Hello fellow Bounty Hunters. I started playing SWG June 28, 2003. Been about 2 1/2 years playing SWGand wanted to share some memories about how the game and bounty hunter has evolved, please post something you remember that we can laugh at or go, yeah i remember that.
Do you remember.........
1. Novice BH required to be a Master Marksman and Master Scout.
2. bringing a rancor with novice CH skills to do a Novice BH mission.
3. there was no 30 secondKD timer.
4.ifu didnt have a pet youwould use bleeding shot, run away, wait tilyour mark bled to death.
5. there were no vehicles, and shuttle waits were ten minutes. chasing marks on foot or waiting til they got to a city.
6 novice marks could kill you in a few shots.
7. Using a carbine would incap yourself.
8. Getting a stun pistol and eyeshotting someone to death in PVP.
7. ALL jedi started out as rebels
9. BH TEFs didnt work on jedi so you had to join the empire so you can get a "Saber TEF" in order to attack.
10. All jedi wore 80 percent composite and grinded on Endor or Yavin.
11. Publish 9, 85 percent saber block and the rise of the TKA BH.
12. trying the Melee BH and hating it cause its so not star warsy.
13. Knockdown Dizzy combos ( i have fallen and can't get up)!
14. Jedi that can force run 3, runpast your swoop bike and hit you at full power.
15. the first time you used a bomb droid on an AFK jedi in cantinaand Laughed your a$$ off.
16. You can ride your mount and shoot default attacks (basic ranged) at jedi swimming in lakes.
17. when droids never worked on jedi and had to take Tracking 4 from ranger to find your mark.
18. lightning cannon sucked due to low mods and damage was weaker than a pistol.
19. fighting a full template jedi with a stun baton(never myself but watched another BH do this)
20. A jedi using smuggler's feign death before you even got a shot off.
Some of the memories i have for the past few years. Please feel free to add your own BH memories.

Don't remember BH marks being very tough back then...unless you're talking about actually finding one at its waypoint and above ground/targettable.
Lol Carbines! I had a friend who was Carbineer/Ranger/SL stuff at release. Boy was he pissed.
Suppose you remember all of the people in Anchorhead Pistolwhipping each other over and over. Always thought that was funny.
Eyeshot? Haha...as MBH back then...I pwned those eyeshot spamming nublets.

When the game was like only a month old. Once you got your master marksman and master scout done you had to grind 40k of combat exp. Which was rather challenging since the armor and weopons were so under par at that time. Best armor i could buy was mabari and it didnt have many resists. Composite didnt even exist yet since there we not many master armorsmiths that could make it. Chitin was popular if you knew someone you could buy it from.
When you got the novice box in Bounty Hunter, the marks where hellishly hard. Some could use fan shot and hit you for over 900 points of damage. That was alot since you fought unbuffed due to lack of master doctors. i mean everything was new and unavailable at the time.
Before the first publish creature handlers could have tons of high levelpets out and many BHs become CH so they had a pet to tank the mark while you stayed back with your pee shooter and tried to hit the mark.
With your unbuffed 1k ham, compared to a 10kHAM mark, your specials killing you just as fast as your mark could kill you, it was rough days then. Bleedshot, underhand shot, send in pet. Lightning cannon tree was useless cause the weopon has really low damage output. Carbs and pistols were you friends. You died alot from BH missions if you had an attackable mark.
There were no droid engineers that could make BH droids yet and we all had to buy them from temporary npc droid vendors til the servers could self-support itself.
Long ago memories, so much has changed for the better.

Seen or done all of the above on my MBH grind ... then ... 2 missions from finishing they put in the update that doubled Investigation exp ... the only bonus I got was that last bit took me1 mission instead of 2. 
Also remember being dropped like a rag doll by a pistoleer/rifleman/TKA due to their bugged defence stacking....

Some stuf has changed for the better, not everything saddly though.
I am glad I don't nearly kill myself trying to use a carbine special any more, though I do miss the Old template Pre Cu, of MM,MS,& MBH + (something else) (usualy medic)
Unfortunaltey that mix doesn't pull much weight now days.

I remember traveling to Tatooine with a CH friend so he could tame me one of those Rock Beetles. That helped out alot on the tankage. My guild Armorsmith was the first Master on the server. She cooked me up some sweet composite armor....second set had like almost 80% resist with nice HAM stats. Man that made missions so much easier. MBH/Novice Medic I think I was....with some Ranger too? So long ago.
EDIT:
Better yet, I remember having a NEED to group a scout and dancer for regular mission hunting groups. Don't ever see a camp now.

I was 4440 BH, 0400 carbineer,somepistoleer, and some medic.Then when the jedi scourge arrived, i switchedfrom pistoleer skillsto 0040 ranger for the player tracking.
Took 217 skiilpoints for master bounty hunter, pub 9 reduced it to MM and 4000 scout but still just was never worth to master til the CU, although i did master it before the CU before but dropped it in favor of a more useful template.
