I'm actualy very happy about these changes, except for the Jedi names being taken away. I used to be a MBH but didn't really like it, i'm sure alot of people only have 4000 BH just so they can hunt Jedi. I don't like thatn this is easier for Jedi now but hopefully it will al even out in the future.

You do get the names of Jedi once you accept the mission. However, it'll now be impossible to see who the mission is against before you accept.

As for how to determine payout without the Jedi skill...personally, I'd love to see a system where a Jedi's mission gets more and more expensive with every BH he dispatches. At that point, a 1mil cr payout for a Jedi will be a good fight...you know it's a player with skill and someone who has been in fights before.

Bounty Hunter Jedi missions (1) no longer list Jedi names



This sucks. So now I get to hunt down my guildmates, but I can't go deal with that jerk jed-eye who is dueling at the starport?








Ya this makes me very unhappy, when hunting most of my marks I don’t use tracking driods, mostly PC informants that tell me ware they are, investigating my marks to find out what template they have, finding out their weakness both template and ego flaws, and actual hunting them down using my skills. You know CONTENT!!!, now that I don’t know the name of my mark, they might as well be NPC’s


I think this is bad for jedi too, the jedi jerk who posted all over the forums about how uber he is, duel in front of the starport all day can now do so with out worrying about some BH coming after him because of his behavior, however the noob jedi that keeps a low profile, doesn’t duel in front of the starport, has as much of a chance to get hunted as the full template jedi that run around showing off all the time.

Ahhh, so it does give the name of the jedi after you accept the mission? This is good, because my only concern about not knowing the Jedi name was Kashyyk. It would of made it impossible to find the Jedi you are suppose to kill.

Thats a great idea Daikatsu ...

Jedi should get something for survivng BH's

and Bh's should get something more for killing those "hard to reach" jedi spots.

Note thatthis is coming from a Jedi,


I think the fact that they moved Jedi Hunting to MBH is a really bad idea.


-The lack of template diversity means most templete will have glaring weakness I can target to win in a fight


-As a Jedi, I have been waiting to fight a BH who truly knows his profession/template well to overcome me in a fight


-This removes melee BH has a viable option. The range support line inMarksman (30skill pts)is already a big enough penalty for meleer who are looking to enter.


Please don't gut BH more than they have to.


As for the new BH terminal changes. I think that's a good idea overall. However, itseems that the implementationhas some marked problems that has already beenbrought up by others. I just wish that there is some way they can implement that would let you target jedi who are constantly dueling at the starport.

We don't know how it works. If it gives you the name of the mark after you accept...it's not super effective. Don't like the name, shrug your shoulders and pick another at random.


Maybe when you get to the planet where the Jedi is you'd receive a transmission from your informant telling you who the mark is. That wouldn't be so bad. Still has a good amount of anonymity built in, but you're not running in blind.

Okay, so riddle me this? If you can't select a mission based on the jedi's name, how can two BHs get together to hunt a Jedi? Or is this the real point, you can't?


--Mahvet








The positive to this is Jedi BH alts and his buddies or the losers who bought 5 extra accounts to grind BH to inv 3 just to store his missions will have a much much difficult time, lol.


There are several Jedi that I have never ever seen on the terms who I notice dueling at MO, or Theed everyday.

They already do. They get credits and content from other players that no other proffession has the "Luxury" of. Plus you also have this at no risk of any penalty either. I would say thats a pretty good deal IMO.

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.



Never did i see a post from a bounty hunter saying take jedi names off the terminals and make the payout random. I dont go on the bh forums much so i coudl be wrong but we did ask to get the tef problem fixed and thats all i had a problem with.

That's what the OP is saying.


Wish fulfilment: TEF problem


Slaps: Cloak /target exploit removed


MBH to hunt Jedi


Terminals changes.



This assumes, of course, that the patch notes are what's actually going on the server. Been a LOOOOONG while since it happened (long while in internet years anyway) and zero dev posts since.

Who can imagine what happen into the the future ??


Maybe the BH will be stronger then before.

Well lets wait and see what happen,how many other changes go by.

First off I am a Padawan Jedi myself. These BH changes are good for a couple of reasons



  • Stops BH's from hunting the same person over and over

  • When a BH shows up for his mark and sees a group of Jedi grinding togather they can't just take names and CL and go back to the terms and pull that mission

  • stopsa group of BH's from pulling the same mission and just killing the mark without a fair fight. 5 BH's on a Padawan come on how is that fun since the mark can't get any help.
