The Death Watch(in the comics):The death watch is a group of mandelorians who left them in order to start a new mercenary whatever u want to call it. the death watch was pretty much at war with the Mandelores, along with jedi. Back on point, i beleive this armor should definatly not be a schem. we've had enough crap that we've needed from a crafter.we should be self sufficient to a certain point.as far as certification for the armor i think either a person with the titile "Mercenary"(what the mandelores are)Bounty Hunter, or maybe a commando should only be able to wear it.the other armor in the screen shots (i think its called BH or Black Sun armor)should only be for BHs(if its called BH armor of course).

Can I just say this is just another sad example of how this game fails to take in to consideration casual gamers. Before anyone starts shouting, just listen. Anything in this game that could interest Star Wars fans, is reserved for the power gamers. Let's see , I want to be a Jedi, oops, sorry I don't have 5000 hours a week to play. Ok, maybe I can get some of that cool Boba Fett armor. Oh wait a minute you have to get a schem. so some rich beyond MY wildest dreems crafter can Charge me, I don't know,lets say 5000000 creds to build it. That is if I can even
make it through the damn quests. I don't have alot of time to play, so end up playing most times on my own. I look for groups, but most times I'm not high enough this, you don't have good enough that. So once again I ask ya, is there anything in this game that a casual gamer can enjoy that is STAR WARS related.

I too happen to be a casual gamer, well sort of. What i mean is im not grinding 24/7 sometimes i might be doing other things. I AM NOT A GRINDER, and am not good at it


today i just reached the first 2nd level profession that grasped my interests. I have only been playing for 3 weeks and in those three weeks i was a brawler, then picked up scout then got medic and reached 4/3/4/4 and novice BE and became novice CH. I reached teras kasi novice in about a week then got to 2/2/2/0, like i said im not a grinder and scout 4/0/4/4 and this week (the past 4 days) i have become a ranger 0/2/4/0 mastered scout and mastered marksman for the only proffesion i really wanted...Bounty Hunter. I was aware of all the bugs and problems but i was not hindered by them, i knew what i wanted to do. I will not be a dabbler i plan on MBH and maybe take up medic once again. I just reached Novice Bounty Hunter and wear that tag proudly.


So having that said i just want to say that i am with all the others that think Mand. armour should be a cert. i dont know much about crafting in the aspect of AS, or schems so i wont say much about that but the armour should be certed for MBH/Master Commando, yes i probably don't know what im talking about and go ahead and flame me. Yes i know, the only BHs that wear Mand. armor are the Fetts, but how many d4mn entertainers do you see wearing Mandalorian armor.


why should only MBHs or MCommandos be certed for it? Because think about Jango/Boba they were 1337 Bounty Hunters (MBH) and everybody has seemed to leave out Greedo, the Rodian BH that stopped Han in Mos Eisley if you dont remember. Why did Greedo not have BH armor? because he was an ameteur. And yes i remmeber all the BHs on the super stardestroyer that Vader brought in to find Han Solo, Boba was the only one with Mandalorian armor and he was the only one smart enough to find Solo when he ejected with the garbage before lightspeed.


What im really trying to say here after all this long typing is that, Yes ONLY 2 BHs wear Mandalorian armor, but they were the ONLY elite Bounty Hunters out there, therefore i once again say that it should be certed for Master Bounty Hunter and Master Commando. h3ll i wouldnt be opposed to ONLY MBH, give them some love for pete sake.


just had to say all that...commence the flaming

As A Soon To Be Jedi I Know Mandalorian Will Have Nothing To Do With Me (Unless You Add Some Items For Me To Attain And Sell, Which Would Be Nice)... But Let Regular Players Use The Jetpacks, (Or Add Force Leviation Works For Me Too).

OMG - I'm sorry but what a bunch of whiners you guys are. I believe that you get what you work for. Period. What do you expect? To sit back, relax and still get the same stuff as someone who plays near enuff 24/7? LoL.

So you argue that the power gamers get everything, that the rich 'uber' smiths get everything. What abt us u say, dont we pay the same monthly fees? These very same 'rich' smiths and power gamers invest their time and effort into getting something and somewhere. Success does NOT come cheaply nor easily in this game. You either have to farm loot over and over and over again or work like a dog crafting if you wanna keep up with demand. Its that simple - try walking into McDonalds and asking for a free burger. If they wont even give u a free burger? What makes you think that u deserve the same things that a person puts 12 hrs a day getting? You dont, its that simple really.

Then u'll argue but we have lives and work and stuff...well - make a choice then. I certainly did. I used to be a power gamer but rl work has reduced me to playing 2-3 hrs a day only. I made do, and so should you. Stop whining and enjoy the game for what it is.

Hard work should always be rewarded. Period.

LoL. Read my last post above this one. Alternatively quit ur whining and join a good guild. Maybe the resident smith will help ya out. There's always something you can do abt a situation, sitting on ur hands and whining abt it aint gonna solve it. The proactive people always get more in life, the reactive ones less cuz they have missed the boat. U? Ur the stagnant kind - and these people normally get jack.

I wish they had added a flame thrower which a commando could craft ... I hope its not only for master Bh's Im a commando/bounty because bountys really suck at pvp combat ..


Id rather see the armor given in quests the same way that there heading with jedi or as rewards in live events ....

My vote for Master BH or Master Commando only for this armour. I agree that seeing ANY other profession than these would be serisously degrading for the "feel".


But: I disagree that Armoursmiths should be making uber cash for these items. Existing armour is extortionate already, I can only shudder at the thought of how much this new armour would be costing. BH and Commando's, prepare to be broke



(p.s. - I am not BH or Commando)

MBH only, simple..


Also every fkn patch it seems like the devs add some new way for crafters to make money and new ways for us to pay a heap of creds to them to make 1 single piece. Yet they still feel that they have to balance out the cred and item pool... ugh righhtttt... meaning all combat proffs give all of their creds to crafters?.. again for 1 piece of armor or other gear :/ sad.

i like the idea of the armor lol, tho im pretty happy with my comp armor, the main part of that set id want would be the jetpack, & it would be interesting if the armor was semi customizable (cant remember if it was boba or jango but one had a flamethrower on his wrist built into his armor ala commando then maybe the bh could have something built into the armor like that)


but the set be customizable profession based effect, so all prof can use it, but if it was made for commandos & your a bh you just couldnt use the weapon built into it to its full effect,


but seriously it would rock if you could fire your flamethrower, pistol, rifle, llc, ect. while using your jetpack lol thats the main thing i want lol, i still havent foung the last set of armor that was itroduced into the game lol, no idea the name of it i guess its bh armor or whatever, or the ris armor, heck i rarely see marine armors, i see mostly comp, ubese, stormtrooper armors, anything else i might see rarely lol i seen one set of that bh armor, & a few bone but not in along time lol, heck i never even seen marine armor yet lol

IMO, Mandalorian Armor should be wearable by anyone and everyone... perhaps making it impossible to trade it would be good [therefore making it lootable], and making armorsmiths not more powerful in the economy. I personally made about 100k a week as an architect... if an armorsmith were to create Mandalorian armor and sell it, it would undoubtably go for more than 5 million, and as it is, composite armor suits go for about 500k... sell 10 sets a week, 1 piece of Mandalorian armor, thats 10 million a week...
