OK, I can't hold it; where did you find this information? Because on live, the BH system was never opt-out. It was forced on the hunted by placing a bounty of 20K or higher. For the BH it was opt-in as it was their primary source of jobs, but for the rest it forced on them.

I'm sorry to say, but your reaction sounds like that of a man not being able to deal with valid points of insight. You, my good sir/madam, need to point out where the information about the BH system as you claim is being provided. Because it most certainly is not (!) being provided in this thread, just claimed by you. So, provide some evidence that supports your claim.

this is the stuff that kills the fun in pvp, you literally said that you wont ever flag up or bounty hunt planet side, If you dont have anything productive or helpful to add, kindly take it to another suggestion :). There is literally no point to you finding and creating arguments where there isnt any. So again I want to hear feedback and how everyone feels, but you arguing over nonsense over and over about the fine point of this thread title (3 words) isnt helping anyone and just creating drama.

I mean, while I totally agree with you. I have an alternative. That unless you're Flagged for PvP you cannot benefit from anything in the "officer" ranks of your faction. The GCW was intended to be a multi-faceted system allowing PvP and PvE. Saying your a General rank in the GCW and having access to everything that comes with it but don't PvP is like a " you have your cake and eat it too" situation.

I like this, although it creates issues when your running a multifaction group for the future harder content. I think it’s a great concept but then you wouldn’t have legendary warrior in the “hard mode” content. Not the biggest deal but I can see that leading to groups are harder to get together. Just a thought. I really like the train of thought though.

There are a significant number of people who will NEVER PVP. Stop trying to force it. This “generals are always TEFd would drive the non PVP players away in droves.

I appreciate the feedback, but in all fairness, this is a pvp thread, not a “stop trying for pvp thread” again I said something along those lines. Obviously lots to work out.

Does this mean that if a player is opted-in, another player has the ability to go to a BH terminal, type in/search for any opted-in player, and place a bounty on them? Or are you saying that if I choose to hunt at all, then I should be forced to be opted-in to the additional system?

I’m saying that if you choose to hunt someone, you must be opted in to the bh system before you can even get a bounty from the terminal. And most of the ideas were just that, ideas, not fully flushed out ideas or systems because I just wanted feedback and for the community to weigh in and staff to see them.

I hadn’t thought of your points for the autotick on bounties. I like the tieing to player money or something.

As the ongoing effort of making the bounty hunting system work, I had some ideas. I liked the fact that everyone could put bounties on everyone, obviously this leads to issues with traders, griefing, etc. So I agree with the change of opting in.

But I think for anyone who participates in bounty hunting MUST be opted in to get a Bounty from the terminal. If your going to hunt, it’s only fair you should be able to be hunted. I also think there should be a cooldown on opting in and then being able to opt out. If you opt in you can’t opt out for a day, 3 days, a week, someone smarter than I should figure out the appropriate time for that. Also I heard/read another idea from someone saying that being SF also ticks up a bounty. Every 15 minutes is a +250-500 credit increase on bounty or something along those lines.

As far as PvP goes, I understand most players are just starting and learning builds and gear on this server. But I want to see a HEALTHY, friendly, and fun PvP community. With both scheduled and spontaneous PvP would be preferred by most players, myself included. I don’t remember who suggested it, but I give them full credit, of anyone the rank of general is always SF, obviously a lot of kinks to work out. (Group content, med buffs from bots, etc) but I think that sort of idea would be fun. For you to enjoy the benefits of general, you also have some risk associated with it.

I didn’t see a thread for PvP or Bounty hunting so I made this one. But want to hear everyone’s ideas!
