Shattered Kingdoms

How would you like it if you got jlooted and jailed by NPCs that spawn three to a room every time you take a step in a city room?

I hear it's supposed to be the best feeling in the world.

Voted to keep, but I say this as a tribunal leader who values and is thankful for the potential headaches that would be suffered were I forced to get even more involved in hunting down people solo. For those of you who are not in a tribunal or never have been, they can be pretty useful for giving you a chance to prepare, as well get a general idea of just where your enemy is in the wild.

They are fine as are and necessary especially for tribunals with very low member count.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

there could be other ways to alert you when an outlaw is about, perhaps scouts who dont attack but alert CB to the location of the lawbreaker? and honestly, if they were removed and that didnt happen giving tribunals all one spell would be neat!!

Unfortunately, the PK in SK is becoming more and more about NPCs wars than anything else. And bounty NPCs aren't the entire issue here.

Unless something is done in which player involvement required in PK is more than leading a group of NPCs and o all bash then I do not foresee a positive change.

Also, bounty NPCs really don't accomplish anything. I'd rather see strong NPCs guarding all entrances to a city, than continually spawning NPCs than can serious [REDACTED] you up. Let players play the game, not NPCs.

Ditch the bounty NPCs and make the strength and equipment of normal law NPCs scale based off available funds.

Interesting idea, but then the 'enemy' would just have to kill the same amount of NPCs to do far more economic damage to the tribunal. I'd almost prefer the opposite, way more NPCs with worse armor, just to slow down the others and annoy the pants off them.

I think it was VelvetWinter that said "don't do the crime if you can't do the time", and can't agree more. You are wanted for a reason, likely know it, and to think there aren't going to be bounty hunters after you for it is kinda ridiculous.

Also, I don't know much about the other tribunals, but the Talon could really use a Boba Fett-ish player (or NPC that could be sent to the wilds when the golden griffons are deployed via some commmand like 'tribunal apex-mob <character>' to hunt that character outside the country... I'm dreaming now, aren't I?)... period.

It's more like don't get captured if you don't want to do the time. Personally I think it awesome to build a huge outlaw list with tons of murders and loots.

The fact that you can create those long lists means that the bountymobs are not overpowered.
