Instead of complaining, think of a way to fix it because the devs obviously cant think of anything esle, they just didnt want to the paddies being killed so frequently.

Remove group vis. Job done. Then if a paddy is on terms and killed, tough, stupid them, no excuse.Oh, hold on, they did remove group vis .....

Why would the devs not want paddies to be killed as often? That's the most non sensical remark you've made in a night of buffoonery. Why does it matter what level they are, unless you suggest the devs have a bias to see all chars as getting an easy route to jedi. You might as well suggest just removing player bounties.

I suppose,as soon all chars would be jedi in this odd world of yours, then they'd only have one prof to work so hard to break repeatedly, so you may have a point ....

Yes! killing padawan is boring.

However, I don't think they can allow us to choose the difficulty of the mark without promoting a culture where padawan get repeatedly ganked and knights are only rarely hunted. I understand why they made the change and the unfortunate side effect is that I spend a lot more time killing newbies.

Oh well.. - Looks like junior is going to have to take a bullet.

But they can allow you to chose the minimun pay you are going to accept... if you choose 220k, you will not hunt padawnas, only full templates, and if you choose a minimun of 20k, you will hunt anything betwen a paddy and a full template, at random.

Zorraman - good point. They could easily implement a minimum pay system where we only hunt knights, or if we leave it wide open it is only luck of the draw. I cannot picture any self-respecting bounty hunter in any sort of world not knowing how much he is going to get paid before a hunt. In a profession where your life is on the line the payout better be worth the risk.

I bet when the FRS comes into play again, they will allow names for the high ranking jedi, because they are technically considered 'notorious', so multiple players can take them on.

Because come on, 1,2,3, or even 5 BH's I would not think would be able to touch a Jedi Master, lol

I'm thinking that the way they intend FRS Jedi to die is by overt gank squads since FRS Jedi should be perma-overt.

I also think that if you pull a mission on a FRS Jedi and he's being attacked by overts, the BH TEF will kick in and he will only be attackable by the BH (you).

This is the only logical direction that the recent changes can go.

During my shortened play session earlier today, I was able to find only 1 Jedi (after grabbing 4 missions). Found him in a guild hall, and took him down with little effort. My reward? 25k The poor guy just got Jedi the day before. While I did go through a lot of probots and seekers before I finally got a bounty, putting him in the negative before even getting a box is pretty cruel, even for us Bounty Hunters. A MBH/MP should never have to stoop that low... And the seek name ability didn't work at all, so I couldn't even ask others if they knew who the guy was once I was on the planet.

When you say 25k do you mean EXTRA payout or did it drop the payout from the originally posted pay? I've noticed that Jedi missions now generate random payouts over 30000 so what happens when a 25000 Jedi lands on the terminal?

The reward I got was 25k total. I got some message saying the the bounty hunter guild reduced my payment because the assignment wasn't tough enough. It seems the original bounty structure is still in place, we just don't know what the price is for the Jedi until he/she is dead. So us BH are really going in blind. If the seeker gives a name, that can help a bit, but if not, BH could get a squat 25k or be up against a full template who eats MBH for snacks.

I dropped a 98K jedi in five shots last night. I havn't touched a jedi that low since right after the implemented the scaling system and I decided a certain geo-jedi deserved some exp loss.

When the hate tells rolled in, I must say, I took some sick satisfaction out of saying "Can't chose, missions are all random now".

I think several jediwho whined for these changes underestimated the amount of bounty-hunters not taking marks below a certain payout range. Once they fix the bugs we're pained with now, five refreshes tops is going to give us a valid mission to pursue. Our time between missions (not counting ones were we find jedi first, take mission later) is down to extreme levels. Bottomfeeding? Never. But am I going to surrender a mission because the jedi I just tracked appears to be low level? Not a chance.

I'm agreeing with you Caix. I'd never take a mission on a jedi who is under 100k. Just doesn't make any sense. The NPC missions are more of a fight, pay betterand they can drop phat loot.

I think the devs made the change so that the innocent noob jedi would get reamed. The knight jedi of course were all for it since the noob BH would be forced to face them.
