Bounty System

We can think about the idea.

[SayianSaga]

HMm... a bit weird of suggestion and something thats not gonna be too easy to implement, and yes i agree is gonna encourage the bullies even more if this would happen..I dont know ..maybe even put some sort of prize on the person who s being huntered , so that he wont feel like a lil bunny running from the bounty hunters ..but yeah to the idea i would say no so
-1 ..sorry

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

Obviously, you weren't reading my suggestions carefully enough. Though, let me clarify. In addition to Kage's 1day buff and limitations to one person only being entered into the bounty hunt once every 24 hrs, the bounty hunters can also hunt once a day. Clarify to me how that involves bullying? Plus you're only going to be picked on based on your lvl range. Being a lvl 55 target means you might be easily picked on by lvl 60's and less so by lvl 50's. But hey, you stand a fighting chance in getting away from them right? you're WITHIN THEIR LVL RANGE! At least you're not being picked off by someone who is twice your level right? >.> duh, hence why hunters have to make a choice: to go for the lower lvl bounty hunt which gives a certain amount or to go for a challenge picking someone who's 5 lvls stronger than they are and getting a bigger reward out of it.

You'll be lucky if your name gets entered and isn't chosen at all the entire day. Sure, your name gets chosen once and you get killed. Guess what?!?!?!? It's only for one day and it's done and over with. a new target will be chosen and a new set of hunters will go at it. It's not like I gave the bounty hunters a choice to do it every fricking hour every time your name (who ever you may be) shows up. And your name may be entered and won't show up for days. Thing is, whoever (whichever, whatever group, people, guild what not) puts a bounty on you and wants to kos you that badly wouldn't waste a single grain of rice into the event if they can just go evil mode and pk you themselves.

Also, remember, there are pvp servers, and I think this is just a game for the fun of it. I personally hold a few "Hunt the JiSung" events on my own and seem to find it fun trying to hide from my seekers. Best thing about being a high lvl is that you have less people hunting you, and a wider range to hide. Also I'd have a chance to take on a person if they find me first. It's not like I'm telling the GM to not allow the victims to fight back. (did i ever mention that in my previous quote? I don't believe so).

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)

lol i'm guessing this also depends on who's willing to participate and those who are not

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

[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?!?!?!?

[elsage]

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

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.

[sawja]

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

[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

[Sc3n3]

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.

[Kagelol]

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.

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.

:P Som1 else agrees. Yay!!! XD
