I'll be interested in seeing if bounty hunters hide in houses when this change happens. I imagine you won't since you lose nothing for dying.


Of course, that'll mean that hunting BHs is easier and more profitable than hunting Jedi (unless the payouts are VERY low).


Either way I think my respecced MBH will definitely see some action.








forget it, if this were to go live I would never set foot outside my private cantina again.

This thread is partly a vent, but also the main reason we shouldn't be penalized for failed missions. I was hunting a mark, followed him from planet to planet, watched him from afar, waited for the right time to attack, and then made my move. I did considerable damage, and Im assuming he had alot of his sp in defender and/or healer, since he did almost no damage to me, but his health just kept refilling - it was almost ridiculous how much damage I did to him overall. then another BH showed up after about 5 minutes of fighting, and joined in. The other BH had an inferior pistol to mine, and yes I raed through my combat logs to make sure, and he got the deathblow because he was closer when we got him incapped. Failed mission. I got there first, did most damage, and lost the mission because of the other BH's deathblow.

Which brings up another question: If the other bh and I had grouped, and triple incapped him, would we both have completed the mission? and received payment?
Im not pissed about the other bh, thats fine, but I shouldnt have got a failed mission message, and I definitely dont think any of us should get penalized in this instance.




No, shouldn't have there be any penalty for failing missions. Not like Jedi who go LD and get reamed by some coward and lose 300k xp or anything. Lets not actually have there be any penalties for BHs, since Jedi are just BH content after all.





Make us as ridiculously overpowered as Jedi and I will gladly accept being on terms and XP loss to boot, give us have to arse kissing that Jedi get rom the DEvs and I will accept both or one as well. Give me a break, Jedi get EVERYTHING in this game to the exclusion of EVERYONE else, they got this one tiny little thing and still you whine whine whine. Is outrageous.






Couldn't agree more.

Of wait, sorry. Excuse me, I just had to get that out. As a BH I think it would be fun to hunt some of you NOOB respec bounty hunters and add YOUR names to my list of kills in a new list under DISGRACEFUL MEMBERS OF THE TRADE.







so what happens when we get the mission and find out he's on kashyyyk? Force a 2-3 search or get on terms? Bullcrap to me.

Agree. The whole idea is Bullcrap.


I think ANYONE should be able to be put on the terminal if they check a box in their options screen agreeing to it.


If a player tries to place a bounty on another player who has not checked the box, they'd get an on-screen message simplysaying:


"You are unable to place a bounty on that player."


If the player selected the checkbox, you place the bounty amount at the BH term and bingo.


No greif because the target voulenteered, and no exploiting, because the bounty is paid player to player.

I think much of a professions power comes from how well you know how to play it. If you consider Jedi to be ridiculously overpowered then it's pretty obvious you haven't reached your full potential as a bh and are generalizing jedi. Hm you say jedi whine whine whine? read your post again and tell me what you think.

I dont think we should be on terminals ... many things with our proffession need adjustment .. but we are supposed to be ruthless Jedi hunters NOT hunting our own. I do support a way to connect Bounty Hunters and their failed or successful Mark.



Meaning i would rather they institute a method of PLAYER BOUNTIES between Jedi and BH who have battled each other .. n NPC would be used to check the Data base and assign the mission / bounty for thr BH if the Jedi character paid so much to a bank which inturnissues it to whomever takes the mission and successfully kills the BH. Worst thing about this is all of us BH would have to devote SP to defense and healing even more to be able to battle at any time whereas we usually choose the time and place of our encounter and eat food/spice and stuff before engaging ... All nthis doesnt even begin to address what would happen when groups of people are hunting a single BH lol!


ALSO >>> we only seem overpowered for the moment .. after DOUBLE XP WEEK everyone is a young Padawan .. they will get over this hump and we will feel the pain. IMO

Well I for one would never hunt another bountyhunter, even if they add this into the game. I find it distastefull. I like the old bountyhunter creed.

Hmmm, BH vs. BH huh? Interesting, very interesting. This would actually be kind of fun, but for everyone who doesn't want to be hunted, I think maybe you should be able to redeem yourself and get off the terminals by hunting another Jedi and succeeding.Although, I do find it cheap if another BH comes andsteals your kill. You should both get credit for the mission or have thepayment split between you, none ofyou getting on the terminals. Thank you.
