So um...Wheres edgeville?

[hippomchippo]

Now, I know jagex said that they were going to replace the wild with bounty hunter or something, but as a solo pker i just cant do it, I get teamed frequently and one itemed every other second its pathetic. If they really wanted to replace the wild they would have left edgeville where it be, Honestly, Can you rwt when theres a bunch of pkers there to kill you?

I'm a soloer also, edge and castle were my bread and butter, all gone now. If they would at LEAST make a non-multi BH it wouldn't be as bad...

 

But unless you have a team of 10 or more people then you're chances are nil.

[hippomchippo]

Yeah, That's my main beef with this update, I'm a edgeville'r for life, But now i'm being forced to multi..

[drapit]

I understand your pain.

I understand your pain.

 

 

 

+1 :cry:

[Paaaaarker]

If i read you post correctly, you said they moved edgeville, but i hadn't noticed this. Did they move it, or is this theoretical?

 

But yeah, that multi-wildy bounty hurter is quite unfair, just a get a team at or below lvl50 with dds's and team on everyone else.

Ok, please excuse the noobish question, but is Edgeville actually gone? I haven't been able to get on for a long while now, so I don't know... I went to check out the duel arena first :?

[RayOxide]

Edgeville is alive and well, it has not been moved.

On topic, it really hurts that Pking in general has been destroyed. I mean just to get rid of the few RWTs who trade in the wildy, they destroyed a very big piece of Runescape and made it into a new 1 itemer, teamer heaven in which you get penalized for not killing the person you were supposed to.

I don't judge updates before I've used them.

 

 

 

So I went online on 10/12/2007, and read all the announcements and went to Tip.It for some discussions and stuff. Some people were already complaining like usually, the official rant forums got flooded also like usally. I thought it can't be that bad, so I went to check it out. I logged in on my pure, and went to the bounty hunter area... Once I got there it was pretty crowded, and it looked like it was popular. Yeah popular for the 1 itemers . As soon as I completed the toturial I went to the medium leveled cave, my pure is 61 combat. I got a target and thougth lets get him. So I took my first steps away from the exit cave and saw an arrow on the mini map. I ran in that direction and saw the guy that I needed to kill he was 92, I'm 61. How am I suposed to kill him? Even with defence it's not that easy. When I got closer he suddenly took the exit, I had no idea why... Till I got piled by some level 80-90s from which he was running. It was a 1 itemer clan. I took the exit as fast as possible. And my first thougth was, pking is dead now.

 

 

 

After this I tried several times to get in and to play the mini-game like it should be played. That didn't go very well, everytime I went inside I got piled by some high leveled guys. So far I've always been capable of escaping, but when you go deeper and you get piled by some guys that have nothing to lose in multi-combat you're pretty much dead. Certainly with 1 defence, but even a level 60er with an average defence is in danger. Because you're automatically skulled and everybody can attack you, they'll do everything to get your pixels. For the people with 25 prayer, pking is more alive then ever. But for the true pkers, no, not only pures there are main accounts who like it too, pking is dead. It's still possible to kill people but when everybody has like 1 item and uses prayer there's no more challenge in the fights. Now you'll lose anyway, you'll waste food, have a chance to get piled...

 

 

 

Oh and before I get comments on my pure and things... It took me 3 years to train it and I enjoyed it (Name: Aegis Titan, check him if you want). The stupid part is that I can't use it anymore in the way I liked. It wasn't made for the pixels, or calling other people safers and stuff... The pking was just for fun, and the challenge. It's a challenge because you can die, or you can kill your opponent and gain loot. Monsters can kill you or drop loot too but they're pretty safe to figth with. And the fun comes in if you get some nice loot or fougth a good fight (even if I died and it was a honourable fight).

 

 

 

The old wilderniss had it's downsides too but those aren't as bad as the bounty hunter area. I think they should've split it up in more areas and not drop the level 100s between the people with 55 combat or higher.

 

In the old wilderniss you had those guys too, who only used 1 item, but it was less common. Another thing is you didn't have to enter multi-combat. Edgeville pking is way much more fun, 1 on 1. Of course there's a risk too to get pile jumped, but again that's only by 1 person and in most cases he's in your combat level range. Not like a group of 90s...

 

 

 

So I need to admit I'm dissapointed about this update, but we can't really blaim JaGEx as the only ones. Those gold farmers and the players that buy the gold are the disease, JaGEx just made a mistake when they tried to cure it.

 

 

 

And the dissease isn't extinct yet, they found another way for real world trading, now they're just selling accounts, accounts with money on... And a thing I hadn't heard yet was that they offer to train and gain money on your account for real money. The only thing you'll have to do is give them your password. Or at least that's what I read on the official forums. Although I think they've killed quite some real world trading or ways.

 

 

 

So my only question is, was it worth it to harm the players that play in a honest way? I hope it's in the long run, that's what moderators said too. I guess I just have to wait and see. But for now I won't be spending my time in the bounty hunter area...

 

 

 

This is what I wrote on a general discussion thread... I tried it again the bount hunter thing. Just in the hope it wouldn't be that crowded anymore. I killed 2 level 90s they were easy because one was using a steel 2 handed, and the other got piled while I was fighting him. He dropped like 2 rune scimitars and I could escape with 1 of them. But these 2 kills aren't worth it. There was no fun hunting on them. It just didn't give the same feeling like when you knock someone out. And everytime I went in to hunt I got piled and needed to exit. Then before I could enter again there was this 30 second delay every time. Don't know what the use is, but ok it's fine for me.

 

 

 

About 5 minutes ago I was going to give it another try and then log out after I killed my prey. So I go into the area and start running around, close to the edges. When I'm suddenly piled by a level 80+ clan. I got killed :evil: .

 

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't be that annoyed with it. But now I just got owned by some random hobo team who wanted some stuff... The pixel greed isn't normal in there, as soon as you enter you get piled, attacked. Since they keep on getting pixels in this easy way they'll keep on doing it and ruining it for the people who want to play the mini-game.

 

Some people say pking isn't meant to be as a money maker, well now it's. There is no fun in just humping on 1 target with like 10 people. To me pking is dead, I hope they just change it or at least improve the bounty hunter arena.

Read the thread?

[R_2_H]

If i read you post correctly, you said they moved edgeville, but i hadn't noticed this. Did they move it, or is this theoretical?

 

But yeah, that multi-wildy bounty hurter is quite unfair, just a get a team at or below lvl50 with dds's and team on everyone else.
