RC PKing Destroyed?

[JimmyMcNabb]

Now I have to admit I don't do a lot of RCing, but most of what I do do is via the abyss. I don't take a glory, I take a duelling ring - for me the few seconds extra banking in castle wars & grabbing my glory is well worth the pleasure of knowing that if I were pked, the best they'd get is a duelling ring :mrgreen: .

 

 

 

Thats so slow... but still I suppose safer than using a glory

[willyhenriksen]

I'm happy about it, now maybe the Pkers can learn to let the crafters be =D>

[kdb148]

 

however, i dont't see the point in attacking (normally) defenceless people for an item worth 60k. it's just a waste of time IMO

 

 

 

I think it's hilarious that only abyss pkers get singled out for doing this, when it's actually probably 99% of pkers that do this. Pathetic.

[TheWilch]

i pked a glory ammy today from a rc'er

 

 

 

ftw

Well, if you really like rune ess, and like to deprive runecrafters of the pouches, it's not killed completely. -.-

[rareghoul1]

hmmm maybe now if i go inmot the wildy by abyss entry, rcers won't b scared and i can pk the rc pkers! :twisted: can u imagine the looks on their faces when they have an actual opponent :twisted:

Thats just plain griefing; the lowest form of pking there is.

Black dragonhide + Iron darts = Mage RC pkers running like hell.

I wear black d hide top + bottom. A glory amulet and a rune pickaxe. I am skulled without prayer. So the total loot is about 100k when you kill me. Takes me half an hour to earn it. The chance of you killing me \ I laugh at them PK'ers

[Cryptogram]

At 120 combat I don't get much in the way of threats from pkers (I think I've been attacked once in the last 10k runes and managed to glory to Edgeville between specs ftw!). I will continue to rc whether I have braclets or not, but still wear them when I can.

 

 

 

Nice job, Jagex, making life a bit more difficult for rc pk twerps.

[gremmy]

With the release of the Diamond Bracelet, enchanting it will make you never skull in the abyss for 5 trips. Now, any crafter can afford to buy all these, letting them take a glory SAFELY into the abyss, for this, I fear RC PKing has been destroyed completely, unless you like to waste skills for a helmet or some essence.

 

 

 

Prevents wearer from being skulled when entering the Abyss. Player still suffers from Prayer drain.

Discuss the effects and repercussions of this update, will prices go down as crafting is less deadly, making more crafters, more runes? Like I said, discuss here.

 

 

 

Lol this shouldnt be feared, this should be pleased. RC pkers are people who cant pk, and who think rcers are easy targets. Anyway most of the time they get owned...

[retaxis2]

If rcers can't read the wilderness sign then craft nats somewhere else imo. People don't pk for items we pk for fun. Rs is about fun, not work, not chores just fun. So if you don't want to have fun and cry about it its ur choice.

[Dazzuh]

The bracelets are too expensive in the long run for people to always use them. You will find at the moment people using bracelets from their own diamonds, but after they've used them all up not many will buy diamonds to make the jewelerry. Too much hassle plus it's another item the RC'er has got to remember to check charges on etc.

 

 

 

In a month or so i bet nearly every RC'er will be skulled again.

Oh, I'm sure any charged god mage pker is going to be scared of 7s with iron darts and 71 range. :roll: A meleer is more dangerous than that. By the time you're dead, you cost him what, a shark?

 

 

 

True, rc pkers are usually the lesser skilled pkers, but the way everybody is sterotyping them as "lame wannabes that have no chance at killing me" is so completely funny and idiotic. They usually aren't dumb, just unpracticed. I have a strong feeling most of the people here saying "I own all rc pkers" are the people that have been pked half a dozen times, or simply never rc.

 

 

 

Mark my words; give this update 2 weeks, and it'll be forgotten. Not worth the money.

