I see, so /mostwanted is basically always wanted depending on the highest ranking cop online.

Basically when your level of notoriety is too high the state puts a bounty on your head. And if cops kill you they get the reward.

People get bounties not to be wrong but when they reach lvl 5 of notoriety.

Cops get them by either killing a suspect or jailing them.

This seems a bit forced onto people IMO, people with high notoriety will ALWAYS be on the run and they will never get a break to roleplay because cops will ALWAYS be after the 'reward', whatever that is.

Agreed. Basically a hitman or any other guy who manages to kill another guy without being seen or caught is basically caught cause the eye in the sky saw them doing it. Once the hitman racks up all the kills he is suddenly wanted by the state with full information on the guy even though he has never been caught. Am I getting something wrong or is there really no logic in this system?

I agree, I think it's defeating the whole purpose of notoriety - To make suspects actually want to evade instead of wanting to stand around shooting, why will they wan't to evade now if they just get notorious and have cops after them 24/7?

Yeah man, I can't even step out of the hide out for more than 10 mins before cops surround me again. I tried leaving the hideout for 10mins, then I saw a police cruiser and yeah, I have to go back. And don't this make it feel more like a "Cops N Robbers" game? Just sayin' dont get salty

Mikal, you are missing the point. Notoriety isn't forced, you can always opt out. You chose to do the crimes which lead you there. You aren't forced to run around killing people. So the whole idea of being forced is a bit over dramatic, even for you. In addition to this, high level notoriety is again avoidable but beneficial for those who reach it.. with future plans to make it even more rewarding.

You are getting logic wrong. The FBI has a list of the most wanted fugitives. Some of them have never been caught but they know so much about the guy, his crimes, his appearance, his relatives, his associates, etc. Yet, they remain elusive....... get it now?

Because they have evidence of the crimes. I am here talking about a hitman, who managed to remain hidden throughout his kills yet suddenly appears in the /mostwanted list.

Notoriety - "the state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed"

Any successful hitman would have a reputation within the criminal world for being a good hitman. That is the entire point of the notoriety system, criminal reputation. Yes, it is used by law enforcement as well in order to add balance.

^ To add to that when no cops are online I kill some guy in Bone County and escape there with even being seen by cops yet now I have a bounty on my ass cause I kept doing that and sauron saw me.

You would've had to kill a lot more than one guy to reach N6.

Taking the game Hitman as an example - Agent 47 is notorious for being the best hitman. He has carried out several hits without ever being caught. The only information they have on him is that he wears a suit and he's bald with no exact information. So he manages wander the street without the fear of being caught.

Our case: Oh look this guy's name in /mostwanted. hunt him down for bounty.

The guy - Lets teleport between hideout for life.

There we have - cops and robbers server.
