When more content is released into the Bounty Hunter store, would you guys mind organizing it a bit? Perhaps put all melee weapons into one tab of the shop, all teleports into another, cosmetics in another, etc. You know, a bit like the Nightmare Zone shop.

Losing the clue box itself counts as some risk - you actually have to put time and trouble into earning emblems to buy them.

Most people pked before the bounty hunter update, therefor these points are just a bonus for them.

The thing you are missing is your in the minority

The thing is sometimes the community doesn't know what's good for itself, I'm not saying I'm right about this but this is an example of convenience updates taken to far. I like things like the superheat queue but this isn't a matter of making something convenient, it's making something easier.

Maybe instead of working on updates, work on the server issues until the problem is resolved or at least give us some more information.
Different teams - the sysadmin team is already doing what they can to ameliorate that. Since Mods Reach and I are content developers, we're not going to be able to help them do it any faster. So there'd be no actual benefit in cancelling all game updates.

I understand that, but can we not at least have a little bit more information - even if its to say there is no information at this point. So many people seem to be losing items (not me) but many of my friends. I won't do anything that will put my items at any risk. Hyperion ´s No. 1

As soon as we have something to share we will. Investigations are ongoing at the moment.

Community mods and content developers can do nothing to solve server/network issues. (A cleaner can't bake bread when the baker is ill)

Are you saying cleaners can't bake bread ?
If you work as a cleaner, you won't be allowed to bake bread and sell that in an official bakery.

Same as Ash and Dan probably have a very basic understanding of the servers, but have nowhere near enough knowledge to actually start messing around with it.

Edit to post below: Definitely not the cleaner. This is however going completely besides the point. I was only trying to explain that working for a company doesn't mean you are able to do every type of job in that company.

Edit 2: Not at home currently, won't be on much today. You will never get anything for free. Anyone claiming that is trying to scam, lure or hijack you.

Who does bake the bread when the baker is ill ?

Hugo:- I know exactly what you were trying to say, I'm just being silly - Are you never silly ? Add me please I'd like to discuss this further.

Whilst im happy to see more rewards in the shop, the server issues atm are making it VERY hard to PK without DCing and losing whatever emblem/untradeables you were wearing. This is making BH worlds less and less populated, to the point where most of my targets seem to be in lvl 50-54 wilderness and risk nothing.
Would it be possible to introduce like target bands depending on where you are in the wildy? So for example if im PKing in edge i only get assigned targets up to level 5 wildy, or if im at mage bank i only get assigned those in 50+ wild, or easts level 15+ wild etc.
Last night i got assigned 5 people in a row that were nowhere near me and were probably waiting with their team for me to run into multi, so i had to log each time and ended up with a 30 min pen. That coupled with the constant DC's just made me leave altogether.

People do often ask for "convenience" updates that I - personally - would prefer not to see happen to this old-school game.

after reading that i now know one of the OS Jmods have a brain on not turning this game into a mess :P

I'm not a pker, but wasn't the point of bounty hunter that pkers would make profit? With the emblem downgrade update, the "value" of emblems always stay the same unless the person who lose the fight doesn't bring an emblem (probably happens only when boosting?), or if the person dying has a tier 1 emblem (which I'm assuming doesn't degrade to dust). So the only profit the average pker gets now is from the tier 1 emblem which you have a chance to get after you kill a target, or from risking a tier 1 emblem which upgrades to tier 2.

Is there something I'm missing here?
