Choosing your 3 death items...

[Jackaler]

Ok, this was an idea I just came up with. If its already been posted, I swear i'm not taking your idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We should be able to choose which 3 items we want to keep when we die. There would be a button somewhere on the interface, 'set death items'. click it and choose the 3 items that you would like to keep if you die. when those items leave your inventory or you bank them or drop them, or whatever, you will have to set your death items again. so this will really only be useful when you are fighting, or are in the wilderness (when you have a good chance of dying)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was thinking maybe when you get to the wildy line and the wilderness warning window pops up then there would also be a 'set death item' button in that window (to remind you to set your death items!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is good for:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- People who want to pk in party hats

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- People who want to keep lockpicks instead of food (me)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- People who forget they are in a free world and bring their dragon stuff (dragon stuff is worth nothing in free worlds)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is bad for:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Greedy pkers

[Sab128]

I suppose it's a good idea, but 'greedy pkers' won't have to bank when they get themselves 3 blue phats.

they would be skulled and wouldnt keep any items , or 1 with protect item if they died

[fantapop]

u got a class idea there. i wish i had a death item button last nite =[ lost my drg legs =[

[phreaknet]

I think its an OK idea... but its not really needed. If you don't want to lose your party hat, DONT BRING IT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually what I do is I bring my rune plate, my rune legs, and a weapon with no shield (my preference is my rune baxe). Then I also bring whatever pots or food I want. Then, if i die, I keep my rune armour and weapon and just lose food. Obviously, don't bring your full or med helm too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While it may look cool to kill a lvl 70 with a santa hat on, do you really have to have it? I've never had a party hat or santa hat or anything so I'm not positive, but they don't give you any bonus do they?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know halloween masks give a big def bonus...

[Veiva]

Stupid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe if it worked OUTSIDE the wilderness then yeah, but pking in a PHat? Come on, thats so stupid. If you are so stupid to bring a Phat into the wilderness, you need to lose it. Anyway, how much protect does a Phat give? +0. People wouldn't EVER worry about losing their whip, maul, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-- No holiday item gives defence.

[spooferfish]

I agree, stupid. No one would lose dmed, whips, or whatever anymore.

[Jackaler]

ok let me try to explain this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the current system ALREADY trys to give you the 3 most valuable items. but it horribly fails at it because the game doesnt really know whats valueable. so this would sort of enhance that system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i train at the pirate hut in the deep wild. i bring a rune plate, dragon dagger, lockpick, and lobbies. it took me forever to find someone that would let me buy a lockpick. so my plan is to eat all my food as i need it and if i get pked to get rid of all the food so that i can keep the plate, dagger, and lockpick. but i got pked by a super high lvl and didnt have time to get rid of my food. so i ended up in lumby with a plate, dagger, and 1 lobster. very very very annoying. if the game wants to give me the 3 most valuable items, i might as well tell it what i want!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well thats how i see it...

[killkill1234]

i pk in a phat sometimes, to draw people to attack me. It works well, but if you die...

[laxation]

but then no one would ever pk a whip, or anything of value :?

[rocketman089]

Very lame idea imo. A lot of people actually make money and fund off pking. If you're stupid enough to skull whipped with mystic or dragon on or decide to parade your cute little party hat in the wildy, it's pretty much your own fault if you die. Most of the time people dont want to go to wild because they're afraid of losing stuff, i.e. clue scrolls or rune armour. If you could protect items like these, may as well remove the wild altogether right? :roll:

[lpinkus]

I think its an OK idea... but its not really needed. If you don't want to lose your party hat, DONT BRING IT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agreed. As a non-PKer who dislikes rares and how they are merchanted, I find it amazing that people want to wear a phat everywhere just to show...they have one? I still have no idea what that's about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I play RS to blow off some steam, build up some skills, not to impress the 15 yr. olds around me :) As I alched yesterday, a lvl 62 was just standing next to the Draynor bank for 20 minutes, wielding a granite maul. I finally told him, "go do something already." Yes, you can still gain xp after buying a granite maul.

[ragnar123123]

I'm a non-pker also, i never wanted to lose all 6 of my lvl. 3 clues, but i had to when i died, i'd rather be in lumbridge with my clue scroll and nothing else than haveing my drag dagger and glory ammy on

[somefruity]

Excuse my ignorance ragnar, but is that even possible? I mean, I hear you could only get 1 clue scroll. You won't recieve another if you currently have one in bank or in inventory. How the heck did you have 6 of them?

[Nahdrav]

Impossible,jagex only allows you to have one clue scroll at a time

All holday drops dont give any status changes,except rubber chicked and [Caution: Jagex Rule Violation] and those arent tradabele

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways i think that doing this would be a great idea,I mean,I was training defence at lessers on Karmaja with my brand spanking new guntix helm,when my connection lagged,this occasionaly haooens for a few seconds and I wasnt worried but this time it lasted for like a minute and when i signed back in I found mysellf in Lumbridge with my rune plate,kite and legs

[thecreature]

In rsc santas used to give a small magic boost, but now they dont

[Jackaler]

A lot of people on different are saying stuff like "stupid! nobody would get whip or maul kills! teh game would be ruuiined!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was the game like before whips and mauls came out?

[dargonhuman]

I agree; I value my Rune Full Helm and 2h more than my Plate because I can easily go to Oziach to replace my Plate if it's lost, but I'd have to either pay a ridiculously high price to anothe player for the 2h or full helm, or risk something else to get my full helm back from a Greater Demon in the deep Wild.

 

 

 

I know I'm not the only one who values certain things over others on a basis other than gp worth, which is what the current death items are based on.

[fight2006]

accully i disagree ( not that i have sympathy hell i been pked lost a whole wak of great stuff but to make that option that would mean that the iteams from taht pk wouldn't be droped right away ... if you wherethe pker you would have to wait around till they picked what they wanted to keep and that could be a long long time .. the pked could just wait till oneof his friends showed up atthe spot to pick up his stuff when he desided to finnaly pick the 3 iteams... so i disagree and i think that would off shoot or complete flip the whole point of the wilderness and the diffrence from pked and pker.....

[Reddy]

I might be wrong but...

 

 

 

The people agreeing are really only thinking of themselves, because pkers are risking things aswell and the people that want the death button or whatever it is, have been killed alot of times in the wildy im guessing ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut straight to the point - You didnt think this idea through at all.

[xmbxr]

I think it's a great idea. For all the pkers, maybe they should make it where you can't use this option in pking worlds. But in non-pking worlds it would be great if you got killed doing a quest or in the wildy doing a clue scroll. I've had many times when I've lost something valuable, but kept a stupid piece of food. That makes no sense to me. Plus, different things are more valuable to some than others.

[Alksei]

how bout we just change it to what's worth more on ge, rather than the alching worth. then we would keep or most expensive items. the item setting would get annoying though because you would have to keep setting it over and over again after you switch your equipment or bank.

[Sir_Kurity]

What do you mean greedy PKers?

 

 

 

As long as they risk 25k or 75k i couldn't care less what they lose.

[quelmotz]

Not a bad idea IMO.

 

 

 

Would solve many of the "waah! I lost my (insert valuable item here)! F you Jagex!" rants.

[sa121]

You guys realize the OP was from '05 right? Anyways, I wouldn't care much for this either.
