So they want only 1 BH to take a Jedis mission? What happens when the Jedis BH friend just holds the mission so no one can get it?

They want it to be 1v1 fights. Not only 1 mission at a time. Doing that wouldmostly guarantee a free ride to knightdom.

Hopefully there will be multiple missions generated for a Jedi still. It would be impossible for Bounty hunters to group up on the same bounty if there is no way to determine one mission from the next.


Perhaps removing names will be enough. If multiple bounty hunters come for a Jedi it would be by coincidence.


I believe there would be too many exploits involved in locking a Jedi and Bounty hunter into a one on one fight where they cannot be attacked by other players.

Have the name delivered either after you've launched an arakyd or after you've talked to the SpyNet informant. The first is probably better because it makes it even harder to exploit.


Actually, to *really* prevent exploiting, you could make the TEF not activate until one has talked to a SpyNet operative. Meaning that sitting on a guildhall roof looking for a mission is impossible. Or activate it after the arakyd's gone back home.


(But, seeing as it's still possible for the "dedicated" to exploit this, you'd really have to do something else to the # of mission caps)

I personally think the only way around the exploit of holding a Jedi mission is to have it clear on logout. I know this would screw over some players that like to stalk there prey, but it would prevent even the most dedicated from holding there jedi mission.


Also lots of nice ideas in here but I can't ever see grouping for a jedi mission being allowed in the future

This is seroius. Most bounty hunters are probally going to give up bounty hunting with the "no names" in effect. I doubt the remaining will have the time/patience/expansion to kill those exploiting being cheap n00bs with the wookies on kashyyyk...





na.....ill still be hunting NPC's. they may not be as much fun but at least i get paid.

I like the idea actually, outside of the issue of Kashyyyk.


Right now, a Jedi's name is the only thingwe can use to try to find him/her on Kashyyyk.


If they remove the payouts as well as the name, then I'll probably say screw it and stick with NPC missions. I don't mind a challenge, but wasting my time for a 50k payout and a ton of trash talk for killing a new padawan isn't my idea of fun, and I seriously doubt it is for the Jedi either.

Just need the arakyd droid to supply the name along with the planet.

All great ideas.


But one more thing. How come when I'm grouped with a Jedi, and a BH comes after him/her, I can't help out my group member? That's just stupid.


If you allowed people the Jedi groups with to fight against the BH, a perfect counter-balance is to allow BHs to group together to take out Jedi.


I think Leatherneck Rule #1 is probably the greatest idea in the entire world.

Good point, I'm sure the devs never gave this a thought.
