Thread: Most Embarrassing Deaths To Jedi

First of all, there are no Jedi Masters in the game anymore. ok he had the jedi master tag, is that good enough?
Secondly, if you couldn't manage to kill one perma-snaredJedi with 2 Ranged professions and 2 otherJedi pounding on himthen it's not a question of anyone being overpowered, it's a question of you not knowing how to PvP. good point
Way back in the day when I was a BH, I got laid out really bad on my first mission.
Me and a friend, both grinding BH together, had just hit Investigation III. Me for the second time (reground BH just for the hell of it). This was Pre-Pub 9, BTW. Anyways, when I had first mastered BH it was when the game was fresh and new and BH was the god class. No Jedi to hunt and investigation was a royal pain. Anyways, here we are, we have these fancy schmancy vehicles to help now, but it's still slow as hell, especially with shuttle waits.
So, we decide we're gonna take the short route. It's only 6 Jedi kills to the next box! How simple is that? If we both grab missions and help each other we should be done in no time, right? Ha ha ha....
Well, for everyone not holding their gut laughing at this point, let me explain the Pre-pub 9 days. BH sucked. Hard. A Master Dancer had better defensive mods than a Master BH. Jedi was a super-uber god class, not like we are today. Sabers could do up to 2k damage a shot, sometimes higher. Granted this was kinetic damage, so composite armour blocked 80% of it, but they still hit majorly hard. Group TEF was still about, so a Jedi could sic a 20 man gank squad on you if he got attacked. They had the 75% block rate of the day and could wear composite armour, making them walking tanks.
Basically, if a Jedi got to Master (or as close as they could get, 4/4/4/4 Guardian, they were gods. They could literally take on 5 BHs at a time and kill the lot of them without breaking a sweat).
Anyways, back to the story, me and my friend go to the mission terminal and pull the first two missions we can find. Now in those days, 95% of Jedi missions fit into the following categories:
1) Glitched. Jedi could use a logging glitch to screw up your droids into saying they weren't online. In essence, it would be like trying to hunt a Jedi without any droids at all.
2) AFK on rooftops. Jedi would periodically grind on the roofs of private buildings.
3) 4/4/4/4 Guardians. The ones that could drop you by looking at you.
Being the naive fools we were, we were hoping for a grinding Jedi, one not too hard. I distinctly remember thinking "Well, how hard can an almost-master Jedi be? I can just use my LLC, my friend can use knockdown shots and his new, fancy pistol. We'll be fine!" We even got another MBH to come along. 3 BH vs 1 Jedi. In these days we'd massacre the fool, but back in those days we were asking to get the floor mopped with our hides.
So we pull two missions. We decide to hunt mine first. Track him to a player city on Tatooine. He had the "Dark Saber Duelist" title up. Great... a 4/4/4/4. Anyways, I draw a bead on him and hit my groupchat message, "There he is! Go!!" Then, I read with horror just as I hit the /lightningsingle2 key a message posted a split second later by my friend "Hey! There's my mark! Open fire!!" I glance over as the combat music starts and see my friend start shooting at another Jedi. One with the "Dark Side Force Master," tag up. Great... if there's one thing worse than one 4/4/4/4 guardian, it's 2 4/4/4/4 guardians.... To compound matters, the group TEF didn't catch, so here we were, two slightly less than MBHs against 2 slightly less than Jedi masters.
All you vets can guess what happened next...
With their trademark crack-hiss, a pair of Lightsabers flared to life. They went for my friend first. He was corpsed in a matter of seconds. I managed to hit my /burstrun macro, which also included a rather commical "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" in spatial chat. I book it, hoping to maybe kite my target and escape with my life. That's when I learned abouttwo little things called /forcerun and /saberthrow.
I suppose this didn't really count as the Jedi had pity on me a few seconds after he incapped me. I sent him a /tell saying I was just grinding BH. Maybe it's because I was Imperial, or maybe because he had done the same thing at one point, but either way, he spared me the /deathblow. I was plenty humiliated as it was...

