First off I want to say to all the rock'n Bountyhunters out there, hang in there. The new system will take time to get used to and once it's fully understood those who learn it will persevre above the rest.


Ok, there seems to be an issue where if a BH had been killed by their mark that even though the failed their mission they will later have a TEF a "surprise attack" against that same Jedi without needing to have the mission. It's obvious that this isa bug but I would advise you BHs to take advantage of it and use it in your favor. After you experiance this "sneak attack" make sure it's bugged immediately to prevent any problems later on. (the BH did not have the ability to target me when he was rezd after his first death. The option presented its self after I had shuttled to a few different planets and crossed many server boundries.)


As for my take on the new Bounty system, you guys are going to have it rough. This new system will most deffinetly sperate the men from teh boys and I believe this system will bridge the gap between the unbalanced system that allowed players to continuoslypull bounties on a target just becasue they appeared as an easy kill.


There's alot of Jedi who play the game that are actually willing to help. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to share the info with your mark and inform them you're attmpting to learn the system. Unless you know the Jedi or they have a good reputaion for helping out players on your server it may be best to save the communications until after you attempt to collect the bounty. And if you do send an early tell to the mark don't ask them "how much were you worth before pub20?".


Good luck.

I'm so sick of this "Separate the Men From the Boys" Mentality!


Yeah, only really good BHers who want to expend the effort to deal with the serious pains of this new system will hang around. You are correct. How are people saying that this is a good thing? Are you serious? Do we really just want a few elite Bounty Hunters running around (Jedi don't answer that ?


I've have already lost 5 good BH friends, who were generally good Bounty Hunters,that could have probably gotten some kills in this new system (full temp included). Many BH guilds will be disbanded and/or greatly struggle with the update of this patch. A lot of good, fun people will leave the profession or the game entirely. It is not about "manning up or growing balls." It is about enjoying your profession and most are not going to enjoy this profession any longer. They understand how big of a disasster this is for the Bounty Hunter community. Believe it or not, some BH like to hunt just for fun and don't try to be the most elite bounty hunter on the server.


What would happen if SWG decided to make it so that only the most elite Jedi would surviveand prosper?Would we be making posts that say "Separate the Men From the Boys?" I don't think so.

Not to mention taking advantage of a known bug is an "exploit." You might want to think twice before doing something like that.

Even though my original post does not fit in with some of your views I still agree with your points.


In the past I've expressed the benefit from having a high level NPC bounty system for Bountyhunters. Players need something other then a Jedi Player to have as the content and the low level mildly placed NPCs just don't cut it. I would love to see a system where a BH could pull a mission on an equal level NPC Jedi without being required to have the title of Master Bountyhunter.


As for my statement "seperate the men from the boys", it was not meant to be a flame agasint the younger audience of SWG. It's a generic term used to exemplify the level of experiance and strategy involved in the new system where a sucsessful bounty is acquired. Any player who has direct contact with me will know that I make a valid attempt in assisting any and all BHs who have my mission short of laying down for them.


The new system places a higher demand on the need to adjust the Master Bountyhunter skill list to fit within the line which the current system is working as intended.


Now it's time to implement a system that will force Jedi to truely go into hiding. How about a "NPC city Lightsaber TEF" or "elite NPC Bountyhunters" to rain down upon the flamboyant Jedi...




*exploit: I do not encourage repeated abuse of a bugged game although I do encourage indentifying issues, testing them, verifying a means to repeat them then issuing /bug reports detailing the steps taking to repeat this process. And I say again, take advantage of the bug and see what's happening. If you are able to see a patern please /bug it immediately!
