I've played Alora for a decent amount of time to notice one gargantuan flaw that I think could harm the community as Alora moves forward. PvP is a good thing and can often bring people to certain servers, however, Alora isn't a pk server and Bounty Hunter is not true PvP. My suggestion won't remove PvP from Alora, but instead will give more freedom to PvM players (which is about 95% of the Alora community) and challenge those who want to do PvP.

 

This is my suggestion:

 

An option to turn off bounty hunter, which won't stop pking but will stop some of these toxic pkers from ruining the fun for others.

 

Everyone who I have talked to, from people who have spent YEARS on the game to people who are trying the server out, have all told me one of their pet peeves. Nobody likes when you go into the wilderness and your target teleports to you IMMEDIATELY. This ruins the fun for the people who want to enjoy the server and reward some of these terrible pkers who just kill skillers (with the exception of P0P SM0KE because he's actually good).

 

At the end of the day, Alora isn't a pking server and players don't come to Alora to pk. Those who want to pk will still be able to do so but won't just be able to tele straight to a skiller and kill them them with no fight. PvP is all about people fighting back and there being a challenge. Most of these bounty hunter pkers don't have skill and would get waxed if they went up against someone who fought back.

 

Please take my suggestion into account as it is for the greater good of the community rather than tailoring the game and making it easy for a select few. I love this server and want to continue to see it grow!

I have had my fair share of being pk’d in the wildy while doing clues, mage arena mini game or wildy bosses, but IMO its part of the game. If you go into the wildy, expect to be pk’d. You can always make a scout or go scout the area yourself first. If there is a pker then come back and do your thing later. In the official server, bounty teleport is a magic skill in the normal magic book. With that said, I wouldn’t mind adding a longer cooldown to bounty teleporting.

I agree that it is part of the game and I don't have anything against pking. I just think that the tele is overused so that it spoon feeds some pkers into getting easy kills. Either a longer cool down or higher requirement would be useful, but I don't see why bounty hunter needs to be a thing. Let people pk by finding others naturally.

Buddy you started a couple of months before me.... don't start saying years. Besides, your opinion doesn't represent everyone's feelings. You don't pk, so why would you be against it?

I dont support the idea of "optional" bounty hunter as it has been apart of the game for years now and it will take away from pker's joining the server if it was removed.

 

Its the wilderness, dont go in it unless you are willing to potentially have to fight someone. If you are going into the wildy to skill. bring some gear incase you get a bounty target and fight back.

I understand it has been a part of the server for a while, but that doesn't mean a modification would be bad. I'm fine with going into the wildy at risk, however, the fact they can just tele right to you is broken and needs to be fixed. That's not true pking and won't bring pkers to the server

I think a longer timer on the teleport spell would do just fine.

I did start a few months before you. I'm also not the one saying I've been here a considerable amount of time.

Me saying it's been this way for years, is not my opinion. Thats a fact. 

YOUR opinion doesn't represent everyone's feelings either, yet here you are posting this. My opinion is worth just as much as yours, even if it doesn't align with your agenda.

Also, I do PK, and I also spend time in the wilderness, and I feel like Alora wouldn't benefit from this.

I said a decent amount of time, and the hours I have put in is decent. My opinion represents a large sample size of the community, and the fact you say Alora wouldn't benefit from this is mad. Nobody comes to Alora to pk, that's why pking is DEAD on the server.

Maybe you're ACTUALLY so new here, that instead of being okay with people not universally sharing your thoughts, you PM and flame them in-game for voicing their opinions.

Please respect everyone's opinion. You may debate but keep it civilized.  

 

You're a dipshit Joe, enjoy unemployment!

No Support. The point of the wildy is that is a high risk area where anyone can attack you. what you are suggesting is that we completely remove a key component that allows pkers to find people. I see no reason im removing BH tele as if you are going into the wilderness you should be able to accept that you have the potential to die.

Like some already said, it’s part of the game and it’s been like this for years, I don’t see any good argument to remove it. No support.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a large number of suggestions that include changing the whole purpose of the Wilderness simply just because people are afraid to get killed. If you enter the Wilderness you would expect to be attacked by others and in certain situations maybe even killed. There is zero reason to remove the Bounty Hunter Teleport from the Wilderness due to what I stated above but also it decreases the number of people that pk on Alora which is already at the bottom of the scale. If you don't want to get attacked or killed, don't enter the Wilderness, simple as that. Alora may very well be a PvM Server, but if you decide to do PvM in a PvP area it's all on you.
 
No support.
 
Also, if this suggestion topic is brought off-topic once more it will be closed.
