[ZS] what is this? Why was there a change with an obvious opening for abuse?

    Ive been out of the loop, lots of rules have changed since ive not played as activley, but there is this ONE change that is sticking out like a sore thumb to me.

    Bounty resets.

    It used to be... Your bounty would reset on two occasions.... You had not been listed in 24 hours, OR a number of days, (about 4 was my best guess) from the first time you got listed without ever being reset.

    I have one particular rival, that i have been fighting for well over a month, and never seen his bounty reset 1 funky time.

    Its wayy over what i can afford, and the guy is on my fight list.

    There is an obvious loophole for abuse in this change. all it would take is 2 friends to do a late night money transfer, daily and suddenly, the time/ cash / UN you have invested in your bounty becomes irrelevent. you can just keep a high bounty, and in turn, be unable to be listed by the folks on your fight list.


    Kano: I know you hate change back something that you've changed in the first place... but this loophole has got to be sewn shut.

    7 day reset?
    14 day reset?

    it has to reset sometime.

    Why should it reset?It should only reset if haven't been listed.Never heard of it resetting after 4 days.

    ill give you 3 reasons it should eventually reset...


    1. Trending- once a handful of people do it, everyone does it. guess what that means. The hitlist will no longer be active.

    2. Its ruins the point of building your properties, and investing your UN into them.

    3. Its abuse.... its being fingerd, and will unbalance the game... no one person should stay endlessly unlistable by EVERYONE on their fight list.


    and yes... It used to reset no mattter what after 3-5 days something like that.

    I have never heard of it just resetting after 4 days. A Dev will have to chime in on that one.

    People have high bounties for a lot of reason. Yes, a few use it to their advantage but over all i don't see that as a big issue.

    Not sure about ZS but in PC and VC it depends on how many bounty's ( hitlists) are put on that person each day right?? maybe others are listing the person each day so it stay up I know it another game friends/crew list each other to keep their price high, they also trap each other when done playing for the day so their enemies cannot touch them, (Lame, yes IMO,) and also it depends on the income/rule , but like I said don't know if that is how it works in ZS, so if you think there is a glitch send the link to support and they can have a look, but prob nothing will be looked at till Monday or Tuesday.

    I highly doubt that kano will do this. More then likely the player you have encountered has figured out a way to tick players off easily and keep there bounty at a high level for players to keep bounty him or her every single day. Best solution is if you really believe this player is using some form of cheat then send a message to support with there link. But there are many players in games who can consecutively keep there bounty at a high rate by making sure they get a bounty placed on them at least once a day keepiing it in the 24 hour period.

    You know,XP loss is still XP loss.If they get listed everyday,they are losing some XP.But the hit should eventually ramp up to where no one can list.When that happens,price should reset.Sure,there are ways to prolong it,im sure,but no account can get listed forever.

    Agreed with Lord you might be able to keep it up for weeks or even a month. But what goes up must go down. And to a player who can do this and lose just a little experience from one bounty a day and keep it up there congrats if its done the proper way with no form of bot or cheat method because it is smart playing so others cannot chain list you constantly.

    id like to make this clear. I am not accusing ANYONE of cheating, nor would I narc if i thought they where.

    for the record. They guys bounty did finnaly reset.

    I was really looking forward to work from kano on this. Just to know for sure if the bounty reset had been changed or not, and if so why.

    and to those who are doubting that the rule that im speaking of ever existed... be assured. It was there. Ive been in the feed cursing the name of somone who listed a player i had been waiting for 3 days to reset, and then 30 minutes later boom, back to base. And im not speaking of when there was problems with the servers dropping bounties reset, and rivals lost. this was ages ago.

    Just wondering if anyone playing zombie slayer... as in RIGHT NOW... has yet to see a point in bounty counters having an auto reset in a given amount of time.

    you cant keep a 5 tillion bounty forever. Trending will ruin the game.

    A bounty will reset if they are not listed for 24hrs. I wouldn't like to see anything put in place to make someones bounty reset after 24hrs, if that's what your asking.

    If players are prepared to keep putting up the cash to list someone and keep their bounty high, there is nothing wrong with that.

    Exp loss is exp loss.No account is listable forever.There will eventually be a slip up.
