Thread: Lava Suicide this was warned about in Beta

No it's not, because if we don't get a mission complete, we aren't happy.
ffs :rolleyes: it stops them from suiciding though as they will take a straight XP hit, therefore it would be better for them to stay and fight and try and avoid the loss by defeating the BH.
Its called a compromise you bell end.

From the RP stand point, a sucide would count as a completed mission, bottomline. So a BH hunting a Jedi who kills himself should get full payout.
Right, and I agree... but at the same time, this would open up the door to BH teams training mobs onto the Jedi after the TEF is active. Like a Krayt dragon for instance.... SOE wants the BH v Jedi to one on one, and this would negate that. On the other side, Jedi friends could train mobs onto the BH to do the same.
It just opens the door to too much griefing. I don't think anything will happen with this, since it's a known issue, but to "fix" it so that all deaths after the BH TEF are active is too high of a possibility to griefing/exploiting/cheating etc, on both sides.
If you are thinking "ok fine... make it so that nothing can aggro a Jedi while the BH tef is on" you can stop with that too, since BH and Jedi friend could get the mission, and bypass all kinds of content on the avatar, dwb, corvette, or myydril caves for instance using the BH tef.
Scenario:
BH fires one shot at Jedi friend to activate the 2.5min TEF. BH and Jedi then run all the through the corvette looting the place blind with no mob being able to aggro them.
That won't happen....

I agree that the bh should get the payout if the jedi dies while the tef is affective. Why because 1 it will stop suicide. I mean think about in star wars. if the bhs mark kills himself the bh can just take the corpse and tell his boss I killed him. This will also prevent the exploit where there friend dbs him
This is reasonable, provided that the BH fails his mission if he dies at any time while carrying the mission, and the jedi loses the appropriate amount visibility as if he had killed the BH. (This is to compensate for less than ethical BH's who drag agro and last ditch to get a one shot kill, or suicide to avoid losing the mission and come back to try again).

You want the answer to this? Well there was once an answer, JEDI LOST 200k XP FOR DIEING IN PVE IF THEY CLONED. I SAY BRING THAT BACK BUT WITH 50K XP LOSS. If you don't like this suggestion i could honestly care less, i have unlocked and grinded 2 jedi and have one of the best BH's on my server, soooo don't care about the flames
kthx

Obnoxiously large lettering and coloring doesn't make your point anymore emphatic. That being that you will speak your mind, and never read this post again, Mr. 298 posts in 2 years.

return XP loss for cloning regardless of the way you died. This is the simple way to fix this little problem.
OK then.
The BH loses the MBH box and the top two invest boxes if he gets killed, as well as all accumluated BH and combat XP he may have on him.
There. Nice and equitable.
