I agree ... I fear I'm mixing up things here. It's not the Mando armor who's freaking me out (if you are able to get you a suit, well .. then you deserve it) it's thecombat (defence/dmg absorption/offence) rebalance. I just really hope it will take armour defence caps in account.

this better be limited. Or else continuity will so suffer more than it already has. You can thank Jodo Kast for the not only Boba has it, but still the armor should be limited to maybe5 full sets or10 Helmets. The rest of the loot should be Mandalorian Armor plates

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO LEGITAMIZE THE MASTER SCOUT PRE-REQ!!!!!!!!! Give the Master Bounty Hunters the ability to craft our own armor out of resources that we, as scouts, harvest. Give this suit of armor customizable traps, such as the limited range flame-thrower, wrist lanyard, and poison rocket darts Boba Fett had on his armor. This would totally legitamize the Master Scout pre-req, and would give an under-powered elite combat class an edge we have been lacking since defenses were nerfed in for everyone else.

No! ONLY BOBA FETT/JANGO FETT HAD THE FLAMETHROWER. You can probably have the darts though. In The Paradise Snare for payment on Han Solo, Boba Fett asks for Mandalorian Wrist Darts, very rare wrist shooters which could shoot poison darts. But there will be no flamethrower, rocket launcher, jetpack, because all of those things jango and Boba added over time.


PS: IF THEY HAVE FIRESPRAY WITH SE AND I SEE SOME NOOB NAMED -=BobaFett=- I SWEAR.........








in an entire galaxy where faster than light travel, cloning entire armies, and personal energy weapons are the norm, do you think jango and his "son" boba were the only guys that were able to own/build a flamethrower to fit on an armor bracer, you **edit**ing idiot?


give me a decent machine shop, and i'll build one myself. and i live in 21st century america.


im no noob, but i promise if the firespray is available in the SE, i'll be flying one around wearing my mandalorian armor, and i double dog dare anyone to say **edit** about it.

Ok first I would like to say its about time for nice loot to start droping somthing difrent from all the rest.


But I hope this is done right and by that I mean every combat player should be able to use this armor after all the mandalorians wer a warrior race they were not all Bounty hunters or comandos they wer mixed in ther ways of combat so every class that is a combat class should be able to use it, another idea is to have the armor segmented into class specific items like the grapling hook could be used only by Bounty hunters and it could have a effect like slowing down the target your attacking this way ech combat class has a specific item on the armor that only thay can use but also alows all combat classes to use the main stay of the armor. Also this armor is a very rare armor in the timeline now and I would hate to see every player on my server wering it but I also need to say this it should be made that every one could get it by puting the same time into it, Ie either having it a mission type item were you get one item per difrent mission or have the dungeon instanced becus all the devs are asking for is another huge group to quit the game all becus of players yelling and screeming becus ther are non stop camps of mobs who drop the stuff, I really hope this is done right or it could blow up huge and by that I mean seeing alot of great players quiting this game for the up and comming EQ II, or other online games launching soon. Any ways just my thoghts pls let me know if you agre with me or not.

Boba Fett was a Bounty Hunter Mandalorians weren't. It would make no sense that only bounty Hunters or commandoes could wear this armor. I see nothing in either tree hinting that they are more skilled in wearing a certain type of armor.









yeah...I agree...they should make it only wearable by mandalorians...? I mean the Mandalorian character race....? I mean....What is your point exactly....


Thare should be some screening process for these message boards....I mean really...like an IQ test...something!


I wont even begin to argue who /how/when/where...etc the armor should be implemented (because there are to many good arguments and reasons for the many issues involved with the armor's implementation), but i will argue that this(post i quoted)is not only failing to resemble an argument, itfails in everyaspect (exceptdemanding the devs start a forum, titled "senseless persons and thier logic-lacking blurbs of pointlessbabbling", in an attempt to clean up the boards.!

OK SOUnd Great, one thing though. Is this going to be like the vette where you going to have to have say 5 people to do it and only one person gets the loot, so you go with another group of people and again someone else get the loot, and by this time your current armor is gone from degration. I am just a crafter, but my other charactor is a heavysordsman/ Armorsmith. what are the chance's of him being able to get a suite for himself if he goes BH. Or is it going to be the luck of the draw?

Yes make it so only master comando's and master bh's can wear it. Though i donot care to much because i am a damn wookie i could never wear it anyway. "sob" But only the elite of soldiers should get to wear it. It is already rediculas how hard it is to kill some idiot wearing comp armour. And every non wookie in the game is sporting a m1 abrams tank on there body and it is so unrealistic to see a entertainer wearing it...

ok, if this armor is only available to be worn by master bounty hunters and commandos (which is reasonable) then EVERY other class should get a master profession-specific set of gear.
