Well done! I was MBH for 6 months but dropped it. Maybe I go MBH again
Enjoy it as long as it lasts with all the Jedis complaining it might be pulled not long afterwards

I finally got a Jedi mission to show up on the terminal on Corbantis. In Kaadara, I got the bio signature. When I tried to use the Arakyd Probe Droid it said 'Your Target is not Online'. He is online. So the droids don't seem to work.

Tracking is fine, the group tef is not.


The current exploit is:


BH groups, finds jedi, Attacks and incaps the jedi. Jedi gets DB'ed not by the BH but by the group member, mission is still active.

ect. ect.


Another Version:



BH finds jedi, Attacks and incaps the jedi 3x. Jedi dies not by the BH but by the incaps, mission is still active.
BH finds jedi, Attacks and incaps the jedi 3x. Jedi dies not by the BH but by the incaps, mission is still active.

BH finds jedi, Attacks and incaps the jedi 3x. Jedi dies not by the BH but by the incaps, mission is still active.






In the same aspect, Jedi should not be able to group with anybody to Defeat Said BH.


Jedi are supposed to be in hiding and reclusive.


Grouping defeats their whole purpose in this timeline.

i dont even know what to say...

i guess for those of you who dont understand what is going on in those screenshots....thats my target (along with the other bh's that are around)


shes safe on a roof xploiting/cheating/whatever you want to call it for her jedi xp......her friend master doctor up there eventually came down and tried to defend her by telling hub-ja to shut up everyone hates him and things like that...then went on about how the jedi has 2 kids to take care of and goes between game and them...just trying to justify what was going on...even went and tried to say he didnt know he was doing anything but "dueling" ...


bah..not gonna run it into the ground..but its really a mood killer :/

I had a Jedi mission before Publish 7 was out, saved it for today.


Well, my arakyd and seeker found the Jedi. (Pretty quick too). But when i was at him, i couldnt attack him (im Neutral, he is a Rebel).


So we had to duel. DB-ed him, got the Money and XP.


Still a weird bug :S

robbed - if the mission is still active, whats the exploit? was cash or exp awarded when the jedi was killed in those examples?


if its not the bh that db's the jedi, then the missions should still be active - what am i missing?









The exploit is it's a game provided way to track another player and grief them into skill loss by abusing the group tef or the 3incap in 10min rules.


Something it sounds like you would do since you have to ask.

I agree.



From your own Rules of Conductpage on the main SWG website





1. You may not harass or threaten other players.


2. To expound upon the general guidelines, you may not harass other players.


Harassment is defined as specifically targeting another player or group of players to harm or inconvenience them. Harassment can take many forms, as it goes to the state-of-mind of the person or Squad on the receiving end of the action. However, in order to account for those who are more sensitive than others, the CSR involved will make a determination as to whether or not thereported issuewould be considered harassment and act accordingly.




No matter how you try to justify it, BH missions are nothing more than sanctioned harrassment of one class of players by another.

thanks for clearing that up for me evetsleep - and alluvia - what are you talking about - everyone knows what they are getting into when you become jedi - lets keep on topic.

It actually is worse if you have 2 BH's that both have the same mission target\jedi. Once leads a group out in the field while the other sits at the cloning center with his\her own group. I really do hope that no one does this, but because it is possible its bout to happen to some one (we all know that there are people who play SWG who will do this). I can see a 4/4/4/4 jedi go to 0/0/0/0 if this were to happen and while SOE would probably ban the offenders...id doubt they would give the skills back...thats what scares me...and I'm not a jedi....I just think that there needs to be some failsafe inplace to prevent this kind of griefing.


With that said......the hunt is on
