Bounty Hunter Archive

I have heard the 2v1 stories more and more lately. In every instance the attacks were not coordinated but just bad timing for the Jedi. I do not think the payouts are split (it goes by db/damage). I have pulled the same Jedi's missions twice in a two day span just last week. It appears your friend was receiving a ton of visibilty and was properly being hunted. That is what I gather from the reports I am hearing on Naritus.

so wonder how much jedi out there have vis and aren't showing up on the terms

Perhaps all the visibility gained during the forced grouping/forced visibility period iswearing off and only those that are not careful (or don't care) are on the terms.

I'm wondering if I'm one of those due the lack of visitors I recieve.

Ya, this visibility stuff is really confusing me. I pvp a lot almost every day but i never seem to get hunted, bugged maybe? Our only other theory is that the knight title might ward some bounty hunters off, but would anyone admit to dropping a knight's mission?

Since we can't lose anything in attacking you, except an extra trip to the cloner, I don't think many BHs would back off cause of the title. Atleast I wouldnt

One of the first positive threads I've seen on BH/jedi forums in two year!!

active dynamic vis levels are most likely pushing people to teh first page of bounties...as far as I knwo most folks will pickl a jedi bounty from the first page. I normally do. so this is most likely why your most actively visible Jee-dai are getting hunted more..which is just what they want. perhaps if we started refreshing a few times before picking a target we could insure a wider variety of targets. *shrug* i'm going to do it from now on just in case it helps. takes what...10 seconds of my day at most.

/agree with that

I hunted and fought a jedi for about 15 minutes, then notice another BH turn up. Probably because the Jedi was getting Vis from me fighting him??

Anyhoo the jedi ran, fair enuf, I could not catch. The other BH ran after him and DB'd but I got the payout. Maybe that is what the guy near the top of the page was posting. Payout could go on damage as well as the DB as a calculation of effort.

I had one BH come for me try to kill me while I was tanking a lair.... Just as I deathblowed that one another shows up and starts attacking. I then killed that one as well. Was amusing I was making a little pile of BH corpses.

This is NOT my experaince and is recounted from a fellow guildie who has a good reputation.

He had 3 visits with a 2-4 hour period and one had got him! (I'm unable to confirm this although he had said there were two on him at the same time. Does one BH-TEF cancel out another or are ALL bountyhunters still able to attack when holding mission?) A day later one of the same BHs shows up again with his mission...

Just wanted to express the rate Jedi are being pulled from the terminals.

It is strange I had 6 BH show up for me one day, and every other Jedi I knew then were asking where all the BHers were. I was telling them they're all getting my mission. Bad thing is none of them want my mission, so they keep dropping it after asking me why they keep getting my mission repeatedly all day.

The missions are bugged and not random. I've seen 3 in one hour on a guildmate, one right after another.

question...how much vis would you estimate that you generate on an average day as opposed to say three days up to and including the one where you ahd so many hunters on you?

---

We were all in sam groups doing same activities for the longest. When the BHers started showing up, I generated alot more than normal. But I'm not showboating in the starports screaming PWNED with my LS asking where all the BHers are. I would think these people would have more visits than me.

Now last two week or so I've been generating alot of viz, and they still don't come for me often. It's like it goes in waves. For example, I've had only one BH show up for me since Saturday, and it was the same one that keeps getting my mission. He drops it of course since I helped him unlock in villiage and we have mutual friends. I haven't really changed any of my activities in two weeks, but I don't hide anymore. I haven't been killed by a BH in four months.

If it is based on viz points, which would make sense to do, then these other Jedi should be getting more. But instead they think they are immortal since no BHers are getting their missions.

Personally, I think when a low CL Jedi is doing REALLY STUPID STUFF in starports, they need a BH visit to keep them on their toes. They give other Jedi a bad name.

I am not complaining or anything, it just seems the missions being generated need SLIGHT tweaking. I'm perfectly fine with 6 BHers a day showing up, just as long as they understand I don't want to do six 30 minute long duels a day. That gets old SO FAST. Needless to say, BORING. Thankfully both sides don't want long duels like this most of the time.
