Well don't worry about the parts of this patch you don't like. It's obvious that garva and the devs are paying close attention to this forum. They'll fix whatever Tanks has a problem with I'm sure.
All I can say is it must be nice.

Wait a second. We can't even go inside of our HOUSE when we have a bounty on us? What if we just feel like going in our house? Or our guild hall for a meeting or something? We can either have a BH kill us, or log off for 3 weeks?!
This is just ****ing stupid. I know that some Jedi morons abused housing but this is just ridiculous.
I can understand your guys' frustration, but what they're doing to us has got to be the most pointlessly retarded anything I've ever seen in any game.
Publish 25: Jedi are no longer able talk to other players or even move when a BH has a mission on them.
Chill Mikey. It's the BH Tef, not the Bounty itself.
And think it through....if they made it so you couldn't go in a house with a bounty on your head, that'd be an early warning system.

I would hope so. I can deal with all of these changes except for the removing of the names. That's just stupid! We'll be hunting down guildmates and same factioned jedi. And forget about hunting anyone on kashyyyk
odds are when the notes are released today they will put in that they put in a system to show the faction of the jedi.

I didn't even think of that angle, if your mark is on Kash there will be no way to locate them without a name.
Ouch
I'm a Jedi and I don't even like that one, I think that removing names would be ill advised.
I do like the MBH requirement for player missions and the TEF fix is long overdue.

The possiblity of getting a guildies mission is very very small in my experience. Its not often I see people I know pop up on terms.
All in all good changes that were much needed.
BHs that have the right template can challenge Jedi Knights. That is a fact.
It is impossible to solo kill a full template Jedi that is Master Defender/Master Lightsaber if you are a master bounty hunter. Unless the Jedi is in combat with something else or is afk.

No, its not. Im a Jedi and a BH/CM with some stuff in carbineer. I can kill Knights, of course still not easy, but I feel like I have the upper hand. I also am a Knight, and someone with the same temp as my BH char will have a good chance of killing my 226k Jedi Knight.

yes, but does your template include MASTER bounty hunter? because if these changes go through, you won't be hunting jedi without it.

Wow. I stand corrected. That's not how it used to work. That kind of sucks for jedi that do not wish to fight and, imho, is a bit unfair.

Opposing factional TEF and "bounty hunter TEF" are applied to both combatants as soon as any of the combatants attacks.
This means it only takes one to attack and both get tefs.
If they toss Jedi a bone by either a lower xp loss or a longer 'no retarget' (i.e.1-2 day no vis window) then I dont think there is any issue. This saves issue of Jedi running from BH, and tosses a bone to the Jedi in that regards.

you have to admit it sounded pretty good tho. i always wanted to be a drama major.
but seriously i find it interesting that a patch notes post that concerns jedi and bh equally would have garva explain its disappearance only on the bh forum. so i think there is room for some concern.

They are obviously missing some info from the patch notes. I am sure you will receive the name at some point AFTER you accept the mission. Also, they HAVE to tag the mission with faction to make this work .. .maybe that is what was 'changed' from what was posted as what is really being implemented.

How do you know if your target is online or not when getting a mission? I know when I was a BH pre and post CURB I just went after the first target I found online and didn't care if the price was 40k-500k or whatever.
Now you have to grab a mission, go to the spynet, go out of town, send up the droid.
Hoping all the while not to get the message.
"you're target is not online" or "you're target could be anywhere on kashyyyk good luck since you have no idea who you're going after"
Then you go to the waypoint and find your target. You then have to hope it's not; Same faction, same guild, a firend, an AFKer in a private house, or someone hasn't beaten you to the mark.
I feel sorry for you I really do
