Bountys

I dont think it is ok to have over 30 bountys at one time on a person.

I agree....Im not just cryingabout it so the suggestion is unneeded...Im fine with bountys..it used to be a great way for lower levels to get a bit of pay back to people they cant defeat. Now the new system just allows people to abuse the system,placing 30,40,50 bountys by paying others to do it...it allows a lot of players who really might not even be very involved in the game to just sit back and put someone who really likes to play in the hosp all day everyday so they can just log in,log out,sit back and laugh ...i currently have a weirdo stalker who just bounties me non stop for no reason...litterally to fulfill their bullying mentality I suppose...so this recent experience really showed me how it allows people to just slowest push players out of any gaming experience just to get their rocks off......multis with large banks just sit back and try to ruin as much of peoples fun as possible....Im just saying that maybe the number of bountys a person can have should have a limit....not the number of bountys one can place themselves.......yeah,it can be overcome,but a huge percentage of players will just become inactive and move to a game they can actually play...and that sucks..I love torn a lot....really want to see more ppl play it..thanks for reading this if you did....lol

The older system was much better, minimum bounty price was based on level and you could only have 10 bounties on each person.

So instead of being able to place a hundred $10,000 bounties on heresy you had to pay $450,000 per bounty.

Exactly.....Id rather just have the old system back.....and also the buyoff feature would be nice so if you have the money ,you can buy them off and continue playing...this new system pushes new players to just stop playing and try a different game....its so obvious...ched!! Please can you re-work the system...maybe best of both systems....!. Anything but this new way please!!!,

PLEASE LIKE THIS THREAD IF YOU AGREEM...LETS GET THIS ON THE TABLE..

TORN CITY SHUTDOWN!!!,...LOL

The bounty system has taken a step sidewards.

It was never self regulating, it failed it's intended purpose.

The swapping of the 10 bounty limit from the target to the placer doesn't solve the problem.

The buy off feature needs a return, and the 10 bounty limit needs to be applied to both placer and target, and have a time delay applied to it to be effective.

Anything short of that and, well, you're stepping sidewards or backwards.

But I highly doubt it will be ever fixed, it took them years to update the system and they didn't even actually fix anything.

Not to mention it sucks being a bounty hunter these days, pay is too low, and too many merit hunters willing to take low priced bounties.

I agree with this suggestion. It should be a max of 10.

I forgot too add that it also sucks that bounty hunting doesnt have the payoff it used too. Its just a sad joke now...

Yeah I always find it really funny when a level 90 wastes their energy claiming a 50k bounty on me, it's like jesus christ dude don't you have a better source of income. At least in the old system they would get paid 500k.

The majority of hunters now are merit bounty hunters and not actual bounty hunters. It's unsustainable. Never thought I'd be asking for more regulation but that's exactly what is needed.

Also you can be hospitalized so back to back you cant buy morphs,Xanax ,search the city...you can be literally shut out of the game....an ched I know you wanna keep as many noobs loving this game as possible ..........we need more people to bump this thread and voice that the system needs untweaked......

I think that it is regulated for the most part; there is a reason the person got those bounties in the first place.

Regardless of reason....and actually there is not always a reason.....I even now have a stalker who bountys me for NO REASON...and regardless...haveing 60 bountys on you at a time is ridiculous...it just pushes some people out of the game....it needs to change..bountys are essential but not in excess ...with abuse. Just saying

If you play smart, bounties won't bother you regardless of why you got them to start with. For example, if you were to bounty me I'd simply fly around and only morphine out once every 4-5 hours [nerve bar full] if I wasn't flying around, if I was flying around I'd be sure to be on torn before I actually land.

whats wrong with the private security firm?

As Rino mentioned, there's flying. There's also having your faction mates bounty the crap out of the person putting bounties on you. There is also the option of your faction mates claiming the bounties. We do that in my faction, and typically give the money to the player that was bountied. There's also the unthinkable...at least unthinkable to most players in the game...if you messed up, apologize to the person putting bounties on you.



Point is, there is a lot you can do.

Yeah Im in the process of doing a lot of those......its true.you can deal with it in many ways....
