Bounty Hunter Archive

Besides mission decay is there to prevent BH alts from taking their jedi's mission freeing up missions for real BHes to actually hunt. The only real big nerf I see here to visibility is not gaining any in groups. I never hunt with un-grouped players. its just habit for me, so when patch 30 hits I'll disappear off the terms in three weeks never to be seen again. however based in the pricing formula for jedi on the terms I'm betting I'll be worth over 500k easy when the patch hits

read the above post about that. there is no way the target jedi will pop up first or even 25th when 8 jedi are grinding at a broken lair with 50 creatures around them. it takes away out element of surprise which makes our first strike crucial. if we are standing there 100m away tabbing the jedi will already know we are there and get in the house before we can tef them. we have NO chance at all now. all i want is a name of the jedi at some point in the mission so i can friggin know who i'm after

Nope mine is awsome at targeting a mark 100m away instead of the one 20 m away! So now we gotta tab xhowever many things are in the area before we stumble on our mark? Nice, in the mean time the jedi are doing /due/ exploit, or running for the nearest LOS/house....

50 mobs is a bit of an exaggeration. It would be more like 20. It doesn't take very long to press the tab key twenty times in quick succession. You know, it doesn't even take long to hit the tab key 50 times in quick succession.

yes but how will we know he's our mark? just cuz we tabbed him doesn't mean he's the one. we need something that makes him stand out or something.

4) Group visibilty is an odd thing to be upset over. there's already more jedi on the terms than bounty hunters to hunt them. visibilty isn't hard to get and being on the terms is a cinch, i think this is just from bitterness imo.

i am a jedi and i think this is simply rediculous. i am on the side of the bounty hunters here. the only ppl that really go out of their way to get viz are full temps and dumb pads who are showing off, those pads may i add deserve what they get. this is really is not fair to the bh's. they get no idea who they are after, they have to do 1 on 1. the devs could of at least left the bounty. if they are going to make it this easy for jedi then they should up the penelty for death. lets say a low lvl jedi gets on the boards and gets killed. waht does he lose, about 150-200k. in a grp he/she could make taht up in 4 lairs with any risk of another bh coming, where is the challenge. if theres no risk theres no reason for a reward.

well at least the few bh that are left after pub 20 can look forward to alot of bh vs full temp jedi fights solo. most of these guys need at least two bh to actually take them down, some need more than that.

my heart really goes out to the bh,

we need something to distinguish our mark from the surrounding players and npcs like make the name of the jedi glow green or orange or something. red won't do at all cuz all pissed off npc's have red. i don't care about the other stuff really i just want to know at some poijnt who the fu$k to target before he realizes i'm there and tuns into a house before i can tef him

Are people's tab keys broken or something?

I guess we should all rip up our wanted posters.... We arent supposed to know who our bounties are....

Exchange them for the Question Mark wanted posters...

I can imagine it now...

We dont know who or what his name is but we WANT HIM DEAD!

We dont know what he looks like but we WANT HIM DEAD!

Let me go talk to my contact.... Whats his name?

I dont know....

I know he has a glow stick.... Thats it.....

Oh ok... i think i saw like sixteen of them run by... im sure that he is in that group.....

2) There is the opinion among most of you that a full template BH cannot solo a full template jedi. i ask you: should you be able to? the reason you have first strike is because you are theoretically weaker than said jedi, and with the first strike advantage you can kill him when he's in a weakened, tired state(consider if he'd just channeled a few times, he could be as low as 500 health). In the current system, you have both first strike, but if you work with another bounty hunter, you can overwhelm the jedi in damage and healing also.

Imagine 2 MBH/MCM/0004Pistoleers after 1 jedi. they can outheal, outdamage, and keep him in 1 place, they also get to choose when. is it fair? I would be inclined to say no.

I agree with alot of that except the above. So you are saying we shouldnt be able to solo a Jedi since they are more powerful. Thats fine, I agree. But you also state that we shouldnt be able to group to kill a Jedi? So we are supposed to wait until the Jedi is about to drop that take a shot and pray? Are we supposed to follow the Jedi around hoplessly waiting for him to get into trouble? That seems to be what your saying. First strike capability doesnt mean much against a master defender, but if we hunt padawans were considered sissy's...... I just dont get it. They sure as hell arent going to make BH's as strong as a Jedi....or are they
