Thread: Anonymous Mission Testing and What I Told the Devs
Tanks,
I was thinking maybe the devs could give the bounty hunters a command that would allow you to target the jedi. Ex /target bounty This you would still be able to run a target macro and quickly identify your target without telling the Bountyhunter the name.
Tanks, are you nuts? That would make too much sense.

Tanks,
PLEASE PLEASE tell the devs to nerf or remove exp from kashyyyk. After pub 20, 99.5% of the jedi without full temps will be hiding there, and searching 6 instances for one target SUCKS(even now, but atleast u can take down all the names and pick missions next time).
If they dont do that, just tell them to remove jedi exp loss from BH deaths, because it will be nearly pointless with all the jedi hiding in ryyat, never getting killed by BH. Atleast then some jedi will leave kashyyyk for better loot/exp/money areas.
Well i guess we will just have to hunt for a livin again and all the BH that caused this go by the wayside

Finally got on TC to test.
I got the mission and started tracking.
When I finally got to the Jedi he was fighting Giant Worts. He was alone, but I simulated regular hunting as most will be with groups and tried to target him via tabbing.
It took me several seconds to TAB over to him. The Jedi knew I was after him before I could even target him. The smart Jedi will start running way before I would be able to target him in most situations. Now, add the fact that /duel is used almost exclusively in most situations to figure out a bounty target by the Jedi, he will know before the BHs.
We really need the Jedi name at some point in the process. The devs at the "FanFest Jedi Focus Group Session" even mentioned that the BH first strike ability makes them equal to full template Jedi in power (which is a fallacy in itself). Well, it is kinda hard to have first strikeor any kind of advantage when you have to be almost on top of the Jedi to know who he is!!!

I am just a nbh,I think it will hurt us who just get mbh a lot because we will not have the choice to take weaker jedi missions and will grab a jedi knight more often.I was just on ebay and seen jedi for sell,if they are so weak and get hit by nerfs and griefed on,how are they selling for over 1000$ u.s. ? I seen paddy`s going for 200$.

As a MBH & Jedi, /agree. It's fair and important to keep the element of surprise on the BH side.
However, I'd like to see the name given by the first Seeker Droid. The message could say something like "the Jedi INSERT NAME has been found" or something like that. Once you've traveled, you're even more commited.
Last, this is off the subject, but are there any current thoughts about bringing the hunt into space. That would be so sweet

I was gonna suggest this too...
If they insist on keeping the mission anonymous on the strategic level, they need to give us a tactical tool to replace the missing name.

tanks, with all due respect...
play your profession....you saw what happened to the unfortunate Bounty Hunter who attempted to take Han on first contact....make your pass, bide your time, and hit your mark when your ready.
yes, they may know you have theirmission, but they do not choose when you strike.

This is a great idea.
