lots of good suggestions but i agree the most with tsttstststts.
also i don't see anything about giving us a reward for hunting down the targets and killing them other than getting their gear. what's the point of having targets if we are not gonna get an extra reward? there is no point cuz i can just go kill random people and get the same instead of bothering with a target if i'm not gonna get anything else. the reason the target system worked so well in bounty worlds was because of the ep system even tho it was flawed as it affected the economy and that's why it had to be removed along with bh worlds bringing more dead content such as crucible. also as the people above me said. please no more worlds, mainly because there is already worlds with little to zero people in them...this is just gonna draw us apart even more. a couple of worlds should be deleted. the teleport to target option is not a good idea because back in bh craters people would just camp with teams in the centre and team you as soon as you teleported to them. so who's to say this will not happen again? this blog needs more revision in my opinion even if it takes longer to implement into the game. w302 edge wildy is already dead only pures. there absolutely nothing higher than a lvl 80-90 cb there pking and the little pking you can do if there is any people at all is in cammy world 325. please delay the bh update and give it more thought..this update needs to revive pking not kill it more than it already is.

Stupid idea , craters would be better , we want players to NOT TELEPORT so you can kill them is this really that hard to understand?

There should only be 3 BH worlds.
1 P2p, 1 p2p high risk and 1 f2p

Making anymore results in dead content. The reason bh worlds were so popular was because they were limited.

The teleport target spell shouldn't be introduced. It has no benefit. Getting a target means you should hunt them down, not get the easy way out and just click teleport.

There is no point in BH worlds, there is no incentive for people to use them. You don't even get anything extra for killing your target.

I don't see why there is such a rush to poll this content. How about you take your time and come up with better ideas then poll it?

The way this is right now, its going to fail, and only going to split the pvp community further.

There won't be a time limit hopefully?.. After killing your Target Never did like that It was very Tedious and frustrating..

example: Kill your target. after killing him 2 minutes to wait before leaving BH arena..
That was god awful...

I imagine if that does happen.**** may or may not get the lack of respect it deserves.
Now Bounty hunter points.. accumulating over time until we can find a solution for them.
Like buying pack of gems in 50 bulks for 75 points.
And possibly other items. like selection of.. 50 fire/water/earth/air Orbs for crafting battle staffs for price of 100 points would seam reasonable.

dragon hides - green/blue/red/black - 25 hides for 35 points or something.
secondary ingredients for Herblore. like.. 20 limp*urt roots for 10points etc:

well that is all i have to say kinda wondering what do you guys think about it?.

I am free to talk to on OSRS. As Oblv Fizz

friends chat is always on. feel free to pop me a message. Mods are welcome to as well

I don't think a reward shop is a great idea.

Jagex really needs to ask the pvp/clan community for input.

There is no point rushing this up. Anything done in a rush, is never done right.

How things currently stand, this update is being rushed, and putting the wilderness activity at a huge risk.

Please don't put this to the poll so fast, take some more time to get feedback.

I haven't pked in a while so I'm not really qualified to talk about it but there are a lot of people suggesting this might have negative effects and I can see where they're coming from. At the moment pking is so spread out, could this maybe replace PVP worlds or something? Can we have a look at some other options? The discussion over artisan has gone on for so long and it has improved a lot over time, please follow suit with this!

"In Conclusion:

We simply need the Bounty Hunter Worlds we had back after the craters (2k10-2k12) It was very active, pking was back at an all time high. The only problem was the EP System that was flawed with the Drop system - making things technically Unfair for players that got A mystic kill, or Ahrims / Max Gear Kill)

The PvP Armours would degrade on Death (Giving you a certain amount of Cash) unless they're above 80% damaged, Thus causing the player to get their PvP Armour or weapons. They will also last from 1 hour or 30 minutes of actual combat (Depending on the state: Corrupt or non Corrupt)

The Drop System will be linked with our current system & Have EP & DP for the other 3 Tables to be activated on a successful player Kill.

The Restrictions should be from Edgeville bank - to the lever (all the way down to varrock's Bar by the Wilderness Ditch) And Players should be only be able to go to the wilderness in this world.

Overall this will make people want to go out knowing what they might find, Thus bringing more Activity into the wilderness depending on if a person is doing the Wildy Bosses, Getting EP, Killing Dragons for GP, Skilling With Brawlers or Just simply sitting out Getting Ep & Pking Of Course"

Turn PvP Worlds into Bh Worlds

Bounty Hunter P2P WORLDS:
325: +1 world
337: non +1 world

BH F2P World:
308: +1 world
F2P doesn't have the risk value that can be brought out with non +1 theres no point for it really - would just be a waste of a world w/o any players in it.

edit: WE DO NOT NEED A TARGET TELEPORT

YES! i love the "Entering the wilderness
In order to make sure that the players being hunted are nice and rewarding players will have to risk at least 50k in alch value in order to enter the wilderness on a Bounty Hunter world." part the most. im so pumped for this you guys just keep making this game better and better. yeah and i also think it should be bh world on pvp world and bring back brawling gloves so more people will have reason to step into bh world/pvp worlds. please bump

The game is not ready for this update, it probably never will be. The player base on OSRS is too small to separate the PKing areas like you are trying to do. This will wreck the game and community. Mark my word.

You said your intentions were to not further divide the pvp community, but adding Bounty Hunter worlds will do just that.

Either make all pvp worlds ALSO bounty hunter (which may fail polls)

Remove PvP worlds and replace them WITH bounty hunter worlds (also may fail polls)

Remove Wilderness PvP and replace it WITH Bounty Hunter (will definitely fail polls)

Make all Wilderness PvP ALSO Bounty Hunter (will probably fail polls)

Or don't implement Bounty Hunter at all, as it'll only divide the PvP community further.

I love the Bounty Hunter activity, but with our current population we can't support every PvP activity. For Bounty Hunter to be implemented, it must merge with or replace one of the other activities. Wilderness PvP certainly won't be the one to go down. I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the

Player-Owned House Dungeon.

My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.
