ecamaram Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hi everyone I was training thieving in the Pyramid Plunder minigame. I've been doing so for months already so I really know what I'm doing. That's why I don't fear taking 60m worth of gear into the minigame. I always have a bunyip, and I tele to castlewars after every game to bank my stones, and then tele back with the sceptre. Like half an hour ago, I had just banked at Castle Wars. I teleported back to the Pyramid Plunder game. I was busy chatting with a friend on Skype so I didn't start the game just yet. I stood there in front of the mummy ready to start the game, after I would be done chatting. I have a dual monitor set up and just as I was reading what my friend says on Skype, I see the right screen (on which RuneScape is opened) go black. I glance at it and I see the 'choose 3 items to keep' interface. I do not know what happened. I didn't see anything happen but then again, I was looking at the left screen reading my Skype conversation. The screen going black is what caught my attention. I'm now standing at the Pyramid Plunder minigame again and I've been waiting here for 15 minutes now to see if this is something that the game does when you're in the Pyramid lobby for too long, but nothing is happening now. I thought the mummy maybe kicked me out after 5 minutes and that I'd later was killed by the tiny ill frogs outside of the Pyramid. (they hit very low but hit a lot and quite fast) But I can say that that was not the case seeing as: you don't get kicked out of the lobby (where you START the game, the game wasn't started yet) AND all of my stuff was IN the lobby, not outside of the pyramid. Then I though that it could've been because of poison. I never use anti-poison. Why? The poison damage is barely noticeable and after it has hit a few times, the effect wears off. Also, the very little damage that was done by the poison is healed shortly afterwards by my bunyip. So the poison can't be what killed me either. There's another strange thing I noticed, look for yourself: Notice how it says 'You've been prevented from moving.'. So I must have been barraged or something similar. So I can't think of any other possiblity: I have been PK'ed in non-wilderness. So I suggest you all bank your valuables until Jagex fixes the bug that allows players to do this. This happened on the 21th of December 2013 in world 56 at 7:47 AM (GMT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helring Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 With phase 3 of World Event you can be ambushed outside of the world event areas by npc of opposite team. It could have been that.

Urza285 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah that seems most likely an ambusher considering even though I was wearing holiday 'hybrid' gear I got knocked down around 1500 hp from one earlier in the span it took me to kill him.

ecamaram Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks for the answers! Wow really it was an NPC? That is a real dick move by Jagex! I wonder how many people there'll be who pick up the phone or open the door for someone and come back to find they lost millions if not billions (partyhats etc.) worth of stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutters Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 They seem to have a higher drop rate for override pieces and fragments than anything else. I got the remaining 3 I needed today just off of them.I guess if you're worried about dying keep autoretaliate on except when you really need it off...

Urza285 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It might be tied to being an active follower of a god (I.E. overhead marker symbol or title).

Ammako Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I guess it's nice that it's a maximum of 3 times a day, but it's still a very dumb move by Jagex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wkw Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Regardless, they shouldn't appear in a place where they can put you in danger. ANY boss area. And if you do die, and they are or have been attacking you, your death should be SAFE. They should also not be able to stun you.

Thus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I got ambushed immediately after accepting the option to fight vorago. I didn't like when random events could kill you, I don't like this much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldelpack Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 OMG I was FURIOUS! I was chopping yew trees for a challenge and decided to make a cup of coffee.. I wasn't wearing armor, didn't have a weapon on me, and just had a bunch of Signs of the Porter and woodcutting urns.. A bandosian NPC attacked and killed me. Thankfully the gravestone was extended so i was able to get most of my things back - but I had NO IDEA I could be attacked while skilling in non event areas. I finally looked it up on the RS WIKI - I had thought perhaps I logged into a PVP world or something - totally unexpected and I'm glad I made that coffee fast.
