I would take what Everquest did. Put in uber rare special npc's that spawn once a week/month that drop components or give you hints on your next task. Rare npc's work better in largeworlds rather then mini zones like EQbecause it would benear impossible to camp them... it would have to bedumb luck to run into one since the planet areas are so huge. Would make players have a reason to roam the zones more, Rangers would become valuable altho their 200m track range is relatively small butstill can beeffective.

I think it should be possible for someone to get Mando on their OWN through hard work. You shouldnt have to rely on other people to do it like you currently do, especialy since BHs are considered to be "loners" in general. But however they do it, it def shouldnt be easy, exploitable, or quickly obtainable. I think something like 1 piece for 50 Jedi kills would be fair.
Nice posting! This is logical and well thoughtout! /tiphat
It's a great premise and would not be open to exploitation at all. There is already a system in place that tracks your PvP kills. I'm not referring to the PvP Rating feature. About 2 months ago,a Lambda Shuttle landed in Theed, and 2 squads of Stormtroopers and Vader came strolling off it. Vader was handing out "mini" missions to anyone who wanted them. The mission choice was either PvE or PvP. I chose PvP: Kill 5 rebels. That's it. Just kill 5 rebels that were Special Forces. No time limit. Being an avid PvPer I figured it would be easy enough and accpeted the mission. That night I was PvP'ing with the guild and killed 4 unique Rebels. And you actually had to deathblow these guys, not just hit them once to register the kill... .found that out the hardway. Anyway, I killed one guy twice thinking it would register, but it didn't. I found out that it had to be 5 unique PvP deathblows. So I quickly killed another Rebel, got a mission complete, some faction (not sure about a badge though)
The point is... the system is already scripted to track unique PvP kills by player. That system could easily be adapted to be used to track the 50 Jedi then visit from the Mandolorian Series you described.
Whole thing is though 500 Jedi Kills.... unique Jedi Kills.... that's an aweful lot. Are there 500 Jedi on a server? I know there are alot of Jedi, but 500 or more? That is going to be a lot of double missions. Would PvP kills count? Or just Bounty Missions? Another thing to think about. As someone above said, some non-bounty hunter professions could wear Mandolorian Armor (unless it's MBH only certified), killing PvP Jedi would allow them to participate in the fun also.

sounds catchy right up until your last couple of words. You say that BH's are by nature loners. This I agree with, however we're talking about mandalorians and we know that they would stick together in squds like wolf packs.
I agree with that thought, but we're not talking about Mandalorians(who would be in packs)getting Mando armor, we're talking about BHs(who are loners)getting mando armor.
Anyway if they implement this I think we should leave an alternative to our commando/squad leader/ranger society as let's not forget: they too are certed to wear mando and to narrow down the cert to the BH community would be highly unfair as most mandalorians were mercs. Most often associate mandalorians with bounty hunters cause of the fetts but that's not really the case. How do you suppose the commando alternative would work? Or any of the others for that matter.
What is your thought on the fact that BHs are the ONLY proffession that has access to BH schems, yet other proffessions that are certed for Assualt armor can wear BH armor? Do you thik Commandos, for instance, should be able to have missions that loot BH schems since they are certed to wear that type of armor as well?
Sorry, just because they screwed the timeline and reasoning up when bringing in jedi doesn't mean that we have to do it again.

No, they were mercs, and their ranks probably included many diff proffessions, not just the 2 you say they were. But I do understand the fact that they werent 1 specificaly, however, the story I created has to do w/ a Mandalorian trying to exterminate the Jedi for what they did to the Mandalorians, and it just so happens that BHs are the only proff that can hunt Jedi. I do agree that the other proffs that are certed for Mando should have a way to get it, but I'm going to leave it up to members of those proffs to invent the way. I only dealt w/ BHs because its my proff, but their more than free to come up w/ an equally challenging way for their own proffs.

Heh, I was waiting for somene to try that. They already screwed it up in this respect. I can give you the wp to a bunker on Endor where there are HUNDREDS of people wearing full suits of Mando. You think Mando shouldnt be around or should be rare right now? Thats fine. But why arent you petitioning to take out the DWB and all the hundreds of DW inside it wearing Mando armor too?
