I can understand your guys' frustration, but what they're doing to us has got to be the most pointlessly retarded anything I've ever seen in any game.

Calm down. If you do not engage the BH, you can run to a house.

Calm down. You can't enter your house if you have a BH/Jedi Combat Jedi on you.


Example #1: I take your mission and do not attack you. You can enter your house.


Example #2: I take your missiona and we engage in combat. You cannot enter you house.

Not to complain (hehe), but this gives the Trail grinders an even bigger advantage. Personally, I don't hunt the Trail because of LoS bug, but a lot of other BH do.
Of course, I have no idea how this is implemented... When will we get the name? This will most probably also affect my policy of not hunting the same jedi for a set period of time.

Thats the only place I can even find a bounty on my server aside from the 220+k missions . And what happened to the thread? Was it from a Dev in the Testing Forum or just somebodies "opinion" thread?

It means you cant go in house if you are TEFed. You have to fight back to get a TEF, so you can go in house unless you are "Locked" in combat with a BH.

b) Taking away the payout being equal to level thing is freaking awful. I'm sorry but most BH's cannot take out very high level jedi 1 on 1. Short of being uber or being a fotm doc. Infact this is so completely totally wrong.


c) These changes are going to basically almost eliminate BH's period from hunting jedi. I've been a Master BH since September 03 and the above changes completely put me off hunting.


d) The Devs think this is a good change? They are making the lives of jedi even easier still. Sheesh limit the amount of BH's that can hold a mission to 2 or 3. Add a elite BHing profession thats as hard to get to as jedi. Taking away our desire to hunt is not cool.








The possiblity of getting a guildies mission is very very small in my experience. Its not often I see people I know pop up on terms.

All in all good changes that were much needed.

BHs that have the right template can challenge Jedi Knights. That is a fact.




It is impossible to solo kill a full template Jedi that is Master Defender/Master Lightsaber if you are a master bounty hunter. Unless the Jedi is in combat with something else or is afk.

Concerning your bad things list, items a) and b):

Names got taken off because some BHs were targeting the same Jedi over and over, others were waiting for a PvP battle, got Jedi names relayed to them and went there as combatants.
Payouts are not related to skill points spent in Jedi skills anymore because some BHs were abusing this system to bottom-feed. All I can say people got what they deserved for abusing systems.

Overall a good patch - as soon as I can actually see it. The original post was linking to the "In Live" forum, im waiting for the patch notes to appear in "In Testing - Dev"

Profession: Image Designer
Image Designers will no longer see other players avatars in the user interface as swimming


Profession: Bounty Hunter


NPC Bounty missions will now work properly. The Mark will now be of appropriate difficulty based on the difficulty of the mission
Moved Player Bounty Hunting to the Master Bounty Hunter skill Box
Bounty Hunter Jedi missions (1) no longer list Jedi names and (2) prevent you from determining Jedi’s level via mission payout



Profession: Scout


Phecnacine Dart will no longer cause creatures AI to turn off


Profession: Pilots


Pilots that drop a pilot profession will no longer lose an extra 10% experience if they have an inspiration buff.


Profession: Jedi


FS Village, Phase 4:
Increased the frequency of the Sith Shadow Pirates spawn to make the Village Assault (Ranged Speed / Melee Defense) quest is now easier to complete
Players that are using force cloaked will no longer be targetable
Jedi heals will no longer cost Force and Mind if the target does not require healing


Armor / Weapons


Fixed an Issue with the Mabari Gloves


UI


Removed the version number from the splash screen. If you would like to retrieve the version number, press CTRL+SHIFT+G in game.
Master Badges will now be granted during the token respec period
Fixed the range indicator so it packs down when HAM bars are invisible.


