egs:bounty:playername:creditAmount
Example egs:bounty:RexXxuS:100000000
HWS Connect
Use the HWS Connect web interface to place a bounty on someone
Or you can click the little bounty icon, on a player’s name.
Bounty Conditions
Please review the following tips regarding bounties:
-
A bounty of 1 to 9,999,999 credits will display only the targeted player name and the bounty amount
-
A bounty of more than 10,000,000 credits will display the targeted player name, the bounty amount and the playfield that the targeted player is on but not the coordinates
Additional Info
- The bounty you place will be subtracted from your Elemental Bank (EB) / Market Zone as soon as you set it
- The bounty is automatically transferred to the Bounty Hunter when the job is done
- The higher the bounty, the more likely that the targeted player will be found and exterminated.
- From HWS Connect Online Players you can watch players, so you get notifications every time a player comes online! A sound is even played.
How it works
Becoming Guilty
With Season One, the possibility of being labeled ‘Guilty’ introduced a whole new dimension of gameplay and it’s a feature found only on HWS! There are now undesirable consequences and conditions for players who (role)play the evil & chaotic side. Both law-abiding and lawless playstyles are valid choices that make gameplay much more enjoyable for all involved. When villains are caught committing crimes or acting in a vile manner, they will be labeled ‘Guilty’. Once a player is deemed ‘Guilty’, their name will be broadcasted to the Hunter Board for all to see – EVEN IF THEY LOG OUT.
Players can earn fame and fortune by hunting those on the Hunter Board. Different origins gain various benefits & take different penalties for hunting / being hunted, but one thing is certain: It’s a bounty hunter’s Dream out there.
Check the different Origins for details regarding punishments and rewards for ‘Flying the Guilty Flag’.
General Info
- Guilty players are displayed on the HWS Connect Hunter Board, together with the playfield, they are currently in.
- Players can be rewarded up to 10 times per day for guilty kills. (limit prevents exploits)
- Players MUST have the proper Origin Epic / Enhanced Weapon in their inventories to gain HWS DNA during the kill.
- The Hunter Board is visible only on HWS Connect and it gets updated every minute
- Structures which are not controlled/piloted by you or your passengers do not trigger the HWS DNA / Guilty system. (manual fire only)
- You can kill the same guilty guy repeatedly, but you are limited to one HWS DNA bonus per day for that kill (prevents family farming)
- If you are guilty you can’t enter PvE playfields (Supporter playfields included)
- Lose 5 HWS DNA as soon as you become guilty
EGS - No Guilty
Visit https://cmd.hws.global or check your PDA > Guide > HWS Commands or type egs:? for all available commands
Yes, EGS offers private… services for the shady types who’d like their records to be altered - because who here has never committed any crimes?
Becoming guilty can be a drag. It is tattooed to your forehead and follows you around everywhere! Why not just buy your way out of it?
Using the EGS:NOGuilty command, you can have a clean record and be ready to hit the streets and space routes once again without those pesky hunters on your back.
Your Guilty status is removed if you die at the hands of Bounty Hunters or you can just buy yourself NoGuilty. We won’t call it a bribe. Bribe is such an ugly word. (suicide or cb:reset won’t help)
egs:noguilty
Buying your way out of trouble costs both credits and HWS DNA.
Note: The more often you use the command, the more expensive it gets! So consider your options and credit balance carefully before purchasing your innocence.
Example:
First Usage Cost: 100,000 credits and 1 HWS DNA
Second Usage Cost: 200,000 credits and 2 HWS DNA
Third usage it costs: 300,000 credits and 3 HWS DNA
and so on…
This climbing expense resets when a new season starts.
General Info
- You can use the command from anywhere
- After you purchase NoGuilty, please allow for up to 1 minute for your name to be removed from the Hunter Board. It is not instantly removed from HWS Connect.