 

 

 

And personally, I couldn't care less even if every world in existance is filled with RC pkers. I rarely use the abyss - for one, laws using the hot air baloon network are faster and safer, and for two, instead of all this crap about black hides and one click teles and risking 100k+, I think outside the box.

 

 

 

What do I do when I abyss? I pack 1 dose of pray pot. That's it. I go nekkid, with nothing but maybe a spottier cape and lightness boots. If I get attacked, I take a sip, drop pouches, and wait. After I die, I tele back with my glory and pick the pouches back up. Simple. Nobody smites an abysser, so all they get are some essence and an empty vial. No lost hides, glories, pouches, or dignity.

 

 

 

Brains people. Use them. \

Tis fun is it to stand on a hill for 40 minutes doing nothing? LOL.

 

 

 

I have seen lvl 126's with full 'my pking stoof costs millions noone will attack me' gear on rcpking, they may be 'good pkers' i don't know but i do know that if your outfit costs 1mil+ you are wasting your time attacking rcers.

 

 

 

Unless i'm missing something standing still ingame for long periods of time is no more interesting than doing so in real life.

[sycosis5]

its awesome

You would be quite surprised, when your hitting 95% of the hits for 5-7 damage on rapid having 2 damage numbers up on the screen at once, health drops very quickly, and I have had much success at chasing them off by doing this, as 99% of the RC pkers, Charge+God spells or otherwise, run at the first sign of trouble. The above just skips well over trouble and instills full on panic immediately.

[retaxis2]

Nick someone at your lvl can do well over 100 damage to you with an obby maul in the time you hit 0-14. and i think a granite maul hits pretty well on leather especially a lvl 92 with 99att and 99str.

And when the hell does someone actually bother at that point? Someone who's trained to 99 attack+strength wouldn't be caught dead RC pking as they can easily be making way more doing other things.

 

 

 

That aside, I don't specifically hunt them, If I see one there my level after that run I head out with whatever is approriate to chase them off. If I see a guy standing there decked out with melee gear I'm not going to worry about getting hurt bad by a maul wearing leather, I'll be out there to counter whatever they're set for. And since [the large majority are mages anyway, and] they tend to be so lame they're never out there in more than the bare minimum anyway; 5K worth of equipment prior to their DDS which would be taken when they inevitably protect item if they were to foul up.

 

 

 

Don't sit here knocking it until you've tried it. We're not talking about hardcore PvPers, we're talking about the pansies of the bunch here.

[Huta]

^^ To Nick's first post;

 

 

 

I don't know who you've fought, but when I looked you up, you had a pretty low mage level. Anybody that can tb or higher wouldn't have too much trouble hitting you, so while you're hitting 5-7, he's hitting 20-30. Yeah, some rc pkers may run at the first retaliation, but rc pkers have to stand out there waiting for an rcer, and have to face off other pkers during that time. They have to have food, and they have to be able to stay alive at the very least. What would scare them more is somebody who can stay alive until the tangle wears off and has a dds packed.

 

 

 

How do I know this? Many, many mage wins over msb noobs. :thumbsup: And darts have an even shorter range than the wimp bow.

 

 

 

Sure, these may be the "pansies" of the pkers. But they're in a free-for-all area, and they're wearing fairly valuable mage gear with runes, they pack food and sometimes rune. They aren't planning on dieing any more thanthe next guy.

 

 

 

Oh, and your point that "nobody with 99 str/atk would be rc pking" is false. I've seen many pkers with those stats rc pk inbetween real fights, just to get a little action. It's a sport to them. Fight a bit, knock off an rcer, pk a bit, knock off an rcer...

 

 

 

This idea that rc pkers are noobs in stats and method is so...stupid...it's not even laughable. I've fended off my fair share of rc pkers, and they aren't level 69 mages with snare and guthix claws or ice rush.

[Pkmastachaos]

Finally, one less type of shameful pker to disgrace all of us. I think I speak for the rest of us when I say:

 

 

 

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE! *starts to chant*
