I think if a mission is taken on a jedi, The BH should have a Overt status.. So they can't follow you around while you are leveling and wait til you are Dizzy knockdown or something.. To finally use there TEF/Mission to open up fire on you.. My favorite is the BH takes out your Bike and you can't stop it because bikes are 1 hit and are disabled. So you can't even defend your selves usually until it is to late.. Or you can sit there with a standoff and waste your play time because of some JACKARSE bounty hunter thinks it's funny to just follow you around until the right momment as you are leveling....
Maybe it's me but if I knew some BH was after me I should not have to wait for him/her to fire first...

I suggest a Jedi Mission terminal for BH's, Let us give justice to either faction. I am sure Yoda gave OB1 a mission to track down a Bounty Hunter named Jangofette..

Lol at Phhantom!

First: you are in the wrong forum man. If Jedis in their forum are asked, what should be better in their proffesion i surly will not post: Nerf Saberblock, because i cant hit them!

Second: Jedi Mission Terminals? Are you kidding? Jedi's should be rare and hiding in this time period. I am sure Yoda is hiding
on some backwater planet and has nightmares about what will happen if Lord Vader finds him!

Hi Tiggs!
Thank you for coming here and post!

I havent seen a red name on bh forum for....well honestly never (or it was not construcktive/informative and i forgot about it the moment i did read it).

And thats my Number one issue:
More Info/Conversation with the Team at SOE. Tanks does a great Job, but i often think he gets ignored as well.

Now for my Gaming issues:
- every new Jedi Publish/Jedi improvment createt new bugs with our Proffesion. Publish 10 got us broken again, and i was eager to hunt all those newb Jedis!

- we should be high offence/low defence...we are low offence, low defence
please let us either be high/low or med/med. We cannot compete with any other class right now (and im not talking combat classes only!)

- mission payout....bh's do it for the money...but not in swg...i would have to earn money to do my "Job".



And thanks for asking!
Hope to read a summary of what you have learned about this proffesion, soon.

I would like to say thanks for entering the Trolls Den, and i hope you just didnt post this and will never look at it again!

I personly would like to see the weapon swith delay gone, it ruined us Bounty Hunters offencive we are forced to use only 1 weapon cause if we change the few very important seconds of combat will be lost! You need to be quick in real extream PvP to stand a chance, and i belive we a Bounty Hunters need this delay removed cause we focus our skills on three diffrent weapon classes (Carbine, Pistol, Heavy Weapon)!

We need to be able to land states with one weapon and continue fighing with another weapon, in my case i use to fire a few shots with my Carbine then switch to my Pistol for damage! Others might start out with some Pistol DOTs like /torsoShot and then use their Carbine but that up do the hunter.

But we need to be able to fight this was cause at the moment we cant, if i try to switch in PvP it will mean defeat. Those seconds we lose cause we need to switch will cost us dearly in battle! I understad you had to add a switch for people who used to apply tons of diffrent DOTs with diffrent weapons.

(exaple: a known issue was a Pikeman having a macro that made him switch between 5-10 diffrent Dot Lances and when most of the DOTs land its one tick and you would die! But this isnt the case for Bounty Hunters, we need to be able to switch between diffrent weapons in combat. Cause we specialize in diffrent weapons. A Pikeman uses only his pikes/poles in combat, a fencer only use their 1-Handed swords/batons etc..

I have another thing i would like to see, as many other i would like other Player bounties then only Jedi. This would make life more fun for the Smugglers and other "criminal" professions, another thing would be nice to let people give out player bounties on who ever they like at a high cost. We dont want to flood the terminals with little bounties!

Last but not least, WE NEED MORE THEN 15.000 Credits DOING A JEDI MISSION! One of the things that will stop the exploiting would be giving Jedi some kind off loss if the get killed more then 3 times in a 5 hour periode. This would force Jedi to be more carefull if they get hunted once and if they are unlucky and more Bounty Hunters come for them they wouldnt face the HIGH LOSS, but to make it fair for a Jedi you need to fiks the TEF issues we have.

PS: One more thing i would like to see is that our specials for controlling states should be as the once were. They should be able to force a TKM to kneel or be able to Knock Down a Fencer (not if they eat food) they states need to be able to stick for a periode of time. This will not over power us cause we have no real defences in the Bounty Hunter profession!

Now please read this and think about it.. We BH´s need to be fiksed, and another important thing is the Jedi Block against ranged weapons! But im sure there are many people who have given a detailed descripion of that issue!

