Whatever happend to Wanted Status

Post by chesticles »

Why did they take that away? I think they should have made it work for hunters also. That way not only thiefs were penalized then it would be fair.

But anyways do you miss Wanted status or not?

ADD: Please if you vote post also ^^

No but it wouldnt be Wanted status it would be like "Hero" status or something. This is what could happen:

1)Thief gets wanted status
2)Hunter kills theif in wanted and gets Hero staus
3)Once in hero status, if killed by a thief, the hunter gets a job penalty similar to that of a thief's wanted status.

You still get punished then for doing the right thing, just with a step in between.

It's hard enough finding trades to rob that are more then 1* when your not 70+ and even if you do find a 2* + there's normally a high lvl hunter right there with it. Why should there be a limit to thieving when theres not a limit to trading?

The hunter gets a penalty for failing to do his job aka protect the innocent.

There isnt a limit to trading because trading keeps the economy going while thieving doesnt

I'm glad wanted status is gone, was soooooooooooooo annoying. Would get wanted status too much during job wars, I'd need to get my hunter friends to "remove" it for me lol.

I'm a hunter nowadays though, so eh lol.

We should stop treating people like objects, or at least treat our objects with more respect.

Wanted status was the shit, it proved that you were a real thief :P

I think they should just plain bring back the old job system, it was way better, what can I say?

Exactly my thoughts. The new system is in sooo many way worse than the good old system where you could do what you wanted. Popping was irritating but still, I really miss it.

I'd prefer that they implement the update when you attack someone and go pink (offender). Offender status will happen to them as they attack you back and it's basically a pvp session with the loser going to town. Would makes things more interesting :twisted:

Are you talkin about while the person is in jobsuit?

Also i think if they added the new job suits people would grind with them on which would make awesome fights out at grinding areas.

Nah kind of went off topic >.> but one of the versions has that supposedly (word from mouth) it's to help prevent bot problem I guess but only if they attack back while grinding.

New job suits for job rank would be nice though. Orange cape is basically a "suit" that would have people break out into fights in grinding areas just need people with guts to wear them.

Grinding in a thief suit is kickass though, we've done a full hunter trader party 80 cap generals for awhile but no one bothers to thief up =*( Need more people to suit up and grind to add some excitement.

Wanted status was fun but it seemed a lot of players pussed out and would stay hunter to not get wanted or would desuit when they became wanted.

After a thief kills to many hunters/traders he got Wanted status. It was like a symbol that this thief was badass. BUT there is a downside. If u get wanted status u get a penalty and cant job once u desuit until your wanted status is gone.

I think thats right correct me if i got some things wrong ^^
