Bounty Hunters

[Boxiom]

This is the best, how do you think this is any different from police work?

but now im gonna have loads of fun spamming tazers like crazy just as every bountyhunter does with their full auto PWD taZzZzzers

Taze on sight and then ask is the hardcore stuff.

That logic though. The "everyone does it"-excuse is getting old. Like I said, the problem is that there are no clear rules regarding this issue. If it's not against the rules to taze on sight, a lot of people will do it.

That logic though. 

Well since probably most of the rebels who choose to play as bounty hunters have complained alot on cops and apparently knows 10x better how to arrest and talk to people now plays with full auto 30clip tasers and 10/10 meta games and taze on sight without any RP, they can even buy intel about criminals location yet fail miserably to RP. The taser can even hit thru cars (and that is just insane) they even made it so you loose your current mag in the rifle when tased so as a criminal u have a very limited chance to even try making a escape. 

If the police have a tase on sight mentality the server would be dead.

Bounty hunters is non organised police with benefits since u don't need to ask anyone for permission for anything and that meta game photo is so horrible I just lack words for how bad it is, they have zero training and  act horribly against cops.

I appreciate you answer Boxiom =) I did not mean to offend all bountyhunters or put you all in the same corner, I was just voicing my concerns. I have no problem with the bountyhunters, as long as it goes RP wise. I am not one of those persons who thinks good roleplay is for my side to always win every confrontation. Good RP can also come from losing. So, when we meet ingame and I have a bounty, it will be interesting to see what happens ^^

I don't disagree with you, Jelly. Things are quite messy at the moment.

It's all good, I'm glad this is being brought up for discussion.

A lot of good RP can come form losing, indeed. I've failed miserably at identifying and capturing my target as a bounty hunter while still having a great time. Looking forward to hunting you guys down ^^

I've seen the good,the bad and the stupid with bounty hunters. It's the same with rebels,but the difference is you can make multiple millions off of one person so metagaming is going to happen for sheer greed. Track one person with a multiple million bounty with a 2.5K tip to find out what town they're near or make two coke runs with potential robbers,bounty hunters and police in the way the choice is yours.

Surely the "photo" that bounty hunters get are from police records so we should be able to do the same?

 

[Cool]

The "photos" that they all seem to have might be from secruity cams etc etc

 

[Snickersbar]

Bounty Hunters are basicly random civs given the strongest weapon in the game and told "Here you go have KoS rights on everybody!".

I'm left with no choice but to exercise minimum amount of roleplay followed by killing them as fast as possible. And never let them get closer than 100m..

Can someone clarify the teaming up rule? I have seen multiple bounty hunters rolling together.

 

[PLF Grannez]

Bounty hunters can go together, it's just that they cant team up with their rebel friends

 

[Cool]

Think its allowed Ive seen it so many time

 

[Lemmen]

Its confusingly written, You are allowed to team up as bounty hunters and roll together and share the bountys, you're not allowed as a bounty hunter to team up with your rebel friend, get them to do crimes then arrest them and share the bounty.

Having been in Law Enforcement I can tell you they are useless.  Usually poor quality, bad lighting and your barely able to tell any distinguishing features.  Most criminals do make some attempt to alter their appearance if they know they have a warrant for their arrest in my experience which also negates the using of photos.

This. And I certainly don't remember having a mid-killing photo shoot at any point. A change of clothes, head wear, glasses and vehicle makes the entire idea redundant. I was outside the drug dealer earlier with a friend, got repeatedly knocked out several times by a bounty hunter, I had little idea what he was doing in fact, but a friend 'saved' me.
