I really enjoyed how it FORCED you into fighting people and having to get a kill out of them. I feel this stopped people from opting out of a fight because they might lose due to stats or gear.
The ADDITIONAL drops to killing targets was nice, however I would like to still receive the items they had when killed. Killing people for gear/return sets is nice, but profit from pking is great. Seeing as just in PVM and skilling, there are rewards for leveling to high stats, you shouldn't be financially punished for playing a part of the game, player killing.
Having regular pking worlds would be appreciated, and limiting only BH worlds would be nice. I would like to see a separation.
Biggest part of bounty hunter, is being able to see how you fair killwise against other plays. Competition is key!

How about adding the ability to be assigned a target in the wilderness? The target would have a similar combat level to yours. However, if players do not want a target, they can toggle this ability off. This way, players who don't want to bounty hunt wont be forced to. The bounty feature would only be introduced on certain worlds. Maybe the wilderness pk worlds.

This would not be as much of significant update compared to if an entirely new mini-game was released.

Original message details are unavailable.

- I liked Bh when it was all multi (but parts being multi would work as well). Made piling for kills by clans easy. (hehe).
- The fact that if you were barraged in the middle of the crater, you were virtually screwed, unless you managed to tank it out*

bounty hunter craters were never all multi..

and I have been a pker since 05, and I liked the idea of not being able to just leave after getting a non target kill. This gave me a few heart attacks after pking big loots :P

I have already written this on the forums twice, but I think that it is important that at least 1 JMod sees this argument, which they don't seem to have by now. Splitting PKers among 3 Pking worlds (nobody uses the second PvP world, and the only world with wilderness PKing is w2) would make it much more difficult to find fights, as some of the people from the two existing worlds would prefer to PK in BH for whatever reason.

But, since the JMods seem set on making this addition, here's what I liked about the two Bounty Hunter Systems:

Craters: Nothing, craters made it virtually impossible to profit off of pking, which, if it is the thing you most enjoyed in the game, forced you to spend more time doing things you didn't enjoy to make that cash back. The system was very flawed, giving you an incentive to run around the whole crater chasing someone who didn't want to fight you in order to be able to escape with your loot. This system failed on an epic scale with regards to pures attempting to pk, because it is very difficult, if not impossible for a pure, especially one without prayer, to tank for the 120 seconds or whatever it was allowing them to get out with non-target loot.

Worlds: BH worlds were one of the few updates I liked over 07-13. They made it possible for everybody to get good loot off of every drop, and the hourly target was like a special bonus. Surprisingly, I am not all too against the return of the PvP/BH items; there were MANY problems with them, but they were so expensive and temporary, that only extremely rich, or extremely good, people could afford to use them. A few of the problems that existed with those items would be fixed by having a real wilderness world with normal drops. DH fights and risk fights could still occur in the normal worlds (The new drops killed them b/c you got bad loot relative to risk), but it would likely draw people completely away from the "old wildy" and to BH worlds, which is not the best thing.

LEAVE AS IS.

Bounty Hunter World.

Reason: i can see alot of peoples enjoying it, as an Afk mode/ Moneymaking methoed, the one whit the Target ( And % of you chance for decent loot ) or whatever it was called. also this would make it more fun for an Pure / Berserker pure to FIg** there dou to Lower risk normal, Would be even possible for an decent good Loot compare to Normal worlds.
But Keep normal drop system outside of the Bounty hunter world - for rest of the peoples to enjoy Risk figthing each others


Bounty hunter crater.

This one im 100% against. for the reason, it was an Team / clan activety, if Solo peoples went in for an chance of killing someone 99% of the time, you end on getting an team/clan on your back, becours there stand in the middle or lurer you to kill someone whit no True valume, so you would risk yours exspensive Items...

bounty hunter worlds would be great, i have played for quite a while now and i never had so much fun as i did in bh worlds the target and e.p system was what made me play all this time, i have been playing since 2002 now and bh worlds/target/e.p systems were the most fun i had ever had.

I wouldnt like BH at all. Cmmon guys. It would only make pking more spread out then it already is. Why not just keep wilderness as it is? Even a safe pvp mini game is ruining the fun. It's way to less ppl in the community to even consider another pvp minigame. But thats my opinion !

Bounty worlds are a must for this game, replace PvP worlds with them, they force people in that world to pk in the wilderness instead all around the rs world making it nearly impossible to find fights. In bounty worlds since everyone in that world is in the wilderness makes edgeville packed and revives multi pking. THIS IS A ******* MUST FOR THIS GAME!!
