Thread: By far, the absolute best post I've seen in a long time.....

i certainly like the idea because it caters for all players type.
having read some of the replies I would change only one thing, the BH doesn't need to be SF to hunt aSF jedi because the moment he picks the SF Jedi mission he becomes PvP enabled only to that target (as it already stands). This keeps the BH protected in his 1v1 battle.

Are you aware of the MEGA-CODING needed for NPCs to be able to hunt players ? Can you imagine the complexity ?
I'm sure with the time spent for that, they can fix the core game.
Use the existing Sith-Shadows 1st visit code, change the combal lvl of the NPC, appropriate HAM and weapons, and implement the New NPC AI they are talking about to make it a decent fight. Complexity....sorry mate but i'll disagree with you on this one.

Can't be ANY more complex than the Old Man coding, when he appears at random when you have enough prestige to become "glowy"... Change the "glowy" to Viz Level, and the Old Man to a level 100 Bounty Hunter, and there ya go. It's already in place that the Old Man only interacts with the person he appears for, so the same can easily be applied to the BH, but instead of saying "Howdy, got a crystal for ya." He says "Die Jedi scum!!!" And opens fire.
You want them to spawn a level 90+ you can't run away from? You fancy having a BH with necro's skill attacking you and stealing XP?
You can't pay off an NPC

I am extremely sure I am oversimplifying, but i think you are over complicating with this comment.
We already have a Mechanism for the Old man to "search me out" and the Sith to "jump me" so how hard would it be to pop a BH out of thin and attack?

I think that is a great idea except for the SF thing. That will just bring it back to the days of the GTEF. The gankings would occur on both sides.
Then do not go SF. If yoru SF your open for "ganking" anyways. No matter the profession.
