The problem is some (not all) BH's are ganking. And doing sutuations in major pvp battles like staying covert and grabbing the other sides bh missions so they can collect a quick bounty while their buddies can also attack the overt jedi and teh jedi cant get healed by his friends even tho being attacked by 10 ppl lol
Actually, some BH's use that tactic to remove some of the jedi from PvP.. making it a fairer fight between non-jedi professions.
In pvp jei's have a role now.
Especially in larger battles Jedi are not a factor until the other sides ranged professions are knocked out.
The Ranged roots, area roots, KD's have a major factor in negating the jedi's effect in the battle. A cohisive group of ranged professions can tear Jedi apart in pvp
Both sides use that tactic but it is not intended that the BH get an I win button because the Jedi is in a pvp battle.
With the names off the terms any Jedi that get ganked in this fashion would not be a deliberate gank just because they are in a pvp battle. It woul dbe that they tracked their mark there.

MBH takes up too many skill points without the rewards to be a Knight killing temp.
This is the same logic as people who say "Certain people can solo ancient Krayts, so you can too"

First off I am a Padawan Jedi myself. These BH changes are good for a couple of reasons
- Stops BH's from hunting the same person over and over
- When a BH shows up for his mark and sees a group of Jedi grinding togather they can't just take names and CL and go back to the terms and pull that mission
- stopsa group of BH's from pulling the same mission and just killing the mark without a fair fight. 5 BH's on a Padawan come on how is that fun since the mark can't get any help.

I have never understood this argument. What is the difference between me hunting you 10 times or 10 seperate Bounty Hunters hunting you one time? Win or Lose the outcome is the same. Either you keep your XP or you don't.
First off, let's get to reality. Comparing 10 times versus 10 separate BH's is today not reality.
If someone comes after me 10 times, that's 10 attacks by one player, meaning that the player has singled me out to continuously provoke, attack, and take up my game time, similar to one player sending me tells every ten minutes saying, "Go Special Forces so I can whoop on you, did you do it yet? Come on!"
It's griefing.
The other side of the coin, having 10 separate BH's attack you, never happens, at least not in the same time period. One person perpetually coming after you is a constant, the latter circumstances is sporadic, or doesn't happen at all. I may get 3 attacks in a week by the random attack, but a BH singling me out will continuously cause me grief hour after hour. Way different circumstances. One's griefing, the other is not likely at all.

b) Taking away the payout being equal to level thing is freaking awful. I'm sorry but most BH's cannot take out very high level jedi 1 on 1. Short of being uber or being a fotm doc. Infact this is so completely totally wrong.
Welcome to the world of Padawans. Now they get some much need grief-release. Only the morons that show up in towns will be hunted by MASTER Bounty Hunters... as it should be.
Good game devs. Way to give the whining Jedi what they want.
I think it was freudian slip to cause this "unrest" in the community and maybe force the devs to change their ways.

I moved it by mistake to the visible forum, when the patch hits test center I'll move it back and there have been some updated changes added as well. Should be some time today
Garva to the rescue! Thanks for the quick response. At least we know it's officially coming.

Moved Player Bounty Hunting to the Master Bounty Hunter skill Box
Bounty Hunter Jedi missions (1) no longer list Jedi names and (2) prevent you from determining Jedi’s level via mission payout
Hmm. Wow, looks like you gotta pay to play. How many of you guys are not MASTER BH's? Oopps, your jedi hunting days are over.

Wow, you really are clueless, aren't you?
The CU made master BH valuable enough as it is. If you wanted to hunt the Jedi (and be good at it) you picked up MBH anyhow. There's probably only a handful of players out there who still toy around with the old 3xxx combos.
The only people this patch helps are the Jedi grinding on Kashyyyk. Previously, we could go to their grinding spots, copy down names and instances, then run back and scan the terms. Now with names removed we can't even do that. Sure, the House-TEF is a nice change, but considering 80% of my marks are on a planet where you can't place a house, this doesn't really help me out, does it?

Yeah, and you guys get to run around kashyyk all day, unharmed :-)

You seem to be forgetting that the Feral Wookies on kashyyyk are NPCs...they generate visibility.
If any jedi remain on Kashyyyk after this I say they deserve to get their ass handed to them and be all over the boards. Any jedi that knows 7 other people in the game will be grinding on Lok...the biggest and emptied planet on the galaxy that has player cities to run out of...and they'll all be killing gurks for hours on end. Then they'll find somewhere they can afk that only spawns high level MOBs and no NPCs and no one will be on the Terms till they seriously screw up and get attacked by that lvl 50 elite opposing faction NPC guarding the starport.
Removing group Vis is an AWESOME and needed change...all you guys complaining about jedi having kashyyyk to themselves are wrong. The jedi on Kashyyyk will be the only ones on the terms after this publish.
Stasis is a Master Enhancer Skill. Most Knights are not master enhancer.. Know your enemy.

A melee template doesn't even make sense any more. Anyone with saber throw and statis (i.e. most Knights) can root a melee and kite from 35m. The only way a knight would lose in this situation would be ifhe was an idiot.
As far as CM templates go, you do know that you can be a MCM/MBH, right? You don't have to drop MBH to be a combat medic. Hell, if you pick up just the healing line (the most valuable against knights because it gives you the stamina to out last their force bar), you can pick up MBH and a second elite prof.
My entire guild is MBH and I haven't come across a single hunter in game who wasn't master, either. This patch is pointless.
