Its open season on Jedi, folks.
Anyone else find this mildly disturbing? Or will it keep the "LEETZOR TEH FETT" crowd occupied?

Oops, there goes your months of hard work because we can't do what you did. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
How sweet would it be if the she-jedi had awesome pvp powers as compensation for oh..the <i>entire community</i> being out for her head.
It's not just their characters at stake here, they've spent months of their own free time and money to get this far.
I think it'll be fun to see some dead bounty hunters, and besides it perks it up for ALL players as they begin brokering information on where to find Jedi.
Come on, who doesn't enjoy the thrill of knowing a bunch of people are out to PK you?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if you die as a bounty hunter you'll respawn the same as when you died, but if you die as a jedi, that's it for becoming a jedi, you become a ghost or something.
Of course they're not a skilless noob, but you can still get swarmed by idiots who just want to kill you because you're highlevel/skilled/etc. Happens in all PKing MMO's. I'd certainly **** as hell if my 4 and a half month investment was killed by some random idiot after I lagged out.
I don't. I'd rather not see my hard work shattered because of jealousy.
I would so wanna be-her. Imagine the havoc she can wreak now.

Edit: I think I'll buy Knights of the Old Republic. What's that? Everyone's a Jedi? Sign me up.
Can someone clarify?
--Scythe--
a) its a lot lot harder to make it un-fun for other people intentionally, and you have less incentive to do so [not through attitude changes, but by stuff like 'it affects them less' etc]
b) your involvement in the game is less. i.e you dont warp your life around the game... but then again, with pay to play, im pretty god damned sure they want to have you play for longer and longer. but this lack of immediate 'rewards' will dissuade new players from making the jump and buying the game and paying to play.
[sorry for my lack of colloquial elegance, im kind of rushed and pooped today :| school yearlies next week, havent listed all year haha OOOH BOY]
1) the universe: In star wars the jedi <b>were</b> hunted and spent a lot of time running and being betrayed when they could find shelter with the rebels.
2) choice: they didn't have to go a jedi, it's not forced on you so if you want to make a char and not risk it all just don't make a jedi. Simple =/

Uh dude like I said before. They arent even really Jedi yet. All they did was get one sensitive slot. They probably arent even considered padawans. And they claim that this is RP. Right.
*Edit*
Plus I hardly believe that magically when someone in the star wars universe becomes force sensitive every bounty hunter in the galaxy can detect it and suddenly start hunting them.
Would that make them force-sensitive-sensitive? OMG PUT A BOUNTY ON THE JEDI-JEDI-DECTACTORZ!
Gem, besides, it kinda matters at what point in the Star Wars timeline this is. In the original 3 movies (And books and comics around that time) Y es Jedi's were considered outcasts, but in the time of Episode 1 and 2, and so on (And the books etc around the same time), the Jedi were revered members of society and generally respected. No?
Second, yes, the Bounty Hunters WOULD come back, I meant figuratively "dead" since all going well the Jedi will saber through them and laugh their heads off.
Do I find it thrilling? Hell yes. I've played enough MUDs to know that the risk of permadeath gets my blood pumping. Avoiding Arenas, keeping an eye on who's in town, trying to gain levels while watching your back for an assassination attempt.
There is no finer way to play, IMHO.
I think its fine for them to be hunted - they're smart players, they've a bit of wit, and now its time to apply that. It fits with the background of the game and the universe. And again, noone's forcing them to go Jedi, hehe. At least this way other people who get an FS slot will know that there are other Jedi about - perhaps some people will protect them, while others will sell them out at the first opportunity.
Personally I think it invigorates the game, probably more so on the RP style servers.
Have you ever taken a test in a class with 40+ people? the way people finish things is bell shaped: one or two finish really fast, then a few more finish, then half the class finishes at once... this will work the same way. so far, there have been one or two jedi; soon there will be 5, and then 15, and then 50, then 150... so it's safe to say players won't be able to fund bounties on all of them.
It's your choice whether to take the hardcore slot or not in the end, you don't have to make a force char if you don't want to =3
