The effects of this change will be many, but the ones that you need to expect ( bad) are: Fewer Bounty Hunters. Many players go BH to hunt Jedi, and moving the ability to hunt Jedi to the MBH box will eliminate most BH's. With fewer BH's, Jedi will increase drastically in Power and number, esp. full template Jedi. This change will NOT have the desired effect on gameplay. There will be more hate, more griping. Those who like hunting Jedi and gave found the best template for doing so will be furiouse, since that templtae may NOT include MBH. This will ONLY benefit Jedi.

Ok, ..the devs want to take out BH Dabblers....make it so only Master BH can hunt Jedi. So tonight I purposely hunted 2 Jedi Dabblers. One was a Pikemen Jedi Dabbler, and one was a Rifleman Jedi Dabbler. I am MBH/MRifle/CM 4000...


Both the Jedi I fought were under the 100k bounty range, and one was a draw, and one was a loss. I admit that I am not the greatest PvPer, but if we are going to take BH dabblers out of the Jedi hunting equasion, then either MBH needs some very decent buffing, or Jedi Dabblers need to be taken out.


With what the devs are proposing comes into the game, MBH templates will be at a disadvantage against Jedi Dabbler Padawans, as opposed to the BH dabblers who were far more effective.

This is a bad move. And I will be canceling my BH account if this goes thru.

The whole point of makeing BH not reqire much of marksman was to add diversity to the BH proff.

I liked being a Master CM, Master Rifleman, 4000 BH.

No roots or ranged KDs. So paddys could run away. Thats why I changed to hunting knights for the challenge. And I love it.

Would be a shame to cancel the BH account.

This one doesn't seem like a big deal, but again I'd like to know what issue they are hoping to resolve.

"Just my suggestion on the change..



i like the change but i feel the Dev's can do one better by adding more content for Smugglers..



allow a Smuggler to slice a terminal to view the names + Level..



giving a MBH/MSmuggler a secondary benefit..



although from an RP level removing the names from terminals makes no sense..



why would the empire not want to reveal the names? These are criminals in their eyes, plain and simple, its time SOE treats them as such..



its sortof like the Jail Bookings in your local paper..."




Why does the empire have to reveal the names. Technically, the empire wanted all Jedi wiped out I thought. Smuggler hasenough love right now regarding being able to root and daze to no end not sure what the point would be to be able to slice terminal regarding names, however,giving you the option to slice that mission to recieve more of apayout if it isnt that way already would be nice.

As a Master CM, you are able to outheal any Jedi... as a Master Rifleman you are able to outdamage a Jedi by far... as a BH 3-0-0-0 merely at this time you have the one up on the Jedi and the added bonus of surprise... seriously though, I have always said there is NO WAY to balance it out to where its fair for every profession or mix and match templates when it comes to Jedi/BH and PvP etc.


At least, they are trying to get the balance down to Jedi vs. MBH instead of Jedi vs. more multi-profession/BH. I have seen a Master CM/MBH/Rifleman or Carbineer or Smuggler eventake down even full templated Jedi on my server... its all in tactics. As well, some Jedi now have no KD either without having Master LS.. they have to make same choices.. to be or not to be.. that is the question.. tough choices.. tough love!

i would grind it out like that if they gave us the option of doing it. i am not saying it should be easy or anything i am just saying that they are making us more cookie cutter by putting the player hunting ability at mbh.

I think it would bea great way to maintain some more control over balancing the Jedi vs. BH battles.


The 3/0/0/0 Investigation BH's, or whatever, just allow massive dabbling while tenuously being called a "Bounty Hunter." It allows people to get a huge variety of skills, whose skill combinations, I'd imagine, would make things very difficult to balance.


For content so powerful as stalking other players of this game, I see no reason to NOT limit this to the Master Bounty Hunter box.

LOL, A Jedi who wants "balance" Sounds like you just want to remain overpowered. Yeah i know, you "worked" for it. whatever.

While there at it, why dont they at least add the faction of the player to be hunted. That would make aligned bh's very happy.

Point is we all make sacrifices with our templates.. and the Jedi that thinks they are overpowered honestly as one is posting here needs to tell me if they are on a very populated server cause if not then they should try a very populated server and then voice the opinion bet it would come out differently




You maybe right on that. I am from a "hick" server. However, I think that no matter what server you are on, there are people who knows how to play this game very well and peoplethat don't. I think a more accurate statement maybe that your server have more excellent players than we do. For example,let'sa really good player is 1 out 100. In your server ther maybe 100 while in my server there may only be 20.

P.S. Btw, jedi do have a kd skills without MLS, it's called saber sweep. We just don'ta range one any longer without MLS.

So does this mean that only Jedi who are currently logged on will be on the terms? If we do not know the names how do we determine without going thru the process of finding the imformat just to find that the Jedi is in kindergarden that day ?

you want a Daze, get smuggler or CM, want a root, get pistoleer.




I like the changes except they need a faction marker, and an online/offline indicator




Exactly. Most Jedi are offline anyways. That is thousands of credits gone to lost time and Araakyd droids. The devs need to put only online targets and faction markers in.





The way I understood it, you would not be on the terminals while you are offline. Not sure where I got this idea, but that's what I thought they were changing it too. So if the jedi is offline they won't even register on the terminal.
