Thread: Have recent patches cause less Jedi Hunting?

I was looking forward to the no name patch, thought I would see some BH action(almost never happens with a full template). I've noticed that no one I know has been hunted since the patches. Did it totally destroy the system? Just curious.

Not sure, but it looks like those with the most visability get assigned first. Normaly the most active, full template Jedi does not care about his/her visabilty and thus is first on the list.

not totally destroyed the system no...but I for one know I cant take a full temp, and since now with the vis settings (none from group members etc) the only jedi on the terms (that I've seen) have wanted to be hunted, i.e full temp.

I tend to last somewhere between 5-45 seconds, and its expensive to continualy have my butt handed to me giftwrapped.

Think you'll find that quite a few BH's now are trying the new npc content.

I dont hunt player toons anymore cos
a: its not worth the payout.
b: if by tactical planning and doing my job I do win, i get half an hour of hate tells and "fu noob i wasnt ready".
c: if I can make more money from npc's and actually have some prayer of survival, i'll take it thanks very much.

just my 2c

most BHs i know no longer hunt jedi, because they:



a) dont want to hunt full temps alone (or cant)


b) want to hunt with friends (and dont hunt until its possible again)



i for myself hunt jedi. but not as often as before, because mostly i get full temps and they are really hard to beat alone. most time they are waiting for a bh and good prepared. no fun hunting this jedis....



before the patch i was hunting full temps often. but now they have nothing better to do, only waiting for bhs.... not really funny :/

From what i can see there has been a huge decrease in BH's hunting Jedi.

BH Terminals at Kadara where totally surrounded by BH full a few weeks

back now your lucky if you see a single BH checking the missions.


I think that BH in general NOT ALL of course are sick of getting beat down all

the time by full templates ( not much fun all the time , for some ). No money in

unsuccessfull misions in my experience 80% of Marks are on Kash.

You need the most expensive gear to take on a full template , and with the new

system you dont know who your going can end up and does for meas being

expensive with little reward moneywise or PVP wise for the amount of time and

effort invested.


Personally i liked the names and the proper Bountiesnot having them has just taken away a large

part of what BH is about studying your marks etc etc. If your griefing then you

should get banned , now what was a broken but half working system is now gimped.

Hence the result not so many BH taking missions.

I stayed and hunted Jedi after the names and payout where gone. I beat some, I lost some. But100% of the jedi I took on where all Full Temps. Didn't get any lower Jedi, just full Temps which is what set alot of people off.


I personaly, I enjoy a great challange, and I can tell after the fight who the adults are and who the children are. The adults don't send dump tells and hate tells since, well they are full Temps so either way they are happy.


But I also enjoy to hunt with my guild mates, which only leaves me with two or so hours a night to hunt Jedi, which at the moment has changed.


Since the last patch, 21, I have't even looked at a jedi mission, and am currently doing all the NPC missions. I also know I will be doing this for a while, I have a few guild mates that can use the tapes for crafting and well I can use any combat ones as well. I made a Droid Engeener in my guild very happy yesterday with a tape I got. Don't remember the exact states but I know I could of sold it for a ton.


I think right now jedi missions are almost dead because of pub 21, as BH take a break from fighting full temp jedi. I will kill NPC's most likey this weekend, then will go back to grinding with my guild mates, hunting Jedi& NPC's when possible.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yep. NPCs don't run for the LOS. It's JUST that simple.

NPCs don't:


1. afk grind on kash;


2. don't exploit;


3. give better rewards (on average); and


4. don't hate /tell after they're killed.

Nope, went Jedi hunting last night. 2 on kashyyyk and 4 afk in houses. Was great fun, so much in fact I dont think I will ever bother with the NPC missions.

I can only agree with the previous posters....since the "no-name" patch I haven´t had a mark that has been below 220k. Tough fights all of them....guess I´ve lost about 2/3 fights...


I liked the old system better...


Kadaara is still crowded, but everyone is hunting ncp's now.





Many...many down, lots to go...

So it basically seem that since only other jedi like me(who have alway been visible and are now full template) are the only ones that are on the terms, it is now useless to hunt us. This is disappointing in a major way. I can't feel right about figting in GCW because I have such an advantage(I guess this isn't true because GCW is 90% jedi these days)and now BH are very very restricted. Seems like the only thing I can do is ask my friends to /duel.


Well, More power to you for the sweet loot drops I suppose.

Neither do most full templated jedi. They don't need to grind anymore, exploit LOS on the ryatt trail, give any more $$$ than a low lev paddy, and they don't get upset for death because they don't care about xp loss.
