Those two work fine for me.

I think there should be at least 2 though, just so there's at least to tactic sets for people to choose from.

Do you have to kill the opposing hunter's hunter-alt with your hunter alt or will any kill count? I like the idea of having use your Hunter to claim the kill. More challenging and worthy of the title Hunter.

My understanding is that the alts should be core, so new hunters can get them right away if they don't.

And these are really only to designate targets for people who want to claim their hunters licenses starting after we select the alts for the factions. That way, it's more of a challenge for the would be hunters to get their license. If you want to only count kills from your designated hunter alt, that's your perogative.

I didnt realise Ravage wasn't a core, crap. He should be the 'hunter' alt considering his class, shouldnt he? (Shows when I last checked, dont it? lol)

As people wanted a choice, we could go with a single core alt and a relevant alt from the hunter class, assuming the bots/max/pred have a suitable alt they could choose?



The games themselves can be discussed once Jeep and Insecticon give us to ok, as there is the intiation and the challenge games, both dont have to be played the same way.

Maximals have some decent hunter class alts. I actually have two different ones in use currently.

Sorry...life seems to happening...The ravage alt is perfect for the 'cons, and not just because I'm alreday using one. Too bad the predator alt (mechanical panther) doesn't show properly as it has the counter-matching avoid/ram set up and would be a nice second pick. If it has to be core, I'm not picky...fighter, medium car, tank...it's all good. I really dig the idea of only kills from you're hunter alt counting; definitely makes it that much harder and more deserving.

Do not like idea.

1: I earned my hunters license through deploying my team. The Headhunters accept bounties, and they pass them off to the commanders of the teams, if you look at your teams profile, it says you are the commander, not X character. You are the one decided to send your characters after the mark after all.

2: For those who have a specific character in command of their team, they mostly build teams that work together for their backstory. While some people like characters who work counter to their groups benefit (kinda like how a vast majority of the movie decepticons are all about stompy stompy and not thinky thinky) not all of us do.

3: Killing a whole team for a majority of the HMW players is challenging enough. Killing that whole team with 1 specific character isn't going to liven up the hunting, it's going to handicap the hunting. It not so much that it's a bad idea, it's just ineffective with the current bounty selection. If we limited a bounty to 1-2 characters per team per bounty, sure, it works pretty well.

4: While I feel it runs counter to the long (unoffical) history of bounty hunting in HMW, it's ultimately up to the staff to change the offical way the hunts are handled.

5: Unrelated, but if we're going to use the alts of canonical hunters for the heads to be collected by would be hunters, there's going to be a long long list of possible alts just for the Maximals and Predacons.

I like this idea, I would nominate Joe Pineapples for the task, but it will be too hard for some people, maybe it should be part of the ranking system -100 points for finesse?

Thanks for dropping in InsecticonSlave, now we're just waiting for the other staff member to appear... what is it about the lesser Mods and uni commitments?

THE Chronic!? lol.

I think that is the best way to do it, it will score a bonus but cant be mandatory - capturing the new crop of L4's with an L2 will be hard enough as it is.

The one and only
