liking where this is going. (though I preferred to have bounty in the pvp worlds, seemed like more fun) the danger in using the teleport to target spell would be if he was with a team or even just one friend in multi there is a risk so I do like that aspect, maybe like a 5 sec delay before we can attack each other after teleport so prevent a 5v1 unfair match or to give opponent a chance to pot or prepare slightly. IM READY FOR BH RANKING

you all need to realise bounty hunter is different then how normal pking works in wilderness/pvpworlds so the split from wilderness/pvp worlds may not be much at all rlly and this could be something in a different style to get more people into pking in general

Here is a suggestion to help increase wilderness activity: the alced value required to enter BH should be level-dependant. what i mean by that is for a lvl 30-50 pure/character, 50k is a pretty good loot (considering current average loot being really bad) but for a pure/main of lvl 90-126, 50k is next to nothing in terms of loot. so what i suggest is something along the lines of:

-combat lvl 1-30: minimum 25k alc value
-combat lvl 30-50: minimum 50k alc value
-combat lvl 50-75: minimum 75k alc value
-combat lvl 75-100: minimum 100k alc value
-combat 100+: minimum 200k alc value

this would not add money into the game but it'd guarantee a base amount they would get which is good and it aleviates the problem of having to add extra loots.

for example, Player A, lvl 105, does not do BH and he goes pking with 60k risk, he will fight what he can find, thus not guaranteeing a 200k+ loot upon kill.

On the other hand, Player B, who is also lvl 105, goes pking with 220k risk, qualifying for BH since he has 200k+ risk @ combat lvl 100+, and he gets a target, who also risks 200k+ since it is in the BH system. Now I think that this alone would be incentive enough to make people use the BH system without adding additionnal rewards.

Don't poll this so soon :|
It seems all you've done is read a little bit of feedback from the last Dev Blog and decided to just stick it in this one and hope it passes. If you actually read the posts on this thread, it's evident this has no hope in passing. Personally i won't use it, i'm not a Pker. But please actually listen and take feedback from the people who use it. There's obviously a few people on here who will be affected by this and know what they're talking about. Listen to them.

You're so reluctant to update castle wars without consulting the "Castle Wars community", you won't even poll anything relating to Castle Wars until you ask them... Yet you don't do the same with the PvP community... Why is this? There are some people who play this game purely to Pk, yet you don't specifically ask them what they would like to see. You're too focused on trying to bring people to the wilderness and just ignoring the people who currently use it.

Let's be honest here, the Pking community isn't the biggest community in 07. Don't destroy it by ignoring their opinions and just hoping new people will start to use the wilderness, because seriously, the people who don't Pk currently aren't going to start anytime soon.

I won't even use Bounty Hunter but please don't rush this update. You've continuously changed Artisan following feedback, Please do the same for this one.

I'm not even going to give this a chance if it gets polled so soon :| It's not worth the risk.

You guys are expanding way too fast, its ruining the game. The community is no where near big enough to support 3-4 BH worlds. I think 1 in members and 1 in f2p would be perfect because it would populate the worlds, thus attracting more pkers. This will create a more dense bh pking population which will make the wilderness more active.

If I may also suggest another item to the poll. Reintroduce the poll question offering to cut down the worlds. I know this has already been asked and the poll didn't go through but I think the reason why that was is because people would bot and wanted more worlds to do it in. Now that botting has become a problem of the past, I'm sure the more active players would come to the logical agreement of cutting down the worlds to meet the player base. Doing so will create a large population in each world and make both the community and game more active.

TLDR: To increase activity, minimize the number of bh worlds to 1 in members and 1 in f2p. Also, reintroduce the poll to cut back on the worlds. The number of worlds has expanded way faster than the community. Once the community expands then reintroduce more worlds.

Thank you for reading.

If you implent it like discribed above, you're going to add another dead content.
Stop trying to get the wilderness active, as you will fail to do so no matter what you do at this stage.

- Wilderness is too big for the current player-base.



The only thing that could get really active and give us action long term, are the BH craters. The area has a perfect size.

I do believe that BH craters are the one and only way to go if you want to bring back Pvp action.

- Have both P2p & F2p 1 world each(!) & have med/high craters.

YOU GUYS SAY YOU LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE BUT YOU DON'T! NEARLY EVERYONE IN THIS POST THAT KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE ARE SAYING, ALL CAME TO AN AGREEMENT TO MINIMIZE THE WORLDS!

YOU ARE SIMPLY EXPANDING WAY TOO FAST AND THUS KILL THE PVP COMMUNITY!

YOU ARE SABATOGING YOUR OWN GAME!

REINTRODUCE THE POLL TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF WORLDS! EVERYONE HAS SEEN THE EFFECTS OF A HIGH AMOUNT OF WORLDS AND SMALL COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY IT WILL PASS THIS TIME.

DON'T RUIN OLDSCHOOL BY GUESSING WHAT WE WANT, INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY LISTENING!
