My friend had 2 BH's on him. I think he just got unlucky though. He was fighting the one BH for like 20 mins and then another BH showed up. 
I helped him escape though, we took off on the Corvette, then he logged off there.

Jedi are weak nowadays. Especially the poor Jedi with crappy pearls. They have trouble with a single BH nevermind 2+.

Because if its 2 Bounty Hunters with Master Combat Medic and they know what they are doing you will not win. A 0% win chance is just plain unfair to jedi. I'm sorry someone actually had to spell it out for you.

point taken, thought I thnk the complaint is that they are attacking as a team, not one on one PvP. I got a great surprised Friday night. I logged onto my jedi for the first time in a week and within 20mins a BH came for me. So much for missions decaying, also isn't there supposed to be a 3day decay on visibility too?? I am not wearing robes and only equp saber when it's time to fight. Heck, I don't even run macros anymore trying to get around the "vis" issues.

Jedi need to expect to be hunted by more BH's. BH is one of the most popular professions.Jedi should expect more attacks. I Fought one on Tat at Eisley and then went to grind on Dant. THe second BH just missed me on Tat and found me on Dant. First BH, Iwon, Second BH was a draw. This was in about a 15-20 min time peroid. Andif you are a late night grinder, get expected to be hit more as your name will be on the terms more.
Just remember to try and avoid vis. If that means you have to attack a den becuase Mokks are next to you, then skip that mission. For those of you who do not use food, I would start. Its a must. Lastly, If you are getting attacked by a BH, try to use your surroundings to you advantage. Drive them into a high lvl agro that will help you take em out. Stay neer things that will pack attack if they attacked. I ran a BH into LvL 80 NPC's who attacked him and was the reason I won the fight.

A BH can hold your mission for 3 days
And supposingly vis will decay after 3 weeks but not sure about this and definatly dont rely on it.

its simple for them to find a mission to group on now. Which of course is ridiculous as the whole point of the changes to mission terms was to avoid this. Once again SOE wastes time and energy on something and the players find a way around it.
All they have to do is find the same payout mission and go together. The odds are its the same mark in most cases. Ive been getting 2 man teams all week coming for me.

My questions would be. If a player is getting killed and brought right back up on the terms within minutes. where is When your dead the missions drop. seems to me that its not happening. I know a friend has lost 1 mil xp in just a couple days.
Any ideas?

There is actually a way to find a certain Jedi at the BH terminal. I am not going to share it but lets just say it involves putting two and two together.

Also seeing now the lightsaber is a energy weapon well bh getting armor high resist to energy then to top it off it is getting sliced to reduce any chance of a Jedi using armor break. Now that BH's do not require all the points that it used to they are mixing it up with CM. Last night lost to a BH on bloodfin server from FIGHT. His name was Condor and lets just say he got extremely poison happy then fire happy and topped it off with a crap load of roots and KD's. Now I was using my best saber with high end pearls and a Bane's heart crystal in it. I am also almost master defender and was wearing bio clothe pushing my defenses over 200. Was interesting to watch him land hit after hit as if I had no defense and I could barely even scratch himDon't believe the crap SOE shovels. The intent post CU is to thin out Jedi population by causing them to just quit the game or play alts. This is why they will not fix the pearls and why the FRS was removed till expansion comes out forcing us to purchase it to progress any further in the Jedi profession so get ready to pay to be a Jedi.
Sounds like a bit of a conspiracy theory, except that it would also appear to be true. Alas, they WANT jedi in game to boost sales (at least 40% of the clips in each of the television ads that I've seen have been jedi), BUT they don't "want" jedi in game due to the complaints by nearly every other profession.
What is the solution? Surely, the longer grind wasn't enough (no matter HOW fast anyone can do it, it turns out to be 35 times MORE grinding than it took to get that first double mastery 'elite' template). So the complaints of "you can get from initiate to full temp in two weeks" mean little since the same power grinder can do the elite templates in a day or so.
The solution wasn't merely making jedi suffer skill or XP loss since many have persisted in their grinds.
The solution it would appear is all of the above PLUS making jedi an unpalatable experience. Make the jedi weak, perhaps even weaker than the games other templates, make them a hunted player (forced PvP), make them the only one that loses anything and make the XP losses really hurt. Make it so that IF the FRS comes back online the jedi MUST be permanently overt, only gets credit for kills against each other/MBHs but experiences skill loss with death to ANYONE.
Make the FRS spots limited and easily exploitable with "fight clubbing" to make it so that only certain people are viable in PvP. Then make THAT impossible to compete with by removing the crystals that are required to compete from the game.
Sounds like a recipe for "win/win" on SoE's part.

i wish they would hunt me, too bad the BH terminals aren't "Opt In" so you could add a little "Please Hunt Me" note to your missions lol. 8 weeks of full template, only 1 BH came to hunt me and all they were was MBH, CL 60 or something like that lol

Hey wicked if you really want to be hunted just go wack alot of NPCs that will give you enough visibility especially now the BH teams have figured out the new terminal system and can hunt in teams again.
