Galbatorrix Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Heck, they could add a "jetpack" mount to the Cartel packs even. Since Rocket Boost works in areas where you can't mount up, I'd rather leave that alone, but I'd be all for a sepearate "jetpack" mount that actually acted like a regular mount.

And it wouldn't be very difficult, they already have the general build idea figured out. Just seems like a good idea to have a "jetpack" mount.

Just seems like a good idea to have a "jetpack" mount. The Throne seems to be made for Sith. I'm hoping they do this for the other classes too. Jetpacks could be the official Trooper/BH type mount and then they could come up with something else for Jedi and Smugglers/Agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycao Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I remember the jet pack mount in SWG. It was crazy hard to get as you needed 20 people in a group and you had to have crafters in it as well to assemble the thing. The top republic PvP guild on our server got about every jedi master they could and crafted two of them one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandicus Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 And just to note, I didn't say this as someone whom doesn't have Rocket Boost, as I have upgraded all 3, but upgraded into a mount or even a seperate jet pack mount, still would like to see this happen. To avoid ripping off the people who bought the upgrades, how about make it upgrade #4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfarris Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 To avoid ripping off the people who bought the upgrades, how about make it upgrade #4? Becasue then it would be rideable in non mount areas, and don't want to take that from anyone. Just a seperate Jet Pack mount. Keep your boost for PVP and FP things, and have the mount for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfarris Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 To avoid ripping off the people who bought the upgrades, how about make it upgrade #4? But even I would be okay with that, because even at that, it is something other than the occassional 12s burst :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanski Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Jetpack isnt meant for long distance travel so i wouldnt want it to be used as a mount. They had them in SWG and it looked kinda lame to me. I would love to use it for limited flight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justandulas Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I approve of this idea. Not bad at all. I hope BW reads and hooks it up for BH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I bet jet packs would be popular AND perhaps we would have the added benefit of reducing some of the "standing room only" in certain areas due to people being on speeders. I don't think force users should have rocket pack ability...instead they should get force run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzel Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I remember in beta asking, "What is my jetpack for?". It's kind of silly running around while wearing a jetpack that doesn't work. The best answer I got was, "That's where you put your awesome Darth Maul lunch box and Capri Suns". So yeah... A jet pack would be awesome. We had one in SWG that was pretty cool as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zangaboing Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hey!!!! So I usually just read on the forums, and this may be the wrong place for it. But playing since beta, I just started the BH class. And since y'all are wanting feedback, making improvements, things like that. How about some kind of Jet Pack Mount? I mean yeah they have a "Rocket Boost Ability" which last like 12 seconds. But I mean a real jet pack mount, just seems it would make play all the more awesome. And heck, you could jack up the price, but I am sure people, like myself, would pay for that kind of in game option. Just my two cents, so there it is. This...actually is a pretty solid idea... And bounty hunters can finally feel like that jetpack they carry is not just for show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I loved the one in SWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culper Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I don't dislike the idea, but I think the game in general needs more mounts (that preferably don't take up a ton of space). I also think they need to look outside of vehicles for new ideas. I keep thinking of that honking lizard thing that Obi-Wan rode in Attack of the Clones (I think it was that one) but really, some more creatures would make sense too. Taun Tauns are another obvious one. But, in response to the topic: I fully support a Jet Pack mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they did or didn't doesn't make a difference, just that a BH's jetpack can be used for more than just an accessory lol. And BW could make a profit on it, put it in the Cartel Market, and there are plenty of people who would buy it I'm sure. I would the day they put it on there.
