I just used 4 days of stam gain for 2 ticks towards bounty gold. Is this something that's going to continue forever? I don't mind using stam upgrading medals (anything beats the grind of leveling), but I'm guessing that a good portion of the community does.

 

Of course, just like before, the bounty board only has the same folks who have always been on there since the opt out was brought back.

Stam use will stay consistent across all PvP, yes.

As for the targets, surely only those who participate in PvP should appear on the BB, no? Fact is, there are still plenty of bounties available to take.

Minor fix but with the new system the bounty hunter medal should now read completed attacks, not completed bounty hunts for medal progress.


Screenshot everything!

Plenty of bounties? There must be another bounty board that I haven't found :) 

 

Joking aside, the bounty board is going to dwindle down to nothing at this pace. Already, 2 days after the opt out, there are less than 5 bounties posted. 

 

Back to the original point...If it's going to cost 250K stam for a gold medal....I'll pass.

The smasher medal should be fixed to bounty or xp loss attacks only since its a SMASHER medal not a pillow fight medal, the buff honor needs to be changed somehow since pvp season atks do not lose xp its kinda useless and if there is no xp loss i thinks its kinda dumb that you can be put on the  bounty board for it. The new system is kinda of a neat ideal but has some changes that can be made for sure. I only ask they admin keeps a open mind and listens to our comments and take them into consideration in the on going updates.

 

 

The buff honor really need to be fixed tho its useless lol a waits of skill points.

If you think about it, the DIAMOND medal requires 100,000 bounty attacks. This, in stamina, is 5,000,000 stamina.

 

Now if I was to calculate how long it would take me to gain 5 million stamina with my stam gain (124 an hour, which is higher than the average of FS I can say) it would take me about 4.6 years.

 

4.6 YEARS to gain this medal. Bearing in mind that I can't spend a single stamina on any of the other aspects of the game and my stamina can't overflow. To get a few diamond pixels on my profile page I have to invest over 4 years of just hitting people on the bounty board.

It's takes 5x more stamina to get the bounty medals compared to before the update

As for as costs, then there should be an alternative way to EARN stam to pay for these new costs, and I'm not talking about buying current stam. There needs to be something NEW! The costs are insane to PvP and it's an attack on players who enjoy that activity.

 

And in direct relation to 50 stam PvP costs, we are already seeing a direct correlation to the number of targets diminishing. NO ONE can afford to PvP in the long run! The players with the massive stam banks will rule until they don't have any more stam, then like the rest of the players, they won't play because of the costs until they refill their bank.

Yeeeees, most everything in this game nearly gave me a price sticker shock heart attack.

 

I'm adjusting slowly, but must work very very hard.

 

I get +10 base stam gain per hunt with a cost of 250k per 10.

 

24 hour PvP protection at 200k. 7 days at 1 mil and so forth.

 

I'm still coming to terms with the increase in price in the AH.

 

I too would like to have another way to get it quicker but them's the breaks, as they say.

 

Each day is another adventure in avoiding those that would take what I worked for. lol

 

 

And I must find a way to play around or with you and your new things without being buried by them.

I cant agree with you on that, most bounties posted dont even pay back the ticket cost- let alone the stamina. So basically its not economical for any player at any level to take, unlike the old system. Once seasons dies down it will only get worse. 

 

If I can make over 20k hunting (+ Xp) with 50 stamina, why would I ever take a bounty that pays on average less than 2.5k? Certainly not for any profit. Which only leaves to make the target lose Xp, in which case the old board would allow players to do it better. Of course the new system is posting more bounties but unlike before nobody is taking them, I've seen target up there for days without any hits. A 20k bounty needs a total of 3 million gold among gold stolen and added since last bounty. Why should it cost the poster so much for a single bounty when the target will always lose less than 3 levels per bounty?
