I can't believe PvP bounties weren't included. That is the point of being a bounty hunter! Who wants to waste time hunting down NPCs? /sign, I hope some great mod takes notice of this thread.

singed :]

Firstly as an aspiring bounty hunter i like the ideas about hunting players

I've read the first page or 2 of this thread so i'm not sure if this has been brought up, but what about if the player just logs off?

I mean your in town and you see this yellow arrod heading for you. whats stopping them from logging out and waiting for an hour or more?

as a bounty hunter it'd be very frustrating to be finally closing in on your target, only to see them dissapear right before your eyes. Then face the decision of either waiting for them to come back or just going to get another mission.

only solution i can think of is to say, if you fail a special mission, you are stuck on that planet and cannot logout for an hour? half an hour?

or if anyone has any other ideas how to get around it?

My response to this topic is simple. Why not have PC bounties?? Look at what is actually lost by dying in this game... Almost nothing. So what if you have to run for your corpse because a BH got you and you weren't insured, big deal. There is noexp. loss for dying, and the improved realism that would come with PC bounties will drastically outway any negatives on this topic. Someone please argue this post, and explain to me why PC bounties aren't a good idea..

Make bounties on other play extremely expensive, minimum of TENS of thousands.

Special missions worth more money that are extremely difficult (combo of destroy, deliver, escort maybe?) that come from someone in Jabba's or Lady Valarian or powerfull thugs or criminals or businessman NPCs...failure to complete (must complete not just erase from the datapad) results in a Bounty Hunter being sent. No pay up time or something. TEF for the bounty and mark only. No gang banging marks or bounty hunters for groups... 1Pv1P. Once mark or BH is killed in the PVP combat, the bounty has a chance to drop, letting the mark get away free...or if it was a big enough special mission they failed, they could get 1 or 2 BHs sent after them, but not indefinately.

Also should be a certain level of BH before you are able to 'unlock' the PVP bounties. Maybe not Master, but something more than Novice...or not. I dunno on that one.

BUT!

Thanks.

You got my signature as well.

The fact is that there have been a lot of good ideas on these boards on ways to implement the PvP Bounties in such a way as to make it fun (and worthwhile) for both Bounty Hunters and regular players as well. It can be done, and we have done (and continue to do) our part in spitballing ideas for the Devs. Now its up to the Devs to make a decision and chose a system. At the very least, they could give us some feedback as to whether or not any system is even being CONSIDERED for implementation....

This was one of the key reasons I purchased the game. I really hope this is implemented.
