Thread: FEEDBACK: Jedi Missions No Longer Showing Player Name, or Bounty Payout
The other idea is bad, but this one is WORSE !!
With names not on the terminals, BH's who hunt OUTSIDE their guild will be dropping alot of Missions. BH's that hunt only opposing faction will be dropping alot of missions. Many will stop hunting Jedi at all because of all the wasted time trying to get a mission of the opposing faction that is NOT a guildmate. BH's that are not CL 80 will be dropping ALOT of missions. If someone has MBH, but no other Elite Proffesion mastered, they will be outclassed most of the time, and either drop the missoion, or recruit friends and Gank the Jedi. EVERYONE will eventually ( sooner rather than later) hate this change. It will ruin the GCW, ruin PVP, and ruin the whole reason for BH's hunting Jedi.
Sounds good, two thumbs up.
Only concern is faction identification, and possibly knowing what you're going to be PAID for your work.
Perhaps a randomly assigned payout value? Today, a full template Jedi would be worth 56,000 credits. Tomorrow, 210k. Likewise, a lowly Padawan could be worth 150k one day, then 28k the next.
The bounty you pick up could be in a range of payouts, say 25 - 100k, 100k - 150k, and over 150k. Marks follow the general idea of payout vs. level as we have now, however there are a number of "oddballs" that factor into each category, where the pay is either really high or really low for the level of the Jedi.
If a BH takes a mission for a little money, and it ends up being a high level Jedi and they don't feel it's worth it, they cancel the mission and get a new one (perhaps in an expanded system, this has repercussions). If they go after the big bucks and it's a low level Padawan, score!

This is absolutly game breaking. The worst idea i have ever heard of. Not only does it not make ANY sense RP wise, it doesn't make any sense game wise.
Also, look for kashyyyk to become a complete jedi safe haven now. Without the name, how are you going to hunt on kashyyk? Run around tabbing through everything till you pick up your mark?
Letting a 3000BH hunt the same as the MBH is what was GAME BREAKING!

I'll put it succinctly:
_________
Current Game:
1. BH vs JEDI is best content in the game right now unchanged.
2. Full Template Jedi missionsor any jedi withmaster defender - cannot be solo'd.
3. Kashyyyk is nearly a Jedi sanctuary. Although I'd challenge any BHto top my success onKashyyyk, i'm frankly doing everything in my power to make Kashyyyk unsafe but the odds are stacked soundly against me and my fellowBH.
4. We are not powerful enough vs Jedi if we have to spend all our points on master bounty hunter - either make the skills in the master BH box a whole lot better than adv critical and tack on an extra +50 ranged and melee, plus accuracy and speed (like we had before CU) to make that box worth it. Otherwise if you make Player bounties master box only - we won't have enough skill points to get the skill we need to take out all the random full template master defenders you'll be giving us now - whose names we can't know.
________
If this patch is allowed to go live:
1. I havea chance to takemy own Jedi's missionwasting precioustime?
2. I cannot plan for a hunt anymoreI have lost the element of surprise? With a nameI could use spies to keep us informed about instances on Kashyyyk and which jedi are in which instances, but now I must wander all over kashyyyk pressing tab to target through thousands of creatures till a player name comes up in my target area?? A hunt taking previously 4 - 5 hours may now take weeks? Or even not waste any time taking a mission I know I cannot beat.
3. With $ amounts I could decide my strengths and weaknesses, who is a weaker, equal, and superior opponent - full template jedi are far more likely to be on the terminals (pvping overtly in theed etc) I'm likely to losealmost all battles. Frankly if I hunt for 4 hours on kashyyyk only to find a full template jedi at the far end as a solo missionover and over ... that I can't kill anything that isn't alreadylaying incapped on the ground????
________
Suggestions: give us what we asked for not this:
online/offline status on the terminals
filter to see ONLY jedi missions and full screens of them WITH names
Level of difficulty of the mission (our abilities measured vs their abilities - no more level 75 garbage in the mission window - no more 216k mission because somenoobgot trained all teir 1 boxes waiting on a token respec).
We want to make grouping with other bounty hunters possiblelet us invite a friend to join us for our mission so we both can get experience and money and ratings and so we know we have a chance in that fight vs the full template defender.
We want to FINDmarks on Kashyyyk - give us working seekers - not useless waypoints but instances and areas to search. For example a seeker message that comes back with "Rryatt Trail Instance 3 Webweaver's Path" or "Myydril Caverns Instance 10 - N-K Necrosis"
We want a BH chat channel for master bh skill box only - where we can allshare information and collaborateto eliminate the jedi scurge.
We want spynet operatives next to terminals, and new terminals and spynet everywhereincluding a terminal and spynet in the starport on kashyyyk.
Why don't the DEVs do what it is they want to do. Make it so BH can't hunt Jedi period ; Or you can hunt Jedi, if your MBH, The moon is blue, you just ate a creepe, and spun in a circle 3 times.

Woah. Wrong thread, but since you were typing in caps, large font and red color,ithas tobe true!
Btw what is up with all those Jedi posting here in the BH forums? Keep it to yourown forum if you wanna express how much you love this patch. Would be a nice change to see 1 or 2 non-whining threads over there for once.
