I ask this. How are we supposed to sneak up on jedi when all they have to do is see if we can duel them to tell if we are after them.

We'll drive up on our marks and all the jedi are just going to be clicking on duel. So while you try to find out who your target is...they'll know who you are before you know who they are...that blows the whole advantage that is supposed to even us out.

They need to fix this issue if the publish 20 changes are to make bounty hunting even feasible. Otherwise it will be just something to boost those already egotistical jedi's egos.

To make matters worse, they don't even need to type /duel to see if you have their mission. All they need to do is pull up a radial menu on you. If "duel" doesn't show up as an option, then they know that you have their mission. Basically, you don't know that they know ... giving THEM the element of surprise when they are fully battle ready when you start to attack.

Its not the surprise which is in the BH's favour, its the first strike ability.

Sure, you may lose the surprise element on your first pass but that doesn't mean it has to be that way for the entire mission. Think of this for a moment -

You get your wp and drive up and see your jedi mark who bolts off to hide in his house, or force runs away - you now have the name of the jedi.

/tell -jedi- damn a$$hat runners.. i guess you got lucky this time... (<- reverse psychology)

Leave the area, leave the planet but don't drop the mission, come back in a couple of hours. Have a friend come from the opposite direction (doesn't need to have the mission.. or even be a BH, it just needs to be someone to take the attention of the jedi for a moment.. if he runs, chances are it will be in your direction).

While he's occupied from inspecting the first dot on the radar, you open up from the other side. If the jedi is also fighting at the time it would also be a get a lot more messy.

With a little bit of thought.. you can get around pretty much any situation to reduce the power advantage than jedi have.

The duel is a minor issue, the bigger one is the heads up map display. they need to make it so you're invisible to your mark on the map.

Duel will be a huge issue to a lot of BH's after pub20 since you have to introduce yourselves to get the jedi name now. It wont effect riflemen as much though because we can sneak up on our prey but I feel bad for any carbs or pistol based BH's because pub20 is basically making them play tab games and while the jedi is getting a radial on you or typing /duel. Basically they will know who is after them before the BH knows who to target.

The second you get into visual range, the jedi has his speeder out and is taking off. The next thing you know, he's on kashyyk, then bam logged out.

Whining aside. It has to be fixed. Keep it the inability to duel someone when they have your mission, just remove the message. Make it seem that duel request has beensent like any other duel request.

That's funny, seeing as trade requests worked gave the jedi the same warning at the very least up until they altered the GCW system.
