This latest BH was hitting me for 300 points of damage while I had no Auraor Valor running. This guy would never have a chance against me otherwise. I wouldn't mind the kill if it didn't damage my gear and cause me to loose 300K of XP.


There needs to be a mechanism to let me go AFK when not in battle to handle real life issue. So my 4 accounts were Station pass accounts. So I apply a $80 penalty to SWG for unbalanced game dynamics.


ps - my kids didn't play that much anyways since they have started school.






lol you nub, you know you can be killed when your afk so why do it?


And if you could of easily beaten him, then even more so the reason to kill you while your afk.


And if there was a AFK system, it would just be another cloak, stasis, run into the house - or i don't wanna fight button because i'm gonna loose button.


And its got nothing to do with "unbalanced game dynamics."


Be a bit more sensible

Your best bets are to have a house you can set down or /logout. My tactic is to set down a house and /logout that way when you come back your chances of finding a BH camping your logout point is minimal.


You have to realize these MMORPGs are filled with jerks like some foundin this very thread. If a BH sees you AFK sure they will attack. It is a rare honorable player who won't attack. The type to attack you while you are AFK are wimps to begin with so consider the source and cover your bases.

It's called /logout.


Since buffs, foods and whatnot not all persist beyond logging off, is there any reason in particular why you don't try it?

When XP loss is out there, an dyou are on the terms why the heck are you leaving yourself afk.


Look you left yourself AFK, thats your problem. You left yourself vulnerable.


If thats worth cancelling then you should don't have what it takes to play a game like this anyway.

This is equivalent of dueling someone, then going afk and complaining about being killed in the duel. Understand the system and work within it.

You guys are apathetic and have no consideration at all. He made mistake and you guys have nothing else better to do, but flame him to death. You guys should give him a break, because if it happed to 1 of you guys, you would whine also. This board and Jedi community is crap, nothing in here but a bunch of aggravated flamers that are mad at the world. If you are at the pissed off at the Dev's and game, quit. This is suppose to be a place where people can come on ask questions etc.

Good riddance.


If this has happened multiple times, I suggest you study learning from experience, the kind of experience you can't grind - ooo shoo, challenge? Bummer.

I always find it funny that people have this misguided notion that bounty hunters are supposed to be honorable. As far as u going AFK in a public place where u can be killed? Well. Everyone else has already said it. Get over it.





Regardless there are people behind the keybaord who have honor. I have met plenty of players who play BH who have honor. One in particular even tips his mark credits for speeders he may have destroyed. The point I was making to the OP is that he needs to watch his back and not expect the kindly BH. BTW don't put words in my mouth. I did not say they were supposed to have Honor. I said it was RARE.






In this case, I assume honor replaces mathematical intelligence.

If you have played long enough to become a honorable jedi, I'm sure you have familarized yourself with /logout (hell, you even mentioned it) and it's 30 second timer. If this command is too hard a challenge to use, there's another command (a button really) that you can access from the launchpad, called "Cancel subscription". This button will end all your horrors and you can go chat on aim with honorable chitchatters for hours on and on.


Jedi who go afk instead of logging out and then proceeds to whine about getting killed are one of three things:


  • Ebay-lot

  • Rryatt-kiddie

  • Heavily intellectuallychallenged

It's not my intend to flame here, I simply wish for you to understand basic game mechanics.


I find absent guardians of peace to be dishonorable.
