One issuethat seemsodd is that you get rewardedin fullfor killing marks without carrying out the client's request to the letter. I still seem to get the bounty even if I don't say "I'm sending you to meet your old Vigo" or whatever. It'd be cool if you could /tell NPCs the message but I guess that's another matter. I guess a /say would be enough if you're in range for combat with the mark.

#1 distinguish us from other professions in terms of specials being more geared towards PvP. There are a few GREAT PvP templates out there that combine professions, use less skill points and kick our butts.

#2 Make MBH mean more. I.E. added defence vs melee, exclusive armors, player bounties, LLC bonuses, another weapon perhaps.

#3 Other player bounties. There have been a few really good posts on this lately.

#4 Increase to rifle abilities and a special or two somewhere in the tree. Same with scout. This of course will need to be seperate from bonuses granted in Rifleman and Ranger professions.

#5 Fix the many exploits that Jedi can use to avoid combat when they hit the terminals. Sure it takes forever to get a jedi character. But if you show off you pay the price. Most wont even stay for a hit or two.....

I'm fairly new to the game and the BH profession, so forgive me for not being up to speed with the details...

However, having read a number of these entries, I'm a bit concerned about my decision to become a BH.

From a newbie standpoint...there are two major issues...Time Investment and Game Realism

First, Time Investment: Myself and four friends started Galaxies at roughly the same time. I'm the only who chose to go BH. While they scooted up a single line of one of the profession trees to master Tera Kasi, Pistoleer, and Carbineer (My fourth friend is going Ranger, so he at least had to master Scout), I was left to master all of Marksman and a line of Scout. With that complete, I'm now painstakingly working my way up BH and that nasty Investigation column. I keep telling myself, as I jealously watch my friends reach Master in their Elite professions with plenty of skill points left for other Elite professions, is that the developers wouldn't make BH this difficult if the payoff wasn't great. I figured that once I reach Master BH, I'll be unstoppable by all but Jedi. I'm learning quickly from this forum that I'm wrong.

Time investment should equal payoff. That's true of life, so why not here? Yougraduate high-school and become a janitor, you get$30,000 a year. You go to med school and become a doctor, you get $300,000 a year. My friends who scooted up those single line professions should be no match for a Master BH. My one friend who invested thetime to master Scout and eventually master Ranger shouldbe tough, but given that I mastered a portion of Scout, BH should still have aslight edge. Simple math the way I see it. The more columns you fill to reach an Elite profession, the tougher that profession should be. The Tera Kasi master that seems to dominate the particular galaxy I'm in should be no match for a Master BH. A Ranger should be a tougher fight with the edge going to the BH, and a Commando on equal ground. Am I missing the point here?

Second item is Game Realism. In the movies, jedi were dispatched in three ways: opposing jedi, insurmountable odds (an army of Trade Federation droids) and Bounty Hunters. That's the allure of the profession. The dark, mysterious underworld of Bounty Hunting. The BH profession should be as unique and separate from general players as the Jedi, but just as formidable in battle should the occasion arise. If you want to stay in line with the realism of the Star Wars movies, then I agree with those on here that have said that BH should not be able to choose a faction amongst Rebel or Imperial. We go to the highest bidder. If one chooses to take their skills to the Alliance or Empire, they should have their title changed to Assassin and be removed from the BH guild. Boba Fett worked for Darth Vader on a single bounty. He did not have allegiance to the Empire.

In the end, Jango and Boba, the most famous of the Star Wars Bounty Hunters were killed. Jango by a Master Jedi and Boba by a freak accident. Given that to go on, a Master BH should be on equal ground with a Jedi Knight and at a slight disadvantage to a Jedi Master. (Does everyone recall the great fight sequence between Obi Wan and Jango on the station platform?) This goes back to time investment. It should take as much effort to become a Master BH as it does a Jedi Knight (Jedi Master taking even longer) and the rewards should be equal. Both should be able to walk amongst the Star Wars world recognized as formidable adversaries not to be challenged without numbers (four or five Tera Kasi masters) or equal to near-equal training (Jedi, Commando or Ranger). If the Tera Kasi, Pistoleer, and similar Master Elite professions have a problem with being so easily dispatched by a BH or a Jedi, then they should choose a combat-related profession that requires more investment.

Please tell me someone is addressing these issues because I'll gladly turn in my BH Guild cardand become the thousandth Tera Kasi Master on Shadowfire if I'm wasting my time...

1. Duel Wielding= Player can use more then 1 pistol like jango fett has to be Master Bounty Hunter and Master Pistoleer.

2. Enhanced Carbine or EE-3 Enhanced like Boba Fett's only for Bounty Hunters

3. Humanoid and NPC traps and Poison Darts to use in PVP. Maybe Grappling Hooks and Saber Darts .

4. Fix the Specials : Fast Blast a waste of time midest use Fan Shot or Torso Shot. Fire Knock Down definitly add fire to the effect of the knock down of a target. LLC = useless weapon!.

5. Targets should be able to be tracked even if they do go off-line.Give us the ability to get by security doors that keep the jedi safe from us Bounty Hunters . MAKE SMUGGLERS ! Huntable . Whats the thrill of slicing with out a lil chase to stir things up in the underworld heheh . Make Player Buildings no longer safe for Jedi to hide in. Im tired of having my Jedi run into some building and log out.

Jedi should be huntable at Invest 3 ..... Suppose to Encourage and challenge are Bounty Hunters .

I just started BH novice today and I have not a clue what the hell I'm supposed to do....Iwent to the BH mission terminal got a mission and have no idea what to do next....HELP ME plz...playcone

1) Let us hit stuff again or give us deffence, as of now we have niether.

2) Player Bounties need to be implemented beyond jedi.

3) Make our attacks with the carbine mean some thing or replace them with ones that wont be nerfed in the very next publish.

4) Make bounty hunting worth it. Since matering BH I havn't hunted cause it just isn't profitable I can make more doing other things.

5) Make rifle relavant is some way. Perhapse reclassifying the llc as a rifle so we can implement the bonuses from marksmen.
