This version looks much better than the previous; glad to see that feedback was heard.

Personally I'd prefer bounty hunter to be on all worlds. Actually, I suggested this idea, and I don't even PK... But I feel it is the best way to add it to the game. Currently, the wildy seems to lack pkers and making a new theme world would just mean even less than before. However, I also wouldn't mind there being a bounty hunter theme world, perhaps a high risk world where you need to risk 50k to enter wildy. Something like that would be the best of both ideas.

I also feel that PKers should have reason to kill everyone. If your target turns out to be a guy collecting white berries with no risk, you should still want to kill them. Cosmetic rewards would help with this without impacting the game too greatly. While I did originally suggest a resource based EP system, I do get why people would be against that and would be fine without it. Although I wouldn't mind seeing rare drops you could only get from targets.

Overall, I feel that adding it to all worlds would be best, but having some option to hide the target if you aren’t pking would be nice. I think cosmetics are enough a reward, since the target system itself would help with pking. But also having a high risk would help give more rewards for those who want.

Just give us bh craters on 1 world. The penalty system allowed for nice tactics and was heart racing if you pked something good and had to wait the 180s.

Just fix some things like 2vs1 bug when your target already fought somebidy.

The is no need for extra loot if you bring the proper system back. Dont create any rip offs. Give us thereal thing.

Will still vote NO to this, and I'm surprised you spent all this time creating this dev blog when the poll failed. No, we do not want country hunter. the people who voted for it probably don't pk and wanted to try it once, **** someone off, then go back to clicking on trees for days on end. Pkers already have a problem being spread out so far, from 1v1 pking to small teams to clans, you are constantly world hopping looking for people wether it is in the wilderness, edgeville, or the diluted pvp worlds.

If you really want to fix pvp, fix pvp worlds. The fact that at 63 combat i can get rushed by a level 79 maxed out pure is utterly ridiculous. Im 80 ranged on my pure, nothing else, and I'm fighting gods. The same for my main here, I'm 103 combat fighting nearly maxed mains when i only have one combat stats over 90. Fix them to be like lower level wilderness idk mates get creative. I love the game and though I'm not for all these updates i do think you RE DOING A GOOD JOB HANDLING THEM and their impact on our game but please for a second consider the piers before you go introducing a pointless system thats only benefit is... cosmetics?? really?!? thats the other half of your gaming audience jagex, piers play because this game has the most competitive pvp environment to offer, not because they want a pink crown or something.

I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A BH SKILLCAPE
BH SKILLCAPE

you cant kill the same person more than once in 10 mins or something like that, and it requires a certain amount of kills. I think it would be awesome

Thank you so much!!!! for not letting the pking how it is now but pleaseeee.
When you talk about a update like corp/bounty hunter try to keep talking/posting updates about it so you guys dont let us wait in the dark for weeks till we hear something about it again..

My suggestion would be to create a system (i don't know how easy this would be to do its just the idea) similar to the bounty hunter "skulls" in 2008, they displayed the carried wealth of the player, if there was an indication of risk or even a system to asign targets that risk similar the same as you, that might be allot more sought after. Well thats my big idea, still technically not game changing since its basically an informational system.
Good idea.

it looks like they don't care about pkers, and the main reason (old school) got put into the game is because of pking and old combat system also what happened to power to the players???

The power of the players has shifted away from PK'ers, I'm afraid. On yer bike.

Please for the love of zaros stop working on content the community already said no to. and please stop trying to make the wildy even more dangerous to people that want nothing to do with pking. i for one have never enjoyed pking on rs and i never will. i play this game for the grind and the fun of amassing a fortune through long hours of hard work and effort. but this isnt just about me, you've been adding all kinds of things to the wildy just to lure innocent skillers clue hunters and pvmers out to get killed by pkers for trying to get a little faster exp or slightly better resources or new drops. and now you want to add in a targeting system that is very likely to ***** over these groups even more? sounds more like your trying to make the wildy dead content rather than trying to revive it.

every update you have done to the wildy is making me less likely to ever use the wildy except for the abyss for rc and the wildy agility coarse. and maybe black chins once i have the stats for em.

i preferred the runescape with no wildy at all to this crap at least i could go do a clue scroll or train agility without getting harassed by the s***stain of the community (pkers).

NO NO NO NO...
YES TO INCENTIVES BASED ON EP, YES TO HAVING TO RISK MONEY TO ENTER THE WILD, YES TO HOT SPOTS ONLY BEING 3+DEEP IN THE WILD AND IN COMMON PK AREAS. BRAWLERS YES STATUETES YES, HIGHER RATES FOR RARE DROPS FROM NPCS, MAKE THESE WORLDS WILDERNESS DESTINATION WORLDS.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT PKERS.
YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT SKILLERS HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MAJORITY NOW.
YOU DIDN'T KILL THEM OFF YET, BUT YOU DESTROYED THE PK COMMUNITY.
WHY DO YOU THINK A BUNCH OF PKERS SWITCHED TO LEGACY NOW? THEY WANT SOME PK FUN, BUT THERE IS NO COMMON SPOT FOR US PKERS TO GO TO, PVP WORLDS SUCK, MULTY IS DEAD VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE, THAT RUINS THE COMMUNITY.
