Thats right. Thats how it would be in the movies( yeh yeh, I know, this isnt the movies, but still). In the SW universe, anyone could have a bounty placed on them for doing something wrong, not just jedi or smugglers. I say we come up with a system(no, I dont have any ideas atm) that allows for any class to be hunted by BHs if they do enough of (whatever the system dictates), inluding BHs themselves if they do this. If all classes are equal, and there is no item decay or xp loss from death, this should actualy be a fairly fun and fair system.

I agree. Believe it or notmost of us don't care about giving people exp loss. We love the thrill of the fight and the chance of a little payout. A new, optional system should be implimented.

I think it would be cool to be the hunter and the hunted. Just being overt isn't good enough. I want to be tracked. If every prof was huntable we would have 10 yr olds ruining it

i made a post like this yesterday and think its a great idea. i never did many jedi bounties before, but now that everyone will be equal and have no downside to combat/death/clone b/c of no decay then i say bounties for all.


one thing was pointed out to me, even if you come up with a system that basically makes griefing impossible you still have the money "exploit" where the mark and the bh split the cash. with now downside to dieing there is no reason people wouldn't do this left and right.


i couldnt' come up with a way for the game to prevent this myself but perhaps if we all started thinking about it we could come up with something that samous could present to the devs. something that we would all like, hinder griefing, and have as few possible exploits as possible. you never know, if samous were to present a solid idea they might just do it (not likely but there is the possibility).

I've got a way for you: forget the payout. There are plenty of ways to make money in this game. NPC missions pay. Let player missions pay nothing and only be done for the purpose of fun and content. Your weapons and armor wont decay anymore, so even if you die you wont have lost anything but time on a player mission, and win or lose you will still have had a cool fight. Player missions could also figure into some kind of BH ranking system, where you rank is determined by your mission kill count.


As far as griefing: leave the names off the terms.

hmmm, no money but instead a bh ranking system. itotally aggree, the best way to keep griefing down is no names on the terms. this might just work, all we can hope is that samous likes this too and manages to get the devs to like it.

non consensual pvp will never return...

and saying 'because you killed X number of storm troops you consented' is not valid. what will happen is pvp based missions, where one person has to do / deliver X and the other person has mission to stop them. these will be marked as PVP in big bold letters so everyone knows what to expect.

lots of people DO NOT WANT to pvp at all. ever. not in any form. forcing them to do somehting they hate in a game they pay for is not good buseness, and that's why it won't happen again. what you will get is a fully opt-in system that lets only those who wish to hunt / be hunted participate. and since pvp will no longer be decided by fotm and who has the most creds to spend on stuff, you will see a lot more ppl doing it.

the new system will be so much more fun for everyone involved.

I definetly agree. I really think it should be Straight PvP. Maybe just for all level 80 and above!

Just make the spynet guys like a factional recruiter, you have to talk to them first and choose to be placed on the BH terminal. There could be some RP element worked out, you wouldnt just walk upto someone and say hey I want bounty hunters to hunt me down like a dog. The point is make it a choice like going SF/Overt.
