Just came up with one of those 3am ideas...


Not sure if this has been discussed, but how about adapting some sort of Prestige system, like pilots have? Once a character has reached MBH, they then aquire BH Prestige points, to spend on, say, specialised items, or 'Reputation' points...


BH is one of the best profs in-game, but there's not a lot to back it up, when u've Mastered...nothing would re-kindle interest more than to see your name on that week's "Most Feared..." board

Hmmm.... not a bad thought.


How about at X points, you can hunt NPC or take a jedi mission however...


At Y points, you can do PLAYER BOUNTIES.


If you lose, you lose your prestige points and will be unable to take on another player bounty until such xp has been regained. If you win...well then the more points you bank up for the next time.


Kind of rings like jedi losing xp in a way...and would make being a BH a lot more for the hunt rather than the credits.


I like the idea.

Totally !!


There definately needs to be more interaction within the player communities..it's ok hunting jedi, but everybony's done something wrong..there should be more bounties out there to reflect it!!


The opportunity for players to place bounties as well ? Surely this is also something that could be incorporated...


Long live the struggle for Bounty Hunters Rights!!

The only way I could possibly see this happing though, is this:

Player A sets a bounty on player B

Player A goes to the terminal and sets the bounty according to a list of drop down menus.

The payout for player B comes from PLAYER A'S bank account.


Otherwise, everyone who annoys everyone else will place bounties and it will turn into a form of griefing. If the bounty comes from YOUR pocket... it will keep things limited and add more content to the people who choose to participate.


But it would absolutely be a hell of a lot of fun!!

Very good ideas IMO. But if player A puts a bounty on player B, the minimum they have to offer should be 700k or something, so that not everyone sets bounties on everyone else.



For example, Player B comes to a city he is not wanted in, keeps spamming, annoying people, etc. So the leader of Guild A (only the guild leader) puts a bounty on this guy's head. Payment is up front, and there is a 10% fee charged for this transaction (money sink), and the money is automatically drawn from the bank account. When the bounty is killed in 1 day, mission giver can't get his money back, but if the bounty is not killed that day, the money is paid back, but the 10% fee isn't.



Would be a LOT of fun!

Agreed. The monetary value should be set high to discourage any would-be griefers.


ALSO


There should be a limit on how many times X player can be put on the boards. Like, 3 times a week, etc...

Theres no way the jedi will allow any system that puts any one class on par with them, they would quite literally whine you to death.
