Bounty Hunter Archive

Hello everyone. I am a bounty hunter. I have a few observations I would like to tell you about. Out of the last 15 missions I have accepted to hunt Jedi 10 of the Jedi ran into a house and either logged out or stayed in there for about an hour. Bounty hunters need a Master Bounty skill that allows us to place an explosive charge on a protected house or guild hall. This should allow the bounty hunter to enter the building as to allow a chance to hunt the vermin Jedi. If you have not noticed the Jedi hang out right outside many starports wielding their sabers and wearing their robes. In part I suspect due to the new system of not showing names on the bounty list they can do so with full knowledge the chance is they will not be in any danger. Showing the names of the Jedi is important for numerous reasons. One being if certain jedi are being bothersome you should be able to look for them on the bounty list. As it is the jedi can do pretty much anything in plain view with very little chance that they will be the one bounty you randomly picks. Point two being in real life a bounty hunter looking at the bounty list seeing the name of a powerful jedi they know they have no chance to kill would skip that bounty. Being able to see the bounties name would make the chance of actually being able to hunt your bounty much better. Meaning you take an imperial Jedi mission. You go to your informant. You launch your probe and he/she is not online. If you were to see a jedi running around outside an Imperial towns starport wielding their saber and wearing their robe for a half an hour you could specifically target that person and know you had a chance to kill them. Point three would be bounty hunters when they kill a jedi, that jedi should loose their light saber to the bounty hunter. Bounty hunters could then display on their house wall all the light sabers with the jedis name appearing when you highlight it. The vermonous jedi in the huge numbers they are spawning on now could make another saber or quest for one. Maybe then the context of Star Wars galaxies would be in line with Jedi will be rare and very hard to become and not the product of mass production as they are now.

Excuse me but if the devs were to follow your suggestions it would open up a lot of problems.

First of all, in regards to the house, if the devs allow one profession to begin to break into and/or destroy houses, other professions would demand it as well and would be right to demand it. How would you like it if a master jedi chased you into a safe house or blew out the wall on your house? Even worse, the smugglers could argue that they should be able to break into a private house and steal things. After all, this would be very in line with the spirit of the game, smugglers are thieves.

Secondly, taking the light saber. This would not be in any way fair unless the jedi got to keep the weapon of any bounty hunter they killed with his/her name displayed. Sith jedi would love trophies of their kills. if you want to set up a trophy case, buy daggers or swords and have them renamed as the jedi you killed.

I understand you are frustrated but what you are suggesting will just not work and is actually rather ridiculous.

ok i want to start off by saying that this is not a jedi complaining about how bounty hunters always attack him, or about how i hate bounty hunters. i am just a star wars fan who is really dissapointed about what soe has done to a great game. i just recently became a jedi, and i want to express how dissapointed i am about how this game basically turned into jedi vs bh. pre cu, i would always get buffed and go out to dathomir as a tkm and destroy all the rancors there. now i cant do that anymore, because now i die to even the weakest thing in the game. i am posting on the bh forums because i want this bickering to end between bhs and jedi. i think that if sony really cared about what is going on in this game. they would make it much more than just jedi and bh. i know that there are some honarable bhs out there who will understand what i say. i think that all of the professions should ban together to get sony to make it to where all of the professions were playable and fun to have. the reason i play this game is because its star wars, but star wars is so much more than just jedi, and bhs, its about the far reaches of space, strange aliens, and really cool creatures. am i right? sony just seems to think that star wars just revolves around jedi, in a way it does, but in a much broader way its a way to escape to a galaxy far far away and have fun. i already know the oppinions on what jedi would think. but i want to know the oppinions of what bounty hunters think on what would make this game better. weather its ways of improving the jedi-bounty hunter relationship, or ways of getting other professions involved in the game. post it and maybe just maybe we can convince the devs at soe to do that. but since they never listen, this is probably a waste of time. but i still want to know.

i understand what u say. im the bigget star wars freak ever, n i agree with what u say. i think the time line where the game is meant to be isnt realistic. in this time all jedi would be killed on sight by imperials, i also think sith should be brouht into the game and they should have diffrent powers to light jedi. thats the problem with a game though aint it, can u imagine a good jedi slkugeting wookies all day i dont think so.

But as we all know this isnt star wars its just EQ with aliens
