Certs for Mandalorian armor will be: Bounty Hunter, Commando, Ranger and Squad Leader

Thanks for both this and your answer to the Ranger question. You have made one Master Ranger extremely happy. If you want some idea of how cynical some Rangers are becoming, the answer you gave was honestly very similar to the best case response I had laid out in my mind. And then you add a bit of icing to the cake.

ooooh so that's the developers intent? bounty hunters selling meat to make a living. well hell, if i had thought of that i never would have posted.

if the restriction was removed you could still master bounty hunter and master scout, since you like it so much.

---

listen dumbass, if they remove scout then they will also remove the high off./med defense of us since we can master another profession. your request would be to basically nerf us and make us the same as all of the other combat professions. i for one want high offense and med defense, dont you?

---

did you read the response? obviously not. high offense medium defense is a great objective. the point is IT WONT WORK. why? for the reasons thunderheart wrote in his own answer. oh and try thinking a bit before you go off and call someone a dumbass.

So now that Mandalorian is a class specific armour are we going to start seeing other class specific armour? For example the Pikeman community wanted Royal Guard armour pretty badly, but you claimed it would go against continuity. Now that you've decided to throw continuity out the window and release mandalorian armour as a class specific item do we have any chance of seeing our guard outfits?

In the much maligned December Publish you did the first phase of a 4 part combat rebalancing, you nerfed every creature in the game.

You told us that with this massive reduction in power we would see that creatures under level 50 that didn't spawn babies would become the exception rather than the rule. This did not happen as you explained it to us. There are practically no new babies available in the game and all of the existing wild pets are less powerful than they used to be. Some of the rares are *so* rare that they are assumed to either not exist or to be bugged in some manner.

After promising us more types of babies in a patch that happened in December, are you *seriously* telling us that you won't even look into it until after publish 10?

We're not even asking for more power. These are relatively low level babies we're talking about. We're just asking for more fun and variety in a system whichin the past wasproven torequire more or less a flip of the proverbial switch to change.

Please tell me this is not serious. What can spice possibly have to do with the force?

Combat Balance:

please open the sandbox up to people who play on live.

Here are my combat characters:

- Master Bounty Hunter / Carbineer

- Carbineer / Fencer

- TKM

I was in Beta, send a ton of /bug reports (hopefully they have some utility), and have been asking for the /upload character feature to be turned on soI could helptest the combat balance since December. I would take the testing very seriously.

I hope this means without getting caught by player bounty hunters

I've been talking about missions just like these for many, many months.

I understand why the reward is not monetary, because you don't want bounty hunters and smugglers conspiring with each other to share the prize.

But there are ways around this problem.

If the smuggler and the bounty hunter had to put up half the money, to the victor goes the spoils. If the smuggler makes the delivery without getting caught, they get all the money. If the bounty hunter catches the smuggler before he reaches the destination and defeats him, the bounty hunter gets all the money. Also instead of delivery anything with any real inherent value, it could just be some sort of place holder. For example: a mysterious package would show up in the smuggler's inventory if he accepts the mission. Yet nothing would be in the package. This is just like regular delivery missions, except there is higher risk/reward. There would be no set amount to poney up either. If I want to risk 20,000 credits to do one of these missions, and a smuggler doesn't mind risking the same amount, either of us could stand to make a pretty penney, if we succeed.

The ironic thing about this is none of those professions are strong enough to last very long in the DWB.

Thunderheart says: ....and that the Pikeman covet the Energy Lance because basically, it gives Pikeman a useful and much desired weapon.

I disagree while it is desired it is not very usefull just ask some people that have them, they look cool, but they are really subpar compared to the other loot you'd find before getting your hands on this, the damage is energy, useless in pvp and in pve blocked commonly as well,the double DoT is okay but if they were like a high psn on health and a stronger than the standard diease it may be a little better.

The new weapon in combat balance sounds good, I suggest restraint since it is not used really yet.

Alright so my questions didn't get seen...lemme try that again...

So we're looking at another 4 months of 96m poisons being thrown at us and rifle mind shot specials firing faster then even pistoleer specials?
