Bounty Hunters concept
« on: March 25, 2015, 03:31:57 pm »
Player1 assigns bounty Player2 1000 caps
When Player3 kills Player2 have reduced Player2 3000 experience points
Player3 receives reward 900 caps (10% tax Bounty hunters agency)
Experience can not fall lower than ~ 253 000 (23 lvl)
If you experience dropped on 23 level, 24 level perk does not work.

Formula:
1caps bet = 3x experience reduced
1caps bet -10%tax = bounty hunter award

This concept, the numbers can be corrected

B4 one of the pros get here I'd like to say that FOnline does have an original Bounty Hunter system, but I believe that it is exploitable so we ditched it :(  No idea what we've done with it so far... Sorry.

However I made an alternative system to Bounties already :) It's probably not what you think, but it's a damn fun new feature.

I agree, maybe if there just wasn't a reward we could create an honest justice system, where players sincerely hunt PKERS just for the sake of killing bad people. Kill a bluesuit, he goes to the cops tells them you're an ass, and bam a bounty gets created for you -> which is just your name on a list of assholes lol. Players can simply check the list for names they should shoot on sight. No exploits, but it could create a false reputation for players, but eh, that's politics right?

So, its only for nonPKers ?

My suggestion for all, is also deprived of exploits

I'd rather focus it on PVP only. But the solution to the exploits is above me. I can think of a million ideas but they can all be exploited some how. I'll leave this to Kilgore, he'll know what to do.

Solution: Everyone who offers a bounty to the bounty hunter NPCs raises the rep for the target. If you're willing to pony up a million caps, that's a million points of "You're dead."

Nah, the only justice you should be able to get is the one you can make by your own. Someone killed you by being sneaky or something? Grab a weapon and go kill him. He is too trong for you alone? Swarm him with 3 friends or whatever.
Justice doesn't exist, especially not here.

Yeah nice, so all PVP players will have huge bounty for killing dumbasses entering TC zones during combat or reno when it's crouwded. And get pissed off when farming. Great! I always say that if you are too stupid to stay alive, you die. And you say "brains over guns", I don't know how yours is working, but mine gave me the idee not to walk around unarmed.

Lol yeah sure do it because the only people that would collect on these bounties would be other pvpers of big factions that are good at the game. The "antipk" players in my experience simply aren't that good at PvP because that's something they are against doing. So it would come down to all the people with bounties on them collecting the bounties of other people with bounties on them. Makes little sense to me. Not to mention if there is a reward people will just kill their character with the bounty with one of their alts.

Yup, this was the generic exploit we can't seem to bypass. Someone should ask the gods for Kilgore's presence here lol, see what he says.

In F1, there were bounty hunters; Chris Avalone was their leader. Behind the Followers library.
No PCs=No exploit.
Dont want a bounty? Dont be an ass.

By the same token, dont BE an ass... got your ass kicked in New Reno? Deal. That's why it's there.

Well, in the mean time until we fix the bounty system, I made an alternative system for several towns. Very fun.
