basic idea is to be able to take bounties from the agora,

there’s bounty boards everywhere so it’s not something we 100% need but it’d be a nice quality of life feature as well as giving players more reason to open the agora vs rn where it’s basically sits unopened by most of the playerbase

the agora is a very cool novelty and i appreciate the effort put into it but this addition would give it a useful function that the playerbase could benefit from

the four different ways i thought this could work are:

-every player with a bounty in that server shows up no matter what

-every player and rival npc with a bounty shows up no matter what (normal npcs are still exempt)

-every active bounty (player/npc) shows up no matter what

-players only show up in the agora if there bounty has increased ‘‘recently’’ aka while they where in the server

here’s the example i cooked to showcase what it could look like,

(this could probably look better but i’m a little out of practice with photoshop as i’ve only been using it for gfx stuff recently lol, feel free to suggest any changes to the ui)
Imgur

‘‘recent crimes’’ would be a small list of things they’ve done in that server

the rest of the information displayed would be similar to the current bounty board (but slightly washed/worn out to make the ui look a bit more unique and newspapery)

it’d show a washed out guild logo/affiliate logo (navy or assasin) with either their rank or just the name of the guild displayed using the guilds primary colour, as well as showing their rival (with the red/green to indicate if their rival is a positive or a negative rep)

on top of this if there aren’t any increased bounties/player bounties at all the agora would show up normally (this is mostly to reduce the amount of bounties that can show up, and it gives the bounty board a use in hunting npcs for bounty/getting npc rivals)

this would also help people who are serverhopping looking for bounties, as they can hop, check the paper, then hop again if there aren’t any high bounty players in that server (currently they can check with the leaderboard on the side and then go to a board but this just shortens the process)

as a replacement for the holdable bounty poster item you get when you hunt a bounty you can hold out the agora with the bounty being visible instead

last thing is that since they are ‘‘priority bounties’’ the gain from hunting them could be slightly increased, not too sure about this last one but it’s ultimately all just a suggestion anyway

if you have anything you think i could change to make this better/more reasonable you can tell me in the replies and I can mess with the mock up a bit more if neccessary

This can actually make bounty hunting way easier to access which is why I like this idea.

Cool idea I like it

Im against the idea of having an instant way to check the locations of your targets and not require their poster.

oh how come? figured it’d just save the hassle of finding the nearest bounty board

7

being part of the assassin syndicate could have its separate journal that shows good reps bounties too

(basically agora but for bad reps)

i mean, its not like its overpowered since it doesnt tell the specific location of the target, it just tells you what island the person is so you’ll still have to look for him on that island

9

oh that’s a neat idea actually i was talking to someone about it but i wasn’t sure how to implement bad rep too since it doesn’t make sense for them to be in the agora

10

i just dont know how it would be implemented in the game, like if it would totally replace the agora or you’d get two separate news

11

could just be a mostly visual change based on your rep, or you could have to switch manually at a stand at whitesummit and pay a small galleon fee for a ‘‘subscription’’ that lets you take contracts and bounties

12

at first i was thinking more that it could be something either exclusive to assassin syndicate members OR could be something you would get at whitesummit.

but maybe it could replace the agora, since after all the only change would be the “bounty hunting section” would show good reps instead of bad reps

yea . i like this idea it would make bounty hunting much easier

14

could show both since you can hunt a bounty as a bad rep

15

it could but then it would just be a direct upgrade to the agora so idk

also

maybe yea instead of just completely replacing the agora this new journal could be like an extra page or something, so you can read the agora for bad reps and this one for good reps (im not that serious with this one, my brain is starting to melt cus im eepy as hell)

16

i mean kinda(?) i’m not sure if it’s really a direct upgrade since good rep players wouldn’t benefit from being able to hunt contract targets in the first place, not really sure what the best way to implement contracts is still

mainly because it’d make the search too easy, and i think that having non-poster kill benefits should be left with navy and syndicate members

18

I would rather the hunt button on the Agora lead you to the nearest bounty board then highlight the bounty instead to prevent abuse, but very good idea aside from that.

Uh… you can’t have 2 rivals in the same server spawned in at once.

Just letting you know that this front page would be practically impossible due to the fact that only one player’s rival can spawn in at once, they have to be defeated before another one can have the chance to spawn.

Very very good idea, if a system like this was implemented, high renown players would actually have to be good at both pve and pvp to stay on top and not just be able to entirely avoid pvp, and would be a dream come QoL feature for hunting your rival.
