Thoughts On Hunted Mode.

Well if they’re going to have a reward tied to it (like extra xp) then yes. Otherwise it wouldn’t be balanced.

It wouldn’t make any sense to NOT have a reward with the mode since you have to do the last and one of the hardest quests. If one is going to do a no risk, no reward scenario, just make it unlockable from the start.

But I see where you’re coming from. I’ve never been interested in pvp in Minecraft anyway so I’m biased against pvp.

 

Thats why I asked for no xp buff too in an earlier post. Should of clarified, a different mode from hunted, hunted but no pros nor cons. Hunted can stay as it is but a normal pvp, no pros or cons.

Oh sorry, my bad.

 

Who would be the bystanders who get their night ruined by time stop?

 

Will never really take part in this unless I want the XP boost (not even sure how much it is) due to Wynn not being balanced around PvP.

Sure it's an interesting idea, but just dumb to take part in imo.

 

Detlas citizens, ofc! also maybe not but they don't move THAT often honestly, or we could use players (we take over a server perhaps with people in hunted mode)

 

If you choose to be in Hunted mode, nether PvP rules should be applied where the spell and sp are capped so everyone is about the same fighting ground (on the skill point level at least).

 

I would love Hunted Mode if it didn't drop your items. Have it drop all emeralds and other loot as well as some XP for whoever kills him instead of the double XP. Hunted Mode only really encourages you not to play when other people are on which kind of defies the whole point of an MMO. What if Hunted mode turned into Hunter mode where you instead got 2x loot and gathering speed but dropped emeralds, unIDed items, and ingredients/materials? This makes cities a safe haven where you can return your loot in peace and prevents the untradeable cheese. Not saying this is a balanced idea but I'm saying that the Hunted mode just doesn't really make sense in Wynn. Don't deter people from PVP, reward them instead.

 

Would be better if you could attack players from other worlds. One day maybe...

 

People just turn it on when using professions so that they can get extra xp, which seems a bit cheaty in my opinion, but hey, it's a feature.

 

Don't forget about spots like the starfish spot near Kandon-Beda, which is located inside the city's safezone, allowing people to level up fishing from 100 to 110 while being in hunted mode the whole time and thus literally get a free +50% exp boost without any downsides at all.

 

Perhaps change Hunted Mode to... Bounty Hunting? I mean, not sure whether the bounties will be player-assigned or randomly generated but I guess Bounty Hunting could be fun, but usually fun, maybe not practical

 

I don't play Hunted Mode, nor do I think I ever will, but I think it's a nice addition simply for the event opportunities it creates. Someone could organise a giveaway where they pit twenty people against each other, whoever wins gets a stack of LE or something.

 

I mean, you can't? At least not with their normal gear.
At the very least, I wouldn't use my normal gear, which mind you, I don't have strong alternatives in untradeable items.
I would be massively weaker, and at a disadvantage due to it.

 

Using hunted to level professions faster.
But I never get hunted cause 60% of the hunters are guildmembers, 35% are friends, and the other 5% doesn't seem to bother killing me.

 

Actually I think taking away xp (probably from both professions and combat) is a good penalty which you can't go around

 

put a "too lazy" option
I'm pretty sure quite a lot of players that have done a hunter's calling is just too lazy to switch from normal to hunted mode i.e. me with 7 classes done hunter's calling.

 

Removing XP would break too many things. What happens if you start a lv. 98 quest and now you're lv 97? What if you can no longer use your only weapon? It'd be too buggy to take away a resource like xp.

 

You could have it so that it doesn't go down past the level.
I remember that other Rpg, that died and I forgot the name to, did that.
Not agreeing or disagreeing with the idea, simply trying to expand upon what he said.

 

What if u get a kill token, similar to dogtag where u could trade them for item/xp boost/cosmetic?/untradable item?
Ofc every player will get a delay/timer (around 1 hour seems fair) so u can’t spam kill your alt
Make it that u don’t drop item, there
I? Fixed boring hunted mode
