Bounty is a Useless Feature.

[Aero Dynamo]

It all started with the introduction of the Mental Stat. As you know each player's colour [dot] will change according to Mental Stat. If a Player is Friendly the Dot will be White [Neutral]. If he is a bit mad dot will be pinkish and eventually if he goes Psycho the Dot will turn Full Red.

 

Now as we know before the Mental Stat the player with the bounty was easily identifiable cause he turned red. Then the every player on the map used to chase him. Now, It is almost Impossible to recognise who has a bounty and who doesn't as most of the people in the server are full reds.

 

Yesterday I came over some guys having a gunfight and I decided to join them. While fighting one of them I killed him and got the bounty on his head. I didn't even know he had it till then! I think Rockstar should do something about this Bounty Feature. It has Potential no doubt, But they should make some changes to it.

 

Changes Like:

 

1: Player with a bounty glows red [his dot]

2: Bounty amount should be increased [till 50k]

3: Separate Menu to indicate who has a bounty & who placed it on him

 

What do you Guys Think?

[HopalongCasidy]

I think you don't know what the term useless means, and I assume you have too small of a tv.

 

There is a skull icon on the map. It works fine for me. Bounties are useful to bait players towards you or to get the lobby after another. I agree their value should be upped a bit.

[juantrapriguez]

I'm not 100% sure but I think I could tell if someone had a bounty, because their blimp could have a skull and bones, idk I just know that I never had a problem telling the difference

 

Post above beat me to it lol

I can usually tell the difference.

 

but....how about change the mental stat to blue or something?

[InYeezusWeTrust]

Maybe you should upgrade your television or invest in glasses

Never had a problem with it. Bounties are easily identifiable with the skull and bones. But more $ for bounties would be good. Who needs $9000 dollars these days?

[Inked 1994]

Its easy to identify. Its not that hard to notice a difference between the blimps when one has a skull in the center.

[CatchMeTrolling]

Easily distinguishable, what really could be a problem is flying in a jet & having cops and player blips looking the same.

[999bats]

I think the blip should only change color based on violence towards other players. Me and my crew spent hours blowing sh*t up and shooting cops but are completely passive towards other players and all friendly, the red dot shouldnt be there just cause we are having fun.

...Yeah I never confuse. I have big ol' tv.

[Fireman Sam]

All you have to do is QUIT and join a new session.

 

That's what I do if I get bounty hunt on me.

Basically this, I only have a issue with identifying blips and other icons when playing on a smaller SD screen.

Not making fun, here, but I just kinda chuckled when I read the word, "blimp," and I immediately thought of the blimp in the game!

[MrWuggy]

I can easily distinguish bounties, but making it more conspicuous would do no harm.

Blip, Blimp,

 

Potato, Po...

 

Well you get it.

Pathetic. Stand your ground, and fight like a man.

 

OT: Your TV is too small, OP. Rockstar aren't about to buy you a 50 inch flatscreen, either lol.

[Alarming]

I don't find it a problem. Only problem I have is with the names on the map when there are heaps of people in one area.

[SkeptikAT]

I swear all these people who say they can't tell the difference between a psycho and a bounty are either:

 

1. partially blind

2. have a 12 inch monitor/tv

3. high as f*ck

I do this for fun lol

Yesterday I came over some guys having a gunfight and I decided to join them.

This needs to stop. Seriously. It annoys me like crazy when I'm paying some douche back, and a random person decides to feel the need to join in.

 

Don't be one of those people.

 

 

 

OT:

 

I don't have a problem with the bounty system. I'm psycho because I rage on cops, a lot. But I'm friendly towards players (unless provoked).

 

It's a skull now, no longer a red-dot.

Tell me about it. It's not their business, and if I needed their help, I'd ask it. If I don't, keep your nose out of it.

I miss the early days.

If someone was a total dic* you could just put a 9k bounty on them and they would go and hide in Eclipse Tower and wait it out.

[kushnstien]

I think OP was just confused when someone one got a bounty placed on them, all he saw was red dots and not the skull & bones(cause they were in Sandy shores or something)

[iTz i Makez HD]

When you get a bounty you appear as a skull, it's not useless

[Wombater]

The title is so misleading...

 

OT: Really? If you can't tell the difference, you should do something. Study, or something.I DON'T KNOW!

[grand theft spaghetti]

I killed the same guy with a bounty 3 times yesterday and never got the money. the game just kicked him from the session instead. rockstar cant add something without breaking something else.

[madmanaz]

It makes it pretty obvious. I mean, unless you don't have HD television... if you do, you'd easily see they're given a skull symbol.

 

I made the switch to HD about 5 years ago and not only was the visual difference almost sickening but the sound. Did you ever notice an electric high pitched whine from your tv? HD doesn't do that.

[Cragovich]

If you want to see what a bounty on someone is worth then just ring Lester, try place a bounty on said player and he'll stop you and tell you the amount on their head already.

 

It's longwinded but it helps me decide whether it's worth chasing them. Anything under 4k, I don't bother.
