Bounty System

[Kagelol]

No idea if someone else suggested it.
but it just popped up in my head, and i liked it

make a Bounty system, a NPC where people can place a bounty on a persons head (with gold and or crystals, Maybe charm/prestige?)
when a bounty is placed people can accept the bounty and receive an item that will point towards the player, many people can accept the bounty, first to kill the target gets the reward (if bounty is collect by someone all the other items will stop working)
The bounty hunter must not be higher than 5 lvl's than the target, otherwise you would have all high lvl's hogging all the bounties, and it would be fun if the lower lvl's could hunt some aswell.

And as addition to this make a title "Bounty Hunter" for someone who collected xx bounties.
and perhaps a title for someone who made xx bounties which were all collected and completed.


Edits --------------------------
After suggestion idea's :

I like this idea... to add to this a little I would say that if you have a bounty out on you then you cannot go into afk protection and you would be able to be attacked in town also. Or in town except L1 in Starglade.

But there should also be limits set, like you can only place one bounty per day, and someone that has already been killed for a bounty cannot be killed again. Like if someone were to put a bounty on me there is a 1 bounty per day limit.

I agree to this.
perhaps after being killed for the bounty u get a cooldown of alot of hours so u cannot be added for bounty again.
also perhaps some sort of a fee that u will have to pay when u make a bounty (like 10% of the bounty go's to the server)
setting 1 bounty per person per day isnt an bad idea either ( vip's more?)

Also setup rules for minimum Bounty's so there wont be bounties out on people for 1g.
like calculate it based on lvl that as example a lvl 80 scion bounty would have to be atleast 50g or xx crystals, and a lvl 80 normal atleast 30g or something like that (and lower lvls even less ofcourse.)

Also, this would only be for PvP servers obviously. that way even if you think of this as a bully system you should just think twice and decide to go on a PvE server.

An earlier event perhaps. I am not mean to people but i dont want anyone setting abounty on me, constantly being worried about whos behind you *shiver* no just make it an event r2 NICE idea!!! for event perhaps people (strongest players) opt to have around 30 random folk kill em if succseding all members who helped in anyway are rewarded (players may enter multiple times and can chose the level 80- 100 scion they want to kill) in the result of the player killing the mobs around them they receive a large bounty :P just an idea all

Bad suggestion, will hopefully never be implemented not even for a week.
That would be legitimized bullying of players and therefor shouldn't be added.

I dont think putting bounties on peoples heads are a good idea, however I have a thread for a suggestion for pvp servers only : http://forum.r2games.com/showthread....nly-Suggestion Take a look at it I think you would find it interesting.

[pierredevara]

It would suck in one way tho.. If i wanna grind and I am Afking and someone puts a bounty on my head ? And the 5 lvls gap is still not enough because some players(cashers) who have 500+ soul can kill most of the players the same lvl as they are

[sawja]

This idea was used already in an mmorpg called HeroOnline. But it was fun =P.

[(S14)Squintina]

As long as there are limitations (like what people mentioned above), it'd be fun.

Especially on a PVE server, since we can't pvp in regular areas unless we have the right pvp mode, it'd bring some flavor back to the word "KOS".

Of course, AFK prot should still work.

this event jjust gonna promote massive abuse, by alts of at least between players
let say a lvl50mortal, calling up random fellow vidalians at him same range-lvl then make an agreement to put bounty on each other head then kill each other alternately
wonder how would you void this abuse

[4ever_anji]

lol i'm guessing this also depends on who's willing to participate and those who are not. I suggest that if a player's head has a bounty on it, the system announces a list of those players every [few] hour(s), possibly one for every 10 lvl ranges? Like a lvl 15 in the lvl 10-19 range, 24 in the lvl 20 range and so on. That way there's only... 10 targets per hour and all chosen by random. Sure, people can pay to throw their alt's into the mix, but it would be a waste of time to spend money bountying every alt so that it gets announced at the top of the hour, wouldn't it?

Also, if a person is within 5 lvls of the target, a person could possibly go for 2 bounties instead of one. Normal cs players could only go for one a day, vip's may go for 2. for example, there's two targets, one in the lvl 70's range and one in the lvl 60's range. I as a hunter somewhere inbetween those levels, say, about 68, would be able to go for both the lvl 70 and/or lvl 60 target.

And when the system announces the names of the people chosen for the bounty hunts, the hunted should receive an item that cannot be destroyed or something. lol i'd like for the image to be in the shape of a head or a crown. It gives a warning sign that they should go run and hide somewhere. Would be interesting if they can't teleport or get into town with the item in their possession. When this person dies, the item drops for the rightful bounty hunter who can then turn it in to the NPC associated with the bounty hunts. Sounds like a lot of work, but I'm loving the idea. ^_^ who's ready to start a team of bounty hunters?!?!?!?

Lets stop trrying to think up ideas this will nevver happen lets just lrave it there XD

another abuse issue here
say you make up party of bounty hunter then decide to hunt someone else head out of party, this party sure willing to participate, but how about the victimize bounty head, does he willing to? what happen if he doesnt? can he void this? or else this would turn out into massive bullies and forum once again would be flooded with bully complains
wonder how would you void this

no, if you are targetted you are screwed, which is why i'd say make a buff after someone got hunted down that they cannot be hunted down again that day.
so one can only be hunted once (or maybe tweice, idk)
