Thread: whoa...
OK there is some discussion. I agree with you. I dont condone gank squads in the true sense of the term. What I am afraid of is that I, as a solo hunter who doesnt gank, doesnt single out marks, will have to take on missions I cannot complete. I dont expect the game to flip over backwards for me, game time is at a premium for me, so getting on for an hour or two once or twice a week would be nice to know that Iam not going to waste 30 minutes chasing a mark I cannot beat, or on the converse to that chasing a mark I can beat too easily. There is a reason I hunt marks around 150k, and that is the challenge, nothing more. Sure I have killed a few 80k or so marks, but they are too easy and I will only choose thma after a higher mark. I understand the griefing , but is it really that bad? I mean there is a lot of talk on these forums, but most people are just blowing smoke up our a$$es. Is griefing just going to stop because of these changes? Jedi will always b1tch and BH will always b1tch as long as the two professions exist.

If you hadn't caught it yet the devs have instituted a low level "risk" for BHs. Considering that the worst thing that might happen is you may not kill your Jedi that is not so bad. Especially in that if you win your target actually looses time they have spent in the game.
Considering the calls for BH Skill box loss, Time restrictions on pulling missions and whatnot. Be glad all they did was make MBHs work for a living. And again if you cannot solo a Jedi by yourself as an MBH. Then maybe you need to talk to your community about ways they are accomplishing that on live servers right now. I can tell you the #1 response will be "Known when to engage and when to let the jedi wear themselves out more".
I am just trying to get some of these conv. past the point of "Grrr I cannot gank/grief anymore". When it comes to removal of the jedi names from the terminal you may want to look inside the BH community rather than external sources. It is greifing that brought these changes pure and simple. I would neversuggest all BH do this. But the fact is there has been aHighly visible albeit smallportion of the BH community continually griefing lvling paddies. Not just hunting but singling out by name calling in guildmates to finish a mission the first could not finish. Or my personal favortie hunting specific Jedi that choose not to fight them.
Again this is not attacking you or the BH community. Just the small Highly Visible segment of the community that has exploited game mechanics to single out and grief individual players or lvls of players.

There are no Knights only full template padawans.
When FRS went away so did all their bonuses."
Just because FRS is temporarily disabled doesn't mean we should pretend like it will never come back. There will be FRS soon, and probably in Pub 20 or 21.
Well it obviously is not in patch 20 or it woulda been in the PUBLISH notes. FRS is not somethign you drop in a "hotfix". Current reports for corospondents put the FRS out 2 maybe even three months.
Considering the entire FRS system has changed no one has any clue how Knights or Masters are goign to work. In those situations i doubt multi BH would be an issue. And before this gets attacked more for "what about when it comes back" well we can worry about that when it GETS HERE. Devs are trying to reach a balance where 1vs1 Jedi Paddy vs BH is a realistic propostion.Still doesn't change the fact that right now the highest lvl Jedi in the game is only a full temp padawan.They arepowerfull but not a godlike character no matter how many ways it is protested otherwise. There are MBHs right now that are able to take down full templates. This is a matter of FACT. Can't do it yourself yet? Start asking around there are those who do and are willing to help other get to that point.
And if they can be soloed. Then there is no reason to pull others along with unless you cannot handle the fight. At which point your only realy choice is to learn or go get another proffesion. Cause the BH jedi conflict will Never be EASY for EITHER side again. We have seen what happens when BHs are given cart blanche. Some abuse it soo horrendously that the entire proffesion suffers because of it.
Want to blame someone for the mandated 1vs1 combat? You may want to look in the BH community at the small portion that truely makes the rest of the BHs look bad.
Jedi will always do whatever they can to SURVIVE. BHs will alwyas do whatever they can to make money.
I would not have it any other way.
"Well it obviously is not in patch 20 or it woulda been in the PUBLISH notes. FRS is not somethign you drop in a "hotfix". Current reports for corospondents put the FRS out 2 maybe even three months."
Where are the Publish notes for Patch 20? I haven't seen them anywhere.
