Hopes for the new Wilderness update!

As we all know, within the next month or so Jagex has a big chance to absolve themselves of their sins. They will release several PvP worlds, where PKing can happen ANYWHERE.

There will be level restrictions similar to the old Wilderness, and multicombat areas where clans can battle for control of places like Barbarian Villiage or Varrock. If Jagex does this right, I think we may get a PvP experience even better then the old Wilderness.

Here's what I would like to see in the new PvP worlds:

• Interactive fighting environments - Think global Castlewars. There should be small buildings or castles scattered throughout remote areas of Runescape that can be fortified and defended by individuals or Clans. Imagine Castlewars-style doors, ranger towers, and perhaps even catapults for clans to defend and conquer. Blast potions and barricades could be available in certain locations, and clans could besiege each other in epic battles - to the death.
  
• Good drops from kills - While we won't have the same drop mechanisms as we had in the old Wilderness (to prevent drop trading), you should get good drop items with values related to, perhaps, the level of your opponent and the length of the battle.
  
• A small amount of Safe areas - for example, the Grand Exchange. Somewhere you can safely store your loot and muster your clan for a campaign. It's also important that Teleport spots and other key entrances are safe - imagine escaping from a battle with one HP left, only to be jumped when you teleport into Varrock.
  
• Features available only in PVP worlds to allow more interaction with buildings and structures. Locking doors in some houses, adding closable gates to castles such as Lumbridge and Falador, and allowing rangers and mages to shoot from city walls and castletops.

I think this is going to be a GREAT update if Jagex does it right. The new update will revive Pures and Clans, and bring back the old PKing culture - and then some. I can't wait to see what we get.

What other features do you guys want to see in the new PvP worlds?

 

Probably some bs, you can kill people everywhere and get no loot. Teleblock back would be hawt (h).

 

what lvl mage did you need for teleblock?

 

82, i think

 

85 actually .

 

85 was teleblock in old wildy


tbing for teams was the thing tbh ... prh33 pixels

anyhow i really think this entire pvp shit is ganne be bull shit AGAIN.

 

A place where ONLY 1v1s and NO PJING would be great!

 

There will be bits with Multi and bits with Non-Multi, as I think they previously stated. But yeah, it's gonna be fucking awesome.

 

I don't think PJing is gonna be an issue anymore, what with the dropped-item price limit. And with such a huge map to choose from, I think there will be plenty of opportunities to find someone in an isolated-enough place to ensure that you're not interrupted.

The world-wide PvP idea is great.. Imagine setting up a stronghold with your team somewhere isolated like Miscellania, etc.. When you knock off your enemies, it'll take them ages to get back.

I wouldn't be surprised if a new type of PK player with an extremely high defense/hitpoints/mage levels is born - A sort of "supply tanker" to keep the rest of the team filled up with food, pots, etc, and to provide teleports on long PK trips to remote places of the map.

 

Yea I'm getting pretty amp'd about this PvP update and still debating on how I could make my account that I have better so that I can be ownage =P.

 

God no, how do you expect DDSers to make some money?

 

No, imagine, this. A clan leader and another clan leader decide to fight with each other with there clans. Clan Leader A, decides to defend; Clan Leader B decides to attack. They choose the location: Varrock Palace. 2 referees are set in place, and decide when the teams are ready, and when the battle shall begin. The battle starts, as hundreds of magers/rangers/meelers rush to the castle. The defender's see the hordes of troops coming and the leader says: rangers, fire at will. All of a sudden out of the blue, 100's of dragon arrows fly in the air, killing anything on sight. Many are killed by this, but the attackers have there own plan, 30 barragers kill the rangers or make there scared, and then the real battle begins. Hundreds of people are fighting in the front of the castle. Arrows, spells, swords are flying in the air. The Clan Leader of team A finnaly see's he has lost this battle, and orders a retreat. The defenders go up the stairs and prepare themselves as the attackers are regrouping. The defenders know there are outnumbered, but there is no escape. The attackers finnaly show up and destroy and overunn the defenders. The battle is over, and team B are victorious...

 

Hmm neat ideas, and if you read the news carefully it says "most areas". So I assume you can go to safe spots. Tbh I think this will ruin pures...I think main pkers are gonna dominate, pures won't last long.

 

Well, Personally, I think that the PvP will not be coming out soon. And I think this because, I know JaGEx will take their time in anticipation to make it a very good update. Whether everyone believes it or not, JaGEx do know people miss the wilderness, and the older style of Runescape. I think with this update they are expecting many old players to return, for the sake of old, old, time PKing ( even if there is a different drop ratio )

Alas, I think JaGEx will do a fine job, And I agree fully with your expectations, I can't wait for it to come out, and hope the best for everyone when it does.

yeaaaa t think tanks are gonna own the map

 

i feel this update its just gonna leave everybody down

 

It's precisely this reason that they want to bring it out as fast as they can.
If you notice, they only dropped one little hint about what's undoubtedly a huge update - I think they're going to drop it on us suddenly. My prediction is that it will be out for Halloween, at the latest Thanksgiving.

Pures will DEFINITELY still have their place. We have already confirmed that there will be level limits like the old wilderness, and when there are level limits there will be pures.

The most exciting thing about this update, however, is that you can PK anywhere. If Jagex is thinking in the same way as I am, a more interactive fighting environment will really take the cake for this update.

Imagine...

Battering rams... Catapults...

That would be effing sick.

PS: w000000ttttt I'm a Guru!!!

 

Wow haha the way you described this has got me excited If done correctly this can really be an awesome update. However, Jagex needs to add more complexity to the combat system. Players that are allied together should have more connections between each other, such as the ability for one to heal the other, and for one to boost the other. Party based PVP is extremely fun, but the current RS system is far too basic for it to be anywhere near its potential.

 

According to what you put only people that will be happy is high levels. Most pure fights dont last more then a minute, So instead of the old whip a few times and ko, or reg hit and then ko with specs people will be forced to keep fighting and spec when they or there opp might be out of food not when they have the easy KO cuz they wont get good loot

 

When this update came out it motivated me to get 89 range and im working on 90 range atm. I really hope jagex does this one right. Btw if you guys need a tank im 89 def 89 range 88 mage and 55 sum so if its allowed i can use terorbird so basically ill be a hawt tank at lv 107
