Your Views on PK Terms?

[axeraider194]

Well, i'm going to make this short and sweet, and this is not a rant, i'm just wanting to see everyone's opinions.

 

 

 

1. What is safing to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be regular eating, and is it smart to do it?

 

 

 

2. What is farcasting to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be a smart use of magic, or just "unhonorable"?

 

 

 

3. Melee/range/magic protect in 1v1 in deep wild, what do you think of this? Some say it's unhonorable, but, there really is nothing stopping you from doing it in deep wild (as compared to doing it in edge). Your views?

 

 

 

Now, just to clear a few things up, I do the first two, and don't do the third. And yes, I do get some great pk's in doing so, safing doesn't mean you never get pk's. It just keeps you alive long enough to get one :)

 

 

 

 

 

These questions spring up mostly because i've been playing Runescape since 2002 (was lvl 55 when rs2 beta came out) these are some terms that have sprung up over time, so, what do you guys think of them?

[BBC3]

safe if the other person is at full hp and hitting you high, if both of you are low then you have a better chance of winning if you just keep hitting until he starts to eat, then maybe out of luck you will start hitting high on him while he eats and ko him.

 

 

 

farcasting never bothered me.

 

 

 

pray if they do first, its usually better to smite though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also another reason why people complain about those 3 are because in rs1 you couldnt any of that, and rs1 pking was alot better, as long as the person calling you a safer isnt from rs1 then they dont really have a right to call you a safer.

Safing:

 

 

 

I only view this as pathetic in f2p pking. Eating to near full health when the max possible hit in f2p is like 33 (and that's when praying, and there are no ppots in f2p mind you...) is unnecessary. But in p2p... don't get me started. There are so many possible ways you could be brought down to nothing from 70-80% health in a matter of seconds... dark bow, dds, godsword, dharoks... you never know what your opponent has in their inventory. Although, eating at like 88/99 health is pretty pathetic on either f2p or p2p.

 

 

 

Farcasting:

 

 

 

Advantages - The mage may look like an easy target, wearing what could be described as a glorified flannel, but beneath their soft and stabbable exterior lies a dangerous opponent. A combination of 'holding' spells and Magic's conductivity through armour makes the mage strongly anti-melee, often keeping a hand-to-hand combatant incapacitated and highly vulnerable.

 

 

 

Speaks for itself.

 

 

 

Praying:

 

 

 

If they want to waste their prayer trying to defend themself instead of trying to smite my whip, that's fine by me.

[Master_Smither]

It is Wildy ANYTHING goes

 

 

 

If pkers can't accpet that then they shouldn't pk at all.

 

 

 

They just want to kill you faster because they are greedy 10 year olds who don't want to waste stuff and actually have a real fight.

[llamster]

All's fair in love and war. 'Nuff said.

[hybrid2hell]

I agree 100% with what peronix said about safing.

 

 

 

Farcasting- well im f2p so i dont have much input of this one

 

 

 

Praying 1v1- annoying but it wastes your pray so its your loss tbh

 

 

 

you should add pjing to this one

[The Observer]

Safing - I'm fine on safing. It's a strategy that works.

 

 

 

Farcasting - I'm fine with it. It's a strategy that works. What would you do if you were in place of the magician? Would you just wait to get killed just for the sake of not pissing off the other person?

 

 

 

Praying - I'm fine with praying. It's a strategy. USE IT! What would you do in their place?

[Lacrosse_fan]

Anything to do with PKing is moronic. Including the terms.

[Soulthresher]

It began as a way to keep some dignity and honor to the wilderness and to the pkers. Now it is just an excuse for some nerd to spit out because he can't kill with his leet skills. :roll:

[holiday]

Safing. Better safe than sorry.

 

Farcasting. if you have the option to not get hit while fighting why not take it? there's no such thing as honour in a game (imo).

 

Pray. you raise it for a reason.

 

 

 

I do all of the above to piss pkers off.I shudder to think if people find me unhonourable!

[Giordano]

1. What is safing to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be regular eating, and is it smart to do it?

 

Safing is what you do to keep alive. The most natural and logical thing God could of given us.

 

 

 

2. What is farcasting to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be a smart use of magic, or just "unhonorable"?

 

It literally means casting from far range. All legal, it is the wilderness after all.

 

 

 

3. Melee/range/magic protect in 1v1 in deep wild, what do you think of this? Some say it's unhonorable, but, there really is nothing stopping you from doing it in deep wild (as compared to doing it in edge). Your views?

 

It keeps you alive. The most natural and logical thing our evolved genes can do.