Have a nice day

Number 1 is by far the CL10 issue. They are pretty much the only pets I concentrate on since there are so few CHs.

Sampling needs to fail less and everything should be able to be sampled.

Might as well just remove crit fails from creature crafting if we keep the DNA on a fail (what would we really lose on a fail if we keep the DNA?). At master a fail should definately not happen as much as it does.

As for tissues, what if they were more like powerups/tapes? Move the use to the end user and our customer base just got a lot more diverse and we could sell tissues in small quantities. We could create some that go into armor and some in clothing and thus have a greater use for them. Let us have some tissues for medical items, we do have med crafting as part of our template after all.

We should be able to buff pets like docs buff players. It could be like a music buff and be based on the stats. 100-150% on a pets HAM for 3 hours at a time and suddenly we're popular and so are pets.

What's important to me?

That you keep up regular conversations with Tanks. He's proven that he has a feel for what concerns us and he's proven he is aware of all issues concerning BH's.

My request is that you take advantage of Tanks knowledege of this profession, his position as correspondent and his professional attitude and pick his brain.

Since I am the new kid on the block I would like to take a little survey to see what you feel is the most pressing issue with your profession right now. Wait! Don't post just yet, seriously think about this for a moment and post what "you" feel is important, not what you think the overall class feels is important. (Flamers, trolls need not reply).

• First off, I admire your desire to come out and ask. I hope that you don't get to frustrated to quickly, there are many flamers and trolls here.So bare with us as there are a lot of good, fair, and open minded players here. You just have to look hard to find them.

There are no promises being made that you will see immediate changes implemented. This is simply to gauge what you feel is important so that I can discuss this further with the team. I am going through a few professions at a time so if you don't see this post in another forum you participate in, do not worry. I will get to the other forums in due time

• OK, here are my thoughts on what the major issues are with the profession




1. Not enough Offensive Firepower and / or Accuracy




• Our specials (KD, Dizzy,Torso, Eye-shot)are GREAT, but hardly hit. A Bounty Hunter's strength is their ability to"Control the Target" but the higher defenses of the other professions (coupled with our low accuracy stats) renders the specials ineffective. This is particularlly the case with Jedi's (sabre block) andProfessions that havehigh dodge stats.


• TheBounty Hunter professionis suppose to be really good at "One on One" combat, which you would think would makeus one of the best in PvP Duels. A Bounty Hunter is not suppose tobe as effective in a group fight (verse multiple targets).


• As it stands now, Bounty Hunters are weak in both PvP solo and group fights. Why? Well the major reason is that the defenses are WAY to high for theother professions and that makes them to hard to hit.This is a major problem because the BH defenses (even with the increased ability to dabble) are weak and we end up getting hit at a much higher rate then we can hit.


• Result, we LOSE fights we should be winning.


2. Player Bounties are a must! (and not just for the Bounty Hunter)




• Jedi missionsare a great start, but given the current state, a Ranged Bounty Hunter doesn't stand a chance against a Jedi once they get Sabre Block.


• It seems to me that there should be an easy way to included Smuggler Bounties, Faction Bounties, and other thypes of bounties that provide the profession more content and at the same time, give other professions more content.




• The system would be based on the other professions taking specific missions (ie thier new content). If they fail the mission, the bounty would be issued (our content), if they pass then they get thier reward.


• The advantage is that it is a voluntary system and provides content for many professions


3. Being a "Master" of a professions should mean more!




• I think this is an issue for ALL professions. Right now, the "dabbler" has the advantage as they can get all the good pieces of different professions. This has led to MAJOR NERFS and UBER TEMPLATES, all of which has led to a "disincentive" to master a profession.


• Form the Bounty Hunter point of view, you are actually MORE effective in Jedi Missions if you go 3-0-0-0 Bounty Hunter and pick up a Melee profession.




• Does that seem right to you? One would think that a "Master Bounty Hunter" should be a MUCH formitable opponent they a Novice Bounty Hunter.


• As it stands now, you are penialized for training in the Weapon Trees of the Bounty Hunter because the specials (while really good) are all blocked by the Jedi (via Sabre Block).


• I think the solution is that instead of stacking ALL the Defense stats in one tree, spread them out accross ALL the trees and do the same for the specials and offensive stats. Also, add some HUGE mods to the MASTER box, this provides an incentive to master the profession, rather then just taking one tree.

Thanks in advancefor taking the time out to do this.

• Thank you for taking the time to visit us

Important to me:

Fix what is broken, before adding new features to Bounty hunter.
