I love the new armors, the Mercenary one looks good! The base concept for the armor gender versions are the same, but with a different twist between the two.
The mage one is nice, but it's not my preferred taste. I like other kinds and types of armor, I guess! :)
The same I cant say about the Bounty Hunter one. I was very excited when I saw the male armor, it is what I really was looking for! I love the armor!
But the female version, in my opinion, doesn't come close. The design is similar, but there are many differences from the male one. Differences that cost it's awesomeness:
__The Gloves: What happened to them? One of the most badass things about the armour were the gloves, and they've got replaced by something bland, and weak looking. And the hands, in comparison, ended up the worse. :(
They deserve big, hard, round, metallic Gloves!
__Shoulder pads: They look like a square, compared to the male version. The original ones have a very interesting shape, which could have been kept. The glowing green part also looks better in the male one. It looks more compact, more placed inside the shoulder pad. The female one is rounded, and on the outside of the shoulder pad. It appears more fragile.
__Leg Armor Pad: It doesn't match the rest of the armor very well. It doesn't have the matching shape of the shoulder pad, which is a very interesting thing in the male version.
Also, the double white parts are too much. Too much white, and a weird shape. I understand the small one next to it, since it connects to the Leg belt, but it doesn't fit very good.
The Leg armor covers too much of the leg in comparison, I like the simple and smaller look you went for in the male one.
__Body section: It looks good, but it could be better in the details. The green Tubes, for example, are a bit off. In my opinion, they don't match the armour much. They could blend into the armor better if they were thinner.
I also noticed the body part falls into the Belt line a bit. The details look like they were Cut. The green detail dives into the belt, instead of defining where the chest armour stops. (It doesn't help much that the Belt itself is too straight, and lacks definition).
In the male one, It has a completed look, And the green line even follows the shape of the frontal chest piece. (And I notice again, it is the same shape as the Shoulder and Leg pads!)
It could be interesting if it followed the same idea! :)
__Orbs: Where there were no orbs before, now we have 4 green ones! I don't mind the orbs, but not when they are located mostly in the Boot piece! It seems unbalanced to me.
It doesn't match, as the rest of the armor has none. (what saves it here is the Green eye in the helmet! xD)
But I think an extra green on the Boots is a good improvement! But not in the form of 3 orbs (They tend to be overused). The Neon looking lines are awesome, they could have been there instead.
Overall, the male one looks more Solid and a more refined concept. The female version suffers from some mashup of pieces of different shapes that could look better together, to stand out as a full distinguishable armor.
If I hadn't seen the male version, I would have applauded this armor, which itself is awesome. But the male version is exceptional, and it makes me wish the same for the female one! :)
I play a female Bounty Hunter, so I had quite the expectations. I was very excited and I had high hopes (and high standards!) for this one, as you could see.
So.. I am sorry for the strong criticism. I've pointed out mostly what I saw as less good in comparison, but the rest is Top notch! :D
