Bounty Hunters?

[James Gang]

A couple of questions regarding bounty hunters.

#1. Are they supposed to initiate? Or can a bounty hunter just snipe down me from 1k away? Cause, I've NEVER had a bounty hunter initiate.

#2. Why do all bounty hunters refuse to talk after they have captured you, unless to tell you "don't combat log, we're recording"

Bounty hunter interactions currently suck. Luckily most bounty hunters suck, and only about 1 in 5 manage to take any of us in, but while I have gotten tons of good video of us killing bounty hunters, it would be far more interesting if they actually would talk.

1. Yes, everyone with a hostile intention, which includes being downed, needs initiation. Whereas it's through text messages or direct communication.

2. Every bounty hunter has their own way of "living". Not everyone out there is a friendly chap. But if you want to avoid being caught fast, stay away from Kavala.

im a bounty hunter that generally doesn't talk after catching you but i wont attack you for a hit and run or petty charges such as a few counts of unlawful detatainment. although if you remain on my list to long ill tell you to at least pay it off in 5 minutes or be arrested

10k+ is what i do, that is unless i run into a lower bounty that tries to start shit then i will arrest them

So what's with all the RDMing bounty hunters then?

1. They dont need to inititate in illegall areas.

2. Its not their job to talk with you, thats what the cops are for. What are you hoping to achieve by the bounty hunter talking with you? Him not jailing you are lost income for him

I'm not talking illegal areas. Well aware of the rules there.

Well, this is a role-playing game, I was hoping to you know, role play. Sitting in a car silently while some bounty hunter takes you in doesn't really represent good, or even poor role-play.

Just because they are not role playing the way you want to doesn't mean they are not role playing. 

What role play are you suggesting a BH should do when you are in his car?

also, this is a casual rp server, not hard core

So, you're suggesting that all the RDMing bounty hunters are role playing mutes?

I don't care WHAT they say, it would just be nice if they say something. I understand light role-playing sir. Light role-playing doesn't mean never speak does it?

Current RDMing/Mute Bounty Hunters in this game are doing nothing more than farming money. Which has 0 RP value, either light or hard-core.

There is a difference between not saying anything and breaking the server rules. You first put the mute and rdm as 2 different points, now you are mixing them together. My comment you quoted was regarding after you have been downed and restrained without being rdmed

Let me quote my initial post for you:

In my experience being hunted by bounty hunters, which, admittedly is relatively short. Never has one initiated on me. Not once.

Under only 1 circumstance has a bounty hunter that is hunting me ever said anything. As in a single word. Then what they told me was that I better not combat log, because they were recording me.

You are a retired admin, so you do not speak for the current administration of this server. So, while you seem to place no value on role-playing, the current server administration seems to consider it important, as the server constantly tells me that Asylum is first a role-playing game, and second an action game. Try playing sometime, watch the top right of the screen to see what I'm talking about.

Bounty hunter role play sucks right now. As in it doesn't exist, and includes a lot of RDMing.

I'm not saying (other than the RDMing) that they are breaking the rules. I'm just saying it sucks.

Hopefully that was clear enough for you to understand.

Did you happen to come from a more hardcore rp server by a chance?

Let me put it like this. When I bounty hunt(and follow the rules) I like to RP as the silent guy. I dont want to talk with my bounties and form a bond with them before I send them to jail, because then I will feel bad and release them, so therefor I decide to not respond to what they are saying.

You see, just because Im not saying anything doesnt mean im not RPing.

 

Seems like most of your complaints are regarding them RDMing you, make a player report.

 

Also I am willing to bet that most of those bounty hunters do in fact initiate, but you just dont understand the rules. I do place value in role playing, but I place value in that you can RP whatever you want and not forced RP.

On a side note, if these situations you are refering to happens in Kavala, then most of those players are new to the server and dont neccessary understand the rules

I don't know you, It is relatively unlikey you were one of the bounty hunters I am talking about. Maybe YOU play a great silent type bounty hunter. But, it looks to me like most people are just using bounties to farm money as fast as they can.

The occasional RDM downing and going to jail is not really a big issue. Only something like 1 in 5 bounty hunters have been successful with us recently. The firefights with them are generally fun. Providing I don't just get sniped out of no where, which really has only happened a couple times.

My crew and play this game for the interaction, as opposed to just playing COD or Battlefield or something. Imagine 2 scenarios in which involve a firefight. One of them is just 2 groups of people coming together and fighting, the second starts with those two groups engaging in some banter that leads up to the firefight. To me the second scenario is far more engaging, and is the reason I play Asylum rather than BF.

Seriously, RPing with you in game about you feeling bad for taking me in would be great, instead you choose to play the strong silent type, so you can just farm money without feeling bad about it. In my opinion, you are missing the point and the most engaging part of the game.

Naw not Kavala, I not _that_ new.

 

 

[Cynica]

As someone who plays exclusively bounty hunter let me put in my 2 cents.

As a bounty hunter, and say we are shit for arresting those who we are tracking despite having the exact same impact as us. Imagine just trying to hunt someone as a bounty hunter to pay the bills and you are constantly told you are shit because you play the game a bit differently, doesn't sound good, does it? 

As to why we don't say much when we have you in our custody is for a few reasons I'll address most of them. Remember that we are 9/10 out-numbered, and we know it. We are constantly on the lookout for your teammates while we are escorting you from point a to point b because we know that if we get ambushed we will more than likely lose an hours worth of work we just got done with someone combat logging on us after an hours worth of work.

Imagine doing a coke run only for your coke to disappear when you got to drug dealer...sucks don't it? No imagine that 3x a day...

While I encourage RP bounty hunter has neither the time or the place for it. If I want to RP with you I will do it on cop where I have the security of backup.

 

TL;DR Bounty hunter has it better than ever but still gets the shit end of the stick. We are degraded for doing bounty hunter even though it is harder. We don't have to RP just like you don't RP when you drop 5 guys on my 1 hatchback sport with only me in it.

The combat logging you guys experience is BS. I'm with you on that. I do not, have never, and will not combat log. Again, I'm NOT playing the game to make money, to be the biggest baddest gang, I am playing the game to have crazy experiences with guys like YOU. My gang is poor, we don't do Cartels all day every day like every other boring gang out there. We go around looking for people to interact with.

Shit, maybe we're the minority and we need to go to a more hard-core role playing server. Cause it doesn't seem like any one else here is really on board.

Unfortunately gangs like your just dont make it on this server, as much as I want them to.

Make it? What do you mean by make it? Meaning they get bored an leave? Or just don't make the Top 5 gangs chart?

I don't think any of us are concerned about the top 5 gangs chart.

[Cynica]

They end up getting angry and fizzle out.

[James Gang]

I don't think any of us are angry in any way. We're having a blast playing. Really, if my biggest bitch is that I want bounty hunters to talk more, not really a huge deal.

The cops are awesome here. You guys do a bang up job. Not sure what server you play on, Cynica doesn't sound familiar, but I love getting caught by the cops, it is always a blast.
