Hey guys, have you heard! the Role play element is HERE! We dont know who our mark is till we get there! We can actually HUNT and take our time! we can now study our mark and find the BEST time to attack! Rejoice REAL Bounty Hunters! We no longer will get out done by the Hybrid invest 3 people. NOW they have to be masters like us! The FOTM has changed! we can now see who REALLY wants to be a BH.
How many of us were MBH when the time being a MBH sucked. How many of you were angry to see all the Invest 3 Melee bh running around doing a btter job than you. How many times did it erk you to see a Master combat medic/ Master carbiner/invest 3 bh take down a mark YOU could not cause you chose to stay true to your craft! Well now you have the rights to brag! you never dropped MBH when you knew it wasnt as good as a melee BH. you didnt drop MBH when you could have just picked up Master combat medic and done a better job. you stuck through it. And now being a MBH really means something.
Rejoice! you veteran MBH know not seeing names is no big deal. cause you have patience. You know you have first strike. you know you can find when they let there guard down. you KNOW your prey. Hunting in groups was a rareity for you. You are a REAL Master Bounty Hunter. You know and understand that these changes did nothing but make YOU more important, and make the tactics you were ALLREADY useing that much more aplicable.
Good Job To the REAL Master Bounty Hunters. You patience once again has payed off.
P.S. i am being serious. I LOVE these changes. it brings back the SKILL in hunting. Thankyou DEVS.


I'm with you on this. I'm looking forward to my first hunt after these changes go through. Not knowing if the target is a paddie or a knight will make for an interesting fight. The changes for not having the name/level of jedi is a direct result of greifing/bottom feeding of jedi.. did you really expect SOE to allow that to continue.

My three narglatch's and I will be waiting to chew on a few jedi. If I die, chat to the jedi and see how i can improve for the next fight. And if i win, thank the jedi for the fight and wish him/her good luck on their grind.

Im gonna laugh even harder when it does go live, along with the +root+ timers to end chain rooting. Now that dazes break on damage and +root+ and mez attacks will be on timers like knockdown the BH's will whine once again how powerful Jedi are. The viscous circle of nerfs will never end.

For REAL bounty hunters this element of the game was always there. I.E Most of us stalked our prey and made a note of where they lived/where they were going to run to etc anyway.



So all this change is doing is taking away our (considerably limited to start with) ability to termbash for two hours and group against Jedi masters.



So in effect all this patch is doing is wasting everyones time, because its only Paddies that are going to get fought against by any TRUE bh as theyre the only ones you can solo without dabbling.

Wont it just be better to stop you hunting the same jedi over and over..Once you killed him you coudnt pick him again for say 10 more missions.






- It's time the devs end the bitter fighting by giving the community a Non Jedi server. We have a few servers with TINY populations that could be changed to this ruleset. I support this idea because it punishes noone. - You can support it too. Click Here!

If the Devs wanted that, why wouldnt they just code it so a Jedi couldn't be hunted by the same BH twice in one day?


The truth of it is, the bounty hunter system works :


Jedi gets viz,

Jedi gets put on terms

BH checks terms

BH hunts jedi



The thing that is broken is the Jedi viz system. The devs should manipulate the marriage system so that an apprentice can 'marry' a master and then those 2 don't viz each other. Makes grinding long and hard the way it should be, but also gives people no excuse to whine about being hunted.

Yes. The current system finally works for awhile and, with enough whining, it'll get borked. They could fix the paddy griefing without all this crap. It's not the players griefing they're worried about, it's the precious paddys in general getting owned that they don't want. I love going after the paddys. Makes their grind a little longer.


I like the paddy/master idea. I'd even go for the Master being able to help the paddy against his attacker.

With these changes, you're not a real bounty hunter, you're a glorified waypoint chaser.

Bounty Hunters only have themselves to blame for these changes. Quit crying and get over it.

You are getting carried away by your imagination. These changes would be great for weeding out the true BH from the Hybrid BH, and to allowing us to take time with our mark rather than just making it a more difficult, interactive, and usually tedious grind. However, the reason these changes are very detrimental to BH, and especially "True BH" is because of the factors that once made "Bounty Hunting"a challenging, interesting passtime (albeit still flawed, but hey, we take what we can get when the devs go in the remotely right direction with the game) are now being attacked to the point that will make "Bounty Hunting" into something that only those with the utter most devotion, patience, and willingness to accept a kick to the face in hopes that those who are responsible for their beloved content will get it right eventually.


I will briefly explain why: (I will notgo into the specifics,as that has been posted over and over, yet I will just give my thoughts on the effects)


1. If we lose the ability to see the name and payout of the Jedi, then "Bounty Hunting" will be reduced to a very frustrating and time consuming process that not many will look forward to taking part in. In the devs pursuit of removing 'griefing' from the system, they are actually encouraging and creating it ten fold. (of course not to the jedi, who are long-term suscribers by default, go figure?)


2. Faction. "Bounty Hunting" can be used as a significant tool in the current GCW, but even ignoring that, without knowing the faction (and of course the name) then hunting Jedi of your faction is being encouraged, simply out of pure frustration that you actually found a mark that wasn't: AFK, Sitting in his house, Kash-AFK grinding, In space on the way to Kash-AFK grinding, and so on.


Just my thoughts.

No names is a joke. Imagine Jabba telling Boba Fett, "Here's the bio sig of the person I want you to kill. I can't give you a name and how much your payout is, you will know that when the job is complete." I doubtFett or any other BHwould take the job. I'm quitting the game if this really happens.





You guys really don't read real good, huh?


It said names are gone.


It did not say payouts are gone, it said you will no longer be able to tell the relative strength of the jedi based on payouts.


I am betting that payouts will still be on the terms. You just won't be able to glance at a payout and tell if it is a knight or a brand new paddy.

Whereas I totally agree with MBH being needed to take jedi missions I wish some way could be found, or just the little extra time taken to put in a system that allows expedited missions against those jedi making themselves visible in starport areas.


It's silly that everyone and their mother wants something done about them. Jedi want it stopped, BH's want to stop it, others are tired of it and yet no means of attaining this come out. Where are tef's, where is a real punishment for doing this, why isn't something being done when the masses ask for it?


Because it would be for the good of the game and we want it I guess. That or we haven't figured out a way to put the word nerf in the request.
