I don't really like pvp myself but I wouldn't mind the pvp portion of the bounty if it wasn't for the fact that there is a negative marking system in play. I know I'm bad at pvp but I'm willing to go in and give it a go, stick with the team I get right to the end of every match. The problem with the bounties as they stand is that they punish you for this. I make a small bit of progress for a few matches and then one bad match and it's all wiped out in one go. I think having a pvp portion is not the worst thing in the world but they should have made allowances for the fact that not everyone is at the same level in pvp and especially since dying by any means results in loosing points compared to only getting points for kills with a specific damage type makes this a very punishing activity. By all means increase the amount of points needed to actually get the bounty completed but in return remove the penalty for deaths or at least only count deaths caused by the same damaged type as required to complete the bounty.

  • Yeah, I understand they like to motivate people into trying PvP but is this really the way? I don't like being pressured into the "Get good or die trying" attitude I've never had :/ I guess I need to try if I'm good enough and if I'm not, just abandon it then... I really wish there was at least some other equally challenging option.... As I don't mind challenges but... I am intimitated by the possibility of getting alot of points together, then getting really hardcore players in the opposing team who eat away all my points, with me being even more frustrated :/

  • Yeah, I don't like being punished for not topping the scoreboard. An average player should be able to unlock these with persistence.

  • I an the definition of average in pvp and I can confirm that without a doubt they are accomplishable. I did the pvp section of the bounties for thorn and bad juju in about three hours.

  • I've done the Bad Juju one, and I didn't mind the bounty because it did encourage you to try PvP, but it didn't penalise you for playing games where you get your backside kicked either. The problem with the Invective bounty is that your progress towards the bounty can plummet to 0.
