Jones007 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Ever since the update, Bounty Hunter abuse is crazy. - Downing and then robbing or downing just to ensure no one else get them while their going after someone close by (not in group). - Downing and turning in for 2K bounty for something as stupid as two hit and runs. Two guys in Kavala square threw themselves at my car. I message police, go down to HQ (but not cops there) so I decide just to go to the court house and pay it off. Well, as soon as I step foot out of the car at the courthouse I get downed and turned in. RIP 12K in gear and by the time I get back my car got jacked. Total loss 20K - Group bounty hunters trying to force people to shoot at group member then request a new bounty hoping it's the person that just shot their friend. They revive their member then turn in the guy who was defending themselves. These three examples aren't isolated. Suggestions: - Bounty for Downing - someone who isn't on the BH's list. Maybe let the cops know if it happens > 2 times in a certain period. This one rule would solve a lot of BS. - Robbing / Doing illegal stuff - Disable it for bounty hunters. Similar to medics who can't chop cars and do illegal activities. - Small Bounties - 8K-10K or they don't show up for bounty hunters. Small petty shit happens all the time where you get 1K here or 2K here. Ruins the game play when you can lose everything over something so small with no ability to justify your actions. I think 1 BH months ago asked me what happened and cut me lose. 100% since then just down and drag your ass to the court house with little to no RP. - Losing all your stuff when turned in - If small bounty (8-10K) give player option at court house of paying their ticket off instead of going to jail. - Forcing Bounties - Time delay on getting bounties for new crimes. Make them go work for it not just follow gun fire, hit a request button and start downing. - Permanent Badge - You have to be a high ranking officer to be an undercover probably for good reasons. Why should BH be allowed to always hide their badge and never required to show? A few rogue BH can cause a bad experience for the masses. And no, I don't want to submit a video every time something like this happens or I would be playing 20% of the time and compiling videos the other 80%. Look forward to seeing some adjustment to this.

It is against server rules if no RP is initiated. - Robbing / Doing illegal stuff - This is an RP choice for the BH. Maybe they just enjoy stealing from wanted people - Small Bounties - Maybe I can do something about this, but this is not a new problem. - Losing all your stuff when turned in - Working as designed. Criminals don't get to keep guns when caught. - Forcing Bounties - They are vigilantes who are intervening. They will of course intervene if they think they can. - Permanent Badge - Rebels don't have a permanent badge, why should a civilian? A few rogue BH can cause a bad experience for the masses. And no, I don't want to submit a video every time something like this happens or I would be playing 20% of the time and compiling videos the other 80%. Look forward to seeing some adjustment to this.

Well I'd suggest taking that to a CM. There must have been some other reason they didn't take action... Link to comment

They aren't going to fix something that they just released even if 20 bounty hunters can group up and destroy the rebel experience... My only hope is that the Bounty hunter shenanigan dies down.. and its balanced again. Link to comment
Vincent WY Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 The only issue I see that needs to be tweaked is the small bounties. That gets annoying real quick when people run in front of you while you are driving or you zip tie your bounty's friends and get a 1k fine. Link to comment

BioHazard Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 That's a great idea, when a bounty hunter turns you in, you should at least get the chance to pay your ticket first. Ghost0fDawn likes this Link to comment

Oh yeah, maybe a talent or the bounty hunter can pay a small fee from his bounty to not allow him the ticket. Link to comment
friendlypilot Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) what about bounty hunter able to give tickets for small bountys 1-10k instead of direct to jail, scroll wheel on player - give ticket - automatically gives max ticket for the criminal but only to be done at the court house still to keep in line with the have to take to the court house deal or still send to jail , say he a nugget or something like bamf said , you could then get more RP with people trying talk way out of 1-10k tickets , this would increase RP for tickets of 1-10K now tell me why you got 2 manslaughters before i send you to jail ?

Because cops are required by their employer (the government) to process people in a manner set forth by said government (the Captains) You're free to insta-jail someone you don't like. It's not like we'll ban you for it. You'll likely receive punishment on the APD side for it though. Link to comment
