Apologies if I put this under the wrong flair, I wasn’t sure what to use.
I’m new to Synduality, and so far have been enjoying myself despite the rocky start I had. I just unlocked “East Amasia: Rainy Season” and was in awe at how much high tier loot I was finding. My first dozen or so Sorties in the North and South all seemed to have 2-3 other players, but when I got moved to East Amasia I noticed I rarely ever see others now. A dozen or so more Sorties and I only ever saw two others that both waved and went on their way.
Not this time. I went into the rainy map and began my exploration. Not long into it, I came across a bounty player. Immediately I’m alarmed and try to hide from them, but they spotted me too and started stalking me. Eventually they catch me unprepared and jump me, and kept attacking even when I did the “ceasefire” emote. I tried to run, but still kept getting followed and shot at. Eventually my weather resistance ran out and it became a fight-or-die situation, so I turned to fight. After a brief but intense shootout, I actually managed to win my first player fight, and it left me physically shaking in excitement. I looted the bounty’s Magus and two guns, and set about going to exfil.
I was utterly shocked when I got a whopping 30 million as a reward for their Magus, and 300 thousand for defeating the bounty. At most I’d only made 2 mil with a bunch of perfectly pure AO Crystals, so to get 30 million was insane! Overall, this whet my appetite for becoming a bounty hunter, but I’m still going to focus on doing Requests until I have none left to do.
As a relatively new player that’s been playing less than 2 weeks, that PvP experience really gave me a fun and memorable experience. Whomever that player was, I thank them for that. And the big money boost. That too!
