Thread: This System Sux!!!!
I'm up to atleast 20 jedi marks on kassh, hence 20 wasted arakyd's. 6-10 jedi offline. And 3 knights...which I got beat downs from. I refuse to go MCM in order to play my profession against full templates. If I can't beat you with MBH-M.Carb-0404 Pistoleer then good for you. But this is ridiculous. You either can't hunt jedi that are on a level with you, or you gotta be some damned FOTM BH to hope to compete with the Knights. I can't drop M.Carbineer because my gun owns my gun and have to have MBH now. What's the point.
I hopped on my jedi, killed one bh, then went ld during the fight with another and he got the kill while I was reloading. Before that I was whooping him, and the first bh didn't even last 30 seconds. This patch has thoroughly aggravated me. I can't see how any BH can like it, nor can I see how any pre-CU full template jedi can like it. Hell I don't think it's fun getting BH after BH walking into the slaughter. Granted one killed me, but I lost connection for him to do so. BH's left and right are going to quit or respec. All the while the pissant whiners get to afk grind to their complete templates on kassh then run around and claim their uber cause they got handed jedi on a silver platter.
I dunno. If this game wasn't Star Wars I would have given up on it long ago. But the Jedi count on Kauri is over 600 easilly, before this patch it was difficult to find a mission under 210k. With these changes I just don't see any reason to hunt anymore. Maybe they'll give us smugglers to hunt, maybe that'll be fun again. But I have a smuggler too, CL 54. Just as a business toon. Glad feign death works. And what's my motivation to kill a smuggler? Is their population out of fricken control?
/sigh

Thats without a doubt the best carbine I have ever seen. Very nice!
And yep, the whole system is pure crapola !
Yeah. I'm playing around with a character builder right now. Trying to see if anything else would be good to lump m.carbineer with. Hmm....maybe M.Smuggler-M.Carbineer. Last ditch with my gun would seriously own.

Glad you have another option man but I ask Sony, what do the rest of us do beside quit?
I do feel sorta sorry for some BH, I had not been hunted for several months, never showing off or dueling in starports but last night I logged on and did only six faction mission for some FP I needed.
Within 20 minutes the first BH arrived, his ambush was OK but he was clearly not experienced enough to take on a full template. After I kiiled him we got together and dueled a few times to try and improve his tactics. The second arrived as I was about to log off, I was in my house but came outside, this one was CL75 and no BH of this level can hope to stand against any jedi worth his salts in a 1 v 1 straight fight, I do feel they need to employ surprise/alpha strike tactic...the point is tho that these BH previous to Pub 20 would have selected a target more suitable to their abilities (please do not take this as an criticism, some more experienced BH are more than able to take on and beat a full template knight). Now however it is more of a lottery.
I feel that it was easier to try and control jedi population by targeting jedi who were not fully established with their skill sets, I do not personally think this publish was a good one for BH. I was glad for the excitement however.
For the record, I disapprove of the Kassh AFKer's, people using the offline method of avoiding attacks and while I think running to a house is valid I do not approve of people dropping a house at each mission.
Whats so great about that gun? A Proton carbine with a 12% speed slice has base dps of 369 and 85 sac. the sac is more important and is lower than yours. Plus if you use a Speed power up, one with say 16% speed reduction you get over 420 base dps. Then add your M.Carb mods. The accuracy will go down to -10 or so with the 16% speed pup, but your going to eat crispic when you goto fight that jedi and get a +40 to accuracy.
I think you need to look into a better gun, minimal investment really since you get a proton carb free from the wook world. Ive got over 600dps and all I have is marksmen carb 1 and 2.

Am i the only BH who likes these changes? because i do.
It makes me laugh how Bounty Hunters Foamed at the mouth when the Jedi had the heal nerf and as soon as we get our system changed, everyone just whines, whines, whines. Most Bounty Hunters are just upset because they cant 'stack' anymore and are actually challangedfor once when they fight a Jedi which it should be. There also sad because they cant gank the same Jedi over and over again.
I love this new system and i love how you can now see the faction of the Jedi.
I have played the game for nearly 2 years now and this is one of the better changes i have seen.
"Do we have a glass for that whiner?"
