Why not set up a system where padawans can only be hunted 1 on 1, Knights 2 on1, and Masters 3 on 1, but allow bh 2 group together instead of having to search forever to get the same mark. If they are a pady then you cannot be grouped. If they are a knight then you may be grouped with one other bh and if they are a master you may be grouped with 2 other bh's.


This way no one will have 5 bh attacking them at once and those that have 2 or three will have a better chance at defending themselfs because they are a higher level. this would eliminate 2 or three bh going after a pady and make it easier for 2 bh to get the same mission.

OR

Make unlimited # of missions available.
Make the jedi and BH actually locke din combat, noit even another BH can jump in until teh other BH dies.
if the currently fighting BH dies, then the jedi has a 10 second timer on him unitl the next BH with his mission is able to attack. thatll shut em up

Very wise, you are.


This is a perfect example of what the devs must go through - come up with a good idea only to find out it will be exploited to no end. And no, not everyone will exploit, but a lot do.

It's a solution to one problem, but magnifies another. Jedi will still be able to have their friendly BH hold their mission. While this can still happen, they should not reduce the number of missions on a particular jedi.

i know a jedi knight that has 4 bounty hunter alts that hold his mission so only one bounty hunter can attack him. If you and yourpartner tryrefreshing to get a mission on em, when you both find the mission and then accept, one of you gets the mission and the other gets an error message.


Already exploited by wealthy players.


I for one want a Bounty hunter terminal that lets u select either npc missions or player missions. If you choose player missions it lists a dozen missions at a time with the name of the mark. After one hour after the jedi logs out the mission is no longer on the terms until the jedi logs back into the game. No cap on bh missions, let as many bhs go after them. The jedi should be running for their lives, hiding, not out in the open in front of imperials displaying their lightsabers and force abilties.



Bh Groups are harder than you think, i have fought in 3 man and 4 man teams and got wasted by a single jedi who knows how to fight. Its alot of fun.


Also, i know many bh may not like it, but when you use a probe droid to locate your mark, you have to specify which planet to search, it helps droid engineers out alot and bh's have to use their player skills to decided which planets to search. When the probe droid finds the player, it will land near em for a few minutes and if the jedi sees it, he can attack the droid and mess up the droids message to you, droid can fight back and self destruct doing massive amounts of damage in the blast radius, possibly incapping the jedi. You can send multiple probe droids to different planets simulataneously.


Seekers droids you should have to specify a city or area on the planet to look, if the jedi is no longer on the planet you get a message telling you so, no matter where you sent the seeker to look. When the seeker finds your mark, it relys location and it puts the jedis health bar up on your screen letting you know his condition.The health statusrefreshes with each message from the seeker. You can send multiple seekers to differentlocations and/or to the same areas. Seekers can tell you if your mark is inside a player structure or not. They saves us alot of time.


thats what i like to see changed about bounty hunter.
