Valandil Dragonhart.2371 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yes, hahaha, it was all very funny the first 3 (dozen) times it happened. Can you please lighten up on the RNG for bounties so some of us might actually want to complete them? Yeah we get it, you want to keep us in the maps for longer, but frustration is not the way it's done. Achievements work pretty well, and incentive to obtain various in-map items... But this has gone on for long enough. I'm one small voice in a much larger crowd that are all fed up with the Joko pranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo Lally.8594 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Absolutely agree with the OP. Once or twice is fine but thereafter the frustration is just counter-productive to enjoyment of the new map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Nursie.2876 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Couldn't agree more with OP. I'm a bit shocked there aren't more posts about this, as there is a lot of frustration being expressed in map chat about "trick" and "fake" bounties. It's rare I post here, but this is so annoying.

Astralporing.1957 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Apparently bounties were so rewarding and popular so far that Anet wanted to slightly curb our enthusiasm[/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliamRationem.5172 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm almost positive something is bugged with these ambushes. They didn't have anywhere near this frequency in Domain of Istan. Hopefully they can fix this or at least make it more of a bonus rather than "Oh heck, not again with this!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithranArkanere.8957 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I would not mind them as much if you didn't lose the bounty marker and the actual bounty appeared somewhere nearby after the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laila Lightness.8742 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ambushes sucks i hated idea since it came and i want it gone forever its stupid anoying idea wich never should been implemented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe.1807 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yeah its overkill right now, yesterday was running on a Bounty train and we got like 5 ambushes in a row lol people just gave up....the ambushes are cool, but it should be a rare event, right now looks like its a 50% chance or something...

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Something definitely needs to be changed with them. I don't think they should be completely done away with, but the ambush shouldn't count as a failed bounty attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo Lally.8594 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Spent 2 days now trying to get the last 2 bounties - Vebis and Nepheretes. Always without exception an ambush. I'm leaving this new map alone now as it's just not a positive experience. I'll continue to do the collection items but the bounties are now a pathetic joke - not on Joko but on Anet. I expected more from your designers in an otherwise wonderful story release but you are sorely lacking on this part of the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaklex.6308 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Honestly it sounds more like sour grapes on players parts here, there's nothing wrong with being ambushed by Joko's minions when we know damn well he wants us dead at all costs. From what I'm hearing in map the bounties reset faster if it was an ambush instead of the actual bounty, but I haven't verified if this is the case or not...just anecdotal evidence.

The bounties reset at about the same time as in other maps, only this map you have about maybe 10% chance or less of actually completing a round of bounties, compared with other maps. Also this isn't sour grapes, this is about being fair to the players. Right now, as you've seen and as I'm watching in the game, players are going to other maps for bounties and leaving this one alone until the RNG portion is abolished.

This. The actual ambushes go quickly enough, but having to wait for another respawn on the bounty board is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Must agree. Tried and tried and tried to get my last bounty tonight. And ambush after ambush after ambush. That's not my idea of a good time. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelisk.4527 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It's a neat idea but it should be very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrizzFreston.5290 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 First of all, I have no idea what ambushes are. But by the sound of it I would say it should take place instead of the bounty. And as such give the same reward. Then I guess there's specific achievements for killing specific bosses which are impossible when these ambushes take place instead. That already sounds like a recipy for disaster, taking into consideration how achievements are handled by players. Either, the ambush should just give exactly the same rewards including achievement, or lead to the actual bounty afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esterie.7409 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The first two times it happened, I thought, "ha... that's funny, I get the joke!" After getting 3+ ambushes in a row.... it becomes a lot less fun. There were better options to implement this ambush feature. Two of my favorite alternatives I've heard of are 1) ambush happens and upon completing it, the bounty spawns as it normally would, or 2) the ambush happens when the bounty reaches a certain % health or randomly. Both instances would be mildly annoying, but you would still get to do the bounty. It keeps the flavor of the ambush but is nothing compared to having to wait for the bounty to show up on the board again. This past week I witnessed a few commanders quitting running bounty trains out of frustration. Waiting for that one bounty for a collection/achievement and getting an ambush is.... yeah, not the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yea I agree with the above poster the ambush should be joko sending its forces on you when your fighting said bounty, its and ambush and he have to figure out were you are first after all.

That could be done if Anet incorporated Linken's idea, which is a fair one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
