Thread: new possible option for player bounties
I think it would be cool to have other people on the terms. So people could just post on the term
Name: Joe
CL: 78
Proffesions:MCM/NSMUGLER(if known what proff is)
Reason: Screwed me over on a deal, or maybe was buying other peoples orders off vendor
Price: 1 000 000
Something like that and if the guy gets killed he gets permanent dmg to his health for lets say 2 weaks and if killed 5 times in a row looses his cl lvl. Just to add more content for us bh's.
And maybe jedis can have something like this two where the person puts up another person that did something bad like swear or exploit or something like that and the jedi would deliver the peace. Just my idea.
EDIT: I added the jedi stuff so they dont whine and say oooo why are they giving ideas for their content not ours waaaa.

well i love all these ideas but the one about loaning money sounds great but we would have to have like a terminal maybe just a banking terminal to give u the option to take out a loan if u dont pay it back you get hunted
fighting smugglers would be good to because they do have true fighting abilities and they do makes ilegal products so yea
well my idea for this message board was to get revenge on anyone who has tricked betrayed or offended your guild can anyone think of a way to make that happen without causing anarchy in the game where everyone takes a bounty out on eachother

Ehhh, this would never happen. The door to griefing that would be opened would create a substansial rift in the player base. Imagine one of these WS or AS or former buff pack makers that have hundreds of millions of credits to throw around, they could post 500k bounties on the same person day in and day out for months if not a year or more. And what if they post it on say a competitor, they could drive someone out of business, not being ablt to go to factories and the like.
I think they should change to negative faction caps and when you get to say -25000 faction xp you get a bounty put on your head. They could do this for all factions. This would allow us to hunt the loot wh*res.

I never did like the idea of player bounties anyways.
GCW may be fun, but seeing a hoard of red dotsappear on the edge of your radardoesn't compare toseeing that blue dot right next to you go red! I enjoy being hunted, knowing that each and every dot on my radar is potentialy stalking me, watching... waiting for me to screw up...
If they'd add a toggle to the Options screen to enable BH missions against me, both of my combat characters would be on the terminals full time. If hewere able tolive through a shot or two, I'd even consider tossing my WSs hat into the ring. With all the support he's given to the Empire, I'm sure that there's at least one Reb out therewouldpay to see him dead. He may not be able to fight, but he's had a lot of practice running!

This could easily be overcome by simply placing limits on how often a bounty can be placed on an individual.
as far as smugglers...90% of us WANT to be hunted...and putting player based bounties on other players would be fun...you want your weaponsmith competitor dead?...np...contact your local Underworld agent..(smugglers) and they'll set ya up...and moderating it would be kinda simple...only one bounty placed per week on one person..to help soften the griefing...and being as smugglers are...we could help place your bounty and then notify the target and "smuggle"them around for a price and then next thing we know....WE'RE on the terms...if we choose to do that of course...the higher the level of smuggler, the higher the bounty to be placed....and the better chance to help targets evade...but when it comes to adding ANYTHING for smugglers...it won't happen...
ah well.....adapt and improvise
