I have a problem with this, dropping bounty ammounts is a bad Idea, I could care less who and what faction I am hunting, but if the pay out is not listed, I am not going to mess with it. The Jedi do not need a nother get off the radar free card. Since they have the Kashyyyk day spa and recreational planet now. (and space).
If the devs want to give us a bone on the teminals ramp up the difficulty for inv4 or make and inv5 and make the npc side as challenging.
Making BH vs Jedi missions one on one somehow.
- Adding Smuggler missions.
However, all of the above are more of a wish list at this time and are not on any schedule that has been revealed by devs.
Jedi vs BH one one one, well until the Devs kill the exploits, why?
- I do give the Devs Credit when they Do things Right...
when do we get our free character slot on the same server ?
What about super powers?
lol

-one what?
- Successive failed missions getting BHs on terminals.
-BH's hunting BH's? Cool!!!
- Eliminating Jedi names and bounty amounts from terminals while listing faction and online status.
-So after taking the time and expenseto find our mark we could find they're a guardian? That's lame. Faction means nothing to a BH even if their in one but online status is nice.
- Making BH vs Jedi missions one on one somehow.
-Cool, but where's thechallenge for Guardians?
- Adding Smuggler missions.
-This is something I've wanted since I bought the game. I've said it before but something I've never seen in the movies is a BH with a bounty on a Jedi. What I have seen is BH's with a bounty on a Smuggler. If they still want to make this game feel like "Star Wars" they need to do this. I can't say I've heard anything new on the Smuggler update but, last I read, they wanted only npc BH's to hunt Smuggler upon un-succesful missions. I'd have renewed respect for the dev's if they changed their minds and want to let us players make the hunt.
However, all of the above are more of a wish list at this time and are not on any schedule that has been revealed by devs.
Thanks for the info.

Bad bad bad.
Forcing BH's to 1v1 Jedi is a very bad idea.
Currently the only way for most BH's to take out the large bounty jedi (200k+) is to group.
This is intended, as Jedi are meant to be better than normal proffessions.
As has been stated by the devs Jedi are meant to be ~1.5x better than current proffesions.
Why force it to be a 1v1 fight when Jedi are already better than BH's? It makes no sence.
Either balance Jedi to be only as good as every other prof, which WON'T happen, obviously, or let BH's continue to group to take down a target.

My comments**:
- Interresting, but what is "so high"
- This is the best idea of them all! It would force BH who only want to hunt for the PvP factor to either get better through self training, or through seeing another BH take their mission and show them the way.
- Realy not sure about this. The bounty price is the main reason I use for taking a mission. The faction listing and online status are good, but without the Jedi names being listed it might lead to a Jedi being giefed by accident.
- Great idea if this means a TEF lockout, but bad idea if it means that only one BH can take a Jedi mission.
- ?Does this mean the Smugglers are getting their revamp?
**I hope some of these ideas go through. I just hope the right ones go through.
I have to say I like all the changes proposed. I have never hunted with a group ( why train the competition ). I also like the fact that BH's will get on the terms if they fail, about time that we felt a bit of the paranoia that should come along with our line of work. Look at the EU for examples, Boba Fett hunted other BH's for money when it was good enough.
And to all of you that say you will cancel if these are implemented. Well have fun in whatever you do next. Less competition for me.

If these changes regarding 1v1 jedi fights etccame in I would leave. Jedi are meant to avoid teams of bounty hunters if they can't win, not have the "universe" fixed so that teams of hunters cant get to them.
Im from a BH guild on chimaera sporting about 52 players and I haven't spoken with any of them who would stick around if these changes happen despite the fact that a lot of them play smuggler as well. That should say something.

I have no problem with eliminating jedi names from terminals, but removing bounty amounts sounds unfair. Every profession has the ability to choose the difficulty of its contents (when a hunter takes a hunting mission, difficulty level is adapted to his own combat level). Bounty amount is the only clue we have to know if a mission will be impossible to complete (bounties over 220k).
About BH vs Jedi one on one. I'm ok if a full template Jedi is as strong as the strongest solo combat template (non jedi). Otherwise it greatly reduces the incentive for Jedi to stay off the terminals, since they will kill most of the BH who will come after them if they can't attack at the same time.
I would understand that the life of Jedi would be made easier by implementing the changes described above if it was currently so hard that no one would be able to be and remain a Jedi. But this is not what's happening. There are Jedi everywhere, the game does not need more, making it easier and more comfortable to be a Jedi would just encourage even more Jedi. Are the devs really satisfied about the stupid amount of Jedi in the galaxies now ? Is Lucas Arts satisfied that a starwarsgame taking place during the GCW has more Jedi than games taking place in the Old Republic or in the Clone Wars ?

tell me that one is a joke
this will make the terminals worse than they already are
how is this possible when jedi are supposidly 1.5x as strong as anyone
i think wish list is a seriously bad word, none of the above mentioned ideas are an improvement
( yes i am a BH )
well 1)the"how is this possible when jedi are supposidly 1.5x as strong as anyone" reference tomaking jedi vs. bh one on one,a master bh (or 5) getting missions on a low lvl pady who is 20+ levels below him isnt my idea of a fair fight. and 2) why are all the bh's always complaining that jedi are stronger than everyone else? ill tell u.....because they're jedi lol! they're supposed to be stronger than everyone else. i mean come on, i think u bh's have it pretty easy with us jedi only being 1.5x stronger than everyone else. jedi should be 3x stronger in my opinion. once i can take out asbd in one swipe of my saber, then ill be happy because thats the kind of damage we're meant to do (take a look at obi-wan in ep.3. he took out 2 sbd's in one swipe). i dont know if any bh's have experienced the jedi life but its not just a regular profession grind. and its not exactly very relaxing when ur constantly staring at ur radar and overhead map forblue dots coming in your radius and urinstantly perinoid once u step foot out of a private building. also about what is highlighted in red, why not put bh's on their own terms after successive mission fails? when jedi die, we lose 300k xp, and what does the bh lose when he/she dies?.....absolutely nothing.
my point: there is no reason forall the bh'sto complain about these jedi updates and about jedi being too strong for them when jedi are supposed to be the strongest character's in star wars. like i said, be happy SOME jedi are only 1.5x stronger than a reg profession because ALL jedi should be 3x stronger than everybody else, and that's how it was always meant to be. we got this game (or at least i did) to play as jedi....NOT be killed in 3 hits by a bol on dant or to be hunted 5 times a day 24/7 until i die. so if u (bh's in general) dont like the way the bh vs. jedi system is, and will be in the near future, all u have todo is pressthe surrender button a couple times, and then get a new profession.
whew! im glad i finally got that out of my system lol. id keep going if my finger tips werent smoking