I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you!
Nice to read all these some of these are really funny. Nice to know im not the only BH out there who scr3ws up from time to time. I gotta say the one about tipping the hat had me in hysterics.
Maximum respect to everyone who shared their stories, great entertainment in work.

I have an issue with anyone claiming that anything in this game is 'overpowered' - because I have been around long enough to realize that nothing is overpowered, it's just that almost everything is now underpowered as compared to what it used to be.
If you take your time to go read over any of my posts in the Jedi forum you will see that I get just as annoyed with whining Jedi trying to nerf Combat Medic, or startle shot, or anything else that stops them from being instantly uber. Combat Medic debuffs, for example, are not 'overpowered' - they are what they are supposed to be, the issue that these whining noob Jedi have with a -40 speed debuff is not anything more than the fact that speed buffs were NERFED - so crying for a nerf on Thyroid Rupture is going to do nothing but screw the game even more.
Anyone else remember when fights lasted matters of seconds, not matters of minutes or hours? Do you get bored having to fight someone for an hour and a half only to call it a draw and log off to watch Family Guy reruns? Well, the reason that the game is so slow now, is because everything, from damage to speed to weapons to food has been nerfed out of existence.
I told you in my initial post that I didn't mean any offense, if you choose to take my comments personally then that's your issue, not mine dude.

I have one to top all of yours....
Maybe a month and a half ago (Maybe a little longer) I get a mark that was on Kashyyk. So ofcourse I head straight to the Ryatt trails. I get lucky, and the Jedi is in the very first instance I go to, and not only that, he had been afk grinding and died. So he was in that little Cloning Hut. Just standing there.
So now Im thingkin "sweeeeet...This is going to be an easy kill". So Walk right into the hutt, and since I was hungry, I decided to just hit my auto attack macro, and go get myself a sandwich. Wich is exactly what I did. As I stood up to head to the Kitchen, I hit my attack macro button, and headed for my Ham and Cheese sandwich without even looking at my screen. Keep in mind I thought this was going to be an easy kill, so I didnt pop any foods or even turn on my Deulist Stance..
Remember how I said that he was AFK grinding? And how I walked right into the Hut with him? Well, apparently, as soon as my attack macro started...So did HIS! My AFK BH, was sliced to ribbons by HIS AFK Jedi..Imagine my surprise when I come back to my Keyboard, and notice that my BH isnt firing, and has moved to the opposite side of the hut.

LOL this one is great too
Yet another fun/useful/informative thread degenerating into a flamefest.
Sadly it was only a matter of time.
That /tiphat post was the funniest yet.

I got the message over and over again that I Cannot do XXXX while swimming. The jedi attacked me and I kept healing my self praying that eventually the system would realize that I didn't even touch water, but no I died in about 5 min without ever landing a shot and in front of about 10 other people laughing their asses off that I wasn't getting even one shot in!
Fun Times.

Not mine but a funny one from one of my guildmates. He had tracked his jedi and found him pvp'ing so he charges in all guns blazing and due to some very odd bug... I know people that witnessed this too But while he was mid attack his armourunequipped and he was running up to the jedi in his underwear needless to say the result wasnt pretty.
We all had a good laugh though
I have a story, but it is from the jedi side. I have a BH and tried a few missions with NO LUCK at all, lol. So here it is:
My jedi was afk on talus on my 2nd pc while i am doing bh missions on my main pc......I happen to look over and my jedi is kd'd and being shot by a BH, I dont know how long he was shooting me but i was down to maybe half health before Imove over to my 2nd pc toget himup. This BH was a cm too but it didnt help, I had the major pvp shakes on top of the shock of being hunted.....long story short I incapp quick but the db timer was too long 1 time then a 2nd and ended up chasing him around and getting the kill from 3rd incapp. He was pissed and sent a few nasty tells. After that I never tried to hunt jedi again with my BH.
