That's great... but, wouldnt it make more sense when you get teh bio, you get the jedi's name? I mean, it doesnt make any sense to do it otherwise. Thats like getting a DNA test and then not knowing who the name of the person you get the DNA test from until you go and meet them. If we can get a Bio signature, then how hard is it to includ the name as well?

The truth is, when I go after a 226k Jedi, I win about a third of the time, die abouttwo-thirds of the time-- which is the way it should be. I think people who say that 226k Jedi are unsolo-able are confusing a sure win with a difficult win.





Really not the topic I was trying to address.

Yes, this will help with house-mice, but if we show up at a planet to use a seeker and the arakyd WP is at the same spot an AFK bounty was, it's pretty obvious it's the same guy. If it's not in the same spot, then it'll probably be an unsolo-able 226ksince all the paddies will be grinding on Kash.

Man, you need to start your own BH school because my bet is even the correspondent doesn't have your credentials. You rock. hehe.

There, fixed it for you Tanks. I'm happy they put the names back, but not happy that Kashyyyk, a supposed quest-oriented planet, allows such a safe haven for grinding.

Good work!

Now all you need to do is to get the devs to listen and change Jedi hunting back to Inv IV box.

There still is a big problem - the name is unknown if the mark is on Kashyyyk.


The only thing they need to do now is remove XP gain from Kasyyyk to make it a FULL Dungeon-Type Planet.

I personally see nothing wrong with removing XP from Kashyyyk, you can get just as much on other planets. If this were implemented, then things would start being set straight!

Thanks for all your work Tanks!

the only problem i see with this is it still leaves the chance for bounty hunters to hunt low level jedi simply by collecting names and not give any of us full temp jedi any fun. as soon as they see u are full temp they will dump your mission and go get another one that is lower level.

Well guys I'm glad to see they gave you all a name at least. I still feel that the removal of group vis + the BH term changes was big time overkill. Removing group vis would have put an end to the paddy griefing, the rest was unneccasary. Being a low level paddy myself, I can honestly say that I have been to Kashyyyk 3 times total, tried the Ryatt trails once, too laggy for me, and went to the caves twice, caves were pretty cool, but still laggy, and to be honest the XP wasn't that great. I agree that they should just remove xp from Kashyyyk all together. If the AFK grinders are whats causing the lag, maybe by removing xp and putting an end to AFK grinding there, I could go enjoy the quests. Just my 2 cents worth, not all Jedi are out to get you guys.

Woop-tee-frikkin-doo. Doesn't do a thing to discourage the Jedi on every corner problem with the game. Encourages more Jedi flaunting and all the lovley things that come along with it. I wouldn't call this listening, I'd call it comforting someone to make them feel a little better about lashing you're about to give them.

Nice job Devs...

ya, the problem and it's a big one for me is kashyk. now before a jedi points at me for crying about kashyk let me just say this. i don't mind jedi grinding on kashyk, and i don't mind our seekers not working there. if the devs wanna breed jedi like rats then that's fine....but i don't wanna walk around that planet hunting jedi either, which works out great for those low level paddies. BUT... if we are gonna continue to give these jedi the kashyk grinding sanctuary can we show that at least on the terms so i don't have to waist my time sending out probes to find out i got a paddy on kashyk. it's gonna make the terms way to boring

atm i hunt high end jedi so i don't need to worry about that problem but if i can't tell the level of the jedi i'm gonna end up getting the missions of a bunch of noob jedi grinding on kashyk and there's just no real point to that.

what i am saying is that the devs and jedi want a place where they can grind in peace, fine..at least let us bh bypass those players so we aren't wasting our time. if you think about it it works great for both side. the jedi noob doesn't want to be hunted while grinding and i don't wanna walk around kashyk to hunt them so give us an out there




I agree 100%. If Kashyyyk will continue to be the Jedi sancuary and AFK Grind prime location, then Jedi that are on the planet must be filtered out when generating Bounty Hunter missions. It can't be that hard to add that one extra filter to check which planet they're on and not include those on Kashyyyk. The only ones that benefit are Droid Engineers who make the probe droids.

is this what you were referring to when you said

Sorry, I tried, even got into a bit of a rumble with an anti-PvP/PvE Jedicorrespondent (not the Jedi corr.)that popped into my thread on this matter. The final word came down just a bit ago. It will go to Master.


The caveat:


You'll just have to wait for Publish 21, there is some love comin'. .








id rather have no name and still be able to use invest IV to hunt jedi, since you still have a chance 1on1 vs. full template when you dabble.
