If BHs could 'grind' on kashyyyk, I'd gladly accept BH on terms.

Mark of a devoted Bounty Hunter:

"..so ill use the tactics i can against whoever i find, i mean my own brother when he played was a fairly strong jedi ( made it to like, iono, 180kish...?) and i hunted him and i could hear him yell from upstairs"

Bounty hunters need more targets for missions... Why should I be your content? What is wrong with this game! If a player base can hunt another player type, let them hunt MOST player types, because really, why should one proffession be another proffession's only content.


Oh, and how do you think Proffessions like Carbineer, Pistoleer, Rifleman, Swordsman, TKA, Fencer, and Pikeman get along without hunting Jedi... what makes you guys so special...


Sorry, just venting, just got ganked by a bunch of BHs at the same time my virus protection software minimized my game... lost 162k xp....


Wouldnt it be funny if BH's lost 162k xp when they fail a bounty mission? Oh yea, I forgot bounty hunter isnt supposed to be a dangerous proffession, like Jedi...

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.

The whole thing is just dumb.

Police issue a reward for the imfomation leading to the capture of XXX Criminal.

1 out of 100 people find the criminal. the other 99 then have a reward placed on there head for thier capture as well since they didn't find the criminal. Stupid.


I am can agree to a form of penalty though.

If you fail so many missions, you get locked out of Jedi missions for x amount of time, or can do NPC missions in the meantime to "Rebuild" your reputation.


Though we are not assassins, ect. We go, look up bounties, anon, and seek out the mark.The person who placed the bounty nevereven knows we attempted the bounty (in game standpoint). We see bounty, say "Heck I'll give er a run". Then go after the mark. By us killing said mark..we then are able to prove we killed the mark, and then recieve our reward.


Only way it could work reasonably is to place an anon bounty.

....

"Find this vile Bounty Hunter (whom we do not know anything about at all really. Not even sure how we know they failed a mission we posted for all BH's to see, as we have no contact until they complete the mission) and kill them. Becuase They were killed by a Jedi".

....

Thays just stupid, sorry but it is.


I of course would have to ask for more too then. As jedi can be much more powerful than a FT Bounty Hunter. Our advantage is picking when and kinda where. Where is my advantage if I am grinding, and am low on health, and get jumped? Where is my extra charcter slot to? play on in the meantime, when I know I am being hunted? Where is my advantage?

If I wanted to be randomly attacked I would go SF, or turn Jedi.

Have a nice day

So are you scared to get hunted? This post is ridiculous. Many bhunters openly admit that the only reason they hunt jedi is to grief them to the point of making them quit the game.


Weget 0 penalties besides some decay if you die from a jedi(guess what they are not going anywhere NEWS FLASH). Just remove all jedi xp loss take them out of the gcw and let us bhunters hunt all players who participate in the gcw say through so much negative faction or whatever the devs work out.


I mean really how fun is it for these jedi to stand around in theed or the mining outpost and have their stupid duels. The effect wears off after a few minutes. If that is the end game for jedi let them have it.


Also make my at-st worth something and make a jabba faction so that the hutts can pit out bounties on players as well for both factions. Most smugglers would welcome a bh attack. As would alot of others I would guess.


Take it or leave it the devs will do what they want so maybe they can implement some of my ideas to better this game.



Thanks

The point of visibility for jedi isbecauseALLjediare wanted dead by the dominant enity in the galaxy...the EMPIRE. When a Jedi irresponsibly reveals himself as being such, he gets himself thrown on the terminals...period. JEDI ARE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! Being hunted is the devs attempt at keeping jedi somewhat in check...to no avail There is absolutely NO reason a Bounty Hunter should be on the terminals.


I believe there should be a player bounty system, but a voulentary one.


Hey Jedi, you DO remember that you have another character you can play right? You Jedi isNOT a regular character, its a BONUS character that you've worked to unlock, and is subject to penalties if played irresponsibly. If you don't want to be hunted, and want to chose a PvE style of play, then play your regular character!


Bounty Hunters do not have this option and absolutely shouldnot be put on the terminals.






Depending on the rules, it could be entirely voluntary. Nobody forces a BH to hunt Jedi.


And our Jedi aren't "bonus" characters. They're our mains. The unlock character is the "bonus".

True but considering everything, jedi should be subject to special treatment in the game. They're not supposed to even exist.


Oh my bad, never having playeda jedi, I must've understood the whole unlocking thing wrong. But considering everything, including StarWars facts, jedi are special characters and the rest of my post does apply.

So if jedi did not exist who would you have to hunt down? NPC's? Thats's what old school bhunters did. I would rather have them fix the GCW then this pointless complaining between these 2 professions. If you have to make jedi playable by all then you will complain that there is not enough challenge etc etc. Quit whining about timelines since they obviously were thrown out the window long ago. Ask for all player bounties instead of complaining about jedi that will get you nowhere.

Jedi are upper i fail to see why bh even are consider to lose xp or place on terms for a failed mission. Bh are weak fighting a jedi thats why 5 bhs vs 1 jedi came to be unless you make bhs as equal as jedi so i don't see this idead going through.


The only jedies who want this are low lvl jedies and if this passes your going to see allot of bhs going after low lvl marks cause there isn't talk about peeps who take their own mission so their jedie won't get ganked when lvl jedies grind.

I thought the BH mission's against jedi were to force jedi to stay hidden and to punish them for failing to. The more fixes that come to jedi the more I think that the DEV's want to be making jedi academy. Once again we get a punishemnt for not playing a jedi or trying to get jedi.

You didn't "get" anything. It hasn't happened yet, if ever.

Well first, Jedi bounties are acceptible because the Jedi is basically an outlawed profession during the time period that SWG is set in. Second, Bounty Hunters are a perfectly accepted profession in this time period... obviously because the Empire employs them to find and deal withvarious undesirables. So if Bounty Hunters are placed on terminals, I say that ANY player should face the same possibility.. in fact, lets just get it out there and implement player bounties on any player and any profession!Why the heck not? Nobody seems overly concerned with the continuity of this game in the context of the whole Star Warsstoryline so lets have the Jedi hunting bounty hunters, scouts hunting muscians,riflemen hunting dancers.. oh yeah, that's right... the Empire has not outlawed any of those professions. As I recall, with Luke Skywalker their view was pretty simple... join us or die.Old Ben Kenobi had to hide out on Tatooine as did Master Yoda on Dagobah. Vader as I recall was directly under the Emporer's control. I wonder... has anybody at SOE actually seen Star Wars?
