Justice System Bounty Decay; Anyone know how much actually drops off daily?

Chuggernaut

Anyone got the hard number on how much gold drops off your bounty each day? I did the math based on the estimate in the forums of 20gp/3 minutes, and based on that it will take me 62 1/2 days before my bounty clears.

Well, earning a bounty of nearly 2 millions was surely fun... Btw, it's 22 per 3 minutes.
Stay out of towns and keep to cyrodiil or marry a rich dude.

lol it actually was, learned a lot about pick-pocketing. My only regret is the town I terrorized for two nights had no living livestock in it so I still need to work on that achievement.

500 per hour cant be that far off.

So at 22 gold/3 minutes ~ 10560 gold/day.

I'm still looking at 57ish days. That 2 extra gold really starts to add up lol!

Just checking in:

My bounty is now down to 425,996 gold, from 601,920 gold on April 26th (19 days later). Based on these numbers the estimate looks off. After 19 full days I should have degraded 200,640 gold. This would have put me at 401,280 gold, and not my current 425,996 gold. In fact based on the estimates it looks like I haven't gotten credit for 2 and 1/2 days of degrade.

That is some sloppy thievery, or a lot of murder.

I think it's cool that it's possible to get to the point where you're literally banned from towns with very little recourse, though. Just hope you're not the type to get whiny about it when you accidentally get caught by a guard due to lag or something, as others have occasionally complained about.

Also, good luck once the PvP aspect of the justice system is introduced.

Just checking in, down to 64,689 now!

@joshisanonymous to answer your question I am not! I'm fine with my bounty and knew going into it I'd be banned for a while. Maybe not from April 26th to still having a bounty now, but still cool with it lol! I was even able to sneak into town and respec without getting caught so overall its been fun! Plus I've now been completing parts of the game I missed or didn't know about, like the faction color for killing all the mini bosses in group dungeons, and things like that.

What is the PVP aspect of the Justice System supposed to entail?

By the way. Something I learned on the forums here.. When you level up your bounty goes up.. Maybe start a new toon for the time being

*sigh* Just turn yourself in, for Gosh sake! And then run like the devil! It will soon be over . . .

I don't know if there's a standard or not but I got a 29 gold bounty last night in Stonefalls and I literally had to wait an hour outside the city walls playing a lute for it to clear. I wonder if the crime determines the time and if you stand still will it take longer then questing and helping people. I was caught stealing and refused to pay, lost the guards attacking me level then refused to pay again.

That's true, but the absolute decay rate goes up as well, so they should effectively cancel each other out.
