Share the bounty

[Neoco]

I think that players who assisted in taking down a specimen should also get bounty. I have three ways of doing this

• Everyone gets the same amount

Assuming a fleshpound is worth 200 pounds. 5 players kill it, they all get 200 pounds of bounty

• Assists get a partial amount

5 Players kill a fleshpound. The killer gets 200 pounds while the rest of the players get one half of what a fleshpound is worth which is 100 pounds

• Assists get a partial amount based on how much damage they have dealt

5 players kill a fleshpound. The killer gets 200 pounds and the rest of the players gain a percentage of the total bounty based on how much damage they have done

There is tons of money in the game and even more if people play intelligently. The last thing KF needs is even more of a reason for more people to spam fire at everything.

If such a system were implemented I'd prefer that the specimens give the same amount of money that they do now, but it would be split up proportionate to the damage each player does. This would make it a bit less painful watching people steal your kills by shooting specimens you have set on fire. It's not that I want to have the highest kill count, I just want to get my money back for the ammo I spend.

Sort of damaging to the Firebugs damage over time principle. Why use DoT when you can jsut M14 something to obliovion and get mass cash robbing everyone kills? This would force FB's to hose down all of their targets to squeeze out the extra cash.

What? I'm pretty sure if someone shoots a flaming specimen he gets the kill as it is, so really he's getting ALL of the money for stealing the firebug's kills. I think assist money would help the FB - you would see the money trickling in as your fire damages the specs over time, which is much better than getting nothing because some scumbag with an M14 insists on shooting the ones you burn. On FF servers such players get incinerated.

Why in the world do the firebugs need to kill mobs? They get exp for damage and their costs are so little, they don't need tons of cash. What else are they going to buy?

Anyways, if firebugs are doing their job then they are killing mobs away from the group and getting kills that way.

 

[Undedd Jester]

Actually yeah good point. SUppose the bugs role is ignitions, not kills. Although it still encourages spraying a decapped bloat to rack up as much damage as possible in the shortest time

They would just have to make the damage over time reward for flaming enemies lower, then.

It amplifies when you keep putting the flame on them, anyway.

I've always been in favor of a damage-based reward system rather than kill-based.

proportional distribution based on damage. each specimen has it's damage points, just assign a dollar figure per point of damage done.

good idea, I fully support this.

this would make the game way too easy, EVERYONE would be walking around with LOAAAAAADS OF MONEEEEEEEY

Anything they want. It's not like you can't switch perks between waves. Firebugs deserve as much money as any other perk.
