After reading everything about the wilderness update, I'm not seeing a incentive of players pking in the wilderness more frequently. Not a single person pk's in edgeville on a members server, i seen a few lower levels in a f2p world, nothin more. No one pks in varrok. Everyone pks at the grand exchange or lumbridge for the most part. POH portals aswell. When i heard about wilderness changes i was more so hoping that you were trying to revive the already dead wilderness, and this isnt giving pking any more of an incentive to pk in the wilderness. I enjoyed pking in varrok years ago, and edgeville. It has a different vibe, the grand exchange is pretty terrible. I cant tolerate the music it plays anymore. PJ timer i feel is already too long honestly. Just seems more like a waste of time to implement a longer pj timer. I bet if the pvp and wilderness was actually worked on in a good manner more people would consider it and pk more and possibly draw more people back that was cleary lost over the years. No clue where you got your statistics but i know i wasnt one of them thats for sure.

some good and bad here

good: i like the mystic staff buff, its about time

bad, no don't touch the d hide. just find a better nerf by creating another use for d hides so the price goes up....like making a high tier sail for the new sailing skill

really bad: wtf what why do you hate iron men? if its a multi combat boss "pseudo" multi combat i mean then let me get the drop if i do the most damage.

when am i EVER going to be alone to do 100% of the damage myself? that's not fair plz add a new skill

"Speaking of which, no changes are planned at present for multi-way combat zones, and we expect those areas to remain suitable for those of you who want to group up and fight against other players." Slight currection at the end: Most of the time multi combat zones arn't playerS vs playerS, it's playerS vs A player . So please, fix ice barrage or teleblock already.. Or even better, fix the ice barrage+teleblock combo!

I can't speak for pve, but please just stop talking about Dinh’s Bulwark in relation to pvp already. People who use it in wildy are more or less only there to do pve chores they are forced into wildy to do. Fix the content so that PVE'ers arn't forced into PVP situations instead of saying a DEFENSIVE shield is too OP for a PVE'ER running away from a PVP'ER

Yep osrs is dying. Glad WoW is doing so great and not wasting time changing things in such a negative way. Just seeing the first sentence of the news post shows how out of touch jagex is with the player base and community. Won't be renewing my membership this time around. Yep osrs is dying.

Looking forward to the revenants and slayer. I'm ready for the extra reward for a risk of getting killed. Thank you for coming up with something like this. I bet most people responding negative to this dont have many pks. END Total 1750+

Further proof that the poll system is now completely pointless as you are clearly doing whatever you like and calling it rebalancing.

Game is on a downward spiral.

So glad i cancelled my members subs and stopped using bonds for members on my other 2 accounts.

Green dhide nerf defense is severe and will have a massive effect on ftp players.

Should we not be focusing on 1v1 low wildy pking instead of deep wildy pking where clan pking will only prevail? maybe like bring E.P back so more people will want to try it in a fair fight then gettin ganked by 20 guys on 1 little guy. ouch just that image alone hurts to think of *sad face*

Single plus combat is insane when you consider the implications, the majority of people that play this game are proven in your polls to not take part in pvp activity and yet those that do ultimately go into the wilderness will now be griefed further.

Farming green drags for bones for prayer? Nope
Fighting wildy bosses for a d pick (disregarding kbd)? Lol don't be silly
Clue scroll zammy wizard? Behave
Wildy slayer? Lmfao

You aren't polling it not because you're afraid of sabotage but because you know it isn't what the majority wants. Are you going to address the fact black d hide will be terrible for pvm moving forward? But you can use blessed I heard you say? Yeah sure let me get it from clues, may the rng be with you.

What appealed to me in returning to osrs was one simple fact, all updates was polled, it seems more and more yournplayer bases opinion is invalid.

I cancelled my membership on both accounts the other week, I've been considering playing a new MMO but I decided to try an ironman, the content is already challenging enough but to add another layer of BS when it comes to the wildy?

I am not an active PKer, so these changes probably mean something very different to me than someone who spends most of their time PKing. That being said, I'm very excited to see you guys making large/swathing changes in an attempt to rejuvinate such an iconic area of the game.

I am sure everyone expects these changes to be experimental in nature and they will no doubt be revisited and tweaked as time goes on as I'm sure it's impossible to get it right first time.

The changes put forward are very appealing to me (as someone who goes to the wilderness only to PvM/skill and I hope a healthy balance can be found to keep PKers and PvMers happy.

Either way, I'm glad you guys are making changes for the health of the game. Enjoy yourself!

I'm happy to see most of these changes going through so far. Singles-plus everywhere fixes a lot of NPC boxing issues that are... well, cheesy for a place thats supposed to be so high risk. I'm especially looking forward to a solution to skull tricking so I'd be able to fight back without having to resort to auto-retaliate which is as clunky as can be for a current solution. I haven't touched revs or wildy slayer much so I can't talk much about those but the overall improvements to who can attack who and when looks like a great global wildy change.

All that said, regarding some skilling activities in the wilderness, particularly chaos altar (and more generally, in multicombat zones). I think not being to offer bones while under attack isn't a good move there; the zone is already multicombat so boxing isn't even possible, and part of what I liked so much about the suicide strategy was being tanky enough to offer all of my bones before dying and leaving the pker with nothing (and if I had enough time/hp left, spite them with a few swings). Some of the changes to skulltricking might help by allowing less-risky retaliation, but given the area is a multicombat zone the player is more likely to just get piled by a clan anyway, so the solution is to just keep offering bones to make the most out of the trip. If this gets disabled that ability will be removed and that will definitely be a negative impact for at least my experience.
