If i win or lose against a smuggler at least i wouldn't have to get hate tells after the fight like i do from jedi.

Oh, you know it will still happen. There are too many jerks and immature children in this game. But I like to think the numbers will be a lot less, since any Smugg who gets a bounty put on him really has no one to blame but themselves.

It's always been my opinion that the best smugglers would not get a bounty on their head in the first place.

Technically, yes. But if this system is put into the game, there will be people who get bounties placed on them on purpose, mainly just for the fun of it. It doesn't make them less than the best, it just makes them bored Smugglers looking for a little thrill.

I know I'll do it. I think it'd be fun to have to sneak around, watching every little blip on the radar. That's the way Smuggling should be.

I'm all for BHs hunting us down if they think they can take us.

Personally, I think we should be able to take out bounties on other players... I can think of a few people that I wouldn't mind having gunned down like dogs in the street.

But yes... ideally it would be an intelligent game mechanic for getting on the terms. For example, failing smuggling missions, obviously... OR being a highly successful smuggler for one particular faction ONLY. I know it's probably asking for WAY too much, but if you ran missions for Jabba ALL the time and always succeeded... wouldn't it make sense if Lady Valarien would take a bounty out on you? Because you're directly cutting into her profits? /shrug

Of course, that WOULD kind of 'force' people in PvP... unless there were only certain 'high risk' missions that would get you that kind of attention. And then there's always the NPC bounty hunter option that I've read about on the forums in the past.

It's not like this is ever going to be implemented anyway, I don't know why we even talk about it. It just gets me all excited for nothing...

I'm not going to hold my breath on being hunted by even an NPC BH just yet. The deadbeat system seemed like a great idea in the In Concept docs, but I'm not feeling too confident that the end result is going to reflect anything proposed in the original plan.

But, by all means, take a page from my girl's book and prove me wrong. Constantly. About everything. Even when I'm right...

It's all about living on the dangerous side. I feel like I need even a new signature, because I get so preachy about this. We just want the challenge of knowing that there's a chance that if we muck up a bit, we're in trouble. Let us be HATED!!! PLEASE HATE US!!!!

I do not have a problem with this, as long as the content that got us there is worth it. If we get real smuggling content then i would say bring it on. But if we get added to the Terms for having a slice gun and a pocket full pixey then I would have to say no.

On a side note, can we slice the Terms and find out who has our mission so we can cut them off at the pass. This is kind of sounding fun now.

I just feel that something has to be done about the smuggler content as well as the BH content. I am so sick of hunting jedi for 3 hours on Kashyyyk and i think it would be fun to hunt a smuggler because I think the would be more likely to stand and fight. I don't even care if i get killed i just want a good fight from a bounty that isn't on Kashyyyk AFK Grinding. I would say that there should be smuggler missions that could generate an npc bounty hunter and ones that generate a Player BH. I also think that there should be a hutt faction for BH and smugglers.

I'd want it to be completely optional. That way it'll be more fun for both the smuggler and the hunter, the hunter wouldn't have to deal with housing bugs or Kashyyyk (unless the mark just wanted to go to Kashyyyk). A system like giving the smugglers an hour before they can actually be hunted after they get on the liststo slice the terminals and take their names off. This way, those of us who want to be hunted can put up a fight to save the BH the trouble of finding one that's not going to try to get away. Do you agree that this would be good? It'd be harder to find a mission, yes, but at least you'd be at the terminals wasting your time instead of driving around for a while only to find the smuggler in a house.

That said, yes,if it were optional I'd probably just blast the heck out of the BH instead of being careful and all that nonsense. The BH that's hunting me hadbetter like the taste of dirt, that's all I have to say.

Wes - any comments on this one? IMO, the system should be as easy to implement with minimum new coding/art, but I don't think it should be done through the regular BH terminals, as they would be very specific Underworld-related illegal bounties (debt-collecting in my proposal) which aren't really going through the BH guild paperwork.

Optional though i dont want to be penalised for taking a pve route i think it should be a gameplay choice not a reward choice because i can see it happening that only the people opting in get decent rewards forcing pvp on pve smugglers in order to compete with pvp smugglers.
