shielding makes it impossible to take their mission....putting a timer on new missions after dropping a set number of missions makes it impossible to shield....actually forcing people who otherwise were immune into the BH mechanic, again, I don't think you understand what shielding is

removing the names pretty much prevents shielding, that isn't that big a deal..........

how about a maximumlimit of killing a jedi 1-3 times a day depending on their level, after all with your way you're not stopping the jedi from being ganked all day long, you are only stopping the aBH from hunting.




because it only stops one bh from killing one jedi....the limit on dropped missions hurts no one except those that abuse the system to selectively target...there is a 3 day window on any BH mission...if someone's in a house or on kashyyyk...they will leave eventually, and you have your chance then, if theylog off, they will be back, again, there is your chance...if you prefer to drop it and pull another target, you can do so, you justcannot do so indeffinatly until you get a specific target or type of target without sitting out for a bit.

how often do people "sheild", really? while this can limit the chance it harms other honest BHs




all those who's name you dont see on the terminal...theyre shielding...far more common than you may suspect

yes so after publish 20 each jedi is going to have 3 of his friends go through all the hassle of getting his mission and then they'll have to do it every 3 days. you do realize how ridiculous that sounds right?

and if i kill you you can't clone or be res'd...fair trade.


now, go back and reread, or don't, as it appears your stating you will be abusing selective targeting.

i read what you're saying, you say i should spent 72 consecutive hours online waiting for a jedi to leave kashyyyk or a house.

your choice, but during that 72 hours, you could instead pull 8 other missions, either way you have a good chance at a target, and very little potential to be shielded against or abuse the mechanics for your own purposes









how could i pull 8 missions? under your system i'd be penalized for dropping the first mission. your plan is obviously flawed and pretty much completely unnecessary.

ahh yes i see, i thought you meant 8 missions that day, either way this plan is still unnecessary and the only people getting any kind of benefit from this are jedi, if you want more people pissed at your profession i guess you can push for this. after pub20 though you guys have it so easy i don't know why you'd want it even easier cause that just means you'll get your power reduced eventually.

gosh...you are a lil out of it...we have already lost our power....we're outdamaged and outhealed by rifleman/docs or rifleman/cm's...BH's are weaker than the afforementiond combos because they have the ability to attack us, any time, any where, with no warning or reason.

and...IT DOESNT GET ANY EASIER THAN BEING SHIELDED AGAINST BH ATTACKS BY FRIENDLY BH'S...WHICH THIS PREVENTS


and...just for the record...now that we are weaker than regular professions you will see us recieve boosts in order to get us to the intended 1.5 > than regular full templates. at which time, MBH's will probably see their own boosts to counter ours.

Generally, it's not just his plans that are flawed...
