Thread: My run in with bounty hunters post publish 24 [a fine example of why snare stacks need to go]
Being that it was your first BH experience, I would just forget about it and think of it as a rare happening. I've been jedi for a year and have only been ganged up on or hunt by more than one BH in one day only 1 time. Sure I lost, but they didn't send hate /tells nor gloat over my corpse. They just DB'd me and left. Since then I haven't been hunted by more than one BH.
Now your situation has you upset do to the way your first encounter went down. it was your first time, so don't judge everything by this one encounter. Now if it continues to happen again or more often than you think it should. Then you may have a point to be concerned about.
Honestly though, I think BH's like to pick on unfinished temps for some reason. My self, all my BH visits were when I was not finished template and I have yet to have a BH come after me since I've been full template. I do quest (just finished secrets of syren act 4) and have fought nothing but krayts, nightsisters, sith, imperial npc's and other npc's. All that vis and no BH has come for me yet.
So in myexperience, I had one situation where I was overwhelmed by more than one BH and since, I've had no issues withthem. NOw maybe I'm lucky because I don't stay in one spot too long, maybe they don't like coming into the kraytgraveyard or to dath due to the risk of thoseplaces....either way, when I can sit down a be logged on for 6 hours and never have a BH visit, something is going on and whatever it is, I'm not complaining. heck, I actually sat in mos eisleystarport for 3 hours the other day and only one BH came near me....but he was asking me to helphim with amark.....I guess he didn't know I was a jedi because I don't wearrobes, don't have my saber equipped unless I'm in battle andI wear a bugged master marksman tag...LOL.....however, he could have be trying to besneaky and draw me into a ambush somewhere. He did ask mewhat level healing I had. I just told him politely that I was just checking my emails and was about to log off.....he didn't attack so It made meno difference....I was ready for him if he did anyway.
Anyway,my point is, don't take it personal. Try to keep cool and don't jump to conclussions. I do however beleive you made a big mistake in attempting to go backto the same starport/terminal more than once. It's always a good practice to retreat to anothercity/outpost/player city anduse anormal shuttle to another planet where you have another ship. That's one thing I do myself. I have 3 ships parkedon 3 different planets at various starports. Ioften switch them around at timesso not to be predictable in my travels. It's just a precaution, but sometimes it just happens that waybecause I do fly different ships in space sometimes, so Ialways have 3 ships ready to go.
I know pub 24 and the snares are bad, but it seems to me that your situation could have been avoided by simply staying away from that starport for a while....make the Bh's earn their kill by chasing you down across every planet....don't go back to them, because obviously they were camping the spot and probably knew you traveled there a lot....it's not hard for 4 BH's to coordinate together when that situation arises.
I'll say up-front that I think pub 24 is utterly idiotic and shows the usual lack of understanding by the dev team with regard to the game, the players, etc. It is a total slap in the face of melee professions.
That being said, I never had any expectation of surviving attacks by four bounty hunters at once. I fought BHs in the beta with the new changes, and they were experienced players who could consistenly beat the Jedi templates I tried due to the snare changes. And these fights were one-on-one.
If you can survive or even almost survive a gank squad of bounty hunters, then that really doesn't support the argument that this patch is bad.

Bountyhunters are able to pull the same mission on the same Jedi.You can have multiple BHs after you in minutes. It's not hard to do and it doesn't take too much time to do it.
With the current +SNARE+ affecting movement the way it is it's inevitable that Jedi will get a huge push soon.
Oh, and the DEVs lied again. There was NO abliity to stack movement buffs and Debuffs which caused for the allegded need of this nerf. That stacking affect had been removed MONTHS ago!!! Multiple snares did NOT stack and continuisly reduce movement speed.
It really makes one wonder where they get there info from...

I do not think this was a planned team effort just bad luck on my part.But it still shows that this snare changemakes for very unbalenced game play i had no chance of fighting or escaping.
I agree 100%.
I would expect anyone that logs on their Jedi toons here in the near future that you probably stand a VERY good chance of getting ganged up on like that since less Jedi will be logging on for the time being.
Even without being snared to death I think it's probably best to lay low for the time being.
