Bounty Hunter Archive
Thread: So.. now that BH=Fotm class becuase they can farm the best loot..
MBH is not FOTM.
Doc, CM and Medic are FOTM.
Because it's a requirement to hunt bounties, to PvP, to PvE for all..if they want to play in the higher league. Cu was to fix FOTM...Instead, we're back to square 1...instead of melee stackers, we now have medic stackers.
As for the loot....It's about time, that you can get some, from other places than the dang cheapskate afk loot wh0res, that has dictated the prices of what we need. Your economy might hurt, because you can't sell them as high as before, but thats you. Overall, every player benefit from a drop of prices, even the new players. Smugglers, benefit from this, as they are not having a good time with this new "slice loot", with the AFK lootwh0res and other cheapskates, demanding horrid prices for slicing tools, and at the same time, cry wolf if a smuggler then demands that cost price + fee for the slice.
I'm rather happy, that loot works one place, outside of the caves and loot wh0res jurisdiction. I can only hope, that instead of nerfing this, as it seems some cheapskates and shortsighted people seem to want happend, is that they expand the system. Let others partake in the high level, boss game, and be able to get loot that will benefit them, without them having to pay a lootwh0res ebay fee for credit auctions.. Everyone but them, benefit from this.
So, if anyone want to come become a MBH and play hide and seek with the bounties, so be it. The more BH's. the more BH's we might persuade to join in on the fight against jedi.
Although the poster of this thread had bad intentions and an even worse way of going about it there is a good point. I really think that there should be "missions" of some type for other professions. Like pistoleers can take missions to go have a gunfight with some npc pistoleer, docs have to go keep some party alive (with npcs that he can heal), TKMs can go and "enter" martial arts fights, I don't know something to make there a difference between profs other than skills and such.
On a side note, I LOVE the new BH missions hehe.
I was more thinking..
Well, since "profession specific" missions, seem to be something SOE would maybe implement the day cats learn to fly spaceships and mice, command them to do so...
That every lvl 80-81 mission, faction and neutral, NPC mission, had a small chance to spawn a boss mob.
Ofcourse, they would have to bring back the "Beta missions" for these. Wich means real bases and "houses", and not the tent/flag camps we have today.
This is what I stated on another board:
My guess would be that the drop rate is based overall % to the economy. Something like50 good loot drops will be given out each day, spaced evenly through out the hour... like 2 good drops every hour for all the missions. (basic # for general point)
Meaning that the first days when it started and less BH's were hunting, you had a higher chance of getting the good loot because you were competing with 50 other BH on same server. So if there are 50 drops a day and 50 hunters you have a good chance to get atleast 1 good loot.
Now with about ever BH hunting (and it is the weekend) you will get less ofthegood loots because, they are being spreed out to all the new hunters. So if there are 50 drops a day with 300 BH's hunting that means you have less of a chance.
I really do believe the good loot is on a # per day basis for each type of NPC.
Now that every BH is running these missions loot drop looks to be going down for the good stuff. When in fact it is not it just you do not have as high of a chance.
This is why when people harvest krayt all day, they seem to be getting less drops... krayt and other NPC's probally have a set # of good loot drops per hour.
So my guess would be that now is the time to loot the other NPC's --- Why? Because there is less compettion for the good loot drops.
If this is right (and I really think it is) Bringing in a different NPC will make it so BH are not hunting Krayt and other things... this is turn will increase the non-BH's chance of getting loot from regular boss NPC's.
This is a balance, before it was every dam player hunting the same thing or macrolooting the same thing... Meaning less of a chance for the good stuff for all.
Now this will split the looting to some here some there giving more of a chance for all.
I do agree that more people should have access to this kind of content. These boss marks are an enjoyable fight and have decent loot on top of that. I really am enjoying SWG with these NPC mark enhancements. I'd love to see more things like this become available for the other professions.

Lol, Its to funny this whole thing was written as a joke more or less as I hadn't seen to many post like this yet. I'm glad that the first person to post actualy had fun with it man some of you guys are to sensitive. And ya the guys that said this will help the economy, hell ya I'm all for that armor decays to fast for it to cost so much same with weapons in general unless you are mad rich and can plop ADK's down on every item. I myself have 2 so far and that came from farming Krayts mindlessly to sell tissues none of that afk cheese here thanks.
Lol.. Perhaps you haven't been on the BH forums much. We've been getting nerf cryers since before the patch was active. And most of them aren't "I want more," they've been "If I cant have it you shouldn't either". It's been sickening because most of these people dont realize how much time, effort and money goes into bounty hunting. We even had the Pistoleer Correspondent posting snide remarks at us (post got deleted quick fast in a hurrry, glad to say). I am in total agreement that other professions should have more content like this but not at the expense of our content. This is widely agreed upon by the BH community but so many people are crying nerf we are in nerf bat defence state of mind.
um, i am looting about 10m a day. where else you get this kind of loot? very few places.
maybe some BHs can, but i can kill 6 marks an hour. that is on average 2 BH armor pieces, a +10ish SEA, 10 lvl 4 slicing components in 2 hours. about 2-3m per hour, the 200k credits is just throw away money. there are a couple placeselse to get loot like this, but about every 3rd hour you get some ridiculously high stated weapon component to boot. +70ish scopes, +180ish cells/feeders. no this is the best per hour loot, or, at least close enough that the fact you very rarely loss the mob to players/NPCs pushes it over the edge.
to the original poster, i was MR/MCM/0004 doc, dropped doc to pick up novice BH, all you need for these missions and it didnt take a half hour. (am currently 0004 BH)
i do find it funny that BHers were among the biggest criers about the DJK missions, which anyone can do, but now that they (we lol) have this crazy cash cow, that no other class can use, on our doorstep, it is working as intended.

You know how dumb posts like this are? It seems you dont know anything you are talking about. It has been stated by a lot of BH that you can get loot faster doing other things. And quite frankly, why is it such a bad thing that a BH gets a reward for doing their job? The cash before was the same it is now and you can make waymore cashgroup hunting that BHing. The current system gives BH a reason to be BH. And on top of this, there are easier ways to get loot. This way is just more fun for those of us who like to BH. So, please, stop your complaining.

First the "leet" speak is childish. Second I agree that Docs should get some better content but rahter than complaining here why not go to the Doc forums and discuss the matter there? May get more accomplished by doing that rather than complaining...
We all know the devs only read the BH and Jedi forums.. the other professions dont exist
