Venting some steam here:-

(i) not being able to track your targets on Kashyyyk must be the mad dream of some game developer with authority. Providing a safe haven for Jedi is ridiculous and I suspect nothing more than a marketing decision to sell more copies of an expansion ie. if you wanna safely grind your new jedi then buy the new expansion.

(ii) I've spent way too much time trying to get through the six instances of the Ryatt Trails only to find my jedi isnt even there...far more time than is warranted in this game for a quest conclusion

(iii) next, and Ive heard rumour this exploit will be fixed soon....when you find your jedi on the ryatt trail, you fight them and when they are about to lose they jump onto the bridge near the feral wookies so you cant see them as a target...what a joke!!!

(iv) not being able to know the name of your target encourages AFK jedi ie. the chance of getting hunted now way less than before.

Congratulations SOE on rebalancing the game to suit jedi!!!

And yes I do have my ownjedi.

Spoken like Jedi are something special now. Last I checked they were nerfed into oblivion. So what if it's hard for a BH to hunt them on Kashyyyk. I guess that BH's will just have to be better at their profession. This is an online game, talk to other players, set up a network of "Spies" that can report the locations of your marks. But stop whining about it in the forums.

The "No Droids" rule should not stop you, just force you to be more creative.

Well, it's apparent someone isn't familiar with the new BH system .

Welcome to publish 20, we dont get names for Jedi on kash. How can we set up a network of spies? And yes, Jedi were nerfed. So was their grind, perma death, box loss, XP loss in pve etc. they are only 1.5 better than everyone else now.

If a jedi were truely 1.5 time more powerfull, BH's would not stand a chance. But I read stories here about BH killing Knights, does that tell you that jedi are uber??

OMG YOU ARE RIGHT! wow, right on the money! obviously skill never plays a factor in this game.

---

Exactly, skill and surprise factor have absolutely nothing to do with being good at PVP. Neither does picking the right moment.

/endsarcasm

I feel sorry for you if your hunting me on kash. There are many missions there and lately I've been in the caves, amazing the loot you can get there.

Don't assume all Jedi on Kash are afk grinding.

I predict in time only full templates will be on the terms since they can defend themselves and don't worry about death as much. I may go so far as to say that only Jedi that 'want' to be on the terms will. I want to be on the terms, don't care about dying, and love to pvp.

Bounty Hunting on wookiee world presents an interesting issue. It's time consuming, and potentially frustrating, but there's also the chance of scoring a really easy pay-off. You can be relatively certain where the jedi are hiding on wookiee world, so just grab some parwan nutricake and head to the ryatt trail. It only takes about 30 minutes to check every instance, and odds are, you won't need to check them all to find your mark. Once you do find your mark, the only real drawback is the LOS exploit. Other than that, it's win win for a BH. Either your mark is AFK and you get paid quickly and move on to hunting someone else; or you get a fight where it is rather difficult for your jedi to escape, which isexactly what you want.

I ignored the LOS exploit because it's precisely that, an exploit. If your mark uses it, report them. It may not accomplish anything, but I look at it like this, if they have to cheat to beat me, it's as good as a win. It just means they are useless, childish players, and in all likelihood, you'll be able to beat them later once they complete their template. They won't have any PvP experience, but they'll be looking for a fight because they think their template makes them uber. That's an even better time to kill them, it pays better

Speaking of hunting Jedi on wookiee world, hey cayla *wave* (Cayla's one of the good jedi, no exploiting, just gave me a good fight )

how does taking away xp loss in pve and taking away perma death for jedi equal 1.5 times better than everyone else? just makes them equal to everyone else, i dont see other character's getting perma death, lol.

In any case.......Yeah I understand why people would go on about not being able to use seeker droids on kashyyyk, but heres how i look at it, kashyyyk is supposed to be a huge tree planet where the further down you get the more deadly creatures there are....so if your target's in the shadowlands, chances are more often than not, your droid wont reach the target. I can understand if the target was at higher levels then the seeker droid would probably find the mark, that im not debating at all. But for those who dont like the fact that seeker droids cannot be used on kashyyyk.........your droid wouldnt exactly come back with " is currently in Myyydril caves fighting Necrosis". I agree that now you have to be creative and find your target, kinda gives bounty hunting some actual hunting instead of Take mission, go to spynet op, send arakyd, travel, send seeker droid, travel, send seeker droid, travel, receive update on location, travel, attack target.
