Thread: ANOTHER Idea about Perma-Death
Seriously, I know many of us wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if it didn't mean losing a character I've played for 2 years. Also Jedi are not the 1.5x stronger that people claim. Add in lag, LD kills, and bugs... I'm sorry to say you need to come up with a different solution.
I believe Tanks had a great thread going about a "Blue Glowey" system. Even seemed reasonable. If I remember correctly, once a Jedi gets killed by BH X amount of times instead of Permadeath, they would be Blue Glowey for a few days or weeks (not sure on time limit). As Blue Glowey they would only be able to be seen by other Jedi and could not affect the world in any realistic way. So no checking harvies, piloting ships, killin npc's, etc.. just cruising around able to chat in guildchat and the like.
More like a penalty box than a permadeath. Heck, I'm a Jedi and I'd support that. But take away the millions of credits, 2 pa halls full of stuff, 100+ badges and 2 years worth of gameplay... no way any reasonable person would agree to that. Also, if you weren't around back then, Jedi didn't have lots either. Your Main character never changed, he was never carrying a saber or using the force.
I commend you for actually saying that it should go both ways. But thats exactly why it won't happen. BH'ers who spent millions on Mandalorian Armor, ADK kits, and spiffey carbines would never let this happen.
They would leave the game, the Jedi would leave the game, and the community would take a major hit. Persaonlly, I think instead of blaming Jedi/BH for the hatred and constant complaining we should be placing it where it belongs. The Devs.
It's like watching Jerry Springer. The cheating boyfriend gets appluase then the 2 women fight each other instead of both teaming up and creaming the guy. Boggles the mind...

Let's entertain the notion for a moment though....
If it WERE to happen, it would have to be voluntary on BOTH sides. The Jedi would have to flip a setting in their control panel, or talk to a Jedi npc or something like that to sign on for something like this. They would have need to have the ability to sign off something like this too.
I think it's an interesting approach though.... I like the idea of having myself as a Bounty Hunter accountable for losing a mission against a Jedi.

Just think, you'll be able to kill off those pesky BHs
yeah its great idea, im worked a year for my jedi and when i got a client crash, huge lag, connection lost or an exploiter bh ill lost my toon. its ok, im kill the bh he/she just lose 2 days work. i love your idea....
keep it in your brain....
man some of you just dont have any constructive criticism do you. Just read it, say no and continue on.
This idea will NEVER be implimented, i mean, when was the last time SOE listend to anything we had to say from here?

Sorry but um... This idea sucks
im going to have to agree here. sorry soulcaster but not the best idea

Your logic is flawed. Any BH player will just create a new BH toon and be back in 5 days tops.
Furthermore, until you can reliably address the issues of load killing and LD killing (and of course preventing people from pulling their modems to appear LD when they are about to lose), dont even think about anything like perma death.
Some of you might think that this wouldn't give the BH 1st strike advantage...but it still does, since u dont know WHO has ur mission. Plus it would tip you off to the fact that Force PvP might be coming...and it will give u a chance to prepare for a possible final battle. (ie: get anything important off of u). This might eliviate "forced PvP"
This idea really sucks, come on. Any good full temp jedi can go toe to toe with a BH and most can escape at will, where a BH once he starts teh fight is in it till the end. Only way this will work is if BHs are made an alpha class, given a free unlock and made equal in power at all levels to Jedi, including if and when FRS comes back. Would have to have a BHRS so BHs could gain power and be able to compete. If those conditions were met it might be fun.
