Couple of ideas re Bounty Boards

Times change and IMO these would be nice QoL tweaks.

  • Remove the limit of listing only 5 bounties allowing it to roll over all 20.
    When farming an area 100+ (due to MI loot drop rate for some) having an extra bounty boss removes some of that monotony, however with the current system I can see the average of 15 reloads for the bounty boss on that map
  • Option to cancel a bounty
    Some bounties have extra page of information and it is possible to accidentally accept a bounty, this may be more of an issue for a newer player where for experienced ones just an annoyance when happens.
    Context being some bounties are more awkward than others and can be challenging either to find for a new player or difficulty to complete.

This is more for FoA but it would be great if Bounties were overhauled for the higher difficulty this introduces.
Maybe the new difficulty has only 5-8 per board, but those are for a more unique and definitely challenging boss and interesting reward.
Maybe an option would be for some of the world bosses to be ramped up if chosen from the board, similar way how some bosses in Borderlands 2 would be much more difficult 2nd time you go to kill them.
Some of interest would be such Ravna, Mad Queen, Rolderathis, Balegor,etc.
Plenty of options around the whole of the world for each bounty board.

The whole Bounty system needs to be overhauled completely. Scrap the dialogue system that is the same as talking with an NPC.
It should have it’s own UI (like the altar and potion kettle that are coming with FoA), where you can directly select from a range of listed bounties. This would also allow modifiers, like adding extra challenges for extra reputation/gold gains.
This screen should also have a keybind like the others so you can always look up directions, rewards etc. without having to search through the quest log.

Totally,
that would resolve both of the primary comments in my OP.
Hopefully at some point FoA will bring us modified enhance or a new upgraded more powerful version of the bounty bosses, the more interesting ones.
