Bounty squads are unbalancing the game against the nerfed Jedi at the moment because Jedi can't get help from anyone else during a bounty fight.


The Devs could make Master Smugglers able to assist Jedi.Luke Skywalker's best friend was a smuggler who helped him out in more than a few tight spots. I think Master Smugglers should be allowed to help Jedi who are being hunted by BH's. That would make Master Smugglers VERY popular.


And it goes along with the underworld connections theme, too. Smugglers can deal with people who otherwise could not be dealt with. Since Jedi are considered part of the underworld in the Empire, nothing could make more sense, IMO.


The game mechanic could be something similar to /consent, where a Jedi can consent one (and only one) Master Smuggler to assist him (the same way someone needs to consent a doc to get rezzed). This would make bounty squads more tolerable, and maybe even more fun to deal with, if the BH's didn't know what to expect.


It would make a single BH work harder to catch a Jedi alone.


It would make a group of BH's work harder when a Jedi is in a group.


It would relieve some of the Jedi's frustration with gank squads.


It would boost the Smuggler profession.


It would not break continuity, as smugglers operate outside the normal legal channels anyway. In fact, it would enhance continuity.


Overall, it would also encourage group play.


*edit* - Also, the Jedi would stop crying for a Last-Ditch nerf if it could be used to their advantage in a fight.

so a group of 5 BH's turn up to fight a jedi who just happens to be grouped with 7 other master smugglers tho there not tagged lol


that would be a classic moment, but would only lead to more complaints


at the end of the day it does not matter what changes are made no one will ever agree and no one will ever be happy.

ARRR, Matey! Methinks ye've had not enough pie and more than enough beer! T'was said in the post that ye could consent one of yer smuggler friends to help in the battle.A jedi is 1.5 elite profs, and we all know that a master smuggler is just as elite as any o' them scurvy carbineeros or long-gunners. That would make a grand 2.5 elite profs together wouldn't it?


If 5 BH's attack, that would only make it 2-to-1 odds.


In other words, more's the fair, more's the fun. I'll grab my glowstick. You grab yer gun!

Actually I'll one up that, what if are ability to hide contraband was extended to allow certain un-mentianablbeprofession to hunt in a group that has a master smuggler and they would not gain notice cause of the master smugglers ability!

erm... bad idea. It is already very hard for a BH to kill a fulltemplate padawan and some jedi recive mor help from their guilds then they should and are griefing BHs while they are fighting a Jedi (group invitations, ride invitation, challanges,hate tells...). I don't want to see a poor bh being ganked by a jedi knight and 3 smugglers... and i know from my own experiance (hehe i am a smuggler since i've started the game)that a smuggler is very dangerous in PvP (no matter whether in 1v1 or in a group).


Nope i think Smugglers supporting the jedi would be pretty lame. it is a Jedi/BH thingy and should not be our matter. anyways, why sould i help a jedi. I am a smuggler i want to smuggle and make some profit. Jeidi are not my buissnes
