Currently, player bounties are multiple of 1000 (ie payment are 25000, 130000, 226000 etc.). NPC bounties are a random number (32487, 28730...). Sometimes a NPC bounty is a multiple of 1000 (there's one chance out of 1000, of course, but it happens). In that case you can look at the title of the mission. Player bounties have titles such as "Jedi identification", "Restore imperial order"... They are always the same titles (I don't remember them all, I'd say there are 4 or 5 different ones). NPC bounties also always have the same titles, but I don't remember any since I haven't done a NPC mission since long ago.


After publish 20 I don't know how this will work, since mission payouts will be random numbers between 40000ish and 50000ish (don't remember the exact values).

Actually, it sucks a lot. We're working on it. Please listen to this, Mr. Corro. If you wish to create good standings with the BH community, THIS is the way to go.

Hmm... that would be cool.

It should be expensive to hire a BH like 15M minimum. We are talking about a Hit job on a real player.

If the BH is killed by the mark. the mark should get clues to who hierd the scumbag. if he solves the puzzle he should get a clear verification of the player who paid for his death and a TEF to go afther him


I love it...

i like that train of thought heh, personaly it would add so much more to the game and make things a little more interesting, instead of worrying about The Stormtroopers in town you have to watch you back for a BH in disuise...

The one thing Prob holding back this is...

A, The PVE crowd in game. and I can agree with them. What RISK/REWARD is there for the Avg player.


B, player A Artisen CL 1 charged me 20k for a pair of shoes. I found them for 10k else where. Well Im mad about this so being a player who has loot stole my way to Greater Richness can pay for the Player bounty Over and Over again. Long story Short. To easy to grief.

Although the AFK spammers would be interesting to take down. But again it would be considerd a grief.

It can somewhat work......I had a player a while back see my BH tag and asked me to take out another player. Basically, this person who was classes above the one who "hired" me DB'd them when they said no DB.


I was able to coax him into a duel in which I never said no DB....DB'd him and got paid. Not much though as this person wasn't rich.....I declined the money (around the 20k mark don't quite remember).


So it is possible if you can get the other person to duel you to the death, or don't say no DB and get em


I think it would be nice to have other players put out bounties......but there'd have to be one kick a$$ system keeping it in check. Probably never happen. But it'd be nice!
