Too cool, soon I will be full template and my content becomes loot chasers. Oh well, I will wait and let you guys stalk me, and I will be ready. Bring your droids, bombs, and disposable armor. I can help you buy more, hunt me please.






They hunt you on their schedule, not yours. Why should we give you the satisfaction of hunting you when you want us to? Isn't the whole reason we are here is to hit you by surprise or when you least expect it?? That would be more fun. Having you look over your shoulder every 5 minutes. I can sense you starting to sweat when you are dueling another jedi..you never know when a BH is going to incap you then when you are down to low health. We will be expecting the hate tells then.

I've had the same thoughts. Let the jedis die of boredom.


The main plan with publ. 20 must have been to make BHs to become content for full temps jedis. Don't let them have the fun killing you, its always better to abort the mission if it's a full temp. Theres nothing to win in a fight with them, the time and costs for decay and foods areso high its not worth hunting them. They won't loose any xpby getting killed of you anyway.And furthermore it only gives them content to continue playing.


Let the jedis keep growing in numbers, go hunt the low paddys for some content for your own sake now and then. The faster the jedi grows, the faster will we get a non-jedi/timeline correct server for us real SW-fans. Then the jedis can mingle by themselves, but there will be noone to show-off for.


I'm one of those who would easily pay 100 bucks to get rid of jedi and get a timeline correct server.

/Concealshot? That is yur problem. I can kill any full temp as long as they don't have a uber saber. I don't mind the long fight. I enjoy that. My rifle is ADK'd and on my server I can get near uber armor for 500K.


I'm gonna lot like crazy AND kill Jedi. I'm gonna have the best of both worlds.

ROFLCOPTER, real sw fans. Jedi is one of the coolest parts of star wars to me. What gives you the right to say i'm not a real fan? SOunds pretty geeky to me lol.

As for paying 100 bucks to get a non-jedi server, lol. I was upset when i found out this game was gonna have a monthly fee of 15$ a month lol.


ANd how is dueling in a SP a show off? I did it as a non-jedi and i occasionaly do it as a jedi, cept as a jedi i'm a show off.


And let me tell you of the thousands of other things that breach cannon in this game. AHem: Dathomir. That's got about 1k+ cannon breaches in it alone. Want more, just ask.



Cardossk- "Why die now when you can kill them later?"
Mylako- "I kill only when i'm paid. And since No one's paid me to kill you yet, sleep tight."

Jedi die of boredom because BH won't hunt them? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I could care less if I ever saw one more BH, ever. Please do hunt NPC's and leave us the heck alone. You actually think we enjoy being hunted? I deal with it because it is part of the game. Do I like it? Nope. Have fun with those NPCs!

I know most of you have already realized this and stopped hunting jedi....well who could blame you?


It's a waste of time. Who wants to fight an hour long fight to drain a full templates force, everytime? Not to mention the drain it puts on your armor and weapons if they aren't all adk'd. The cost in droids, food, buffs, and the time isn't worth it. Definetly don't give uber joe jedi the satisfaction of being hunted and killing you quickly with his exploited saber. and don't give the cloaking wussies the opportunity to stasis you then cloak and laugh at you.


Just go for the loot, I'd say completely forget the jedi, let them nerf each other to oblivion and we'll get rich from npcs.


Let the jedi die from boredom.

You know this is exactly what SOE expects you to do, right?


1) ROTW is released and droids don't give the exact waypoint of the Jedi. Was a bug at first, but eventually got enough positive press to make it a feature. Eventually the droids are disabled completely on Kashyyyk because SOE doesn't want "content" (read "grinding")being interupted my mean ol' BH.


2) SOE reps at Fan Fest state that the BH/Jedi relationship needs some looking into.


3) Publish 20: names and payouts are removed from the terminals. A) Makes it impossible for Bounty Hunters to avoid fully templated Jedi they know they can't defeat. B) Removes the Bounty Hunter's option of matching names of previously seen Jedi to instances when they scan the terms. C) Remove group vis


The above means that every Jedi will either be C) Off the terms, B) on the terms but untrackable, or C) on the terms, trackable, but undefeatable.


4) Pub 21 introduces new NPC content.


Even if you can defeat a fully templated Jedi, you have to admit that the entire system of visibility, bounties, and XP loss has been made null and void. The bulk of full template Jedi don't give a damn about any of the above and the non-completed Jedi are either off the terms or where we can't get to them very easily. We're basically being turned into content for the big Jedi, while the little ones are being handed a BH-free grind.


So not only has the current BH/Jedi system been made ineffective, but now they're giving us new NPC content to fill the gap.


No one sees a connection?

Vcarrdosk: Some got the cash, some dont. Yes, I got 100 bucks to spend to get rid of jedi and i sure would use it for that. If 15 bucks is too much for you for this game, stop playing. And jedi duel show-offs outside SPs are totally not SW! That regular professions duel in towns are not any problem for me. It's like the old Wild-west duels. But jedi are supposed to keep low and stay honorable. That must be a part you have missed with jedi.

IT NOT UNBALANCED, YOUR JUST BAD. Jedi are so easy to kill, but its morons likes you who run up to jedi when they are fully fooded and ready. Here take a tip. Watch them. Don't run up and attack the first 5 mins you see them. Stalk them wait until they are vulnerable, Jedis go out and hunt and pvp and etc. Watch them kill a couple lairs so you know their force is down alot. BE SMART. Most Jedi duel people alot, wait till they have a quarter health left and one shot them. Of course your not going to win against jedi a 1 on 1 if hes prepared Unless your a MCM or theira respec Jedi. You were never meant to. In design They are meant to be1.5X more powerful then you and no matter how much you whine it won't change that. They kind of grinded alot longer than you did.But you have the power to attack him whenever you want. Use it.




lol you have any idea how many rifleman/bh run up within 10m of me and open fire. Pretty much all of them which I never understand after I'm done killing them I usually tell them they should try attacking me from max range to start the fight

You do all realise that if the loot is any good at all we will never see a Jedi again as they will all be on their alts looting the NPCs.

Dude, what makes you think Bountry Hunters were ever meant to beat Jedi? that's the physcis of the universe in which we play. Bounty Hunters were never really meant to beat Jedi. they are designed as high-level cannon fodder for force slinging commandos, that's all. they will always be fodder for Jedi, always. This is becasue Jedi are always cast as the god-like super warrior of star wars. Dude, star wars is all about Jedi. remember, the movie was called Return of the Jedi , not return of the Bounty Hunter...what planet are you from anyway?


I respec'ed to BH just to hunt Jedi, and If I can't kill 'em, I will at the very least make life miserable for them 'cause I'm so sick of hearing lightsabers go off all around me. The real title of this game is Star Wars Galaxies: Bountry Hunter vs Jedi anyway, and we are the sterotypical villians Star wars is a morality play and that means bad guys always loose. Bouty Hunters in real life use a whole team of people to take down their targets. Again, this is the word of mouth marketing strategy implicit in the design of the game, but the only way you'll win is to group with tons of people it takes tons of time to recruit and organize and run away 'cause their fickle and don't follow orders. Maybe once in a while you'll get genuinely lucky and find a group that will follow yor lead, but they'll soon get tired of it and you're back to square one looking for a gourp again. SOE likes it that way 'cause you'll try again next month. You're just gonna have to be smarter than they are and follow them and wait for the right time to attack. Get 'em when they're tied up with something else, and don't stand still when you attack like eveyone else does.


Pretty soon, you'll switch over to Jedi yourself and the galaxy will populated exclusively by Jedi with nothing to do.
