There are going to be people in this game that will gank players and kill without reason.
It would be cool if a price was placed on that players head, some cash reward and recognition.
And there could be players with massive amounts of bounty, because they eluded escape for so long.
what do you think?

I think that is an excellent idea! if it does happen it should be the player that gets killed putting up a reward from say 5k to 100k and make the rewards stackable on the killer so they are pushed up a wanted list! They should add this as a prestiege class with appropriate skills! This may help with ganking and greifing!

I think this goes without saying that they will be doing this.  Remember early UO?  That's how it was done, the only problem is a lot of the PKers want to get high on the bounty list lol.  Nonetheless, it makes the game a lot of fun.  Most of all it weeds out the immature WoW players

I couldn't agree more with the bounty hunting system it will keep all the major pking in check,  and if they do add that feature then im sure bounty hunting guilds and strike parties will pop up everywere......  hmmm that might be fun being  the hunter or the hunted both ways its gonna be wild!

I think Bounty Hunting sounds really fun, but i dont think it need to be a feature. Anyone can become a bounty hunter, if they are smart and can hunt others in the community....and can stand the idea of beeing hated everywhere....

But the only feature thats is needed ist he full PvP, and that we already have.

Just spread the bounty in the community, some Bounty Hunter (player that dedicates time to find em) will begin the hunt...if the bounty is high enouge.

And the bounty hunter can get ripped of too, shit happens.....but it will slowley begin to create a underworld with famous bounty hunters and players that dont pay up....

But its the players and community that punishes, they wont ever get help from a bounty hunter again.

I agree. It should be a feature because with the skills, killing the PKer would be easier and might even make it posible to save the attaked player.

the only problem i can see with this is how it can be abused. what is stopping someone with a bounty on his/her head to just call up a friend to kill them then share the bounty that they get?

yeah, i see your point. it would make things interesting though.

another option that could work, is instead of paying someone to kill said person, you could pay an NPC some sort of fee and you get a card or something that sanctions you to take revenge on the TKer with no negitive consiquence for one kill or a short ammount of time.

 Thats a better idea, and no one could scam you that way.

Im pretty sure your guilds can post bounties and stuff like that.  We can suggest the prestige class when the BETA finally comes out

Yeah, there are pvp quests of some form, thats bounty hunting. And another than that, darkfall will give rebirth to mercenary clans, which haven't been seen in the newest mmorpg releases, and at least you can report a persons name to Fireblood Brotherhood and prize of their head, and one of our members will hunt the bitch down, if he fails, another will come, until bitch falls.

The whole point with the freedom this game will offer is that you could hire players yourself to hunt someone, you dont need a feature in the game to do it for you...jeez everyone who plays games these days wants something holding their hands.

Very well put open ended skill based system people can make their choices... And suffer the consequencies

sorry didn't read though the posts. but i think we should have a bounty payment thing in the game.

EVE online has it. i was a newbee and got a ton of money cus i killed a guy who was in a mining ship. afk or something. i just got my battle ship from a friend and this guy paid 1 billion isk for someone to kill this guy. was nice for me only playing a few weeks.

i was just searching online for a bounty hunting list for darkfall. i remember when asheron's call had one. not for pvp as it was the non-pvp servers. but they had a bunny and cow killer list. anyone who witness a inocent killing of a cow or rabibit was to screen cap them and post it online with there name. and ingame we'd all shun them for a week or make fun of them.  it was fun.

 

AV has stated that they are looking into ways of implementing tools for players to create bounties easier and for other players to become bounty hunters. The suggestion that they put in the spotlight was having something like wanted posters where you can place a bounty on someone's head.

 

That would be tight!

There are already bounty hunters btw . ... I have seen some hired in the past over a year ago. Several mercanary clans out there too.

Stop necroing things bro.
