Suggestion - Add a player bounty system to Cyro

Cogo · April 2016

Respect to you and your clan, Mr @ZOS_BrianWheeler

This Orc would like to see a player driven Bounty system in Cyrodiil
My suggestion is to add flare to the Cyrodiil conflict. Not a new way to earn fast gold. (Or possible exploits)

The bounty system should have a public list, just like the leader boards for the current emperor positions.
Anyone could add a bounty to any player, in any alliance.
Players adds bounty by adding/paying with their own gold
The current bounty gets paid to THE player with the Killing blow on the target.
All the bounty gets removed with the killing blow.

Since the bounty get removed and rewarded ONLY to the killing blow, its should be harder to "exploit".

This would add flare!
A player driven bounty list, where wanted Commanders, ruthless gankers and other famous or infamous characters of the Cyrodiil Conflict could be found with a price on their heads!

What do you think? Again, this is only to add flare to the Cyrodiil community, drama and Immersion.

We already have a bounty system, it works like this...

so long as all pvp stays IN CYRODIIL, im cool with it

the moment any form of pvp invades pve areas though, then ill raise holy hell

5 potatoes on @Ghostbane s head

One carrot extra for tbagging!

Multi-faction guilds could put massive bounties on a few slippery characters for a fun guild event!

The biggest problem is that it would get boring quickly. Death is too meaninglesss and people die too often.

Why would i pay gold for someones death if he can just instantly respawn anyway? Also why would i pay gold if the person will die soon anyway even without bounty?

Taresgos · April 2016

We can do tbag in this game. Why the hell you want any other additional bounty?

They could make a option to turn on and off pvp o.o.

Like other MMOs do,you both have to consent to fighting. Once you consent and you kill that person, you're flagged for short amount of time. Seems pretty easy to avoid such things.

that would be so cool... is one of the few things I miss from WoW

Like the bounty idea as you put it but who would be so 'hopeless' to actually pay gold to c another player get killed

Someone on reddit seamed to post just what I suggested here. Seams I wasn't the only one with an idea like this?

Bumping this post again. Any interest to add something like this to PVP? If so, Any Dev who wants to comment?

dodgehopper_ESO · June 2016

This reminds me of SWG, therefore I approve of it.

Cogo · June 2016

Is there any way for me to send in this suggestion to ZoS other then post here?
@MissBizz do you know, please?

Stratforge · June 2016

It's a cool idea but you know that as soon as someone has a high enough bounty put on them they'd just have one of their friends on another alliance kill them.

Sure. And during that time, they glow like a lightbulb anywhere, for any noob to kill and collect.
Since its players gold, I see no issue.

In Imp City you can have your friends kill you for telvar stones. Difference with this bounty system would be your are shown and ANYONE who stumbles on you might get a payday.

The reason is flare. Not a new way to earn big or exploit

I'd probably just sit in Cropsford and put bounties on people who only PVE.

Then again the first thing I used to do in GTA was put a bounty on the lowest ranked person on the server and watch from my tv.

Rune_Relic · June 2016

Actually we have a nasty habit of 'pro' players taking out noobs for AP.

What if Players had different AP attached to their heads ?
That would force AP farmers to go after the better players.
The best players having the highest kill reward of all.
That should take the heat of the off the easy kills and give them a chance to get some combat experience.

Would that change the AP farming landscape of Cyrodiil as it exists ?

The difference between this and having a friend kill you for telvar stones is that the bounties would be crowdsourced. In the telvar situation at least one of you still had to do something to get the stones.
