means it is much more difficult to gang up on 220k+ marks. which is ofen nessesary. about the only time you can get them is when they are already in a fight, or afk/distracted.


Maybe make it so that a 200k+ mark is so notorius that there name is known?

Great idea - prevents bh'rs from griefing selective jedi. Adds a bit of mystery to the game as well - you won't know who you are hunting.






I was told by a CSR, that there is no such thing as a BH grieving a Jedi. The Jedi gains vis through his/her own actions.


Im not saying it is right or wrong, just posting what I was told.

Maybe the Devs should be put onto the Terminals as well.


Face it guys, the Devs LOVE the Jedi, regardless of what they, the devs and the Jedi, say. Knowing that this is just a game, for some reason I feel a ton of anger with in me, if I see a Dev in real life, who knows what will happen to him.


If the devs worry about griefing, why not make it so that the same BH can't hunt the same jedi for a while?

The system currently works for the most part. Maybe just needs some tweeking. The devs should think long and hard on this one instead of scrapping it for a new set up problems.


Full templates jedis are now too strong to take 1v1, as they should be. It should take multiple BHs to take one down. If they remove the names from the terms, then the effectively remove multiple BHs.


Currently there are too many bugs, exploits, whatever to prevent BHs from completing missions if no names and payouts. Kashyyk grinder, mobile homes, etc. Anyways, this does not prevent a BH from killing a low level Paddy.


There are so many jedi now, if these proposed changes take place, they population will skyrocket even more. Who wants a server full of jedi?

Hrm:


1- TEF gets active if either player attack now

2- The only reason to have the name up front is if you wish to circumvent the concept

3- While Patch 19 did reduce LS and Powers Costs, it destroyed Jedi Healing and still has not fixed Powers vs Armor.

4- While Patch 19 did help LS's receive the elmental damage, all other professions benifited from it as well (well, except Powers).


Remember with no payouts those BH's that used to not hunt Padys will be hunting them now, so the only thing that this does is it makes it impersonal which honestly is a good thing. Beyond that, SoE made being a MBH worthwhile and has not shown Jedi any love at all in the last several patches.


Dont pre-supposed the 'love' for Jedi ..

Hello my friends!


Here is my two cents...I love the forums.


1) Leave Names = You HAVE to know who you are hunting. It seems silly that they would remove it.
Want to fix it so you dont have people abuse it...add a TIMER after mission success or failure 4 days (just like a health crystal timer). Its really not that tuff to figure out devs. There are PLENTY of JEDI and PLENTY of BH's out there. Take a mission, and move on.


2) Add Faction to the NAMES. Its the GCW for gods sake. Its called EMPIRE DIVIDED. Let rebels hunt imperials and Nuetrals be nuetrals...not that hard Devs its NOT...THAT...HARD....TO...FIGURE...OUT.


3) Online/Offline = Ummm.....if there not on dont show them.....


4) Balance = Well unless you have been living under a rock things are all getting streamlined. Which makes sense, full temp jedi should take on 1-2 BH. Bounty Hunters LOVE to get a group to go after Big Game Payout And content. Leave it how it is. You add a timer to a mission no grieving. BH get their fun, with their large groups and Jedi get to be powerfull and have their long grind payoff.(wait till the FRS comes back, then you will need bigger groups most likely).


5) And dont forget, once it hits a Test Server you can access ...test it. Give it a shot, and give your feed back.



Hope all is well with everyone!!

Again SOE uses a Sledgehammer when all that is needed is a tap.


Terminals: It fixes a lot of problems, mainly making it harder for people to gang up on lower level marks. This is a positive part. Yet at the same time, it makes it practically impossible to beat a fully templated Jedi, very few will die in a one versus one. Then there is also the Kash issue. Before, you could simply go and look at Ryatt trail and make a list of names, then go grab a bounty. Now that is impossible. Unless people are huntable on Kash, this terminal change basically gives Jedi a place to level in total safety.


MBH Box: By itself not a bad change, however coupled with the terminal changes, it is a bad idea. The main reason is that making Jedi missions MBH only, it really cuts down on template versatility. It is already pretty tough to take a full Jedi on in a 1 vs 1, but by limiting templates, that makes it even harder.


Either one of the changes alone would have been a great start, yet SOE (as usual) tries to do to much at a time. The Kash problem needs fixed badly though.

It needs to be targets who are only online, they also need to 'fix' the can't hunt a target on Kashyyk business at the same time.


@meninus. Your trollish attitude is the exact reason I make Jedi lives a misery. If you don't like being hunted either login your alt or hide in the LOS bug like the rest of your school friends.

Ahhhh - the sound of BHs weeping - I love it.


Maybe I get to have some fun with my jedi now. I hate PvP and this is the best news a jedi could have right now.








Yep, you'll love it until a very pissed off guildmate/friend/etc spends so much time tracking their mark to find out it is you afterthey have wasted time on others earlierthat they kill you in a blind rage... Then you have to deal with arguements on "Why the heck did you kill me, I am your friend!!??"

Not only that, but you are going to be having more types of BH's coming for you. Some that might have overlooked you because you were either too low or too high for them.

I couldnt agree with you more....


With the ease of getting glowy, bugs, exploits, Kashyyk,and now the removal of names, AND making it so only a MBH can hunt a Jedi...The number of Jedi hunting BH'sis about to take a nose dive, and the Jedi are multiplying like rabbits.


Can you just picture it? A SWG timeline where Bounty hunters are more rare than Jedi? Jedi is about to dominate SWG in sheer numbers. Are you ready?

This is going to start more problems than it solves



  • BH's will be forced to hunt there own faction

  • BH's will be forced to hunt there own guild mates

  • BH's won't be able to use missions to impact the GCW on there server

  • BH's will get the same payout for working there butts of killling a full template as they do for a 3 hit paddie kill

I just hope we get a respec token again as i can't see any reason to be BH anymore. The challange is gone, I will be forced to kill half templates instead of the challange of killing full templates. instead of taking missions on paople I know will fight me,I will be spending my game time looking for a jedi who's name I don't know on Kashyyyk, with no way of tracking them.









thats why u are a Bounty Hunter, u dont care of faction etc. Ever read the Boba Fett Trilogie? He worked also for the rebels, well thats life!

The offline target things are good but not showing price and name is so stupid imo
