I thouroughly enjoyed reading this thread. BH are the salt of the sea in this. I run Jedi Knight. I was on last night for about 6 hours hunting NS/DJM, quite often depleted on force because I don't run a defender template. Rich picking for a BH to come and challenege me.

Well after playing all night PvP tagged, capping my VIS assuming it was 0 at the point of restoration. I waited patiently killing stuff for the first buff session. 3 hour grace an what not.

So an hour into my second buff set I had my overhead open, minimap set to 256m. I didn't see a single BH. I was also on Dathomir most of the evening as thats where the Elders live. I cannot place a safe house down there either so that's not an option to hide. No one came.

Bottom feeding isn't PvP. Come at a full template. Be prepared to earn your pay. I don't win all my fights but I don't hide.

Obviously a fresh and hot topic.

Obviously some want to be able to complete their template without the risk of being found by a BH (or without the need to remember to keep 32m from NPCs/players when using abilities) and I guess do the themepark rides in the server without the worry of unplanned PVP.

This I guess is personal preference. I prefer the added element of risk. It keeps me on my toes.

My worry is that what'll actually happen is that some people now go try jedi, discover that it isn't as OP as expected and then demand more and more power-ups. Perhaps that comes with the FRS? i dont know. I've also read that they don't want to do the FRS here.

I think that the interplay between Jedi and BH is good overall but that perhaps the Jedi needs to get more from it - at least an xp boost for winning or something - like something to make fighting worthwhile. As it is, we simply have a removal of a mechanic.

It is easy to complain from the sidelines though. We will see how it pans out.

I do hope that we end up giving jedi more reasons to be overt. Even something as simple as - you can be overt while doing template and you get xp bonus. that way its a real choice.

Thing is, they didn't take away your risk. If you like getting hunted, you still can. Type /pvp twice and do all of your activities like you normally do. The only thing this update did was take away the ability for bh's to beat up on half temp padawans and pve-ers. There are Knights running around and there is pvp going on. So there are people on the terms. BHs aren't starving for bounties. They just don't get to bottom feed anymore.

Ha ha ha, do you think that a young bird who’s learn to fly have a net to securise his first try?

So a half template Jedi must be careful ! That’s all!!!

Do or do not.... there’s no try!!!

There’s always people who’s crying because they can’t have what they want easily! That’s the probleme of the perma-assist !

NGE is born from this reflexion !
