    Re: Lightning Strikes Event

    So... Will I be able to get both Lightning's, AND Snow's outfits? Because if I can only get one, and it's gender specific to the gender I started the quest as, I'm going to miss out. D:

        Gender specific, means that you'll need to drink that Fantasia potion and switch off to get the other set.

          Re: Lightning Strikes Event

          Ugh, didn't anyone else cringe at all the items being level 13?


          Still, I do want to do this event all the same. Hopefully the final chapter will drop some cool stuff. Wonder if they'll have Lightning voiced for this.

            These items will be more valuable once Vanity slots are implemented, mew. Even then, they are still cool to use when not doing content that's not above level 13. Event items typically aren't meant to be high level gear anyway. It's actually nice they aren't simply level 1 gear like the Warrior of Light helm.

              Everyone loves a good town set. I never wear my Darklight gear outside of parties because only the healer set looks decent. I prefer my Battlemage gear for looking pretty for town gear and Roleplaying.

              I think SWTOR did it best with event gear. It is all moddable so if you want to wear that event gear for Raids, you can by just transferring your mods to it.

                This sounds so much better than that transmog crap Blizzard put in, which was arguably just a gold deletion mechanism, which seems to impact only the poorest of players the most (I noticed most players with a lot of gold or who raid a lot and do things which nets them gold, i.e., selling rare drops, tend not to transmog)

                  True, but I do still like that they added that feature to RoS - some of the armor sets look really badass and it sucks to lose 'em.


                  Also really glad SE chose not to add Snow's stupid Toque.

                    It costs credits to transfer the modifications, but it is always pretty reasonable (10k per mod so 30k a pop for endgame items which is nothing in SWTOR at 55) and only really gets expensive if you are doing it with a full BiS gear set with purple augments .

                      I don't. I'd rather display what I've put in the most effort for. Darklight, Veil of Wiyu +1, full Uldahn chocobo barding, etc.

                        How cool is it going to be when everyone is running around looking the exact fucking same because it's BiS? Pretty fucking boring if you ask me...

                          And if you're running around in low-level gear just because you like the way it looks I'm going to think you're a child.

                            Bitch, I run around in low level gear because of how it looks due to the fact that I'm gay and the gays love fashion.

                            So NEEEENERRRRR.

                              So in your eyes variety is not the spice of life? You want everyone to look the same?
