Bounty Hunter Archive

It wouldnt technically be forced pvp for everyone. Only those that choose to take a mission from Jabba or those that decide to smuggle some spice would be at risk (and they would know it) Its a calculated risk most smugglers long to participate in.

This idea could so easily be expanded to other worlds and groups. Imagine working for the corsec or perhaps the singing clan wish to have a shipment of medical supplies delivered pass the imperial blockade.

The possibilites are endless. And yet this post and my idea will soon be on page 3 while another post screaming about jedi vs bh post takes over page 1.

*lol*

How were BH supposed to hunt down Jedi if there just were none to hunt?

But yes, i agree to some degree. Jedi were primaly hunted by the Empire. So i want be able to get my Jedi missions on my local imp faction mission terminal! And only if the Empire fails to complete the task for quite a while will the Jedi be handed over to the BH terminals too.

Now, you alpha male, get back to your herd and play the alphaape.

Remove the Alpha class

Anyone else find the humor in the fact that he's asking about bounty hunting "like in the games and movies" when there's 50,000,000,000,000 Jedi running around?

Just like in the movies, eh?

I thought that was Xixor, not Vader... bah, whatever.

And to those asking for the removal of Jedi from the game, I'm sorry but it's not going to happen. You'd have more success asking for the CU to be rolled back. Yes, I agree it was a poor decision on SOE's part. Not the player Jedi, mind you, but making them so easy to get. These days you don't even really have to try. It's sorta... play the game for 6 months and get your complimentary Jedi character. But think for a moment, what would happen if SOE actually decided to remove the player Jedi. All the Jedi log in the next day and see:

"Sorry, we have decided to remove Jedi from the game. You will hereby lose all your Jedi and Force-Sensitive skills. You may respec your character to any template you desire. Have a nice day!"

Well a lot of theJedi I knowwould be a might pissed about that. I know I would. And my Jedi isn't even very far along in the profession. You would get a lot of people questioning what they ground out 26 professions or millions of rifle XP for and some more wondering why they speant hours on hours levelling their Jedi, getting past the XP debts and finally getting a Knight title only to have it all taken away.

You Bounty Hunters have a taste of that (those of you that aren't respecs, that is). Remember the investigation grind? I sure do. Take something about 10 times as long and add in a bunch of people trying to erase your progress: That's the Jedi grind. Now if someone completes said grind and you take that away fromthem a lot of tempers are going to flare.

Face it, aside from the CU, SOE does not like to make moves that cause lots of people to leave. And the fact that you're all still here reaffirms their belief that the Jedi damage has been done and now it's just a good thing. You may be unhappy about the situation, but you're still paying the monthly fee, and THAT'S what SOE cares about. Remove the Jedi? Well then some of you would be very happy, but a lot of us would stop paying. And SOE doesn't want that...

Also, I find it a bit humorous that some people say "Jedi should never have been in the game in the first place!" Hello? Anyone home? Jedi are THE selling point of Star Wars. They are the most iconic visage of the series, above Stormtroopers and the Death Star and X-wings and TIE Fighters, Jedi is the thing that makes Star Wars, STAR WARS. Come on, think... when you first saw the film didn't you wish you had a laser-sword that could go through anything along with a healthy dose of telekinesis? I know I did. I always dreamed of being an Imperial Dark Jedi Master, Pilot Ace and Bounty Hunter all in one and thanks to SWG, I did all of that. Well... not quite Jedi MASTER, but I digress...

At any rate, how well do you think this game would've sold if it had said "Sorry, but Jedi is unattainable in this game." Probably not very well at all. I agree they made it too easy to become Jedi and that there are far too many at the moment (which stemms from the first problem), but the damage is done and you are truly insane if you believe SOE will EVER remove Jedi from the game.

Yeah but see, the problem is if you stop all player bounties on Jedi, they don't just ride off into the sunset happily and become hermits....

They group up and join faction PVP battles and completely dominate. This is the main reason I became a Bounty Hunter. Because Jedi were DESTROYING the good, fun, and fair Imp vs Rebel faction wars that used to be so cool.

Infact on my server there is an ENTIRE Imp guild thats nothing but Jedi. WHen they show up to a base attack or PVP fight, its just OVER. Its bullcrap. Theres NO stopping them at ALL. Its complete Jedi domination.

So hey, you don't want them to be hunted ? Fine. But make it so they CANT EVER go overt and ruin fights.

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's patoot about PVPing in the GCW. I don't take my Jedi to pvp GCW now. Hell the only PVP I participate in with my Jedi is when a BH comes for me.

They did not hunt Jedi mainly because there were only a handful left and those were quite good at not being found so why waste your time? If the canonverse had been like the swgverse with Jedi all over the freaking place I am sure you would have found Boba Fett in Theed being a killwhore.
