Or link me to an explination. i saw the two feedback forums, and i dont want to comment until i know exactley what is going on, but i cant find the information about publish 20 anywhere. Id like to read it.
From what i can gather its two things (maybe three)but i dont know if thier is more too it.
1) Need to be MBH to get jedi missions.
This i do agree with whole heartedly to be honost. Back in the day when the FOTM was BH 4000 and a mix of fencer and TKA i really hated it, because i refused to give in to the FOTM. Now with the pre reqs for BH being cheaper then they have ever been, i really do agree with this.
2) Not seeing a jedis name, level (via pay out) or any other info.
This i think is absolutley idiotic. Lets think about this.
Jabba: Boba fett, i really need you to kill someone really bad for me
Boba fett: Sure thing Jabba, who is it?
Jabba : I cant tell you, but go kill them anyway.
Boba: ummm, ok jaba, let me ask you this, how much are you paying me
Jaba: oh thats the best part, im not telling you that either.
Because that would happen.
JEDI IS SUPPOSED TO BE HARD. And at this point in the game jedi are supposed to be practically non existant, and the ones who are existant are supposed to be in hiding. So if you are able to take a Jedi mission then they deserve to die. I cant really preach continuity, because if that were the case, thier would be no such thing as imperial jedi. Thier would be neutral or rebel, but i understand for MMO games things need to change.
But if you dont know the jedis level or name, how or why would you hunt them?
For example, parosing the BH terminal the other day, i saw someone who is a very good friend of mine, so i ignored the mission. SOmeone i absolutley abhore because they have a stupid name and blow force powers in the middle of theed on purpose to get people to come hunt them name was up, so i took that one.
Also by hiding the power level you screw padawans over really bad. Granted you may have people who "grief padawans" (whatever dude, dont use force powers in public, i guess you need to learn the hard way) but at the same time thier are people who purposefully dont kill them. But if someone takes that mission, gets the bio sig, launches droids and hops planets, regardless of who they are, they are getting killing upon arival or it was a huge waste of time.
And maybe people disagree with this particular method but i dont. What if a group of people, or 2 or 3 people wanna take someone down together? Who doesnt bring friends to fight a freaking jedi? This becomes impossible.
And im sorry, as the movies show us, Jedi VS non jedi fights are not 1:1. Somewhere in the ball park of ten clone troopers shot a ten year old jedi in the face MULTIPLE times to make sure he was dead. THe blue twilek chick, not only got jumped form behind, they didnt stop shotting her when she was on the ground. The scene cut and she was still getting shot.
I hope someone gets to lucas arts about this stuff, because SOE is :::i deleted this comment for fear of getting my post removed or edited:::. And if this was lucas arts idea, well then this is a sad day in the universe.
3) Cant kill peopel of your own faction? Dumb idea as well. I play on starsider, and i beleive in RP, and ill kill anyone who abuses the jedi class. So if i see some idiot blowing force powers in public on purpose, or i see jedi dueling in the middle of town, ill wait a few minutes for a GM to show up as Boba fett, which they never do, so i go to the terminal take the mission and control these morons myself from ruining the universe that is star wars.
Someone has to do it, i figured SOE was letting Bounty hunters do it so they didnt have too.
Take these abilities away from us, and you kill the game in so many ways.
Youll make being a BH a huge waste of time, and take one of the most fun parts of it out.
you take all policing of jedi away. If you thought jedi were ruining the game already, when you take away what they have to fear (other players) then they are just gonna run around naked swining light sabers all day long. Because right now 100% of BHs can kill jedi. Making it MBH knocks out alot of the population. But making it a factional thing now at least pops out 1/3 of who could kill them.
And normally i would bite the soap and drop my faction, but whats the point? I dont know who my mark ever is, and i dont know how much im getting paid, and i dont know anything. Ive heard of getting set up on a blind date, but i never heard of getting set up for a "blind job".
Ive quit these game twice already, once because my house dissappeared and the CSR literally said "too bad" and didnt help me.
Then when they decided to release JTL before the CU, i quit again.
Cu comes out, everything seems to be cool so i rejoin, only to find out the reason i came back is being sucked out of the game.
Way to squeeze another 15 dollars out of me SWG (oh no wait, they convinced me to get RotW....congrats you made 40 bucks, hope your happy)

Like i said i have come back from a long time ago, soi have a bit of a newb question.
Is it true tracking droids dont work on kashyk?
if so what is the reasoning for this other then giving all jedi a place to hunt freely?
Also, again ill ask for a link to the publish 20 stuff.
