We've gone from an army of generals (all Jedi) to an army of MBH. SOE can't get it right, they never learned portion control. They go from one extreme to another. The first game online that keeps everyones interest and does not set players against eachother in bitter fueds will rule the net. Plain and simple.

Odds are it will not be SOE. I tried EQ today, the toon creation and entry into the game was so annoying I gave up.

Fixed. devs have made BH so powerful I can't even laugh at SOE anymore, not with pride anyway. In an insane and upset way, yes. But with pride? Never again.

Insanely powerful? So you're not fighting a master marksmen master scout anymore. Deal with it. There are far better templates out there that don't consist of MBH. Least your Jedi profession doesn't take a whole line of ZERO combat mods to master.

I don't know about the whole player bounty thing.


As it stands, Bounty hunter is one of the best and powerful non-jedi proffessions (the statistics don't lie either... its the most played non FS/jedi class there is)



Because they are intended to fight jedi, they get some of the best combat abilities available.


They have the unique content draw of being able to hunt player targets.


They have exclusive access to some of the best loot in the game through NPC boss marks.



As it stands the GCW is dead, and most people are going BH to gain one or more of these perks.



Now ifyou were toopen up the hunting field to include other proffessions and youre going to give them even more dominance. Remember theyre built for fighting jedi... and there are many out there who can solo full templates consistantly. Dont tell me theres any smuggler or entertainer build that would even stand a chance against these guys (well, maybe smuggler/BH). Yeah you may find it fun/satisfying to slaughter that cl 1 dancer because she missed a payment on her speeder, but it's not going to be fun for her.


Bottom line is, BHs already have more unique content then just about every other class. Extending their ability to hunt other classes beyond jedi is silly and wont be healthy for the overall community. At least jedi have a good chance of SURVIVAL regardless of how much damage their saber does if they learn the tricks of the trade and forget this fight to the death junk. Player bounties should stay as is.

As a personal edit... maybe smuggler bounties wouldnt be SO bad so long as the proffession gets some performance boosts so they can survive better to fight/escape a BH attack.



And that would make the smuggler community happier for sure.

Get rid of respec BHes. Oh wait! That will effect Jedi alts.


How about bringing the old investigation exp grind back to get to MBH? If you think the Jedi grind is bad, try the old investigation system and tell me how bad it is. I grind out a new master BH template almost every week. Most times I do 2 professions just to keep things fresh. Getting exp is easy...Now that old investigation grind from release day...now THAT was punishment. Reason enough I've never dropped MBH. Sure, the new system is a cakewalk, but I'll be damned if I'm reminded of that past punishment and I doubt many of these new guys or alts would think its worth it enough for a loot bot.

is this where someone suggest the " Jedi Avenger" role that allows Jedi to hunt overly succesfull BH's?

BH is the best package in the game right now, tons of offense, tons of defence, exclusive access to the best loot table in the game, an entire PvP/mission system devoted to them,ya more content is exactly what they need.


...and as to how usefull the scout line is, not my fault you don't use all your tools. Try attacking a mark while masked in hostile MOB turf. Chances are the mark just pulls agro all over itself. Same with TN, w/o itI'd never be able to solo an ancient ( which I can't do on my Jedi, but can do all night long on my carbs/bh)
