Thread: Bounty Hunter problem
My jedi character has LS 0/0/4/3, force heal 1/0/0/0, force defence 0/1/0/0.
My jedi character couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag!
The visibility system jedi are being forced to use, was designed around players training their jedi solo. Problem is that it's a pre-CU system of visibility that's being used in a post-CU combat enviroment where weak padawan jedi must group with other players and get massive visibility. Yes. It's not fair and it's unballanced, but it just happens to be a perfect way for the dev's to manage the jedi population by making so it's now very hard to for complete your jedi template. This means fewer jedi knights in the game.
Join a Group on the Wookie Planet...Plenty of up and commers there, just don't go afk grinding, as we BH's love that. The amount of exp you gain in a group is typically worth the risk of vis. Just plant a House nearby if not on wookie planet. And Don't drop all your old skills to advance faster..unless your willing to accept CL 80 hunters comming for you, b/c you'd be any easy kill at that point.
You'll be getting Double Exp for the next weeek abouts, so best time for it.
Oh, yeah.../say "typical banter about it not suppose to be easy".
If your on Lowca ...mabye We will run into one another.

This is an issue the development team has refused to address, once again.... it's to make it very hard to complete your jedi template.

My character is a weak level 73 padawan and at the moment, there's 2 master bounty hunters hunting him. Wether they are lamer re-spec MBH or not, is not the issue. What is the issue is that there are a lot of master bounty hunters who just hate jedi so much that they specificly target low level padawan. This is an issue the development team has refused to address, once again.... it's to make it very hard to complete your jedi template.
First of all, not all BH Respec's are lamers....Just like not all Jedi Respec's are sploiters.
CL 73 is sufficent enough to defend, and even kill BH's I know from the many fights I have had with you guys. As it is now...Just as you are new to Jedi, many are new to Bounty Hunter...You have to Learn the Profession before going after the Bigger game. Asides..Higher CL Jedi are Generally not worth the effort as our chances diminish greatly to beat them. I am doing it for the Fun and Money..and Choose 90-120K marks on Average as it is optimal for my Skill.
It really isn't suppose to be easy to get a Finished template either. As I said before, Group up, and grind like mad. If you pay attention, you will have no problems with BH's as you can jet out of there, or have a buddy bust out a Speed and sport you away.
Here's a little bit of info that might intrest you.
Remember when the holo grind was removed and the FS village added? That idea was the idea of Lucas Arts. George Lucas wanted to see more jedi in the game, so he wanted a new system of unlocking jedi. SOE was very opposed to this idea, but Lucas Arts won out and changes were made.
2 months later a high level executive, in an interview on SWG stratic, complained that jedi was too easy to get with in the game.
How did I get this informationabout George Lucas wanting more jedi in the game? I had a friend on the server I play who works for LFL (Lucas Films and Licensing), who just happened to have a good friend who worked in the PR department of Lucas Arts.
SOE does not like jedi and is hostile to jedi being in the game. When SWG was in it's design stages, SOE was even opposed to there being a jedi profession in the game. Once again it was Lucas Arts that won the decision.

Um.. do you smoke dope? Your character is a high level padawan. You character can deal damage if attacked by a BH. My character can't do any damage, and with pub 19, I'll be nerfed again!
I do agree that not all MBH are jerks. I would be the first person to tell you that some of the best people I have met in swg are MBH, however, this doesn't mean that there isn't a huge problem with MBH going after low paying missions because they hate jedi players with a passion. Heck, one MBH thats hunting me said that jedi players have big ego's!
