Personally, I'd love to see the BH's get tougher marks with bigger rewards, but I also understand that that server economy could be hurt from constant high end drops.


Possible solutions include (For Keeping the High End drops but...):

1. Several Day timers between being able to take a Boss Mark mission.

2. Require Boss Marks to be killable only by larger groups. After all, BH's are soloing enough: ala Jedi missions.

3. Make high end drops rare on Boss Marks (don't like this one, but its certainly a possiblity).

4. Make the Boss Marks despawn after a short time(30 mins) so you only get one chance per mission to kill him.

5. Any combination of the above.


Like I said, I support High End BH content. Its cool. I hope that the Devs find a happy place where they're comfortable with implementing it.

I think roughly you said "We're getting love that has everything to do with BH and nothing to do with Jedi" and while this fills that statement, i can hardly think some better npc missions would have you as happy as you seemed on that post awhile back.


Well, you realize that BHs have been asking for more challenging marks since the game came out. It has been on the BH Top 10 for a long time.

So, being an old time BH I was very happy about it. Heck, people are already asking to nerf the loot drops saying good loot should not be the domain of a single profession. I am fighting against that though on Corr. forums.




Tanks,

Kindly tell those other Coro's to go straight to hell!

That is all.

Sincerly,






QFE

But Tanks, what of the thought of Jedi bounties. Making NPC bounties tougher (more health and a better weapon, jeez, that's original) may improve the PvE game, but many of us are here for the PvP game, which is still critically unbalanced.


Does no one realize that you're being duped? That the developers are slowly, but quite surely, take Jedi bounties away from us? We'll (well you, I likely won't) all go hunt our happy new marks, get our uber loot, forget about Jedi mark (for a little while,) and the whole Jedi population with revel in how wonderful it is not to be hunted, and that it should be a permanent part of the game!


I'm not a dome-sayer, these issues are completely obvious. The Jedi PvP game will be lost to us if we continue down this path. If that's what most/all of the BHers want, then I'm with you all the way. But somehow, Tanks, I get the feeling that if you think that anythingthat diverts attention away from Jedi for the majority of BHs is a good thing, then maybe you need to listen to the community a little more.


That's all we're fighting for on these boards these days - the Jed PvP game. How can this be priority #1?







Well the role of BH as Jedi hunter is merely a result of the only worthwhile content available to BH over the last years was hunting jedi. I started BH before the jedi and did it for the fun of hunting the mark. Personally, I am glad to see some nice content for BH that doesnt revolve around hunting jedi. NPC missions still pay pretty good, but with bugs and the 15 to 30 minutes it takes to track them down I would say these new rewards are nice. It just adds another layer to BH as a profession, diversity for the people that aren't into hunting jedi. Maybe it will mean less jedi are hunted, but what has the BH profession as a whole ever really done to stop the progression of jedi? There are still more and more jedi everywhere. I think hunting jedi is probably the best content in the game, but it shouldnt be our only content.

don't let them nerf the loot drops. i think every profession should have some sort of profession only loot as incentive to go that profession. I bet the jedi were saying nerf the loot. They've been the only ones lately who can go get killer loot and now they are jealous lol

Something to consider with the loot drops from these new marks is the time it takes to kill one. From the time you get to the terminal until you get back to the terminal to start again is 15-20 min at a minimum. It's not like we can stand somewhere and kill, loot, repeat to farm this stuff up. Furthermore,the rate of boss marksI'm seeing is roughly 1 in 4 or 1 in 5. Over several days of playing I've only done about 25 of the newmissions. Wow, I've killed 25 mobs and received loot. How quickly can a good soloer loot from the Canyon Corsair POI? How quickly can a good team farm Night Sisters? A lot more than 1 every 15-20 min. Leave our loot drop rates alone. We've had 2 years of next to no loot drops from our marks. We finally get some and other people start to whine....

This is the way it should be for every profession, I would love to see profession specific loots and missions for items like these. How about some Commando Armor, or Carbineer armor. Right along these lines how about the Smuggler mission terminals, with smuggler missions and items. Why would the other correspondents be bitching about, they should be asking for the same types of things for them selves. Heck you could do this for artisan and entertainer missions, sheeesh...tell those people complaining to remove their heads from whatever part of their body they have it stuck in....

Just have them add in these "Boss Missions" to normal Mission terms to... Boss Binary Pirates... Boss Mokk Chiefs... Boss Nym Pirates... ect... so you dont need to go BH to get good Loot NPC missions...However since it takes longer to track and get to our Boss missions, the BH loot should be on a slightly higher level then the normal missions.
