yeah i agree with that 100%, but your system addresses the concern of 'people powergaming' (in my eyes) by giving other people an excuse to powergame

 

because here you're saying that "well if the system i propose may give right to powergaming players, that's the players who are the issue, not the system" which I 100% agree with actually; however, let me turn this around and say that if the system now without your ranks (in your eyes) promotes powergaming, than that's a problem with the players, not the system.

 

ergo, i don't think any system is going to change that people are going to want to powergame, and we should keep the simplistic way things are run now.

 

the other points on your post, imo are fine, i'm neutral towards their implementation 

thats a fair point.
theres a lot of Ifs in the system that probably wont change much and just cause more problems but maybe it wont , we wont know until we try it. But since the whole bounty boards thing has just been recently implemented i agree that  we should probably keep it simple for now.

No, I really really really really really really really do not want this

you just encourage powergaming from fucks with no class 

"yeah well I'm a marked men who's done THREE A RANKED MISSIONS!!!! you can't possibly win against me, Mr. ET!!!!"

 

I had a marked man basically tell me OOC that because I was playing a creature that was sort of monstery, i had to basically let him 1 shot me with golden weaponry

 

this would just add to this "well i'm a professional monster hunter so i can't lose" attitude that so many players have when I run events for them

 

no thanks.

more so a problem of that player rather than the system. A better rank just means youve just put more effort into it. Being a professional monster hunter doesnt mean you cant die.

That's certainly a fair concern, but moreso in the domain of the Game Moderation and Administration teams. On the Event Team, our goal is to bring roleplay to the widest array of players and thus it is not exactly beneficial for us to make a 'ranking' system to prevent newer players from having fun. I for one, recently held an event, and found that people were willing to change up how they were emoting in order to better follow the flow of the circumstances.

I havent been part of any recent events so maybe im just out of touch and people have actually changed. Hopefully it as you say and people learn to cooperate with ETs instead of wanting to be the hero that slayed the beast while ruining everyone elses experience.

I think bounties with aforementioned PK warnings are fine. As for the rest, it's mostly been implemented. ET ought to just make sure that they put a lot of thought into the RP and mementos acquired from events, which should sort out your other concerns. The ranking system is pretty unnecessary as it hinders dynamic roleplay; people who go to bounties unprepared will not succeed.

I agree, Its just that I've had too many experiences with someone just randomly joining a calm and organized RP fight and turning it into an ooc sh*t fest because he tries to explain why he could dodge my swing with a blackflip while simultaneously slicing my neck.

I like the ideas, and as Tirenas said above, a lot of this is already implemented. We already have recommended party numbers, and those are pretty on point in the sense that if you under prepare, there is a good chance you will be in a bad position and if you overprepare, loot will be spread out among more people, and the bounty simply won't be a challenge. To give an analogy, Billy the Kid wouldn't have been a threat or legend as he is today in American western 'mythology' if the United States had sent their entire army after them.

In a status I posted just an hour before, tomorrow I plan on implementing a more direct system of ranking for the different bounties, to clarify just how easy or difficult a bounty is in a clear sense, as well as describing what each ranking on the meter means. A guild system referring to rank-ups in bounties is possible, but you must understand that the system has been implemented now for one week, and we are not even an entire team, but merely a fraction of it. We are doing our best to provide an immersive experience with the materials available, and as we are only now really preparing to leave the 'experimental' stage, you can expect some deeper things available to those who seek higher rewards, tougher monsters or the opposite. 

 

Finally, in the Bounty Board section we have a thread regarding suggestions, such as these, and it is a thread I personally read daily and try to respond to relevant concerns/ideas.

Thanks!

+1 you're doing great , cant wait for the ranking system.
Also, I mostly just posted it here since my opinion is irrelevant and im really just rep farming

This is a bad attitude to have tbh. Once I saw an amazing event played out. Some of the best RP I've had came out of it. And the only thing people had to say after it all was;

((can we get an item??

It's disrespectful. Enjoy the RP. I know I'm not the best one to talk, but let's be real. If the only thing you OOCly strive for in RP are shinies, then a change of view should be in order. If your character only goes on hunts and such for relics, fine. But don't complain about it in OOC if the item isn't up to a standard.

I didnt mean it like that. I meant how there should atleast be something given that has use. I dont mind if  it made sense that the monster wouldnt drop anything because it was a ghost or something similar but if it was something like a giant bear then atleast give the players the choice to skin it afterwards and collect its hide that can actually be used in RP afterwards. but thats just me.

disagreed; bounties are good b/c they are simple please do not muck them up by turning them into WOW raids

you disagree on all of them? So you're okay with receiving useless named pieces of meat after hours of RP?

Bounty Boards

Just a little thread where I put what i want for the bounty boards as well as put in a small sketch to justify putting it in graphics subsection.

what I want:

A ranking system-

IE. F ranks - A rank. The higher the ranks the more challenging the bounties presented to them. One can rank up by doing a set amount of bounties for example:

F > E (2 F rank bounties) E>D (3 E rank bounties) D>C (3 D ranked bounties) C>B (4 C ranked bounties) B>A (4 A rank bounties + A trial?)

This can prevent things such as inexperienced players from powergaming in a bounty because they have little to no experience in RP fighting  and end up ruining the experience for other players.

Party Requirements , guilds ,and teams-

Some bounties should require a set # of people for you to take it. This promotes players to meet each other and experiencing new things.  For example, a bounty to take down a cockatrice would require no less that 4 people while something like a wyvern would need more. Possibly even making a small team of 4-5 people and managing to make a name for themselves as

adventurers .

Better Loot aka. RP Items-

Giving incentives for completing challenging tasks will give players more motivation to do more bounties. Who wants to fight a monster for an hour long and only end up with a renamed piece of monster meat that cant be used in RP at all. (im looking at you @sidmmvv )

PK bounties aka. You die for real-

Now hold on. before you click send on that shitpost hear me out. The more challenging the task the better the incentive. PK bounties could offer unique RP items such as Special Ore, Unique monster parts that can be used for crafting other RP items, or even in game knowledge of something like magic that would help the character to grow stronger or be more unique. This gives a more realistic feel as well as making sure that players prepare for the bounty at the best of their ability. Ofcourse the PK bounties would be need the A or B ranks to take to prevent people from just making alt characters that they could just PK anytime.

Idk, I'll edit the post when i think of more but for now thats it. See you in the next rep farm post.

But the spell is in essentially a bomb shell. Thats what I meant by portable. 

Ah i see. Well it can always be scaled down, the lore hasnt been written yet anyways.

Only thing I can see this used in rp / or used at all is like the Dwarven Rune cannon: In events and in Sieges as an offensive or defensive artillerypiece.

Idk, i could see it being used on Dread knights(or other spooks of the same size) or maybe even a medium sized group of enemies IRP.

There is no way you can get a portable t5 spell cannon haha. Medeusculors were accepted because they don't have ammo and are used just like a staff in terms of preparation. If you don't need mages to use t5 spell cannons then its to OP/not a medeusculor. GL though the art is superb.

Its  stuck to a wall though. So its not portable..

Most golems already PK on death so eh

Just a name, mostly because the amount of emotes it takes to charge and aim it would be slow enough for most enemies to run for cover except for slow big things like golems.

So a very large cannon...an oversized staff...etc etc.

Indeed.

But instead of a magician powering it , a gem imbued with a spell equal to a T5 Fire Evocationist 5 emote spell would be used
