Bounty Hunter Archive

Here is an example of the new changs in Pub 20. Everything looks good so far expect this problem described below. Also note that I am on a smaller server so this effects me more.

Player A(BH) finds a mission on the terms(1 minute).
Player A goes to the spynet op(1 minute).
Player A goes to release a pro-bot(1 minute).
Player A gets probot data back(3 minutes).
Players mark is on Kashyyyk and there is no way in hell he can find him in pub 20.
Repeat the above 2-3 times for a mark not on kashyyyk(12-18 minutes).
Player A buys ticket to planet the mark is on(2 minutes).
Player A release some seekers and heads in the direction of the mark(1 minute).
Player A finds mark is 1.5km away(5-10+ minutes travel time on speeder and shuttles).
Player A gets close to mark but doesnt know name so stays back and crawls under cover into range(3-5+ minutes).
Player A gets in range of mark and starts hitting TAB to find the name of the mark within the MOB the mark is fighting(30 seconds).....
Mark is Player B, Player A's friend....
Player A chats with Player B how 100% anonymity is dumb(2 minutes).
Player A goes back to BH terms to find another mark and prays that he doesnt happen to find another friend or guild member(5-10+ minutes travel time on speeder, shuttles, etc.).

So this new system is going to be wasting at least 30+ minutes of my day on certain days... I know this will happen to me since some of my friends have high vis and are on the terms all of the time but pub 20 is going to do nothing but waste my time on occassion. Crap I would rather take an actual nerf than waste my time!

PS: Anyone that isnt a rifleman is screwed in pub 20. If you cant use the Cover skill then that 30 seconds or so of hitting TAB is going to set you up so your mark will be able to run, hide, bonk you on the head, etc.

IT ISNOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FINK KASHYYK JEDI

It does not take that long to search the trails.

Will take longer if you don't know their name.

The only beef I have about Pub 20 is Kashyyyk. No seekers, no names - I'm supposed to comb through every single instance of the Ryyyat trail & Myydril caverns.
"Oh, but Jedi aren't going to grind on Kashyyyk anymore because they get vis from all those feral Wookies."
Bullsh!t. Paddies never cared about vis so why should they start caring now? Especially if there's a nice LOS-Exploit right next to them.

I'm not going to drop MBH though. I've read too many hate-tells, seen too many posers and tasted the joy of a hunt too often to give up now.

on intrepid, i went on each instance of the kash trails, gathered the names of the jedis, factions, and instances they are and posted them on intrepid forums....u'll be surprised at how many other bhs help you with the lists and updates, not to mention the flames from the jedis =D

They are taking the names off of the Terminals...Taking names will no longer work.

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that low level padawans who gain visibility will be hunted with less frequency via this change. Since payout is evening out for all Marks, a BH isn't going to care that after all the work of getting to he who has no name, the Mark is too easy. It's the same cash. This will bring in the HUGE BH population who didn't take missions on low levels. For all the crying about low level griefing there is, I never knew a single BH who hunted them.

And most BH templates, including respec templates, include the Master box anyway, due to some great specials and mods in there now.

The only 2 saving graces for low level padawans are 1. harder to gain vis and 2. incredibly difficult to receive mission on the same jedi on purpose.

But hey, if it's alot harder to gain vis then that means fewer names on the terminals. With the BH population not declining at nearly the same rate as the declination of names on the terms, there's a greater chance that 2 BHs pull the same mission by coincidence.

It's really just a dumb patch, it's obvious people don't think things through.

The Jedi Proff is hard because they get to be 1.5x as powerful as a regular profesion. Why should BH missons be hard(er) than they were B4 if there is no reward for it? I will still hunt jedi on Kash, because there will be a lot more AFKers after this patch. And if a BH misson is going to take thirty minutes, why not make an elaborate WP system to get to regular missons, like dewbacks and bols. I mean the Jedi prof is hard why not make missons for regular people and jedi harder? We lose the first strike, we lose mele BHing, what will we lose next? I am betting seeker droids get nerfed so they can only point the direction of our mark, or better yet they will tell us nothing at all, probots tell us the planet and say "Go find him/her/it and you will get payed very poorly"

umm you get a quite large cash reward and xp

what do jedi get when they kill the BH? a nice message saying you killed a bounty hunter its not much of a reward ide like 200k for killing a bounty hunter but its not going to happen or i could just farm BH's all day

You get to live and possibly have a better chance at getting a full temp. Once you get there, no more penalties. Your reward is that you play a char that is 1.5x more powerful. You have a goal. As BH's we have a goal as well. It is to hunt marks. We can reach our targeted prof(MBH) much quicker but you have to think long term. In the long term you will be much more powerful and in the end isnt that what matters? If you want short term gains then you can play some other prof.

we get to live? we get to live somehow if we manage to fend off a fully templated BH until lthe next bh comes along (usually 5min later in my case) then we get to rollt the dice again and hope we win the problem i have is untill publish 20 is that i would die and not even get an hour to get my bearings again before i got another gank squad of BH's knocking at my door. yeah sure our reward is are so called 1.5x wether it is 1.5 well il lfind out if and when i finish my template im not having a go at you in person or the profession well im trying not to anyway im just saying if we have a hard time as soon as we log on then the people who are makeing our lives hard should have a little more difficulty makeing it hard

as i said nothing personall ive been BH before for a year or so at one point i only went jedi because i ran out of things to do in the game and i thought as its last ive never really tried why not, ive been killed by bh's but idont run around swearing getting abusive and angry because i understand its part of the game your playing your part and im playing mine when i get killed i just bite my tounge get a rez and carry on grinding thats al lyou can do really just keep going. im sure you can understand that even being a BH

Ack too many quotes!

I agree that Jedi should be able to group without getting vis. With that being said that should help you guys out in Pub20. I always thought you should have some sort of Master/Padawan system so you wouldnt blow your cover. So after pub 20, I think things will be better but still I also think that since you will be 1.5x stronger(at least acording to SOE), then you will be better off in the long run. Most all of the profs in this game besides Jedi can be grinded out in a matter of days or weeks. Jedi, even with constant grinding can take a long time. Once you get to your full temp goal, isnt it even sweeter than being BH or some other prof just because you are now more powerful and also you know that "You made it"?

I myself am not asking for much in this next pub. I just dont want to play lottery with my friends and guild members with 100% total mission anonymity. I say bring on the changes but let us at least know who we are hunting. There are many alternatives to what SOE has developed. I have them as part of my sig. But if SOE doesnt make some sort of change to give us a name, then we are just wasting our time. Plus if you arent rifles(cover) and your mark happens to be in a group of Bols or whatever, you have to hit TAB till you spot him. While you are wasting your time with this, he is hopping on a speeder and running. SOE says we have the element of surprise and this is supposed to help balance out the 1.5x difference but after pub20 we no longer have this so called "element of surprise".
