You mean more fun for Bounty Hunter. Not all of us like to play a game where we can kill everying in just a few hits. I still think the NPC'sare kinda weak. they were alot better / funner in beta when they would use duelist stance and CoB at the same time.


What is the fun in doing a missions when youallready know the outcome. I want a chance to die doing the bounty hunter missions.Fun is defeating something that has 90% chance of sending you to the cloner not something that can be killed running a AFK macro like we had before.

I welcome this change and agree that the marks were ALL too easy. I've only been incapped by 1 since they revamped the missions and that was the first boss I fought. The only reason he took me down was because I wasn't prepared (at all...no food, junk gun, assault armor without a psg and he washitting with energy). When I pick a mission, I am wondering what kind of loot I'm gonna get when (not if) I kill my mark. Now, there's the possibility of the stingy marks actually keeping their loot...or bugs, and sending me to the cloner for a change. I'm all for it. Back in the day, it was actually hard or impossible to solo any high end content (it was called "end-game" content back then). Now everyone'sused to this pansy versionand they're about to geta wake up call.

Since the silently patched the loot for BH missions a week or so ago...what the heck is the point of doin these missions?

The cash is crap, the loot is Warm hat's and Foraged Bugs or Smuggler stuff.

Who the hell was crying about the weaponsmith loot dropping too much? I hope they have been shot, because out of 52 missions in 2.5 daysI have not seen a WS part yet. And only 1 sea, and 2 crystals. This is Way Way lower than it used to be.

I kill Jedi now just to take out my frustrations...I don't even like hunting jedi.


Now with this Double elites being this insane...what is the point?

What was the point in giving us uber loot killing easy bounties. If they make the bounties harder and nearly impossible to kill then there is a point to argue to them for allowing better loot. you dont get good loot killing easy to kill mummer thugs and plasma thieves outside of kaadara why should you get good loot from easy bounty hunter missions.

52 missions in 2.5 days? You've been hustling. But, in the last 200 missions, I've only looted 3 SEA's, smuggler gear and schematics. The market was getting flooded so they lowered the drop rate...they didn't remove the WS components from the loot table. Another change that I'm glad they made. The prices really didn't drop for attachments anyway. Now there's tons sitting on vendors for millions that won't sell because everyone already has them or they decided to go BH to get them. Again, I'm going to reference days long forgotten when all you got was a tiny bit of credits and an average weapon if you were lucky.


If you're not happy with what we still get and you now have to work for...grind out another temp. I'm not sure if BH is going to be FOTM anymore so I hope those that are whining about not getting their payday saved their token respec (more than likely it was used to get MBH though). I hear SL still has some openings available.

How does this make the game more fun for a Jedi?

I think the crafters that used there respec token to go mbh for the easy loot are going to be grinding a new template soon

I dont know what was different about your mission sly, but mine hit me for 500-1500 per hit, and I couldnt get more thatn 5k off his health bar. mabey each mis differs in difficulty, but I would pay dearly to see anybody go up against the one I fought this morning and not go to the cloners. I have a top notch rifle and foods and gear, so there's nothing I'm lacking to take this guy down, but he was literally unbeatable by one person. I've soloed a lot of different npc char, LOTS of cl 88 black suns, DJK's, krayts, gorax,and nothing was even comparable to this guy. I just cant wait to get back to the bunker and see how even the best of players cant get through...

I have noticed that the marks have recently developed atendency to move in and use melee weapons on me. I don't mind this as I use Composite armor, but out of the couple marks I have faced recently, all have rapidly advanced on me switching from rifle/carbs, to pistols (rooted), then to melee weapons. This is different than what I'm used to but I haven't been KO'd yet <knock knock on some wood>

As always this depends on your template. Many Bounty Hunters have switched to Master Combat Medic because it works good against jedi. Guess what ? This is probably one of the worst templates for PVE. Unless you got lots of tapes, your accuracy and speed for your weapon will be sh*t.And unlike jedi, NPC's never run out of action or mind.I took many of these out with MBH/MPISTOLEER CM 4000. Use synth steak to mitigate the damage and a droid to add additional attacks.



And if I read one more post about someone complaining of their template not working with some aspect of this game I will puke. There is no one template that can be the be all and end all of this game.That's how you create balance.

you're probably lacking in the skill department.
