Bounty Hunter Archive

since I first heard of this game, Back when you the developers were looking for people to beta test, I thought nothing other than becoming a Bounty hunter, and for months I could wait to get my hands on this game, but now I come to here NO bounties on PC's, LAME, so Lame, I was canceling my subscribtions to Earth and beyond while I read the thread on this, I then proceeded to cancel only one of the 2, cause if there no bounties on pc's whats the point!!!!!

I spent late nights and countless days lving for nothing, thanks SWG !!!!

I to want to be allowed to hunt players. I thought that was the point of being a Bounty Hunter.

IMO it is not too dofficult to see how it can work.

first off... you can do a bounty hunt on players through several means one way would be to alllow PC's to place requests... Example i have a certain player character that has not lived up to his end of the bargain with a business associate of mine which makes me carry a major part of the burden. this individual who's name i will not mention yet has taken over 30k in credits for the manufacturing of harvestors to help a certain droid engineer frioend of mine with her droid production. in return the harvesters selections shifted and now this person has avoided her for 4 days and when he did say anything in return to multiple /tell requests etc they have been only to say i need more money to move the harvestors ot a new location before i can fill your previous agreed request.

MY point of view has been one of a proactive nature.

Fine since this frelling thief is going to be costing me because they can't maintain their own harvestors and cuasing my business to suffer. I will in turn make them suffer and palce a bounty on their head if they do not follow through in the next 48 hours.

I have more then enough creds to pay someone 15k creds to see a screen shot of this rat dropped. If there was a public terminal where this person could then be laoded by name in and a bounty included with the cost determined buy the player character it would make cheeting someone a lot less desireable.

Second is the faction issue someone gets a negative very high ina certain faction: bingo baby you made public enemy number one... and your name is palced on the bounty hunters list.

the e-mail notification system would be a great way to tell players from this point on your marked. Make them jumpy etc.

It would give them3 options.

1. pay your way out of it. 50% more then the bounty on your head as now your paying the hunters fee's and the factions or offended parties.

2. they get waxed by the guy/lady with the cool pose and the smoking barrel.

3. run like a fugitive. Eventually we will catch you.

so basically this system is capable of handling that if the developers allow for it in their code. but it is totally dooable.

As far as game death.. i do not think you would even have to permit perma death.. what you could do is require an expensive clone to be made. 50% to 100% more then normal or what not, then the person can reclone. Now if the bounty hunter loots them. they get nothing back not even if insured no gear!!! nothing.

have to start from scratch or use what they have in their bank account.

you could do regular kills as well but regualr kills should be based upon multiple offenses. lead to perma death. but i'm even flexiable with that as well.

I would just love to see PVP options availableas i would specifically like to place bountys of my own. as it is now i would prefer to be thehead of my own crime syndicate.

Why not? after all it's a big universe.... Jabba has to share something. or at least move over for some competition.

The whole reason I've been training my bounty hunter has been to engage in pvp oriented bounty hunts. I'm quite disappointed devs.

Bounty Hunters without being able to do PC bounties makes the proefssion WORTHLESS

Yes, yes, YES!!!!!! Definatelly need this! Also, there should be smuggler missions that all have bounties if not completed.

PVP BH!!!!!!!!!

I hope player bounty hunting gets implemented as well. It would be nice to have at least some sign from the Devs if it is going to be, so I know to keep pumping experience and time into it, or move to a different field!

Non grief pvp would rock, I'm up for this as well.

Dak.

Bump put it in it will make the proffession worth working for..

I for one am for player bounties. As long as it is done in a way where the people who don't want to be a part of PvP have the option of not being part of it. By this I simply mean have a system that does 2 things:

A) If the said player gets a certain mission, it warns said player, "hey if you do this you may have a bounty placed on you if you fail...do you wish to continue yes or no?

B) Have players who have achieved a very high rank in a faction (a rank that is extremely hard to obtain will curb numbers) be able to place a bounty on others (that have also achieved some sort of of rank) and make it cost a truck load of money (this would limit the number of people who would be willing to pay this) and then flag the bounty creator for a said time (this will make it hard for someone who is a high ranking rich dude to constantly have people "marked")

I whole heartedly believe that us Bounty Hunters will show allot of respect to rules like this, but also make it a part of the profession that it should be. Lets face it, if you want to play the role of the BH, and if someone is overt, you can technically hunt them now. But its not the same, because with a mark, we would be able to actually have to track the target, and I bet having some sort of a flag associated with the character would not be that difficult to do.

I want player BH missions

consider it signed

Signed indeed, i think the easiest solution to bounty griefers would be to set a limit on how low a bounty will pay. put a 5k minimum payment on it and you have a lot less people going around putting bounties on people just for tthe hell of it.
