Okay, so i would really love to know who had the great idea of changing the pvp worlds, from the UK to the USA, this update is ridiculous, its like you made the game yet know nothing about PKing, i've pked for years on osrs and ive perfected my timings with the ping available to me, the US players don't have a disadvantage, they are used to the ping in uk worlds, so why change the meta of the game you absolute idiots, this update is scuffed and now everyone has to learn how to PK all over again.. OH WAIT YOUR CHANGING IT EVERY 2 WEEKS?! this can not be allowed. you literally are breaking the game (again) if any of you clowns had any idea about how to pk, you would fully understand that timing is everything, your literally going to make it so people have to learn to pk again every 2 weeks. IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT *cough* eoc
SAVE US MOD SWEEN! YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! also where was the poll????????????????


The US players don't have a disadvantage because they have higher ping than you, but you believe you will have a disadvantage when they get the server for 2 weeks? The hypocrisy in this post is insane

F2P teleblock please

Great updates, loving the rejuvenation to free to play pking.
I know that this will probably go unheard, as it has been polled in the past and failed (mind you last poll was only a few percent off passing) But can we please get tele-block polled for f2p again. I was told by mods before, that it would never be polled again, alas it was.
I seem to recalled them saying something along the lines of, there would need to be a major game update related to the suject being re-polled. In the case of the new f2p pvp world, would that be counted as such an update?

Thanks in advance,

Ess.


Teleblock has failed the poll three times. Perhaps the actual Teleblock spell needs to be reworked into a F2P alternative. What are your thoughts?

Would love to see a DFH Pin eventually with perhaps a platinum variant! ;)


Be sure to give your feedback to the designer, who is @AngelsScapes on Twitter :)

I'd suggest including the current rotation on every patch notes.
I reckon it'd be convenient quite often, although it 'isn't needed'.

Not that I use pvp worlds myself...


I believe Ayiza intends to create a separate web page detailing the rota, which we'll link to in each update newspost.

How about a new ko weapon for f2p. Or possibly even bring back the corrupt dragon weps? Theirs very little opportunity to ko unless it's a no arm fight so maybe do something about this? I hope this gets read lol


Would you just want the weaponry, or the armour too? How would you handle players swapping to the weapons just for the KO (and prolonging the duration until it crumbles to dust)? What about rewarding players who manage to kill somebody risking a corrupted weapon?

Ping to PvP world is 11x worse today than it was yesterday

Selfish to complain? Maybe, idc though, I'm not paying monthly membership for a scuffed connection to your servers half the time.

World Rota is such a bad update, let's do one week BH then one-week PvP yay.
Terrible Jagex.


It's something we pitched before we implemented it, and whilst there were some concerns, the support was largely in favour of it. If it doesn't work out, we'll stop it. If the PvP playerbase grows large enough it's entirely possible we can implement a world in each location.

CapitalPain said :
and what do we customers get :( couple grammar changes do we know when the poll vote updates are coming.

F2P don't need nothing new its free. They should get a taste of what we pay for. So all this talk about new f2p weapons etc is silly.

I don't even skill much but I hope skilling gets some sort of update soon.


Making a F2P world uses a relatively small amount of resource in terms of content development/testing/art etc. It's mainly other teams at Jagex making it happen. I'm afraid we can't release AAA updates every single week.

Can we please get more of these f2p updates omg i loved it but f2p needs new content not just a change of scenery... can we get fist of guthix back? it was an amazing minigame with good rewards that f2p players could make decent money off of. rune berserker shield and gauntlets were amazing.


Making a minigame is a huge undertaking, requiring a lot of resource, and if it's to serve F2P then I don't see much of a return in us doing it. We'd rather investigate making existing content accessible to F2P, should we want to do anything at all.

@Mod Sween
Ping issues aside, over the last three days both Bounty Hunter and w24 PVP have been absolutely dead. they barely ever reach 400 players at peak times. Honestly the worst PKing experience I've had since EOC.

Thank for the reply Sween,

If they were to add a new spell, similar to teleblock for f2p perhaps it could wear off quicker? Similar to bind vs snare/entangle.

Or perhaps only work in the f2p pvp world, that way it would not affect others so much that rely on the f2p wilderness for money making or skilling.

Personally I didn't mind having it in the f2p wilderness pre eoc, but that's just me.

Others have said, if you want it pay for membership but I hardly find that fair as I have 3 accounts with membership and only really play the game to f2p pk.

If anyone else has suggestions to how we could get something similar to teleblock in f2p please comment.

Thanks,


Ess.

Very good update but teleblock is really needed, otherwise pking barely makes sense. Doing polls isn't so good idea because a lot of people play on ironmen or other skilling accounts and they try to avoid any danger so they will do everything to keep this spell p2p.

I am from the United States and have SIGNIFICANTLY more lag on world 19 as opposed to the UK server world 18. Most of the players I've spoken to agree. I don't think this change was WANTED or NECESSARY.

There was barely, if even, a problem to even begin with. Now there is a problem. Stop fixing what isn't broken, please.
