Bmill...I'm much rather see a lot of Mandalorians (which you could only unlock AFTER reaching Master BH anyways), than a bunch of Jedi (that everyone and his brother can unlock, and probably has) run around. I seriously doubt a lot of people would accomplish it very quickly, if at all. Hell, just look at Mandalorian armor. I STILL have yet to see a single server that has a complete set. There are only 5 pieces on Tarquinas altogether. Having a number of Mandalorians running around sounds a lot more believable than having a lot of Jedi.

We have a full set on Kettemoor, you can see it on eBay. :chuckles:

/sign but...

for the BH vs BH I'd like to see something like this:

since Jedi missions can be taken by several BHs it would be nice to have an option to actually hunt the BH who already has the mission and so make sure yer the one getting the reward...
Not only could you have the choice to kill the BH but also to group with them.
I know Im more a solo BH since I can wait over 10 hours for a mark to show up just for the fun of it, but some prefer to be in groups and it would enhance the GCW as you could kill the opposite faction BH and so harm the economy by slowing their income...I know it seems a bit complicated, but it's possible if the "WILL" is there.
So it would mean you should increase the mission delay to 5 days instead of 3, but i guess it's not much of a problem.
Man what wouldn't I give for some new REAL content and not the adventure packs like they like to call it in the scene...RotW and ToOW Expansions ?...mm, na...just adventure packs...they don't expand anything in the game..we already had mounts and vehicules..they just give us more choices..nothing else..I want NEW Stuff and this idea here to enhance our professions is great..so Id like to see all professions enahnced like that...SWG really needs it

You are just a skeptic. There is at least one full set on Eclipse. I've seen at least 2 people from the guild that owns it wearing it. It's dark silver, and has red trim. It is 100% modded up with +25 tapes for speed, defenese, terrain, etc and is 100% ADK'd. I don't take screenshots of other people's "cool" stuff so I don't have one to show you. You can probably get a picture or 2 of it in the Eclipse forum if you search for mandolorian armor.


As far as your other comments.... Mandolorians are more rare than Jedi my man. At least in known space. At this point in the story, they were driven back to the "unknown regions" after the Mandolorian War. The exist on Endor at the Death Watch Bunker, but this is a splinter cell and not "true" Mandolorians according to Boba Fett's story of them.


Plus... there are confilcting views of what kind of Armor the Mandolorians wear. There is the Boba Fett Style armor and there is the armor seen in KOTOR. Supposedly, they are from about the same time period in history.


I'd more like to see professions like the faction npcs have: Sith Hunter and Jedi Hunter. Those might be an alternative to the Mandolorian idea.


Besides.... Mandolorians were NOT contract killers like Bounty Hunters. They were some of the galaxies best combatants, but they DID NOT fight for money. They fought for the love of war. The worshiped war and what it represented. Their whole code was a warrior's code, where a Mandolorian was not "proven" until he was tested in battle. The "battle" represented in the game, BH vs Jedi is not the same.

parts D & E are definately do-able. (on a lighter note maybe BH's can get thier own expansion, with the new one on the way Jebay have 2 now)

I like all of it except the specifics on how you would become a Mandalorian. DWB in itself is a challenge. Unlocking Jedi is not. Any one can solo about 90% of unlocking Jedi. You need serious backup to take on the DWB.


Also, as far as Mandalorians go... they are a race. A bloodline. You can teach an Australian about Japanese culture, habits, customs and ethics, but that doesn't make the Australian a Japanese in blood. Just because I know a lot about fixing cars, doesn't make me a mechanic. Just because someone gets taught the ethics and abilities of a Mandalorian, doesn't make them one in blood. Do you really think Boba would call a "wannabe" a brother in blood?


I'm not trying to down your ideas in any way, nor am I trying to flame them. I just think the Mandalorian idea needs to be throught through a little bit more.

dont like your mando idea... not many have time to compete for that.


I think a quest should open thouigh thar gives us bobba fett armor easier whih has stats that would help us be more of a fight against jedi.


also have it so the armor has gadets like grapple hook or shoot nets to stun jedi on spot for awhile.

I don't recall Jedi every really being considered a profession either, but changing species is kinda out of whack too. I personally don't think it is our time for a profession revamp. I have been a bounty hunter for a while and I know it is kinda messed up right now, but you can't tell me that a lot of other professions aren't messed up too such as squad leader, smuggler, ranger. What do those professions have to offer? At this point in time they don't work well as a main profession, but merely an accent to a profession like our own. I love bh and I would love to see cooler things happen with it, but I don't wanna see half the population as jedi and half as bounty hunter. So why don't they fix the even more broken professions in order to spread out the population. Then they could make bh kick @$$. Until then, patience. We have had enough changes for now. I just hope we don't see any more profession hurting changes.



I am Balock the aristocratic Bounty Hunter! Do I need the money? No. It is merely my lust for the hunt driving me to you!
