In DUST everyone is marked for termination every match.

Bounties make ZERO sense in this game.

This topic has been brought up already. The general consensus is that we should adopt the Eve Online style of bounty hunting which is one of the most balanced bounty systems so far.

Like title says. It's weird how GTA 5 has proper bounty system. yet dust has to implement one. Player has menu option to set bounty on anyone. Now in battle player name is marked for termination. At a extra SP a pop! Yup not ISK. BUT IN SP!

Surt Gods End.

Infraction: slept with my wife!!

Bounty : 3000SP!

And yeah before you cheeky ccp cheer leaders come on.. I know that gta online servers are down today. (buddy who worked with them on red dead is saying its has as much to do with PSN as on rockstars part) But my character is safe, and so is his apartment and bank account. Thanks for your concern.

True. but when I was thinking about it, is isk enough of a incentive? That's why started thinking about the extra SP.

Thats a ridiculous consensus to come to then.

This isn't a sandbox, your job is to kill the enemy team. You should not be punished for doing your job correctly.

Isk is incentive enough! On the hitmans side!


However there is a problem you don't get quite so many copies of spaceships as you do dropsuits.
People run specific ships and often do regular activities.

In EVE there is a reason not to loose your ships, they can put you back weeks! In DUST it only costs you 250,000 isk max per suit. So its not like you really have to protect an investment!

There needs to be a reason for someone to be fearful when a bounty is placed on their head. They shouldn't be looking forward to cannon fodder.

ISK is a much greater incentive since its something that you constantly need every time you finish a match.

The rewards become much greater if the Eve Online bounty system is adopted. Read the evelopedia concerning this on how the system works.

It also had the power of making the target suffer longer financially. If you do the math, the bounty target will have to lose 500 million ISK worth of suits, equipment, vehicles, etc. just to clear a 100 million ISK bounty assuming 20% of the value of the lost asset is subtracted from the bounty pool and added to the hunter's wallet.

Hopefully that will change once the player run economy is finally running and suits become exceedingly expensive. But that won't be for maybe another year at the earliest.

Man this would be awesome.

Could we make it so you have had to been killed by the person in a match a few times before you can place a bounty on them?

I know it breaks with the spirit of the whole thing, but I can see people abusing this and just putting bountys on the top players only.

I hope you don't think suits become too expensive! If suit prices are gonna up, your average joe is gonna need more than pub matches and bounties for income. I mean a lot more!

People can only place bounties if they have enough money. Also why spend money to grief someone? Especially since they can switch to std, and have pub match ambushes till they clear!

Which only emphasizes the importance of implementing PVE and better rewards for faction warfare.

what is the point of paying money to have someone killed when you know they will be killed anyways.

Are you willing to clear a 100 million ISK bounty by losing 500 million ISK worth of gear?

@monkey

How long does it take for you to lose 10 million ISK worth of stuff?

Do you even know how the bounty system works in Eve?

Penalize people who die a lot and don't contribute a damn thing to their team. They drag everyone else down and are generally a complete waste of a slot anyhow.

Everyone is shooting at whoever is in front of them at the moment. Who's going to to bounty hunting in the middle of a match?

What are they supposed to do? Walk through a sea of red dots to go find one in particular?

It works in EVE because EVE isn't constant PVP with someone always looking to put you down.
How the hell would anyone even know they were killed for a bounty when they have 16 red dots trying to kill them every moment they are on the field?

A bounty isn't going to increase the danger. We deploy to battle knowing we are going to be shot at. We budget for it.

Anyone specifically hunting someone on the battlefield is going to die more than his target due to ignoring all the more dangerous red dots on the field.

It's like playing assassin when every other person on the street is an assassin too and is looking to off you when you aren't paying attention.

It is an objective based team game. You do not punish people for doing their job correctly by slapping a giant "please kill me" sign on them. That's bull ****.
