Bounty Hunter Archive

OK I saw this idea, in another post I think it is in the Smugglers Next Target post???

But essentially, what if you could recieve a bounty on a Bounty Hunter which has failed to eliminate the target. The spynet could be angry at the failed BH, or perhaps a new operations host could come in. This happens all the time, I just dont have any Star Wars refrences, but still, It probably happens in real life lol!!! But more importantly, it would force Bounty Hunters to actual play 110%, because if they run the risk of being hunted they are in trouble. Also, Jedi might reconsider running away, if they could not be bothered to fight...

I realize that there would bealot of ways to expolit, but overall this could actualy make the game a bit more intresting!!!

Please discuss, you dont have to flame, Im downloading the 6 hour patch, I have not played in ages... But I have read up a bit, andby the looks of it, something needs to happen!

I like the idea of anyone being on the bh terms if they do a high risk / high reward quest and fail. It would'nt be forced pvp as the player would know before he got involved in the quest what the outcome may be.

I say.. make it possible for any player regardless of profession to be placed on the bounty hunter terminal. I feel this would not only give bounty hunters more to do, but would be a fair comprimise for the BH/Jedi issue. I think it could also be used as GCW content. If this were to happen, I would say leave Jedi xp loss (or even raise it a little), we are the alpha class and should have some kind of risk.

i for one dont see anything wrong with it ... but i always think in terms of the masses .. with a broad view .. i fear the impact it would have on people choices for proffessions ...

we dont need to give yet another reason for BH to leave our beloved proffession and go jedi ...

and it would discourage some of the few jedi hunters left to quit jedi hunting ( not all but some) ....

i think the BH bounty should go out on BH that have WON many battles not lost many battles .. the BH that loose too much are the ones that arent as good in PVP ... if your going to put up a regular class of people to be hunted .. make sure they have the skill to defend themselves .. afterall we arent jedi .. we dont have the luxury of having templates designed and built stronger ...so let the experienced skilled PVP'ers fend off BH attacks

No thanks! If I'd like to get hunted , I'd go jedi.

This is one of those jedi alt-BH suggestions, only to get us BHs to hunt jedis less.

I say put spammers who dont put a pause in there spam on the terms, low payout but an easy kill

Plus we would be doing a service

I think its a great idea. I also think that the best BH should be approached by a NPC who wants a particular Jedi or Jedis (is that that the plural?) whacking i.e. one that has won a lot of PVP battles (high PVP rating). I think this would be appreciated especially as high pvp rankings indicates a willingness to fight.

You open the door to a lot of exploits though.

Let's say some Jedi are afraid of a well known BH, so they grab his mission. Now whenever he comes around to try to kill the jedi suddenly he has other BH/players trying to kill him. Jedi in effect have a free "get out of jail" card, or bodyguard.

Look at all the problems you have from one side(bh) hunting another side(jedi). You add in a third party and suddenly problems will multiply many times over.

a bounty hunter is someone who will kill anyone for money, the use of bounty hunters to hunt jedi players in the game was an early introduction to help control the jedi population with perma death, but we all know what changes happened to that and the current situation with bh's and jedi population, an introduction of an "all player bounty system" would be a welcomed addition to the game, not only for content for us, but for everyone. if someone wrongs you p!$$es you off or just rubs you the wrong way post a bounty on them and give them a penelty for a death by bh like jedi, this will help to solve alot of the conduct problems in the game with people hiding behind their monitors and make things fun for a majority of the game.

as far as jedi hiring bh's for protection, why not? 9 out of 10 bh's play the profession for the pvp, does it matter if its for or against jedi?

I think there's enough professions out there screaming to be hunted that we can take a back seat.
