Boy it sure is nice of you to give new Armor to everyone that already has armor. I'm going to go run around in my new piece of cardboard, and hope it doesn't break before i die.

Now I personally feel that jedis should not be allowed to wear this armor. However, I will not say that they should not be able to because I dont think it's fair to change a system just to make it good for the whinners. Personally I feel that the system(s) of jedi are made for people who can be on 16 hours a day, but I don't ask them to change the rules.


Dude..Have you actually been playing SWG? NERF NERF NERF because of whinners day in and out.

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...


He cannot speel for crap but a fine point. IF comp armor is as good as it is now..personally the ONLY way to make Mando armor good would be unsliced....80% resists..50% to stun with an added bonus to kenetic (jedi weapon) I really dont care about the skil cost of armor because of Dr buffs anyway.

my thought is this. make it a quest item for master BH.If jedi is going to be a quest to open up the force slot make mando armor the same for the BH, a long series of quests, and at the end u get to speak to a person to buy the armor. that way if it breaks u can always go back and purchase new armor, but make the armor non-tradeable. if u make it a grind camp, it will be insane and will cause more grief then u can imagine.

Not true. It's in the EU, but all you really need is to get Jedi Knight II. Kyle was chasing people that were developing LS resistant armour.

I don't understand your decision based on this statement. Like Jedi, you want it to be rare, but the reality of the situation is that you're making it more COMMONLY AVAILABLE. You're comparing its availability based on us knowing nothing about where to find it compared to its availability within a confined dungeon, all pieces located in that dungeon, and simply have NPCs to kill?


I certainly hope that Mandalorian Armor doesn't become as "commonplace" as Jedi are now.

The difficulty in getting a complete set of Mandalorian can be thought of as the difficulty of a "mini-epic" of sorts.

getting ONE piece of armor will be an adventurous task.

getting ALL pieces of the armor will be extremely daunting.

I don't understand why BH and Commando think that they are the only ones who deserve this stuff, im a master fencer and i haven't seen jack **edit**, they have added no weapons, i could care less about an acklay gaffi, what kind of a fencer uses a stick with a point on it, all combat profs should be able to use this, and one more thing, take off the damn requirements on the avian meat for buff packs, you goddamn devs have no idea how hard it is for us docs to afford that crap.

Huzaa, let the hard work and searching for this armor begin!


This may hurt a bit.
