I think we can all agree one of the best parts of an MMO is finding new gear and making your character look better. A concern I'm having with SGW is that it will be similar to the system in COH/COV where you design your character's appearance at the start and it's fixed throughout the game. I mean, how many different variations of the j'affa armor can there be? Or if you play an asguard, they're just running around naked anyways.

Totally understand your concerns. I tried CoH for about 2 weeks but when their was no weapons or armor to quest for, and not any type of real crafting system i quit after 2 weeks. From just the SGW trailer, they showed a human wearing halo type power armor which i don't remember from the shows, so obviously they are going to bend the restrictions on the types of armor that are available. Sort of like galaxies added a lot of armor to the game that wasn't in the movies. For humans they can basically add any type of armor they want and clothing. For jaffa if you look closely at the armor in episodes they do have different armor looks. Especially the helmets, u have factions like the horus guard with their helmets that look like the head of a bird, or the serpent guard that has the head of a snake. So I'm not too concerned about the humans,jaffa, or the go'ould. The asgard on the other hand are going to be the naked species, but I'm sure you'll be able to quest for different types of drones/upgrades that they use for defense and attack. I don't see the developers leaving asgard with nothing to quest for. I like having as many armor/weapon/character customization options as possible to differentiate my character from others. So as I said I understand what your concerned about but I'm sure they will come up with good options.

True, the asgards could also be restricted to a scientist type class and be used for buffs and such. I wouldn't mind seeing the creation of new go'auld system lords too to expand on the helmet designs.

Won't Asgards be more vulnerable to damage and less resistance to weapons without any armor and do you think they will have less Health Points than other species?

Probably, but that's any caster/ranged class in an MMO

the asgard will have shield technology to protect them from damage. i think that will probably be a race trait for them. Shields will probably be the armor for the asgard.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the System Lords, and there will be new ones, may have the ability to create tabard like head pieces for their Jaffa. In that if you are aligned with said system lord your head piece will reflect that design. But we shall see what happens. As for the Asgard I think the drone customization is exactly what will happen for them.

I am liking your ideas Taslo... you need to be a thinktank at CME....

The trouble with Goa'uld armor is that they are always showing up over dressed for a gun fight...
