You people think I am kidding. This situation will happen with GREAT regularity. Only online Jedi need to be on the terminals if these other changes go live.

He's absolutely right. These changes should not go live until they figure out a way for the BH to be able to tell whether the mark is online before he accepts the mission. At the very least a "Check Online Status" button in the mission description window.

It'sa great idea... No more greifing low level paddies, using that "i win button" on them.

No more stalking and harassing players just because "they are jedi and I hate this one in particular"

There is absolutely no reason to know the jedi's name on the terms. Faction YES, Name NO.

1) Nerfed by the CU - Annoyed

2) SWG destroyed by the NGE - Pisssed

3) Cancellation to nerf the dev's pay check, priceless!!

I'ma Jedi and I feel that this is a mistake if several other changes are not implemented along with it.

Issues created in Name removal

Kashyyk - creates an almost BH free zone, I would drop a Jedi mission on Kashyyk if the droid came back with this unless I got the name after the bio sig download. Otherwise I would never find my mark there.

Agreed... how about making the Imperial bounty officer at the starport a source of specific info on Kash jedi missions? He could hand out names instead of bio-sigs (as bio-sigs are useless on Kash).

Same Faction - Some BH feel strongly that they only want to hunt opposite faction Jedi, this would be a huse time sink and not in a positive way.

Online-Offline Jedi - Without being able to reference a friend list with Jedi on it how would they know who was on or off? Another huge waste of BH time.

I think these onesare addressed... terms reportedly show faction and only generate missions for online jedi. Now not being able to tell if the jedi goes offline or into space will be frustrating as hell...

Payout removal - I feel that this on it's own would be a great change, it would get some BH's to hunt some of us higer level Jedi as well as taking some of the heat off of the lower ones.

Be careful what you ask for. As the population of full template Jedi increases the population of active MBH's will dwindle. No one wants to put the effort into tracking down a mark(especially given the extra difficulty of working without names/current online status/player snitches) just to get his butt handed to him most of the time. The other possibility is that this could lead to further Jedi nerfs to bring them into line with other 250pt professions.

If the end goal of this change is to remove themulti playerteams on aJedithen why not have the terminals only list online players, list faction, and transmit the name to the datapad after speaking to the informant. These additions I feel would be a fair comprimise to the changes headed to BH. The droids would need to be fixed on Kash as well, removing names without the additions I listed above will in effect make going after marks there not worth the time or the effort.

Amen.

SOE, I was bored with your game before I became a BH. I became a BH and have been on like 3 hours a day. With this nerf, I don't know if I'll stay and pay you 15$. And I know I am not alone in this. I have been playing since launch, and this is the only time that I am actually wanting to quit.....

You are not alone. BH is what fueled me to keep playing just over a year ago, being completely bored with all other aspects of this game. If some want to stick around and hunt with a blindfold on with a Bob Barker mystery envelope as the cherished prize, knock yourself out.

Tanks is on a sailboat enjoying his vacation, so I'm helping out.

Please channel all reactions to this thread such that there is a focused discussion from which to pass feedback on to the Dev team.

I find it very peculiar that thishappens while Tanks is absent, given his staunch position against it.

I'm going to ignore the imbalances this creates given that certain Jedi simply need more than one BH to take down.

But more to the point, how are we supposed to track a Jedi who's on Kash? Before we could search via name, but now this has been taken away from us. I'd let this slide of course if Jedi were actually using the planet for content, but every one I've found has been exploiting the static spawn at the Feral Wookie camp.

I think it was safe bet this was coming, they want the Jedi grind to be easy, they want to advertise "Be a Jedi" and get more people to join up, they know this will make most BH's just say forget it and stop hunting, that is the point of this, that is exactly what they want, and probably eventually just dump Jedi bounties all together.

But think about it, SOE is signing the games death warrant, might take awhile, but who wants to play game where everyone is pretty much 1 class, more and more players become Jedi, those not wanting to be Jedi leave, soon 90% of servers are Jedi, the rest are Chefs, or alts.

Jedi can be happy about this patch sure, but for how long, how long will the fun last as you run around with your Jedi and finally stop and realize, hey everyone is a Jedi, all you see is tons of players in Jedi robes flashing sabers everywhere, this is no fun I will sell my Jedi on ebay, whoops, Jedi are a dime a dozen now, 10 bucks on Ebay, some PVP action...sure...well Jedi PVP, no regular classes to lord over, everyone is Jedi now, hey I will take my Jedi and do some quests, oh man, all the NPC's have been uped high enough it takes 8 Jedi and then it's so hard most even 8 Jedi sometimes can't kill that quest NPC..

Ok so they remove the names, etc, with all the safe grinding on Kash, the double xp, BH's who the devs wanted as Jedi pop control are no longer needed, they don't want pop control anymore, might as well make level NPC's that pay out various diff amount of credits to make up for the loss of Jedi bounties (and I bet this might have been or is being considered).

You don't need a crystal ball to see where the game is going, just look at Kash, look at the terms and Jedi going from 80k to 200k in no time with double xp and the safe grinding planet, and just look around on your servers and see all the knights force running around and lighting up the game sky with their sabers.

The future is coming..and a saber is lighting it's way.

These changes are a joke. Imagine Jabba telling Boba Fett, "I have a bounty for you but Iwon't tell you his name, or how much i will pay you. All i can give you is his bio sig." What BH would take that job? If these changes do indeed come true, I'm cnaceling my account.

cry noob it takes a bh like 1-3 weeks to grind when a jedi takes a year to do so when you cry babies bh have to grind for a year and get 32 mil xp at 1/5 the normal xp rate then you can be equal to jedi
