Tanks, For a long time i have been an Melee BH,I love it no matter how worthless melee is claimed to be now.Can you please let the devs know that many Investigation IV/Melee BH enjoy their customized templates.


With the changes of moving Player bounties to MBH it will end the customization of melee BHing etc..


If the changes are bought to, it is possible to be MBH/one melee Prof, But it will be very weak and eveything in the BH Trees will be worthless because it does not benefit Melee at all.


Can we try to atleast get some melee Feats in some BH Trees,Maybed even MBH if the changes are brought to ,to move player bounties there.


It is sad to be forced to be a ranged BH when you really desire to be pure Melee.





No, Best thing ever and the BHs agree which is scarey. THE reason you could use melee was because there was a inbalance to us in some cases at patch 9 and beyond.. Since now a Medic can out heal a Jedi with 3000 in healer we pretty much have hit the balance mark to get us more equal to BHs then ever.


Do it like these guys do, choose BH or TKM.. but not both.

agree 100% - moving player jedi missions to the master box is just cruel.


Jedi-

Long before most of you even started playing this game there was a system which was refered to as Saber TEF. When you used your light saber you got a flag. this flag allowed ANY bounty hunter (novice included) to attack you. This flag in itself caused jedi who dueled to discover another system - permadeath. There was a time when few jedi would be standing about in a major population center just dueling people, or being overt to demonstate in a wolf pack just how tough 5 jedi can be when facing 1 non jedi.


I say bring back saber TEF. Let novice BH once again attack LS wielders. Then and only then, you can put jedi missions in the master box. And sure saber TEF means an army can come after a jedi who uses a light saber. So what. It's not like you have anything to loose.


Novice BH should be able to take jedi missions. It's an excellent suggestion, thank you jedi for making it. I hope the devs will consider it, especially now that names will be removed from missions. Novice BH will have the most difficult time finding their marks. They wont even be able to tell they are on Kash. But they will learn what it means to hunt. To my understanding the only reasons this wasn't done was as it is exploitable, and would be a rude shock for a novice BH to face a pvp battle with little to no previous BH experience. Tolessen the exploitability just make it soBH don't get invest xp for player jedi missions until they reach master, and make it so a BH cannot get a mission for the same jedi for 24, 48 or 72 hours (after completing the mission.)


PS.my jedi is worth 226k on the terms - so saber TEF is something I shouldn't favor - right?

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

Falsehood. It allowed anyone of the opposite faction to attack you. (Cant remember if you had to be overt)



Tanks, or anyone else on TC, if you are reading this. How is the move to master implemented? Have difficulty three missions been moved up to master, or is there now a higher level mission system?


I remember when asking before about higher level missions, we were told that the mission system was locked into a 3 levels of difficulty, which would make moving higher missions to master more problematic.


This of course could have been mushroom syndrome.

Name me one BH in the Star wars universe that uses his hands ONLY to kill. If you can - you got my vote. until then, there should be a reward for having ground MBH, and that is the ability to hunt jedi.

Sorry, I tried, even got into a bit of a rumble with an anti-PvP/PvE Jedicorrespondent (not the Jedi corr.)that popped into my thread on this matter. The final word came down just a bit ago. It will go to Master.


The caveat:


You'll just have to wait for Publish 21, there is some love comin'. .








Does this mean you agree that Jedi hunting should remain in the Inv line instead of moving to Master, Tanks? If so, what is your reasoning?

Is that love that the Smugglers will be on the BH terminals because they're implementing the Smuggler Revamp.

My guess would be an End Game idea to help us combat the FRS knights.(like a ranking system for BHs). Which would make sense for the moving missions to Master.







That was my guess too. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Doubt it.



Any "love" thrown to Bounty Hunter (or any other profession) that is at the expense of Jedi, will not last long or will be countered in some form.




It has nothing to the with Jedi and everything to do with BH and is tied to moving missions to Master. I am trying to get an OK to let you guys know.






Hopefully it's abt making an mbhmore effective infighting a knight 1v1? Since bh teams will a thing of the past come pub. 20,.....






What part of "nothing to do with the Jedi" are you ont getting?


I'm intrigued. I'll throw my guess into the ring.


Smuggler missions. No reason not to. Smugglers have nothing to lose if they die. BH's can't farm them with the removal of names from the terminals. It has nothing to do with the Jedi AND if, for example, you put Inv 3 as the pre-req for hunting smugglers then moving Jedi hunting to MBH makes sense.








Not trying to be arrogant here by quoting myself, just keeping my thoughts together.



Further, making Smuggler Bounties available 'soon' would fit another way. Look at the payout structure come Pub 20. 49-52k + Bonus AFTER you fight your mark.


49-52k seems about right for bagging a smuggler.

I agree with you that Melee BHs should not be forced to pick up BH branches that do them no good.

But, I do find it ironic that 5 months ago in regards to MLS saber block I can be quoted as saying:

"Why should the ones who desire/love ranged be forced melee?"

Further evidence that the devs are seriously evil.




Thank you for agreeing with me, Anyhow i just really enjoyed Melee BHing now that is gone..
