The Noname on Bounty missions Good. Not knowing the Pay not good. Look if I was to take a job They are going to have to tell me the Pay.


I hate to use it but.. Would Boba just take the job or would he want to know How much he was getting paid?

I know it not set in stone but Its a stupid thought that has to be stoped before it happens.



Well my thought on it. For the Jedi who are going to Flip on it. Think about it. Before you post. It makes No sense. And remeber No name on the terms is a Good idea If they get it to be Online jedi.

First of all, I think taking the names off the missions is a bad idea. Perhaps someone has a friend in a certain guild, or of a certain faction, or even a neutral Jedi friend. I personally wouldn't want to accidently take a mission to kill a friend, only to find out their identity after an hour of hunting.


Taking the payout off the missions is a terrible idea, too. I also wouldn't just take any old job, unless I knew how much it paid. If the payouts are being removed to prevent "paddy hunting", the devs should just make the payout reflect the amount of visibility that the Jedi have earned.




Also, Jedi are going to flip out, no matter what you say, unless it either keeps them from losing xp or benefits them in some other way.

The removal of payouts on missions is probably to stop the constant hunting of low level padawans, and also to give some knights some action too.


The name removal is good too, can keep some BH from getting one Jedi's mission over and over and over and over, most likely each time it will be a different mission.It can also work in your favor too... with no payout and no name how can a Jedi have 5 friends hold his mission?

removing payouts would be a silly idea (that has never stopped them before hehe), i understand the problem with low level hunting but making it into the lottery just wont work



they removed lottery ws slices problemsand giving it to the bh lol

Why not make player bountys roughly the same price? You know, npc mission range from 24K to 26K, why not make player missions range from 190K-210K, randomly, not affected by the targets skills? It would certainly earn a bounty hunter more money than constantly attacking 40K Jedi all day, and odds are you're going to run into a knight who apreciates the action, but thoroughly kicks your respec arse.

Just leave it to the devs to screw something else up. I am actually begginning to wonder who really is running the show with SOE/SWG.


If something works, leave it alone.


I do agree about having online Jedi only on terms, though.


They should atleast tell you what faction the Jedi is. The guild that I am in; we, only hunt rebel jedis. Not having the name of the Jedi on the terms will make things more difficult.

hmmm...so, let's recap the argument:



1. Jedi with finished templates should not be able to be defeated solo....


2.jedi should not have their names on the terms to be able to be ganked (a term that is now used to describe more than one BH-so two is now a gank)...


so............


jedi with finished temps will not be hunted by groups, so will almost never lose (see reason 1)-because the 1.5 times as strong is pretty much crap. Maybe some templates for jedi are, but as there is FoTM jedi just as there are FoTM elite profs, this equation doesn't really stack up.


The oly changes to the terms that should happen are faction should be added, and online stus (although that would cause huge lag I would thing-so that is a maybe)

Taking both names and payouts off the boards is an absolutely retarded idea.
Unless they have a way of showing who isnt sitting AFK in a house on the outskirts of a planet they can basically go and get .... some new subscribers. Same goes for 1v1 on a MASSIVELY-MULITPLAYER-ORPG.

SOE need to start implementing real solutions and not nerfs as solutions to all their problems.
