In addition to my earlier commentsregarding the ability to hunt jedi at 3000... This is BH greatest ability. By leaving it there and allowing anyone to master marksman 1 line of scout and 3000 bh you are taking away from BH. Think about it. Why would anyone go up Pistol, Carbine, LLC when they can make a chopped up template and still be able to hunt jedi. Master BH will be dropping skills like crazy to build a better combat character. Unless the ability to hunt jedi is moved to master your going to see a large percentage of BH dismantle their profession.
Many BH just want to hunt jedi. Therefore, they would only take 3 skills in BH and have plenty of points left to take other professions. There will be no true BH anymore. It will be a hack job of whatever you can combine to make the uber template. Your going to have BH Master Rifleman and BH Master TKA. Its like the profession BH became a joke and its only purpose is 3000 of the profession just to thin out the jedi poplulation.
Sometimes you have to wonder whats going on in the Devs heads.

Ihavent read all the posts on this thread so if i am remaking someone elses point, please, excuse me.....
Do you think we are all children? I can see that alot of folks missed the tone in your message.....not soon enough for you.....not quick enough for you......not soon enough for you. Don't talk down to your loyal customers, we are smarter than you give us credit for. I see adjustment to the skills as a simple attempt to placate the angry mob that we bounty hunters have become. Well, sorry.....but this isnt going to cut it. Yes, it will be great to have more skills, but where is the fix for the things that are wrong? If we had all the things that we, as a whole, needed.....we wouldnt need the skill points. Fix the droids, fix the mission errors, and fix our defense. I for one, will not be happy with this profession until you fix these things. As far as I am concerned, you can take the bone you are throwing us and shove it. This skill point stuff is a marketing ploy. Keep throwing out just enough fixes until the next game comes out, then drop support. I know the routine.
btw.....no flaming....I doubt very much ifI look at this thread again.
Its because almost ALL of the effin BHrs ACT like spoiledlittle Kiddies!
He said in his post that they are working on your profession, and that this is the ONE thing that they can do for you NOW! The other fixes and enhuancements will take TIME!
This all just reinforces my contempt for most ofthose that play a Bounty Hunters.

If this is going to be done then taking Jedi marks has to be moved to Master BH or just plain don't allow 3000 BH to go with TKA, Fencer or combat med. These builds, esp the combat medic which would allow for 4404 with havla and loot poisons will absolutely DESTROY jedi. Maybe higher lvl jedi will be able to defend themselves but they are about as common as the Gorax. For the rest of the jedi who weren't done the initiate box, or in my case, the jedi who will start in publish 10,this will be a nightmare.

Wait a sec. What happens when the combat revamp actually hits? Will our reqs change? Will we have other limitations imposed on us?
Is giving up the 3 skill trees in scout a permanent thing or are they going to be replaced by 3 other skill trees in the combat rebalance?
Pealse just fix our defenses, accuracy and the weapon delay for right now.

Actually I retract my earlier post, I feel that Jedi Missions should only be for MBH's...

We are going to remove the Trapping, Hunting, and Survival Scout lines from the Bounty Hunter prerequisites.
I'm afraid that this change may take away more from the BH profession than add to it. One of the things that makes bounty hunters unique is their ability to hunt down the force-wielding freaks-of-nature known as the Jedi. But no longer. With this change, high-level TKAs, Riflemen, and Pistoleers will be able to dabble in BH and hunt Jedi themselves.
How about moving Jedi hunting up to Master Bounty Hunter along with this change?

Hey, I am glad that they are relaxing the requirements. This gives me a chance to do other things. This is just a step in the right directions. Thanks JustG.

Don't feel too bad. As a TKM I feel the same way. There is going to be a huge increase in dabbling when this hits. I'm glad you're all getting attention at least. And it seriously ISN'T soon enough. A full year after release and the main thing about BH is still not working. Not only that, but nothing has been said about anyone even thinking about "fixing" it until now. And now they try and patch it up for a little while and basically call everyone complainers. I want you guys to be fixed as much as you do. But now we're going to have all kinds of BH/TKA's and BH/Fencer's. Its not really going to be a BH hunting the Jedi, it'll be some Master Fencer or TKM who just happens to have 3.0.0.0 in BH.

You could always do other things, you'd just have to drop BH skills. What about those of us that just bought this game to be a BH? It cheapens the profession, takes away many of our accomplishments, and fixes nothing wrong with the class.

So I guess the concepts of humanoid traps and better specials will all be but a dream now? I always thought that the BH profession would've been able to stand on itself...
hmm, no profession "stands on itself"...Not even Jedi.

The weapon switch timer needs to be put in the BH tree in such a way as to not effect us negatively.
This would be another good thing to add in on friday.
Bounty Hunters should be the only ones Without the switch timer.
