They showed up on the terms because they have gotten visibility. The way the BH system works is that when a jedi makes himself known he generates visibility. When that visibility becomes high enough they end up on the terms so that BH can hunt them. Hope this clarifies things for you.

The title says it all folks. Why in the world did they make it so that offline jedi still show up on the terminals. I added one jedi to my friends list this morning when I saw his mission and of course he was offline, along with 80-90% of the other marks. I kept him on my list all day and he never logged on but I kept seeing his mission over and over. I just do not see how this makes any sense at all. First off, this makes it so that jedi's who are online don't really ever come up on the terminals which is stupid because they are the ones out killing stuff and raising their visibility. Then they log off and THEN their mission ends up on the terminals. Is this how it's supposed to be? It took me a good 30-45 minutes earlier to find ONE persont that wasn't a 225k mission that was online. I really think this needs some adjustment. At least make it so it's about 50% offline and 50% online. Is this supposed to make our bounty hunting job harder? We go talk to our informant and when we try to track our mark we find out our target is offline. This is all completely ruined by the fact that we can just sit there at the terminal and /addfriend to see if the jedi is online or not. I don't see the purpose in putting offline jedi on the terminals, especially the ones who have not been online in more than 8 hours. Seriously, what the hell is the point of this? I see the SAME offline jedi OVER and OVER and OVER again, and it is a very rare occurence to find one that is actually online, at least on my server. I really think the dev's need to do something about this. I know there are more than 10 jedi on my server, but for some reason when I refresh the terminals it seems like I'm seeing the same 10-20 jedi over and over and over and over and over, and 95% or even all of them or offline. Why can't we just have a feature on the terminals to show only jedi or only NPC, and why in the world do offline jedi even come up?? I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!

Obviously it is an exploit if Jedi are offline. That must be why there's three separate posts about the topic.

wow you guys are f***ing as*holes. i just asked a f'king question jesus. i can tell that half you idiots didn't even read my post because your replies do not even make any sense. i didn't say how do jedi get on the terminals, i said why do they show up if they are offline? and no one even answered me, i guess you all don't even know why.


you can't tell me that you don't get annoyed when 20/20 jedi that you would like to hunt are offline but yet, their mission still pops up on the terminals constantly when they haven't been online in even 8 hours.


christ, you all need to learn some respect. i came in here asking a simple question, i didn't flame any of you for anything and you reply with a bunch of flames for no reason. if you all want to act like that then ok i'll do the same.

I disagree, however I must say that Billy Jean is not my lover. She's just a girl who says that I'm the one.


But that kid is not my son.

Yes, I hunt Jedi of my own faction. Why? Because Jedi are an enemy of the empire. That, and there's too many of them. Now leave me alone. My hunting doesn't apply to your standards.

It doesn't matter if the terms show offline Jedi. It's easy enough to stick the Jedi in your friend's list to check. It takes 2 seconds. Besides, sometimes you want to pick a mission on a specific Jedi who happens to be online so you can hunt him the next day. The frustrating thing is that the terms show Jedi who are AFK inside of private houses for hours. At the very least the terms should say how long a Jedi has been AFK, or even if he's in a private house.

lol wow, you have to be the laziest BH ever, you add them to your friends list and you still complain when they arent offline. I think they should take away all offline jedi, and only search for ones within 5m of you. When you get this mission the jedi should immediately fall down and get down to 1 health left with a depleted force bar. When you use your uber skills to DB him, you should be able to loot his corpse for all his credits and everything he ever owned. Then you should be given the option to boot him from the game never to play again and crown yourself king of uberness and dance on the clouds of naboo.

Blah, blah, blah. If sarcasim is all you got, it aint much.


Problem is there are reasonable complaints with his post and instead of arguing why he should not expect the terminals to show only online marks you chose to make a fool out of yourself.


Here is the answer to the problem if when you go to the terminals and see jedi names on the missions the add them to your friends list, if they are not online then don't take mission. This takes 2 secs tops, very easy.


Also if you after spending a max of 2min sending up a probe find that the target is on Kas and don't like or don't know how to hunt a jedi there then don't take it.


Wook Assault Armor = 180k


Probe droid = 1k

Finding that your target is on Kash and then going to BH forums to complain about it only then to be flaimed by idiots, adolesents and trolls = Priceless
