i wonder if the devs thought this through (this is not a whine...simply an attempt to understand the devs)
at the moment....it is nearly impossible for a BH to go toe to toe, 1 v 1, with a full template jedi...
however that is what SOE is asking us to do
by making it so that group members no longer give jedi visibility, it will be very very easy for jedi to stay off of the terms now
this means that 99% of the jedi that will be on the terminals will be full template jedi, or jedi that are very close to full template
therefore, 99% of the jedi that you and i will be hunting will be full template - and we will fail way way way way more often than we succeed
yes there can be incorporated a lot of research, timing, and waiting....but the fact of the matter is
SOE is asking us to attempt to take on full temp jedi without giving us the means to do so

As many of the other previous posts have mentioned, the Devs are probably lining thier ducks up for the jedi FRS revamp. Making BH mission anon sets up a perfect way to counteract the fightclub exploit the jedi were using to gain FR status. Makes perfect sense to me now that Jedi "get something out of a bh vs jedi fight" otherwise why not just FR away, or /cloak escape.
The so called "bh gank squads" and specific jedi targetting "griefing" is just a side bonus effect in thier mind i am sure.
The sad thing about 1v1 hits is it virutually forces all bh to take up some or part of CM/doc in order to adapt rather than keep a template they want.
However the Devs MUST change giving us a name at some point in the stalking process--OR remove that /duel exploit

No, its almost impossible for YOU to take down a jedi 1v1. There are plenty of ways to do it and a ton of them are detailed on these forums.

Negative. SOE is allowing you to take on a full temp jedi. Nobody asked you to do anything. You asked for player bounties, and SOE allowed them for the one class they figured would be strong enough to handle being randomly ganked out of the blue.

Please think of this: most of the jedi who finished their temps did this while being grouped at the wookies on the trails. Most of them don't have a clue about pvp. All they had to do was target groupleader and auto-attack with saberhit. They don't know their templates and how to use it thus making them fairly easy to take down.

There are plenty ways to do it, but the fact of the matter you shouldn't have to hope and prey a building falls on him. If we are expected to go 1 on 1 taking out a full temp'd Jedi should be even. The fights should be relatively close without near impossible feats occuring. Maybe MBH will get a resist force powers skill?

masterarp saysto get rid of the/duel exploit but I never once seen any BH ask for the /duel exploit to be removed when it was the BHers useing it. (not saying you used it)
AND jedi sould have a heads up when a BH with his mission is close. jedi always felt when dange was close. maybe some kind of reb glow around the BH when the jedi uses so much skill points

The fights AREN'T supposed to be close! That's why they allow you up to 5 on 1 odds! The problem became that 5 on 1 was supposed to be a random occurance, but instead some BH squads organized and made it very one sided - so they removed the ability to do so in the next patch.
I honestly believe some of you have absolutely no clue what its like to havesome new fool shooting at you every 10 minutes when you're just trying to shop for furniture.
They key to taking out your target needs to remain your heads. There are BH's who've figured out how to get the job done no matter what - they're very good at what they do, and deservea small bit of the hype they receive.Those who can'thackit should get a real job - hunting bounties is not a forgiving profession, and there isn't room for the inept.

ROFLMAO!!! HUH?!?!? Are you bounty hunters or wizards? You have the tools that you need to do your job - moreso than that. With bomb droids and tracker droids, bounty hunting has become enough of a gimmick profession.

umm, excuse me?
1) you dont know me - so dont think that simply because i posted this, that i can't do my job
2) ask any jedi on my server about my reputation - you may re-think what you posted
3) i can take full template jedi - however most BH's i know can't, this thread was for them - if this thread doesnt apply to you, dont comment

This is the part that I dislike. Sure there are plenty of people who have taken down full temps, but unless they are AFK, LD, or u track them for 3 hours across multiple planets waiting for them to get below 1/4 of their health bar there is no way to take down a full temp without the above mentioned part in ur temp. I'm gonna change my temp cause I wanna hunt Jedi and I wanna succeed, but it stinks in my opinion. Again, just my opinion, everybody has one.

taking out the duel exploit is a must, it is very annoying spending all this time finding my opportunity to be foiled by some stupid bug. Funny part is it isn'tevery once in awhile its used, its every mission I've taken. Here I am sneaking around like a fool to have a Jedi tell me, "are you after me", then they'd go into there house and log. When BH had the duel exploit I didn't know about it till it was fixed, I certainly would not have used it at the time, but after this constant abuse ruining my suprise attacks and wasting my time, I can't guarantee fairness if some other bug comes into play that benefits BH.
