Future Faction Armor Model Changes

Recently, TRay tweeted the following:


Any ideas on how the models might be changing? How might they be changed to better match the lore/history?

[Nathaniak]

Any idea why this wasn't in from the start?

Idea 1: It will be a revert to the stuff from the early dev process
Idea 2: They'll offer the current looks as DLC

There will be a ton of this stuff coming out. SOE makes money....

[Dragonskin]

They may not have done this from the start because they were focused on getting the game out to make money. Now that it's their new cash cow they can go back and touch up things that were rushed. No doubt they found ways to increase appearance without hitting performance as hard as before.. or at least that is my hope because the Lancer animations, Lasher animation and new VS look got me hooked into playing VS again.

I'm all up for more badass looks and better performance. I've never been too happy about especially the looks of NC and VS infantry.

[LostAlgorithm]

I'm really hoping they'll change how some of the VS weapons look. Well, the scopes more than anything. Even most of my Nerf guns have scopes that look more serious.

I think it's safe to say that the current models are just placeholders - I'll go out on a limb but T-Ray's reply says to me they'll be updated as base game content; of course after market items are going to cost - can't wait for the Player Studio integration hopefully around mid summer though.
