/agree
Ive managed to find 2 jedi online - 45k missions - level 80 jedi! So the prices are no indicator to the jedi level at all. Ive had dozens of 'target is not online' and i am really not happy that the Dev team, again, havent a clue what they are doing.
It was fine before but now this lets SOE's little money makers run around getting better. Kashyyk has become a safe haven because you cant track anyone, you have no name and in a place so full of lag, you have to tab everything to see if he is your target.
But why are we complaining? We all know what SOE are like with this game. Bravo, bring on more daft ideas

Ok out of 15 jedi missions i took 1 person was online before i gave up. This is pathetic i thought it was supossed to only show jedi that are online!
I also heard i got quite lucky im hearing from fellow bounty hunters that they have spent hours trying to find a huntable Jedi. I dont have time to play this game as much as i would like to and when i do get a chance i dont want to be spending hours trying to find someone to hunt i want to get online and enjoy a game i pay to play.
I am also hearing cloaking is now done mid combat and that you can hit them from a range of under 50 m and they can simply turn their cloak on. This needs to be sorted out too surely a ranged bounty hunter should'nt be able to attack them from 50 m then have the target simply dissapear. I like the idea of cloak for Jedi but to allow them to do it mid combat is pathetic.
I dont want cheese with my whine so dont try to be funny if you agree with my points please /sign

That's the exactline some Jedi use when your successful in killing them and making them lose hours of xp.
funny world, don't you think?
Cloaking? well, if your not withinthe minimum rangeof the target, they can cloak. simple solution, stay close. Your using your ability to engage at 50m there using theirs to escape. Would it be fair for a bh not to be able to use ranged weapons at 50m?
no, didn't think so.
just my $0.02

/agree the terminals DO need to only generate missions for Jedi who are currently on line. If Jedi A is on line when Bounty Hunter A checks the terminals the mission should be there. If Jedi A logs off BEFORE Bounty Hunter B checks the terminals...Jedi A's mission should NOT genterate for Bounty Hunter B because Bounty Hunter B will waist valuable time and resources trying to find a mark that has logged off. this is completely unfair to Bounty Hunters.

i don't know about how long Bounty Hunters have been searching for marks, but i can tell you that on the first day i fought 3 Bounty Hunters and at least 4 others in my PA also had Bounty Hunters come for them, some only had one, others had 3 like i did.
unfortunately both Bounty Hunter and Jedi are not really 'casual player' friendly professions. SOE would love for us to believe the game is entirely casual player friendly, but Bounty Hunter and Jedi take up waaaay too much time for them to be truly casual player friendly.

don't know about this one asi do not have cloak, but i think there should be agood chance for the Jedi Mind Trick 'cloak' to fail while in combat. you opponent knows you are there, theyhave been engauged in COMBAT with you so it should be exceedingly difficult to convince them that suddenly... you are not there.

Yeah I had a mark cloak on me twice yesterday in combat and try to get away...unfortunately for him, if you keep launching seekers you can just just follow him around and slowly drain them...Or call in guildies to come follow you too and drain him really fast. It was interesting..I'm not griping at all, just letting everyone know my experience. I won the fight...so I guess it was good
It simply makes it easier for Jedi. The "Target is not online" is absurd. I would like the old method back and filters!!!

Classic proof of the warnings I gave during beta to anyone who would read or listen.
The problem is simple: if you add Jedi to the terminals when they log on, but you do not remove them from terminals when they log off, you don't need a rocket scientist to tell you that eventually (12, 24, 36, 48 hours after the server has been reset)the number of missions for offline Jedi will totally swamp the small number of missions for online Jedi.
The fix is equally, even stupidly, simple: when Jedi log off, and the system is saving their status etc., call a subroutine to remove their mission from the terminals.
