Bounty Hunter Archive

Last night I decided to see how I stack up against jedi in the new publish. I would go to the term, find a good mission, add them to my friends list to see if they're online, remove them from my friends list, talk to informant, then send Arakyd Droid... every single mark I tried to hunt had gone offline by the time I got to the planet they were on! I'd try to send a probe droid, and get the message "Your target is not online". I tried 10 different missions last night and gave up! What are the chances that 10 different jedi all go offline as soon as I come after them?

Probably just bad luck, what time zone are you in and what time did you do this last night?

I notice a distinct dropoff on players (on my friends list anyway) after about 10:30pm on weeknights.

Primetime of about 6PM PST to 9PM I tend to see a lot of players on.

This was between the hours of 6pm and 8pm central last night. I dunno, that's a heckuva coincidence... something is fishy.

BH-Alert 2000 (tm) FTW!!

In the future add them back to friends to see if they are still online. Sometimes if they are loading into space travel while a probe is looking for them you'll get the target not online message. If they ARE still online give it a few minutes and try again and droid should be able to track them as usual.

one tactic some jedi i know use is to log off for like10 minutes, and log back on, because the majority of bounty hunters will drop the mission the minute they see the target go offline.
