NO Jedi, none of us, has anything vaguely resembling a right to gripe, moan or complain about bottom-feeding anymore.


If you're a Jedi, or you have a friend who's a Jedi and he gets geeked by a BH, I don't care if he only has novice saber, shut the hell UP with that bottom-feeding nonsense.





I agree 99% of my complaints about bh went out the window with pub 20. If you get killed by a bh or multiple bh's who happened to have your mission tough luck.


I don't have issues with multiple bh's i have issues with multiple jedis going after the same jedi as teams. Its suposed to be a 1 on 1 If another bh randomly accepts the mission as well and just happens to try to collect his money to then thats just how it is.

So I pull a mission from the term, see its on Kash, so I head over. I randomly check the right instance on my second try, i go town and tab, lands on a Jedi Knight. I don't get any /duel /endduels so I know he's afk. So I take my time and just start shooting. After I incap and DB one of his group members calls me a bottom feeder. Yup bottom feeding on a 221k mission who had a knight tag up, whom i also got a 171k payment bonus from the BH guild and about 8k investigation exp.

Its definately bottom feeding when you randomly pull a mission to an afk jedi that you get paid almost half a million credits for.

If that's bottom feeding, call me a scavenger, cause i can get rich doing this with little effort.





Nice post. Except the red part. Not every Jedi does that. I just look if the "head" of someone follows me (you know what I mean lol).

But what I dont understand: Was the mission like 50k on the terms, plus 171k after the db and an extra 171k as bonus? making it 392k in total?

Or was it just 50k plus 171k making it 221k in total? If it was 221k in total I would say it was "just" a 221 sp template. No bonus for not being killed by a BH in a long time. But I am not a BH, dunno how exactly the new system works reward-wise.

If you get any /duels or not doesnt say anything about your mark, only about the other Jedi standing next to your mark. If your mark does a /duel on you, you do not get a message at all - your mark just gets a message along the lines of "You cannot duel Ohetie because he can attack you already". Just a heads up - just because you dont get a /duel, your mark might have done it, just the bystanders didnt do it.

If your mark uses /duel you never see anything.


So it doesn't tell you if they are afk.


It's only non-marks that you see the duel request from.

i don't know what the mission was on the term, that number doesn't matter anything between (i believe) 40 and 50k is a jedi. You never get that number. When you kill your bounty the mission reward is like it was pre-20 based on skill point investment, so he was a jedi with a 221 SP template

I believe the extra 171k was some sort of bonus due to my target not being killed in a while or him having high vis, i'm not sure, but in total I got 392k from his death.

the jedi was flukie

as for the extra 171k i'm not sure, but i guess it was a bonus cause he hasn't been killed in a while?

as for me making the assumption as to the /duel /endduel, i suppose you're correct, but i usually get a barrage of them from players that are at their keyboard whenever i run down the trail.

as for visibility, i thought that jedi couldn't kill npcs cause they'd get vis? if so, wouldn't them killing the ferals add to their vis?

I think that's confusing a lot of people... the system message you get gives the old bounty message with the amount listed on the terminal, then congratulates you on the "bonus" payed by the guild, THENtells you the total amount deposited in your bank.


bounty + bonus = bank deposit


I've collected8 Jedi bounties since pub 20 and none of them has actually paid more than their temp would've been worth before pub 20.

No I think you did get a straight up 221K, I didn't get anymore than 226K in this kill, it was 51K mission.
