Bounty Hunter Archive
Thread: For those that think anonymous missions will be so great, an exercise for you, then report back.
Alot of you are acting like this is unheard of. Here, I'll say it here too:
I've seen plenty of movies and read plenty of stories where the hiring individual refused to disclose the name, but told him wherethe markwould be and when. BH goes to that spot, and when the time comes, takes out the person in that spot at that time.
Here, we have the convenience of a bio-sig, NPC intel, and other player intel. Really, all most BH's use are just the bio-sig, so it really makes no difference.
Why do we need a name? In fact, it makes it too personal. We don't care about a name. All we know is that it's our mark. Marks don't have names. Separation of job vs. humanity needs to happen, and knowing a name threatens that.

Hmm, I like the idea of a no-bounty list. I just wish people would roleplay their characters more often. If BH risked getting on the terms for failed missions and I took an anon mission only to find its a guild jedi I'd be forced to kill them or be hunted myself. great RP material there but no doubt many BH and Jedi will whinge about being put in that posistion.
As for the bringing them in alive, that wont happen. Jedi will whing about having thier play time halted as they are dragged to an Official, and what if the BH decides to just leave the Jedi in thier cage. I'd love to have this in game, but as said before, people dont RP enough and complain too much.
sounds nice enough on paper but what do you think the people who already enjoy harassing jedi are going to do?

I almost never post in here cuz I dont want to stir the pot and respect that this is you guys forums and Im no a BH but I did want to mention something I thought interesting. The bounty mentions dead or alive but BHs only bring in jedi dead. I wonder if it would not add some good content if BHs had a option to restrain jedi and turn them in alive for a higher bounty. This could be tweaked all kinds of ways for great content. Jedi can be restrained as the high end hunters had techniques for dealing with FS people, I.E. force cages, tranquilizers etc... So say for example said Bounty Hunter loves the hunt and is challenged by the possiability of being able to bring a jedi in alive to collect a higher bounty or reward. He completes any number of quests related to this and gains trank gun, force cages or other cool jedi hunting related stuff to assist in the live capture of mark. He then goes and hunts his mark and manages the incap with the trank gun or incaps with regular weapon and has to run up and risk restraining the jedi or such to get him back to his force cage. He then can stuff his passenger in his vehicle or drag him if he likes and takes him to the nearest imperial authority who take posession of the prisoner. As you can see this has limitless content possiabilities for both sides . Just thought I'd get you guys take on that.

BH hunt from the basis of DNA, and have no interest in my name unless of course it's personal griefing.
I think it is interesting I have the jedis DNA but not his name..
silly
Altogether, the amount of attention and pampering Jedi get is just disgusting. Next SOEis goingto start mailing pacifiers to anyone who unlocks Jedi. Yeah Yeah BH cry too, whatever, Jedi have NO reason to cry....sorry you justdon't. IMHO SOE is just fanning the fiery animosity between BH and Jedi by their recent actions and alterations to both professions.
