Thread: For those that think anonymous missions will be so great, an exercise for you, then report back.

The reason we need a name is for the purpose of targeting our prey, I have a target macro that i can repeate or not reapeat, it is /target . this macro helps because i never lose the target on the jedi, and if i cant do this then it will be harder to keep targeted on the same jedi.

I think it is interesting I have the jedis DNA but not his name..
silly
If someone walks up to you in the street and hands you a warm cup of spit for dna - will you know the name of the person who gave the sample?
no, i didn't think so.
Your droid will lead you to the mark..... and you still do not need to know his name to kill him.
Again, we do not know what the devs have in mind. They may make the mark pulsate with glowing colors post-cu, since almost every combat action has some kind of colorful animation.....
ever think of that?
any speculation without fact is just asking for FUD to be tossed around.

The whole idea of anonymous only missons is just plain stupid. A bounty is a legal document issued in the Empire by the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations (IOCI). It would include all available information and would look something like this:
WANTED - DEAD or ALIVE
Cheziian
Species: Wookiee
Sex: Male
Age: 180
Homeworld: Kashyyyk
Known Associates: Multiple Jedi criminals
Bounty: 200,000 credits
Classification: Corporate
Application Conditions: Dead or Alive
Bonus: None
Determent: None
Crimes:
Homicide of a security officer (4,000,000 counts)
Numerous customs violations
Originator: Lord Alric Oorsil, ExO and Prex, Oorsil Enterprises
Receiver: Oorsil Enterprises Security Division headquarters, Alaris II Prime, or any regional Oorsil Enterprises office.
Brief: Subject killed two security guards while effecting an escape from a heavily fortified installation and violated numerous customs laws while fleeing the system. Subject has a familiarity with a wide range of weapons, particularly the Wookiee bowcaster, and excels at lightsaber combat. Subject also has a propensity for the use of explosives. Subject owns and operates anFirespray B Light Interceptor registered as the "Treestalker." The vessel is known to have a heavy weapons loadout and several false transponder codes, all with a Kashyyyk-oriented theme. Subject should be considered heavily armed and extremely dangerous.
fixed that for ya, 2 just wasn't realistic for a jedi in this game.
Entering day 4, and still waiting for a pro-anonymous missions BH to take the blindfold challenge. Hmm, perhaps all the anonymous mission advocates are just closet Jedi. 
You do know they are adding an online/offline message as well as faction in trade for name elimination right ?
the name thing is idiotic, cause it causes griefing.
As for # of BHs, the easiest way to fix this is lvl = # of missions and have a "share mission" option.
Then your group can simply share the unnamed jedi mission.
but there are fixes coming to counter the no name. If you get online/offline status and the faction, there is not much more required really.
And that's bad, why?

Because whether they have your blessing or not, some people want to play Star Wars as the arguably most Iconic profession in the genre. I know you don't approve, but...meh.

If you like the idea of anonymous Jedi missions, then why wait for SOE? You can simulate anonymous missions now...
1.) Open the BH terminal screen.
2.) Sort the "Payment" column in ascending order.
3.) Cover the Payment column with your hand, then reclick the Refresh button a few times.
4.) Accept either the last or second to last mission, never looking at the bounty amount or name.
5.) Continue to follow-through on the entire mission. Remember to never check the mission's target name or payout.
You will of course run into some not online Jedi. Just ignore those and try again. If you discover you pulled an NPC mission, that's fine too, just complete the mission, and/or pretend the Jedi was a house sitter. If you have faction limitations on yourself, that is easy to solve too, since the first thing you'll notice about your target is a purple or blue dot.
Once you have done this exercise for a handful of Jedi, report back here on your experience.
Personally i think names should be on the terminals. however there should be a tracking list, like there was in the FRS. If a BH fails a mission on a certain Jedi he should not be allowed to take that Jedi's mission again for say 48 hours. The same should apply if he defeats the Jedi. No penalty for dropping the mission or if another BH completes the mission. this would stop the singling out of a certain Jedi by the same BH.

What do you really need my name for if it's just business?
BH hunt from the basis of DNA, and have no interest in my name unless of course it's personal griefing.
Thankfully there is no real need for a shrewd mind for SWGs bounty hunters.. nothing would ever get done, but everything is dumbified for your hunting convenience. Get wp, kill target or die trying. Eat book.
