Thread: bounty hunters and jedi
Haden Blackman: Jedi need to be mindful of where, around whom, and how often they use their powers. There is a separate "reputation" modifier for Jedi, which we call "visibility." Jedi rack up more "visibility" every time they use their powers. The amount of visibility earned varies depending upon the character's relationship to those around him. If a Rebel Jedi is using Force powers around Imperials, he'll gain visibility more quickly. When visibility hits a certain mark, there's a chance the Jedi will become a target for bounty hunter missions.
Ok, I suppose that in a few Expanded Universe books the relationship between Jedi and bounty hunters was described as something adversarial. Great!
Now, more than ever, Bounty Hunters need to be given an Underworld Faction and made non-GCW aligned. Why? How ridiculous is it for Rebels to be killing other Rebels (though one happens to be Jedi)? Or Imperials killing other Imperials (though one happens to be Jedi... err, wait - didn't the Sith want to kill off all other Jedi, even the "Dark" Jedi - why would they allow these "Imperial" FSCS around again?)
Anyhow, we have Player Bounties finally. Yay. Now why don't they create a generic Underworld Faction, allow Smugglers to join it, refuse BHs to join the GCW as direct participants, and let them hunt Jedi & Smugglers?
Just my two cents,
I was curious about one big thing though....what is the requirement of being killed by a bounty hunter. In other words, what does a jedi need to do to show up on the bounty hunter terminal. Does the requirement require one to use force infront of NPCs (like something I read)?
Thanks.
NObody knows exactly - some people say it is if u use lightsaber in front of others, other people say it is when you use force in front of others, other say when you kill imperial npcs, and there are peopel that say that eating french fries makes you appear there - it is not sure.
One thing to be certain it has soemthign with using force - every tiem you do it you gain soem visibility...
Thanks for the info :: drools like Homer Simpson::

since the last publish there has been a lot jedi and bounty hunters very unhappy with a the stuff whats been going on,mabey its time we all started to show each a little respect and come to a jedi vs bounty hunter compromise ,here is what i was thinking what about if a jedi is killed by a bounty hunter and only a bounty hunter he or she will suffer no xp skill loss,mabey that would take a little of the risk away for the jedi the jedi profession is supposed to be FULL of risk, not have less and less with each patch. and stop the roof top macro.it would still makegaining xphard for the jedi becuase he/she would have to gain xp by pvm and still have to deal with bounty hunters at the same time. in return the devs give bounty hunters a bounty hunter vs jedi defence mod, the way i see it master bounty hunter should be only profession that has a fair chance to take out jedi and not these others that only take the investigation 3 part of it, move jedi missions to mbh only.what you think both jedi and bounty hunters
and please no flaming here, if you realy have to flame start ya own thread