[Drakrono]

Everything you list I believe to be perfectly acceptable, its all part of strategy. The "honor" system was probably invented by a group of nubs who were too lazy to strategize against other ppl and didn't want others to protect their stuff.

[Soulthresher]

Seems like some people are more worried about their pixels than to keep the wilderness decent, fun, and honorable. :-k

[hellbellz]

Here is my view on PK'ing terms, and most terms.

 

 

 

Stop being lazy and take less than a second to type three words.

 

 

 

Oh, also, I can do whatever the Jagex rules in the Wild, unless my opponent agrees not to use it. It's the survival of the fittest. Well in this case, survival of the smartest.

[jjrox32]

Each of those has a disadvantage while pking:

 

 

 

Safing- you don't get as many attempts at KO's as you're wolfing down food.

 

 

 

Praying- you lose smite, which means worse loot.

 

 

 

Farcasting- this really has no disadvantage except you'll get flamed. This is what mages are meant to do.

everything above, and i'll add another most important point

 

 

 

if its part of ur combat level...u can use it...which is pretty much everything...

 

 

 

a lev 50 may kill a level 60 when the level 60 isn't praying, but since pray is part of the level 60's combat lvl...he or she has the full right to use it and totally own the level 50 even tho he doesn't have prayer. Ur level 50, ur suppose to get pwned by level 60. But if a level 60 fight a level 60, and one of them don't have prayer. then thats their fault. because the extra levels that you have gotten should make the fight even enough to even out. If not then don't blame prayer for it. Just remember. ITS PART OF MY FRAKING COMBAT LEVEL!!!!

[Gilformen]

hehe, i got called a 'safer' by a rune pure close to my combat lvl that i was attacking...then he teled... :-w

 

 

 

then, since i pk about twice a year, i of course forgot to eat and turn off pray after the fight, so he came back with a load of lobs and pked my sorry behind. :XD:

 

 

 

as long as jagex provides a way to prolong your life or take someone elses, im going to use it in the wild. why would i care if some kid half way across the world thinks im dishonorable? if i have the means to kill you, i will, i really wont mind if you call me a prayer noob or a safer. :)

[Italian5kamikaze]

Love how more than half the people posting cant even pk.

*Points to sig Gilformen's sig*

 

 

 

Oh...the irony...

[ugafan_2009]

1. What is safing to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be regular eating, and is it smart to do it?

 

 

 

Depends, in edge pk'ing, I can't stand safers. I'm not going to waste 30k in supplies when the person I'm fighting never gives me a shot to win.

 

 

 

2. What is farcasting to you? Do you think it is good or bad? Do you consider it to be a smart use of magic, or just "unhonorable"?

 

 

 

I have no problem with farcasting. Yeah, like I'm going to be in +0 melee defense robes attacking with my max hit of 30. :roll:

 

 

 

3. Melee/range/magic protect in 1v1 in deep wild, what do you think of this? Some say it's unhonorable, but, there really is nothing stopping you from doing it in deep wild (as compared to doing it in edge). Your views?

 

 

 

Don't consider it bad in high level wild, but then again, I never PK there.

[blaze18200]

IMO they should take out eating in wild. You can go back and forth for hours and not kill a soul cause of it. I tryed everything and I cant kill so thats why I quit PKing.

[trash]

True Pking "Terms"?

 

 

 

"OMFGZ WTfz J008 F4r C4573R"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yeah..

 

it's more like that.

 

and less civilized.

[casthewiz]

There is a reason they have a duel arena....

 

 

 

 

 

And then what would happen to those green drag trainers, red drag trainers, etc, etc?

[unkn0wnwarrior]

It is Wildy ANYTHING goes

 

 

 

If pkers can't accpet that then they shouldn't pk at all.

 

 

 

They just want to kill you faster because they are greedy 10 year olds who don't want to waste stuff and actually have a real fight.

 

 

 

"I have the right to tele and prayer deal with it or don't pk"

 

-Runescapew44

This about sums up my opinions on the listed terms. Although the next quote sums up my opinion on pking itself:

 

 

 

Anything to do with PKing is moronic. Including the terms.

[BBC3]

whats even funnier is how people who say wildy anything goes, im 100% sure they never get any real loot.

 

which has me thinking why do the real pkers stop people from doing what gives them worse loot.

 

 

 

 

 

you protect from melee you dont smite, ty for being defensive instead of offensive so i keep my whip.

 

 

 

you safe while im at 10hp, then i suddenly hit high and pk your whip with my smite on, thanks for being defensive again, im sure you pk everyone.

 

 

 

farcast then when the effect wears off you get specced 40-40 in your mystic robes with range pray on.
