Thread: IT- 7-15: Bounty Hunter Jedi Tracking Missions
Now, Bounty Hunters can track player Jedi in the same manner as their NPC targets. Bounty Hunters can get a mission from the bounty hunter terminal for a player Jedi. Go to your contact to get the bio-signature. Then just use your seeker/probot droid to find your target. Keep in mind that unlike the NPC targets, players will move around unpredictably. (As a result, the location updates can lag behind a couple of minutes.) Additionally, Bounty Hunter tracking speeds have been fixed and now as the hunter increases in skill, the speed skill will increase.
We're a little shy on TC Jedi for the moment, but early reports show the tracking responses to arakyd probe are working well.
What are your experiences with the Tracking Speeds and droid response?

Woot!
Thanks TH and especially thanks to Tanks for your persistence in getting this fix for the bh community.
Sorry TH , couldn't help my enthusiasm ealier...
Everyone , this is a testing thread, so if you find bugs or issues with the bh droids I think TH wants us to post it in this thread.

Excellent fix.
I truly truly hope you've also fixed that 10 bounty hunters can take a contract on the same Jedi, but that Jedi being killed by any of the ten leaves him on the mission list of the other 9 (so he could actually be cloning center camped, or rack up 10 deaths (or 20 if he goes linkdead during them), for one visibility breach).

TH, you need to get your lingo straight. BH's use arakyd probe droids, not probot droids, in tracking marks...
My bad - - you know how I get in the early AM
(thanks 
)
(but yeah, please, lets stick to bugs and performance related comments. Thanks.)

Yes; many thanks to Tanks for his patience, positive attitude and stick-to-it-ivness. Game development takes a while but I'm happy to see you guys are pleased - - that was the goal

TH, is there a possibility of getting together with Tanks, or another BH on TC to test the jedi tracking ability. This is something that us BH's are really anticipating in this patch.
It's tricky but we're working on it now. Also, my "magic dev powers" super-hero ring came in the mail, so I'll be able to go out with the correspondents on Test Center so we can share first hand information on issues. This is something we talked about a while back and now we can follow through.

As I understand it, NPC Jedi missions were always available

that is not correct. NPC jedi missions have never been available, and are not available now.

TH, the mission difficulty stops at investigation 3 ... Tanks bugged it though , because he was led to believe that harder NPC missions would be at MBH with a payout increase too.
Fact is level 31 or 32 is tops, Those marks die to a MBH in 10 seconds or less. Even those bh's who haven't mastered bh feel they are wimpstoo.
So, right now there are no Jedi NPC missions available to BH. I hope you can talk to tanks and the dev team to change it though.
What are your experiences with the Tracking Speeds and droid response?
