Thread: BHs get their wish...and get slapped, too

None of the BH stuff really bothers me ; Except for the player bounties moved to Master BH. I think that was a bad move, and benifits no one except Jedi.
Agreed, and this is coming from an MBH.
Removing flexibility from our template options only gives Jedi less to think about when building theirs.

Droids will absolutely positivly have to work on Kashyyyk now. Otherwise, it will become a 100% safe haven for Jedi when this goes live.
Right, and I seriously doubt they will fix droids on Kash which is why i'm thinkin we will get Name and Payout when we get the bio signature.
Ok, so you don't know the name of the jedi. So here I am with a bounty, I get the sig and:
1) Jedi is on Kashyyyk - since seekers don't work there, how the heck do I find them? Do I just run around and try and target everything? If we do not get the name at somepoint, then we can not hunt on Kashyyyk.
2) Jedi is ginding in a large group in the middle of a picket longhorn lair - there are 30 pickets running around. I am tabbing to find a named mark somewhere in that pile of pickets and jedi. The jedi all see me coming. They all force run or hop on their bikes before I can target them.
3) Jedi is in an NPC outpost (mining outpost or science outpost) with named NPCs wandering around - again, if I don't have the name, how can I target my mark effectively.
4) Jedi is dueling in Cnet, Theed, etc... - There is no way to effectively target jedi that are "showing off." They are supposed to be rare, in hiding, etc.. right?
I am sure that there are lots of other issues with this. Also food for thought are:
1) MBH + CM + Something will be FOTM. I personally do not like CM, never have since the old days with the use of the mind poisons and diseases. Just really gave me a poor taste in my mouth. Not sure I want to go back to that.
2) When this is implemented, all held missions need to be cancelled, otherwise alts (mules as we call them) will continue to hold BH missions and terminal exposure will be very limited for fortunate jedi that have multiple toons and/or non- hunting MBH friends.
3) On a positive note, it will be much harder for player Alts to hold missions now.
4) Glad house TEFs are fixed.
5) Payouts must grow to pre-CU levels. 226k credits is not enough given the complexity or challenges that BHs will be facing. Also, the fact that it requires MBH, is justification for a much higher payout.
I am sure that there is more.
Thoughts?
what about LOS bug ?
what about droid not working in Kassyk?
I never saw a game, where dev admit thereare a bug, but don t event try to fix them.
Shame!!!

Well, it looks like some evenhanded patching going into the TC. The terms get the name removed and payout is not equal to level anymore. Jedis get kicked from player structures if they have a BH TEF on them. But...now only MBH will be able to get player bounties.
Check out the patch notes here.
As a BH I can see this as being a great change in some aspects. Assuming that its still being considered. I really don't care about the name of the Jedi, just the faction. If this goes through they should list the faction, otherwise me being a faction aligned BH is going to cause some problems, I like my guild too much to go renegade and offing Imperial Jedi.
Being 1 on 1 isn't too too bad at this point in time, I'm in the process of learning my new template and keep getting closer to killing my mark each time I try even full templates. I have to give it a chance before I knock it.

I think it would be wrong to think that they are not trying to fix them.
LOS bug is definately a bug. Droids on Kashy is a "feature". The first one can and should be fixed. However, I'm guessing that unlike other things it's a geometry issue built into the landscape. Now they could go through and fill those spots in with invisible wedges that keep you out and up (in some cases a slight dip in the terrain will cause LOS issues...damn annoying if you're legitimately going after some exp). I think one reason the fix might not be in is because that would mean everyone has to redownload the affected maps. Fine by me, I'm on Cable. Sucks for 56k users.
And anyone who says a bh can take a master defender/master lightsaber jedi anything is just wrong. Try it before you blast your mouth off about knowing about it.
