Thread: Why /duel ?
or something along that effect.
Actually, for the Jedi, the duel option still exists in the radial menu. If you try to use it, you get a system message saying that you cannot duel this person because they are able to attack you.
I used it the other day. A friend of mine and I were doing the Melee Accuracy quest, about to start and a BH rolls up. We politely say that we'd love to have fun with him, but we're kinda busy could he please wait. The BH isn't too interested.
My friend assumes the BH is there for him and offers to pay his bounty. The BH then proceeds to try to convince us thatmy friend is worth 500k on the terms. I guess he figures that Jedi never do any research about how BH really works. Anyway, he's annoying us, and I notice he keeps looking at me. I tell my friend to just kill him, but he still wants to negotiate. I tell my friend (in spatial) that after he gives the cash that he should /duel to make sure that the BH dropped the mission, and I'm going to do the same, to make sure that he's not trying to extort the wrong person. I wait 5 secs and /duel. Wow, looks like this schmuck is after me (btw my friend had not paid him). Meanwhile the BH is trying to tellme that the /duel trick doesn't work. Again see my previous point about research. I tell the guy that he's pissed me off enough that I'm just gonna fight him, he needs to earn these credits if he wants them. He begs for the cash while I take my food and tell him to just get on with it. He attacks. Funniest part is,he had me. I ran outof force and had to pull my trandoshan rifle out, when I did that, he ran. I couldn't stoplaughing.
Anyway, in these circumstances, I don'tfeel I exploited in the slightest. I warned the guy I was gonna do it, gave him enough time to attack after the warning and he just persisted in trying to lie about it.My only regret is that his body kept sliding away when I got a KD otherwise it would have been a DB insteadof him running.

Just a quick question: Why do Jedi use "/duel" to see if a BH has their mission?
I guess abetter question would be; What message do you get back when you "/duel" a BH who has your mission?

Back in the day Bh's used to *gasp* exploit jedi by running up to them with their misison and dueling them, then starting their attack. This gave the bh a huge advantage as the jedi had to accept the duel to do damage back to the bh and then the bh would just duel again. So it was Bounty hunters that caused the devs to change the system so you cant duel someone who has a tef on you.
