I hate this idea thats just my oppinion. I just think that the one on one thing is good for the padawan jedi but the fully temped jedi cannot usually be soloed.

Several things were mentioned as possibilities by devs in various forums:



  • Possibility of combat rating getting one on BH Terminals if the combat rating is so high.

Is this for everyone of just Jedi?



  • Successive failed missions getting BHs on terminals.

I would be ok with this aslong as it was not one or 2 failures and



  • Eliminating Jedi names and bounty amounts from terminals while listing faction and online status.

Don't Like this, I want to know the name of the guy I am looking for... I also want to know how much I am getting paid before I start.



  • Making BH vs Jedi missions one on one somehow.

This would be fine if I was hunting a low lvl Jedi but A Full template master Defender can take 4 Bh at once I have seen it happen



  • Adding Smuggler missions.

I like this

I Think, what they are looking for dear, is Balance. (keep looking)

Jedi should be hunted, but Not off the face of existance.

There "should" be a middle ground where jedi can find some peace from the constant of being hunted.

Kashyyk, is likely but a temporary situation for jedi to hide. Its not all that good a place for them to hunt and grind tho.

Not as fast or easily organised a place as dant, with its missions and hunting groups, and NO jedi is making master in 3 weeks. Or knight for that matter.

Hell, I'll be lucky to pollish off a whole branch in a double exp week.


You are correct in the notion that taking names and pay amounts off the terminals is by far, a silly notion.

No one takes a work contract in Real life, or job, with out knowing what it is they shall be paid, for thier time and efforts.

And names are just as important, for none want to hunt thier own guild mates, but DO want too hunt a jedi that may have been so arrogant as to mouth them off. lol. (like I do all the time. fair enough. I like too give them BH school yard bullies a sound tongue lashing now and then my self. I welcome them comming for me.)


But you cant complain about making the hunting of jedi a little more difficult. They pay more than any thing else in the game, and the poor jedi have worked as hard for what they have, if not harder, than any in the game. They deserve some respite. No one signs onto a game just to be hunted as some one elses pay out.

Now if they lessoned the exp loss to a jedi or took it away entirely, ALOT more jedi would stand and fight, and not run, or find grinding loop holes. Dont blame the jedi for these behaviors when SOE is the one forcing them too it.

I get 3-4 BH an hour on me when Im vis, and the odds have been that I die once an hour losing 1-200k exp for it.

I Cannot GRIND that much an hour! no less, enough to advance past it.

Would YOU not run and hide or seek loop holes if the system was so stacked against Your favor? Sure you would.

If you say anything but yes, I'll have to call you a blatant liar. Its not fun if you have little or no hope of advance ment.

The jedi work hard for a day, when they ARE strong enough, to stand up to the odds against them.

And that day from paddy trial too templated knight, is a long grind in comming.

Obviously there are no shortage of jedi. So it may take you a couple different contracts to catch one that pays off for you. As it should be. Its not supposed to be easy. It Sure isnt easy for the Jedi.

Now im sure, you can and will come up with lots of arguments too support your side, and all that is unfair towards BH being done in jedi favor. But I will wager that the jedi can come up with at LEAST if not more arguments for thier own side of the matter. And we all of us, HAVE too see these issues from each Others eyes, if we are to come to an understanding, and find some middle ground answers that can have a hope of satisfying all.

Pretty sure the only thing that causing BH's to get on the terms for failed missions is create a huge gap in the jedi's. you will have your full template jedi's that never get hunted for fear of the BH going on the terms and the low level paddy's that die to a BH before they get enough experience to get trained. Then losing xp for dying to a BH they get set back to a amount of xp that is close to zero.

  • Possibility of combat rating getting one on BH Terminals if the combat rating is so high.
  • YES!.
  • Successive failed missions getting BHs on terminals.
  • YES! Thats a wish frome the most jedi players but its ok . I (BH) have no problems with this idear.
  • Eliminating Jedi names and bounty amounts from terminals while listing faction and online status.
  • Hmm i would prefer this way: Eliminating jedi names and faction frome the terminals while listing amounts and online status.
  • Making BH vs Jedi missions one on one somehow.
  • YES! If every MasterBH has the chance to kill a jedi Master .
  • Adding Smuggler missions.

  • YES!

1 on 1 hunting jedi is cool with me I do it all the time... even though, taking on a full temp knight in a fair fight is almost impossible... you gotta attack when their not expecting it...Personally I think we need diffrent abilities added to the BH profession also... Like a good root cause you know how they like to run and not everyone wants to use pistols or take smuggler just to get root.... also maybe a cover or consealability that would remove us from the map so they can't see us comming by hitting ctrl+m ... just think about all the things assasins do to get their kill..booby traps ect... hell for those house hugging jedi, let us plant explosives on their door so they get blown up when they finally come out of hiding ... lol


And plz get rid if the /duel crap that lets the mark know we're after them... its pretty lame and takes away the element of supprise...


I think they need to keep the names on the terms and show faction & online status....


as for putting BH's on terms... I really do not like this idea.... find some other way of penalizing BH's for failed missions... take a few credits, get jumped by a few goons of who ever placed the bounty ect....if your mark just hides in his house or logsand you decide to find a diffrent mark....Or your mission decays after 3 days of chasing a cloaking coward... i don't want to be penalized for deleting a mission or having it decay..... personally I'd drop this idea...


Love the idea of hunting Smugglers... My alt is a master smuggler also so it should be interesting....

Spoken like a true respec BH.


Wants every thing that will lead to his own advantage, with out concideration for balance, integritty, or game play for other paying customers. God forbid, a bit of challange should be instituted.


Cant wait till he tries to go for jedi, and gets hunted 3 different times in a single hour.


But oh wait, any new jedi from this point in need not be visible to grind any more.


Guess he will have it easier than our predesessors.



So here is MY two cents worth:


Ask for, and impliment ANY changes to the game you like that can improve Your (and heres the tricky partof it)"PERSONAL" game playing experience, but "NOT" in Any way, at the expense of Anothers.


ie: Not screwing over Jedi to improve YOUR BH Gains.


We all know you can make Very close to the same money in Non Jedi missions, and even More selling rare loot drops. So dont give us the money angle.


Look, you're allowed your opinion hun. But try to form an educated one which leads to balance, fun, and mutual Fair Play for All.


The jedi dont find ganking and paddy whakking fun any more. No one should be perpetually allowed an advantage in Gaining, at another paying customers fun and expense.


Thus, the comming changes. Be Well dear. I hope to see some Possative input from you soon. Possative.
