sounds to me like you are afraid of actually being competed with. all the jedi do when something is mentioned about balancing them out and making them beatable is cry. you just don't like the idea of actually being able to be beat when your a jedi. all you jedi think that just because your a jedi you should automatically win in pvp or whatever else.

mabey you should read my post im Jedi and i know alot of jedi rather have a challenging system. One thing we wont accept is being "just another profession"

---

My sole argument against this is that only bounty hunters will have a better shot against Jedi. I don't think that a system such as the one suggested should be exclusive to bounty hunters, the non-BH combat professions should have access to something similar. It's not exactly good to have the entire battlefield filled with just BH's and Jedi... BH should be a requirement to hunt Jedi, not to fight them...and seeing that BH's are the only ones who have these special abilities to fight Jedi, that's how people will see them, a requirement...

but as far as the star wars universe go's. who else hunts jedi asside from BH's?? look at what happend to han solo a master smuggler when he tried to shoot vader. nothin doin.

Let me make a distinction between hunting and fighting. For the most part, only BH's and Sith hunted the Jedi... but there were many others who could fight Jedi effectively.. Off the top of my head, in KotOR II alone there were several... There was a scoundrel who was supposedly very good at killing Jedi, then there was a droid that had special techniques for dealing with Jedi.. A number of Mandalorian warriors have had success in killing Jedi as well...

maybe they had success against weaker jedi. which any elite combat prof can beat already as it is. but look what happend when grievous took on a jedi master - death. now i am not trying in anyway to say that a BH should always be able to kill a jedi. but when a BH does take on a jedi he has special moves geared towards it. take for instance when jango almost killed obi-wan.

In case you assumed so, the droid I was referring to is not Grievous...If not then nevermind about that...

On the other hand, Grievous was able to fight multiple Jedi Masters at once, including Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shaak Ti.. It was something like 5-on-1 against Grievous...and he killed a few Jedi in that battle...I suspect Obi-Wan had it easier against Grievous due to the injury Mace Windu had caused him...

But this is all besides the point...Giving bonuses only to bounty hunters will make it a BH vs. Jedi war.. Even as a Jedi player I want other professions to have access to more bonuses... I don't see many other Jedi players complaining so long as there's effort required to get them..

sounds to me like u wanan be a jedi in sheeps clothing..

sorry, u want perks like that, make bh a 4 month grind with quests and waiting time between them .. lose xp along the way.. then youve earned the right to content the same as a jedi does in their fr system.. until then, take your little 50k bounty and go kill another paddy

I honestly like this idea looks promising but just like the Jedi post really good FRS ideas the chanceses the Devs will really consider this is like .00001%. either way good idea i think.

Monday Bump

I feel that all profession should have some endgame. Maybe the Marksman elite (Pistoleer, Carbineer, Rifleman) would have one, Commando would have one, Doctors and Combat Medics have one, etc. That way Jedi wouldn't be the be all end game, it would probably be the hardest and most elite but at least there would be something to do after you get a full template.

Also, has anyone else noticed that Commandos seemed like a very deprived proffession.... It seems like they could have so much content but they don't. Really sad if you ask me

well a good idea, i like it a lot, maybe a way to help with balance is to eather make it only work on jedi marks ( eg you can use these specials that you have worked for in normal faction PvP) or bring it in only when they add another faction, so BHs can never fight the likes of other players.

I would love to see BH taking all 250 skill points unlike it is at the moment

I have read lots of posts like this over the years and I think it is a truly great idea...each profession should have something similar to be honest, but I just don't think SOE is up to the task. When we are almost at launch plus3 yearsand smugglers still can't smuggle and many bugs existing at launch are still hanging around. I just don't expect very much from them anymore.

I don't think bounty hunters have the kind of penalties required to warrant the kind of power you want to add to the profession.

So I'd vote no on this. I ESPECIALLY vote no on any BH abilities that affect the force pool or buffs of a Jedi. You're not force wielders. You lack the understanding and ability with the force to be able to affect it at all.
