they sound like good changes to me

I am not sure that some of you are thinking these changes all the way through. There is a lot of good for bounty hunters here:

Pretender/Respec BH’s will drop off, leaving more good missions for the real BH’s

Jedi’s can no longer see if they are on the terminals

Jedi’s can’t select themselves with their alt BH, or have guildmates BH’s select them, to keep the mission tied up or have the BH agreed to be killed so the mission is removed

The TEF will prevent a lot of running and hiding and result in more fights

BH’s not wanting to hunt a certain faction can avoid those missions, saving a lot of wasted time

BH’s need not lose time with offline jedi

Mission payouts will go up for some lower level Padawons: occasional easy $

On balance, I think this is good for true BH’s. Less time between dead ends, more legit targets, more likelihood of a fight that has a final result. Yes, you’re going to wind up occasionally taking a lower paying mission and fight a higher level Jedi, but that is the give/take with being a bounty hunter.

Giving a legit look at who gained what, I think the pretender Jedi’s lost too, as did those who abuse the system. Interesting how certain jedi’s names never seemed to get on the terminals…those days are gone. As are the days of running and hiding in a house. Some jedi’s that managed to avoid fights before are going to have to stand their ground now.

Pretender BH’s lose
Pretender Jedi lose
Legit BH’s gain
Legit Jedi gain

Sounds like a good deal to me.

lol i couldnt care less about anything, i just hunt and kill whoever whenever, but if they cant pull some of the stuff they did before great, ifthey make it better for jedi, thats to bad, but we should just learn to deal, or simple get 4 other bounty hunter friends and kill 'em before they can hide or run. lol

Not true. Most BHs out there have MASTER BOUNTY HUNTER for speed / accuracy / adv critical shot.

Jedi’s can no longer see if they are on the terminals

Doesnt really matter. Jedi’s can’t select themselves with their alt BH, or have guildmates BH’s select them, to keep the mission tied up or have the BH agreed to be killed so the mission is removed

Meh.

The TEF will prevent a lot of running and hiding and result in more fights

Heard the tef was reduced to 2 and a half minutes. TEF only incurrs if the jedi hits back.

BH’s not wanting to hunt a certain faction can avoid those missions, saving a lot of wasted time

Nothing in the patch notes stated that faction would be shown...I could have read wrong though

BH’s need not lose time with offline jedi

Wont show weather they're AFK / on the Ryatt trail / the miss difficulty was said to be hidden...so you could get a surprize sexing from a knight, when you were hoping for a paddy

Mission payouts will go up for some lower level Padawons: occasional easy $

yay?

Pretender Jedi lose wtf is a pretender jedi?

Also, a quote from a dev:

"Missions will only be generated if the target is online at the time, this doesnt guarantee they dont log for dinner, etc. At least you know they are online at the time of mission generation. There is also a fairly significant one in there were once the BH attacks(even if the Jedi doesn't fight back), the TEF flag is set and prevents Jedi from doing things that TEF's prevent, like entering houses."

i think the kashyyyk crap is going to severely damage the profession. at least 80% of padawan are grinding on the ryatt trail, we won't know their names, so even if we did want a more challenging hunt of finding them on kashyyyk, we can't, so any jedi can grind in peace on the rryatt trail until they're knight level. For the majority of BH, the payout ranges they can take and hope to succeed often is not 220k or higher.

Many of them respec BH'ers did nothing but hold Jedi missions anyways for their buds. So I agree it's a good fix.

I feel sorry for the kidswho invested in 5 extra accounts to store his Jedi's mission....lol

Not only that but a mission 'decays' from your data pad after 3 days.

So all these people saying theyre "Real" or "True" bounty hunters and want to stalk for days and weeks at a time are ruined. This patch has ended BHing and has brought about WP duelling.

I agree. I think the changes are good in the end of things, from my BH perspective.

The Kashyyk issues are still huge in my opinion though...If you can't track them there and you don't know their name, how in the world are you supposed to find them?

I think SOE in their infinite wisdom expects us to hit every single instanced zone run to the very end and get just close enough to see who has TEF?

ALL Jedi will be in Kash at this point.

They aren't already? On my server(I just started hunting jedi granted)the only missions I can find on non full temps are on Kash. There is no way I'm taking a full temp solo with my temp
*fixed*
....unless he's incapped already
