I never got to finish posting the concept of this idea, as I was interrupted midway, and had to abandon the entire post. As such, this thread will cover everything about the "Bounty System".

It seems like this idea would be better suited for iEra or iZone, also shouldn't this thread be in future improvements?

It is pretty hard to get a good kill streak going on classic.

They have bountys on iZone in the Deathmatch thing

Zoologist · 05-13-2013

Still seems fun..maybe delteria could use it?

metal · 05-13-2013

seems more of a delteria/era thing not classic

Hmm. Would encourage people to run at .5 and heal, rather than just pk til they die.

And then the AP system totally saved the day.

I'd support the idea of a bounty/kill streak thing. Those folks down in MoD will surely love it!

Zazzi* · 05-14-2013

I have suggested a different kind of bounty on the delterian forums long ago here

I don't see why this shouldn't be added, we already adopted AP and other nuisance crap.

twilit · 05-14-2013

*reads reads reads* uh huh. uh huh. sounds good. ya.
.... wait.... o just a reward for hats and prizes.

Its a good idea, but do away with tokens and rewards; besides people would just go to MoD to kill today's top PKers several times and get tons on tokens.

However making this idea into a "bounty" score that is similar (but does not replace) AP.
-killing a player on Today's top PK board increases points based on same tier scale xerxes listed
-killing a player on Total top PK board offers slightly more points.
-killing a player with >50AP decreases score a lot.

The whole thing is a great idea, maybe if it was molded a little, just not for classic.

ufoburan · 05-16-2013

why does it have to involve a kill streak? just go by who has the most pks for the day. and what do you do if those players log off before they get hunted down and killed? just throw away those points for the day or just move up the next highest kill count player currently on? They could just make up some criminal npcs and have them locked up at the graal police station only to escape randomly and pop up in a random spot and the first player to pk and send the npc back to jail gets a gralat capture reward. kind of an eventish thing it might be more suitable for classic than a bounty system. i know i know im changing ppls ideas again

As such, this thread will cover everything about the "Bounty System". Make sure you read through everything before commenting below. Concept Spoiler Pk'ing is fine as is. If you think that, then I'd probably agree with you. However, I think it can be made more interesting if some sort of Bounty System was implemented. This would add more of a "predator and prey" sort of feel to the current player killing mechanics. Now, keep in mind that this this idea sounded very appealing to me on paper, but it's definitely flawed in one way or another. Mechanics Spoiler The Bounty System takes the top kill scoring players of the day and marks them with a bounty, indicated by a colored skull on top of the player's head. The color of the skull will be determined by the amount of player kills that the player has scored. Player's marked with the bounty can be killed by other player's and bounty alike to obtain BT (Bounty Tokens). These tokens can then be used to buy consumables, hats, and possibly other small cosmetics. After a player kills a marked player, the skull indicator disappears for that individual player, and he/she may no longer be able to kill the once marked player for tokens. Player's will not gain tokens by killing a marked player more than once, to prevent obvious token boosting. Marked player's can kill other marked player's for tokens. The higher a marked player's daily player kill score is, the more tokens they will grant upon kill. Following the Daily PK Score Ladder Least Concern 100-70 - 2 Bounty Tokens Slightly Dangerous 69-50 - 4 Bounty Tokens Standard Criminal 49-30 - 7 Bounty Tokens Seasoned Killer 29-6 - 9 Bounty Tokens Blood Thirsty 5-1 - 18 Bounty Tokens Thank you for taking your time to read.
