Many old time BH's will remember the old method of Bounty Hunting where you and only you could damage the Mark. We just got done hooking this back up. To everyone else but the BH the mark will appear white. The intent of these missions was to follow a very cannon style experience of the solo Boba Fett Bounty Hunter vs the target. The loot quality and drop rates are too favorable to let these missions be farmed en masse by large groups. I just would like to know from the players who have been testing these if they are able to win vs the Boss level Marks.


These missions are intended to be challenging with the Mark always a few levels higher than the difficulty of the mission.

That wouldn't solve anything as they could just sell the SEA's they didn't need for the cash to buy the jedi ones. Also, do you really think the DEV's could pull off removing just jedi SEA's? Most likley it's either all or none. I don't know about you, but I choose all.




Yes, I believe they can pull it off. They're coders, it's what they do. If they can't pull of something as simple as that (which seems pretty easy), then they should find new jobs .


Even if it calls for a revamp in the loot code for drops, I think they should do away with jedi sea's (or make the drop rate for them 1:50).

Wich is very disapointing to me. Most Jedi have BH alts anyway. So this is going to be another way Jedi will infect another aspect of swg.

You spelled Boba wrong....

I like this. Can we do anything about the Jedi SEA's as loot drops?

I went up against 2 Double Bracket Gold Elites, with 31k Health each, in the short time that I tested the BH missions. Both were some what of a challenge, but a challenge that a Master BH, Master CH, Novice CM can handle without much risk of life or limb. Then again, I often run around solo in the Myyythril caverns.

What about the cannon where Bossk, IG88, and Bobba Fett teamed up? and many more instances where BHs from the BH guild teamed up? However, I do see your point of not letting them get farmed by mass groups. Great job on adding more loot to the game. We need more and better drop rates. Its just important to note that many BHs in the books grouped to capture or kill marks.

Awesome, truely great. If you could please...is there anyway to prevent "Jedi" specific loot drops? I'm sure you would understand why.

Correct me if I'm wrong, butdidn't the old system constantly fail and the mark's name was white to the hunter as well? I was under the impression that this bug was never fixed and instead theTEF was just removed altogether so that the hunter was guaranteed an attackabletarget (albeit one attackable to everyone).


So does this mean we will soon see the re-emergence of the infamous "white named marks"?

QFE


This was the way I remember it being fixed previously. With all of the other annoyances brought to the PVP section of BHing I will not play anymore if this bug emerges again. I am not a power player and it took most of the first year this game was out for me to master BH due to the endless hours I had to spend sitting in a campsite to get Master scout. I didnt even have the fish option. With the Kashyyyk exploit still left open for the Jedi just trying to get a PvP mission is a waste of the limited time I have to play. Please SOE make sure the PvE bug isnt reintroduced, I cant handle NPC missions being borked again!!!!!!

Blix, these missions are very much like the old days. Thanks for making them fun. My TC bounty hunter has a build of master bounty hunter/master carbineer/pistoleer 0001 (stopping shot)/medic 0030. Several of the boss marks have been a tough fight with me needing a significant amount of healing to survive. One was bad enough that I ran my mind pool out about halfway through and I had to get creative to survive. I think the current level of the bosses is just about right. Some aren't so bad while others are really rough.

Just like Blixtev said.. "The intent of these missions was to follow a very cannon style experience of the solo Bobba Fett Bounty Hunter vs the target." If they allowed other people to attack your mark, it would lead to mass amounts of this loot hitting the market. You would also see your mark being killed by other people before you could reach it. So I totally agree with what they are doing. I want my mark to be "my" mark...... I'll be heading to TC-Bria tonight to test the difficulty of these missions.

Removing the feature is how the "white mark" problem was solved. "H" and I were unable to replicate the "white mark" issue in our internal testing. I am hoping if it crops back up we can find out why they do not set their TEF vs the BH correctly, instead of yanking the feature. If anyone sees this behaviour on Test please shoot up the flare gun and we will try to jump on it, information like where mission was taken, what planet you went to,how long it took you to get to themark etc, would be very useful if this is seen.
