I want to preface this by saying I absolutely love the idea. It is so great, and a ton of fun. I hopped on today with the intent of playing with it some, and maybe bountying someone, then I was killed by an outfit make on an alt almost immediately and I just had to put a bounty on him.
However, I think a few changes need to be made for me to waste all of my money on it.
Price
So first off, I want to talk about the price of it. Right now, it is priced at 25 DBC and 22 for members. This seems a little high. I feel like people would be far more inclined to buy bounties if they only cost around 10-15 DBC.
Lets remember that you die a ton in this game, and there isn't a limit on how many bounties you can place. So, the price doesn't need to be particularly high to really make money, seeing as you have the ability to rely on volume here.
Value
Currently, you get 3 kills for a bounty. This amount is WAY too low. Dying is a major part of Planetside, and 3 kills can go by in an instant. In a Bio-farm, you can even get killed three times in a matter of seconds.
The amount of kills you get for a bounty needs to be at least 10, but 25 would be super nice.
XP offered
The XP isn't great, though I really don't think this is that big of an issue because no one really is ever going to do it for the XP. Everyone is going to do it because "fuck that max shitter" or "fuck that A2G farmer".
Bumping the XP amount to 250 would be nice though.
Visuals
The visuals for everyone but the bounty themselves are fantastic. I love the big BOUNTY HAS DIED thing on my screen when they get killed. I absolutely love knowing when they die. The mimimap spot icon is fantastic and could not be better.
The one thing that is really needed is an indicator for the bounty themselves. When a bounty is placed on you, you need to know. Plus, knowing who placed the bounty on you would be nice, though not necessary.
Overall
It is a great start, and with a few small tweaks, it could be absolutely amazing.
