Bounties!!!

Some of you Bounty Hunters may find this hands on article quite an interesting read, especially as it discusses a possible bounty system!

Spoiler:

This was a brilliant find. Thank you so much, Sureshot!

No probs mate. I personally thought it was an awesome article and probably one of the better ones I've seen from E3 this year.

Now it begs the question, do we get player or NPC bounties?

I'm going to guess NPC bounties. I'm not sure if you've ever played SW: Bounty Hunter, but I assume a similar system will be in place for TOR. You accept a bounty, track him, and a game mechanic causes him to either run or fight when you approach when normally, if the bounty was not active, he would blend into the crowd and the player would waltz right by him.

Then again, player bounties could work similar to how they work in Red Dead Redemption - once a player kills enough other players (or guard/special NPCs, etc.) he becomes marked for all bounty hunters in the area and killing him brings in a reward. That might be a PvP server option.

I recall bounties on PC's also from SWG.. atleast I know I had a few while I played as my spy..

Yeah I'm guessing it might well be an NPC system as well but it'd be nice to have a player bounty system in place. They had an interesting idea in APB actually where if a player gained enough player kills then they would automatically become a high threat level and anyone on the opposing faction could take them out and collect the reward. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that for the PvP warzones, but I guess it could even work in the open world, presuming we could actually come across Galactic Republic players whilst in PvE.

I hope you can have player bounties like SWG, great find SS

I still think we could pull off player bounties without an implemented system, but this is great news anyway

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Spy !

We should make our own Guild Bounties to keep people on their toes in-game and perhaps to help with roleplaying. You know, like, "Vouda the Hutt's boys were taken out by a group of Chemlizards, wipe them out and bring back 10 Lizard Claws to show that the deed's been done".

Oh definitely. I'm sure once the game starts I'll be making an "E.P.O.C.H's Most Wanted" hit list to put in this section.

We already have Darka, Salazar and the SDI (we made a sort of alliance for enemy roleplaying, I recall).

Yeah, I noticed SDI have us on their hitlist! One of the members left a declaration of war on our recruitment thread. Haha!

How was Darka again ?
