and learned to pk

#

youll realize its nice

#

would change ur tune rq

visual warren
#

Especially with there being a singles variant and a multi variant

#

Risk a bit, get a small chance, risk more, get a better chance

#

I think that's very healthy

split elm
visual warren
#

Especially if it's completely optional content

#

You say that as if VW is a requirement to do anything

split elm
visual warren
#

It's good, don't get me wrong, but there's always plenty of alternatives to using vw

kind quiver
#

yeah like claws

#

its ina safe enviroment

#

for even you hcs to grind

visual warren
#

Or sometimes even defence draining items

sour coyote
#

As it stands u have to go kill the god bosses for the mage arena 2 cape and thats in multi. If youve done it on a hardcore, you know theres a thrill and a flex. Ive done it. If you want to keep those sort of achievements seperate go for it. Were talking about something different

kind quiver
#

love seeing when irons are ardy caped locked

visual warren
#

There's never going to be a scenario where it's like if I don't have VW I can't do x content

#

That's why it's imo a very good update

kind quiver
#

tbh the fact its even useful in pvm is crazy to me

#

lol

#

btu thats what makes it hold price so fk it

visual warren
#

You have 3 options:

  • Don't risk it and don't get the item
  • Risk a little and get small chance (single boss)
  • Risk more and get better chance (multi boss)
#

That's not even saying anything about risking gp/items, just about the chance of getting killed

#

Cuz multi bosses u can get away with less gear

kind quiver
#

dapper you missed most of there biggest argument which was the pyschology of dying to a player

#

is much worse then dying to the pvm monster

#

@warped gulch right?

#

i mean @grok

visual warren
split elm
#

Imagine if it was this instead:
-Don't risk it and get tiny chance (boss outside of wildy)
-Risk a little and get small chance (single boss)
-Risk more and get better chance (multi boss)

visual warren
#

Would be fine by me, but it had to be significantly worse than inside of wildy

kind quiver
#

yeah

#

would have to be like pet rate almost

kind quiver
#

if outside wildy

#

like a d warhammer original rate or some shit

plush canyon
#

That’s fair

kind quiver
#

with how easy the wildy bosses are

#

also if that did happen

#

i would buff the rate

#

of the wildy versions

#

just to make the iron grind for safe vw is miserable

sour coyote
#

Runescape isnt only catered towards one player, and you shouldnt have a say where you dont play. Keeps others from having fun. Even when you dont understand something; shouldnt mean you have to vote no.

plush canyon
visual warren
#

If they in the future would add a new boss for some new item and it would be the way you described kasperero i think it would be something like

1 = baseline

1 for outside of wildy
5 for singles
10 for multi

so 1/5000 outside -> 1/1000 singles-> 1/500 multi

#

Something along those lines

kind quiver
#

cause giving irons the option to do it for free

#

with shit rate

#

will actually make them go to wildy

visual warren
#

Yup

sour coyote
#

I mean on top of everything, why would an ironman be crying. Hardcores do it, they man up and play like a savage

kind quiver
#

a very classic business model

#

i like it

split elm
kind quiver
plush canyon
#

I’m for that type of setting

kind quiver
#

every update has been a shit shovel of feeding

#

for irons

visual warren
kind quiver
#

even old irons

#

know how qol these updates are for the game mode

#

original iron compared to now

#

is night and day

#

from how many spoon shoveled updates there have been

sour coyote
#

Shouldnt have a say*

kind quiver
#

naw let them have a say but just give us a chance to have the say

visual warren
#

Oh and I think regular loot for not risking anything should be terrible as well

kind quiver
#

we dont get update to even vote on

#

its so dead

visual warren
#

Then singles should have decent loot and multi should shit out decent loot

split elm
kind quiver
#

this idea can go so far

#

like to make non wildy version s with shit rate

#

its like thjje only piece missing

#

to make multi and isngles bosses better

sour coyote
#

Let me just edited it so you can understand clearly

#

O no its right

split elm
visual warren
#

Nah it wouldn't

sour coyote
#

This guys is really on his own

visual warren
#

Nobody does a boss just for common loot

kind quiver
#

except current day vorkath

#

an anomaly

visual warren
#

I mean that's botted to death too

kind quiver
#

yup lol

visual warren
#

Don't think there's many legit players that do that for normal loot

kind quiver
#

fk it put vorkath in wildy

visual warren
#

lmao

kind quiver
#

pvp would be fun if there was a bot farm for the latin american people to attack

#

that we can kill after

#

imagine those keys

#

2m from the latin american and then tehy had 4 keys of vork bones

#

LOL

visual warren
#

Give clans access to bot nuke worlds and have them find all bots and kill all of them 😛

