- Proposal
- This is a multi part proposal:
A- Increase payout of “extremely danger” BH pve missions by a small but beneficial margin (15-30k)
B- add to the existing loot profile of these targets; items such as decrepits and weapon augments (not guaranteed but part of the drop chance)
C- Increase the difficulty of the “extremely dangerous” missions by a step to match rewards and create a pve “end” game for the Bounty hunter profession.
- Justification
- Bounty hunting is an iconic profession in the Star Wars universe, but once you attain max level you quickly realize the rewards of bounty hunting are not worth the time it takes to track and drive to each target.
Also, as things currently stand there is no substantial rewards for opting to chase “extremely dangerous” missions. Because the payout is barely anything more than a standard target.
- Motivation
- When players create a BH they are no doubt aspiring to make their money via the profession. However despite the combat tree being effective, anyone who is experienced will tell you that you are better off grinding terminal missions for your money. This breaks the entire theme for the BH. Who should be encouraged to pursue bounty targets off the profession terminal.
It is not the intention of this post to completely shake the economy. But I do believe it would fill a necessary gap that currently exist.
A credit increase of 15-30k wouldn’t shatter the economy but it would offer another route for combat character to line their pockets fulfilling an iconic profession.
Currently targets have a chance to have credits in their pockets, this is a good thing and should stay as well. But as part of the possible loot table.
The addition of enhancing the loot profile for these targets would inject much needed items into the economy. None of these items have to be guaranteed, just part of the loot table
-decrepits, a vital weapon part that currently is farmed from storm lord. But that is done by Jedi or requires dual boxing which players shouldn’t be forced to do.
-weapon augments, it would make sense that extremely dangerous targets might have high powered weapons augments. Again would be a good way to inject more items into the server economy and wouldn’t ruin heroic farming
The difficulty-
A vital part of this is bumping the difficulty up so that it really feels like a step above the other missions available. I could see an argument for wanting to encourage BHs to take them on in pairs or as a trio. But that might be asking too much I’m not sure. Either way a target that requires the smart use of foods and cooldowns would make it more fun to hunt them down, and with matching rewards I imagine we will see a strong uptick in players performing the BH profession in the galaxy.
