Once the client crashes stopped, I managed to log in for a quick hours worth of hunting over my lunchbreak. The first thing that I noticed was that my current mission, which I had in my datapad for over three days PRIOR to today, was gone and there was some system message about the BH guild recalling the message due to my inability to get the mark. No matter, sort of. I was here to test the waters.

My first mission pulled great, and even more so that my Arakyd showed the mark on my current planet, Naboo! I only needed to shuttle from Kaadara to Theed, a quick hop! I quickly launched a seeker and grabbed a shuttle. I landed in downtown Theed and my mark was about 1200m away. At this point, I received my 1st update from the seeker, including my mark's name. Ohhhh, it is a fully templated knight, someone I know of and understand that he is a good fighter. I clearly have my work cut out for me for my 49k. Pixie, Breath of Heaven, Vegeparsine, Crispic, and Ruby Biel all consumed. My Proton Carbine gets a PUP and I think I might be ready. I am nervous, knowing that he is a strong Jedi, but I am commited to the mission, as this is how it has to be nowadays. I circle around his WP and come up from the South, hoping to catch him a bit offguard. Wait, is that a structure I see in my overhead map?!? ARGH! He is in a house!! OK. I have invested sometime already and decide to wait him out in Theed. About five minutes later, I can tell he is moving slowly towards me, and I sit in the Starport, waiting. He arrives and walks around, just taking things in, and suddenly I see his health bar drop - he is in combat with someone! YEAH! Another BH! I jump up from my bench and race outside. I engage the Jedi, too, and we are going toe to toe, each healing as we are dealt blows. Wait! Where is the other BH? Is he not fighting anymore? Oh, he wasn't a BH! They were just dueling! OK, I can handle this. My Jedi is tough, but we're really just keeping pace with each other. Damage, heal, damage, heal. He crosses the river in Theed, just outside the starport, and I race to catch him. Oh, no. He reached the shore first and is pummeling me as I slowly drown and sink into the water. I fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book, as I was so focused on the combat I forgot to notice my surroundings and even remember what it was like to hunt pre Publish 20. I am not a rookie, but made a rookie mistake.

Mark #2 - I race back to Kaadara after cloning and pull another mission. I talk to my informant, hop my Barc and head out of town to call down an Arakyd. "Your Target is Offline." WHAT?!?! WHAT?!?!?

Mark #3 - I head back in Kaadara and pull another mission, after dropping my 'offline' mission, I hop my Barc and head out of town to call down an Arakyd. "Your Target is Offline." WHAT?!?! WHAT?!?!? NOT AGAIN!?!?!

Mark #4 - Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Your target has been located on Kashyyyk.

Well, what do I expect for a quick hour of hunting. I thoroughly enjoyed my first mission, even though I knew that I probably was not going to have an easy fight. I also probably would not have picked him pre Pub 20, but may have spent another 15-20 minutes actually trying to find an online Jedi.

My last three missions, however . . .

Yes, thanks for that

I knew that coming into today, but was hoping to be able to hunt my current mission, hoping that the clock might start today with the publish.

3 day old missions go poof?

That sucks. my current target jonpaul ingro the spineless wuss of sunrunner has been hiding in his P a hall for 4 days.

Camren, an Imp Jedi on Sunrunner has been hiding in his house for over a WEEK.

THEY HAVE TO PATCH THIS AGAIN to subract the time the jedi spend OFFLINE or HIDING in his house like a dog.

This is BHs they cant penalize us for the time when the target is totally inaccessible.

They are willing to destroy every profession just so the jedi are happy. It defeats the purpose of the CU, to not let the game seem like only one profession or weapon or armor is worth having.

What about the nerfs that jedi get? Is that something to make us happy? Do you think jedi are happy with having a timer of 6 seconds while the CM or Doc have a 2.5 second timer? How bout that for us to heal it takes force and mind? Now I am not trying to grief or flame you, just trying to make a point since you think that jedi are made out to not have problems IG with thier play experience. People say nerf this or nerf that and it happens and then everyone gets beat by the same bat and something changes all around to make the gaming experience different than it used to be.

What happens is when a jedi logs on their mission is placed on the terminals, but if they log off within say 5-10 minutes of logging in then your mark will be offline when you use your probe. It's not a bug, it's the way they designed the new mechanics. Say I go online for a minute to grab something or drop something off for my alt, as soon as the system recognizes that I am IG then it will place my mission on the terminals even if I am only online for 30 seconds. Don't quote me on this, but it could stay on there until 5 people pull the same one and they will all get the "Your target is not online" message. Just the way the mechanics work. It sucks yeah, but there is nothing that can be done about this until they change the code/mechanics to take marks off the terminal after they logoff.

Enedo or whatever your name is shut the hell up. Oh you lose force if you heal, you're BREAKING my heart! What do you think you used to heal you idiot? neosporin? This is a BH thread get the hell out. Youre luck I dont have aBH on Ahazi. Thatsfunny , I didn't see Ayla Secura healing All those blaster shots she took and force run away In REVENGE OF THE SITH.Your kind shouldnt exist. Its our Job to hunt you. Now when some Jedi idiot takes out his saber in Theed Sp or Coronet Sp like they ALWAYS do, the stupid arrogant fools cant be hunted because we have to try and quit 9 bh missions to find them. This Game was broken since release, and the idiots in charge are Just making it worse. NOW REBEL MISSIONS only PAY 1k!!! W T F?!?!?! How does that help the game or GCW??? Publish twenty sucks worse than a two dollar vwhore. Did they fix the Bugs Publish 19 causeD? No!!! I still cant mount my pet without unequiping my weapon.

You should be able to group to kill a Jedi Just like you can group to kill a base. Now Jedi can group and not get visiblity, but BH cant.

ALL you do is spam heal anyway, you deserve to get your heals limited. And You can choke people through their armor now. They say that the devs are making the Jedi so strong because of the grind and they were strong in the movies, HELL the WOOKIEES were strong in the movies, but in SWG A TKM twilek girl can beat a TKM MALE WOOKIEE. Thats BS, a WOOKIEE would MAUL any HUMANOID like a BEAR.

The truth is , Jedi dont want ANY profession to be able to kill them, they are selfish and want to rule every server. Its just like Supreme Chancellor said"ALL people with power are AFRAID of losing it, even the Jedi.
