I agree. A penalty that reducing certain percentage of reputation which u supposed to get from finishing the bounty would be nice. I think more than 50 percent at least.
Hey, just gonna bump this. This seems like a clear oversight, something that should be worked into the UI - Now with new ppl coming to the game, make it happen. Like for instance I took a bounty now that is very hard for me to do, when all I need was like a few K’s of rep more…
Since bounties have been introduced into the game, there have been many threads that suggested to drop a bounty. Because there are bounties which are hard to acomplish if you do them the first time and it gets annoying if you are on your witts end and have to look up a wiki in order to complete the bounty.
I totally agree that we should have a option to abort a bounty, no matter the reason why. If it should be punished, I do not know.
Other ideas I have are, that, instead of seeing one bounty aviable, we should be able to see all possible bounties for the current run and pick out the bounty we want to do.
But there are two things that annoy me about bounties and that would be the following: 1. Some bounties require you to kill targets like, Ol’ Blood Biar.
While you can kill him and then accepting the quest, the
quest will be already completed. But this does not count
for bounties.
2. If the bounty requires to kill certain enemy types these
should spwan, at least a bit, more often.Aaaand again. Feature is a basic necessity. Especially with some bounties sitting in Roguelike dungeons. I seem to remember a warning “skeleton key required” when last I saw one of those, but I am still carrying around a Kymon’s chosen one from before that warning was displayed…
Punishment for dropping a bounty makes little sense. It is a bounty table. Everyone who is trusted enough to do them can have a look and pick a target. It’s not a binding bilateral contract with a faction just because the player happens to be the only competent guy around (what happens to the bounties the player does not do? Maybe Ulgrim and Creed go on a little hunt every night?)
Finally, indeed, bounties and rep need a bit more love, but right now the bounty system is obviously just some script tied into the quest mechanic, so a proper display and “drop” option would probably require some work. Still with all the threads on this topic, it’s work that would be good to do some time soon - it’s not alpha time anymore, we already have an expansion, and while more content is always cool, some polish in some areas could make this game a lot more competetive…

I think they put bounties on Respected level with Factions for some reasons…
Sorry for the necropost.
But hell yeah, there should an option to cancel a bounty.
Some bounties are huge waste of time.

Yes, please. Plus they are so annoying in multiplayer when they are not synchronized.
