Bounty Hunter Archive
Thread: is your self esteem so low???
It comes down to this. The marketing department has determined that a jedi character has on average a longer subscription life than a non-jedi. So they cater to the jedi. They feel that if they make it easier to obtain and level a jedi that maybe more people will stay longer. On all the commercials jedi are shown almost exclusively and all the attention goes to the jedi profession. If they make hunting them hard, then it will be a rare occurance and that will make the majority of jedi happy.
So nevermind that other professions don't stay as long because their professions have been broken since launch....and thats the reason they leave. They only look at trends and do not see the big picture.

I have only had two marks be offline. Hit refresh a few times before you accept a mission. It will only generate missions for online Jedi. It is retarded that you don't know the name of the Mark or their level, but I have to admit I've actually killed some full templates that I would have never taken on before and it was a blast.
The good parts of the publish:
Jedi Faction
Jedi Online (not quite working as intended)
MORE Jedi Marks without refreshing.
No more greifing low level Jedi(I mean people who pick out one initiate and attack them over and over just because they don't like them).
The bad parts:
Jedi Online not working
No names on terminals
The constant BH whining is giving me a headache. Yes the offline bug is a pain but you can pick up missions at the term and check arkyd BEFORE informant (right there) and see if you have the "offline" problem, after a few tries you will get "needs bio sig" and you know you are golden. Not having the name is strange but understandable ( I guess /shrug). If you use attack parameters then it should not matter if the jedi is 60K or full temp. Yes normally if you are outside the parameters (for example you do not ahcieve surprise before the attack) you might be more inclined ot attack a 60K no matter what.
That has been the only change in my play. Now if I am outside of attack parameters, specifically:
1. Total surprise
2. Able to frontload 2000 points of damage
3. pet out and ready to go (level 69 spider)
4. fully buffed
I will NOT attack and will NOT (in all probability ) lose to a full temp. I agree that I would not have taken on some misisonsI have lately and not had the fun and the realization that you CAN beat a full temp if everything is in your favor.

Why should Jedi need 4000 Healer? Why should Jedi need 0040 Defender? Why must Jedi have 0002 Enhancer? Because without them you are handing the advantage to your opponent.
why should we need a pet?
Because you do more damage than without them.
why should we NEED to be rifles?
Because they do more damage than Carbines and Pistols
why should we be fully buffed?
Because the Jedi will be as well.
yep it was a nerf. Nota nerf in overall strength but a nerf in our ability to participate in our content...
Now they're giving us a reason to hunt NPCs....cool...But we know it's so we don't hurt their precious jedi.

that you have to come here and brag about how great you are and that you are having great success with pub 20? try being honest people or we are screwed. Pub 20 sux. this is the worst idea for BHing in the history of the game. BH are going to take a mission where they dont know the payout or the power of their mark? give me a fricken break! So far for me I have taken 20 missions, 19 of which have been full template. This is not including the 50 offline or the 50 on Kash. These were missions I was able to take from start to finish. Only thing that is good about this pub is they can no longer enter structures while teffed. That should have been fixed MONTHS AGO! this game has gone to the jedi faster then a fat kid on a big mac. FLURRY runs rampant with jedi. It's disgusting. But i digress.....If they choose to keep this head in the behind system bottom line is the BH need more power. Don't want us to group? make us stronger. Not going to tell us the name or power level of said mission? make us stronger.
I am far from asking for an "I win" situation. I am asking for a level playing field, that is all. I do not care what your template is I have never met a full template Jedi who would be afraid to fight a MBH one on one. or fight any profession for that matter one on one.
The only major flaw with Publish 20 is the Target Not Online thing -- and that's a bug that they're going to fix very soon. It doesn't matter if you don't know the target's name or level. If he's too powerful for you, you die and clone. You lose absolutely NOTHING but a chip from your ego. If you took 20 missions on full template Jedi and you couldn't kill a few of them, then you must totally suck as a bounty hunter -- or you are too poor to afford good equipment. In which case, it might actually be a good idea for you to quit the BH profession. You should of at least won a third of those missions. That's my success rate against full-templates: one-third, which is just about the correct rate it should be.
I read whiny BH's like you complain aboutit being impossible to killfull template Jedi, then I look at the pictures in the link of my .sig and wonder what the heck you guys are talking about. Get the right equipment. Get the right skills. And stop thinking that ego comes from a video game.

your missing one large pointjedi are allowed to participate in the greatest thing this game has to offer ... template dabbling...
BH now have to take master BH ... as well as a choice between only two other MASTERS to be effective at our own professions end game content ...those other two masters are CM and rifleman ... allocation of skillpoints to anything else would be wastefull and be weak ... the abilites you refer toare all non master half or 3/4 single tier abilities .. which are from a collection ofdifferent jedi "professions"....
