Bonus Friday Update: PJ Timer

Recommended Posts

Pkers rejoice... PJers - well, suck it up :\

 

Following recent player feedback we have just hotfixed in a PJ (or Pile jumping) timer.

 

Pile jumping is a method of player killing that involves taking advantage of a player who is potentially low on health, healing items and adrenaline, by attacking them after they have just been in a fight. Pile jumping is a problem that is commonly reported to us and as of today it should be a thing of the past.

 

After killing a player in single way wilderness you will gain 10 seconds of immunity from players. This should give you time to heal up and begin looting before another player can attack you.

 

This immunity will clear if you:

1) Wait 10 seconds

2) Enter a multi-way area

3) Attack another player

 

When the timer is put on you and when it is taken off you will see a message above your head and in the chat box.

 

Have a great weekend PKing!

hopefully it is ten actual seconds and not ten "runescape seconds"

What do you mean by ten "RuneScape seconds?"  Ten game ticks?

"Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art?

Ten "game ticks" is 6 real seconds.

I'm well aware, but I was pretty sure ten seconds meant ten seconds (they used to have such a timer before, remember?).  I guess we'll find out.

Too bad they didn't have this back in 2006 when it was at its worst. Though I never died from PJ'ing anyway since I was a tank :D

Or during the several years right before EoC where people kept complaining on forums asking for a PJ timer and Jagex never delivering.

I think they had something of this sort in PVP worlds (in the later stages), if I am not mistaken.
