Hi,
I'm a MBH and firstly I want to say that IMHO the jedi death system is absolutely stupid. I think jedi's put too much effort to gain their experience to loosea box every time they die.Nowadays newbie jedis are too afraid to come in the open because they are too weak at the begining, and in general jedis have nothing to gain from engaging in pvp. I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this totally screws the game experience for a jedicharacter. It must be BORING to hunt alone afraid of appearing in BH terminals.
I propose several things:
1) Eliminate that tef jedi's get that allows every single newbie marksman in a starport to attack him, I mean, that's really stupid. Make ST attack him, make ST better or whatever, but why should a jedi be attackable by everyone? Of course overt jedis can be attacked.
2)As a BH, I like being able to hunt jedis. However, if I get player bounties against anyone I can pass without it.To this date I've hunted 3 jedi, one was training in a house, one was in a lakeand one seriously kicked my butt and spit on me a couple of times. I mean, jedi hunt is cool, but I don't think jedi's should have a penalty for dying at the hands of a BH (not that I know many which have been successfull).
3) To control jedi population, make dark side jedi's attack light side ones. It should be that way, but nowadays I don't see any of this. Make skill loose or whatever u want the penalty for these deaths, make them matter, otherwise we are going to end with loads of master jedis around, and that is simplyabsurd. Why are BH supposed to control jedi population? We are useless in pvp and I thought Vader destroyed the jedi, not the bh guild. I don't know anything about jedi's skills and such but, in my opinion, jedi's skill tree should focus in lightsaber combat, and all the cool powers should be learnt through quests or from a higher level jedi. That way jedi's should seek each other and give them a sense of community.
Anyway, for me what's important is that the jedi playing experience should be rewarding and not damn boring as it seems, at least for me. Also, I want BH to be enhanced, I mean, I'm not a BH only to hunt jedi (I'm a total wussy about it anyway
).
Please don't be too harsh

Actually, we don't lose a skill every time we die. It takes a few deaths before we have the possibility to lose a skill.
As for the JTEF, as much as I sometimes loathe it, it does serve a purpose. Stormtroopers should not be what Jedi are worried about, not that players should pose much of a threat for high level Jedi. I think they need to institute the NPC BH system that they originally had planned.
Other than that I pretty much agree with you. They are making Jedi PvP part of the new leveling system in the Jedi revamp.

I got an idea on player bounties. This idea will create a whole new profession with added material. My idea is to start making player bounties on average players. Of course only Lvl 80s would apply. The profession would be Like a Investigator/detective/Snitch/whatever name you can think off. His job would be to find those who have killed many in PVP, by scaning or something liek that, to find those who have large amounts of unspent cash/greedy people (or something to that nature and you rich people dont start yelling ok it just a suggestion of course there would be some way to monitor or hides earnings. They could also spy on smugglers and the amounts of spices they make. And this person can Report them to a NPC(terminal consultant) and the npc would add their name to BH terminals. under a different catagory. And when you kill this person you are of course added BH exp. Now i know ther are alot of people out ther to just bash the hell out of this idea, and i ask you not too. I am sure these ideas could be worked on, but they are just suggestions, any feed back would be nice. I was bored and was thinking of extra BH and all around material.
