Spent the last 45 minutes or so checking out the changes on TC with a willing Jedi target. I had his mission from before the server went down, so the mission terminal aspects I did not directly test. Others did test that and the missions seem to work as Blixtev indicated yesterday.
1. Imp combatant mbh takes mission on Imp on-leaveJedi and is able to target and attack.
2. Mbh initiates combat outside and Jedi is unable to enter any player structure including a city hall. Mbh is also unable to enter the structures, even if public.
3.Mbh initiates combat in a city hall and both characters are ejected from structure.
4. Jedi is in player structure not enterable by mbh. Mbh is unable to initiate combat.
Conclusion: TEF rules and building rules working as intended.
What I was told by people who tried the new versions of the missions was that they never got the name of the Jedi, but were able to tab when they got near. This is pretty much as expected.
Conclusion: No names on terminals or given during mission working as intended.
A lower level bounty hunter with investigation 1 indicated he no longer had missions that were off-planet. It seems bh mission difficulty was shifte up a box to accomodate the changes to mbh getting to hunt Jedi. Unknown if this affects things like informants.
Conclusion: Not sure if working as intended.
Unsure whether off-line Jedi have missions listed for them now. There is really no way to tell for sure since names are not given in the missions.
Conclusion: Unable to tell if only on-line Jedi have missions on terminal.
I have not yet been able to check if mission difficulty level equals mark level for NPC missions. I will update when I have a chance to verify. Currently I am holding a Jedi mission to see if it expires at 3 days, so I will not be able to verify this until Saturday. I'm sure somebody else can verify whether this is working or not.

Thank you for the feedback. Care to swing by Kashyyyk and see if they stealth fixed the LOS bug? I'm just curious to know if they did that or not.

what about the payout?! i'm sure if you had a jedi helping you you wouldn't db him .. but still i'd be interested in hearing what the "bonus" is.

No name until you get there??? That freaking sucks big time! WTH! So we now have to pay them a visit just to get their stinking names??? That is the dumbest thing I ever heard. I swear the dev that thought of this brainchild needs to be put to sleep.
Why not give us the name when we get the bio-sig or when we launch the probe droid! Come on. Who would be dumb enough to keep running back and forth from the terms to the spynet op every 5 min just to herass some poor jedi over and over. It would take you all day or even all week to find a particular jedi that way. Also I would like to be able to make sure the person I am hunting doesnt log off in the middle of a hunt. I add them to my friends list until I get close to them. How are we supposed to know if they went offline now?

They should give you names with the bio.They could also put contract numbers on the terms,have the contract number give an idea of lvl.

Perhaps you are looking at this the wrong way, i dont mean to flame, but it would seem to me a former BH that it would normally take a BH that long in terms of Star Wars to find a particular target that they were searching for. Imho i believe this will help stop hate tells, due to the lack of abiltity to quickly harass a particular Jedi. Now im all for the BH profession dont get me wrong, but i never hunted the same jedi repeatedly, a true BH gets a bounty to get paid, not revenge, You are a Mercenary right? you get paid to do a job, not to Harass and Gank people. This is not a flame, merely constructive criticism.

Putting a stop to the abusing of player-involved game commands? Is there no end to the stupidity?

You bring up some very valid points. IMO i think a BH should ge given the name of their target after they get they launch the droid. It would be very difficult forMutiple Bounty Hunters to "Grief" one jedi over and over again due to the amount of time it would take to get that same mission over and over. It would still be hard to get a group of bounty hunter after one target. IMO the devs need to fix this so it works better. Not allowing a BH to know the name of the target make it very difficult to complete the mission. I would like to see this fixed so that it actualy works....

I dont hunt them repeatedly also but Im just saying... You would have to be a moron to try to hunt them repeatedly with this new system. Even if they let us get the names on from the Bio-Sig or droid, it would consume way to much time for a player to target specific players. I just want to get a name just in case they log off before I find them and that way I wont be hunting for someone who isnt even online. Plus its easier to target a name you know of instead of going tab happy.

I wouldn't mind if you got the name once you were on the planet the jedi is on and launched a probe...
Also, what about vehicles...can you enter a vehicle or vehicle with someone else with the tef?

Looking good to me.
I really like the no name of jedi part. Its not right not to have name but i would rather not have a name and suprise the jedi then wait outside jedi house because they have a 2nd account or friend thats abh scanning the terms for missions on them to warn them. that and having 5 bh friends take there mission allowing them safe grinding.
I only hunt solo so this patch is not going to affect me much except i will loose more often when i get knight missions but even they are soloable if you hit them at the right time
Now if they will only fix the ability for a jedi to /duel, /trade, etc a bh to determin if bh has there mission and make /offerRide a helpfull action like healing

I think its interestingthey did thiswhile our correspondent is away, similar to what they did to Jedi on the last publish.. We have no official person that can contact the devs with our concerns. I'm 100% positive the devs don't read these forums, or they do but are to afraid to respond to legit concerns. To be honest in the beginning this game was about star wars role playing, now its turning into kotor online. I'm here till the end, but I think the end comes closer with every publish like this one. Jedi have now gained a 100% safehouse on Kashyyyk. Droids don't work there and with the names being removed from the terms it will be next to impossible to find them. They have been selling this game with the premise that everyone can be a Jedi, and you know what, after publish 20, they are right... A majority of thejedi will progess uncontested grinding on Kashyyyk.
