I’ve got approximately 100 T1 and 16 or so T10 emblems. What you’re saying is I can’t sell them & have to trade them in for points at the old store to make a fraction of the money back if I were to have sold the emblems prior to the update. How can one be so incompetent when pushing these kinds of updates through?

Sounds like a reverse of the climbing boots update which happened circa 9 years ago. :@

Hey! been having a go on the beta worlds and it mostly seems good.

I played around with the vesta longsword on 1 defence pures, and found that the damage from dumping 4 specs is almost unhealable, even with protect from melee active. perhaps the base damage of the vesta longsword should be reduced, regaining its full damage whilst wearing the rest of the set (not currently planned for release?) this would allow it to have the same impact on max accounts whilst limiting its overpoweredness on 1 defence accounts. Alternatively there could be a defence or prayer requirement, slightly raising the combat level of pures using the vls.

Its probably a beta only issue where people get a target then alter their stats, however a couple of times whilst playing ~99 zerker accounts i was given level 117 targets.

I think it would be useful to enlarge the skip target button, or allow keybinds. this would allow players who are assigned a target whilst they are fighting someone else to skip a target during combat more conveniently, and reduce the risk of getting pjed by their target.

Finally im not a fan of the 20 second immunity following bounty kills, i feel like this leaves plenty of time to loot and get out safely, the wilderness is supposed to be a dangerous place! perhaps you could remove the timer, and instead restore the player's special attack, prayer and hitpoints. this would leave them ready for a fight (should they get rushed), and they will probably be going to their house to restore it anyway...

Also some suggestions for tasks:

Kill a target within x seconds of starting combat.

kill a target when they/you have 0 food remaining.

Offer the bones of your target to the chaos alter, praise zamorak! (on this task the target should perhaps drop a different bone which gives 0 xp, for the 1 prayer pures).

Different tasks are bound to have different difficulties, perhaps there could be tiers of tasks, with harder tier tasks rewarding more points but being rarer.

Can we just bring the old bounty back please? Started playing "OS" RS for the Oldschool features. It took me years to finally come to terms with the bounty hunter arena, then edge bounty, now a dumb beta.

At least lower the range of cb levels in PVP worlds. 15 CB level, give or take, is insane and unfair. At 82 cb i can attack a lvl 67.. and vice versa.. The amount of levels gained in between is astronomical.

Why do you guys (Jagex) continue to infringe on PVP?? The only thing that has been keeping me playing. Feel like I've wasted a lot of time now. Why continue to play if you're not sure what new b crap is going to be implemented next week.

PVP should be the most simple aspect of the game. Players of similar cb level are able to fight each other.

Change the name of the game or something.. There is nothing Oldschool about this game.

Leave OSRS alone please! Especially the PVP! You guys have done enough to it.

it say's beta, yet... ugh, could have given players some time to finish what they were doing rather making it completely unobtainable in the MAIN GAME. This is the first real big RS3 move you pulled in regards to simply not giving a flying duck what the effects may cause to implement something that wasn't even polled with no warning at all to the community. BETRAYED :(

I love the idea of the BH challenges/bounties.

Some suggestions to add to the bounties:

- Kill a player trying to finish a wilderness slayer task
^ Typically when BHers see their target above lvl5 wildy they skip targets because they don't want to leave or tele to target. Also adds more risk to PvMers.

- Kill a player without leaving lvl50 wilderness (or above lvl25)
^ This idea bounces off you guys' "don't leave lvl1 wild"

- Kill a target within 30-45 seconds of a fight
^ Difficult challenge unless you're a rusher. This should keep pkers on their toes.

Hello again!

Ive been playing around with the vesta longsword some more and i strongly feel there needs to be higher requirements on the vls, pushing people using it into a higher combat bracket. Ive found that dumping 4 specs (0 skill required) can kill players in most circumstances in the 1 defence and zerker brackets, in some cases this is against players using protect from melee. One of the people i killed in this manner was an elysian voider...

I would like to point out whilst the VLS is proving to be powerful in the bounty hunter beta vs low defence accounts, when it enters the live game it will be useable against players 15 levels lower than the user (pvp worlds), making it far stronger on pvp worlds than on the bounty worlds.

This could make it impossible to use certain account builds in high risk fights, as a teleblock followed by a couple of VLS specs would kill you no matter how you react.

So, I have old bounty hunter points, and am in need of a loot bag. I am told I need to spend them in the old shop. However, I see no way of accessing the old shop. Please tell me how to access the old shop. I've read the posts, but they say you can access the old shop through the emblem trader, but the emblem trader has no options for the old shop. Am I missing something? Thanks.
