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 tracking speed will increase. fficeffice" />



How is Player Jedi tracking?


Are the tracking speeds increasing as you increase in skill?

I have not tested it myself yet, but from reading the BH board, those that have are seeing that killing player Jedi via missions from the BH terminals is not yielding the promised credit bounty or yielding any investigation xp (0 credits and 0 xp for a kill).

I've heard the No Credits, No XP thing happening on our server.


I plan to test it out personally just as soon as some Chilastra Jedi crawl out of whatever hole they're hiding in

I have yet to see a Jedi mission on the terminals. The droids seem to be much faster. The problem that I've had is I can't track npc targets. It says my droids are working and waypoint updated but the target never moves. When I get to the waypoint there is nothing there. I've done 2 missions with the same result.

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

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?

Well the problem comes form a possible method for griefing. Becuase the BH has the mission and say a jedi gets DB'ed by some one else in his\her group (via GTEF), the BH could hang out at the cloning center (start the fight and as one part is fighting the jedi fly via speeder to the closest cloning center) with another portion of their group incap 3x the jedi repeatedly using GTEF to allow the other group members to attack the jedi repeatedly (as long as the BH is never incapped a group could do this to a jedi repeatedly). This would eventually cause a jedi to loose all skills.....and thus make them quit thegame in utter disgust form griefing (if a group was so immature to evendo this...but its possible from what I have been reading and there are certainly people who play this way).

Its an exploit that allows a BH to grief a Jedi and can perma kill them from a single mission by killing them three times. As far as I am concerned, even though I am not a Jedi yet, this should be a bannable exploit.
