Ashes of Creation PvP Suggestions
PvP Settings Menu (The following are turned on when you create your character with an option to turn off)
- Healing/Buffing a combatant/corrupted player automatically flags you
- AoE does not inflict damage against combatant players if you are not flagged
- AoE does not inflict damage to non combatant players if you are corrupt or combatant (in order to prevent accidentally killing a non flagged player but giving you the option to do so if you wish)
- Using any targeted attack or ability against a combatant player automatically flags you combatant
Changes to Corruption
- Add Corruption Bar above exp bar when corrupted
- Display how much exp required to deplete Corruption Bar
- Corruption depletion should only go down via exp gained or on death
- Corruption depletion via exp grinding should be less then the amount of exp debt from dying as a corrupted player
i.e. 1 Stack of corruption requires 3% of exp equal to your level to remove corruption vs. dying with 1 stack of corruption gives you 5% exp debt
- Attacking a corrupted player gives you a Bounty Hunter Status regardless if you are flagged or not
- Bounty Hunter status does not flag you as a combatant while attacking a Corrupted player
- Bounty Hunter status does not give you corruption upon killing a corrupted player
- Bounty Hunter status does not give combatant players the ability to kill you without risking Corruption
- Attacking a combatant player while having the Bounty Hunter Status automatically flags you combatant
- Corrupted players can attack and kill players with the Bounty Hunter status in order to defend themselves without receiving additional corruption

Future Bounty Hunter System suggestions
-Mission Board for Bounty Hunting with list of all active Corrupted Players (level of corruption status/node in which
player received corruption status)
-Allow Bounty Hunters to filter through the Mission Board the Level of Corruption / Node or Biome which player received corruption (This is not node or biome where player currently is)
-Progression style system gaining exp for successful Bounties claimed
-Better rewards depending on corruption level of target
-Better rewards for completing Bounties on players in different nodes/biomes in which you picked up the bounty from
-When a player goes Corrupt it instantly gets broadcasted onto Bounty Hunter Mission Boards
-Purchasable tracking gear unlocked through the progression system i.e. shirts/pants/belts/pylons
-Tracking gear to help determine rough locations of Corrupted Players using pylons and clothing granting more exp per
kill
-Tracking gear that follows the apprentice>novice style progression system
-For example a novice bounty hunter pylon gives you a radar style ping on mini map of general direction of corrupted player getting stronger as you progress through the Bounty Hunter System
