Bounty Hunter Archive

Well I'm not being sarcastic, but, I don't want to hunt unfinished Jedi, I just picked a mission after 9 tries and it turned out he was in a group that were about to take down a faction base, about 5 shots and 10 seconds later he said he never even saw me coming. I only got a measy 30K out of it, but oh well I'll eventually get another mission that gave me a challenge like yesterday.

No one is "losing" anything here other than time. Even then that's a choice WE make as individual players, not the choice of someone else. If you lost the XP to a BH, it's your CHOICE to SPEND the time required to grind it back. YOU are responsible with how you spend your time. Blaming wasted time on someone else (especially in a video game) is absolutely ridiculous.

Now the harassing thing (by harassing I mean taking a low level jedi's mission over and over) I can understand. However the simple fix would have been to not allow a BH to choose the same Jedi's mission for another 3 days or so after the first one, regardless of success or failure.

ok, now my version

Pain? Suffering? what kind of disgusting made up fantasy is that? it was never intended that BH's be able to have the type of impact that they did pre pub 20...you do not have a license to bully, if some people feelthey should,they need mental help in a bad way.

No one is "losing" anything here other than time. Even then that's a choice WE make as individual players, not the choice of someone else. If you got a mission and lost to a FULL TEMPLATE JEDI, it's your CHOICE to SPEND the time required to take another mission track your targetand maybe have a victory. YOU are responsible with how you spend your time. Blaming wasted time on someone else (especially in a video game) is absoloutly ridiculous.

Now the harassing thing (by harassing I mean taking a low level jedi's mission over and over OR exluding all full templates out of preference for weak targets with no ability to defend themselves) publish 20 fixed it...now there is no real possibility of this happening.

Of course we aren't being effective controlling the BH population because the Devs are preventing that with their lack of backbone changes to the game due to Jedi whining. It doesn't mean we are wrong to still try to fight for that intention and goal as a BH.

I've been a bounty hunter fora long time and I just think it is the funniest thing looking through all of these post seeing completely assinine remarks about the "purpose" of bounty hunters and we were made to kill Jedi.

Completely false. We were made initially to hunt bounties, which for the longest time was not Jedi. No one but the devs knows what their intent was, but I believe it was what we are heading towards now. Anonymous Jedi - could be a paddy (tho not likely now) or a Full temp. I have a feeling they will add anonymous smugglers to the list at some point too.

Make all the excuses you want to, but imo if you can't handle fighting full temps regrind something else and let the rest of us do our jobs. Not saying I can handle every full temp - I'm stonger against some more than others, but that's the way it is. You can't go out and expect to win everytime. Who cares that a full temp doesn't lose xp? Do YOU lose xp? No, so shut it.

And to those that are really naive enough to think that the paddy's you used to kill is really controlling the population, you need to regrind anyway. The population of Jedi is and always will be out of control - there's no stopping that now. Adapt or move along.

Even if XP loss is no longer an issue for full-template Jedi I have always hunted them because sometimes they like the content of a BH showing up for them and I get the money, it's about the money.

yay fer spunky!!!

One would think that their would be a way to make sure that 'like experienced' jedis and BH meet in battle... so you would not have an imbalance..

NO ONE... not jedi or BH wants to enter a fight they no they have little chance to win...

Seems like the answer to this issue is still 'out there'.

if its the luck of the draw, eryone's happy...yesterday me and a friend were outnumbered 15-2 while that's never something we would willingly walk into, we managed to hold em off for almost5 minutes...we knew from the beginning we were toast, yet we stood our ground and had some fun.

*sigh* Originality seems all but lost in the children of today.

Anyway.. BH'ers weren't intended to have an impact like they did pre-pub 20? Then I guess the Dev's REALLY dropped the ball when someone accidentally slipped in that whole "jedi player hunting" thing. Bloops! Also, the Dev's have stated OVER AND OVER that hunting jedi is not "bullying", no matter the level of said jedi (yet as I mentioned, hunting the same one OVER AND OVER is NOT intended). I think some still take this game far too personally. Get a grip, and get over it.

15 to 2 and you held em off? thats kinda ridiculous ... i sense ... a presence i havent felt since ... the last jedi nerf ...

Facts are being having both toons a jedi and a MBH.. your not controlling a jedi pop or could ever do so a jedi is a jedi doesnt matter if hes -10 mill jedi xp or full temp there still gonna play. and really if ya did ever control the pop then your making peopla leave the game and thats just real macho of ya i must say im impressed...

That kills me i dont want to hunt full temps cause of the cost lol but i like to make low level padawans loose xp well how does it feel you actually have a little to loose now. personally as a BH i wouldnt mind having an XP loss on that toon mabey like lets say having to regrind master lol

your only real complaint is that you wanted a jedi served to ya on a silver platter no effort 5 shots and dead jedi. then instead of moving on you go hit him again like 45 minutes later and over and over till the jedi is -10 mill xp and then justify you actions as pop control. as for takin on a full temp jedi some can be done and some i feel cant be killed by a solo BH but really thats the point of being a BH ive takin down full temps solo and ive died alot but really taking down a knight to this day is a total rush i really feel like i did something as BH and as a BH i never talked trash to jedi i mean you just dont get it its a long grind and alot of crap to go through to be a jedi and a knight should be Uber it shouldnt be a fair fight but thats the challenge of BH makes ya use your brains but i know you have alot of button pushers out there now and wait till the jedi is in a mob fighting before ya attack and thats cool i guess... as a jedi i feel bad for the good BHs i know getting thrown into the same group as these new guys.. and as a BH i feel ashamed by posts like these "i dont want to hunt a full temp jedi"

I remember my 1st BH toon i had 4 MBH toons at one time i hunted jedi on a few servers i guess but i went months and months getting killed then i saw i was loosing agian and again cause i was making the same mistakes over and over.. then aknown MBH on the server told me even if your 200 loses and 1 win vrs a knights its worth it for the rush you feel for killing a knight then it will all sudden make sense to ya and the kills will come after thatits just getting to that point that takes a while... you see your mistake is that you grind MBH in lets say a few weeks and you somehow think you have the right to compete with kinghts and full temp padi's you think jedi is the only long grind thats where ya wrong the longest grind ive done ever was my MBH combos and learing how to compete with the odds agianst me and its a total pain cause you must learn to change and try new things and theres no set formula to fight a jedi only knowledge is your weapon that blaster you have is just for looks!!!!
