WhiteHorn Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi A few weeks ago we removed the Bounty Hunter game from the Wilderness, but promised it would be coming back soon. I just wanted to quickly post to say that were working hard on the new, improved Bounty Hunter, and to tell you a little about it. As many of you know, the Bounty Hunter minigame was really a temporary solution to the removal of PvP back in 2008. We really rushed the launch because of all the other projects we were working on at that time, and we therefore made a few design decisions that were not the best choices we have ever made. When we found a permanent solution with PvP worlds, we were determined to re-examine Bounty Hunter and make it the kind of game that we knew it could be. Were really pleased that some of you like it as much as you do, and were keen to get it back to you as soon as we can. So, heres a little about one of the changes weve made so far. Some of you have complained that the crater sizes are too small, and that the level grouping of players is unfair. The new Bounty Hunter minigame will take place across the entire Wilderness, using the existing Wilderness level bands to restrict how and where fighting takes place. This means that youll have lots more room and, if you stick to the lower areas of the Wilderness, youll know that your opponents will always be within a few combat levels of your own. If you think you can handle more risk, you will be able to encounter higher-level combatants simply by walking north. We will also be allowing players to set up in Edgeville, but only Edgeville and the Wilderness will be accessible from these Bounty Hunter PvP servers. Obviously, with such a large area were rethinking how and when new bounty targets will be assigned; more information on that in the future. We still cant talk to you about launch dates because we simply dont know how long it will take to get it right and were not going to rush it out again. But we are working on it as we speak, and we will launch it as soon as its ready. Just to let you know. (it was posted on the forums, quick find code: 16-17-641-58575396) It seems that the new BH will be much more like the old Wilderness, including the old system of levels of danger. I wonder what they are going to do with tragetting and preventing RWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omali Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 When Bounty Hunter was instated: OMG JAGEX U FAIL BOUNTY HUNTER SUX OMG REMOVE IT NOW Now that Bounty Hunter's going bye-bye (for the most part): OMG JAGEX U FAIL BOUNTY HUNTER I PLAY IT WHY REMOVE IT OMG FAIL Just another reason why the RSOF needs to be taken out back and shot with a gun that fires molten hot sporks.

Kimberly Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 One of the few people that theorized that they'd eliminate BH and integrate it into the PVP system once PVP was announced. So it goes without saying that I'm not really surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peronix Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Bounty hunter PvP servers? So... does this mean they're removing the standard kill-and-loot aspect of the game? They didn't say specifically, but it sure sounds like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't say specifically, but it sure sounds like it. Most likely. Logically it makes sense. Instead of having two classes of PVP servers they'd have one class of pvp and one subclass of PvP BH. And voila, no RWT issues. Because I certainly haven't heard of anyone RWT'ing with PVP. Drop fixing, maybe. But not RWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, if that is indeed the case, the question arises... what will the point of bounty hunter style wilderness pking if you get the same rewards as in PvP worlds? Hmm... perhaps BH will have its own unique rewards? Hopefully something permanent this time. :pray: Edit: To be fair though, this does sound like it will actually be like the old wilderness. Not like in PvP worlds where it's 19ish levels plus the wild level. Still, some unique rewards would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returnofmic Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm just hoping they don't change it too much. Not because I'm a pk'er, but because I don't want to see a helluva lot of whining noob pures. :thumbdown: 138 Combat as of Summer 2010 - Retired Summer 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gongusan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 sounds good, i hope the loot system remains the same tho, not like pvp :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin0001 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Aw crap no that means it will make it a HELL of a lot harder doing stuff in the wild (i.e killing green dragons and treasure trails) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDayRsDied Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am very skeptical of this. I do not believe that they are letting on all of the detaills. I STRONGLY doubt that the old wildy with the full drops will be back. Probably should not call it "bounty hunter" "Mithril Dagger P++ if you kill a zerker pure with a fire cape" would be a much more appropriate name.

Emmentail Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I reckon replace the Volcano with a portal to the "Bounty Hunter Wilderness" which is just a paralell wildy. It won't be the actual one since how the hell would you ever complete clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPandy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Aw crap no that means it will make it a HELL of a lot harder doing stuff in the wild (i.e killing green dragons and treasure trails) This will only be on PVP BH servers. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Uaexkiller Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Aw crap no that means it will make it a HELL of a lot harder doing stuff in the wild (i.e killing green dragons and treasure trails) uhh....why would it be harder? they are going to have their own server where u can only go edge and wildy....just like pvp worlds....

bored321 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Aw crap no that means it will make it a HELL of a lot harder doing stuff in the wild (i.e killing green dragons and treasure trails) Why? it says they will have their own dedicated world where Edge and wild is only accessible so it wont affect normal worlds. Sounds fairer but i hope the loot system is an improvement on pvp. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your there to kill someone afterall, so why does it matter who you kill? But I'm thinking more along the lines of: - You can only receive full drops from your target - You receive randomly generated based on the alch value of items lost by your opponent who is not your target. I could see them implementing something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddrrr Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 even better than i hoped for, if loot is same - i always wanted a place where i can fight people 2-3 levels above/lower than me. My only concern is the exits - how wil you exit from level 30+ wildy? To make this perfect, imo, jagex needs to: Put in 10-20 various exits, and 2 entrances - 1 in level 1 wild, 1 in level 25 wild. Then just remove teleports from the area, make it so you cant use special attack on your first hit on a person, and i be a happy guy.
