They can easily put a AFK toggle to let you go AFK from BH only when not in battlewhere you can't be attacked by a BH. If you touch the keyboard or click mouse or execute a macroed commandit toggles off in such a way that you saw it toggle off.







Then you would see lots of jedis afk just to bug BH missions, and why cant you just logout? I havent seen your answer on that one, you dont lose anything if you do





i cant if i use /logout im not abile to enter again .. iahve to quit and reset game again( for me its min 5min )

I hate to say it butits your fault, don't go AFK when you are outside. BH's are not going to give up an easy kill.

All this things remeber me a good time when i was younger and playing FPS with some friends, in lan or over the internet

Some of us were specialized in the "chat boy kill" : when you wanted to say something, all controls were locked, and you couldnt not move until you finished your sentence.... Meanwhile, you could be attacked by almost anyone (mouse controls remained, meaning that a good players alaways managed to have all important keys set on mouse)

On a game i played, i remeber that there was a little chat bubble over the head of every guy that was currently typing to chat.... Meaning that anyone could see he could not answer fire
That was worse than without the little bubble and my friends took even more fun killing those guys.


It's quite the same here, as a jedi, you are in a situation where you can be attacked anytime anywhere by a BH. If you don't want to die in such a situation, you just don't go afk with your toon standing anywhere when a single synapse contact can help you beeing out of danger (house or logout...)
Or maybe you want that some players tell all the other ones how to play, what is lame, what is not, backtrack is forbidden, no sniper, HWrush is not fair, tech rush is forbidden, pyro shouldn't flame everyone, medic mustn't infect other attack team, etc etc etc....

Just play the same game than everybody else and try to learn from your mistakes instead of just frustrating your child that had nothing to do with that !

I had 4 accounts between me and my 3 kids that I cancelled because a BH AFK killed me. These have been the only times I have been killed by BH is AFK. Other players can get up and use the bathroom, answer the door, get a drink or do any number of real life things that take them away from the keyboard for a short period of time. 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.






I'd say either logout or go in a ship/house before you go AFK. All Jedi know not to go afk even those with cloak risk being killed (imagine the BH getting his friends to show up to drain your force, cloak is not the "I don't lose afk button")

There is a mechanism in place to keep you from
getting killed when you are afk, the Log Out button takes you to
the character select screen and its quick to get back in the game via
that screen. To those of you trolling and flaming just report the
post don't add to the drama.

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.








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.

Man, I seriously hope this is a bad joke. I mean come on... what kind of person leaves their jedi afk in a unsafe place unless they are afk grinding. And if you were grinding, then you was getting xp for not even playing any ways. You gotta look at risk v/s reward.


Yeah I hate dying and loosing xp, but no one (including the devs) ever makes you become a jedi... and that is one of the prices we pay to carry around our little glow sticks. Next time simply go afk in a safe place our find a safe place to log and /logoff.
