What Rs2 Could Learn From the Rsc Pk System

[meb]

i know theres going to be alot of anti pk spam/flame but im sick of how rs2 is really ruining pking now unless your uber good u might get a kill.now heres what i think rs2 could learn from rsc pk system.

 

#1:no leaving the combat for the first 3 mins

 

#2:no eating while during combat

 

 

 

if these things were brought back i think pking would become a little more enjoyable.

 

 

 

If your dds specs are faster, you win. Nice combat system.

First of all, what a stupid suggestion

 

 

 

How many people here can honestly say they were around durring rsc, let alone pked alot? You'r not going to get many good replies, but here's my opinion. Rsc had three real aspects that made a diference, in game skills, luck, and catch. In game skills made a huge diference, especialy with the old combat calculator. A pure could easily hit half it's combat level (56 could hit a 28 with r2h), if they had the right stats. Luck is luck, and with a 3 round system luck mattered alot. Unfortuntly, luck is bad because it lets bad kids get good hits ;) Last is catch, and was really the only thing that kept rsc pking alive. If you could catch and had catch, you could reattack them while they run. Without it they could just easily run away without any way to stop them.

 

 

 

The skills part of pking had been seriously downgraded, and has put alot more focus on actual pking talent. This is both good and bad, however you want to see it. Luck is still here, and that 31-29 dagger combo will ko an opponent 99% of the time, but plays a slightly less role. THe last is catch, wich is obsolete now with the introduction of bind spells as well as attacking while they run. I think getting rid of the 3 hits system was a good move on jagex's part as long as they balenced the system out. The right timing between eating food, the right ammount of damage done based on stats, and good weapons make the system work well.

 

 

 

So in conclusion, rs2 is fine, get over it 8-)

I can. You say the bind spells and teleblock compensate for the removal of the 3-round combat system correct? If not you, then someone said that. In order to bind and teleblock, you need a very high magic level, quite a bit of money to waste on runes, and a ton of inventory spaces to hold several different kinds of runes. So in order to kill someone who will not fight you to the death, you either have to get an extremely lucky spec and the person has to be dumb enough not to eat, or the necessary things for casting binds and such. On RSC, you could go out with weapon, ammy, armor, and an inventory full of food, and still kill someone, as long as you had skill. You don't need skill to pk on RS2. "dood you need skill to no when to drink and eat and change weapons." That's easy. That's not skill, thats just going out and pking in the wilderness a few times or watch a few videos and you got it. On RSC it took a long time to learn now to catch, AND you had to eat/turn prays off WHILE you try to catch someone.

 

 

 

 

 

Someone said something about the prayers on RS2. I agree they are okay, but they are lame in the wilderness. Even fighting NPC's, the way you could do it on RSC was better you. You just needed a little bit of skill, and no lag in order to kill a high level monster only using ~3 prayer points. You could put on paralyze monster as you got hit, and take it off when hitting. With a bit more skill, you could do this with multiple prayers. RS2 you just sit there and watch you hit a monster while he hits 0's on you while conserving no prayer.

 

 

 

Overall, fighting RSC > RS2. Skils, RS2 > RSC by far.

I'd just say same system as in RSC... I have to say that i have owned pures in RSC as i got like 60 def and 76 str and so on with combat nearly 90... tho i have got owned by pures too... there the pking was really a skill, who could catch. And the 3 round system... just ownage, ok you could die there but you could win... and that you could range/mage in full runes owned... these new systems pls... if you want make it good you need to carry 2 sets + pots... not much room for food -.-

LMAO what makes this even funnier is that a DF member posted it. :D all you do is run and tree hug.....

Ok just to clarify, it was 3 rounds not 3 mins, typing error i guess. I do agree that meele pk is not as dangerous nowdays. Back in rsc i was scared of thoose pure meele pkers, now i'm afraid of mages i have no chance to escape them when they surprise me. Back in rsc i don't remember seeing anyone pking with magic. So the positive thing is that magic is more useful and the negative is that meele is less effective unless you're teaming in multicombat area.

The no eating in combat back in RSC annoyed me so much when I was doing dragon slayer :evil: . I lagged as soon as i went in and when I tried to run away to eat, The lag wouldnt let me and I eventually died >.>.

 

 

 

The three rounds rule also *ed. Oh, and the monsters also ran away sometimes...ANNOYING!

[flava_sava78]

3 dagger specials then they run, or die. 6___hit___u. :P

You could still teleport during those 3 rounds incase you forgot

 

 

 

and everyone has high magic now, Therefore this rule wouldn't even make the wilderness much more dangerous.

 

 

 

I have a 72 in RSC and fyi the combat system in RS2 needs to be FREE FLOWING to support things such as multi-combat pvp, castle wars, pest control and anything they have planned for us really

 

 

 

And also, the only reason mages have their reputation as being the best pks is because they target the most popular character in the triangle. :wink:

sure, would u like it for a pure who has 99 str to come up to u and dds spec u dead?

[i_D_r]

as much as I get the urge to make references to rsc pking all the time, it is utterly and disappointingly pointless.

 

 

 

RS2 is a different game, gameplay changes more and more every update.

 

 

 

Catching system and 3 round combat is not feasible at all anymore.
