- once on the Terminals, does it take 3 Weeks or 3 Days to fall of the terms again ? (i read both versions and am confused now)

- to fall off the terms, do you have to keep logged off, or just don't use any force / actions that make visivility ?

- if a BH had already got a mission on you, will he still have that mission after you have fallen off the terms ?

- if more the one BH has a mission on you, will all of their missions fail when the first one DBs you ? Or will they still be able to hunt you, even as you have falen off the terms because of the first BH ?


^^ most of them have been answered in various posts/threads, but with multiple opposing answers..

My comments in red as I understand them based on what the devs have said and what other people seem to have experienced:

I believe the devs stated quite clear that it will take 3 weeks to fully clear your visibility. However, some people have experienced it only taking a few days for them. This leads me to believe that the devs were talking about the situation where you have maximum visibility (if there is such a maximum).

- to fall off the terms, do you have to keep logged off, or just don't use any force / actions that make visivility ?

Your visibility decaysa little over time no matter what you are doing.

- if a BH had already got a mission on you, will he still have that mission after you have fallen off the terms ?

Very good question. It would make sense if it did. However, knowing that this would require specific coding to do so, I wouldn't count on it.

- if more the one BH has a mission on you, will all of their missions fail when the first one DBs you ? Or will they still be able to hunt you, even as you have falen off the terms because of the first BH ?

It is definately the intention that all missions on you should fail if killed by a BH holding your mission. However, people have reported that there are bugs with this. It seems that if a BH holding your mission is offline when you get killed, his mission may not fail as it should.

Do combat logs tell you if you have visibility?

VISIBILITY FAQ - VERSION 1.2 - MARCH 13, 2005

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I'm reading through the forums, I see SO many questions like these:

Does riding my bike with my sabre ignited give me vis?

Does using force absorb give me vis?

Does simply having my sabre equipped give me vis?

And more questions of the sort. Well, Jedi, this post will use answers from all the other posts of this nature and compile them to form a visibility FAQ.

FAQ will be directed in the obvious Question & Answer form, so here goes:

Do I get visibility for having my sabre equipped? Incorrect

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for having it equipped. You get 1/4 vis by same faction, 1/2 vis by neutral faction, and full by opposin faction.

Do I get visibility for equipping my sabre in public / around a NPC? Same as above.

You get a very small ammount, if done several times (over 25) you will be termed.

What is an NPC?

An NPC is a Humanoid (Non Player Character), these will givevis, but animals will not.

Do I get visibility for igniting my sabre in public / around an NPC? Incorrect, the only way your saber ignites is if you are in combat or use a force power.

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for igniting without blocking or using any jedi skills.

Do I get visibility for having my Padawan or Knight Robe equipped in public?

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for having the robe equipped.

Do I get visibility for equipping my Padawan or Knight Robe in public?

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for equipping your robe in public.

Do I get visibility forwearing or equipping my Jedi title in public?

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for equipping your tags.

Do I get visibility for being hit / blocking hits with Force Shield or Force Armor?

You get a good ammount of vis for each shot you block, as it does take force.

Do I get visibility for auto-attacking (no specials, just auto-retaliating to an attack) a target? Incorrect, you get vis by using your saber!

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for this, as long as you did not initiate combat.

Do I still get visibility if I kill the NPC who saw me do something?

You get even more vis for doing this. If an NPC sees you, run and hope he didn't.

Do I get visibility for doing my missions in front of a dead NPC?

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for this, dead guys don't make very good snitches .

Do I get visibility for performing in front my pet or droid?

You get 0 (ZERO) vis for this, however you will getvis in front of a NPC Faction Pet.

Do I get visibility for equipping my sabre in front of a group member?

You get full vis for this, although revisions have been sought to be made.

How does the residential visibility system work?

After you are tagged by a Bounty Hunter, you will be taken off the terminals or put on residential visibility (on the terms for 25k). Assuming you last without being tagged (if you have the res vis), you will be taken off the terminals in 3 days if you are a good little jedi. You get this residential visibility if your visibility is so high before you got tagged that you remain on even after you've died at the hands of a BH.

All Jedi get off the terms upon death, you only get residential visibility if you get rezzed with saber in hand.

Okay guys, that's it for now, version 1. If you know any questions that should be added, please post or PM me. And don't flame this thread, I'm just trying to help out the Jedi community and save some room/search time on the forums.

Good luck, Jedi, and may the force be with you.

Here's one I've been wondering about:

Do I get visibility for using Channel Force?

(Cause you don't use force when doing this)