kind quiver
#

yeah lol

#

let the pvpers fix the botters

#

ahahahah

visual warren
#

PVP everywhere no safezones 😛

cold scaffold
#

introduce EP% like 2009 bh

split elm
#

vorkath copy in wildy with better loot?

its a pk update that doesnt hurt the other players as much (only devaluing vorkath drops somewhat)

legitimately one of the better suggestions thrown around so far

kind quiver
#

tbh all this could also be fixed if the pvp updates

#

were more focused on world45

#

aswell

visual warren
#

I agree

kind quiver
#

that way irons dont need to have a say

#

but unfort we dont even get those kind of updates

split elm
visual warren
#

If w45 was ACTUALLY good and maybe even actually integrated into normal worlds

cold scaffold
#

yea w45 is hot trash even with the breach changes

kind quiver
#

yeah if world 45 wasnt actually comepletely seperate from the normal worlds

#

would actually make it better tbh

#

without even doing

sour coyote
#

The no item on death is gnarly

kind quiver
#

an actual update

sour coyote
#

Unless parched

visual warren
#

Make pvp worlds actually good

kind quiver
#

^

sour coyote
#

Aye

visual warren
#

Instead of it being just a place where you riskfight

kind quiver
#

yeah give me a poll on making pvp worlds good

#

and i wont even complain about irons anymore

plush canyon
#

Make PvP great again NODDERS

split elm
kind quiver
#

i mean

#

pvp worlds

#

is like all pking

#

so that point is moot

sour coyote
#

We say res he thinks blue

#

Red

visual warren
#

Yeah I don't get that statement unless you think pking is: kill pvmers

kind quiver
#

even if that is the case the best thing about pvp worlds and dmm

sour coyote
#

Hes trying to scale it to a metric

kind quiver
#

is the pvmers actually risk

#

and its worth killing them

#

lol

#

kaspero i feel is to stuck on that we like killing monk robers

visual warren
#

give like a 1.25% or 1.5% increase in droprate on pvp worlds

kind quiver
#

and confusing us with the vens

visual warren
#

Only at places that are non instanced

split elm
sour coyote
#

I think lure is the term

plush canyon
sour coyote
#

Yes

visual warren
#

I agree that's why I'm trying to establish what he means by pking

cold scaffold
plush canyon
#

Your second time saying that and still being off mark, because my points are not geared to hurt another community

sour coyote
#

Amen

split elm
plush canyon
#

Which community is being hurt?

visual warren
#

But like I said, 1.25x or 1.5x drop rates in pvp worlds when pvming whilst not being in instance wouldn't be too bad I think

split elm
visual warren
#

I don't think 1.25x is too high, 1.5x maybe

split elm
#

i think 1.10 is on the high end

visual warren
#

I don't think so tbh, because you gotta take into account that ppl will most certainly downgrade gear

split elm
#

and instanced content needs to be taken into account

visual warren
#

Meaning less of a chance to get drops

#

Or rather less kc/h

visual warren
split elm
split elm
#

people that like the thrill, not people who are looking to profit

#

'the pvp community'

kind quiver
#

kasp youre really missing it tho

#

the more pvmers

#

means more pvpers

#

its just how it is

#

thats just how this game is

visual warren
kind quiver
#

it isnt like a normal game with pvp

#

where pvpers only fight pvpers

#

its a pecking order

split elm
kind quiver
#

its not broken

#

thats just how runesdcapes been

#

its why the pking in osrs is different

#

thasn other games

split elm
kind quiver
#

@split elm becuase no wildyyy updates

#

only thing in wildyu

#

is vw

split elm
kind quiver
#

as the mos recent updates

#

how old is void waker again ?

split elm
#

cmon man youre so close

kind quiver
#

hmm like 4 years now

visual warren
kind quiver
#

okay so yure saying we need a pvp update again that stealth comes in as a pvp only weapon

