Thread: rofl quitting?

I think the real reason for BHs quitting are the ones that take a mission and go to their mark and see a level 80 with 4K health or "Jedi Knight/Guardian/Master" on their name and I bet the BH says "damn I don't want this mission" since they can't pick out a mission THEY want to do (bottom feeding?)- tough, fight it out and see what you're capable of. I fought a 4.5K health Jedi yesterday and it wasn't easy but it took smarts to get the Jedi off guard.
Or is it the fact that they cannot be BH 3000 and require MBH to go hunt a mark that they can't even pick and choose off the terms anymore?Adapt to the templates, I've been MBH for a LOOONG time on 2 chars, but had one char at TKM/BH 3000 for a short while before going TKM/Commando/Pistol0040 a year ago.

Quite possibly one of the worst generalizations ever. Not everyone who went for Jedi did it for the PvP or to be "uber 1337"... some of us took the profession for the role-play.

Exactly how do you intend to role-play Jedi in a time frame where they have been hunted to extinction and all but Yoda remain w/ Luke as a in-training chew-toy for Vader until his emotions bring him back from the dark side? In order to role-play a jedi in this setting you would need to log in your alt 24/7.

Um, not particularly, before publish 19 the Jedi would get vis in groups and they couldn't help it, and groups was the ONLY way a Jedi can get decent xp. The finished temps and Knights kept waiting day in and day out for visits, which many never got until publish 20 hit live. And expect fewer missions on lower level paddies to ever pop up on the terms now, I'm going to pick a mission and go for the mark regardless of how finished he/she is, I don't care how high the Jedi is. That statement was true before the CU and most BHs, TKM/BH3000 or MFencer/BH3000/Pistoleer0040 hunted knights and ranked Jedi all the time, but this rarely ever happened in the CU.
Truly it is a generalization I just wonder what kind of respect yoda would have drawn if he had ran around crying “ganks squad came for me and I lost xp”…lol that would be lame right. So how does it sound when the jedi complain about the bh coming for them cause they choose to be jedi an accept the game for what it is. Not complain about the wayit was done, more jedi post here than bh probably cause most bh dont bother with posting it is lame anyway. I just got tired of seeing every one complain about something that is was part of the game mechanics.(but now i amlame)Groups of bh attacking one jedi was part of the game mechanics the only ones complaining usually are the jedi who had it happen to them. If you don’t want a player bounty to be put on you then you shouldn’t be playing a Jedi that is the game mechanics as it is. Cry nerf let loose the nerfing of all professions and the end to SWG! OR make the game free to play....since paying to play dosnet seem to inlfuence any thing good for the game.

So funny that all these BH out there are quitting because they are getting schooled by jedi now. Why are you guys Bounty hunters for the money or for the challenge get a grip peeps. I get that warm and fuzzy feeling when i kill a jedi knight or full template jedi oh and the 225-226k. BH is supposed to be a challenge if you cant hack it then go be a entertainer

What broken promise? Are you daft? If you're talking about the "Target not Online" thing, it's a BUG that's going to be fixed soon, not a feature. I don't see why people like you cannot grasp this.
The only reason these people are quitting is because they cannot form up gank squads anymore. To those people I say: Good Riddance.
Oh a bug, huh? Get fixed soon, right? Well considering SOE's recent monumental accomplishment of finally fixing the infinite use bug on the seekers, I guess we can expect the "not online" bug of being fixed some time around Sept 2007.
Any mission that isn't offline is more than likely going to be either fully-templated or else on Kashyyyk. Previously we could either avoid FTs judging by their payouts or else bring friends by matching names. Post patch 20, we can't do either of those. Tell me I suck, I don't really care, but I simply can't solo a fully-templated profession that's designed to be 50% stronger than I am. First strike would help, but when seekers only give names half the time (another bug), it doesn't offer much.
Kashyyyk is another can of worms. First droids kinda worked there, but then they were disabled altogether because Jedi's content was being interupted. Then we got the idea of writing down names and instances, then scanning the terms for a familiar face, but again, P 20 changed that. Yes, we could still spend 60 to 90 minutes searching each instance for one Jedi who may not even be at that particular POI... but my guess is that if we keep this up, we can expect another patch to make the task even more difficult. SOE doesn't want Jedi on Kash being hunted. They've made that perfectly clear.
Now the NPC bounties are getting adjusted. While although I'm always a fan of new content, this is giving me the impression that Jedi bounties are in the process of being phased out. Yes, there's always the distant possible that Smuggler's will one day get their revamp, and with that possibly NPC BH hunting them, which might be a stepping stone towards PC smuggler bounties... but I'm not holding my breath.
Although I haven't gotten to the point of quitting, I am certainly not doing any hunting at the moment. Thanks to Aanu I've got a new template that should stand a better chance at solo-ing a full-template, but I've opted against using my token respec and am re-grinding the old fashioned way to kill time while I wait for the terminals to be fixed. After that it'll probably be on to other servers to tool around with other template ideas, but if the terms aren't fixed by then I'll be fresh outta ideas.
PC bounties are currently what sends my checks to SOE. If those don't get fixed I won't have much reason to continue. But hey, that's just me.
PS: I have never "ganked" anyone under 200k and the only time I hunted under 100k was when the terms were otherwise empty.

