I can't quite remember a patch getting this much attention from both jedi and Hunters in a long while. Flame wars from both sides on who it benefits and what not. Well my opinion is this. I like the new changes. It's not perfect,but I think the hunters benefited the most from this and before anyone flames me please read.
The Good
My favorite part of this is the new layout on the hunter terminals. Where as before I had a choice of two or three jedi with the rest being npc's now it is the exact opposite. Tons of jedi and only a few npcs. This should greatly enhance the amount of jedi being hunted. Where as it used to be a chore finding one to hunt now I have a wide selection to choose from without having to refresh so much. Next part I loooove the fact that I now know if the jedi is rebel or imperial. I have canceled so many missions because I would roll up ready for the kill only to find out he was imperial.I don't don't hunt same faction and this helps tremendously. The new picture animation is pretty cool. Where as it used to show that dull art drawing there is now a cool looking jedi hood with a question mark showing me a difficulty level of 100. The other thing people don't realize is the pay seems to still show a differential in theskill of jedi hunted. It ranges from 45,000 to 51,000. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why some are worth more than others.
The Bad
Names. I still get no names from my mark. The two missions I have done so far gave me no names of who I was hunting until I was right near the mark. Elemant of suprise ruined. Dots don't appear either until right near them.The jedi knows someone is coming up on them and can quickly make preparations so our most important advantage is gone. I 'll run a few more and see how this goes.
Overall , not as bad as everyone made it out to be. I now know which jedi are online,what faction they are, and my selection of jedi has greatlyincreased.Let the games begin.

I give u a jobb, u are supposed to kill some1.
First, i pay u crap
Second, i dont know who the target is, but i DO know the faction (must be a very lousy informant)
Third, the target might be on kahshyyk , like every fourth
Fourth, the chance of sucess is low taking the odds from second and third

Yeah i'm noticing this more and more and can already see this being the next big issue for bounty hunters. Still glad for the changes but more needs to be done because jedi are already starting to exploit log in/log out.

I agree that this can be a pain, but it is somewhat realistic. Although I dispise Jedi and feel that they are ruining the game (Due to so many of them these days) They are supposed to posess special skills .... including keen senses. For them to see you on the radar is akin to them sensing something is up. I guess this is where the hunter in bounty hunter needs to shine through.

True.Their senses were always better than the average person but I always got the impression this was for a disturbance in the force related to the dark side . But they usually went on ahead and fought the enemy not hide.

Jeez louise the hates over this patch is staggering. I barely made this thread a few hours ago and it is being bumped out from all the threads about publish 20.Guess no one else that hunts feels about it like I do.

i personally dont mind the changes. i just want to roll up to a term, get a mission, and get on with life. im now at 25 (yes 25, thats 20 + 5) attempts at jedi missions, and EVERY SINGLE ONE has been offline.
Fix that, and im happy.

That's insane. I didn't think there was anyway the system could be very accurate keeping track because I must log in and out constantly myslef for many reasons throught the course of gameplay.

Wouldn't be that hard. Have a table that the system checks when you refresh. You get a random number of random Jedi from that table.
When a Jedi logs in, his name goes on that table if he has enough vis. When a Jedi zones, his name goes on that table when he loads in, if he has enough vis. When he is killed, his name is erased from that table if he doesn't have enough vis (to take care of death by BH). When he logs off, his name goes on that table.
