this morning I joined the assasin que and began cycling through the list of names, like so;

assa req
profile <target>
not online
assa aba
assa req

and so on.

I got to the end of the list, was offered no more contracts, checked my status and nobody was hunting me. I left the assasin que so that I could hunt in peace for a while before checking the que for targets again.

Soon after I get a bolt in my arm. We resolved the conflict, and it wasn't a big deal, but from the programming side, there is a problem going on somewhere and I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks again for adding this.

no, they sincerely thought that I was their contract.

I would type assa stat and it would tell me that I wasn't part of the assassin game right now.

Luckily he was slightly younger than me, so I had the time to talk to him.

So, I had left the game, and if the person who shot me can be believed, and I think they can based on the conversation I had with them, I had a contract on me just after I left the game.

This really seems like an awesome release. The only real complaint ive heard is in the way it groups by skill, you often wind up just having the same 4 or 5 people cycling through each other over and over again.

I was thinking it might be more fun and definitely more exciting if the ranges were widened a bit both ways. You'd get more variety of people to fight with, but also a slightly greater chance that youd go after someone and find out your a bit over your head, or vice versa.

I dont really think itd be that big of a problem, as theres a pretty large margin + and - skill level that you can still kill pretty much anyone with some creativity and planning.


Just a thought.

smaller targets for little to no reward?

You can't sell the spectacular view, so why bother to appraise it?

I concur on the requesting bigger targets, but am totally against lower targets as it seems like it just amounts to griefing.

I'm not 100% but the system may lean toward that end as it is, giving more leeway for the Assassin to take on a bigger contract but not necessarily for smaller ones. I say this because my friend and I both get similar names as targets and he has targeted me twice, though I've never gotten his name once.

I would love to be able to request a tougher target, even if there's no extra reward. Just sayin'.

thank you for putting a timer on being a target, i have only had one person come after me (but they failed)

i was somebody elses target the rest of the time since release, i found it quite annoying they could log out and keep you as a target.

also.. and i know this has been brought up but could you add a counter for how many times you've been assassinated?

it could look something like this

You have killed # targets.
You have been killed by # of your targets.
You have killed # assassins that were targeting you.
You have been assassinated # time(s).
Nobody is targeting you.
You don't have a target.

i think that it would make the system a little more spiffy. thanks in advance!

bug:
Teel's silver glow flares.
Added Assassin Effect for 1 second.
Moving as one fluid extension of power, Rifkinn thrusts a deep grey sabre with a supple leather grip at Teel. Teel barely blocks with a dark stained target shield. The sabre lands a powerful (11/23) strike that pierces clean through the abdomen and out the back (Shiskabob!)!
