Pirate Bounty?

    So I was thinking a lot about this one and I hope you guys might like it too but anyways, what if we could have bountys on player pirates....?

    Like if someone kills somebody it puts that person's bounty up to 500 gold and keeps going up 500 gold for like every kill or 3 kills (or maybe less, that can be debatable) and it only counts for each individual pirate...

    How to get bountys? Well I feel like there should be no reason to add a bounty board in the taverns that track individual pirates that have killed and haven't had their bounty collected yet, just pick one up from the board and have it say where that pirate was last seen like how they do for the OoS voyages....

    Idk how that would go when trying to actually find someone you're hunting for in the same server, but maybe when you arrive at the island they were last seen at and they are not there, there should be like some really vague way of showing what direction they went off to or like some sort of sign that they had left in a certain direction, tracking skills stuff you know... Oh, and also, make it to where unless your bounty hasn't been collected already by another player pirate, have your bounty be carried over to different servers until your bounty gets collected by another player pirate, staring your bounty back to 0 or no bounty, until you kill someone again then bumped back up to 500 gold....

    Again was thinking about this for a while but I finally just want to hear some opinions on this idea let me know what you guys think cuz personally think it would be cool.... Another way to get gold, a funner way

    I've heard similar ideas and it would take some consideration to prevent abuse (two players trading kills etc.) But overall I really like the idea. Someone even said it could be it's own faction.

    Hell yea and it doesn't even have to be the way I described it either if they can make that idea better than me lol

    One other problem is when you only kill other pirates in defence. Suddenly you have a huge bounty on your head and everyone might go after you.

    As long as I get a wanted poster in the bar with a known kill count in that server I dont care how the system works.

    I don’t think it would be that great. Pirates hunting pirates because they killed some pirates. Why. And giving the locations of other players. That wouldn’t be ideal.

    I would say to keep the element of the game going tho just try to kill them before they kill you? But once you die once, your bounty returns to 0 and the crew that went to hunt down their bounty, like a voyage ends until they go to pick up another bounty from the taverns..... I would say just try to keep alive and kill ppl before they kill you cuz I'm not positive but I think they don't want to nerf it a bunch if they did make it..... besides unless you have one hell of a bounty from killing a bunch I don't you should have to worry also again how much gold that's included in said bountys doesn't have to be as much as I said it was you know that can definitely be optional to the developers linings if they wanted too...

    @nacmine I'm not trying to say that they like have to, just if they wanted and not saying "hey they are over here at this island" rather have just where they were last seen doesn't mean that they are there persay... Hold on nvm yea I see what you're saying on locations scratch that, pirates hunted eachother all the time back in those days, especially for gold. Pirates hunting Pirates? Why? For gold man!

    @xshaddow420x yes yes but no one cared if a pirate killed another pirate. That’s like saying o now this murderous guy in a ship got killed by another murderer. Let’s send a murder to kill the man who killed a murderer.

    @nacmine I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, what are you saying man? That nobody would be interested in killing another pirate for extra gold? Besides the loot that is able to be stolen?

    Like I actually don't see anything wrong sending a murderer to go and kill another murderer it pirate themed game for God sakes lol what if there was a dude on the bounty board that had like 5000 gold or so on there head wouldny the thrill of going and finding that guy not saying you have to set out for him but just like whenever you cross each others paths in the same server, also, have it set up to where it carries the bounty you already have on you into the next server so that way nobody can be all "oh I've got like 10,000 gold on me better leave this game so I can erase my bounty" so that way anyone in any server can have a chance to hunt him down and get that done, turn in your wanted poster with "an item of proof" or something to prove you've hunted the wanted pirate down show maybe a tavern npc character the will reward you your loot......... idk this right here^ was kind of just thought of right now lol srry I'm not trying to be a butt head or nothing bros I don't wanna offend anyone 😊

    @xshaddow420x looking back i may haved been phrasing this badly. I was more worried about the tracking. But your most recent makes it seem more like a bounty in gta. It kind of makes more sense to me now. As long as there’s no tracking then sounds pretty cool.

    @nacmine yea fair enough bud now that I think about it too it does sound kind of like GTA and yea scratch that tracking stuff my buddy and I were talking about it just a second ago cuz we both agreed that everybody would be probably pretty much be doing that only lol I was all like oooohhh..... lol

    Also I take back the whole when you kill your bounty guy and "an item of proof" drops cuz it's somewhat a challenge killing someone on the game itself and maybe it should get collected automatically aswell upon the killing the target, oh that and how about having an option to share the said bounty with your crew or not, like a share with crew option or something like that

    @xshaddow420x ya but the problem with that is then your crew is fighting over who actually kills the guy.

    Im no pirate.. i havent been since i started playing. I dont rob. Only fight off those who try to rob... its just how inplay... i dont fly jolly rodger. I dont kill other players for fun... but i do however get annoyed with repetitive abuse FROM pirates... thise scummy pkers that stay low lvl because they waste time killing ppl for literally no gain or recognition. As my pop always told me. "He who throws the first stone, risks boulders upon himself." If a pirate does as a pirate does and makes a hard time for players... a bounty option becomes available to place on the harassing party.

    Edit: i havent died to a pirate raid in a long while. Im usually all over it and i dont stick around long to give them the satisfaction of PvP. they can go back to searching for some1 whos interested.

    @kzoo-kid making it that you have to pay the bounty for the kill ie, I want you killed so I put my 500g in for anyone who gets the job done.
    That way no one would gain any extra and farm it.

    Yes I love spreading ideas that ppl can make more sense out of it as it gets talked through!! Thank you guys!! 😁😁

    @lord-danielw I don't think anyone would really utilize that feature if they had to put their own money up, honestly

  • Mr Happy Squid

    It'd be a better idea to introduce the "British Navy" faction and you can align with them to hunt Pirates.

    You'd have to declare as a "Pirate" and if you killed anyone not declared as a Pirate or a Navy worker, you'd get an increasing Bounty put on you.

    That would help a PvP system get put in place and give people something to do.

    Ill just leave this guy here..

    But in all seriousness... I like the idea, but it has to be done right. PvP is already frustrating for a lot of the player base, so putting targets on peoples heads is just going to make it more frustrating.. id say maybe you can place the bounty if you have been killed by the same person X amount of time

    @mr-happy-squid if obtaining money was easier rather than intense grinding I would place 5,000g for someone just for revenge. I would actually be interested in pvp and go hunt players.
    Just to imagine 3 galleons chasing a guy who stole and killed me!

    It would also be great if was for ppl harassing you and I would have to agree with that last post above this one bcuz I wouldn't like it if I got stolen from too but we're pirates, neutral sides neutral opinions and feelings towards eachother leaving the player to decide wether or not they want to do it if the idea were to be made
