Bounty Hunter Archive

I was reading the back of book one of the bounty hunter wars when an Idea hit me like 1 million lightsabers.
heres what I read. As the rebelion gathers forve prince Xizor proposes a cunning plan to the emperor and darth vader. smsh the oiwer if the bounty hunter guild by turning its members against eachother. Only the strongest will survive. that gave me an idea why not give the bounty hunter wars in swg when all bounty hunters are tefd like a guildwar. and it could be a monthly thing those that participate. can get a firespray holoram. and i could posibly get a bgger reward if you get 100 kills you can get a house decoration an exact model of boba fetts helmet not wearable. just a decoration

this is a good idea, since some of the best bh's in the books/movies that we know of (boba, jango) actually eliminated the competition quite constantly to be able to stay on top.

heres my idea: allow bh's to take missions on other bh(masters only) - the best wins. Consenquences for losing: loss of xp and the master box, or enough xp just to lose the master box, and losing a BHRS (bounty hunter ranking system) point, having to regrind to stay in the profession. Bonus for winning: large mission payout, similar to jedi payouts and a point in the BHRS (bounty hunter ranking system. After getting, say, 20-40 points you recieve a nice reward. Thinking up a good reward is tough, throw some out there if you have a good idea, but i think having some luck points (2 or 4)for it would be cool, or something rare, such as an extremely rare uber rifle, or maybe to be able to take missions from the emporer or vader himself against famous bounty marks. But its hard to think up a good reward off the top of my head.

i know this will prolly never happen, SOE cant even fix past problems in the game, and with every patch, they introduce more and more problems/bugs, but it sounds like a good fun idea, and im interested to hear what others have to say

i like the idea of a BHRS but i dont know about skill loss. perhaps make hte points usuable for rewards, so if u lose points from dieing it only hurts ur ability to get rewards.

but on the whole, i'd rather the dev's fix the current bugs than make a new content system for us.

lol, of course you wouldnt want skill loss...how do ya think jedis feel when they dont have a choice but to loose xp from a bh death, but of course, most bhs are bhs because it is a win/win proff....really, bh gets pretty boring, having no way to really loose anything, i mean, if we lose to a jedi, nothing happens, big deal, we lost to a npc, nothing, hell we can even stil go after teh npc, no mission drop, lol, the npc doesnt move, nothing....if a bh can crate a loss in xp in another profession, then a bh should be able to lose xp....besides, jedi is the toughest xp to come by and i think there should be a way for careless, crappy bh's to be weeded out of the master bh proff, rather than have it be once you make it to mbh, you stay there for as long as you like.

and i agree they should fix the broken stuff, but this would be cool, and everyone knows that they never really fix stuff, just add a bunch of other things...so this is prolly more feasable* than any "fixes" are..

* = 1/100000000 chance

I was thinking this as a reward the model of bobas head as a house decoration and the firespray hologram or heres another reward. for every say 50 kills wheather its a bh that hunted you or a bh you are hunting you get a respec. like if you get 50 kills that will tell you a system mesage go to boba fett if you want a respec. then you can go talk to boba fett and he will say hmm you have proven yourself in the bounty hunter wars perhaps you want to change your profesion style if you say yes youll get a respec option. and basicaly bounty hunters hunting bounty hunters all mbhs will be on the terms. and you can fight them. if you loose you loose you loose 1 kill on your kill sheet. and youll also get credits equal to jedi hunting.

heres another idea for a reward a player event perk called a sarlac it acts like any sarlac on the pois but its permeneant that way bhs could place it at their towns.

or be granted the title mandolarian bounty hunter. after say 100 jedi and 100 bh kills.

heres a reward idea if you make 20 kills jangos famouse weastar pistol

Perhaps we should let other professions have some time instead of having all the attention be put on BH and Jedi.

an interesting addition to the idea of how to implement BH vs BH would be...

Currently up to 5 BH'ers can get a mission on the same Jedi. If you want it to play out as "eliminating the competition" then make it so not only can you get the Jedi TEF as it is now, but the other BH'ers with the same mission would get a TEF towards each other. This way it's not just willy nilly all BH'ers have fair game on each other.

Currently it's rare that the 5 BH'ers cross paths. Leave that as is. This way it's a chance encounter and doesn't become a griefing tool that could be exploited against the BH community. Jedi vs BH stays the same, the only addition is that when you cross paths with your mark, if another BH is there you can take him out as well.

Just a thought

nah just scrap all those ideas and let us hunt dancers and call it The Booty Hunter Wars. (sorry I'm bored). I do like the idea of being able to take out a BH that is after my mark. It would make things interesting

well true this can be exploited heres a better idea it will be risk vs reward. If you loose 1/4 of your total credits on you and in the bank. so if a bh comes after the other bh if the bh with the mission looses the other guy can loot. and the bh that the bh is hunting can loot. I also really dought it will be easy to male 100 kills if you loose a kill for everytime your killed
