Bh is a pretty solid as far as its skills.This patch wont change that. Fact is we are the only prof in the game that gets content build in. Fencers dont pikemen dont rifleman dont tkas dont commandos dont etc. We should feel lucky for that. Why is it that every change to the BH jedi system everyone screems that our prof is over? Why dont the fencers screem that they dont have unique content just for them? Why are we the whiny ones?

This whole patch just reminds me of the CU coming out. Everyone kicked and screemed how bad it was and now most of us like it. Pub 20 will be no different.

the same reason that pub19 was the end of the Jedi. Alarmism and entrenched resistance to any change.

some BHs are scared that, while its going to be one on one now, Max templates will still be the same uberness. Which is quite stupid in an online game

We do lose some things.

1) Grouping. Planning an assault on multiple levels, no matter the difficulty of the target, will beimpossible. I can't remember the last time I planned a grouped assault though, so I have to say to me, this is non-concern as it was implemented in a way that means the jedi can't exploit it. And there still is a statistical chance that there will be multiple BH's fighting the same mark.

2) Opportunities. My last200K+ kill? A jedi cloned right next to me when I refreshing the terminals. He runs of. I get his mission. I patiently wait inside a building 100m from thecloner. Sure enough, hereturns to it. He sits down outside. He channels himselfdown to 500 health. I lazily exit the starport building, run over and collect.

BH willcease to be a mindset. Everywhere there is a lightsaber to be seen, there is an opportunity to pursue. With the change, BH will be an activity we perform, not a state of mind throughout our entire play session. To me, that dumbs the profession down, and is what I'll miss the most, no doubt.

... on the other hand, cheering jedi tends to forget a few things that we're actually gaining.

1) The TEF. The new incarnation is much better than a simple fix of the old one to make it work properly. Despite the reduction in duration, this change is not going to make the life of a jedi easier.

2) Faction. Self-explanatory.

3) Online status. This, in combination with the above (assuming the refresh algorithm is designed in a way that makes jedi missions appear as often as they do now, meaning we see more of less), can mean that any given online jedi with visibility will be hunted more than before.

4) Mission decay. Although a two edged sword that reduces a tactical element of bounty-hunting (Returning at another time), it kills the lameass little punks with 5 BH's holding their mission.

But there's still several issues;

1) Kashyyyk. Self-explanatory.

2) Are going to get the names at some point during the hunt, before we actually see them?

3) Payout. *May* get an additionalreward? What the fudge does that mean?

4) We still can't sneak. /duel and they know what we're doing. If I wanted a duel were both sides could prepare in peace and quiet, I'd get a duel. I want stealth, and nothing's been done to address the lack thereof.

Yeah, pub 20 isnt the end of BHers, its just the end of us capping the jedi master population. Now they'll be free to run rampant afk whilst we never see them on the terminals until they reach master and go fight in the GCW.

No change to the rest of the BH game at all,the majority willjust be NPC wp chasers now like we used to be before Jedi even came into the game.

I'd also like to know how we are to identify the mark. Without names my seeker could lead me to a crowded starport and I'd have to cycle through targets until one looked like a player?

I also seem to recall a dev mentioning the fact that these are not concrete changes ( they did "Slip" out ). So it seems like alot of speculation. Then again if its gone as far as to show up on a list a dev had it has good potential of going live, if not slightly modified.

its the end of jedis having anything to actually fear....

they can quietely and conviently grind their way through their template

once they reach full template, they can roam around trash talking camping people at starports

and the only people to stop them is a very small handfull of bhs with extremely

high-damaged weapons, and the hope that they are in the middle of a duel or force

regen or afk while you kill them
