Bounty Hunter Archive

I only have medic 0020 and I beat plenty of Jedi.

SWG is supposed to resemble the star wars movies.. which were 6 movies of Bounty Hunters chasing Politicians and Smugglers.. and here they take bounties on Jedi. Symmetry.

This is the most ironic post i've ever seen, the servers are choked with Jedi and you want the game to be more like the movies? and you post about it in the Jedi forum?

---

Well, thats what the developers claim. /shrug

He said resemble, not exactly like..... And the game does resemble the movies. Its not exactly like it but its a game.. I have a BH alt and I think it would be cool to hunt other professions.. Get the smuggler revamp out so they can start doing what they should be doing then when they fail hunt them to.... Its an idea is all

---

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see smuggler missions, especially if there is nothing to loose on the smuggler side. I gave up on hunting Jedi a long time ago due to all the hate and BS.

However to say that this game, in its current state, is like the movies? Nah.

---

Yeah, I agree. My response to what the devs said about SWG being like the movies was,"What exactly are they smoking?" Was good for a laugh in guild chat I tell ya.

most important thing to remember when killing a bh, beat the hell out of their armor, ruin it, triple incap as always, but do as much damage to their armor as possible before killing them, its all the payback we actually get. )))

I think that's a terrible idea. Jedi are the Alpha class, and should be able to defend themselves from a normal profession. If you can't, sucks for you. Don't get vis. Plus, losing 2x of the bounty would make it so that BHs have no real incentive to take the mission (If you win, you get 1x of the bounty... if you lose, you get 2x. Why would you ever want to hunt Jedi if that was the case?)

Furthermore, aborting the mission could come from many things (mark logged, is on Kash, etc.) It looks like someone got hunted today and wants to make it unattractive for BHs to hunt...

Amen brother.
As Jedi, I expected to be hunted. Running around an "anti-jedi" galaxy with my glow stick in the open and expecting impunity is absurd. It would rather be like joining a football game with friends and expecting not to get hit or tackled. It comes with the turf.

There are many cries about Jedi population, Jedi power leveling , Jedi this, Jedi that. If anything, if the BHs were stronger (or more better spoken, better PvPers) this could be a major (and DESIGNED) impedement to Paddies leveling.

As for those who say that this game does not resemble Star Wars Movies because there are too many Jedi, I say this: In the movies there are only a dozen or so principle characters. In SWG there are tens of thousands.

lol its not about that but the game should be balanced it is just a suggestion bounty hunters need a risk thats the way i see it

---

The game is balanced, Bounty Hunter's hunt Jedi and don't get a penalty for dying..if you don't like it, become a musician.

if anything they should increase the payout for bounties and tempt more of them into the profession but give something for the jedi who wins the fight

That would be cool. I like being hunted, I have never sent a hate tell, and I have never complained when I have lost. However, there isnt a reward for winning. Oh well.. one can wish.

Ihave always thought that the more of a reputation a BH has (meaning mark after mark after successful mark) the more popular he gets.

And with popularity comes those whowish to have fame as well and wish to dethrone them. So the more kills a BH racks up, the more known he gets and he gets put on the terms.

not saying jedi should hunt them. But other BH;s would

I used to be in favor of giving the jedi a reward for killing a bh(as it stands, the reward is more vis, oh yeah, just what i wanted), and the bh a penalty for losing the fight. Of course that was pre pub 20. I think that pub solved many of the problems bh/jedi system had. I actually think the devs did a good job there.

As for hunting smugglers, and bhs on terms, yea would be great.But i wouldgoa step further, hunt people who are gaining faction quickly. Not just imp and reb, but jabbas,valarian, tusken, jawa, corsec,nyms, corsair and so on.When someone is gaining alot of faction or losing alot of faction, I thinkthe rival of the faction being gainedand/or thefaction being lost couldplace a bounty on the terms (npc placed, just like the jedi system).When the BH takes down his mark, thatmark loses some of the faction they were gainingbut doesnt not get any faction backfrom the who the bounty was placed.Not a huge fine,just faction, (no xp lose) but it would be nice for the bh's to hunt others too if they so desired.

This would do 3 things. Make working for someone other then imp or rebel somewhat viable. Those afk loot macro runners willendup on the terms. Those afk faction farmers standing around starports killing the same static spawn over and over will be on the terms. People talk about jedi ruining the game, nothing ruins it for me to see a bunch of imps standing around as another imp is beat down over and over by an afker.

One last thing, you could use this for a content type of thing for BH's and an alternate to the village. After you do so many missions for a certain faction (large number) you are able to gain more then 5k faction for that particular faction. (Nyms, jabba and so on) With the more faction, you can take on harder npc missions for afilliated faction and get better rewards. I think that would take alot of code work though. Doubt soe would do something like that.
