Bounty Hunter Archive

hmmm, first post cu since i dont really remember much pre cu except the fookin 85% saber block

I found my mark afk in the force crystal hunters' cave

my first kill happened by totalaccident. was a year and a day ago, i just got bh 3/0/0/0 and had TKM and some medic. I pulled a jedi mission, after having failed several miserablyas a rifleman. The guy was pulling missions from a player city on dantooine. He pulled up to the mission term on his bike, I kd2'd him off the bike and wailed on his mind. He never had a chance. This was a spontaneous hit, I did not have a doc buff and only had pikata pie, syntha steak and vasarian brandy, this set the mark for every other hit I made. From that point forward (until CU) I only hunted 3 jedi with a doctor buff and killed more than my share.

What's more interesting, to me, is my last hit. It happened on friday, around lunchtime on test center. I had an MBH there for a while but only hunted NPC's so for one last time I headed out, MBH/Mcarbs and SL 0400. The jedi was in New Unity, house sitting, so I ran some missions cause at that point I only had literally 140 credits in the bank. I killed a gungan camp, camp back for another mission and saw his blue blip on the overhead map next to his house, I ran over, KD, critical hit to death, took all of 20 seconds and got paid 325k

Oh my. Let me think. It's not that I have that many, just that I don't get on as much as I'd like.

Crushin Nemo was my first kill (no relation to Samous Nemo, btw). I found him on Nabbo (or else Coro, I forget) grinding by his house by a river. He was camping a stormtrooper spawn.

The fight didn't really go that well. He couldn't get close to my long enough to take me out, and my weapons sucked more than I had realized at the time. Eventually I decided to go balls to the walls so I closed in tight with my old LLC. As I started blasting away, he went face down in the dirt. As I realized he was laying down the fight in hopes of getting me to leave him alone, I scored the kill. Kinda cheap, but I got the payday.

My first good kill was Obi-win Lightwalker (that's his name right?). This was during the GTEF days. I knew from observation that he was a light jedi, so I went rebel before tracking him down. He was, like every other light jedi at the time, grinding on Dantooine in a group for backup. I jumped him, he fought back. The fight wasn't going quickly, but I had an upperhand, so he ran. As he ran, his buddies showed up, but were unable to attack me b/c I was a rebel. I THINK that they were healing him, or something with the force (I still don't know a whole lot about the force TBH), but I was still keeping up damage wise. He started to run again, and I ran him down and dropped him in a small stream. At that point the rest of the posse showed up and started talking smack and challenging me to a duel. It was a pretty satisfying kill.

To be honest, I don't know if I ever lostmore than 2 or 3 fights that I felt I showed up prepared for. I definitely lost, but it was often a result of being hasty, ill-prepared, or stupid. Once I got the hang of it, it was quite the rush! I think one of my most memorable kills was when I noticed a Jedi enter a buff house as I exited, and I grabbed his mission on the term outside. I let him come out and then blew his speeder and dropped him. I think I dropped him in about 5 seconds or so. Another player said he came running out as soon as he heard shots fired, and was surprised to see a Jedi standing dead at my feet. It was a rush, and I felt like my character was finally seen as a force to be reckoned with. The Jedi was nice about it too, though obviously upset about wasting a buff so quickly.
