Too much to quote from before but I know how the Bounty system works.


I feel that at least for Kashyk marks the seekers could at least give the name once you arrive on the planet or at least just have maybe a Spynet Op there that will give the name of the mark or something, this informant will not give a bio sig but will just give you the name of your mark that you have a mission for. Only reason you guys want the names is for the Player enforced spynet operations that I've seen that will make it possible to locate the mark. I recall seeing my name spammed a few times in kadera felt kinda cool actually just very few came for me as i was a 220k mark. It would make sense to put the spynet at the SP as everyone has to at least go through there so the reasoning for it would make sense.


For the person that said I don't know how the Bounty Mechanics work dude get a clue I've been a BH for quite some time and I know very well how it works. I'm not one of the /respec newbs that I'm sure when they realized they needed arakyd droids they probably went out and bought the pet.


Having the Seekers give the names of the Jedi is a good thing and the real push that needs to be done is getting the LOS bug and /duel fixed. I see BH's that probably have never even set foot on Kashykk complaining about the place only reason I can see some of them complaining is because they probably don't have the Expansion.


Names being removed from the terminals is a good thing because as a Full template I might actually have BH's come for me now instead of most of them Feeding on the less then 100k marks for the easy kills.


Until they decide if they give the names for marks on Kashykk or not it really is just a inconvenience with having to check all the instances for your mark. It's a gamble really. I believe most will be in the ryatt trail I myself have never been in the mydral caverns so i don't know too much about that.


They are making it easy for Jedi now it seems and we are paying for it with all the nerfs from what the profession used to be but hell BH's are part of SWG and as a Jedi I hold no ill will to what they do aside from people exploiting bugs wich both sides do.


I stress again the LOS bug and the /duel needs to be fixed and a minor time inconvenience with having to guess where your mark is really just an inconvenience.


Too many people complain that Kashykk is BH free which is far from the truth the ones that say this IMO have never been there IMO.

Been gone for a few days so just finding this here now! Wow I am surprised. Does anyone know from testing if you can release a seeker droid at any point to get the name. I mean even release it without having to be on the same planet as the Jedi? Normally it will say something about the jedi not being on that planet but I think this needs to be tested. Since it is reporting a boolean expression it should only be returning the name when it gets a lock on them.

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.






I'm tellin' ya ... it's a BH ranking ladder paving the way for a BHRS! It's the only thing it could be.

The biggest problem for me iafter the name s the 3 day decay, it's completely destroyed my playstyle.


I won't be able to observe my target anymore, all the RPing has gone really.

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!






As much as I will get reamed but good by my fellow Jedi for saying this, but I agree... Either remove the xp, or lower the combat level of those wookiees in that hot spot, so they give no more xp, and thus lose their flavor (as I read someone else suggest, can't remeber who). But my point is, with no viz in groups, there really is NO reason to "grind" on Kash anymore. We have been given a HUGE gift with with the group thing, so maybe we should give Kash BACK to the Galaxy.

I have a thought---- if kash is still going to be a seekerless planet then why not give the BE profession somethign like a bh specific pet that can hunt biosignatures on the planet, like a jedi blood hound, it could get you with in say 100m of your mark then you take it form there the jedi can see it kill it then you havt to buy another.I think that woudl be a great addition tothe gaem and be star war lore worthy. I belive there is such a creature in soem of the book on star wars i have read as a kid. It hunted force instilled creatures . That would be great for both sides since it woudl mean more time for a Bh to find the jedi since he has to follow his now created by a BE pet.. liek a slice hlund with special trackng abilities or somethign any thougth on that?






Finally a breath of fresh air from a new (to me at least) idea! This would make the BE prof valid and viable, and give the BH prof a new way to do the hunt. All this whining about kash would have an answer,(for those BH who are too wimpy to take on a full template and are paddy slayers) and if you wil pay attention to the patch notes, only master BH will be able to hunt Jedi. So if it is just about money, go hunt the NPC missions, if you are master grow some pride and get a little self esteem and go after teh full temp Jedi, they wont be on kash, trust me they hang out showing off thier glow sticks to the noobs in Mos Eisley, I know I just started a new character in Kette and there is always some full temp haging out flashing his stick for the noobs.



Okay off the soapbox, the hunting creature is a great idea and could be a good first strike weapon depending on the BE making the animal.



Flame on!

I don't think this went in just because BH's kept saying OMG....but even Jedi were like WTH. As a JediI'm glad to see this change went in. I thought you should get the name at some point anyways. As for Kashyyyk.....I also agree with turning off xp.....too much afk grinding and people getting full templates WAY faster than I did. Only finished a month or 2 ago (during double xp) and I opened pre patch 9.

Just look at it from this perspective. We pointed out a huge flaw in their new fancy dancy design and got them to change it. Shows you that if there is something that a huge chunk of players are against, the devs will listen. I am still shocked they did listen though. I guess it is a good sign.

BHs need to be balanced agains jedis and the other way around - you have worked real hard to do that

If they'd give a "last known location" on the terms which could be totally false with exception of Kash., I'd be 100% satisfied with this Pub.
