Love the idea, very impressed.  The only thing that concerns me is the Bounty System and how it pays out based on killing people with high bounty stacks.  I can see players abusing this and trading kills.  Maybe limit this to Elvia Realm as well, so the regular game isn't affected?  IDK, I'm just thinking that it might be "stressful" for "casual PVE only" players, so if it's confined to Elvia Realm only, maybe it'll be "less stressful" for them because "J wants peace on his server and PVP is a thing of the past". 

Other than that, great idea. +1

Thanks for your feedback buddy :D. Actually i had the Elvia idea before but removed it. Some people said it destroys the open world feeling because you have to go in elvia realm first to go to these hotzones. I also choosed these spots carefully. I had Manes hideout in the zone rotation , but when this is not on elvia it could hinder people to complete their questline (kill 100 manes quest etc.) , But yeah its just an overall idea anyways. I know KR wont read this probably but maybe we have a slim chance that someone is looking at that post, so upvote, upvote, upvote and leave some comments will help a ton i guess. If you have other ideas let me know.

About that bounty abusing , you are right, it could be abused with trading kills. Im not sure how to handle this yet... 

Have a great day!

It's an interesting concept. I don't know how well it would play out, but actually giving someone an incentive to fight is a good idea either way. Anything that breaks the current mold of "let's go crash grindspots on arsha cuz we're bored" mindset.

Thanks for your feedback @Xenon :) , yeah the bounty system could be abused somehow. Need to see how it would work exactly. I totally agree with you, the OW pvp scene is pretty stale right now.

This was a bad idea when Potion Shop pitched it 4 years ago, it is even a worse idea now.

Please don't add this gimmic.

Hey thanks for the comment! What do you exactly mean by "Bad Idea" I dont know about this potion shop you are referring too, can you explain this a bit more?

Lets see, you are grinding peacefully in an area then a "hot zone" pops up, causing dozens or more people to show up, you no longer are grinding but are forced out even if you out gear everyone because it becomes not worth the time to compete with a bunch of other people.  Then you suggest when this is going on that karma no longer applies, basically shifting you to the ARSHA server.  

Your entire idea is basically saying that you are going to throw ARSHA onto a grind spot just because.  How does "your" idea differ from just swapping to Arsha, only worse because you cannot opt out of being forced into PvP.

Hey, maybe i explained myself badly. These Hotzones only occur in grindzones where you typically dont grind anymore, a kind of rework to them, since they are not really visited that much. Im speaking about Helms Post, Elric Shrine etc. (OFC they will be corrupted so its a zone with ap and dp ranging between 260ap -300ap / 350dp - 400dp something like that) Initially i wanted to place these hotzones in the elvia realm at those spots since when you really go grind there (what i dont think players do at these spots) you are not in elvia realm. Its basically grindzones that are almost not visited or only visited shortly for a few quests.

I like the idea, I am for things that give a reason to pvp.

My only question would be at what point would be trying to get a spot and keep it become pointless to bother with as any possible silver gains from grinding would be negated by the fighting?

So a limited version of Elvia that moves around turning the area grinded by low level players, yes they do grind there, into an Arsha zone that is going to be flooded by 700+ GS players?  

Way too complex, it would hurt anyone exploring and hunting as a new player, and is a waste of resources when an Elvia or Dekkia version would work better and be in line with PA's current path of revamping old zones.
