There's just way too many bounty hunters, no thanks to the skill respec (but I've switched to carbines and having fun blasting stuff so positives and negatives almost even out). I've heard rumorsabout how bh players were crying out for something to be done so Jedi hunting can be easier. It was never meant to be easy. Jedi are supposed to be powerful; that's the whole point.

You're not Jango Fett or his son, Boba, not IG-88 butjust a no-name bh looking for easy money.

As far as I'm concerned, this profession may be self-gratifying, but it also gives the player a bad reputation across the entire galaxy. Soon enough or even now people on SWG will be quoting Piett all the time "Bounty hunters, we don't need their scum."

lol.

Now I'm seeing some bh's exhorting the Jedi they hunt for credits in exchange for sparing their lives.If they hunt something else worth morethat'd be fine with me. Lower or eliminate the xp penalty for Jedi, that'd be great. Nerf the bh's, I don't care, rofl. Give the bh's more danger for the money's worth; the Jedi have enough to be paranoid about.

As for saying about not taking a 250k mission, why take on someone you will troubles with, go for the easier targets. While that's all well and good is it a challenge?

Who said it has to be a challenge? I'm not saying that I would grief lower level Jedi or anything like that, but why does it have to be a challenge? I play a BH to make money, not to stand over someone and talk about how uber I am. Sure, I like a challenge, but it shouldn't have to be about difficulty, it should be about profit.

Someone came out with a good idea on another board about jedi missions should be flay pay across the board and character name not given of target till within a certain distance of them. That sounds fair atleast to me. Yes alot of BH posted... well whines about that not being fair to them. But really is it fair you can take a mission, see if the person is online, dump retry... of course BH will say yes it is.

If you had flat pay across the board, then you would be encouraging the exact thing you're trying to avoid: BH's picking on the weaker guys. Secondly, how can you hunt someone when you don't even know who they are? Not only is it strategically impractical, who would take a job when they don't know what that job is? How many employers would say "Hey, I have this job for you, but you have to go to this location before you know what the job is?" I do agree that BH's shouldn't be able to add their mark to their friends list to see if they're online.

BH are supposed to be some of the toughest people in the galaxy but here some are tough adn uber if you ask them... but I won't take Mack McMuscleman's 250k mission, look here is Penfold Mc Weakling for 120k he will do... roxxorz I will own this guy and prove how bada$$ I am. You want the realistic feel of hardly any jedi around but you want to find them within 10 seconds to get your payout and look for someone else 20 cl lower then you to beat snot out of. I would like to see it made so that BH can only take missions of people withing 5cl of themselves or something. Can you tell I don't like the "PWNED UR @@S, I ROXXORZ" cl 80 BH that stand over their cl 50 - 60 targets saying how good they are they took a jedi down. I know not every BH is like that, it's just the few giving the rest a bad name.

I agree with you; I don't like the braggish, boastful, rub it in your face BH's. But for those BH that play the profession the way it was meant to be played, introducing a cap (withing 5 cl or whatever) might be good for in game mechanics, but it's not what BH's are about. I want to get paid, I don't care if I had to fightfairly or if I DB you when you get incapped from something else. Who said BH's had to be noble? It's about the money, nothing more.

I was a bounty hunter at release in 2003 and then i retrained to commando, creature handler. Then i once agian went bounty hunter and did the grind. Now when i was a bounty hunter then i felt much stronger. As of now it has been weakened so that ppl can make all these great templates. I feel that as a bounty hunter that is all u should be. I don't think that implementing the whole cl system was nessecary. This wasn't nessecary #1 now because u have taken the original idea of the game is not built around the hardcore gamer. That being said i was a recent respec bounty hunter. i feel ,i have earned it grinding it out 2 times now. the problem i find is the right combination of skills. I am not much of an oppent in a 1 versus 1 situation. I believe to bring down the stress lvl on both sides the strengths of jedi may need to be looked at. I have a friend who has a jedi and he made a "mage" out of him taking none of the ls skills or the highly defensive skills. My self and 2 others could not destroy or in cap him. This being said for a jedi to complain about people hunting him would be insane the jedi are being hunted in this time period in the GCW they are the enemies of the empire. You have a choice don't play your jedi and not be hunted or face the fact u are a hunted man. I didn't write the books or make the movies and that is what all of this is based off of sorry. that is why i want to be the hunter because it sux to be the hunted.

Also would like to see added so that people could place cash and missions at terminals for other PC's. What would be wrong with that? People forced into pvp? Oh well to bad the end content is mainly pvp. Make the min patments that can be placed something like 200k or more and a person can only be put on boards once in a set time say a week or 2.

Yeah, that's about what I think of it. I think that if ALL BH's were mature enough to collect the bounty professionally,without all that PWN-talk, then they might actually do it. As it stands, a few BH are ruining the chances of that happening, as players will get upset and give CSR's more work to do - which means more money for SOE

I can agree to adding player made bounties......

after everyone gets on the same power level as jedi.

otherwise...no, a level 1 artisan, has no edge, a cl 54 dancer/ TKM has no edge, ect...to much griefing involved...would mean a swg = dead, cuz not everyone is into pvp. Thats why we now have

on Leave

Combatant

Special Forces

Those were added cuz Little punks like griefing....and no MMORPG has a mature enough player base for it.

