ghoul_drool Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hey all, I had a pretty nifty idea for a way to make PVP player bounties (which are so often requested) work without much hassle. I posted it in a topic that appeared to go south, so instead of letting a nice idea go to waste, I'll paste it here. Imagine, if you will, a PVP terminal that gives out a daily mission. The mission: Kill a designated player target. Once you accept the mission, you also become a target yourself. This works with a rock/paper/scissors system. If you accept the mission, you automatically become randomly flagged as: - a republic/imperial Adjucator. Your job is to stop Bounty Hunters. - a Bounty Hunter. Your job is to kill outlaws. - an Outlaw. Your job is to take out Adjucators. Once you've killed your target you immediately lose your designation and gain the set daily reward. If you're killed while designated, you have to return to the terminal and re-designate. Simple, effective. One might even do something with an automatic stealth detection buff while designated to level the playing field. Level bracketing is possible. What do you think?

zoomdbz Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I rather like the idea, but I'd love to see an ability to post bounties on people too. Like the previous leader of our guild stole all the money and mats out of the gbank then left the guild. How fun would it be to be able to post a bounty on him, or some other ninja looter etc. You simply go to the bounty terminal post the players name and give a reward for there stated crimes. Think of all the gold spammers we could get money for finding and killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branmakmuffin Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Stuff like this only works if the targets opt in. Sounds kinda like the OP's suggestion requires such an opt in. Thus it is worlds ahead of most similar suggestions. Still has no chance, but at least it's better thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a PvP server, opt-in would probably be the better choice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the gold spammers we could get money for finding and killing. It's not as fun as having it in-game, but really you could just make threads on your server forums and/or advertize in public chat. Require a screen shot of the kill or something. I remember people doing this to some success back when the game first came out. I agree that having an actual quest-like function would be potentially cool, but it will never happen. Also, I think that if any pvp bounty system did ever come about, that the Bounty Hunter class should really be integrally involved somehow.
