Currently tried to attack Loki, it claims I have 2.5 hours left before I can attack him, though he has the hunted bounty. This is what I get when I try.


WARNING
You cannot attack this player again for another -5 hour(s)!


I'm the one who placed the bounty, so I'm guessing I'm not allowed to benefit from being able to attack him every 4 hours. Nonetheless, there's a bug.

WTF, that's strange. I'll look into it. Also, the effect is for everyone that can attack the target while the skill is active, including the placer of the bounty.

EDIT: Okay, I've patched it up for now, until I get home. That should get it working. If not, let me know.

The reason was, the smaller timeout was not being used in one of the checks, so it threw an error message about the 12 hour timeout, with a 4 hour timeout message string (which went negative, for obvious reasons). Should be working now.

Let me know if you have any suggestions to improve the feature. I don't want it to be too exploited, but I'd like to see it in reasonably wide use against particularly powerful/annoying players. (smiley)

After I tried Loki, I tried to attack all I could with the Hunted effect on them, I wasn't able to attack any of them, and they were all saying less than 3 hours before I could attack again, so I should have been able to. (Hopefully this is fixed too)

As for suggestion, I do find the 1 day period actually interesting. Requires more thought behind the bounty, and even the use of smaller, quick bounty collections from a player. It obviously goes well with double EXP and CR stripping. I could see paying more for extra days though. But, at 100 points or 5m extra per day... it's quite a hefty price. IMO

The issue you mention /should/ have been fixed at the time I fixed the broken error message, as they were a related issue. Let me know if that isn't the case (smiley)   

The price may change. I don't want it to be so attainable that everyone is getting hammered every 4 hours, but I would like to see at least a handful of "Hunted" players, at any given time.

Just letting you know that it is indeed all fixed. I would like to see though, now that I have tried it (on JD), paying a bit more per day to have the Hunted effect on someone. But yeah, it's cool (smiley)
