Thread: Regarding House-Jedi (Updated 10/14)
You guys are too funny. First of all, nowhere does it say that you are entitled to fight a jedi. Secondly, you guys are complaining about afk'n in a house...Well that is the only place I can go when I need to get a drink, eat, smoke, or take a p!ss. Thirdly, if you think you should be entitled to come in a private building by say /picklock or whatever, you are sadly mistaken because a private building would/could have defense grids set up to handle intruders.
Lastly, why don't you just pull another mission?
I have a BH so I know how it goes....Save your flames.

I dig the correspondent's A) option. The seeker droid would tell you if they are in a private structure.
However, calculating 'precisely' where the Jedi is at is difficult not only in this game, but any online game that deals with latency. This can be seen when someone 'slides' across the med center floor or when you're hunting an NPC bounty and its at point A while the the waypoint is at point B 40 meters away.

Oh yeah, I don't deny that the structure isn't perfectly feasible, coming from both jedi and bh points of view. I just personally feel that this would be the ideal way if they could get it right so that 1. the bh doesn't waste time to only find a jedi in a house and 2. to prevent any sort of harassment if the jedi is afk or whatnot.

This does not affect gameplay, go get another mission.
This is not broken, as any home owner can decide on access rights to their house.
Wasting time talking about dumb things like this only mean real game stopping bugs get ignored.

Agreed. Someone start a more useful thread.
Allrigh,gonna say it once more, we(jedi) are not npcs, we are real live players, and we are not hired by soe to give you pleasant time and fun, it is our choice to fight or not to fight, if i want i will sit afk in my house for the whole day and youknow why? because i pay for this game just as you do and i have the right to do whatever i want as long as its not an exploit. Once again we are not soe employees and we don't care that our sitting in the houses is ruining your fun, just as you don't care that you are ruining our fun while appearing while we do guildhounts, pvp, quests and whatever else. You know why you get 200k+ for jedi mission instead of 10-30k? Because we're not supposed to wait for you to attack usat the wp your droid gave to you like the targets from your npc missions. Thats it most of you are prolly to selfish and have to little brains to understand it anyway. 
Not a BH or a jedi, but a long-time player of the game and have friends in both professions.
Creating an ability to force a player from a building is unthinkable. I understand BHs want to hunt jedi, but forcing people from a private structure when they are not in combat and sometimes do not even realize they are on the terminals is a pandora's box. I can't understand why reasonable people would support this idea, its a greiving tactic that is only thought up by people who want to ruin the gameplay of others. Jedi are hunted, I think this is a good system. Its fun, challenging, and keeps sane jedi from being overly stupid with their skills. But allowing one player to control another player's actions OUTSIDE of combat is an idea that should never ever be put in. TEFs, snares, roots these are the sane ideas. Forcing someone out of a house, even l/d or afk, when they are not in combat just because you want to kill them is grieving, period.
Terminals should only list on-line jedi and jedi who are not afk. Not the afk given by that stupid tag you can run around with 24/7, but the afk set on you by the system for being inactive. Also, a system message besides a friends list note should inform you if your bounty is online, l/d, or system afk. So BHs can spend their time hunting in-game jedi. Saves the real afk jedi and the l/d ones. Saves BH droids and time if you. The books and movie BHs and jedi were always there. A game where afk and logging out is unavoidable, rules and style needs to be different from movies/books just face it. No more 'well, i can chop his head off in one hit cause windu did it in the movie' or 'i can bust down doors cause real BHs can.' Equal fairness. Jedi should not be able to decapitate BHs in one it, BHs should not be able to break into a private structure just because they feel they deserve to kill when they want to.
Thoughts of a vet player.
Raz-
When you hunt in RL you dont pick up your liscense walk out the back door shoot and grab your kill and clean it. Usually go to your spot ahead of time stake out your prey and wait sometimes for hours sometimes for days sometimes for weeks. Thats part of the sport of hunting. If your not hunter enought to stomach it then mabee you should put down your HC Scatter Pistol and pick up a set of crochette needles.
