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.
... As compared to them starting petitions, flamewars, and convincing their dev buddies in guild chat after we get the patch notes? I'd rather know where my profession is heading in advance so I can plan accordingly, thanks.

? Coemon, don't even pull that lol. I've seen a guy ask a jedi to be banned because he was afk in his house. I've also seen petitions to make it so jedi can't even own houses. I haven't even gone into the skill nerfs.

MBH is terrible atm you cannot land ranged attacks through force valor + force aura. ranged also doesnt not do a whole lot of dmg compared to melee attacks. it is impossible due to the current mechanics of the game to kill a full template jedi 1on1 that heals himself and has force aura or force valor active, anyone with those two buffs active is untouchable versus ranged attacks.
Not everyone has those
. Maybe if people didn't cry nerf 24/7 on jedi some of us could fix our skillz up so there's no more defender fotm.

AHHH!!! THATS"s why it said 'player bounties' instead of 'Jedi bounties'!!
So we're finally going to be able to hunt non Jedi players?
ooh a bh offically stating he is in it for the grief factor/ponder. You know intentional griefing is against the EULA, even in BH missions

This is what jedi have been saying forever
Now, I ask you whats in it for us? If we are forced to be MBH to hunt Jedi that get FRS points for advancement if they kill us, then what do we gain out of the deal? Money? Again risk vs reward arguement will be out in full force
wow thats fing hilarious comeing from a bounty hunter
ya your sposed to be a jedi dude
rememebr bh do it for the kill, thecredits, the fun, the grief factor, the pvp,the pvp rateing too, the exp ( for force sensitive 1 to 1 ratio ), killing jedi to control theyre population : / you remember the reasons now?,what u wussin out ?

. As for controling the population i say HA, and another HA HA. Don't let that horrible pile of cra p ooze out of your mouth again. Until pub 20 i had seen 5 bh's since the CU and two of those where after i was above 200k with over 6 weeks plus inbetween the attacks. Similar story with all knights on my server. Population control, my a$$. You couldn't even curb slightly the influx of new padawans.

But on a more serious note, nothing to do with Jedi means either NPC, or another profession.
High level challenging NPC missions would be lovely.
Hunting another profession.. well I dont think thats on the cards for a while, if ever.*ponders*Message Edited by Jimhada_AR on 07-13-2005 04:08 PM
I'm not sure why you'd say that the jedi won't like a BH getting something and jedi being excluded. I personally would like to see EVERY other profession get something nice, so long as it isn't just making it easier for ME to be their content. LOL
I hope that it's something really nice for the BHs that worked hard to get there...Like hunting smugglers that have dropped too many loads of spice at the first sign of imperials.
You'll have to excuse my lack in knowledge on the part of what Smugglers actually do in this game... I have seen plenty of them, but never got around to trying out that profession. Do they actually Smuggle stuff around or what? Never seen a Smuggler Terminal yet LOL.
Anyways...ya I'd like to see more than just Jedi on our Terminals. It actually add a bit of a feel closer to the Star Wars we have seen in the movies. I'd even entertain the idea of having other BH's being put on the terminals for failing to many missions. It would make BH missions...lol...like a box of chocolates, ya never know what your gonna get.
I have been successfull on 3 post Pub20 missions so far, only 1 has been a full temp Jedi and he made me really work for it...I think I ended up spending more money doing the job then I got for a reward but it was fun.
Topic related: Sorry, just realized I was way out there.... Honestly, as a MBH I can see where other MBH's support this, after all its almost like a right of passage to be able to hunt Jedi. But, on the other hand there are those whom like the poster don't wish for MBH and want there personalized template...I'd have to say.... I still side with the MBH's whom support the idea. Not saying you non masters haven't earned the right too, far from it. I could suggest a work around like only being able to hunt Padawans and leaving the big boys to MBH's or something like that...but that would be crap. It's hard to be objective looking on it from a MBH point of view. There are people who just dabble in one thing or another and expect the same benifits that those who put all they have into a profession. I wouldn't know who they are, and I don't think SOE has a way of being able to sort them out either, so we get a fix like this where only MBH can hunt Jedi. I can see where you have an issue with it, and I feel for you to some extent. Not completely for the idea, at one time I wasn't a MBH and I still hunted Jedi (not very well, but I did anyway). So, even though I support the idea of it, if they were to reconsider...it wouldn't affect me one way or another.
If any of this didn't make any sence, my appologise...I blame the lack of coffee!!!
1) I really never jumped on the bandwagon to be a bh/melee temp prior to the CU. They were probably the most effective compared to ranged temps pre-cu but it wasnt my style, and i had a uber DE-10 (dreams of those torso shot ticks).
2) Post CU altered the playing field a great deal, it altered the melee vs ranged battle more than anything.
3) Since they improved the viability of the ranged professions vs jedi, im extremely happy, however, in my view they really made the melee bh weaker than they were before. Therefor, my opinion is simply leave jedi bounties at inv 3 or move 4 so we have diversity in temps.
BIGGER PICTURE from my minds eye and please flame away.
Now for those you you that remember the old FRS you know that if you had your MBH tag up just hanging out, you would get /tells from jedi looking for a "freindly duel" ect, which really meaned they simply wanted to get FRS points if they db you. Happened to me alot, and from a few jedi, i really liked. In the future, I see us playing a similar role in that system, which is some of the reason for the changes on the terminals and names. Now, I ask you whats in it for us? If we are forced to be MBH to hunt Jedi that get FRS points for advancement if they kill us, then what do we gain out of the deal? Money? Again risk vs reward arguement will be out in full force, but it will be us MBH using it. Think about it, a 225 k is chump change, and if you fail, you give the jedi FRS which ultimately will make them harder to kill, so the more poor souls go after this FRS jedi the more powerful he will become (asuming he wins), which to be honest i think is ok. I believe the devs simply want to use MBH in the future as a piece of the puzzle in terms of the FRS leveling, and having a invest 3-4 BH goes against that logic (assuming they have their old mentality on how frs works). But again, i feel like MBH tag is simply a tasty treat that every FRS jedi will like to see coming their way, which means that melee BH will be limited in the future. BUT, if they introduce some ADV skill trees above MBH that are filled with points like the FRS for jedi after the sucessfull DB of a mission jedi, im all for it. In other words we would advance as well in skills that are jedi hunting specific in nature (i.e. would not alter our abilities in any other (non jedi) situation pvp or pve). Then, we jedi and BH both have something to stick around a fight for.
In a word i think this change is part of a bigger picture, plain and simple. Id does limit the variability of the hunter template-wisw, mainly forcing them to be ranged. However, Compared to were we where even a year ago, BH has come a LONG way in my opinion (again from a purely ranged BH perspective).

And now - thanks to publish 19 - we have to spend most of our time online searching for loot drops for the components to slice your weapons. I have seen plenty of them, but never got around to trying out that profession. Do they actually Smuggle stuff around or what? Never seen a Smuggler Terminal yet LOL. ROFL. No, after 2 years - there is no Smuggling for Smugglers yet.

(You mean have Vader and a squadron of Dark Troopers hunt down and Perma-Death Jedi with Visibilty? I'm beginning to like you mate.)

.. edited cause it was irrelevent to my point..
I know for a fact when i say I speak for more than half of our community when i say to all BHs, "Bring it."
Wrong Post , sorry
