Thread: Sad to say, but it looks like Mandalorian armor isn't going to be worth making...

according to the current state of the game letter bh armour is coming in publish 8.2 so maybe yes we can get loot atm, but come the minipublish we can actually craft bh armour ? if that is the case we should be do nicely when we compare other armour loot drops(non exceptional) to what we can make.

I have to say that I think the stats on the BH armor mean little in relation to Mandalorian. Without an actual crafted piece of Mandalorian, I think its premature to infer anything from this stuff.

its terrible what they have done with armor.. every freakin noob in these galaxies has a set of composite better than exceptional that is looted... ill bet... you are not gonna see the resources to make this armor this good for a looooong time.. yo will have to mine and save for months till another high grade component is around again.. composite is waaay too good.. and im almost positive.. its gonna be going away... chances are that armor you see in the pic above is made with those terrible resources just to see what it looks like.

Here's .25cred, go buy a clue...

If you havn't been paying attention, the armor in the screenshots is looted, noone made it.

I fully expect all armors (and most specially Composite) to be completely overhauled.


Iguess that in some future patch, 90% compo will be as rare as prenerf krayt fwg5, and as costly.

I also looted some of this stuff on Endor yesterday - leggings and a bicep. So it's no exploit. I got mine from Black Sun NPC's - an assassin and a thug. At the same spawn there were also Death Watch ghosts and wraiths.. and a super battle droid that was killing everything in sight. The DW are pretty badass (lowest I saw was 98k HAM) but the BS are very solo-able. Somebody else at the same spawn showed me a DE-10 barrell and an executioners hack schem... so these guys are dropping all the new loot.


If anybody on shadowfire wants to see it up close, the leggings and bicep are in my house at -191 -5824 on corellia, about 1000m south of coronet.

I think all the AS's should boycott making Mandalorian for those 4 classes. Just make it for yourselves and put it on display (if we can even do that with it)

If any devs are reading this (like it even matters) why do you have to perverse SWG with Mando armor?


The whole Fett enigma is my absolute FAVORITE thing about the SW Universe and the thought of anyone in game being allowed to have it is rediculous. In the SW Universe this armor was supposed to be basically lost and never to be found again and the utter thought of a Dancer, AFK Spamming merchant etc wearing this armor just disgusts me. That and the fact that super rares like this keep credit dupers and ebay credit sellers in business, continuiously jacking up the Economy in SWG. For example theres NO reason RIS helmet should come with a 25mil tag because is it werent for exploits and dupes NO -ONE should ever own this much cash. Am I the only one that wants this left out of game? What's next SOE? A new instance cave with Lootable Vader Helmets????


Sheesh!
