How can you say this? You have played the game for 3 months, I have played for 2 years. TRUST me there will be profit to be had. Everyone and their mother was able to kill the acklay and get acklay bones, same for krayt pearls and tissue but they still sell for a nice chunk of cash. You really don't know what you are talking about.






How many BH are on your server? That number of BH will be farming these missions like crazy. Acklay and krayts are controlled spawns. The BH NPC's are automatic spawns that come up when you take the mission.




Last i checked bh missions weren't super fast to complete that and blixtev said the boss npc's would be a RANDOM chance, not every time.

Boss bounties are not their loot. They aren't new content, they're the same content with a higher difficulty.


It wasn't a complaint against the boss bounties, it was a complaint about the excitement over 'new' content that isn't new at all.

Why are people complaining? Easy


Tanks suggested BH's where gonna Love Publish 21. People got excited expecting to be made even more powerful


Revamp of BH NPC marks gets announced, people say "WTH" "Im not anymore Uber", "This is crap, doesnt help us agains jedi"


Ever since Jedi bounties came about this board has turned to garbage it isnt only about jedi ya know. Why do i bother reading it anymore? Every once in awhile something good gets posted. Hmm like NPC mark revamp.


As for how long it took them to fix it. Who the hell cares it was fixed. Christ was it supposed to stay broken forever?


Dont like it? Go respec or grind to something else and shut up already.

But PC bounties are not being phased out. Its not like they said you have to kill an npc mark and get good cookie points that can be turned in for a chance to hunt PCs.





You don't think so?


You think it's just a coincidence that Pub 20 has made hunting PCs more difficult, while Pub 21 is making NPCs more "fun"?

Your right, they aren't the same however they are very close together. You can't have one without the other.

And there's a complain about how it's just a copy of the same thing........


Course when you go like that everything in game is, just with diff skins and dmg numbers.

If by difficult you mean you can't specificly gank low lvl padawans then yes, it was making bh harder.

To quote myself IN context, since you don't seem to know how...


"Let's also assume that the boss marks are 1 in 10. Takes about 20 minutes to finish one of the missions. "


Stop trying to twist my words to make your case.

In that case, your original question is answered by each individual complaint. Your thread made it seem like everyone was complaining *before*. Most of your 'evidence' has beenout of context and from this thread.Now I see that it was just a feeble attempt to stir up crap in the forums.

Why are we complaining about certain things? Because they are legitimate problems that we see that could potentially be bad for our profession. I love the BH profession. I'll still love it when pub 21 hits, and the BH population rises, so that everyone can get our loot.

Honestly after taking a step back, I believe this is one of the best fixes for BH IMO. Come on now, bounty hunter armor will be lootable by Bounty Hunters without a group to argue over looting rights with. In a way we have the possibility of getting one of those cool bounty hunter gadgets they are known for.

You're actually going to wear your BH armor? It's going to have energy resists so low it'll be useless for hunting Jedi with.

Look at the positive side of it. Sheesh.

At least we have a good chance to loot BH armor. Even though I can't wear it, I'd still like to have it in my collection.

Seems kinda silly when every other prof in the game is aching for any tiny bit more content and finally a prof gets some content they snap and bite at it like it's a bad thing.


I'm sure if you guys don't like the content the jedi would take some instead/tease






Quality, a trolling posts whining about people whining.

No, it made it so that 50% of the bounties I randomly pull are +200k and ganking rebs in Theed (or Imps in coro) while the other 50% are untrackable on Kash.


So now instead of grabbing a 180k bounty I could handle, I can either spend 2 hours searching the instances on Kash, or 2 hours waiting for a MLS/MDef/H3000 to be low on health/force
