Thread: A Troll Speaks
I'll be dropping MBH and moving along to greener pastures, to become a JEDI TROLL . MBH has been gimped by the inability to find the Jedi name in a timely fashion. Yes BH will indeed be able to kill their Marks and i'm not in the least bit afraid of tangling with the full templates randomly, because I know they can be soloed, I just don't think the new system will bring the fun factor of MBH anywhere near what it is now.I'll never be a Jedi because I do not want to.

I'm fine with Publish 20. As long as they give us the name sometime before we get within 1500m of our mark. Publish 20 is great EXCEPT for that one problem and if the devs would communicate with us and tell us that they are reading our concerns then that would cut down the complaining 100 fold.

Publish 20 could be handled better i think... the names need to be given at some point in the mission process or the Kashyyk issue becomes a huge safe haven for Jedi. The LOS bugs are nothing new, hopefully they'll be ironed out as they affect everyone, not just on Kash either.
I'm of mixed feelings on the MBH required to hunt player Jedi. Its good in the respect that MBH finally means something, but bad in that it limits a BHs choice of templates.
In fact I'll go out on a limb and go so far as to say the big problem with the profession is it has become the ultimate addon for ranged folks, not a whole lot has to do with actual bounty hunting. MBH should be deadly against Jedi and SUCK for other reasons. then the devs could balance it against Jedi and make the two classes much more interesting to deal with in the bounty system.

Not having names revealed at some point of the mission process is just poor thought process by the devs. The Kashyyk issue with seekers is simply a problem that the devs feel would take entirely too much effort to fix, and if history proves to repeat itself any attempt to fix this would probably break seekers for at least 3 publishes to follow.
I think the issues with the seekers on Kashyyk are such that: (1) The Devs don't want to spend time fixing the problem, and (2) The Devs actually want the droids to not work on Kashyyk because they know full well that 90% of SWG subscribers have a Jedi character ... and that by making Kashyyk a Jedi safezone, they're ensuring that those 90% subscribers who are Jedi go out and buy the expansion for $25 so that they can grind in safety.
It actually makes financial sense for them not to fix Kashyyk droids. They save development time, which can easily add up to thousands of dollars since they can use those Dev resources to work on the next expansion; and they virtually ensure that 90% of the playerbase will buy the RotW expansion, which is a lot of money.
It's a win-win situation foreverybody (except bounty hunters).

This is possibly THE best reason as to why everything happens. It's a great point. I think everyone should be like this. I think this might just save SWG from the cold hands of death.
