Still don't think it is that hard. Trane a bunch to a choke point. Spin.
Still think it is boring. Spin Spin Spin. SBD != content.
Still not sure of the point. Seems you can't even get armor out of it.
I feel bad for all the people who have been going there a lot. They must of thought they we close to getting armor. "Dude we were so close to getting it!" Bzzzt nope. it doesn't work. Go back to half pay missons on Dant, so you can get another set of armor and food.

really dont see anything positive here. Things do not bode well if that is the case. Jump to lightspeed is needed just to keep players attention? Things have improved content wise i the short time i have been on however much is too difficult or ends up costing so much in terms of eq weapons and armour that it really isnt worth while. prices are inflated with some people charginmg rediculous amounts causing most players to have no money resorting to begging or like someone i know buying from ebay!
can i hear the death bell ringing for galaxies...i really hope not.

I am amazed that I am seeing 25 pages, with 99% of the comments being negative to EXTREMELY negative, a couple threads stating that the bunker crafting station is actually broken and offering proof.......and yet I see no developers response. No one is doing anything about it as of June 17th as far as I can tell. This tells me a couple things I have been pretty sure of all along.
1) You guys (devs) have some impressive job security
2)The game Developersaren't listening. I can picture you right now with hands over your ears, going "lalalalalalalalalala..I can't hear youuuuuuu".
3)Sonysnd it's development team areWAY TOO CONFIDENT that Star Wars Galaxies can exist on name recognition.
Once you learn to stop assuming we are naive, unintelligent blathering idiots that will jump up and down in glee any time you wave a shiny piece of glass in front of us you might stand a chance.
But I stated something like this almost a year ago. And nothing has changed. Between thenightmare that becoming a jedi (theselling point of the game,no?) has turned intoand this Bunker fiasco ...... I just don't kow guys.
Good luck all!!! And may the Force...wherever it is......be with you all.

Well, now our 25 pages of input will go unheeded....a pack of power-gamers finally managed to make one piece of Mando armor....which now justifies the DWB difficulty...now we are all truly screwed. Thanks for nothing.

The deathwatch bunker is where I go to feel completely useless. (Yay pistoleers!)

I'm with ya holbach. although we aren't useless against the actual DW guys, but once a droid enters the room, we are toast.

Have you made it out to the bunker yet?
What were your experiences?
What is your opinion of this new adventure zone?
I have never been able to get a large enough group together to tackle these area's. No one seems that interested or that it is worth the effort. Maybe I should try a pickup group but I have never had any luck in swg in finding such groups.
I feel I am probably to low of skills to go there and I know I am unable to solo as I don't have good composite.

I have seen a few TKM's meditating with the black sun armor or the normal drop armor. Hopefully I will be able to go out there and solo a few bad guys to see if I can get a set of that armor. I never expect to actually get a set of mando though as I doubt even if I got a group together that I would be the one to receive the pieces, it would go to other members of my guild.

Looks like this thread, is dieing from lack of interest and response. Hmmm, sounds like the bunker.

i like the bunker 
my feedback:
- its very challenging. but it is anoying that you need 20 minutes for a SBD the buffs last only 3 hrs. balance this down a bit. (make them do double or tripple damage so our healer has some fun too. and make them fall in 5 minutes thats enough)
- the standart Battledroids are a good match. a group of 6 people can handle them good and its not too anoying.
- The Humanoids are fair.
my ideas
- someone alredy mentioned above to let the droids drop loot. Did you consider dropping something for the droid engeneer off them? perhaps a shematic for a battledroid chassis or something like that. i likebattledroids they are very starwarsy .) Combat modules, upgrades for droids so on... your 12 year old whining customers ( sry looks like that to me ) should not only think about the armor. what about high lvl loot for the other professions? this bunker should make every profession interestet in it so everyone has a reason to go there. here is a short list :
Risk versus Reward 
- droid engeneer: new chassis, modules. (not only mando crafting)
- smuggler: perhaps a molecular clamb that pops up one more window which asks you what you want to slice ? onetimeuse ?
- Entertainers: i actually dont know what a mandalorian merc does on vacation but it MUST have something to do with entertainers. as i said : high lvl dungeon, high lvl loot. new songs learnable from shematic, and instruments, clothing with stat mods and special VIP look for dancers.
- Tailor. WS, AS, same thing as above. they are not only there to craft mandalorian. they always need components and things... not only special things like DE10. also riflestocks, powerhandler like krayt tissues that can be used in standart weapons too.
- did you ever think about an architect how he would go mad if he would find a component that lets him craft a factory which needs only half the time for an item? or a component that lets harvesters get more effective? or a component with that he is able to make a special look naboo house ?
- Bio engeneer : perhaps a onetime use shematic that lets him make some biosensors for combat skills ? or a shematic for a cool lookingancient mandalorian pet *g*
- common loot for all classes: Skilltapes. CA / AA
last words:
We need a looting system like it is explained in the manual. define the person who gets the loot to roll it out afterwards.
before i forget : dont listen to the whiners. everything is fine in the DWB except theno dropping droidsand the to tough SBDs

Before I started to play this game I was runing around as a Atrox in Anarchy Online. I hadmore then oneyear of fun, then I got bored of all camping. So I started to look for a new game and found this.
And yes I was having fun again. Until everybody (and people around the galaxie) in my guild started to grind profession to become Jedi. We all whent soloing. I started to work on Marksman and after some time I became Commando. And at that time all I was doing where missions after missions after missions. I got bored again. So I started to explore planets. And after some time, bored again. Yay a badge, happy for about 5min then it was all over. Time to move along to next badge.
Then came the Corellian Corvette. Looked real nice on the website so the guild was again back to try it out.But it was way to hard. Now we where back doing our own things. We didn't see any point in going back for just a new car to fly around in.
Then came this, the Death Watch Bunker. Same here it looked real nice on the website but way to hard, so nobody whanted to visit it.
This is killing us. There are nothing fun to do anymore. People are now dropping out from the guild to go over to the other faction. With hope of having some fun. Also many of us are talking about finding a new game. Some have quit playing and some are waiting for better days.
I will stay a wait on the Jedi patch. My hope is that it will give me something to do. But after Corvette and this Bunker I don't know if there is chance for me out there.
