Bounty Hunter Archive

Oh, and I am willing to bet my left cyber arm that allowing so many offline missions to be listed on terminals was not at all an intendeddesign feature. The sensible part of the code for delisting missions is the player logoff subroutine, not the BH / Jedi / Terminals code that they were working on. They couldn't find an efficient way of doing it by changing the terminal code, so they just left it in and tried to hawk it to the players as a "feature", unaware of how the cumulative number of listed offline Jedi far outgrows the number of listed online Jedi once a server has been up 24 hours or more.

The efficient way, that perhaps they haven't thought of yet,is to go to the team that owns the player logoff code, and tell them "Hey, we need you to clear Jedi who log off from the BH terminals, here's the subroutine we want you to call when a Jedi logs off."

Face it jedi got you nerfed. You can't even do what your profession is meant to do because most jedi can't really play the game and do not have the mental capacity to adapt and survive. They volunteered to be a jedi and knew what the risks where but couldn't live upto it. Now we have to try and adapt, but is it really worth it? All those offline messages. They expect you to take that kashyyyk mission even though you will not get a name at all and will not know if the target logs off or not. and if you do search all the instances and get incredibly lucky they'll probably use the LOS bug.

If I had a dime every time I read a Bounty Hunter post that said "You choose your profession, now live with it." to a Jedi.... I'd be rich. Rich? Yeah, more wealth than you can imagine. I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.

Anyway... now the shoe is on the other foot... you CHOOSE to be a BH, now LIVE WITH IT.

Ok, I think the publish wasn't all bad I think getting rid of names was a good Idea.. considering all the people I know getting ganked over and over again from the same people, just because they pissed them off along time ago. But as far as jedi and the whole online off line thing, bh needs more to work with I dont mind stalking my pray for an hour in fact I kinda like it but I hate grabing missions then finding out after the trip that my target is offline. This to me is far more a waste of time and is just plain fustrating. I think the bh needs a droid screen much like an artisan has when surveying. It shows the mad the curent droid loction and and online off line message that will go on or off when the jedi does.

One other thing that bothers me though is the that jedi can grind and gain no visability this will really reduce the number of jedi missions. But rather than say get rid of It I say let em have it and make it easier for Bh to hunt jedi in cities. When ever a jedi uses his powers in a city you not only get a bio signature but the informant gives you his current planet. This should really reduce the amount of complaints you hear about to many jedi running around cities using their powers.

Guys do you all know whats happening? I belive i DO i think its a bug the DEV's over looked remeber before publidh 20 if your target went AFK? your probot would tell you target is not online. i saw a bunch of jedi running around yesterday with AFK abover their head but they were running around. the jedi have all figured this out and are exploiting this bug to thier fullest. i got lots of missions yesterday and a ton were comming up not online but i have seen like 15 to 20 jedi dueling in theed there is no way that many jedi are offline.