the official SOE response is Soon(tm)... like our smuggler revamp they started September 2003.

also if jedi werent 1.5x powerful they would more then likely get stomped out by a bh in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.
i am saying this with all honesty it is really my honest to God opinion ....
i vote for removing player bounties completely ... making the jedi grind a LOT quicker and eaiser.... and making jedi 1=1 with all other proffessions
or make all of the otherproffessions grind harder ... and still keep jedi 1 = 1
and ill be honest ... the reason i feel this way ... is because my good sense tells me to become jedi ... it has the most benefits ...its the most powerfull class .. best for PvE and PVP .. as well as the GCW ...and the best for chain killing high end mobs to get the uber loot .. and best for the dungeons like the DWB and vette ect...
but at the same time my heart says " be different ... dont go jedi ... help create a little sense of variety by doing something else ( even if that soemthing else happens to be the #2 most popular profession)
at this time my heart really just wants to go commando/ranger, because that sounds like so much fun in PvE ....but ill also be brutally honest here ... i like the roleplaying oppertunities and the respect, yes the respect and caution people exhibit when you are a bounty hunter ... i dont feel as if the other proffessions are taken seriously .
now i may get flamed for this by the other BH ... but .. i never took the BH profession to go around and kill other players ...sure the RP elements in being an assasin were fun as all heck ... sure the PVP was fun as long as it didnt turn hateful with people trying to insult me or treat me negatively ( which happened sometimes, and i think is a big problem, it made me resent the game at times).. but the only reason i took BH was because it seemed to be the only other respected profession besides jedi .. and when i came back to the game after a6 month break ... everyone i knew had become jedi .. or was on their way to becoming jedi ... so i vowed to help keep variety in this game alive and not go jedi ...

Worst mistake ever WAS Patch 10 they should have kept the unlock the way it was. Professions. That was there was balance in the game people where trying new professions doing differtent things hoping to get a holo for unlock..
Now all that happens is you chose best temp to grind boring FS grind and man its so boring surprised I got through it. 
( CU made me get through using nade exploit before CU went live). I had my fair hunts some good fights some lamers ganking while I had LS x 2 x x ..
To a point the new system is fair and with new comes Teathing troubles. I chose Jedi because I like PvE nothing else. I dont moan about being hunted and I dont brag about winning..
But yes I agree with Thassk there is no variety or balance in the game now...

dude its even easier than that. While grinding jedi all they have to do is not hunt npc and only use sabers when they are in the wilderness with their 8 man grinding group that doesnt give them vis anymore. My guild had several jedi fully template pre CU without a single bounty. Granted post CU required them to group but even that doesnt get them on the terms anymore. And once they are fully templated who cares if somoene hunts you.. really? Its not like you lose anything.
True very true so waht is the end gaem then jedi pvp each otehr in starports withput reprive or consequence? I hope not, I woudl lvoe to see imperial support on the consequences of jedi in cities at all. but cant hurt soe lunch ox seller can we.. oh well..
