Mando and Beskar?

[Strider Garon]

Why do mandalorians have to grind a dev thread to get a full set of beskar'gam? Seems counter productive to the member base growth.

Do Jedi or Sith have to dev a lightsaber?

And all Force user get to start out with what ever basic force user techniques they wish so I think Mandos should be able to have access to mandalorian armor just the same.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Because Beskar is uber stronk and it breaks the game.

That's like wondering why you have to level up a character in an RPG and not just start out with the best armor in the game.

cmon

 

[Mrrew]

Because, I believe, people were joining the mandos just to get beskar, then dropping out a few days later instead of actually staying with the faction.

If I remmeber properly the dev thread's there so people don't use the Mandalorian faction as a shortcut to get beskar.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Also, maybe new Jedi / Sith folks should go on a quest to create their lightsaber.

Such a thing is canon, after all, as new padawans / acolytes usually don't get thrown a dangerous cut-through-anything laser sword right off the bat.

 

[Arumi Zy]

@Mrrew Could have easily fixed that, leave the mandos loose the beskar, or some other thing other then the heavy hammer o' doom.

Besker is no more powerful then a jedi chucking starfighters around or lazer swords that can cut through nearly anything like butter. Mace Windu gave it to Jango in like a milasecond.

What if someone's a mandalorian for a long time and leaves for story reasons? They lose their armor, possibly an important part of their character?

Mace Windu gave it to Jango in like a milasecond.

Jango was wearing durasteel armor there, not beskar. He also got him in the neck, where it wasn't as strong. With thick durasteel even lightsbaers aren't instant. (I.E Quin-Jon cutting through the blast door.)

 

[Arumi Zy]

[member="Darth Vornskr"] I can agree with that, those are some of the most powerful kill you in almost any kind of armor weapons. :Shrugs: but i don't really have say.

 

[Strider Garon]

Yeah, if the mando are laden down with dev threads to gain their cultural gear then I think Force users would have to do the same.

 

[Arumi Zy]

Jango was also hit where the plates weren't so even wearing beskar he would have died. Beskar'gam isn't impervious and has a lot of gaps.

That would be an entirely different circumstance then someone joining and leaving then wouldn't it.

 

[Arumi Zy]

[member="Strider Garon"] No, no jedi lightsabers aren;t as powerful as beskar, they take a full minute to burn through a capitol ships blast doors.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

Beskar was abused.

A rule was put in place to make it less abused.

It has been less abused.

Either way, miss [member="Spencer Jacobs"] is in charge, so she'll be able to provide more insight.

I agree with this wholeheartadly. New Sith or Jedi in canon didn't instantly get a new lightsaber...

[member="Arumi Zy"] - But who's to say how long in the faction is long enough?

 

[Arumi Zy]

[member="Sarge Potteiger"] Lightsabers can be a bused and any force user has one pretty easily, its a weapon that can cut through almost anything with ease. Its iconic to force users same as the Beskar is to mandos. You guys are in charge, i respect and follow your decisions but i think another answer would have been best. Do i know for sure what that is nope, i'm not you guys.

 

[Strider Garon]

[member="Sarge Potteiger"] Force powers are continuously being abused...... haven't seen much done about that. I understand what your saying Sarge and if it were up to me only the mandos would have beskar and only for Armor and melee weapon use.

 

[Mrrew]

ts a weapon that can cut through almost anything with ease.

Just saying but just because they have lightsaber sdosen't mean the should automatically nkow how to use them perfectly, without fault. ANd if they do, that's imo unrealistic. They can cut through nearly anything... including your own arms and legs.

 

[Arumi Zy]

@Mrrew So then make a rule for them to have to go on a quest (Dev) to actually make their lightsabers then or maybe this is more appropriate smiley

Who is to say? You guys make the rules, or leave it to the Mando faction staff, or make leaving the mandos actually be based on something other then the abuse of making a dude and dropping out etc. Could always require a good reason, like Strider slept with your wife or something.

 

[Mrrew]

I'd actually like that rule.

Makes it much more realistic then having a deadly weapon as a youngling or acolyte.

 

[Arumi Zy]

[member="Strider Garon"] I agree with armor and personal weapons, small things and nothing above making 3 or 4 of them. Beskar is a rare metal, no one should be making tanks, droids, nukes or what ever with it without a good reason and very, very few of them.

 

[Arumi Zy]

[member="Mrrew"] I do to, i did it many years ago myself and canon supports it. It is a part of progressing canonically and a big mile stone.

 

[Mrrew]

[member="Arumi Zy"] - In a roleplay I was in before you weren't even allowed to make your lightsaber until you had a master, and it was a milestone you did with your master. Before that you had vibroblades or training sabers.

But the purpose of this thread is about beskar. Prehaps another thread can be made about this idea, rather then cluttering this one.
