Bounty Hunter Archive

This was back when I had riflemen 4400....now I have 4000 cm in it's place with Master Pistoleer.

I waited in cover for 2 hours for a mark outside his house. Luckly no one broke my cover. I know he looked for anyone outside but then I rooted him and gunned him down. He actually pulled out his t-21 and started shooting back but at that time my ranged defense was over 300 without any food or defense stance...and with 8100 energy ubese he couldn't hurt me.

I don't think of it as "extreme" but it was the funniest...

I logged in the other night to find a Rebel Jedi killing stormtroopers out front the of the starport in Kaadara.

Y'know... just on the other side of a low brick wall from 2 BH terminals?

So I casually stroll over to the terminal, pull up his 225k mission (only 3 refreshes). Equip my armor, eat, drink, spice-up, and put a fresh pup on my carbine. Walk past the Jedi toward the center of town and open up on him.

He ignores me for a few seconds, then chases me through the center of town, agroing almost all the Imperial NPC's wandering in the city. I incap him, /deathblow, /bow and walk off to count my money.

ALMOST2 MINUTES LATER, I get the first of the tells. He was lagging so badly, after agroing the whole city, that he hadn't even realized he was dead.

I have GOT to set up my video camera one of these days...

Before JTL, I had been following this mark across 2-3 planets until he went to Lok. Which is good and bad.

Good - There is only 1 way off the planet.

Bad - I am banned from every player city on the planet. And he may be going there to log.

So, I see he is at a player city that really really doesn't like me, about 6km from the starport. He is movin around a lil bit, so I assume he isn't going to be loggin, for at least a few minutes.

I hop on my speeder and get down there. By the time I reach the town, he had stopped moving for a minute or two, in some structure.

Without getting close enough for anyone to see me on radar, I settle into a public structure and begin my wait.

After 20 minutes or so, I see him dart straight for the shuttleport. Knowing if he got there, I'd have no time to ride back to the starport to catch him, I go for it; but too late, he already boarded, and just then my seeker lost track of him.

So I hop on my bike, head out of town, launch an arakyd and ride towards the starport kinda angry.

Well my arakyd updates eventually, and his wp is at the starport. Strange I think, and send a seeker. The seeker begins updating that he is still at the starport, still not moving.

I am closing in on the starport finally, and he still hasn't moved.

I am about 50m from the starport, so I store my bike, tab him, see he is running into the building to buy a ticket; unbuffed! Hit burst run, get inside, torso shot, bleeing shot, db.

It turns out his comp was just so slow, that I actually had time to ride the 6200 m from his town to the starport and catch him RIGHT WHEN HE LOADED IN.

The timing couldn't have been any better. I have a bunch more, but this one just came to mind for some reason.

so a week or so ago I track this 225kjedi down to a house...i'm lying in wait under cover 70m away. He comes out with a buddy that hop into a two seater and take off...he's got def macro's running so i decide to hold my fire. I track him back to his city and he goes into the cantina. I cover 200m away and crawl into range. I see hes moving around so i wait. He stops moving for about 5 min...i cont. to wait. He then starts moving around some more and walks 5m outside to the cantina porch. I eat my food, use advanced aim, advance sniper, underhand, crit, head and he's incapped. As im making my way to him i incap him once more and get the DB

So a couple min later he sends me a tell saying he wants to duel cuz he was AFK. After argueing a couple min as to why he would walk outside a perfectly safe cantina and immediatley go AFK...i finally gave up trying to get him outta his lie.

Week later i pull his mission again. Hes pvp'n with a hugge group trying to take a S.F. base of my faction. I see him down on health so i attack...he heals up and we got at it and he incaps me...40 freakin second incap timer. So i'm lying incaped...he has plenty of time to db but it seems he wants to triple cap me. I stand up, underhand and fill up on ruby and stimpacks and make it for the base. It's a S.F. base and i'mon leaveso i just wait near the door and try to recover..he also runs off to recover a bit. He eventually comes back for another round and as we are fighting...a couple cl88 rebel npc's come out and help me finish the job...

Me: "that's what you get for trying to triple cap me"
his friend: "Yeah..i told him he shoulda just db'd"

2 - 0

I did a leasurely strole through a sandstorm once, very dramatic. Knowing I was less than 100m away from my quarry/mark.

The jedi was there dueling another, practicing having fun etc. Seeing first his speeder lil ways down in a small valley (typicall tatooine like landscape)I toasted it with a single ranged crit hit shot. Sand storm raging he didn't notice still engrossed in his fight. He wasn't far from mos Eisley so the odd person would drive up a watch a lil while then go on,and with loads of bantha nearbymy blip on the radar was coeverd long enough.

I put my bomb droid under the bike.

