Why not? I can see what he ate. What buff's he is using. And his ham bar stats so why not the force bar sight for mbh?

YEAH!!! And as soon as we TEF them their saber should disappear and then automatically force them into the prone. Then ROOT them! Yeah, THAT too! Then every time they try to get up have it cause 2000 point of damge to their health bars!



You can always tell the loser no talent re-specBounty Hunters from the REAL pro's. God kid, it's Bounty Hunters like you that make this prof look really sad.

The BH to Jedi ratio on the BOUNTY HUNTER boards always seems a bit off...


Although I have to agree with the flamers. This is a dumb idea.

While I may not agree with the original post, I have to agree with this. One post on the BH boards and the first 3 or 4 replies always seem to be Jedi. Which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the Jedi replies are almost always useless wastes of bandwidth like the first bunch of replies to this post.


As to the original topic though, as nice as it would be to see the force bar, it would be a bit unbalancing. Being able to see the mind and actions bars allow you to make split second tactical decisions when these bars momentarily dip to low levels. The force bar takes far too long to regenerate, meaning having a low force bar is not a temporary situation that allows for a quick decisive strike. Waiting for a Jedi to be low on force would basically determine the outcome of the fight before it begins. Being low on action or mind doesn't make a combat character completely helpless, whereas a Jedi is basically unable to engage in combat for the several minutes it takes to regenerate a depleted force bar. This gives you the advantage of being able to drain that force bar to win the fight, but it also means it would be entirely unfair for BHs to know exactly when that happens.

yeah i recon a jedi should be able to see other jedi's force bar but no one else, but as a bh anyway you begin to learn the tell tale sign's that a jedi is running out of force.

Anything else you'd like to increase the advantage BH already have over Jedi? How about a skill that instantly DB's the Jedi? Just think, you could walk up, DB him at the touch of a button and get paid without even having to get your hands dirty. Maybe you'd like to see the stats of his saber before you decide whether or not to engage? or hey I got one for you, /templatereport. Yea that would be a good one. Find out what template said Jedi has before you engage so you know how to play it.

And what about us that have both professions, and enjoy both equally.

Are we NOT allowed on here because we have a Jedi and can see how absurd some of the ideas are?

Ok, lets take this to back to what the 'force' is, in terms of Lucas...

If you are not force sensisitve, therefore not a Jedi, how could you see force or understand a connection with the force so that you would be able to see a force bar?

Want to see a force bar, simple become in tune with the force and be a Jedi. You can then look at your bar all you want. (And see how much fun it is manage not 3 pools but 4 pools since the CU especially, as pre-CU all Jedi Force abilities came from the force bar and not action, and mind like regular professions, like it does now.)
