Payout increased? you'd have to kill 140 225k marks to have the money to buy stuff to the value of 31.5 million...and thats assuming you dont use/decay any food or armour or weapons while your doing it.

Hopefully our new "content" after the server boot today will go someway to offsetting the gross underpayment of our current player hunt missions...maybe then I'll get some pvp practice and be able to take down a 225k mission.




At a 500k payout, the number of marks would be reduced by about half.

The point I'm makin is that even reduced by half its still a lot of full template Jedi you got to kill, 70 full temps? BEFORE you can afford the tools to do so?

For eg. I spent a million credits the other day on food alone, now I know thats going to last me for a month or so, but the simple fact is that I'd have to win 5 full temp missions to offset that investment (125k left over...), and as we all know the % of success against full temp jedi is not 100% (nor should it be) but in my case that % of success is closer to 2-5%, and that means I'm going to have to run 100's of missions and clone 100's of times, by which time the food has gone as well as my armour/weapons. And so the circle begins again, but this time not only do I need food but armour and weapons as well, and thats a lot more than 1 mills worth.

But again, as I stated in my 1st post I'm hoping that the NPC missions will go someway to offset the cost of being a BH, as for the full temp Jedi missions, I feel that any payment below 1 mill is an insult. After all, if your hunting the best PVP template in the galaxy...should'nt you have the payout to ensure your life insurance is paid up?

I don't get it. Have you seen the jedi boards lately. They laugh at us. Most of the jedi gloat that they can kill the BH in minutes, hell in some cases seconds. I have fought full templates and won after long drawn out duels, and I have had my ass handed to me in minutes. I don't know what to say anymore. I go through million credit armor like it was candy, and I am broke now. I can no longer make a profit and hunt the alpha class.


Anyway, I am not really trying to complain, or whine. I just want to know if you have been watching the jedi. We are the butt of all their jokes now. The agg us on to come for them. They have nothing to fear, no one to threaten them. It is ridiculous what we have become. I know I can wait them out... and choose my timing, but the fact is, I can't make a profit anymore. It costs me more in equipment than it's worth. At least with the FRS, if we did take a Knight and higher out, we would make more than a measley 226k.


Hell, my armor, foods, and weapons cost me 2 million a week.






You should think as you read, sure some Jedi wipe the floor with BH's, but the opposite is also true. I watched a BH come up to a fully temped Jedi, and whip him up good, My jedi just recently finished his temp and I had to run from a CM that was owning me. There are some truths and some BS on the forums..Etough guys that, when they see a post saying this BH kicked my ass, jump in saying you suck I can beat any BH in 2 min...this is not real. Simple fact of the matter is PvP is based on experience and equipment. If the BH has Uber Armor, weapons and knows what he is doing the Jedi is going to have a hard time. Same is tru the other way, If the Jedi has great equipment(saber, SEA's) and is experienced in PvP he will not fear the BH.


On my server, some of the best BH's are Jedi alts...They really know how to take down a Jedi, and for some reason prefer to do it on their BH, this fact does not prove the invincablitiy(sp?) of Jedi.

killing 70 full template jedi is not much work considering that once you do you will have the best high-end armor and weapons that will NEVER decay and you can use FOREVER.


plus there are other ways to make money besides killing jedi. i made 20 million credits just harvesting the last high quality naboo bristley spawn that was on starsider. before that i made 20 million harvesting dantooine leathery.


you people want to be "uber" without doing any work to kill a jedi who did A LOT of work to get his equipment. it makes absolutely no sense. no sense at all.
