The best way to get a mission for a Jedi that is online is to attempt to launch the probe droid from the terminal.


Get a mission try to launch the droid. If he is offline it says it right there. If heis online it tells you you need a bio sig.


Easy as pie. not hard to find online Jedi that way.

I dont care about names or faction on the terms. But I do care about approx skill level and thats casue I'm not a mainstream BH with MBH/Mrifleman/CM. I want my carbine and battlearmor and I hate being forced to do stuff I don't like.


RP-wiase it fels wrong to mix CM and MBH, the two proffessions has very little in common and the main reason ppl mix them are purely to get certain pvp abilites. As Mcarbineer you cant win a fight with a full temp, even if CU was told to 'equalize' all combat professions.


Thats why I don't want to hunt full temps. Another reason is that it does me no good killing full temps. They dont loose any xp or are harmed by any mean by getting DBd. And I'm not a BH cause of the money it gives me so the high rewards is not attractive for me.


If there was a fair chance a Mcarb could kill a full temp (other than pure luck or coindiance) I would prolly not hunt them anyway, since they have nothign to loose by geting killed. BH is a tool to slow down jedi grinding and it is ment that jedi players who fool around and gets up on the tmers are going to be punished by that. So , I try to concetrate on population control and go after the mid-paddys as it's prolly ment to be for us Mcarbs/MBHs.


Thats why we need some indication of the jedis current skill level when we hunt him. Would be acool thingif we actaully had anything good for that Investigation tree in the MBH. An ablility to really investigate our pray and get a approx skill leveland maybe some other data in a infobox when we /examine him.


Otherwise the jedi hunt is pure russian roulette. You cant keep track of 1000's of jedi names and skill levels ingame. And since I've been a BH since publ 9, I know that some of them grind very, very fast with AFK grinding and can hit full temp in a week.

Jargal I think it is in the playng style. As an exmaple, i will not attack a jedi if I can not get him 100% by surprise and frontload 2000 points of damage (inlcuding being able to pull my pet and be fully buffed). If the attack does not fall into these parameters I don't strike. So ig he was a 50K jedi or a 225K it would not matter.I won't attack. I have kills but i have dropped4 times more missions at the moement of attack because the parameters were not just perfect.


I end up getting 60K or 225K the whole spectrum. If they fix the offline issue and the intstant corpse exploit it will be fine.

I think the problem is that the Terminals are making it harder than it has to be. Most hunt Jedi because of the challenge of hunting another player. NOT for the challenge of pulling a mission.


There's nothing fun about pulling 20 missions from a BH terminal, only to find them all offline. Yeah, we can do it, but being able to do it doesn't make it a good idea.

Once again I say that these kind of posts are by people in SOE's back pocket. They post these kind of replies to downplay the real issuses that everyone is concerned about.
