Wah wah wah

I am getting tired of explaining this. Kashyyk is easy. You just have to do things differently. Either work alone or as a group, either way, probably best as a group though. Pick an instance, go down to THE SPOT, take names. Now you go get your mission. It aint that hard. Yes sometimes they will move, not likely though. Maybe half leave, well then the other half of the group that was afk died and are in the cloner at the top of the instance. You people need to start learning to adapt and overcome. If it was impossible to hunt there I would give you some credit. It is supposed to be tougher to hunt there. But it is not even near as impossible as you make it.

Perhaps hunting Jedi isn't for you. There's always NPC marks, or you could just drop bounty hunter altogether.


If you have no patience and/or skill and/or creativity, this profession is not for you.

i just killed my 18th jedi for the day.. all fo them were on kashyyyk. Cost to me? 1 400 use powerup.. a crate of 10 was 1500 so 150 credits. Payout? 3.2 miiion. Most of the jedi were over 200k. yeah the gross majority were afk grinding but that makes it that much easier.

Okay, so in good spirits I took a mission for a Jedi - 100k - that turned out to be on Kashyyyk. That wasn't hard since 80% of the missions I have tried to get are all on Kashyyyk.I am new to BH and I am not that good, so 100k bounty seems like it might be right in line with my abilities and I want a challenge. I have read about Jedi exploiting the advantage of the multiple zones on Kashyyyk, particularly the Ryatt trail, the fact that we can't track them etc, but I figure, hey its a challenge, can I overcome it?


Well, its overcome me. First of all, I spent an hour or two doing the Ryatt Trail mission trying to ensure I can get to the Webweaver level as easily as possible. I restock my bliel, my vasarian brandy, my meds etc in preparation spending huge sums just to try to get one good fight in. I even shell out 20k just to get some Parwan Nutricake as I tried doing the webweaver run to the feral wookie grounds without it and its a pain.


I search 4 of the 6 instances. I see some Jedi in one instance but none of the other BHs I know are on soI have to let it pass. I continue searching for my mark. I know hes online, I know hes somewhere in one of these instances of the Ryatt most likely. I perservere.


Well, all that perservering has gotten me so far is 5 hours wasted, 100k at least spent on a 100k bounty when you include the dmg done to my armor from being DBed twice by spiders or wookies, and I have nothingi to show for it. I have not gotten a fight that I could enjoy - win or lose - and I am *NOT HAVING FUN PLAYING*.


Kashyyyk isn't just painful, it has killed the Bounty Hunter profession in my mind. Jedi are completely free to do whatever the eff they want there because its *simply not worth bothering* to hunt them on Kashyyyk. I am *losing* money in the hunt, and the reward is insufficient as an inducement to continue hunting any jedi that continues to exploit this badly effed up attempt by the devs to engender sales. Its just pathetic, and its about time to quit as a BH I think. Maybe, just maybe, if the reward was say 10x the amount, it would be worth the bother. Right now fishing looks like 10x the fun, and is certainly more profitable.


I was ready to ignore the people whining about Kashyyyk on the boards, thinking it can't be as bad as people say it is etc. Well I was wrong, I admit it. Except Its worse than they have said. This situation is going to let the Jedi expand exponentially, and at the rate the devs deal with things in this game they might as well just delete the other professions and call it Jedi Galaxies.


I was enjoying BH until I came to Kashyyyk. Now I think its time to reconsider Bounty Hunter because its a dead profession, and perhaps time to reconsider the whole damned game.


The only other option would be to join the Jedi it seems, since they have the game by the short and curlies and everything is being handed to them on a silver platter.


Devs, the Jedi aren't feeling hunted, they aren't afraid to look into the shadows and see the BHs that are hunting them, they are laughing their arses off at how safe and sound they are - not through their own efforts but simply because they have the easy life handed to them. I am sure there is little threat to a Jedi these days. BHs might be an annoyance if you venture out of the Ryatt trail but since apparently you can macro your way up the skill trees in a few days there, who will need to.


I will say it again, Bounty Hunter is a dead profession I think, its just not buried yet. When it is buried, the marker will be somewhere on the Ryatt trail










Pay no attention to the trolls, its just flamebait.


Real advice - drop mission on kash as soon as you get em, i do. id rather spend my time killing 2-3 jedi that are on dant or rori or wheverever that waste hours of my life to run down to the wookies on the rryatt trail and have my mark just run to the bugged spot there where you cant shoot at them, and log out.


Once you get a rythem, you can really rack up the credits fast, i can make about 700k - a million in a day if i stick with it and get lucky, especially at primetime(evening and weekends)


Pull 70-120k mission, those are usually the most cost effective in the beginning till you learn the ropes.
