Please tell me how you figure there will ever be a point in time when we'll know who we're hunting, but we won't know how much they're worth. That would be nicer than what the patch notes indicated, but that isn't what they said. While you're idea may have been in good faith to try to help yourself and others out, it made absolutely no sense since the changes were listed to be implemented in the same patch. You sir are the one who needs to learn how to read and not just see what you want to see.
He's saying that on the last day (or at least soon before that) of having names and payouts on the terminals, write down the name and payout of every Jedi you find on there. On a piece of paper.On your desk. Keep the list.
Then, after this patch comes out, you get a mission on Jedi X...you follow the waypoints from your droid. When you get within sight of Jedi X you see her (or his) name. You look at the list you made today and see if this Jedi's name is on it.
Then you say to yourself, "On July 5th (or whatever day you took down the info), Jedi Joe Schmoe was worth 138k...its been 2 weeks, Joe is probably worth X amount now"
Armed with the knowledge you have from preparing for the day of not knowing names and payouts you will then either proceed with the slaying, or drop the mission and try again. Is it as good as you have it now? No, is it better than nothing? Yes. As Aeschyl said, it can't hurt...it can only help.

Please review the entire thread before responding. The first thing I mentioned is that even without double xp, it is very easy to gain over 500k Jedi xp an hour. Having a dated list, even if it's a day old, cannot accurately tell you how many skills a Jedi has. I don't know about you guys, but (if I remain a BH) I'm going to attack every single mark Iapproach if these changes go through. I'm not going to check some old list, guess what the Jedi might be at now, and decide to back down. There is no list necessary if you're going to at least attempt every task set before you. I'd rather give something my best shot than not even try for fear of failure. A bounty hunter loses nothing if they fail their mission. In this new system, why would you chose not to try based on something you read on an old list?

LMAO!! Hopeless. I'd advise peeps to take Aeschyls advice and and see that it wont impede in your hunt, it CANT do any bad!! It can only help if only a little, it can only help. Man, some hardcore ego and stubborness there even when wrong.

So...would you back down from somebody based on reading your old list of how much they once were worth?
I'm just saying I wouldn't. I prepare for all Jedi the same, no matter how much they're worth(or used to be worth). I give every fight my best effort. I won't back down and not even attempt to fight a Jedi just because of what some old list tells me. What does a bounty hunter have to lose by trying? Some pride? Are you so proud that you'd rather not try than risk failure based on something you read off an old list?

umm, ok
you keep thinking that
Keep thinking what? That you're a moron for thinking they'd implement these changes seperately when in the missing patch notes, they said this:
"Profession: Bounty Hunter
NPC Bounty missions will now work properly. The Mark will now be of appropriate difficulty based on the difficulty of the mission
Moved Player Bounty Hunting to the Master Bounty Hunter skill Box
Bounty Hunter Jedi missions (1) no longer list Jedi names and (2) prevent you from determining Jedi’s level via mission payout"
Yeah...how do you figure there will be a point where you'll know who you're hunting, but not how much they're worth? Wake up man.

I read the entire thread before responding, thanks. Please open your mind and accept that someone else's idea might have some merit.
If you're going to tackle every task set before you, why did you also say in your original post: "there is no possible way to correctly gauge the skills of a Jedi who is dedicated to his or hergrind unless you know how much they're worth."
If you're only interested in the hunt and giving your best shot what does it matter to youwhether or not you can"correctly gauge the skills of a Jedi"(your words from your original post, again) You're claiming that on the one hand you don't like the changes coming ("nerf" as you put it) but on the other hand you don't care because you lose nothing if you fail your mission and you'd rather give your best shot than not try for fear of failure.
Lastly, you hunt how you want, it doesn't effect me in the least. For that matter, this patch doesn't hurt me in the slightest either, I'm looking forward to it.

I applaud your spirit! Again, given that your of this opinion, why do you care about the changes in the way missions will be listed on the terminals? It's an interesting dichotomy in that you will fight anyone, regardless of their skill level, because you prepare for Jedi Master's and Initiates the same...yet you dont' want to not know what your mark's skill level is going into the fight.
You've said twice you've got nothing to lose for trying, and you're right. So why do you think that losing names and skill levels is a "nerf" to you? It doesn't add up.
It's a "nerf" because I know I'll finally be getting to my marks and they'll be the same faction as me. I could care less what the pay of the Jedi is. I'd like to know who it is I'm hunting. I guess I just have a different mentality than you when it comes to who I'll fight. I'm not going to back down from a challenge because I think the odds aren't in my favor. Even if I don't win, I'll still know that I gave it my absolute best attempt. To not even try for fear of failure is very sad when you've got nothing to lose.
