i disagree because the person can be evil but the character be good. sure there could be some systems in place so a scam is recognized but that doesn't mean it can be seen at the time. good aligned characters may do scams because there's no retribution on them.
If @Finland was scammed by @FibS then Finland could place a bounty on FibS even if FibS is good. other wise FibS would get away with it unless Finland were to PM a human/demon to kill FibS or post a bounty outside of the game. If Phaethonas could see FibS had a bounty they might reconsider a trade. Now FibS reputation is lowered they'd have to clear the bounty or try to lie about it. If enough people placed a bounty because of the scams then FibS would have to leave and try to scam somewhere else.

People will realize that good aligned people can't have a bounty then they'd start to scam more because there's no retribution.

There are trade ui scams in other games. that last second swap out of an item or change the currency. I've heard about it. In warframe a buyer can PM a seller with the wrong amount of plat (premium currency). sometimes the seller catches it, usually if they have only a few items posted but many don't noticed it till they remove the post from the website.

I've seen Eve have groups that sacrifice a ship with drones to blow up a hauler. the friends warp in and scoop up the goods that survived. A bounty system could be used on all of the members even if they are all in good standing. This actually happened to me a number of years back. I lost 1.5b in 1 hauler.

@fibs

so anything other than instant and you're mad. got it.

@33hp

and i understand that but where's the stuff?

@fibs

a day to swap attributes they might as well sell that in the cash shop for 5$. i'm basing this on the 'those that can only play for 1 hour a day' statement. you're asking for less than 1 hour to swap attributes. I'm asking for a month which is reasonable.

are you going to complain if it take a year to swap alignments for beastkin and demons too?

@fibs

you're thinking of a legal reward for the capture of someone. example of FBI's most wanted or crime stoppers. I'm thinking of a bounty that is illegal, one that anyone can place a hit on anyone else with enough money.

if good aligned players are exempt then they'll be the scammers in the city. and they'll get no retaliation because they'll always be good aligned.

@fibs

i dont like the idea of being able to quickly change primary attributes. a month sounds good.

@jetah said in Will there be a way to change your Attributes?:

@fibs not really. I could argue that if they can't manage consistently long hours then they shouldn't be playing games or they could be playing more single player games.

How will someone who plays 1h a day, 7 hours a week, afford gear? How can afford the time to explore the other 2 planets? I'd suggest a different type of game, one that offers faster in and out.

It isn't up to you or me who deserves to or "should" play a game, nor is that important. What's important is who can play the game without needless hindrance, and that should be, at the risk of generalizing, everybody who wants to.

I worked and had about an hour or less to play a game before I went to bed. I didn't get in a game that required massive amounts of time, like Eve Online, TAB or WoW. I played Overwatch because I could get in and out in a timely manor. I never demanded or requested that other games change to suit my lack of game time.

If I were back to only having less than an hour of play time I wouldn't bother with an RPG. MOBA's or FPS would be my game of choice if they were quick enough to complete.

but it's boring any other way. If I want to put a bounty on someone I should be able to do it. regardless of their alignment.

I don't like it. That could be an excuse to to kill innocents! Try to think pkers that starts no sense bounty vs beastmen just to have fun, to eat fresh meat! I dislike it totally, I would accept it only to punish assassins and so on (so evil alignment).

if i don't like you i can put a bounty on you. what's stopping beastkin from putting bounties on demons and humans? absolutely nothing. matter of fact I'd be willing to bet that the beastkin will be wealthier than human or demon counterparts because of the non-pvp areas. Bounties shouldn't be limited to an alignment. it should be allowed on all or not exist.

Bounty systems are used to punish players, putting bounties on innocents doesn't make sense and would just turn it into a pointless griefing mechanic. What's stopping you from simply paying demons to kill beastmen, if you like that so much? You don't need a bounty mechanic for that.

bounties are used to get retribution/revenge. If you scammed me and you are good aligned I'd have no recourse but if I could place a bounty on you, you'd think twice about trying to scam me.

I've said on this thread, there are no innocents. by existing in the game you know full well that PvP that can happen and will happen.

@benseine

what if the guild disbands while i'm away.

@chrightt

that I'm aware of there are no levels here. so there will be no level 100 vs level 40.

I wouldn't mind a counter for odd stuff. WoW has this and it's interesting to know how many of things I've done. I wouldn't mind knowing which beast i've killed the most, which beastkin i've killed, how much i've mined, gathered, etc and how many humans i've killed.

@finland you can't break rules because they exist and you're 'good'.

@finland uh i don't need that as my only excuse though. but now i have to loot all the beastie corpse to find my resources.

@finland

you can't break a rule that doesn't exist.

@finland said in How Difficult for Beastkin to Turn Evil:

@geniehakeem cause all demons wants break the rules they wanna go kill easy peasy newbie that mostly wil be PVErs so beastmen players ;). I really doubt that demons will fight themself in tartars but mostly looks like they will organize invasions to kill beasts

what rules?

@mazikar

only reason I'd like to create a bounty is because it makes the world dangerous.

I can see it being exploited though.

@finland I figure if I sacrifice enough beastkin i'll turn good eventually.

@finland

I'll add that if there are 3 character slots then it would help with having 'alts'. my 1 demon could be all of my demon play styles.
