Bounty system upgrade
Hi,
I'm currently working on a bounty system upgrade and looking for more ideas. So if you have any ideas, please post them here!
Planned updates (some are already done and waiting for other stuff to be finished):
Other ideas we had that may be implemented if we get positive feedback:

Planned updates (some are already done and waiting for other stuff to be finished):
- Game UI for bounty list with ability to add bounties on other players
- When a player with an active bounty joins a room, there's a status message in chat saying so
- Leaving with an active bounty mid-fight counts as loss and would make the opponent claim it
- ToriBot would automatically set bounties on top active players several times a day
- Global quests and Steam achievements for claiming bounties
- No price increase for using bounty text (that's literally the main reason anyone uses bounty, a bit weird we charge extra for it)
Other ideas we had that may be implemented if we get positive feedback:
- When a user with an active bounty is in a public room, they get a booster that gives them TC (bounty price / 20) for every win - but decreases the bounty by the same amount.
The idea is to motivate players with a bounty to go online in public rooms that everyone can access (opposed to staying offline or just sitting locked up in a private room until one of their friends claims the prize).
- When a player gets a high enough streak in a public room, they get a bounty automatically set on them.
User gets streak 6 (not a decided value, but we're looking for something not too low yet still reachable without farming), they get some relatively small bounty set on them. Some questions we had about this when discussing internally were whether bounty should get increased as they reach higher streak and if so, to what point. Sounds a bit prone for abuse in general but if you like the idea we'll go ahead and see what can be done.
- Bounty types
"Defeat user", "Defeat and decap user", "Defeat and dismember user" - stuff like that.
- Forum profile customizations for claiming bounties
Not a fan of adding forum stuff for bounties personally, but it was suggested so yeah. If everyone wants it then I don't mind - just not sure how it'd work yet.
Really nice to see bounties coming back(actually I have forgotten about them lmao).
I just don't understand the forum profile customization thing. I just don't see why?
By the way it would be quite cool to have a number of bounties claimed on the profile.

A streak of 6 against different players in a public room will trigger a bounty?

I'll start with this: please, please do not include bounties in public tourney and lockdown rooms [including Etourney]; they already offer prizes. In betting servers or other ES events, it would be fun since the winner would get both the bounty and win the bet or rake and can get the decapprize as well.
About this and the GUI: Change the color from the casual grey. Make the player's name color as well as the bounty prize pop in the chat, in case people opted the newmenu off.
So...if the player with the bounty is one of the better players, they get free TC as they win more, while reducing the bounty that people can get if they beat them?
Probably need to find another alternative than that, or keep the boosters only for public servers. I got an idea down the post.
Rest of the post I'm neutral with. Maybe add a possible condition where you need to beat someone in a specific mod to claim it?

Same system that's getting updated, yes.

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, would only work in regular non-event static rooms.

There's going to be a chat notice that's same pale grey color as all other notices / status messages that appear in chat.

They're good, they get TC for it. Others want to claim the bounty while it's high, they gotta get good too - not something I'd consider a problem tbh.
Only going to work in public rooms as I mentioned in OP, yes.

Sounds nice but won't this be narrowing chances to claim the bounty too much when mod option is used?
few ideas
1 is a bit weird. Why not let people claim the bounty in a room with fewer users? If they want to rig the bounty it wouldn't really stop them - but it'd make impossible to claim bounties when there's not too many people online. Not really getting what this restriction is supposed to achieve.
2/3 don't sound bad (apart from ridiculously high bounty prices mentioned), perhaps can be used some time in future. Looks to be tied to number of people currently in the room again though (as opposed to number of unique users defeated by the one getting the bounty added on them), not sure why that'd be important.
