Add penalty: Palapagos Most Wanted - Bounty placed on your head!!

[ncopelli104]

First, imagine you play the game and, whether you had intentionally done so or by accident, you capture a human NPC.
Suddenly, you receive an in-game notification that a Bounty/Wanted poster had been placed on your head for Crimes against Humanity, for capturing said Human NPC! Raids will now include Bounty Hunters to attack your base (frequently), and until you are defeated the bounty on your head cannot be removed. If defeated, your resources will be taking a 50% nosedive and claimed by the Bounty Hunters as payment for your crimes.
And if players should have an opportunity to become more involved as a community, they would have the option to pursue the Bounty on your head, hunt you down to one of your bases, and invade with a whole team of added players and their pals.
After succeeding, they would reap the 50% of your resources and split it in-between players who partook in the hunt, and DESTROY your base completely!
Second, if players have the opportunity to create their own factions/clans/guilds in-game, they could pool a rather expensive Bounty on a player that wronged them or just for the heck of it! Any player, inside or outside of your clan, managed to succeed this Bounty Hunt mission, you could reward them with anything that the clan owns (Pals, gold, ammunition, etc.)
This is just a random thing that popped into my head, but I kinda find it funny that players resort to catching Human NPCS if they want to.
I appreciate any feedback on this! Game on!

With the current state of the wanted system i dont think this is a good idea.

It sounds a bit too harsh really. The wanted system is already pretty bad with how the PIDF magically spawn in around you even when flying. And creating bounties against other players is a big no, all it'll do is promote griefing and extortion. Furthermore it would heavily rely on open PvP, something which is unlikely to happen given the company has publicly stated they are trying to carefully approach PvP. We still don't know what they have planned but I imagine it's going to be a controlled environment.

Wow. I appreciate the constructive criticism. I was just wondering, since I love this game so much.
But come to think of it, I did have a little bit of trouble with the flying pals in one of my raids. It was so annoying!
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, guys.

They're not really bad ideas, just ones that wouldn't work well I believe with Palworld. I get the idea the PIDF is supposed to be the commanding police force in the Palapagos Islands so having a bounty system may not work. I suppose an alternative to making capturing humans more frowned upon would be to have it boost your wanted level, but also do it in a way that makes it a crime only if you're seen. As it stands it's very odd that you're given a wanted level with nobody else around but you and the target. Maybe if they revamp the wanted system this idea could be revisited.

The biggest issue with a player-ran bounty system as I mentioned is the potential for abuse by other players who just want to make life harder for others. You could see guilds dedicated to taking on bounties, essentially becoming hired guns of a sort. Say PvP was only allowed if you accrued a bounty, having one lets bounty hunters attack you and your base. It could be used as a form of extortion like...

"Give me this or money or I'll keep placing bounties on you."

And if you don't do it the guild puts a bounty on you opening you up to having your base wiped out. Or they can just do it anyway and give you a hard time until you quit the server. I'd like to say I'm exaggerating but give players something to potentially exploit and they'll exploit the hell out of it if it means good entertainment for them.

No.

Maybe it could start as one of the normal raids (that can be turned off) that can happen if you've been catching many humans recently, though it won't cause you to lose your resources like you suggested; at worst it just wrecks your base and you have to repair structures or rebuild them.
