Sorry for jumping into the BH forum guys...Rambow, you make really good points and I actually agree with you on alot of them as well. The BH/Jedi system does need some fine tuning, but not in the way the devs are planning it....but I really came in here to asksomething....


If Jedi didn't receive an xp loss, would you still enjoy the hunting experience that you have? This is really the important issue at hand, as alot of BH's these days claim that the xp loss is necessary...I do think it helps control the jedi population somewhat, but really....if the xp loss is the only motivation you have, wouldn't this new system tailor to your needs just the same? I'm just trying to get some good answers on this one.....I prefer to hunt just to hunt, for the thrill of it. I have a BH on another server that is used for this purpose...I care not to hinder the jedi's progress...I only hunt to experience the hunt and receive the pay.







For me its definitely about the hunt and the fight, and I respectmany of the jedi I hunt. I DO think the loss of 200k of xp is a bit excessive,but I also think there doesneed to be some sort of con to losinga fight with a BH. I wouldn't stop hunting if this was taken away, but it would seem that maybe something like xp loss relative to your jedi's level (level of the jedi not combat lvl) would make more sense...for example;a padawan losing 25k of xp after being killed and a knight losing 200k.


Getting back to the original post, I also don't agree with taking the jedi names of the terms. This would be a stupid "easy" fix for the devs. they can use their heads to find a better solution

There is no mention in the patch notes one way or another that the Jedi will remain anonymous after the BH accepts the mission or once the probot/seeker droid scans are complete. If the Jedi's name is revealed on accepting the mission from the terminal or even after a scan then much of this worrying will be pointless. Since this remains unclear one way or another it is impossible to determine what effect this will have.

Ok let me understand:


The jedi name/bounty amount will be visible ONLY to a MBH?


Anything other than that is tough dookie?


Message Edited by Damyon on 07-05-2005 01:31 PM





Nope... as it stands right now the name/payout is not visable to anyone... for some lame reason the devs think by dumbing down our profession, it will stop the "greifing" of a certain jedi or "bottom feeding" on padawans... like it is OUR fault they are on the terms...


/sigh

Do we actually get anything good in publish 20 besides the house tef thing. This no seeing jedis name really sucks and is just going to bring more jedi fanboys to full templates. I know the xp sucks for them but it was way better than the permadeath that was there before. Why not let them not loose xp and have their jedi temp dead till the next server restart when killed by a BH. This will clear some off the jedi clutter that participates in the GCW.Its notas fun when 75% ofPvPers are jedi.Maybe then you will see more Knights hunted since at the moment there is nothing that they loose upon death. But this is just my opinion.

Well IMO they need to Add Saber Tef and Skill Loss for Knights.. cause ATM they have nothing to lose.

No names makes hunting impossible on kashyyk. I don't know who to target, so i will hate to *tab* all the time. Jedi will have a high chance to pass me without me know that he is my mark.

lol, while you run that macro, tehy target you do a /duel and see that you have a mission on you because tehy cant duel you. then they run away before you even know they were your mark

I am sorry I didnt read all the pages here.. I just got pissed when I saw a guy say that cuasing a player to lose XP is griefing...


So by that way of thinking all the "retry" raids on EQ were me getting grief?... I mean if the puller messes up the pull and gets the raid killed.. Well he did cause us to lose xp.. And then when we went back and it happens again?.. What then?..


You all know full well what is at stake when you start jedi.. You all knew goin into it that you might lose a fight or two to a Bounty Hunter.. It was clearly stated by the dev team that it was the place of a Bounty Hunter to keep jedi numbers low..


As it stands now.. I hate the no info they all seem to be pushing.. But I guess the minimum information sent out is always the SOE way aint it... I have always made it a point to know my target before I kill them.. Even hunted with a few of my marks in the past.. I have turned on them in mid group before.. I have use so many dirty tricks to get them.. I should not be made to guess my way to payout..


This game has about 2-3 more "patches" till its good and dead.. Sure as I am a nasty back-stabing f**k...


PS: I do kill jedi outta hate... Call it what ya will.. Your numbers + the CU cause pretty well all my friends away.. So when my blaster is at your backs..... Cry all ya like.....squeal..... It only makes it that much more fun for me.....

Whats really sad is the Zero Dev communication over these changes... At Fan fest they talked about it... over the past 2 weeks we as a community spoke out against it... they still pushed it to TC... now the boards are in uproar... and still no word from the devs...


Its as if they are just ignoring us.. makes ya feel good doesnt it?

To everyone who says Jedi/Bh system should always be a 1 on 1.... So Bounty Hunters should not be allowed to hunt with friends? I personally loved to hunt knights with 1 or 2 close friends... it was some of the funnest times I had hunting jedi with them all night... Now that is impossible as we are being forced into Solo mode on a MMO.

RAMBOW - I mean no disrespect, but I really can't see how you are not a waypoint chaser now. Do you not use droids to find your mark? And how is removing the names making the BH profession easier?


I understand that you've done a lot of work tracking jedi on your server, but you can still use this information, can't you? Sure, it's gonna suck if you have to travel to your mark to find out who he is, but once you know who he is, you still have the information. It seems to me, that there will be a greater need for hunting after this patch.