So nope, not gonna happen.

I have heard arguments from both sides of the fence. I have heard jedi complain about BH's and I have heard old school BH complain about Respec'd BH's. I can see each sides points they are trying to make in this argument. I am a respec'd BH. I was Master Rifleman and Master Creature Handler before the respec came available. First of all, the Jedi need to take in consideration that if jedi was an easy grind to make, everyone would be a Jedi instead of a BH. Second of all, the Old School BH's that have a problem with respec'd BH's need to take in consideration that they are not the only proff that can be respec'd into. I understand that both of these proffessions are time consuming and hard to grind. Master Creature Handler is not an easy grind to do either, in fact it is one of the hardest to master. My major beef is with the Bounty Hunter (Old School or Respec'd), that likes to "camp" a jedi. If you beat the Jedi and collect your bounty, then kudos to you. But if you beat the Jedi and continue to chase that Jedi's bounty everytime it comes up on the terms, then you have lost the whole concept of being a BH and it is borderline harrassment.If a Jedi is taken down by a BH, please remember its part of the game. It is not meant to be easy if you are striving for excellence. None of this is personal. I think we all need to remember that this is a game. Is it really worth getting yourself all worked up about? I've been playing since the beginning of 04' and I have learned to roll with the punches. I am going through the FS grind right now and I know I will share in the frustration of losing xp, but I also know its just part of the game. Just something to think about...

Jesus I mastered all the professions except for Chef, Politician, Bio Engineer, Merchant, and Weaponsmith ........ Master CH is like the easiest combat profession to master how could you even compare it to master bounty hunter ........

Let give all you BH's that dont want to hunt hi lev jedi somthing to think about. As a new Jedi the BH system is fine, if I dident lose xp. And before you all say Im a cry baby realize this: I work full time, married, have a kid I need to spend time with. I get to play 2 hrs a night during the week. Maybe 4-5 hrs on weekends. Now that im worth about 90k to you guys I get ganked within 45 min of signing into the game. This sets me back 150k xp each time. I can grind about 50-60k xp per hour, this puts me at a never ending xp loss. SOE says the game is fun, really?

So when you fully templated BH's go after someone like me because the higher Jedi's are "too hard" who is crying? You get to kill me, go back to actually playing the game, I get to start grinding for 2-3 days to try to get back to 0 xp loss, and do nothing else. I mean when one of you BH's come after me I NEVER HIT YOU, I cant. Thats what I truly hate. Do you feel good about taking out someone so low in ability that you know for a fact that they cant fight back? Yes I'm bitching and no its not your guys fault. But think about it. There is a person behind the toon such as me who really dosent want to play the game anymore, maybe this what SOE wants, but I PAY for this game. Makes no sense.

Tank DID do a good job - of explaining a systematic process for properly playing

the BH role. He isn't responsible for the CU game system, SOE is, so I sugest all you greifers out there go complain to SOE, not complian about tanks for sharing some truth on the profession. BH are SUPPOSED to hunt Jedi, thats at the core of the profession. The Jedi profession is SUPPOSED to be hard, if it were too easy then we would have too many Jedi (mom - can I have the $1000 Jedi dark master in Ebay - pleeeeease!?!?!?) running all over the place, bringing disharmony and imbalanced to the Galaxy. As far as being "politically correct" in regards to not killing a Jedi because you feel sorry for them (boo-hoo)? What do you think George Lucas would have to say about that? Hunt a Jedi down for 2 days just to go shake his hand and say "hi", and negociate a peace treaty? I have twofamous words for this; "blast em!!"

ok i am a semi respec player.

i am mch/mbh/squad leader

i dont hunt jedi at all untill 3 days ago. i happened to decline a invite to take town a base and the guy went off on me and told me that me and my guildmates will b hunted by this "alliance" of guilds. no i have the screanshot of the convo with him and i searched the bh terms for about an hour just to get his mission. now its time for a lil vengance. i dont like to b told how to play the game by players. so im making a 1 time exception to my rule of not hunting jedi. i have read the how to guide and every spynet opp i talk to says they wont handle that case go find a more experianced handaler. im currently standing here in kadarra andcant find a single person to help me. i am getting flustered and i want a lil help on this. all im asking for is a way point to a spynet opperative that will give me his dna. i can do the rest from there. i dont wish to involve the devs in this matter as i am capable of dealing with him myself. i have not filed a harrassment report on him and do not wish to. i will kill him in game this 1 time and i will feel better about the situation.

personaly i have about 30 or so friends that r jedis and i often help them in gaining xp and stuff. we do quests and the like together and i just want this 1 jedis head.

any help u can give me will b greatly apreaciated.
