Armor Issue: Some armor is erroneously displaying resistance to Lightsaber damage, when displayed in a vendor or on the Bazaar terminals. We apologize for the inconvenience; Buyers please beware, most armor does NOT actually have Lightsaber resistance regardless of displayed characteristics. .
I understand the LS resists as of late have been bugged.... but this statment above is kinda misleading if only the PSG has LS resist. The way this sentence is layed out it seems that there is more then one type.... Is there a way that you can confirm wether the epic quest armor has Lightsaber resists.... or will have in the near the future. I mean some peoples idea of end-game content is a glorfied sparkle and the bloated ego that goes with... others prefer a challenge and if we put our time into it deserve an edge agasint the Jedi. So basically my question is..
Do the Devs plan on giving RIS and MANDO armor
LightSaber resists like they deserve?

LS resist on PSG is a bug and not inteded.
I'm pretty sure Mando don't have LS resist.
Dunno for RIS.
So far the only thing I've seen with a LS resist that doesn't appear to be a bug are vehicles.

Thanks for the reply.... but PSG's are supposed to have LS resists as stated by the DEVS. Dont think a mando item has been crafted post 9 patch yet or not.... But would like clarification from the Devs and/or teh AS correspondent as soon as possible.

I've been inquiring into this and I'm going to keep trying to squeeze more information out of the devs. So far you know as much as I do.

Can anyone find an officialDev quoteon this topic? I could have sworn they said something about PSG's being resistant to lightsaber damage, but I can't find the quote anywhere. Maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

So, wait are you saying, that as I have gathered top quality materials, and such in order to make Imperial PSG's, spent 6.7 Million on resources, and countless hours having my factories run 24/7, just so I can make the one Item I am told has lightsaber resists no is considered a bug! What the hell am I supposed to tell my customers, that have spent 400+k on crates of psgs, for the lightsaber resist?
sceuse me for the rant, just a lil upset if this is true...

Right there with you, Silvadeus. I went out of my way to get top-notch Imperial PSGs made for lightsaber protection. Now I have 311 shields, a trade forum ad, and a vendor bark which all need to be changed.
I'll start digging for that Dev quote about shields being resistant to sabers. I **KNOW** it's in here somewhere. We didn't imagine it.
I can tell you that whenever it was said, it was before May 28th, going by a comment in a post I made that day.

I FOUND IT!!!
It was said in the Jedi Archives, Volume III
_____________________________________________
What is the new lightsaber damage type?
A new damage type has been created called, "lightsaber damage". All armor is vulnerable to lightsabers, with the exception of Personal Shield Generators. However more to the issue, there really wasn't a new name that fit besides "lightsaber" at the moment. Some of the suggestions by players were "Glowing Beam of light", "lightsaber-energy", "Plasma", "Light" and "Extreme Heat". When considering all of these things, we stuck with a very basic title that everyone could relate to. "Lightsaber" damage is a literal description and describes it as well as we can without creating any form of confusion with existing energy weapons.

Jaato, you have what you need now to go to bat and get Lightsaber resistance put into PSGs.

I figured it out! The Devs used to be politicians! They just love to lie to us.
If that quote is true then why are they telling us that it's a display bug and PSG's aren't supposed to have LS resists? WE should at least be given a response of the PSG issue. Then we should also get a response to whether or not Mando Armor should have LS resists and RIS as well. I don't think its fair that Lightsabers can cut through every single armor in this game. I know Jedis need to be strong but they shouldn't be unbeatable.
It's kind of funny that Mando armor probably can't be made without the help of a Jedi. Since they are the only ones that can kill the SBD's.

Concidering the past history of such situation, I would rather say that TH sometimes misphrase (is that a word?) what he want to say.
And for the SBD, you are very very wrong. A Jedi can help alot in the DWB but mainly because he can heal mind and tank more than the average player (even if I, as a non master tka, can tank 2 SBD for quite a while).
