Thread: Even more Publish 20 Patch Notes!
If I bring a smile to the lips of the oppressed, then my mission in life is complete...
... and there's a lot of oppressed people in this game.

Bounty Hunter
- Due to the popularity of the "no droid" rule on Kashyyyk, BH droids will no longer work on any planet. We hope that this exciting change will put the "Hunter" into "Bounty Hunter"
- Smuggler bounties have now been added! However, BH terminals and SpyNet operatives don't know their names, either.
- Not completing a mission within a half an hour results in the BH having a bounty placed on them that Jedi can take as their new content. Dying to a Jedi now results in skill box loss for the Bounty Hunter.
Jedi
- Jedi can now take bounty missions on Bounty Hunters. Take a bounty mission from our conveniently located terminals (outside every starport, shuttleport, cantina, medical facility, and cloning center) to get a mission on a Bounty Hunter. Information given includes their name, current skill set, SAT scores, and location of their residence.
- Added tracking droids (craftable by Jedi using minimal common resources) that will help pinpoint your BH target's location. These droids will work on every planet, including Kashyyyk.
Creature Handler
- You know it's coming, don't you? You can feel it in your bones. Well, we don't want to disappoint you. Eat Hot Nerf!
- We have reduced the maximum controllable CL to 10 at Master. Your days of being effective are over.
- We have reduced the maximum number of pets that can be stored at Master to 2.
- Pets no longer obey the commands of Creature Handlers.
- The CH profession may or may not be removed entirely. We'll flip a coin the morning we patch this sucker in.
Ranger
Chef
- We've added a fun new "realistic" roleplay element to this profession. VK-666, an Imperial Stormtrooper, is suing every Chef in the universe. He claims that you have made him dependent upon your goods to be able to fight effectively, and now he is fat, lazy, and an alcoholic. Based on the Emperor's ruling in the matter, all Chefs are fined 5 million credits apiece to compensate this traumatized trooper. The money will be deducted from your accounts before you log in. If you do not have enough money in your account to pay the fine, your homes and belongings will be confiscated.
Smuggler
- We've adjusted the loot tables for the new slicing tools so the frequency of the lower-tier tools will be more common. However, all tools will now be found on Super Battle Droids in order to encourage the Smuggler to join a group and learn some teamwork. We hate solo players.
- VK-666 is also suing Smugglers for making him addicted to Booster Blue. See the Chef changes for details.
Ranger
- (What? You're still here?)
Image Designer
- You now have the ability to increase the bust size of female Twi'lek dancers. We think they're hawt, and bigger is better, right?
Dancer
- All Dancers must now be hawt female Twi'leks.
Cry timeI would laugh as well, but /respec had tempted me so many times I am slightly ashamed.

LOL!
ROFL!
Whew...
Come on people, enough beating the dead horse.
The Jedi get their first decent publish after months of nerfs and you're literally at their throats. Last month, we saw the force healing nerfs which destroyed the Jedi's ability to tank, this month brings us the BH/Jedi TEF which prevents the entering of houses (never an exploit, just a defensive trick). Yes we lose our group vis, but it was only a matter of time before that one came about - many padawans would stop earning xp from fear of being hunted at a time when they had a cat in hell's chance of defending themselves. This removal of Jedi names from the terminal is a perfectly good idea, and its only been implemented to prevent gank squads as you don't need one anymore to take a jedi down. A master BH who knows what he is doing will be more than a challenge for a Knight.
And this, my friends, is a prime example of someone who is completely devoid of a sense of humor.

That pretty much sums up my reaction to.
