Jedi vs Bounty Hunter collection

Jedi vs Bounty Hunter collection
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Add a Jedi collection that progresses by defeating Bounty Hunters, rewarding something like 5 to 10% increased damage, similar to the existing BH collection.
Justification
Right now, it feels like the majority of Jedi vs BH fights end one of two ways: the Jedi escapes, or the Jedi dies. Bounty Hunters also seem to come out on top in most of these fights for a variety of reasons.

There are very few situations where a Jedi actually manages to kill everyone pushing them. Going up against a 3-stack of BHs is already difficult enough to secure kills because of the limited kill windows, so giving Jedi a collection that rewards successful kills would provide meaningful long-term progression for players who are able to win those engagements.
Motivation
I think this would encourage newer Jedi to actually take fights instead of immediately looking for an escape. Right now, there's very little incentive to try and win. It's usually just run away or die.

Adding a Jedi collection would give players a reason to engage and improve instead of always prioritizing survival. It rewards successful PvP without changing the core gameplay, while also giving Jedi something comparable to work toward, much like Bounty Hunters already have.

I also think this would encourage newer Jedi to actually take fights instead of immediately looking for an escape. Right now, there's very little incentive to try and win. It's usually just run away or die. Giving Jedi a progression path tied to defeating Bounty Hunters would make those fights feel a lot more rewarding and encourage people to engage instead of avoiding PvP whenever possible.
 
BTW, invading a heroic is a very interesting prospect. Perhaps the Bounty Hunters could pay a fee to enter a Heroic. Ooooh wouldn’t that be fun!
 
I was communicating with the developers for that entire PV, before, during, and after, and was told things not said in public. Does that bother you? I was also told my concerns would be addressed just not in the way I wanted, even before the patch was done. I’m not special, I just talk(ed) to the developers, some of which agreed with much I was saying.

Anyway, I am happy if Jedi get more incentive to fight Bounty Hunters. Sure. Go ahead. But Jedi needs to be fixed. Fundamentally, right now, several of the builds are broken. The developers need to use their time fixing that before they decide how to give incentives to Jedi to fight instead of suicide.
Ok well you still skipped the answer but that is ok. I agree that some things need changing and they are working on it and as posted above some of what they said. How about next time don't just give Brian crap just to be trolling and say what you just did here. I also agree that some of the builds need work. But when don't some builds need work be it Jedi or normie? They will always need work with a system like this. I wish you had a better understanding of Jedi and game mechanics though. Anyways have a nice night. Edit - And there will always be people who will take the afk death option and that is fine. What is the big deal really? Dead is dead. Sure it might be boring for the BH but that is no big thing. Just move on and enjoy the ones who want to fight.

I am not a Jedi on this server and never have been. My only true knowledge of them comes from what others have told me and from fighting them.

Vilaura is my friend. Ostensibly and by principle I have to come to her defense if someone is being rude to her. I read Briant’s comment earlier and it was pretty rude. Vilaura is a good player and deserves respect even from the most ego high Jedi.

The only Jedi I’ve met on the server who are great players have no ego btw. Goodnight 🌙
 
There is no incentive to fight. just penalized.
Welcome to life as a Jedi during order 66.

lets say a jedi defeats a group of bh as the most supposed powerfull class in resto then the jedi loses access to shuttles the flight of the veteran can get breeched and ultimately will still get hunted down and killed and will miss the heroic timer.

See above reply. The player knew all this before rolling Jedi. Watch the Obi wan series on Disney plus. That is exactly what life as a Jedi should be like for the time frame the game is set in.

i cant speak for all the jedi but id as soon go to the heroic and then run straight to eisley sit down and wait to get ghosted. as you bh like to point out its not the money its the pvp. and while we cant stop the kill forever we can deny you the pvp and get to back to heroics without a long wait so yeh were doing that and you can come get ure kills.
If you wanna lay down for them, fine. That only makes their job easier.

so im gonna downvote this.
We agree on that.
 
People need to understand that Jedi on restoration has always been a risk vs reward class.

If you want to play your Jedi in heroics daily, like a normie. Be prepared to be challenged on your skill level and ability on the class frequently.

Failure leads to lockout. If you want to avoid Bounty Hunters and farm heroics everyday unchallenged. Go to legends
 
Real level headed takes in this thread. Really stoked we were able to discuss the core of what I was suggesting and hammer down some awesome alternative suggestions.
