all you all say this is balanced? maybe in your own eyes, with a pair of horse blinders on.
you all say tuff stay off the terms? and then you could grind about 20k of xp a week.
bring the flames turds,, bring'em

FYI: I still think bounty hunters need to be neutral.
My first mark was in the 80k range. I blastedhim in two hits after tracking him from his doorstep todathomir. I have no remorse for it either.------no remorse,, ok, you dotn have to have it,,,, but atleast admit it is kinda weak though aint it,, 2hit a jedi,,, come on how much fun was that?
And if you're looking for jedi supporters on the bh forum...you're in the wrong place---------- i am just speaking my mind, i aint looking for supporters,, maybe, just maybe a couple of these so called "respec" bh aren't unawareof the actual damage they do to a jedi for 5 seconds of fun.
the equivalent of a jedi xp loss to a non jedi xp loss would be ,,, take a non-jedi double mastery in whatever, reset them back to day zero, and regrind it all back to mastery. that might start to be equal,, oh- and half way through restart again, because another bh came by to say hello
Well, it was fun...attacking npcs really isn't much fun now is it? Plenty of single player games for that. Its called Kotor.
The guilt trip doesn't really work on me. I know that,when I get a jedi, those same people won't care either so why should I?
The xp loss is a tough requirement but they need some way to keep jedi down otherwise everyone will be one. Why don't you suggest alternatives instead:
Alternative 1: Suspend the dead jedi from playing for a week or so
Alternative 2: PermaDeath
Alternative 3: Skill Loss
Alternative 4: No Penalty but make Jedi MUCH weaker since everyone will play them otherwise.
The Alternatives don't seem too much better do they? But we all agree that we need some way to keep the numbers down and exp loss is the only way at the moment.

What's the difference between being a "real" BH and just "having fun"? If you're listed on the terms, you're a legitimate target. Period.Message Edited by Dreamslayer on 05-04-2005 07:52 PM
Omg you actually found a postcu 80k mark outside??
Even I found a 180k mark shaking inside his house in fear when I neared him..funny cause that was like my 3rd mark I've tried and I really have only dueld like 6 times after the cu..and lost every one of them. And the fact that Im holding a 300dps fwg5 is kinda weird considering that all my friends have like 480 dps's
What's the best way to find an open mark?

funny, they used to cry that it took a week or twoto gain back that which was lost. was that all a lie? and week ago they could do it in a buff or less. not saying that it is not harsh at the moment but you know the story of the boy who cried wolf.

In the old system, a BH death + clone typically setme back between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on where I was in the grind. Then again, I was a fast grinder. Nowadays as a full Jedi, xp comes about 1/3 as quickly with a group (with double xp week), or around...1/7 as quickly solo. Once this double xp week is over, a BH death really will take you more than a week to work off (solo, assuming you don't want to land back on the terms)if you grind for 3 hours a day.
I laughed out loud when I read that part, "Jedi should be thanking us for killing them." Yes, thank you for setting me back in my progress. Once the respec period is over, I'll find out your password and log onto your toon and drop the investigation line so you can thank me too! 
It's the kind of attitude I see in this thread that makes me want to keep my Jedi logged on and in my housewhile I'm at class tomorrow.
