A Reasonable PK Anywhere Idea from Non-pker

[db300]

Felt bored so I looked up what bluewalling was.

 

 

 

It is the act of attacking someone who has their PvP flag up when you don't yet have yours up. It is considered by few as dishonorable, due to the lack of fair chance to attack you before you approach. While not against any specific rules, it is up to the player to decide if they want to be "honorable", or have the upper hand.

Thanks for that, a similar problem happens in the RS wild. However, it was already covered in this suggestion seeing as you must talk to an NPC to activate or deactivate your PK anywhere mode.

Nevermind.

Won't having an NPC to activate or deactivate PK anywhere mode just be asking for people to camp them to kill people?

 

 

 

First, it'd have to be someone at or very near your level. Second, the area in and around Banks and certain areas will be considered Level 0 wild (safe zones). Third, considering Duke Horatio is AT a respawn spot (Lumbridge Castle), you're gonna be pretty stupid to camp at an area that players appear just inside of (and hope non-camping pkers don't take you out in the process).

 

 

 

Look, I'm all for constructive criticism, but it looks like you didn't bother to read the suggestion before jumping to get your posts off.

erm.... one thing I don't get is having to wait 3 hours without attacking anyone.

 

 

 

If I leave auto-retaliate on, and a guy attacks me and the automation kicks in, does that count as attacking someone? Because 3 hours without attacking seems hard unless you don't mind dieing over and over again....

[Inuashakent]

No support, thats what the wilderness is for.

[Skull]

I support for the most part. I'll point out some flaws it has when I have the time, but I have one that could be pretty important, Buildings.

 

 

 

If you need to buy something and your in 'pk mode' a pker could wait for you to buy whatever it is your buying and get it for free. You could say that it's part of the risk of choosing to pk anywhere, but I think it would be a little annoying to either; have to wait 3 hours and go through the process of de-skulling to buy materials, or take the risk of someone taking advantage of you and killing you as soon as you buy something.

 

 

 

On the topic of buying and selling, If you're trying to buy something like a set of full rune from a player, and as soon as you buy it they kill you and take back the armour or keep your money. A solution to this could be something like you can't trade outside a bank/store in pking mode and make the inside of stores non wilderness.

 

 

 

Another solution to the difficulty of buying as a pker would be a pop-up after(if) you die asking if you want to continue pking. This would allow someone to rebuy the equipment that they lost when they died without having to wait the 3 hours. Also if they still have equipment, they have the choice to keep going without having to wait.

 

 

 

A possible problem would be going up and down ladders rapidly to avoid dying. The only solutions to that I can think of are making pking in any building impossible, or to make a cool-down of say 10 seconds before going back up or down a ladder (could also be used for doors).

 

 

 

Sorry this was so long :oops: .

[NukeMarine]

The PK anywhere is meant to be harsh, with players that chose it having to deal with any sort of treachery other players will dish out (and vice versa).

 

 

 

Yes, that means getting MUGGED right after you bought stuff, or getting attacked right after stepping away from a bank. It's meant to be vicious and cruel and turn away all but the strongest of minds that want to visit death upon their fellow pkers.

 

 

 

Guys like me can just sit back and watch the fun. I don't PK, but I cannot see how that a pker will use the environment to avoid getting killed and to make a kill. They will abuse doors, NPC's, teleport spots, banks, what ever else to hurt one another. It will be glorious and they will create more accounts to take advantage of it. Exciting eh?

3 hours... not entirely fair but i have a better idea

 

 

 

maybe pk worlds? members only and NO level restrictions and it will have either red or brown stars. the log in screen will change to something a lot different on these worlds and wilderness will be like any other areas of the world

 

 

 

Jagex will NEVER release a PK only server. It's a waste of resources. My idea is a server that allows PK anywhere can still be used by non-pkers to play the game normally. That way, if pk anywhere is a bust, you still have a useful server.

 

 

 

I agree with Nuke, won't ever happen.

[The_Gabe]

Edit

[NukeMarine]

Thought I'd bump this seeing that PK anywhere is coming to RS. Wonder how much meshes?

 

 

 

I did post this in the "High Level Player Suggestions" thread on the main forum when it was active, and some of my ideas were used. Maybe some of these were used also.

Please tell me, whats the sense in bashing a user for a post that was made months ago?

This. When that post was made, wilderness pking still existed in its past form. At that time, the idea of a pk anywhere server would be pointless and unnecessary. Today, it's a godsend.

[NukeMarine]

Now don't jump the gun just yet. Remember, my suggestion had PK anywhere servers, but that you can go there withoud being part of the PK anywhere rules. That may still be the case here. Remember, you can go to a loot share world, but you're not forced to loot share. However, if you WANT to lootshare, you have to go to limited servers.

 

 

 

That said, Jagex did make quick-chat only servers. Maybe they can afford pk-only servers now.

 

 

 

Also notice that in the Jagex announcement, there'll be something similar to what I suggested about level differences like the wilderness.

 

 

 

Still, it will be a great update, even though I will not partake in it.

[NukeMarine]

Bumping this since Jagex is taking away PK servers. Having given us PK Anywhere servers, it's step back to remove them.

 

As such, the only changes I'd recommend if they keep PK Anywhere servers.

 

--Autoskull with no item protect

--Keep the (10% Combat level + 5 levels) for fights, with wilderness adding 1 level per.

--At Level 20 Wilderness, however, combat becomes unlimited free-for-all.

--Players on these servers can use teleblock as a level 40 spell (f2p also).

--No gravestones, if you drop an item it's immediately visible (including ammo).
