Kashyyk was obviously designed for jedi. Blixtev stated that no names no waypoints on Kash was a "design decision" Next as iv killed7 jedi post-20 on the trails they will just ban me.

No waypoints on Kashyyyk was a design decision after waypoints worked on Kashyyyk but were totally bugged because they couldnt handle instances. The decision at that point was to either revamp the waypoint system or make up a story of why they dont work - SOE chose to go the quick'n'dirty fix route and kept them from delivering buggy results instead of fixing the results. Not so much of a design decision than a priority / resource decision. But "design decision" always sounds nicer than "bug coverup"

I honestly believe that the devs are increasing our loot and npc lvl's to keep us awayfrom low lvl jediso that they can grind away peacefully (while AFK) on Kashyyyk.








and, you think it will work?

If it means getting good loot drops that could promise huge returns, you bet. Many bounty hunters may find NPC missions boring, but I made 2 million just grinding the investigation branch from level 2 through 4. Not to menitonI looted 2armor attachments worth over 1 mil each. I think many BH's believe they hunt Jedi for the money. They either lack the ability to see the return vs investment component in hunting Jedi, or they are really doing it for what many suspect; hunting Jedi for the fun of PvP or other less desirable reasons.

Yeah, but explain the no names. The no names specifically was a "design decision", im not too concerned about no waypoints, which instance would be nice, but these jedi are getting dumb ^_^. Iv found ALL my kash jedi in the wookie spawn or the ryatt cloner.

Yeah I know about tabbin' But, I am not traveling an entire planet hoping I will target my bounty by tabbing.


I bet Jedi would be upset if theycould cloakon every planet; but, for one. It is no different for a bh that can track on all planets; but, Kashyyyk.

Coulldnt agree more. Another cheap SOE mindtrick to keep us paying for this crappy gamehas hit the BHs ...again.


I honostly can't understand why the Devs keep plowing this game down the drain? There will be nothing in the galaxy than jedi son. It has become THE regular profession. It is the most exploited/cheated profession in the game, and the most hated too.


And the Devs let them get away with it.


While they play cheap mindtricks on us to lure us to stay for another (awsome)patch....while the bugs and cheaters in the game are let undone.

I remember when i was doing Investigation, lol

10min Shuttle wait if i was unlucky from Kaadara, 70% of the time i had to drop by Corillia and maybe another 10min wait, then find out that the mark hadnt spawned and i had to make my way back to Kaadara and repeat..

When i found the mark i was unbuffed so had a good time doing /torsoShot and /bleedingShot, running off and hiding behind a tree and lett the DoT´s do their work and then finish off with /torsoShot or something..

When i was a fresh Bounty Hunter the Investigation missions were do bugged so i had made 0444 when i started it for real

Aekeem, since the Combat Upgrade at least, there are no such things as 36k Enraged Rancor missions or 36k Janta missions. I think the maximum payout for a mission now, from a mission terminal, is about 7k.


The good news is that everyone who participates gets that amount.


I repeat, the bounty hunter missions are the only missions in the game where you can get a 30k payout in PvE.