#

just for pvmers to realize they need it too

#

sure im down for that route aswell

#

atleast i was being transparent with my route lol

split elm
#

just dont add uniques only to wildy

visual warren
#

I honestly would feel much better about an update specifically for pvping only not pvming but those are much harder to do

#

Because with most solutions, there will be bots abusing the mechanics

sour coyote
#

Maybe just rework castle and vettion locations, or just around multi- its sort of barren around north east of lavas. maybe add like an abandoned camp or something. some more building with flgiths of stairs in multi

kind quiver
#

yah like if vls was able to use everywhere but the best way to use it

#

/ get it is pking

visual warren
#

Devaluing all of it

kind quiver
#

but u can pvm it

#

on a shit drop rate

visual warren
#

I also think they could condense the wilderness into a smaller area and doing just that would solve a lot

split elm
#

let people who want to pvp/pk do so

let people who dont want to not miss out

its not difficult to make everyone happy other than those who just want the easy pickings

visual warren
#

Get rid of the useless shit content nobody does

#

Make it a fairly condense area so everything will be packed into a small(ish) area

split elm
#

if there arent enough people to pvp pk without those that dont want to fight

there clearly arent enough people interested

sour coyote
#

they added rev caves and slayer caves- can also build another underground spot in wildy

#

more catered towards multi clans

plush canyon
visual warren
#

Yeah I think so too

sour coyote
#

yes lol maybe out near the coast with this "skill" coming into game

visual warren
#

Especially if you can't hop around underground (cough escape caves cough)

sour coyote
#

lol

visual warren
#

But I stand by it, make it a more condensed area and most of wildy will be more active

split elm
#
  • what if u add an area in deep wildy, tough to escape
    -where there isnt pvm
    -but if you kill another player
    you get more loot in addition to the loot key?

could even add vls or something here if you add it someplace else outside of wildy

sour coyote
#

yes ultimatley the objective of this post 🙂@visual warren

split elm
#

make it in multi

sour coyote
#

i mean

visual warren
plush canyon
#

Could create farming like there was in BH days 76k glitching

#

Not good

visual warren
#

Bots will just link up and kill eachother and you're fucked

thick whale
visual warren
#

Yup

split elm
sour coyote
#

multi boxers...

visual warren
#

In theory (discounting bots/alting) could be a great thing

sour coyote
#

the human veng was a pretty good one

visual warren
#

But because of those 2 things, not viable

split elm
#

fair enough, if it doesnt work, it doesnt work

kind quiver
#

im down for a lot of things but i think the biggest gripe here is that @split elm doesnt like that there is a bottom of the food chain

#

and i like that aspect of pking in osrs

#

and so do alot of other pvpers

plush canyon
sour coyote
#

hahah crodie

kind quiver
#

i mean it sounds like im joking

#

but i like u get giga terimnator pkers like westy pkers who are dece who kil worse pker

#

and then rag pkers who kill pvmers

#

i for one like thatt aspect

sour coyote
#

na its true, becasue then they vote no on wrathmaw 😦 man that was a good one

visual warren
#

could maybe even be some kind of capture the flag mechanic, with 1 flag, then a randomised spot u need to bring it to. then you get loot

#

Could MAYBE work

#

But probably also prone to bots

#

(only on select worlds)

kind quiver
#

like im down for pvp updates to be pkers and pkers but i also dont want the wildy to just die

plush canyon
sour coyote
#

gets you a staf that canauto cast ancients AND venoms or burns

kind quiver
#

the aspect of being the raid boss to other players is also a fun aspect

#

that makes runescape runescape

visual warren
split elm
kind quiver
#

youre saying every person who pvm wildy hates it tho

#

so people enjoy anti-pking

kind quiver
#

or getting loot

#

thats crazy

#

its just u specifically that seems to hate

#

being killed

#

during a vetion trip

split elm
#

if it was just me specifically

we would be getting wilderness updates lets be real...

visual warren
split elm
#

were not getting them because were the majority babyyyyy

kind quiver
#

seems that way yeah

#

ironscape it is

#

🥱

#

btw the other reason it seems the pvp community is small is becasuse alot of them dont play atm

#

cause of all these no pvp updates sadly

sour coyote
#

I got the vw and i didnt bitch. I got mage arena 2 cape as a hc and i didnt bitch.

