I'm gonna hazard a guess here...Rodians won't be able to wear the helmet right?

I think the biggest problem with this armor will be no Armorsmith or DE will want to brave the bunker. It really isnt worth the time spent and the number of trips to successfully get to the bottom of the bunker in order to make the armor. The armor should be fully lootable or the schematic lootable for crafting at the comfort of home. Even though i am gettig tired of the limited use schematics. That seems to be the be all end all solution these days. I will not be taking my Armorsmith down there. Not worth it!! From the stats I have seen the DE10 pistol is nothing special.
This will be another corellian corvette. about 5-10% of the entire game population will get to enjoy again. Good thinking DEVs. My fun meter was pegged on anticipation of the Vette and it is now rapidly decreasing. I have seen so many people drop in the last week because the vette and ultimately the bunker (I have seen the MOBs) have been designed for a small portion of the player base.

I dunno if it includes wookie
But i did hear that the reason why mando armor is for those four professions is because
Of course BH and commando
but for ranger because the suit is actually called Mandalorian scout armor , it has more flexibility than other armor. (Which will probably mean it wont be better than comp)
and SL they said something like they had Death Watch squads or mercs or somethng like that, but there was a leader over the squad.
(Ill try to find where I seen that at dunno if thats totally true, but after i read it I can see why mando armor is for these prof.

Question is, will it be like RIS armor were it proves to be so impossible to get that just about nobody on a fully packed server like Eclipse has more than a single piece of it. And a full suit of it only exist on SOE's wallpaper graphics...
On ahazi I have seen full suits of it, the issue is it is useless more then it is rare. Or, to say it more clearly, it is useless, so thus it is rare. It is basically pimped ubese where you can select what is in SP, instead of just getting kinetic..

Well, let's hope it isn't as good as composite. I'd rather have a good suit that looks like everyone else than a crap suit like RIS or whatever. Perhaps yes, good for decoration, but if only a select few professions can wear it, it'd better not be better than composite.

It is extremely hard to get, first of all you need a full suit of BH armor that can be looted of Black Sun NPC's then you need to go into the Death Watch Bunker with a Tailor an AS and a DE(all masters)without them dying(bear in mind it is extremely hard with a group of 20 elite profs and our group all died) and then find and talk to the NPC that makes it, he tells you that you need more components so then you need to proceed to look for these in the dungeon. So i expect only a few people will have a set.

well, these arent the mandalorians, so to speak. This armor is from the DEATHWATCH COMMANDOS. Hence, giving it to commandos is appropriate. In the films, only bounty hunters wear the armor, so that makes BH appropriate. Why rangers and squad leaders have it, I have no idea. I dont even think that we should.

The Armor should not be that rare. Sure it should be very hard to get and seeing 2 or 3 suits in one place should be uncommon but 2 suites in a life time is a bit out of touch.
Boba was able to replace his father's set. It was intended for Military units so certainly more than a handful were made.
The game is supposed to be fun and about achievement not about unachievable objectives. Make it hard, make it fun, not a tool to make people have less hope.
I think it is awesome that it's going to be master only. That alone will limit the numbers as most people like to have uber builds.

I thought he used his father's set. Or was this in the EU? After he escaped from the Sarlacc pit (Yes, he did escape, read the Star Wars Databank).
