If you really want to diminish the current interest in Jedi bounties - go help the smugglers put together a solid revamp proposal and viable player bounty system.


Considering that many, many, many smugglers actually want to be hunted, I'd think the very day such a system went live, all the Jedi would find themselves wondering where all the Bounty Hunters went. (C;


And no... I'm not being sarcastic. I'd much rather hunt a smuggler - aprticularly one who was aligned with an opposing 'underground/ criminal' faction - *cough* Hutts/ Blacksun *cough

Good luck, they haven't listened to us for 2 years. Maybe if enough Jedi start moaning on the smuggler boards they will listen though

They can go overt. I, for one, do NOT want to be hunted on my smuggler. Player bounties should only happen on a purely voluntary basis, not drivin by "OMG, I get better loot if I get on the terminals." Just make a place where people that want to sign up to be hunted can. Simple.

WHY??? What "deal" has to be made with BH's for the player bounties to be turned off? What deal were we offered to have our FRS turned off?


Even without player bounties...with the high end loot from the NPC Boss bounties, the BH profession STILL has MASSIVELY more content than any other profession in the game....

You havnt noted that nerfing Jedi or Bounty Hunters seem to have the highest priority in every publish?


This happens when you have forced pvp. We dont needMORE of it.


With the current state of Jedi we are likely to see a Jedi revamp before a Smuggler revamp. Greatest reason? Becousethe BH vs Jedi system we have live, the issues need to be fixed at once. If there where no BH system, it wouldnt be high priority anymore.




Besides that, I also have an annoying sig that looks like part of the post.

I'm curious why so many of the post CU Jedi are scared to death of BH, yet most of the older Jedi I face welcome the fight and realize that it is the best content in the game for both sides.


It's selfish players like you that get this game nerfed into oblivion. Our professions are interdependant on each other. Also, it's not very cool to gloat about another professions nerf.


I too hope for Smuggler missions, maybe they won't cry as much as these nub Jedi do.

duh, pre cu jedi have decent sabers. post cu have crap. where have you been the last few months?

jedi was the purvey of the powergamer / pvp type for a while, now more and more normal non pvp types are jedi. that's why. the jedi players have changed. jedi has changed, forced pvp is not what a lot of us want.

I've been beaten by plenty of post cu Jedi too, it's not just the sabers. Granted they are very nice though.
So, since that is your reasoning...If you had a pre-cu saber, you wouldn't mind the forced PvP then?
If you bother to learn to play your profession (like you have to do in every other non button mashing game), 99% of BH wouldn't be a problem for you.

I would pay to have my smuggler get on the terms. Id have to grind a different template to stand a chance but thats cool. Jedi are lucky to be hunted. Those of us who realize SWG has no endgame can see this.

Who said anything about needing to make a deal?


I'm just telling you that most of us (Bounty Hunters) are not really interested in you guys. At all - aside from the fact that it can be lucrative.


I'm more interested in hunting smugglers because a) it's cannonical! b) many smugglers WANT to be involved in such a system and c) I don't care about Jedi.


If smuggler bounties were introduced, you'd have little need to convince the powers that be - you kow, the ones who intentionally and deliberately instated the Jedi boutny system in the first place? yeah, that would be them- to remove the Jedi bounties because I'd wager most Bounty Hunters would loose all interest in you. Immediately.


I also never said it should be forced PvP either. I swear, every time a publish comes out, average reading comprehension drops off the chart.


Please go visit dictionary.com and look up viable.


VIABLE would imply, IMO, a voluntary system - i.e. certain actions a smuggler can willingly and knowlingly undertake that could (not necessarily automatically WILL) land them on the bounty terminals. Viable, for a standard profession (not one a player unlocks knowing full well the probability of landing on the terminals and losing experience as a result of being bested by a Bounty Hunter) implies CHOICE.


A smuggler would have to DO something to land on the terminals, rather than his mere existance being a direct affront to the Empire - which is precisely what Jedi are supposed to be and precisely why we have a player bounty system for Jedi - as designed from the beginning.


If you could actually be bothered to think things through before running off at the mout all half cocked, you'd quickly realize that the implementation of such a system would require significant content additions to the smuggler - namely, smuggling. *GASP*


Don't want to be on the terms? Run your mission and don't p*ss off your employer.


WANT to end up on the terms? /dump your cargo at the first sign of an Imperial freighter, or steal it and sell to someone else instead of the intended recipient. The possibilities for such a system are endless.


What about such systems strikes anyone as involuntary?


Oh. Right. I forgot where I was. =\

I have been around since early 2004 and was not beaten up as a kid. So I have no aggressions that I have to take out in a videogame. Post-CU or Pre-CU doesnt matter. Someof us where not born in a barbarian tribe and feel no need to "show off" our brawns in front of our virtual friends to feel proud over ourselves.


The BH and Jedi system have the greatest priority in every silly publish, so the best "fix" for everybody, is to turn off the terminals.




Besides that, I also have an annoying sig that looks like part of the post.
