Thread: Bounty Hunter Exploit Questions

Answer the question: When would a jedi would have to clone who has a doctor for an alternate character?
Thank you. And if they never have to clone, which is part of the game, they are using a loop hole and are actually the ones who not playing the game fairly. I've already explained why it mattered. I'll try again... I'm playing Star Wars. I'm a Rebel. Rebels do not like Imperials. By hurting the Imperial characters it is helping my team win the game.

And it is the BHs job to make us lose the 30k, which is totally cool. Corpse camping us and making us clone is not your job, however. Your job ends when you get payed.
Forgive me if i'm wrong, but someone said that BH's do not get paid until the Jedi clones.

I think you may be referring to my post. If so thats not what I meant, what I mean is that it would be ok corpse camp IF the bounty was not paid until the mark cloned. The way it is now the BH gets his payout as soon as the Jedi is incapped. Thus corpse camping, although allowed by game mechanics, is considered an exploit.
I agree its "Mean" but not an exploit or a bannable offense. We other players used to be able to get ganked by Jedi's camping the factional bases when they needed to kill us to go up the FRS. That of course has changed, but nonetheless Jedi were not being warned/banned for doing it.
There is an inate bias/favortism from the Devs towards the Jedi. Why? I don't know, but at the same time its not the players fault so punishing them will do nothing more than bring forth more Dev attention and thus more distain. Solution, let it die, ignore the Jedi, stop complaining about them, stop defending or promoting actions to make a Jedi's life harder and most imporant of all STOP GLORIFYING the Jedi. They have done nothing special besides grind.
I'm not against Jedi. I'm against ONE SINGLE SOLITARY group recieving unlimited dev attention while other professions are left to be useless. I mean honestly, in a Star Wars universe I have no ranged skills at all, all melee and I could woopa carbineers arse if I wanted to????

No.. not incapped. They get payed when the Jedi is Deathblowed.. but corpse camping.
And it is an exploit. They are keeping the MISSION TEF after they HAVE COMPLETED THE MISSION. That is why corpse camping a Jedi bounty gets people warned, moved, and sometimes Jedi rezzed in compensation.
If the developers thought that jedi should never have to clone, then that wouldn't even be an option. And if they thought it was a bug and they had 1000 jedi sending reports everyday about bounty hunter using this "bug" as an exploit... then I'd think they would have fixed it by now or publicly addressed it. As a matter of fact, I am doing them a service by making the jedi grind longer and paying for more months.
If you don't want to get killed by a bounty hunter, then don't be a jedi or try being smart with your jedi.

What a person chooses to do with that second toon is up to them. If they want a doctor for an alt so they can rez their jedi every time they die, well that just makes sense, and you really can't blame them for that, if anything blame the devs for allowing it.Second, there just isn't a risk in it for the Bounty Hunter. Being someone who believes in fair play I can definately understand wanting to help your side in every way you can. If you roleplay and are involved in the GCW then it is necessary to see the person you are hunting as the enemy, and as such you would do anything to hinder their progress. However as such it just didn't make sense to me that there was no penalty if I took a mission to kill a player jedi and they instead killed me. It was here that I started to understand more of the jede's point of view in all of this. If I was a bounty hunter, hired by someone to hunt down and kill someone, and I was instead killed by them, then I have failed my mission. It would also make it harder for me to get future work as a bounty hunter if I had developed a reputation for my marks killing me. Now imagine if every time you died you lost 30k Investigation XP, and every time you cloned you lost 200k Investigation XP. You would probably do anything possible to avoid the clone, including self ezing.Basicly, the system is a little screwed up. By bugs or by intention is debateable, but either way there is far too much arguing going on for anyone to say it is working correctly.
Good Post.
What you said about the bounty hunter having no risk is completely true. I think It is an intereting idea to have the bounty hunter lose investigation points for dieing on the bounty. As a roleplayer I do find it important to try to hurt my enemies, but what I am truely after by sticking near the jedi's corpse is money. I usually offer 200-250k for me to walk away, which I feel is very reasonable. Bounty hunting does not make any money so I need to do something. The problem is they won't pay that small amount of money, and indstead accuse me of being a cheater. I only want them to not like me enough to pay me, I don't honestly want to enrage fellow SWQ players all day.
