Exactly the same as before.


I killed a Jedi and his mission was 49K+, but got paid 226K.

Cool, i think that the similar mission amounts will help with the anonymity of the jedi and their level while ultimately giving BH the payout they actually earn.

they should boost the highend payout a tad...and do some work on the npc bounty system to make it more fun and profitable....tougher mobs, special loot, high payouts etc.

One question... Did the 49k add onto the 226k? Or no?

As reassuring as this is, it still doesnt address the problem. I agree that the old system was open to griefing by a small number of players, but it was also just like the regular mission terms, where a person who had recently achieved a new CL could go to the terms and systematically increase the mission level until they found their 'comfort zone'. Now someone who just received the MBH level can go grab a mish and get slaughtered by a knight, and if the devs have their way in the future he will end up on the terms himself. This is an open insult to the BH profession, it openly says that the BH community is not mature enough to pick and chose our own mission levels, and that because of the paddy-griefing the Jedi community has accused us of we now have to take our little spanking and not know the mission difficulty.

what about a jedi that hasn't been killed in a log time, is there an extra bonus for that?

When did you get to see the mark's name? When you rode up on them or during the tracking process?

His other post says you don't learn the marks name at any point during the tracking process.

Great, how you got so luckly to get a Noob Jedi is beyond me. You do understand that 95% of the Jedi on the terminals (on live servers) are Jedi Knights. Do you really think that the "first strike" (even if the /duel issue isfixed) is going to off set the massive slaughter that will result in this fights?


Is your opinion, that a Bounty Hunter (w/ First Strike) is EQUAL to a Jedi Knight?


I realize that the developers don't care (or want) if the Jedi have it easy and can slaughter everyone that fights them, that is what they want and is a Jedi'scontent.


But I would hope that you would at least understand that the probability of completed a Bounty post Pub-20 will be about 10% (if that).

rYsyn hit the nail on the head here. It seems as though we are to accept that in general we will have a 10% chance of success. I myself have been randomly pulling Jedi missions of the terms for the last week and been on the loosing side of every engagement. Thats 5 and counting. Why? M. Def + MLS is a sick joke. Throw in those with Cloak and Snares and First strike means squat as they just FR, Cloak, and come back when they are ready.

And this is from a MBH/MR/CM4000 with easily over a hundred kills under my belt AND while hunting marks in the 80k-150k Pre-CU (pre MLS nerf) and POST-CU 120-200k solo. Actually after getting CU 4000 Ive been doing 180k-200k exclusively.

Point is, we are back to square one where now MCM is the new TKM. Im sorry but Im tired of this BS. Looks like after almost 2 years its time for this BH to give the devs the ol' YMB.