GCW


Reduce TEF timer to 2.5 minutes.
Combat between a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission will result in a "bounty hunter TEF". No other TEF (such as factional TEF, for example) is applied. The "bounty hunter TEF" will prevent both the bounty hunter and Jedi from entering player structures, and will eject the player from a player structure if the TEF is received while the player is in the player structure.
Guild war pvp no longer results in a TEF, unless the combatants are a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission, in which case it will result in a "bounty hunter TEF".
Opposing factional TEF and "bounty hunter TEF" are applied to both combatants as soon as any of the combatants attacks.


Quests / Loot
Mellichae now drops his cyborg arm as loot.
Mellichae and Daktar Bloodmoon now drop more appropriate loot.
NPC Jedi can now drop medpacks, clothing, and pistols as loot.


AI


Fixed an error case where AI would emit a "?" over its head when a non-threat approached.
Pets: If a pet attacks a mob, the mob will now also be aggressive to the pet's master. So if you send a pet on a mob, and the pet dies, the mob will attack you. If you send your pet to attack a lair, mobs from the lair will additionally attack you.
Pets: Pets now inherit the same aggro radius reduction as their master. Previously a lvl 80 player with a lvl 40 pet could possibly have an AI aggro the pet, but not the player. Now the pet has the same aggro radius as the player.
Pets: A pet can no longer pull a mob without getting within the aggro radius of or attacking a mob. Previously just telling a pet to attack a mob initiated the pet and the mob in combat instantly.
Pets: A pet no longer stops attacking a lair (or any immobile AI) after a short period of time. They will continue to attack as ordered.
Pets: Fixed a case where pets could lose their ranged weapons when incapped and not regain the weapon until stored/recalled.

Hmm. Wow, looks like you gotta pay to play. How many of you guys are not MASTER BH's? Oopps, your jedi hunting days are over.



Message Edited by Jedi_Xan on 07-05-2005 10:21 AM





wow! just thought I would read this post on the new changes, I have yet to run into a MBH that is any good, but only time will tell i guess. I must say i dont like that change I think its to limiting on BH temps. That means the best BH on our server IMOis SOL and I dont have to worry about him anymore! for me that a bad thing.

Wow. I stand corrected. That's not how it used to work. That kind of sucks for jedi that do not wish to fight and, imho, is a bit unfair.

Concerning your observations wouldnt a timer on a bh takign a jedi mission of the same name be much more beneficial? Heck put a 24 hour timer on a samed name mission (Bh takes mission on john, BH dies/aborts the mission, BH can no longer take mission on john for 24 hours.) Thats how I would do it personally.


Fair enough about the PVP battle thing, but I myself take out the stronger jedi I see involved in pvp of any type by getting the mission and watching and waiting for a oppurtunity for me to strike. Basically now they are taking away BH's options of doing this.


Heck last night I was refreshing the terminals and a good 70-80% of the missions were jedi at the 225k bounty mark. I myself short of shooting them in the back when they are busy theed dueling am not capable at tkaing one down 1 on 1 as pretty much most BH's cant. So basically 70-80% of my time is going to be spent hitting jedi marks that I dont have a chance in hell of winning.


Heck why dont they just make it so you have to be worth at least 100k (100sp) in jedi before you can even get on the terminals.


Iam very concerned by the devs thought processes on these changes because they just dont seem to make sense. You'll see how much ya like the changes if they go live...

I thought it was odd that a patch notes from Sunday with these kinds of changes weren't being discussed anywhere.

Oh well...I like the new term system, however it should be filtered by your faction...rebs hunt neut and imp jedi, and vice versa. Of course neutrals always hunt whoever they want.

I'd like clarification on this from anyone who knows for certain and isn't making an assumption.


It seems clear that Jedi will now be anonymous on BH terminals. What is unclear is if the Jedi will be anonymous after the mission has been accepted. That is, will the Jedi's name appear on the datapad entry or waypoint for that mission once the mission has been accepted or the probot/seeker scan has been completed?

Regarding no Jedi names and amounts. All bets, alliances, treaties with any faction, guild, person are off. I will hunt whatever mission I get, and it will result in a payout. Jedi got what they wanted, now I will hunt as I want.
