I always thought the level 20 ancient gear was ridiculous.
The ancient gear should be only level 80 equipment, I think.
That's why we've got them in separate questions. I don't foresee a lot of demand for the level 20 version, but we preferred to leave the option open in case people feel differently.

And i'm looking forward to all the possible design concepts of the gear. See what you guys could dig up from the files and use weapons/armor that currently only NPCs use like you did with the Staff of the Dead.
We got that idea from a player submission. You're welcome to post specific ideas if you like, but I think it's still some way before we need to worry about what the things look like, given how many people feel they'd be OP.

Hey, how come you at Jagex rarely every reply to the feedback and suggestions forums we have?
With limited numbers of developers available, we've tended to leave others to trawl the threads and bring the more promising ideas up to us directly. That doesn't offer much scope for detailed discussion, sadly. It's not ideal, but we're trying to do the best we can with what we've got.

Since 2 worlds are going to become pvp worlds i think a good idea would be to make atleast one world non +1(no items protected). This would make it so that if there are any pkers who dont want to deal with 1 itemers, or even just want to risk more, there will be a world where they can go. Originally when pvp worlds first came out this is how it was.

Also I like the idea of bringing in degrading pvp armours from rs3 and with that being said if it passes on the poll i would really enjoy seeing revenants coming into oldschool runescape as well and if you could connect the 2 so that revenants drop pvp armours like they do in rs3 that would be great.

Aside from all that and i have to say is thanks for all the updates!

Thanks for the reply!

How is it people bring the more promising ideas to you directly then? I have a few good ones with a lot of support on the forums which would be worth looking at

I agree with having the level 20 ancient gear be lower statistically, not by a lot, but at least 10%.

edit: saw that mod ash answered the question.

I like the ideas but I'm still waiting for you guys to open up the game and bring some fresh meat into the game. Why not do something like.. Maybe a year or so free to play and see how it goes from there? (or less because a year seems long) But just saying, this game is dying out and we'll need more players. Can't wait for PvP, only problem I saw was the level 20 gear not lasting as long :p

My thoughts:

We need less worlds. Worlds are way to empty already, and with pvp worlds coming in, they will be a desert. Most training areas, even with bots in game, are pretty empty compared to actual 07.

Secondly, it just needs to be the regular wildy drop system. No new randomely generated items, no ep, none of that BS.

I do like the bonus exp, but for how empty it will be, 15% is a bit much. 5% is better.

Degradable stuff is bad for pvp becuase its not proportionate in the bonuses it gives versus how much you risk. Each small step up is supposed to be, and always has been, much more expensive, and thus more risk for more power. Like runescim->dscim->whip>godsword. If pvp weapons, or gear, came in, that type of risk/reward would be broken.

If you are talking to me, I'm in the US. I can never get Jagex's attention because whenever I go on the new dev blog thread due to my time, Jagex is gone and it's +15 pages already.
We do read what turns up over the weekend, but I agree it's not ideal. Unfortunately we don't have 24-hour developer chat coverage (and RS3 mostly doesn't either). I'd direct you to my Twitter channel, but it's currently offline.

The is Madness!
What is special about PvP worlds if your recolouring rune for Vesta armour and such? 0%. And I cant understand why. why people still want it, can they not accept?
I see what you mean. Gotta admit, I've usually been inclined to prioritise functionality over appearance. So I can understand people deciding that if they can get X they don't really mind what it looks like so long as it does the job. But that's not everyone's view.

I think it is important that the ancient armor and weapons are obviously distinguishable from other gear. Having someone pull out full statius and a vls that looks like white armor and a dragon longsword is not a good thing.

I know you specifically mentioned the 4 p2p corrupt armors but...

what about corrupt dragon scim. I do not know about main clans in this regard, but pretty much every pure misses using these in our f2p wars. Could corrupt dragon equipment be polled as well?

Xp boosts should not be implemented, the more i think about it, the more i disagree with it.

Pkers should be given incentives, if anything, to kill pkers, not harmless skillers

Skilling on PvP worlds is already the best by far, as there is no competition from bots

Brawling gloves will do nothing but devalue skills, although i stopped caring about that myself, it shouln't be added

The whole premise of killing people to get gloves and pvp equipment is absolutely terrible, as there is no doubt, at all that it wont be manipulated, just like every other time something similar has been made, this WILL be abused

If you ABSOLUTELY must add those pvp armor/weapons, do it from a highly expensive shop instead, that would make a large money drain and actually benefit the economy instead, and is not open to abuse.

Also, the items were meant to be occassionally obtained or highly expensively bought, not to be cost effective at all, the only way it could be cost effective is insanely high end stakes.
