um man all you hafta do is find some crooked jedi or have a friend run down to one of the trails in Wookie Land (should be official name ie. you are now entering wookie land he heh) and give u some of the names lol thats real bounty hunting haveing informants =) fun stuff






QFE!!!


I was grinding the other day, and due to the non-solo'able jediexp, we had an imp jedi with us (on the trail btw, none were afk tho). Anyways, here comes a BH from the guy's same guild, and he steps into this bugged spot. The jedi he was after stepped out to grind and BAM he came out of the spot and wasted her. The jedi and his BH promptly left, probably because they had been discovered, but that is true BH'ing IMO.


I really don't like how nowadays people expect the droid to do 100% of the work, then have the jedi just stand there and take the hits for them to kill em. I know a lot of BH's on my server that would be glad to have a challenge, because some are REALLY, REALLY good. Sure, I'd be glad if there was more work involved in BH'ing, cuz then I would probably stay and fight more, but when there is no work involved and you are prey for someone who is bored with nothing to do, and you can lose hours of playng time in an instant, there's no incentive to fight.

Most Jedi hide behind.. but Kash has a ton of quests, I don't want to be hunted when doing quests! If thats the case, disable XP on Kash. Granted non-Jedi use it for grinding as well, but nothing like Jedi do.

You are the rest of the hasbro made bounty hunters are all pathetic. Its sickening to see respec'ed BH beg for an easier time to hunt jedi. I dont even put up my "Master Bounty Hunter" title any more from the embarassment of some of these noobs.


Do you guys want some cheese with your whine!

lack of functional seekers on kashyyk will be fair as soon as force aura doesn't work on kashyyk either

no one else wants their skill trees wasted on this planet.

everyone knows the jedi go there to escape the seekers, and to exploit the LOS

everyone complaining that you are not REALLY hunting is just making excuses for their own lameness.

Are you so weak a player as to have to hunt the low levels? If you are tired of their defense tactics (and that is what I call them), them wise up, and think of a new strategy. I hunt 180 and up. Sure, they are harder, sure they take longer... but mine usually turn up right in town, meditating in theed square, or something like that. The high level ones are no harder to beat, they just require more patience to beat. (And wide open area).

I'm pretty sick of the free grinding planet myself. I've been tracking this one Jedi for over a week and every time Iaunch my probe droid, he's there in Kashyyyk. It's getting pretty old.

Grinding on Kashyyyk is not an exploit.

You sir, have no clue: The DEVs reported, that it is an technical issue, that you cant use droids there and so the disabled them for kashyyk (because they cant fix it, without doing bigger changes to the system).. dont blame jedi for grinding there.. beeing a jedi does not mean, beeing 24/7 on planets for your fun and your hunt...


With becoming a BH, you get the opportunity to hunt Jedi, but viceversa the Jedi the opportunity to avoid you.. so stick with it or drop the profession.. Jedi ARE NOT your personal content, if you think so, rethink your playstyle

no, but never leaving there is, since the devs have stated that such is not intended

ok ok....


Droids USED to work on kash, kinda. The first day or two of kash being out, you could get WP, and you did not get the BS "Due to high life on kash..." message.


The devs did a band aid fix. Every (sorry alot) jedi seems to think that it was intended this way. When in fact it was not. Droids where supose to work on kash, the devs either cant/wont fix it. It is beyond their ability, droids have been a problem for them since almost day one.


I hunt marks on kash, I have chased marks off kash. I have killed jedi in the past ("back in the day")when you could not even get any droids to work. I killed jedi in the past (as ranged fighter) when saber block was unbalancing. Dont tell me I'm lazy, dont tell me I'm a newb, dont tell me I'm jelous, dont call me a respec BH griever. However - This sucks. There are soo many places for a jedi to grind there. 10 instances at mydril caves, which TBH is the easiest to find them in. Zone in /target mark, and see if they are there, hopefully you dont try if/when they are fighting necrosis. Then the trail. More of a pita, just as many instances to check, cant /target, and once you get to a point where a template can actually get xp, it is about a 20minute trip to get that far in each instance.


What really sucks? The chances of it changing are zero to nil, I wish others would just realize this so we can get over it and move and on.

I decided my /rant about Kashyyyk put me on the same level as the whiners that grind there, so it's gone

Like I said in other threads I can deal with it, cause in all honestly they are on the Ryatt Trail killing some wookies. Which is fine, I have access to that area, andit dosn't bother me. Before I broke my foot, and I can't stay on the PC for more then an hour or two, I took a Jedi Mission, saw him on Wookie Planet. I took my ship and tracked him down to the instance, start to make my way to him.


I was thinking, easy money, guy is most likey macro'ing. Guess I was wrong, as I move down to him, bang he logs. So I said okay maybe he went LD and will come back after watching a movie and log back on. Nope, stayed their for an hour then left and did some things with my guild.


Some times you get lucky and some times you don't.


Just wish they had to xp like the rest of us though. But that's it.
