If you get a bounty in a populated zone, it’s only a few minutes before five people drop out of the sky and spam cc until you die. And then you have to kill more of the opposing faction to get the assassin buff again.
I don’t know if it’s a property of the bounty debuff, but I’ve been combat bugged every time it’s happened and couldn’t even mount.
They should at least add a kill counter until you get a bounty so you know when to stop engaging in pvp for a while. It seems extremely inconsistent. I’ve killed over 50 people in a short period of time for Ripple in Space on an alt without seeing one, but then I killed only like 15 over an hour time space in Stormsong during an assault and got it. And these are honorable kills that were just tagged by someone in my party by the way, not killing blows if there’s any distinction in the amount of “threat” you get from that.
Having the buff shouldnt effect mounting but the quest will prevent flying and using flight paths…people still hearth out second they get it though which is lame.
Soooo, stop killing 10 people to get the buff? If you aren’t an assassin, you can’t get bounty marked, and people won’t drop in to collect your bag. It sounds like you want the reward of 15% damage buff, without the risk of people hunting you once marked.
I was thinking the same. Wants the extras but not the consequences of the buff. The fun of wPVP isn’t getting the buff or marked as an assassin. It’s killing the opposite faction though being marked can be fun as well.
See I knew that even out of an abomination of a post that the op created cool ideas can be spawned.
I’ll suggest people that are being camped or need help have a way of pinging the map for help…so everyone that is friendly in the vicinity gets an alert. Throw in some titles and rewards for killing and or being the hero of the day…
I don’t think the kill counter matters as much as you think it might.
I’ve gotten it almost randomly. I was solo, near other other alliance players who were fighting horde (during drustvar assault back when lots of people did those), and had just ran back to my corpse. I might have killed a couple of guys and then I got it.
My biggest beef is that now that I have the horde killer (slayer? whatever) achievement I don’t get any notice like the dramatic music when I have the buff.
I definitely don’t agree with removing the bounty system, because while it has it’s flaws, it’s definitely a great feature that promotes WPvP. However, I will say that flying has definitely ruined the fun of being a bounty and hunting one down. Still adamant that flying was an absolute horrible addition to Warmode and doesn’t promote a good environment for wpvp.
Bounties stay on you forever till you are killed by a player. (buff only applies to world zones) I’m tired of people getting a bounty and then leaving to remove the buff/reward for their death
No. Bounties are one of the most fun things for me personally ): because it allows me more pvp interactions due to players knowing where I am. Since flying came out it has been hard to get pvp interactions so bounties are great for me.