Got a nice spot and used take cover. He finished his duel about 10 minutes later, And for some reason did a bow said his good byes, and instead of heal up etc (having been justincapped and lost), said it's getting late I better go. sand storm gone now so perfect visability. he walked up to his bike slowly wondering hwat had gone on,

now you'd think things would be pretty obvious at this point. But no, he decides that-

Clearly..near by valarians did it that had of coursechased him earlier, leaving the bike out after that damage it must have just blown (i'm not even sure an engine had blown when I spotted it). My mse bomb droid sat under it bleeping innocently...

well the most funny hunt i ever did was when i tracked a fulltemp jedi to myrrdilcave on khasyyyk.. it was me and a guildi.. we looked in all instanses and found him (used a findmacro) looking on the overhead map and noticed he was in queens chamber..and for some reason he was retreting back towards us and the village..so basicly me and my m8 stod side by side garding the bridge..and our mark was runing chased by 15 spiders (rofl) and when he was trying to get over the bridge to lose agro we used a rootattack on him..hehe all spiders incaped him and all we have to do was a db and collect money...u shoud have seen it..it was so sweet lol

delmos delmondo +30kills

Hmm...

well once I got a jedi's mission and did a /who on instance 6 and his named showed up. I couldnt find him (this was before i knew that /who was seperate with evens and odds) and sent him a tell and he became my best friend. he gave me a tour of his house (very nice acually) and i asked him if he wanted to grind. he said yes and we went to the rryatt trail to the webweavers path. he went first and got incapped by aggros, got up, incapped again. then when he got up for the last time i shot him once and got the bounty. pretty funny how it turned out.

eh...my best would probably be 4 shotting a 217k grinding fp in anchorhead. He was just spamming attacks on the stormy npc, i snipered, he said crap bh but with all the red dots couldnt find me, critical/head/critical and he was incapped...he told me after he only had nov healer and that i was a dirty factionhating imp lover. not very extreme but whatever i was very amused.

Back in the days of gtef, I found my 148k mark grinding on dantooine.

Being in a group with only 1 other jedi, I attacked.

WELL

In order to type less, I will just say:

45 minutes later there was a dead tkm, a dead cm, a dead doctor and two dead jedi - and a dead at-st belonging to the mark.

It was one hell of a rush, and probably my best hunt ever.

Master bh - master pistols with some bit of medic in there.

A jedi on our server used to get his kicks trying to kill lone bh back in the days of the gtef on bounties. He would intentionally stay on the terminals at low bounties back then where a terminal presence for a non knight meant instant death. He used to grind next to a lake, with a safe house nearby. His tactic was like this .....

he would allow the bh to come up to him and attack, then run/swim on out to the middle of the lake. Inside his safe house were his 5 mates (god knows what lives they had sitting in this house all night feeding his ego) who would come running on out and gank the poor bh, leaving him incapped for mr big to swim out of his bathing pond, to get the db.

I was showing a mate of mine how to bh, not actually a bh at the time (the only 3 month period on game when i wasnt), but a serious melee def stacker tooled up with all the required mind fire lanced nastiness, and a pretty evil PH to go with it. I wasnt planning on joining in the fight, just observing and calling out advice to my mate over TS, to ease him into the prof. Had no idea about this jedi's little set up at the time, and events kind of followed like this - my mate shoots the jedi, who hits back once, then shoots off into the lake like a hovercraft. His bunch of thugs come charging out of his house, and start in on my mate. I slap an area dizzy, areaposture downcombo out with my mind fire pike (always overt, always equipped ........the bad old days of dot mania) 5 guys all get the dizzy, AND the kd, AND the dot stick on them. A move round the circle, headhit 3, headhit 3, db db, tralalala, and kill all five in about20 secs, unable to believe my luck, and chuckling to myself. Meanwhile, my bud has dusted himself off, called his ATST, which wades out into the lake, incaps the jedi, he calls out his dewie, rides outto him, and db's.

But no, the fun doesnt stop here, for his crappy tactics, we decide to hang about, as sometimes the bh tef sticks after death. Sure enough, we go 300m away, wait 5 mins, wander back to find a doc has dragged him in, and is busy rezzing mr tough. oh dear, tef still there, this time he gets dropped before he knows whats happening, db'd again (back when the xp loss hit even if you didnt die to a bh mission) while I make a pretty decoration out of the poor doc who tried to keep the jedi healed., involving more dots than a doc can shake a healy stick at. To add insult to injury, my mate then blew up the docs medical droid with a bomb droid. I dont know if I've ever had a more amusing kill, the old Gtefs used to lead to some hilarious mass battles as more and more got invited to each side, but this one was particularly sweet due to the way their intended gank was reversed.

CU is still better tho .....
