NPC Mandalorian Armor


Recommended Posts

Yes, yes, I know. There have already been threads about this many times in the past and no doubt even recently, but being ignored for over 5 years tends to disrupt my ability to give a pudu.

 

Now, forgive me if they have secretly added this armor into the game and I just missed a vendor or something.

 

For many years, players (Mostly Bounty Hunters) have been asking for the ability to obtain the full set of armor worn by the Mandalorian NPCs scattered throughout the galaxy. For many years....they have been ignored.

I swear this has become a game to the devs. It's almost like they are spiteful about it.

 

They gave us the Hunter armor, which is great....kinda. It seems like the closest we are going to get to the full set, but it's still not what many of us were looking for. It's lacking some details such as the shoulder pads and the all important jetpack.

 

They gave us the seeker set...which is also kinda great, but messes with my OCD.

Whose idea was is to give that armor a beige under cloth that can only be dyed to match the under cloth of the legs if you use a primary dark gray dye which presently costs 9 million? Even by dying it, it still doesn't come close to the NPC armor, despite being pretty much the same model.

 

Even if you dig around the currently pathetic selection of heavy armor that is on the trade network, there is still not a piece of armor that can be dyed to even remotely resemble the NPC set. It all comes off as wonky and miss-matched.

 

From a roleplaying perspective, this is even more maddening. I'm restarting my Mandalorian minded hunter and I would love to upgrade as I progress through the story. Starting off with some basic gear, then upgrading to the hunter armor and then finally upgrading to heavy set.

 

I'm not suggesting that the Hunters/Mandalorian's haven't gotten attention. We have some really great armor available to us, but just not the one that many of us have been begging for.

 

Put it in a cartel pack. Add it to the market as a direct purchase. Do what you gotta do, but come on.....just give it to us already. I'm asking you to take my money, EA. You've had no problem with that in the past. Take it! Please?

 

Edit: I have changed my avatar to the armor in question.

Also, picture examples.

Check the Adaptive Gear Vendor in the Supplies area of the Fleet, next to the mods vendors for low lowbies.

 

Those are the Hellfire and Hydra sets, not the NPC Mandalorian armor I am looking for.

I want exactly this.

It's the Hunter set but with shoulders, a different helmet, a jetpack and a fuel hose.

As far as I know, there is no combination of armor and dye that can result in that EXACT look. You can either get the style but not the colors and textures, or you can come close to the colors but not the style, or you can get a wonky combination of the three, but it's still not good enough. I've wanted that look since the game launched and I'm still waiting. Apparently.