Turn multi areas into single+5.

No more getting piled on by clans.
If you cant escape 5. It wasnt meant to be.

Single+5 for the players. Not the npc.

I suggest to migrate on over to Permanent Deadman W45 if you want the good old wildy gameplay experience. It actually gets PvP updates (because it doesn’t require passing polls by 90%+ PvMers to pass) and has chivalry for sub 66def etc. etc.. 😉

Jagex has not neglected wilderness.

Within the past 2 years, they've given us zombie pirates(multi), the rogues chests(multi), updated the agility course, made the slayer cave more profitable, released bounty hunter, etc.

They also made a few wildy related proposals that didn't pass polls, like wrathmaw and the fountain of rune letting you alc multiple items at the same time.

Point is, we get wildy updates all the time.

i remember one time, a quest was released in rs2 and it involved going into a cave into the deep wilderness. there was a clan or group of clans camping (every world) at the entrance killing everybody trying to get into to cave for days. like this is the type of behavior that puts people of entering the wilderness. its inherently toxic. That said, that's the point of the wilderness to be filled with toxic players. so its really hard to balance that out. Perhaps a system where pkers protect regular players from other pkers for a fee. or have pking clans protect certain areas for exchange for a percentage of the loot or exp from regular player could work

trail venture
thick whale
#

How would that even work?

vapid notch
#

there is a game called foxhole. it simulates ww1 between 2 factions that try to take over areas of the map. players can choose to either fight for control or help in logistics. was thinking about something like that. where the pkers are the fighters and the average players do the skilling activites that help pkers with resources to conquer more areas of the wilderness.

#

if youre looking for clan vs clan doesn't adding more content make the problem worse?

adding another location to spread wildy activity thinner?

silent lodge
#

What is the suggestion here? You mention

  • More new popular locations
  • New structures around Multi

But what does this actually mean? Do you just want some empty buildings around multi? Another resource area? What kind of popular locations do you want? More skilling? another boss? what does it look like? So far it seems like this thread has gone way off track into just venting about the state of wilderness and advertising other threads while arguing with other players.

1.3k messages be like

I support jagex giving more love to pvp

#

hell no to wildy "pvp"

#

we're just gonna get more bot content

fast aspen
#

My crazy suggestion is removing some of the basic look from wildy and letting it only appear (if not boosted even) on exclusive wildy worlds where you won't have to pay fees either and people can go at each other constantly

#

More people at the same place and more loot for the people willing to risk it

#

And less of the mess we got rn generating gold like candy

#

Maybe add the new items and gear people use to pk with into the pvp arena worlds, so everyone can get practice in before risking their set in the wildernis? Toxic halbert / bowfa / virtus / voidwaker ect?

but to be honest, this thread will be no different than the pvp discord, and it will all have to pass polls, so i dont see anything ever happening with the wilderness

Those are not suggestions, those are just "do stuff" and asking the devs to figure it out. If there isn't a suggestion from OP here about what those improvements actually are then I'll be closing the thread.

Everyone here is free to make their own thread if they have a suggestion for what the "new activities there for skilling" would actually be.

I gave MY game suggestion in less than 6 clear sentences. I think you have a power trip to come in here and silence MY game suggestion. Freedom of speech without fear of consequence on any platform. Like discussed early in MY thread- you vote "no" when you dont understand. Just because you dont understand something, doesnt mean you have to fear it and vote no. Like you dont understand why this thread picked up so much traction, so you want to delete it? Maybe there is too much constructive criticism here for you to handle, and you should let some other mods take a look at this before you take action.

sour coyote
cold scaffold
#

remove the scorpion aggro outside the cave, give the boss more hp/less dmg so you can do more trips, offsprings have a chance to also drop blighted supps for longer trips

chaos ele chilling in the middle of multi is a bit outdated compared to the rest of the wilderness and their bosses, would be nice to give the boss distinct projectiles that can be negated if prayed against

Its time to unite the people of geilinor, both PVM and PVP. Like how the Rohirrim came to save Gondor at Minas tirith in the third Lotr movie " the return of the king " Deaaaaathhhh deaaaaathhhh deaaathhh - when the rohirrim charged in to swipe all those filthy orcses from Gondors gate. We must all unite in this endeavor together to defeat evil. OP @sour coyote has gives us some great tips and feedback to look in to, and for he has forspoken, will even update and make the statements he made even clearer than before. No more missunderstandings, no more orcs living in our forests. We all must unite here to destroy the ring and keep PVP alive. What does thy say about these proposals Jagex? Will thy choose to destroy the ring and cast it in the mountain of doom or will thy keep thy ring and not do any QOL updates. For there might be another evil to rise again from the corruption of the ring. Will you be Isildur? Or bite of the ring from gollums finger and destroy it? The choice is yours Gagex.

