Thread: Player Bounties...
I apologize if this has already been discussed but with all this dabbler talk lately I got to thinking. On Test right now they are implementing Creature Mounts and I have heard that only a Master CH can turn an animal into a mount. Makes sense to me...a bit of a reward for attaining Master CH and a goal and nice new perk to shoot for.
Well...if player bounties are ever implemented into this game I feel that only a Master BH should be able to take them. Obviously the Inv. line will need a major overhaul if this idea is to work, but it will give a Master BH a goal, a nice new perk to shoot for and a purpose once MBH is attained (something I understand many MBH's are searching for).
I don't know how you all feel, but I personally don't want player bounties implemented for all BH's, Pistol dabblers taking Player marks, destroying them with little to no resistance, anda torrent of newnerf cries about BH springing up. Maybe putting Player bounties in the Master box is a bit high...but it should certainly not be in the Novice BH box. Questions...? Comments...?
Flame away.
Agree.
Or at the very least, put them at Invest 3 or 4. Something unattainable by a dabbler.
MBHJust adding another tally.
Agreed = Player Bounties for Master BH
As a "dabbler" (but not the pistoleer kind), I totally agree that player bounties should be for the pure breeds. It would be easy, anyone who takes the bounty would automatically get a tef (as would the bounty) that would only be noticed when the cursor is dragged over them (sort of like when a rebel or imp gets a tef from killing faction NPCs). I'm assuming the programing part wouldn't be too much trouble to create a transfer system where you put the money in a terminal, place a date and timelimit for the bounties duration, and upon completion the money is transfered to teh bounty hunter who had the ability to take down their mark (a satisfying notification would be sent to the employer that his bounty has been completed....also a notifiction would be sent to the corpse saying that he has been marked when the bounty is placed).
Not bad for a dabbler huh? Don't worry I don't even call myself a bounty hunter, and yes I've worked on the investigation tree, and yes it sucks...
I totaly agree but when are we getting the big one? Our holy grail? When are we getting our problems fixed? Wepps has done great job but its getting old and fast all this nerf and waiting.

Hard to say, Wepp is doing a good job and has always told us what he hears. If anything it's the dev's faults for keeping him in the dark so much. Both commandos and bh have gotten stabbed int he back by the dev's by going behind the coorispondent's backs and making changes without talking to their so called represenatives (whom they seem to not like to listen to....). Any ways that ticks me off. But hey, they've been like this from the start so why would they change now...
/sigh
I'm tired of arguing with the devs and watching good professions be nerfed because of whinning. It's like some people want us all to have death stars and impenetrable force fields. Lame.
Put it at Inv 4.
There are some BH's who will still want to experiment with other classes and such. I say let them, keep your inv 4 and do whatever you like. Besides, in my mind, anyone with inv 4 is as much a BH as a master.
I myself do plan on mastering BH, but I see no reason why a BH can't focus on one weapon. As long as he still hunts Bounties (investiagtion line) he should still have access to the BH perks like player bounties.
As for creature mounts, I beleive they are trainable at Management 4, but could be wrong.
