Why is it that if I accept a bounty, the person who the bounty is on can re-bounty me?

I think that Bounties should be like GvG where you can not have a bounty placed on you for participation.

From the bounty page itself:

 

 Bounties can only be placed on players who have attacked you (this includes attacks by bounty hunters) within the last 48 hours and excludes players that you already have a bounty placed on and attacks that form part of a Guild Conflict.

 

 

It has always been this way, bounty hunters have protested this for over 10 years. Unfortunately,  I don't think hoof has any intentions of changing this......  Nor, in my opinion, should he....  It's the risk one takes.  Nobody likes being counter bountied, but it's a part of the game that should stay

 

It should also be added that Ladder hits are not eligible to be bountied.....

its fine the way it is, people who don't want to be labeled as "toxic" wont do it anyways - that's 99% of the playerbase, always nice to have a choice tho if the person bountying you is being nasty.

Because some players like to 100 stam clear bounties and this gives the hunted the chance to repay the kindness of the hunter by posting them for fun or for their guild to smash.

 

Don't want the risk that comes with pvp/bounty hunting then don't do it.

why is it toxic to post someone who has hit you ,thats what the bb is for

 

 

no need to change it just decrease the time from 48 hrs to 24

Once upon a time you had to accept and attempt an attack on the bounty board in order to be bountyable. They tweaked it tho, to once you accept, you risk being counter bountied. 1 time only tho.


For example: In the past I could post someone while they hit my bounty, defend fairly well against said person(s), and if my guildmates/ friends cleared that bounty on them while mine was still actively being hit, I could post em again. Etc.



Edit: Also if you remove counter bounties all together, the board dies. Pvp entails xp loss, gvg does not. Choose wisely!

i mean posting the bounty hunter

[BigGrim]

Nah. It gives people more time to get the Bounty in. It's more than fair at 48 hours.

trouble is there is no incentive for anyone to post now ,if they post from a dq hit they get abused ,if they post from a normal hit they get abused 

 

 if they post from a bounty hit well thats just all out wrong and cant be done (according to 99% of players )

 

  so now they just sit back and go oh well yep i got hit ,and move on

Except for the DQ, there's nothing new here.  It's always been this way.  Somebody will always whine, stomp their feet, send trash talk messages in PM's, they always have, probably always will ... 

 

But the board is just fine as is... it's the PvP dynamic that needs to be fixed.... 

 

Mid-levels (1500-2250 at least) have few active players.  I'm lucky to have one active player in range for the odd DQ.  As for gold to snag, there is none... Basically, I have no viable prey.

 

PvP ranges seriously need work so that can change, and the BB will light up, I can almost guarantee it.

[yghorbeviahn]

I'd love to see PvP Range be changed from +/- 10 levels to +/- 10% of your level (minnimun 10 levels)

 

level 10 - 10 levels range

level 110 - 11 levels range

level 300 - 30 levels range
level 4000 - 400 levels range

 

Or make it 5%, some tweaks here and there can be made, but it isn't good that the more you level up, the less likely you are to be able to PvP.

 

I think that'd be a VERY good change for the whole game, but I can see others disagreeing =P

Those that disagree would be the ones that send those notes....

[activeh1]

i think we all agree it needs tweaking ,i have no one in my range atm as well 

 

tbh im not sure what the answer is but increasing the level range would be a great start 

[Maehdros]

Increase pvp range +/- 10 levels above the current limit every 1,000 levels.


1000 - 1999 range is +/- 20
2000 - 2999 range is +/- 30
3000 - 3999 range is +/- 40
4000 - 4999 range is +/- 50

nice and simple i like it

[BadPenny]

^ this

 

When the ranges were increased for 200+ EoC was maybe 1k, and the player base was much much larger.  Come on cows, it's way past time for another adjustment to PvP ranges.....

Did you ever hear the tragedy of 10 stamina bounty free attacks? I thought not. It's not a story the cows would tell you...

bro, you would not saying this if you was person on bounty board getting smashing and losing 5 levels because then you having no option for doing anything to them and they getting smashing without risk and bounty hunter progress and smasher progress

 

Increase pvp range +/- 10 levels above the current limit every 1,000 levels.


1000 - 1999 range is +/- 20
2000 - 2999 range is +/- 30
3000 - 3999 range is +/- 40
4000 - 4999 range is +/- 50

I agreing bro, I can not counting how many times players over years saying this but very sad it will staying dream that not happening

 

is it logic? no 

 

good luck, maybe hcs will make opposite, they want increasing pvp and will decreasing attack rank from 10 to 5, it not logic but having higher chance than increasing or will give 1 more level lol
