[LCN] Bounty doubling

I believe that bounty increasing shouldn't be increased every time your listed if the lister is within your level range for example above you by 500 levels and this should make fighting within your own level range more common and higher level vs lower level less common.

So to break it down even further...

Example:

A level 3,000 wants to list a level 1,000 for the 1st time... his bounty is 30bill. Boom, hitlisted... bounty increases like it does now... fine.

A level 1,500 wants to list a level 1,000 for the 1st time... his bounty is 30bill. Boom, hitlisted.... Bounty DOES NOT increase like it did in the example above instead it reamins the same because its within range.

This could be an alternative idea to black listing because same level fighting will be more common and a higher level vs lower level can only last for so long unless a window is opened up for attacks.

if you can't defend yourself within your level limit then you're useless and shouldn't be playing LCN.

(edited to make polish understand)

 

I get the idea but I think in addition to what your hoping for it would allow for those past the 500 level cap to bounty that player more often for cheaper

 

How would it be cheaper for the people above the 500 limit? It would still double like it does now to an unaffordable price.

 

ahhh...I see...your post as a bit confusing the fist time through it. Initially u stated "I believe that bounty increasing because your listed should only occur when people are listing you who are more than 500 levels higher" than u went on to say "and your bounty should not change if someone 500 levels higher or below". I guess i focused more on the mis-wording of the second half of your statement, but I understand what your saying now.

With that said I do appreciate what your trying to do with this idea, but in the end it simply wouldnt be fair to have separate bounty pricing based on level. Basically it would be penalizing a player for being a higher level which simply should never happen. rising in level and getting stronger should be celebrated and rewarded rather than restricted, limited or penalized. What would be the point of leveling and raising ones income if they had to pay more for things such as bounties.

I would imagine that this idea stems from the belief that some higher levels "bully" lower levels with chain listings...correct? Personally I dont see this as bullying as 99.9% of the time there is a reason for it. Its just part of the game that every player including the highest of levels have to go through at some point. players of all levels just need to watch whos toes they are stepping on or who a player might be affiliated with and understand that any and all of their gaming actions offer both potential reward and consequence. Thats half the fun of these games and the ability to figure it out and deal with it is key to success.

 

Have to agree with polish on this one also. While there has been attempts to somewhat limit the amounts of bounties placed on a player. Doing it money wise is not the option. You can always try and try again about finding a limit solution to the bounty placed on a person. But i have to say good luck because that always seems to fall short to. Easiest solution is just keep building rule and playing. You will get up there one day and be bountied less because of how much it keeps costing for them to bounty you.

 

Sorry, i thought i made myself clear lol i'll edit later

How so? The bounty doubling already exists so it's only 1 step towards making this game more war friendly.... if this update was introduced and well received as a rule then higher levels would have a better case of presenting a zero bounty double in the future.

Like i said above, restrictions are already in place my idea opens then up slightly so again its not affecting higher levels at all.

Like i said on the above 2... the restrictions are already in place and this opens it... They are benifits to levelling now so they will also be a benifit to level if and when this update is put into action.

Kinda... I personally don't think anyone can be a bully ( i like to chain and be gangless, it's funny been a target )... this idea would actually technically make bullying more easier but only within the same level range.

From what i've seen on the various blacklisting idea threads people are annoyed of "higher level bullies" when in matter of fact they arn't they are just overpowered. This idea just tries to make people stay within the ranged limits instead of looking at much lower level targets.

So yes/no.

 

Your missing the point... this is LIFTING the listing limit not limiting it.

 

I just re-wrote it to hopefully make it more clearer.

 

Your limiting it lil jonny by asking it to be done by levels i understand what your trying to do but its not going to happen that way. I am not going to vote on this myself but you will see the votes will come in and probably sink it.

 

I really don't get how i'm limiting it but hey, i maybe blind :rofl: i just believe if you do lil step by lil step it could eventually end up lifting the entire bounty doubling idea as i really hate it personally.

Thats limiting it because the next time they get bountied they do not go up. Like i said i wish you luck with your idea but personally the bounties have always been an issue and i do not believe anytime soon there is going to be a fix for it. The best solution to being able to bounty someone yourself if your getting picked on is just keep building rule day in and day out. It will increase your costs and help you receive more money to help either equip counter or start bountying the player back.

 

As far as i am aware yes it does? If not after the 1st listing it does on the 2nd and 3rd.

Note: this will be the 2nd hit on this mobster in the last day or so. Recent hits will increase a mobsters hitlist cost.

Note: this will be the 5th hit on this mobster in the last day or so. Recent hits will increase a mobsters hitlist cost.

:think: (dammit this forum needs cool smileys like MW1 does.)

 

Yes doubling already exists....but if your idea were implemented how would it be fair that some will pay more while others will not. Personally ive spent a boat load of bucks listing players within my level range that had doubled, under your system i wouldnt of had to, do i get a refund...LOL. the fact that the players over 500 level ahead of someone wont be paying more than they always have isnt the punishment.....the fact those within 500 level dont have to pay is the punishment.


I totally get what your trying to do here and i respect it....but the way u have it currently planned out simply isnt fair.

 

in PC if some one is being listed by more than one person the price goes up each time, it does not matter if one person is doing the listing or a few, the whole idea of a bounty for me is to get even with someone, and the bounty price is also based on their rule , and the higher the price is, it lessens the bounties that can be set since not everyone can afford the price, so it works to keep from being bountied to many times in a 24 to 48 hours time frame , well at least in PC it works that way and it seems a good way to have it work, hope I conveyed this clearly

 

0 stars .... Lower levelled players get enough protection as it is.

 

it's unprotecting not protecting... read before you comment.
