From Marksman Correspondant, about the questions that where replied by the devs in Austin during betatesting the NGE:

"The reason they gave for the PC bounties were removed is that it promoted a bitter bitter rivalry between BHs and Jedi. I never was a Jedi, but having run BH missions I was upset to no end when I track somebody and find...a generic small house and tells respond with /afk message. Also they want the focus to be on the GCW and having parts of you population angry and upset they can't kill each other because the other is an exploiting **edit** doesn't really build a gameworld. So yes some people enjoyed that, but howmany people avoided teh BH/Jedi forums because of that."


So basicly the BH vs Jedi TEF where becouse Bounty Hunters and Jedi whined too much about killing eachother, and SoEwanted toGCW as the endgame instead of focusing on just 2 professions.

--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

It took them 2 **edit**ing years to realise that.


If you like the excitment of "casual PvP" or be "hunted". Go Special Forces and start jumping from planet to planet. You will get your excitement I assure you that.

Still think they could make it a choice. Put a may be hunted by bounty hunters checkbox in the control c screen. this way you can move in and out as you'd like. I accepted bh's as a part of being jedi a long long time ago. i was cool with it.

I personally like the idea of removing the profession conflict and reintroducing the GCW. I remember back when the battlefields were used to focus the GCW into a spot where the effectiveness of the battle could be measured. I love the ideas of moving the GCW into the cities.


I've accepted BH's trying to kill me, well because that was their job. Now I look forward to the good fight. Long live the rebellion!

honestly we all had to of known that it would eventually go away. The anomosity that the it caused was just not good for the game. Sure it was fun for bounty hunters and jedi alike, but way too many people found a way to abuse it on both sides. And I do agree going Special forces is exciting enough. I get a big thrill from doing it. Not too many special forces players on my server. Just last night i ran around for an hour before i found a red dot and it just popped up on me. It was fun and exciting even though i got pwned.






Too often players and the devs have a mindset that professions should be balanced with 1 on 1 pvp in mind. This mindset is ruining the game. The benchmark for balance should be determined by the role a profession plays in a group setting. As long as the current mindset continues we will never see uniqueness among the professions, nor will we ever see individuality within a given profession. We will never see the SWG universe expanded as the focus will only ever be balance pass after balance pass after balance pass.

Actually, it's a LOT MORE than just feeling the thrill of pvp.


It's about hunting a mark...nothing quite like the hunt of a real player.


Even as a Jedi, I enjoyed being hunted...added new flavor and content. And most all of my bhs (that hunted me) or Jedi that I hunted were pleasant to me.

Actually msnil, it was because of your carebear kind of PvE BS is what lead to the loss of player bounties, now that you've done that you and your pve groupies can loot in peace and all be 99.9% clone population of the game since jedi is a starter proff now, aren't you proud?! no risk ? now you and everyone can hold a LS without any BH Excitement or surprises.


Instead of nerfing our profession i.e BH why don't you purpose ideas such as when becomming a jedi you had a choice to be on the terminals or not...

No, it had to do with all the griefers among the BH population, the ones who did it just to grief, not to complete a mission.

And being able to hold a LS without some the annoyance of pesky BHs is going to be absolutely wonderful, look forward to it.
