Thread: BEST tactic to use againsts a housing jedi
Yes I like this suggestion, would all Jedi please adopt this if you suspectI am /cover outside ur house. To make it work you just have to step out of your house and do /tar camelz

When you are under cover, they just wont know if your there. They have to take a chance.

My Jedi Friends basically look at you name in the tells (Like Come out of the house etc) Then type /Target Name
You'll show up even under cover.

then you ran up against jedi that didnt know the /target (bh name) thing i use it and can find the cover'd bh's easily plus if i am in a house and i log out to go do other things for awhile i never leave till a friend of mine comes out there and scouts the area
as for the scarecrow trick while playing my jedi i would always step out long enough to see which blue dots are shooting at me once i realized the one just sitting there isnt shooting id pack up and leave

Ok. In my experience, and although it isnt much it is enough to know this, 9 times out of 10, then paddie is in his house when I get there. I never send tells to my mark until after the fight, if there is one... and finally, it would be many more than just one. I have done this many many times.
But, I dont hunt less than 180k jedi anymore, and they dont typically run. Usually, I find my prey showing off in Theed, or Mos Eisley, or Coronet beating up on little NPC's. This is so much more fun than padawans.

My personal choice would be to place a house right infront of their house. Say Hi neighbor! and go inside.
Now there are a couple of things that will result from that:
1- He has a choice...stay there until his mission expires or redeed his house which will leave him naked in the field.
2- By placing your house as close as possible and directly infront he cannot run back directly into the house. You are adding an obstacle and possibly gaining a second or two.
3- This is not griefing it's tactics. If it's legal for a Jedi to place a house and wait for the danger to go away. It's ok for the BH to place a house a wait for his prey. Granted placing a house is not the most sublte form of stalking a prey but I like to comfy when I stalk. Watch TV, eat some popcorn and sitting outside in rain and sandstorms really sucks.
= flawed logic.

1) yeah i can only do one mission but i'll just drop it. If he's not coming out who cares if i don't kill him lol but he isn't grinding lmao
2) if he logs he still ain't grinding. When logs backthe afk'er isstill there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White. that has to be thew best response to this ive ever seen.. Can clicky that response about players being human and also trying to play a game. Seems people get mad when others wont play to thier convenience... well said
/agree
I also think that camping outside someone's house for hours and hours can border on griefing. If my mark is in a house or cantina I move onto the next mission. I don't want to waste my time with it.
As for the tactic of using /cover to ambush a jedi, /tar defeats any chance of surprise you may have had. Once a BH is made, you lose a significant advantage...surprise. To me that is the most important factor in taking down high level jedi. If they know you are coming then the odds are no longer in your favor.
Oh, and the /duel, /enduel will let them know who you are there for pretty darn quick if you try to just walk up to them in the middle of nowhere.
according to csradamb in livechat about 2 weeks ago housecamping a jed for longer then 15 to 20 minutes is considered harrasment and against the eula ...it can be reported and you can receive warnings and possible ban on your account
me and a friend both asked in chat one night and both got the same answer

you know you can just push the alt key and use the cursor to hover over the dot on the radar to get the name, then /exam name?
Its not very difficult. If two dots show up and one leaves, I'd check who left and who stayed. I'd also take notice of how far the one who left went before they dropped off the radar.
That will work too, but usually, you cant examine if your LD. I will be there when they log off, and 'gone' when they come back. And since cover takes you off the radar, and hides you from view. They will walk outside and see nothing outside, and nothing on the radar. I have done this so many times. Even when they know about it, or think about it in advance, they just have to take a chance.
Your plan sounds greatunless of course the Jediknows to /target Callale. I have not tested it with cover yet but I know player's who use cloak can be /targeted.
