The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 496	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:38:00 - [1] - Quote Would you like to see bounties and how would you like to see them implemented? I believe that bounties would be fun and add content. If I don't like Iron Wolf Saber for whatever reason I could just put a bounty on his head. During the battle his chevron would have a skull over it or over his name denoting the bounty. Whom every kills or assists killing him would receive part of the bounty equal to the amount lost. Bounties would give someway to grief other players that involves something besides emails and team killiing. I want core mechanics first and then drop suit variants but PVP and bounties need to happen soon. We need spice and the ability to create our own stories and emergent game play. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Yes, I know the whole "the game is dead", "CCP suxs" and "they ain't listening" spew so feel free to waste you time posting but I already know all that stuff and so does everyone else.
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 5530	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:45:00 - [2] - Quote I would like to see Eve's system borrowed, cept when you kill someone with a bounty you get a little UI indicator you just got paid or some sort of indicator there is a bounty to be claimed on the person. BPO items will hold 0 payout value.
Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 327	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:45:00 - [3] - Quote I'd enjoy this , while I don't have any to hate enough to put bounties on I'd love to collect some extra cash, I'm a merc after all right? Your idea seems sound enough Although may want to have it moved to the feedback/request section

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 5531	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:48:00 - [5] - Quote In addition, I would like to see corps be able to setup 'internal' bounties. Bounties that only get paid to its corp members. So lets say Imperfects have a serious axe to grind with cronos they can set it up so that all cronos targets pay imperfect members.
Krom Ganesh Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 46	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:56:00 - [6] - Quote Considering Dust is currently a lobby shooter and we are immortal, a traditional bounty system wouldn't work well. How about the bounty issuer creates a bounty pool with a set payout per kill? For example, if I set up a bounty on Iron Wolf Saber, I could set a 10 mil ISK bounty pool with a payout of 5k per kill. So every time someone kills IWS, they get 5k ISK until the 10 mil runs out. This system would mean you could (hopefully) pay for someone to be harassed.
The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 496	Posted - 2013.07.01 06:57:00 - [7] - Quote Corporate bounties also. I don't have any reason for putting bounties right now but I may later down the road and we need all the unique content we can get. To be honest I am just throwing some older ideas out so newer people can see and think about them. I think some of the problems we see in the forums with repeat threads is the failure to search or of search. I can't take the doom and gloom stuff anymore.
Xender17 Intrepidus XI Omega Commission 190	Posted - 2013.07.01 07:25:00 - [8] - Quote They would need to implement a tracking system...
Syther Shadows The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 181	Posted - 2013.07.01 07:29:00 - [9] - Quote idk feels kinda bland unless its PC battle and you notice one of your team mates has a large bounty and you see him in a expensive suit and you miss your shot and hit him by mistake i don't see any other use for this i mean if he is on the enemy team its not like your going to sift through the enemy team to find him unless he does a job of getting every ones attention I mean sure people will put bounty's on stuff but thats it idk ~ maybe a icon will appear above a body and you have to identify the merc and the person who sets the bounty will receive a little message saying your name here method of killing bounty victim or something like that idk really ~ i like the idea just i feel they shouldn't limit them selfs to just kill get reward forget
Chances Ghost Inf4m0us ROFL BROS 185	Posted - 2013.07.01 08:19:00 - [10] - Quote what would need to happen is a security status tag would need to be placed by their name when you see them . like in eve if you lose security status a little yellow/red skull spears by your name. this would make people with bounties easy to spot and would encourage people to target them first to get a bit extra payout. alternatively if thats to hard to put in theres also the way eve does it in that when someone has a bounty on their head on their character profile it would so "bounty" and also the information for the bounty. they put alot of work into revamping the bounty system in eve and i feel that with a little work it could easily be ported over to dust. this also adds another sort of career path for dust, that of bounty hunters. peolpe who seek to torment and farm people with bounties on their head.

Banning Hammer Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 108	Posted - 2013.07.01 08:33:00 - [11] - Quote Yes ! We need this ! ..how cool it will be to have an entire team hunting you down, and ignoring all the objectives for a big Bounty ? A 10,000,000 isk bounty .. can you imagine the chaos ? .....
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 146	Posted - 2013.07.01 08:41:00 - [12] - Quote Could we specialize the bounty? Say I want someone taken down with a forge gun specifically. 100% payout, Everything else is 50-75% or something... Just throwing ideas out there.
Chances Ghost Inf4m0us ROFL BROS 185	Posted - 2013.07.01 08:44:00 - [13] - Quote it would suffer the same drawbacks of the old eve system where players could just join FW matches and meet up to collect bounties on each other and roll in their newfound money laughing to the bank at all the dumb people who just gave them free ISK. thats something thats very hard to prevent and we shouldn't have bounties until there is some way to prevent that from happening (we want people to be rather put off by a large bounty on their head, outside of those that just love the idea of having a bounty on their head of course)

I have never done any bounty hunting in EVE so I don't know the details. What stops pilots from blowing up their friends for the bounty?

I have never done any bounty hunting in EVE so I don't know the details. What stops pilots from blowing up their friends for the bounty? before it was ship kills that released the bounty, people used to run in rookie ships and get blown up for the full payout for free money. now its pod kills, and the payout is based off of the clones value (if i remember corectly) so a vanilla clone with no implants doesnt pay out. so the person with the bounty on their head has to have a value in their clone and then lose it when their pod is killed, wich would mean they lose the money they just got for collecting their own bounty. i suppose the payout could be based off the cost of the gear they are wearing if this system would be transfered to dust,... hmmm i think i just fixed the problem
The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 498	Posted - 2013.07.01 09:44:00 - [17] - Quote That's how I see it working. The amount lost in gear is the amount paid in bounty. I think the 100k ISK to take out a bounty would work well. I think it is 100k to take it out and a 100k minimum bounty. I think when you kill a merc with a bounty it should give a messaged like "Paid" or "Bounty Collected". On that subject, when do we get the kill sound back? Murdering is not as much fun without the Gong O' Death. I really like pulling down a Precision Strike and hearing it dong a few times in a row.
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 161	Posted - 2013.07.01 11:40:00 - [18] - Quote Great idea. Put it on the SOONGäó burner so we can get a broken version of it in 4 or 5 years.

Karazantor Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 36	Posted - 2013.07.01 11:46:00 - [20] - Quote +1 to bounties. As already noted however they need to be set to reduce the chance of abuse as per EVE. Would definitely add something to the game, which it desperately needs at present.

TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 1330	Posted - 2013.07.04 05:20:00 - [22] - Quote This would be a cool system to put in place. I'd make it similar to Eve's bounty system: When you kill a clone, you get 20% of the market value of their current loadout transferred from their bounty pool to your wallet. I'd also like to see some kind of indicator when you hover over someone that they have a bounty, like an icon over their health bar or something.
Croned C0NTRA UNIT 38	Posted - 2013.07.04 05:29:00 - [23] - Quote I'd also like to see the ability to put a bounty on eveyone in a particular corp. So say I have a bone to pick with an enemy corp. I could try to ruin them by putting a bounty on all of their members and making pub battles miserable for them. This would give ISK a lot more value, as someone uber rich could potentially destroy a corp without even battling them.
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 4402	Posted - 2013.07.04 05:30:00 - [24] - Quote I feel like I would die a lot more often, so I'm gonna have to go with..... Yes.
