Personally. I think there should be a penatly for dieing for EVERY profession. In MOST if not all RPGS that i have played and other games, there is always an experience loss for dieing. I know SWG has the whole armor decay penatly while dieing but i think people should lose exp when dieing too. Even if its small like $100k exp lost, or something like $450k exp lost, i think there should be a penalty for dieing for all professions not just jedi. But if SOE did impliment this, then there would probably have to be a more severe penalty loss for dead jedi.


And everyone has already said this, but BHs and Jedi should get tokens/items that shows proof of their victory over the other. The BHs should get a mock lightsaber and the Jedi should get a mock Boba Fett helmet or something. Think it would be cool to display in the houses or GHs =)

God people are retarded, please smite this idiot!


BH's don't lose xp because they aren't EXTREMELY over populated alpha classes?

QFE.


Sure, you can put in the penalties when BH are designed to be able to take Jedi in a 1 on 1 fight, are 1.5x more powerful than regular characters so that we also can unbalance the GCW and PvE content, get the ability to craft our own ub3r Mandalorian Armor with our novice box and receive a second character slot.


There are BH missions on Jedi to discourage everyone from being a Jedi. XP loss from BH missions is the replacement for permadeath and saber tef(and a very poor one at that).





No decay + uber loot = /spit on crafters

Fix the economy and give crafters their $$$ worth... give us real revamp.

Remember... to Cancel you have to go to Register Expansion in the Launchpad.

Why not turn it the other way around?


Ìnstead of penalizing the hunter, why not reward the jedi?



So, if the Jedi defeat the bountyhunter, he is awarded the possible xp loss instead? Kind of balances it out in the long run.


You win some, you loose some.



But since there really arent any advantages to being a jedi, there shouldnt be those huge disadvantages it has today with xp loss..

QFT.


Also, how does it make sense that the Jedi get the payout? For example, because Han won against Greedo, would Jabba give Han the bounty that was on him? It's insane.


Plus, it's improperly scaled. Why give a full-template (who should win most of the time) more money than an incomplete temp (which would lose most of the time) for the same feat? In all fairness, the full-temp would need to get less because it has less risk.


Bad idea anyway, though.

nah can't gain exp to easy to exploit with BH alts.


Best idea ive ever read was that they take exp loss out of the game all together and instead jedi gets blue glowing for 24 hours. Which means no fighting no travel no nothing. All ya can do is float around and talk to people about why your blue glowy.


There could be different times for blue glowing like finished temp be 24 hours some new jedi with nothing but novice boxes it could be like 5 hours or something like that.

Humm, how about this then



If a bh looses, when he clones he's now the proud owner of a cheap cybernetic limb, after all, we are swinging a weapon that supposedly can cut through anything.


And, in order to get his real limb restored, he has to pay a comprable price to the bounty he would have received if he had won. Also, if it was an elite cybernetic limb that was chopped off, then that limb is gone for good and he gets the cheap replacement cyber limb.

What about if the Jedi loses, he can only lose XP once in a 7 day period (or he comes off the terms for 7 days)? That is more then enough time to grind out the xp loss. Thus, when I do lose to the BH, he's less motivated to go look for me again right away. And I know you don't come off the terms always after dying. I was killed by the same BH twice in less then 18 hours. I don't care if the BH is punished or not for dying, just think my loss of XP should be limited by time...since my "escape move" now has a snare attached to it.

Sorry to say this, but there's a reason that you're hunted so quickly again. XP loss is fine as it is and any reduction in it will only take away even more of the jedi's remaining power.

I dont think the BH being forced to get a cheap bio limb would be a good idea but do think the BH should have massive wounds to show for their failed attempt
