Just wondering if theres been any recent discussion about this?


I can picure the advertising...



Have you ever been spit on for being an Imperial/Rebel?


Has someone purposefully blew your cute lil Vir-Vur's head off?


Has a 'friend' ever 'borrowed' expensive items from your home?


Then register your bounty at your local BH terminal! Where all your deaths can come true.

never. the bh jedi dynamic has always been the major source of grief and nerfage since it was implemented. you realy want every profession trying to get bh nerfed instead of just one?

no chance to easly exploited with out a VIs system then everyone would have to be brought up to our level. (if they already arent). although i would LOVE a proper bounty system to come in

I doubt it. Player initiated bounties open up too much on an opportunity for griefing to go on.


Say I have a ton of money and I don't like you. I will offer 10mil to be paid in 1mil increments for killing you 10 times.



I would think we'd see the Bounty Terminals expand to include other professions like smugglers for instance, LONG before the community was mature enough to handle player initiated bounties.

Way back when, Green Marine proposed an 'elective' visibility system for smugglers that would have made for a stellar player bounty system.


Basically, there were two types of smuggler missions you could take, those that would add vis if you failed, and those that wouldn't.


If you were up to the possibility of landing on the terminals, take the vis missions. Simple yet effective.


Will we ever see it in action? Don't hold you breath.

there are jedi on the jedi forums with a great idea of actually expanding the bh relationship with other proffesions like fencer etc. i mean theres more than one reason to have a bounty on your head why cant we share the BH love?

I thought that smuggles were getting something like this.



I cound be wrong, but the posts there made it sound like rangers and BH will both be able to hunt smugglers

*looks for the lynch mob*
*guages to see how far away*

Okay, I can probably get enough of a running start.

It'd be great for smugglers to have the optional "visability" missions. They should be the equivalent (or slightly harder) to BH NPC missions.

But, there should be optional "criminal empire" missions anyone can do. Less payout, more just "go and kill, bring back x" than anything intracate, but allows everyone to get in on the "fun".

Of course, I hope that after the GCW gets a revamp, we can see something devoted to "sub alegances" where you can be rebel, neutral or Imperial in the GCW but can take on certain criminal aspects... of course, Imperials should probably be aligned with the "powers that be"... but hey, we have imperial smugglers.

last i heard the idea was optional. a smuggler does smuggler missions where he getsa NPC BH after him if he wish's to do really really challengeing and highly rewarding stuff he gets a PC bh after him

The biggest problem with other proffessions getting hunted is that it leaves too much scope for Abuse.


Currently if a full temp jedi loses to a bh, they lose almost 500k exp, if you arent a powergrinder, this can take some time to claw back - if a Smuggler were to lose exp, it would take about 20 mins to pull that back.


The reason exp loss is in the game is to stop guildmates killing each others jedi for eash Credits. This would be very hard to stop if other profesions were able to be hunted - because this system needs a lot of thought and common sence, I dont see SOE implementing it
