Thread: Why is there still a XP loss from BH Missions?

there needs to be a xp loss... thats the only thing to keep there grinding slower and then they dont go waving there glow stick all around.
I haven't been visited by a BH yet throughout my whole grind, so your logic sucks. It doesn't slow anything down. I need 1 more tree and I'm full temp too.

well that is because either you were smart and did what you were supposed to do and are proof that you can avoid viz OR us bounty hunters are too busy fighting full templates every single time.

Either way then, what's the point?
So why not implementa simple solution that solves all ofthe problems in the game at once. Remove Jedi missions from the BH terminals and replace them with the consentual and much anticipated Smuggler missions. The developers can then put in anew penalty system for Jedi that could be something quite simple like, if you die three times in PvP you lose all of your jedi skills and have to start over. If that does not reduce the number of glowsticks we see rushing into every GCW battle on the server then nothing will.It is time we return the GCW to the normal professions, where it belongs, andeliminate all of this hatred that has built up between BH's and Jedi.

Removing exp lose from BH missions seems like a quick and easy solution to solve this problem.
If you still maintain that jedi should lose exp upon death, well, your nothing but a griefer.
Riiiiight... let's give the Jedi even LESS reason to be discreet! Let them run wild! That'll sure encourage them to behave more like Jedi should...
Fact is, if XP loss were removed, Jedi would still run because they'd have "nothing to gain". But they'd be all over the place, doing whatever they wish because there would finally be no consequence for their indiscretion.
Bring back the old penalties - the ones that actually kept Jedi in check.
I love hunting jedi and if the game were exactly the same as it is minus the ability to hunt Jedi I would leave. But and anyone that played on TC for the CU would tell you the ability to hunt jedi is nothing compared to a thriving civil war. The fights in Anchorhead were amazing. It was the most fun I ever had in this game and I would do it everyday if it happened like that. I wouldn't even hunt jedi. These days we get sporadic battles with more jedi than non-jediand the few non-jedi are nothing more than support for the jedi. These support players playasmall role in the battle and if the jeditarget them this non-jedi player no matter what profession they are-is dead. Jedi one on one are not invincible but jedi in teams are devastating.

What you're saying is, "Jedi is already easy, let's just remove the only thing that makes grinding Jedi slightly harder and forget about Jedi being a hard profession."
Bring back XP loss for every death and put Jedi names back on the terminals. Jedi should be scared to wave their glowsticks around in public, and they should pay dearly for it when they slip up.
I used to feel very much like you, and still do to a certain extent, but I have this to ask of you.....
What are the jedi supposed to fight with when in public?
If you want to duel someone, you are more than able to....why are jedi not allowed to do the same? I know, I know.....the time period and all......but as someone else said in a different post, this game is really nothing like the movies, otherwise there wouldn't be rebel controled populated planets, you wouldn't have rebels running around openly rebel (that sounds odd but I am tired lol). Now, some of you are from the days of the frs, where the temped jedi were perma overt.....soooooo....when they loaded into a starport, guess what often happened to them? They got attacked by oposite overts and had to fight. What you see, is a jedi running around in the starport waving a glowstick. Granted, there are the jedi a$$hats that sit around dueling everyone, but honestly, these are few and far between, just like the jedi who say all bh are griefers, as a long time bh I knew that there were some that were griefers, but most bh were not.
so again I ask, what are they supposed to use-and not coming in public is not an answer, as they pay the same ammount you do to play....
are they supposed to use ranged shot with a rifle with no accuracy or speed? Oh, wait-can't do that, because the minute a jedi whips out a rifle and starts layig waste to someone, we here "that is crap-you are a jedi-jedi use sabers, not rifles" or some other argument.
Here is my solution. The Empire gets strict with its ordinances and enforces a ban on ALL WEAPONS within cities, as would be the case in all actuallity-noone can so much as hold a weapon without getting ganked by troopers, and don't even think about shooting/unsheathing/igniting it....casue then the nova troopers swat team comes out. If you take the jedi's weapon away, then every weapon should go, because they are all equally stupid.
if a jedi is fighting someone in town, they are showing off.
everyone else doing it is just playing the game..
it's things like this that make me laugh at the hypocracy and stupidity.

my point exactly

do you guys actually think about what you are saying...
this is exactly the point, since 99% of high end content is npc based, 'punishment' for engaging in it, with an end game character is beyond reason.
I certainly do think about what im saying, Jedi is a character with extra power and is something that should be used rarely by the person who managed to unlock it. When you use it people should be really excited to see you and when they do it makes their day. You should be able to use your toon for npc stuff but rarely. You have been given another character to play most of your time on, and you can bring the Jedi out when you want to but there should be great risk assosiated with this, which would discourage you from abusing the power that you have.
I believe this is what teh original design was meant to be.
so why is the risk still there. and working to unlock somehting so you cant play it is a concept no one can seriously argue..
