My fun Bounty-filled Sunday
PostedTue Jun 21, 2005 2:23 pm
Sunday turned out to be BH day for me. I had three bounty hunters come after me within three hours so needless to say it was a lot of fun, but I got very little accomplished hehe.
1st BH that came turned out to be a crafter that had taken on a friend's account (the original owner) and really had little idea of how to play his BH. So he sends me a tell letting me know he doesn't want to kill me - just wants to see what he can do. I'm skeptical of course, but don't really care if he's lying or not - I just like the fight. So we go at it and I incap him, I let him up and we go at it some more, he incaps me (wasn't watching my ham lol) lets me up. We discuss his template and tactics and I find myself liking the fellow.
I talk him into giving up his life with the Empire and joining the rebellion. So we both hop in my speeder and we're flying around my PC looking for a rebel officer NPC so I can give him some faction when lo and behold another blip on radar. We hightail it over to one of the SF bases and I hop off the speeder. The BH comes and we fight for a few minutes and he is killed. The guy with me asks how many come after me and I tell him this is a record already hehe. My new found friend now heads off to Bestine to retire from the Imperial Military and I group up with some allies of ours for some hunting.
First lair we get to I catch the blip just in time and I start returning fire. After about a minute I realized I was in a bad situation (caught unaware) and accept a ride from a groupmate. We make our getaway to their guildhall so I run in and don't really need to regen so I just wait for the BH to follow me there. A few moments later he shows up outside and my groupmates are having a little chat with him. I take my food/drinks/spices and head out to meet my fate. This was THE best fight I've had thus far. I gotta say this guy knew what he was doing. We fought for 30 minutes (friend timed it) and I went through 2 cycles of food/drink/spice, my health crystal, and a holo and finally outlasted the guy. I complimented my hunter profusely for the excellent showing and challenge and promptly went to have a smoke before my heart exploded lol.
What a rush it was. My nerves were so shot I ended up logging shortly after my smoke and some chatting with friends. Bounty Hunters add a whole new level of excitement once you can sort of stand up to them. I'm only CL55 and less than 100k, but I guess I've reached that point where I can at least hold my own most of the time. Very fun
