I hear a lot of players (at least 2,000 per day) asking for the level of content available to current Bounty Hunters, but who do not want to advocate in favor of forced PvP. As well, promises of player-placed bounties have been put forth for literally years now. I bring you a solution to both issues.

Bounty Huggers.

We will be the Light Side of the Bounty Profession. To be honest, I don't think it is haughty at all to put forward that this is the best idea ever put forth by anyone about anything.

Subtle changes will be made to the skill tree to accomodate these changes. The trees will be changed to reflect the nature and requirements of the rigors surrounding hugging...for cold, hard credits.

One large change is that Bounty Hugger will not branch off of Ranged Support 4 any longer. This requirement will be replaced by Entertainer Item Use 4, for reasons to become clear later in my proposal.

Investigation will remain mostly the same, although Dueling Stance will be renamed "Tulip Stance." It will be accompanied by an emote that will give your mark a VERY pretty flower, which will soften them up for the hug to come. In addition, all droids will now be pink and covered in marshmallow fluff.

As one increases in Bounty Mission Difficulty, they will go from hugging Entertainers and local drunkards to Politicians and finally to the ultimate levels of hug targets: MBH/MCM's, Imperial Officers, and Jack Thompson.

Bounty Carbine Specialization will be replaced with "Bounty Squeeze Specialization." This branch will give the following abilities:

Critical Hug: This will increase the chance of getting one of those REALLY great hugs. You know the ones. You'll remember this hug for days.

Group Hug: This ability allows you to gather anyone within 6m of your target into one giant hug. Higher levels include a "chain hugging" effect.

Bounty Pistol Specialization is now Cheek Hug Specialization. This is a lesser-known variation of the full-body hug, commonly used in cultures native to colder climates.

Undercheek Hug: The undercheek hug is a lunging hug, requiring excellent accuracy. The hugger ducks slightly, then rushes their target, lightly rubbing their cheek with the opposite cheek of the huggee. Improved version adds to the distance you may perform the hug from.

Confusion Hug: Most potential hugged individuals don't know to expect the cheek hug. This particular hug takes advantage of that surprise. It is a very close range hug, but more devastating corresponding to the toughness of the bounty.

Finally, Light Lightning Cannon Specialization is being replaced with a much more pertinent and immersive line: Singing Telegram Specialization.

Eye Catch: This ability is used to keep people who would rather just ignore you from doing so. Accompanied by balloons, stuffed animals, and holo-emotes galore at higher levels, it will keep everyone's eyes locked right where they should be: right on you.

Telegram: This root ability keeps the about-to-be-hugged person in place long enough to prepare your exact hug approach. High levels of the ability allow you to stun the opponent, dizzy them, and last much...much.......much longer.

I have more detail, of course, but I thought I'd put the idea out here so the devs can get to work on it tonight.

Next update will include my ideas for player-placable hug bounties, the Hug Ranking System, and my idea for the other new Light Side Profession: Snugglers.

maybe with these changes jedi will fight instead of running when they get their asses handed to them. running from a bh is bad, but running from a sissy tulip handing attacker might be enough to shame them into fighting. i wish i could make my droid pink and marshmellow currently though.

Bounty Huggers are NOT attackers. We are Cuddlers by Proxy.

But good question.
