glad you felt the buzz of a kill maybe it time you put down your mineing lazors and pick up your guns and realy tast the lulz


Oh, right, because every pirate is there for the ~elite pvp~ inherent in popping ships who can't (or won't) fight back.

Just wait until the next time you run into a gatecamp. Or when you poke your little head into a wormhole. I'll be waiting.

The ability to post bounties directly from disliked forum posts is a good idea in theory but it will fail in implementation.

Everyone posting on their main has a pair and won't care about the bounty.

Everyone posting on an alt (like this character for instance) is, to be fair, a huge coward and won't ever undock in that character anyway. So they won't care about the bounty either.

Everyone else is fairly sane and as such won't be affected because they aren't posting garbage.

So in the end, no one will really care and much isk will be wasted for nothing. Which means it has a good shot of being implemented quickly.

While at the same time making sure that game balance is preserved so that the "innocent" can be targeted as well.

All in all, extremely well balanced... with only a few possible minor tweaks to consider here and there.


I really do think this is the key to this whole system, I am still just as much a target as I was before, pirates can still gank me, and they can still gate camp me. It really balances the playing field.

so you tastet pvp and liked it? great!

you should try doing it yourself. it feels even better :-)


One day I will, but for the moment I am happy developing my core skills and understanding just how to survive. For me PvP is the penultimate stage before the end game as it were.

For now, Im happy to cash in on people's need for weapons while now at least, funding others activity to fill my agenda.

As a total carebear who likes mining and making things who, up until last week was about to give up on this game because I felt that I would never be able to get revenge against all those who have wronged me (check my kill board, there is been a few).

I took a good look into this and rubbed my dirty miners hands together.

At last a way I can get my own back.

So today I sold my kill rights, all of them, and a few hours after doing so, a notification popped up saying a kill right had been completed.

I checked the kill boards.

My loss, 50m, their loss, 58m.

Victory.

Shortly after members of the pirate corp, threatened to come and find me and kill me. My simple reply, I have deep pockets, for every kill you make on me: I will add as a bounty on your corp, every kill right: I will sell.

I cant fight you, but others can and you will have to lose 5 x my loss for wronging me.

I swear, I could almost taste the pirate tears... Or is that carebear tears?

Now I understand why all them pirates for all these years complained so loudly as soon as there was any threat to their power. It was now time for them to feel like victims.

I have not once, in all of my game time in eve, felt like I had actually "won". I felt like the beaten up bottom of the pile pesant that gets kicked around all fhe time. I didnt make this kill, but it felt like I did and it felt good.

So much so I sent the people on the kill mail a thankyou email and some extra ISK with encouragement to keep up the good work.

Oh revenge is so sweet.

Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others.


Great Post +1. Pirate tears far greater than carebear tears.

The new bounty/killright system may not be perfect but it's so so so much better than the old way. Yay CCP.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Avoid the hate mail. Avoid retaliatory bounties. Know that your service provider is actively seeking out bounty hunters in hopes of coordinating their efforts against your targets.

Strike like a ghost in the night. Place your bounty with Discreet Bounties.


This seems legit.

I thought it might take months to receive such a prestigious endorsement. I'd like to thank the entire CCP team for implementing the tools to develop such a third-party service.

Special thanks to you, CCP Soundwave.


LOL

I'll go one better - send me your bounty isk and I'll double it!

I for one welcome the fact that the people I've killed and wronged will send so-called "pvp'ers" after me. More targets are always welcome.

So nice not to have seek the prey. It'll be the space equivalent of 'meals-on-wheels'.

Kind regards from Project Nemesis.

I say again.

The OP is exactly why there is no need for the hand of god that is CONCORD.

Players now have the means to enact consequence, in this great player driven game.

And the devs have confirmed that it worked as intended.

I haven't had time to play with the new expansion much, so I don't know much about the new bounty system. I know how to sell kill rights, but how do you buy them? I was just thinking the other day that the new system would be useless if the bounty is hiding in hisec, but killright trading sounds like the perfect solution, and I'd like to get in on this.

You'll never learn to pvp with that attitude. You don't need a lot of isk to pvp. Nor do you need a lot of skill points. You just need to get in a frigate and head out to LS, or FW. Starting to pvp in pricey ships is very bad idea. Learn to pvp in a cheap frigate and move up to a battlecruiser. If you've never pvped in a frigate it's difficult to counter them.


PS- On the other hand there is nothing wrong with sucking at pvp like me. Other than my pvp/fw alt my killboard is near bare, and my alt isn't exactly net positive. I know my skill set. I'm a good scout, good bait, good HIC pilot and fairly good logi. I'm also really good at running away, and breaking wormhole/POS camps. Currently I'm in LS plexing and doing PI.

I've been playing since 2003, Eve has no end game. That's the true beauty of it. You are always learning. Go grab a 12 pack of frigates and go get them blown up. The longer you wait, the less likely it is that you'll ever PVP and learn what Eve is really about.

I'll take some bounty if you carebears are giving out free bounty. Lol

It won't change how I play the game... bounty or no bounty, I'm still going to be out hunting for good fights.

I'm back!

I think people have a misconception about what a pirate is. Pirates are not in it for an adrenaline pvp fight where you say gf after it.

Pirates are there for the money and to make people cry. It is just like how it was in rl, a pirate, back in the sale and cannon era, would never attack a heavily armed vesale. They went after the traders, everything was about making the most money for the least risk.

It is the same in eve. So you cant be surprised when they run from fair fights or a fight they might lose...

Though after saying this i do miss my days in the united. Killing stupid people everyday is always good times.

This guy get's it. Couldn't have said that better myself.

On behalf of Amamake's finest, we come for the fight. Glad you've felt victory, but you haven't tasted the adrenaline we have.

I'm not talking about some roleplay yo-ho thing.

Literally, the adrenaline rush of that first fight, knowing the ship you built and travel with is in the balance, hoping you're smarter than the guy at the end of your guns. OP, that's what you're missing out on.

Since 2006, Heretic Army has welcomed your bounties, and we'll thank you for every "bounty hunter" you send Blink

Ha, just as I was making my adrenaline post.

Well, I guess that's how united was/is (they've always been very campy and averse to fighting)

...so speak for yourselves. Heretics legacy was started with low-sec frigate good-fighting, and camping is just fun in it's own hilarious right, but...well it probably comes down to the difference between Rancer and Amamake, and that is that the former is merely an artery of traffic while Amamake's III - 1 see's more fights than, I bet, 99% of celestials in eve