# silent lodge What is the suggestion here? You mention - More new popular locations - New stru...

2 things I can bring up
Based on every other game people come back when they “remaster” the game basically a cosmetic rework on things, with some chances to the environment a new boxes here a few walls there, creates more things multi clans can use to make plays during wars.

And 2 wilderness activities should be some of the best GP per hour since it’s also the most dangerous, but due to bots it’s become very mediocre. I don’t PVM in the wildy but for the wildy to become more active we need more PVMERs because it’s a food chain

PVMERs come to make BIS GP
noob pkers come to try and kill them
Better pkers try and kill the noob ones
Best pkers kill the better ones
It’s a cycle that will forever happen but for it to start we need BIS GP/hour for the PVMERS to come out

# sour coyote I gave MY game suggestion in less than 6 clear sentences. I think you have a pow...

It was not clear. A third of it was your history and how you play, another third was saying wildy is neglected. Your suggestion itself is just add more popular areas, new structures, and multi. These ideas need to be expanded with a lot more detail which is what I asked for here #1389986063262420994 message

No one has been silenced and I'm asking you to tell me more. What does "popular areas" mean to you? What would a new popular area be? What is a structure to you? Do you want more empty buildings for flavour around wildy? Do you want something like the Fountain of Rune?

Choosing to be argumentative instead of just telling me what your suggestion is does not support your position. #1389986063262420994 message As Grendallord mentioned here you can update your original post if you have more to add. I'll be happy to wait a while for your clarification.

I very much agree with Pingu that there isn’t really a suggestion here at all

#

“Fix things and make them more appealing to me ty” is basically all you said in 5x as many words

keen portal
#

a bit late to the party, but that mage switch (4-5 invy slots worth 20k) will save ur ass in singles most of the time... and if u are anti-pking at calv for example, u can bring chainmace, spec wep, fero gloves (ur 3 items) with salve, neitiznot helm, dhide and climbing boots, then ur extra 20k "risk": rune cbow, bolts and veng sacks

#

no idea why u wouldnt bring a cheap freeze set because of extra risk, yet would rather die with the loot (say 400k) thats worth 20 freeze sets, but play how u want of course

keen portal
#

yeah i have always thought its important to at least know the proper setup and then decide if u want to do it or not

in case u are going to try it, the 20k freeze gear is xeric top + bottom, water staff, ma1 cape and ~10 ice sacks, thats basically zero risk and it improves ur survivability like crazy

#

For the majority of casual players such as myself (those who enter at all anyway) the Wilderness is simply “where you go kill zombie pirates for bonds”. It’s not a real piece of content, it’s just a spot for some quick cash. I personally have like 15 spare sets of black dhide and climbing boots. While I find it kind of annoying to die, there’s not much point to fighting back besides trying to catch a freeze. Since there’s so much money for casuals and bots who risk basically nothing, the Wilderness isn’t a PvP zone, it’s a PK zone.

#

When the Wilderness was released in RS Classic and the best equipment was rune/dragon risking 150k, and fights often lasted minutes, people only really went there for the fun of fighting other players—a PvP zone. Now that fights are usually over in seconds—either the attacker catches a freeze and specs out the victim, or the victim logs out around a corner—players don’t often go for the thrill of the hunt, as it were.

#

Players who still want to have fun in PvP go to the GE on a PvP world. Players who want to make money—either from the cash-bloated content or the players/bots farming said content—go to the Wilderness.

keen portal
#

Thats not to say people dont go to the wildy to hunt bots and pvmers, but that the wildy also serves a purpose for these arguably popular nh fights that dont really work in pvp worlds

brave bramble
#

Honestly I wish there was a realistic PvP practice minigame with no risk, kind of like Emir’s Arena but you don’t bring full best in slot gear to every fight.
