Bounty Hunter

Hey.

Since Bounty Hunters are barely used these days, how about making everybody being able to set Bountys and/or kill people for Bountys?
I think a lot more Bountys would be set and it'd be a lot more fun for the players than it is right now.

I don't know if Wil likes that tho, rofl.

I don't use bounty hunter at all because of the price. Siriously. 400-500 dollars to get someone killed, and you probably won't see him die ...

get a friend to put a bounty on you at minimum price.

hire 4~ PPA agents to protect you and camp out in a small level.

only do it when Wil's on because he takes BHer seriously.

Ppa is expensive though

GarethOmni · #7 04-22-2009, 01:35 AM

Yeah, but you get bang for your buck. PPA provides timed protection, BHer is more of a "Guaranteed Kill" kind of thing.

Frank's idea is awesome, we did that a while back and it was loads of fun.

So while you can pay to have someone killed once, you have another option to pay to be protected for a set amount of time. (Of course it's expensive, when you want to be protected for an extended amount of time! :P) I havent placed any bounties yet, does it really cost 4-500?

I support this idea.

Making a bounty hunter system public would be a great idea. And bounties could be set for any dollar amount, like Zodiac's.

It'd add something to do in the game. Much more fun way to earn money than digging up seashells.

Why?
Because it would wruin the whole theme of BHER and even Era, if they make it public, They would have to make it so thats other things to do... And like if eveyone is a bounty hunter.. Then who will they bounty?

Theme:
Over-priced
Under-developed
Nearly Inactive
No incentive to use the system {

"I'm angry at you, I payed $400ish to get you killed."
"OH **** MAN NOW I GOTTA CLICK REVIVE AND WAIT 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING MY BUSINESS. OKAY, YOU WIN THIS ROUND. AND SIDE NOTE: THAT 1 DEATH IN COMPARISON TO THE 10,938 OTHER DEATHS I HAVE IS TWICE AS EMBARRASSING."
}

The only thing that Bounty Hunter's doing right now is giving a select group of people guns they can use in raids.

Is that the kind of theme you think is good for the whole server of Era?

I don't mind Bounty Hunter being a business, but only if it gets fixed up to actually be reasonable. Otherwise, to the public, my friends!

It's a good idea (making Bounty Hunter public), and it's been considered for a while now. It will probably be public on the "new" Era, but there's not really any way to do this now without taking it from Wil (aka every single Soul).

BlueMelon · #13 04-23-2009, 10:08 PM

well i mean, If the price would be lower, Maybe a little Npc character at unstick like you grab it and it says:

"I have speacialised people that can do the job you want... ect" The the target menu comes up, pick your target, then "Ill get one of my members on it right away...blahblah ect."

Something like this.
And the price would be maybe Depending on the Kill/death ratio?
Just an idea

GarethOmni · #14 04-23-2009, 10:12 PM

Chris, you could make it public and keep it under Wil's control. Make both parties happy.

Just setup the BHer system so it's public BUT make it so a percentage of those bounties go to bher for providing the "bounty service" to people.

Sort of like "They get a cut" for giving them the info on the bounty.

That way not only do the players have an opportunity to make money off of bounties, you can keep the bher guns to their respectable tags so the bher members have an advantage and the business still makes a percentage off of their system being used.

Wil may not like this idea at first, but it would actually get him more money and make Bher more popular with the public, while letting the Bher members still have their "Bounty Hunter" status with their taglocked guns and maybe even having them get a higher percentage of the bounty because they arent just some random pubbie getting a bounty payout.

Edit: Not only this, but maybe for an extra fee you can pay for like 2 deaths instead of one.
And That fact that it might be public would ensure that the target would get more of a "oh crap there is a price on my head, watch out!" feeling.

Frankie · #15 04-23-2009, 10:23 PM

as much as I hate Wil and would find it funny if he lost his business, I think it's stupid to make it public. are you going to make PPA public too? if anyone can complete bounties anyone can offer protection, right? or what about food businesses? why have owners and workers when everyone should just be able to walk in the back and stock themselves?

it's a retarded concept.
