Talarchy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I was suprised to learn back at launch there was zero bounty system in SWTOR. This was a feature that made sense in other games like Starwars Galaxies and gave bounty hunters a sense of purpose. Has anyone seen any notes or anything that would indicate that Bioware are thinking about adding bounties for... bounty hunters? I know, call me crazy right...

Rouge Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Never, because the bounties encourage griefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlarto Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 When all classes get speical content, no class should hsve something no one else has in the game, mostly a free pass to grief.. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daethorz Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Never, because the bounties encourage griefing. Bountys are Based on grief, in movies, in real life, it is Grief. Personally i enjoy it, just id like it to be for all classes, thats like saying only sorcs can pvp and agents can do ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourTwent Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 last i hear this was on their 'wall of stuff to do'. like with guild ships, so not programmed yet(probably) and a good bit away. i dont think it'll be restricted to bounty hunters though. i think everyone will be able to set a bounty and anyone can claim it.

Smugglers get smuggling missions. Agents get spy missions. Troopers get assault missions. As for the glowbat brigade: Sith can kick babies and Jedi can rescue kittens.

Shingara Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) i cant see why there couldnt be a bounty system for taking down npcs, doing it for players is too sporadic if its limited to active quests available within your log, it would require a world with no flashpoints or operations, no safe havens like fleets if its the other side and would be limited mostly to max level players only due to none lap over of areas when leveling not to mention finding and getting to the person whilst your online and there online.

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 no, because such a system is too hard for :bioware: and bounty hunting can't be instanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talarchy Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Never, because the bounties encourage griefing. If the system is designed by halfwits, then yes it could be a griefing aspect.. or you could look it as another exciting aspect to the everdull PVP scenario. Generally I find when people consider BH or bounties to be griefing (or grieving, w/e) they most likely were locked in thier house at some point and being camped by a Bounty hunter, and in that case you should have grown a pair and gone outside and cleared the bounty.

Razdek Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't understand what you mean, that's all the bounty hunters do during their class quests.... Igree with this it is the class wuest... However a daily at lvl 50 would be awesomw that spawns a random instanced area on any planet that we could go and hunt a bounty on would be cool to keep up the whole bounty hunter thing.... This could be done for all classes with a random class specific daily quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWGVet Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We will never see player bounties because we have too many carebears who will whine about getting griefed on PvP servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true :/ Quote: Originally Posted by Brodysmith I don't understand what you mean, that's all the bounty hunters do during their class quests.... No, I mean hunt real people.... not NPC's. Example... (borrowing some familiar game mechanics here) Imagine... SWTOR has an open world PVP that actually works (ok... have you imagined that? good..) Now, in this fairy PVP land, When someone unceremoniously ganks you, you have the ability to place a bounty on their head before you respawn. Then, the Bounty hunters go to the imaginary BH terminal on the fleet and all compete for the system bounties. The higher the bounty on a player, the more he or she will most likely get hunted - but this was the fun. Now, if you wanted to keep the kiddies happy, you have no same-faction hunting, because yes this can cause a bit of unrest in the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Victus Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 If you think about it, your collecting bounties all through out your story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ha Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Got to play another game to do that....1313 Altho I did like the Bounty Hunting stories during the leveling up phase, it was pretty cool.

Agree also smugglers should be able to smuggle? Even in Privateer in 1993 players could smuggle contraband to planets to earn credits. So much unexplored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
