@Gothix said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:

ould first cage evil player to caravan, and suceed

I would think the Bounty Hunter would get their "license" for their city's jail. Which means, that it would have to be a good city, and the evil doer will be sent to their city, even if it is zones away. Actually having to transport the criminal all the way to the jail, I think would be too much. The evil players already have a pretty big advantage in that only a "bounty hunter" can actually jail them, why make it that the bounty hunter has to actually guard them the whole way back as well?

@Shivashanti

Yes. You can be a citizen of a city without living in that city and instead living on the outskirts someplace else.

I hope they keep their original direction with all three playstyles and not letting any "extreme" faction get their way and "ruin" the game as so many others have been by BOTH sides

@Gothix

The way I read it, the criminal goes to the jail that the Bounty Hunter signed up at (??)

@PeachMcD

They already have a big fault when they said that "a third party can bail you out".. which means, that yes... your ALT should also be able to bail you out. With a third party being able to bail you out means, that there will be guild members whose sole job will be to farm gold to bail out their upper members. The actual jail system will most likely be rarely used except by people from smaller guilds or solo players.

This is the reason why I try to sport a non-commodity to be used for the actual bail out, in order to keep it from being farmable and actually have a repercussion for doing the crime. Already, only a bounty hunter can actually send an evil player to jail, which reduces the amount of times a player will be "applicable" for jail as it is.

If it doesn't affect everyone then you break the party in PVP and completely negate the FF. This doesn't seem right. It should injure all good players with PVP on.

" As soon as you do that, you will start taking damage from any AOE ability – including the ones cast by your part members or… yourself" implies that no one needs to worry about AoE attacks unless they have "PvP" turned on, which means that they would have to be directly attacked in order to be forced entered into PvP mode, which handles the case of Good hitting other Good players. And I think it does hit anyone with PvP toggled on which covers all aspects I think.

This all only matters, of course, if the attacker themself has "PvP" mode turned on. If not, then their AoE would not affect anyone. I think this is what @Prometheus is trying to say in his article, but I've just been trying to get more clarity on it.

Personally, I would think that the FF would only affect other "good" players hit by another "good" Player if the victim actually has PvP toggled on; however it should affect ALL players of the "Opposite' alignment of the attacker and Evil players regardless of PvP mode. Which means that "Evil" players should always be able to AoE both Good and Evil players, while good players should always be able to AoE Evil players and only Good players who have their PvP mode turned on (which will be the case if that player is actually in PvP and not just killing mobs). This way there is always a slight drawback to being evil other than a "potential" commodity bail out that can easily be farmed away and only occurs when "executed" by specific individuals.

@Prometheus

Is it possible to injure good players indirectly who are not in your "good" party when you have "PvP" mode turned on or does friendly fire only affect players in your own party?

Also, from what you said... just attacking a player changes your karma, then executing them changes it even more, and then if you loot them you change it more... so its all accumulative? however, the most change still only applies to the person who "executes" the player. Which means there will be an escape goat in each party who handles all the "executing" and looting and then distributing the loot afterwards.
