Hey guys, have you heard! the Role play element is HERE! We dont know who our mark is till we get there! We can actually HUNT and take our time! we can now study our mark and find the BEST time to attack! Rejoice REAL Bounty Hunters! We no longer will get out done by the Hybrid invest 3 people. NOW they have to be masters like us! The FOTM has changed! we can now see who REALLY wants to be a BH.

How many of us were MBH when the time being a MBH sucked. How many of you were angry to see all the Invest 3 Melee bh running around doing a btter job than you. How many times did it erk you to see a Master combat medic/ Master carbiner/invest 3 bh take down a mark YOU could not cause you chose to stay true to your craft! Well now you have the rights to brag! you never dropped MBH when you knew it wasnt as good as a melee BH. you didnt drop MBH when you could have just picked up Master combat medic and done a better job. you stuck through it. And now being a MBH really means something.

Rejoice! you veteran MBH know not seeing names is no big deal. cause you have patience. You know you have first strike. you know you can find when they let there guard down. you KNOW your prey. Hunting in groups was a rareity for you. You are a REAL Master Bounty Hunter. You know and understand that these changes did nothing but make YOU more important, and make the tactics you were ALLREADY useing that much more aplicable.

Good Job To the REAL Master Bounty Hunters. You patience once again has payed off.

P.S. i am being serious. I LOVE these changes. it brings back the SKILL in hunting. Thankyou DEVS.

Eh, i'm not as enthusiastic. This doesn't change much, still going to get mission, go to informant, launch droid, go to waypoint, slaughter jedi or be slaughtered. Rinse and repeat. I see no hunt. All i see is the ability to do even more bounties now because i dont have to wade threw all the Offliners and my own faction, so you think your xp debt is big now.. wait till we can do over 20 missions a night /drool

Jedi now know that you don't know who they are, and that's a fundamental shift in the hunt, a significant advantage for Jedi. But if you are looking forward to it, more power to you I guess...

Why does this make you a REAL bounty hunter? Do you think that Boba didn't know who Han Solo was until he showed up? How about modern day real life bounty hunters? Do they have no info on the people they are trying to track down? Gimme a break.

Here's the problem. You spend a week following, tracking, and observing your prey - that's great. I have no problem with doing some homework before I strike. So you wait til it's the perfect moment and you strike only to be cut in half by a fully templated knight with a pre-cu LS. Great! No problem. Now, since you can't see the Jedi's name on the terminal you can't get their mission and try again. So what do you do? Get another mission and start the whole process over again! AWESOME! LIFE AS A REAL BOUNTY HUNTER IS FUN!

I'm not looking for an "I Win" button, but this is stupid. How many knights do you think you'll be able to solo as a REAL bounty hunter?

Moving Jedi missions to MBH is a moot point post-CU. Invest. 3 bounty hunter hybrids are just not as effective against Jedi as an MBH template.

Regarding the not-knowing-your-mark, ... I find it ironic that a Jedi could do a /duel on you and know that he's your mark even before you know it.

No names is a joke. Imagine Jabba telling Boba Fett, "Here's the bio sig of the person I want you to kill. I can't give you a name and how much your payout is, you will know that when the job is complete." I doubtFett or any other BHwould take the job. I'm quitting the game if this really happens.

Exactly my point. This is so a$$-backwards, it's not even funny. I guess I'm not a REAL BH

Not sure why you see this as a good thing....the fact that you could get invest 3 and then go dabble elsewhere was nice, becuase it created diversity in the profession. Not only that, now jedi know that you will be coming with ranged, so it is more of a knock to you, since the thought of melee is no longer a problem (hasn't been too big post cu anywho, but still). you will now just have to deal with valor. So in a sence it is a form of a nerf . My main was a melee stackin BH before cu, now, I am a MBH, Rifle, CM and I loved it back in the day, I loved being a jedi then too. You could not just think about ranged coming for you, you would have to deal with tough melee profs too. it was freakin smerfin, but now everyone will just be another drone, with maybe a lil dabbling. Most BH's will just use the same abilities since they can not dabble enough in other profs. I see all BH's becoming MBH/Pistol/Carb, MBH/MCM/Carb, MBH/Rifle/Pistol, this just plain out sucks, everyone will do the same damn thing. The only thing that will be different when a BH comes, is may their toons physical characteristics and armor.

Ohh well though, I have come to expect the BS from SOE, they are kinda mor-tards when it comes to what ppl want and like.

A real BH? W T F is that? Maybe I am lost, just cause the Fett's where ranged, that makes it so all "BH's" have to be ranged....a BH is a "Bounty Hunter", I see nothin in that that say a Guy/gal with a gun. All BH's are is Merc's plain and simple. However you go aboutHunting and killing your Bounty, is besides the point of a "real BH"

its a crappy idea to remove names and mission payouts from the terms, coz who want to fight against a nameless mark and dont even know the payout till he wins? for example, imagine u have a mark and dunno the name or the payout. u start hunting and at the moment u are attacking your mark u maybe get slaughtered fast, u didnt even know if the mark's payout was high enough to spend some time hunting? and u cant take another mission of that jedi so u couldnt have your revenge if u get slaughtered! I THINK THIS SUCKS!!! (sorry for the bad spelling)
