Thread: Mandalorian Alpha Class
ahhh if only...
the idea is great and though i know as well as everyone else this will never happen i think im just gonna sit back and imagine it for a while...that would make this game many times better than it is now

I don't know. I think the last thing we need is another alpha class. One has screwed the game up terribly, why make it so there are even more overpowered players running around?
because it would help put some of the super-inflated jedi ego's in check if they had BH's taking their missions that actually stood a chance...
and im not crying "jedi are unbeatable"...ive beaten many full temps....but there are those certain few on every server with the perfect saber that think they are invincible to BH's and for the most part are, thus letting their egos run wild...
it would be nice in theory to be able to have an "anti-jedi" so to speak to deal with that problem...
besides mandolorians kick ass...nuff said
Now, that's just my little nay-say for this. If this were to be implamented, which is more than likely never will, they should rename Bounty Hunter to Assassin, and have Bounty Hunter a new super-class to check Jedi.
But, since the Devs don't want the game to be all about BH vs. Jedi, they have to choose one... and they chose Jedi.
Oh yeah, and for future reference, I don't know why people think Mandalorians are specially outfitted to hunt Jedi, or think they are a breed of Bounty Hunter. Mandalorians are a race of warlike people who came from somewhere in unexplored (at the time) space. They brought a huge war against the Republic. Mandalorians rarely had encounters with Jedi since the Jedi were never formally sent to fight the Mandalorians. If you played KotOR, you'd know the "history" pretty well.

In all fairness to the timeline that SOE raped and beat like a character on a Lifetime made-for-TV movie, Mandalorians are WAY frickin' extinct. The Jedi killed them off some thousand or so years before this "timeline". Even if, let's say, a few survived extermination. Their traditions are compltely lost... There are no Mandalorians, nada, none. Boba Fett and Jango Fett aren't Mandalorians either... they're just the only ones who have access to the armor.

Well, they can add 2 more classes, Reb and imp elite classes that get more faction based content and are on the same pvp lvl as Jedi and BHs
or a 3rd for neutral

I love the idea of this, really, but the fact is they can't add another Alpha class... you'll just end up with the same problem Jedi caused. They need to get rid of all Jedi XP loss, lower the grind, and bring Jedi down to the rest of the professions. That's the only way Jedi can be checked.

The thing with that idea is that the battlefield would be dominated with the elite forms of what is pretty much the same thing. You'd have Rebel and Imperail "Alphas" running around with absalutely no variety in combat.

I agree this should be the case unless they add more than one.
