Thread: Advice to my fellow Bounty Hunters

Actually, this suggestion is quite good. You just need to write down the names of the current full template ones. This way you have a list of full template Jedi. When you get to your mark and see his name on your list, then you can at least know you are going to engage a full template Jedi and not some newb Padawan.
And yet another reason why the advice is good for those that want to know if you rolled up on a full temp jedi for sure. Doesnt hurt, only helps

Bets are, full temp jedi will be PvP'ing or killing high lvl npc's while grinders will be killing some kind of 80 lvl creature.

no, but when you DO get to your mark...(since you now know who you're hunting)...if you happened to have written their value down - you'll be at least slightly less blind
Please tell me how you figure there will ever be a point in time when we'll know who we're hunting, but we won't know how much they're worth. That would be nicer than what the patch notes indicated, but that isn't what they said. While you're idea may have been in good faith to try to help yourself and others out, it made absolutely no sense since the changes were listed to be implemented in the same patch. You sir are the one who needs to learn how to read and not just see what you want to see.
He's saying that on the last day (or at least soon before that) of having names and payouts on the terminals, write down the name and payout of every Jedi you find on there. On a piece of paper.On your desk. Keep the list.
Then, after this patch comes out, you get a mission on Jedi X...you follow the waypoints from your droid. When you get within sight of Jedi X you see her (or his) name. You look at the list you made today and see if this Jedi's name is on it.
Then you say to yourself, "On July 5th (or whatever day you took down the info), Jedi Joe Schmoe was worth 138k...its been 2 weeks, Joe is probably worth X amount now"
Armed with the knowledge you have from preparing for the day of not knowing names and payouts you will then either proceed with the slaying, or drop the mission and try again. Is it as good as you have it now? No, is it better than nothing? Yes. As Aeschyl said, it can't hurt...it can only help.
Please review the entire thread before responding. The first thing I mentioned is that even without double xp, it is very easy to gain over 500k Jedi xp an hour. Having a dated list, even if it's a day old, cannot accurately tell you how many skills a Jedi has. I don't know about you guys, but (if I remain a BH) I'm going to attack every single mark Iapproach if these changes go through. I'm not going to check some old list, guess what the Jedi might be at now, and decide to back down. There is no list necessary if you're going to at least attempt every task set before you. I'd rather give something my best shot than not even try for fear of failure. A bounty hunter loses nothing if they fail their mission. In this new system, why would you chose not to try based on something you read on an old list?
I am not a BH, I am just reading your forums these days for amusement. However I have to say thatthis guy Smusatto takes the Darwin Prize for stupidity.

since we will no longer be able to determine the skills of our mark once this next patch goes live (if it does actually go live)
i would recommend that you all go to the BH terms right now, and write down all of the names you see and how much they are worth so that you at least know how good a few of the jedi are that will be flooding the terminals
hope this helps
A lot of you misinterpereted this post. Hes basically saying, Write down how many skillpoints they already have invested into Jedi at this point and time. You wont know how many they have after this hits live, but you will eventually gain thier names.
Some of you might not want to waste stim Ds or Bomb droids on someone whos going to wipe the floor with you regardless of what you do in your attempts to assasinate them.
Listen to what the man has to say and stop trying to pick eachother apart. The fixes suck ( for BH ) but dont take it out on eachother. Aeschyl knows what he is doing, trust me, I know first hand. See sig Below
