I wouldn't even participate in a bh vs bh match. I wouldn't take bounties on other hunters and if one came for me I'd either run or stand still and let him do his job because the whole thought of adding BH to terminals is about the dumbest thing the devs could add to this game.

Not at all. There is a Galactic War. As such each side can have their own Bounty Hunters and toss in the free lance bounty equation and pretty much anyone could be a bounty or pay for a bounty on anyone else, even a Bounty Hunter. I know it sucks, we may have to face some of the grief but hey it would be added content and since it doesnt take away our skills, xp, or anything known to me yet, why the hell do you care

This is a dumb idea, because it is simply TOO EASY TO FAIL A JEDI MISSION.

The term "failed" is too general. It should be if a BH is KILLED by his jedi mark then he gains "visibility points" on the terms. The only thing that should clear those points are completed missions, death at the hands of another BH or if the marked BH killed his attacker. That would be fine with me. Remember, bounty hunters didnt only hunt jedi, they hunted whoever they were paid to hunt. Either way what's the big deal, it isnt like we are going to lose xp...just make sure you are insured and cloned. A worthy BH should provide just as much excitement as a well rounded jedi....seeing that we can heal for 1200 every 30 secs and have the right armor. Let the fun begin!

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.
Yes, I have no trouble finding someone, why do you? If you dont hunt then you have no right to be called a Hunter. Go do 20k missions, the NPCs dont hide... though some do run and some skip across planets etc... Hell, if you think the wookie planet is hard to find someone on, your a flipping retard in my book, that or the jedi is cloaked and you dont know how to /target "name." It just takes time and .... EFFORT. But keep crying and whining and saying how hard it is and those of us who have a clue will find our mark while you flame SOE and grow irritated at your ownlack of skill and laziness.
Advise: Get out and try to be a hunter instead of a complainer.

A full template jedi is supposed to be unkillable 1.5x, etc. Caelrie will enlighten us all).
If the game is going to be set at 1 BH vs. 1 Jedi, then it seems to me that a full template will be perfectly safe, and we will only be able to hunt paddys.
That doesnt seem to go well with the failed mission ideas here.
One added complication to that is, in addition to removing names, they're going to remove pay-outs. Now, of course it's just talk till it happens, but...

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.

I remember reading an EU book where Fett is telling a young bh the code. Fett tells him something like you can never attack another bh unless you are after the same mark.
After all a jedi is just a mark for you, the other bh is competition and is trying to steal your mark.

Yup. We get everything handed to us on a silver platter. Look at all the protest threads we started asking for Force Run to be nerfed, after all. And that's just one example.

Man I've had it with jedi whiners. They get everything handed to them on a silver platter at the cost of being hunted. They whine about a class that's been ignored by the devs for the last two years. Now that we're finally working (so to speak) you guys want us hunting ourselves because you can't handle it.
No wonder people hate jedi. You've gone from the permadeath extremely rare class you were meant to be, to being a dime a dozen. No matter how many of you we kill you keep growing in numbers. Jedi are a disease.

Thats whats you get for 2-1, you should be put on term. But hopefully they will change it that only 1 BH can attack a Jedi.

Ive been playing SWG forever and the only talk about nonjedi BH missions was to hunt smugglers as a part of a revamp for them.
But the only thing i can think of is some DEV is getting messed up by grps of BH all taking his mission together.
I honestly dont see why BH would get out on the terms for loosing a jedi mission when He dies to the jedi when hefails the missionso in reality your clone who didnt loose the jedi mission has a BH mission on him for the person he is cloned from failing.. Thats like smaking a kid for what hismurdered dad did. And besides all the BH with mission can hide on the wookie world and be safe =). And if this happens will we be the absolute gods when it comes to killing jedi? will we be able to solo full templets? will they still complain when solo BH kill them, the BH should have to be grpd to kill full templets, but the BH shouldnt be able to grp?
And whats this garbage about not knowing whos mission you have for jedi. when will you know who it is when the droids update somewhere and you go there and see them, what if they are on wookie world how can you ask freinds if the jedi is certain places.. or what if by gods you have a jedi freind or aagrement not to hunt your guilds jedi oh well gues they are SOL.. I mean all through the movies the BH knew who they where after. It just doesnt make sence to me lol, gues it messes up the macro i run cause droids never work for me i just run a /target *jedi name* and run around my waypoint until i find them, sometimes i even find them at the shuttle port before i even start for my waypoint.
Just some ranting from a old BH who tried to be a paladin and hated being the good guy.

So you want to hunt w/o any risk of retribution. You want to just gank little paddy's. Thisis too good. And the old saying all Bh have said for a while, if you don't want to be hunted don't get on the terms. SoI hope you all get a taste of what jedi have gone through. With all the respec BH, it should thin your crowd so the good players stand out.

As a Jedi AND as a "little paddy" I gotta say, that's not fair.
Jedi signed up for Jedi knowing, or should have known, that Bounty Hunters were a part of their existence. They knew, or should have known, that XP loss was part of their existence.
Bounty Hunters have never been hunted, and until recently never had reason to think they would be hunted, much less that they would face penalties for being hunted.
In short, that's not the job they signed up for.
