Slayex Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 We need an integrity and QoL update to combat griefing and to make the wilderness more attractive. Hardly anyone ventures into the wilderness; the risk vs reward just isn't worth it. We've lost all the PvP Clans and hundreds of players. The same group of people are receiving every ancient casket & galvek kill - with no competition. Players are farming blood money and kill streaks by instantly teleporting to skillers and pvmers when they enter the wilderness. It's a mess. To say the least. We've recently had a few updates attempting to mitigate these issues, but ultimately, nothing has changed. So, I decided to try and help the situation by asking the RSPS community for their input. I spent hours upon hours speaking with multiple clans and discords, discussing ideas with pkers, skillers, ironmen and staff members - exploring what a potentially "ideal" wilderness would consist of. I know nothing is perfect, but this thread is what we've come up with as a community. Wilderness Announcements Update the wilderness announcements & move them to above the chat box. Spoiler Ancient Casket Announcements: “An Ancient Casket will spawn in (time) minutes in (world).” “An Ancient Casket has spawned in (world) at (level) in the Wilderness.” “(Name) is holding the Ancient Casket in (world) at (level) in the Wilderness!” (level adjusts in live time based on player movement) “(Name) has successfully escaped the Wilderness with the Ancient Casket!” Wilderness Boss Announcements: “A Wilderness Boss will spawn in (time) minutes in (world).” “A Wilderness Boss has spawned in (world) at (level) in the Wilderness.” “The Wilderness Boss has been slain by (Top 1, 2, 3, damagers)!” Bounty Hunter Rework targeting with a percentage based system. Spoiler When killing a target your target % is reduced to 0. When skipping a target your target % is reduced to 0. Your target % is increased every 5 minutes based on your risk and location in the wilderness. Your target % is increased when you kill an npc in the wilderness (level dependent). Hotspots for increasing target %: Edgeville, Magebank, Wests, Easts At 0% you can not get a new target. At 100% you are guaranteed to get a target (if one is available). Rework the rewards for Bounty kills. Spoiler When killing your target in an official or unofficial hotspot area you are guaranteed to upgrade your antique emblem. Add a % chance at receiving a piece of ancient warrior equipment when killing your target. If you kill your target in a hotspot, the % chance of receiving a piece of ancient warrior equipment is increased. If you kill your target in the official hotspot (shown in quest tab), your receive triple blood money. If you kill your target in the unofficial hotspots (Edgeville, Magebank, Wests, Easts) your blood money is doubled. Wilderness Leaderboard Add a Leaderboard at home for Daily, Weekly, Monthly & All Time in the following categories: Spoiler Top 10 Total Kills Top 10 Killstreak Shutdowns Top 10 Experience gained in the Wilderness (skilling) Top 10 Total Wilderness Slayer Tasks Completed Top 10 Bounty Hunter Target Kills Top 10 PVM Loot (high alch value) Top 10 Galvek/WildyWyrm Kills Top 10 Ancient Casket Captures Each Week the Top 3 players in each category are reward with Ancient Caskets and/or Blood Money.

Meta for gems/ores/bars/logs/planks/herbs/seeds/bird nests. Chance at Alien & Sprite pets. Ancient Caskets Update the wilderness announcements (displayed above). Fix the arrow to point in the direction of the person with casket - regardless of your location in wildy. Freeze the person grabbing the casket for 10 seconds.

Make run energy drain to 0 when picking up the casket. Make run energy drain faster when holding the casket (increase the weight drastically).

Add an Automated Message to the Chat Box that tells you how many Players are in the Wilderness.

Vanilla Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I love those ideas, that could really work. I've talked to a lot players about the wildy and market issues recently since it's a huge concern. Everyone has their ideas on what could give us that spark we need.. Slayex nailed it gathering all that information. Having PvP tournaments (not fixed tournaments) and leaderboards is really appealing to bring new players to the server. If we could find the sweet spot for PvP rewards to make it appealing to pull new players and keep them, it'll also solve our market issue. I 100% support this and any other ideas that'll revamp the wildy. It's sad being able to use wildy altar for hours without getting pk'ed by anyone 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slain v2 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Definitely in support of this. It should be enough to get people who have never pked before into the wilderness to take that risk. I see absolutely no issues in this update, and may just revitalise a dead area. 100% in for this, and would love to see this in game. 😄 Quote A slayer fanatic. Slayer isn't just a skill; it is a way of life. Going for 200m slayer, so yes. I'm clinically insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I appreciate al the work and effort put into this to try and bring back wildy activity. Fully support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Fab Suggestions mate. However it's one thing putting all those suggestions down but it's up to the owners/devs to actually implement this stuff because all I see is chatter and no action. Great thread though Quote ⚒️Beta Tester⚒️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaned Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Got to love how much time you put into these suggestions instead of just throwing them up for the sake of it. I'm no Player Killer but I know this will appeal to those who are, best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mule Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 As a player which was heavily involved in both end-game pvm and wilderness pking with my clans back on Ikov I think there's certain things which this server needs adding and this is where these suggestions come into play, Slayex has done a great job of displaying exactly the kind of ideas we need to appeal to those to enter the wilderness once again, Ikov had sirenic which was BIS range, I'm not saying add stuff like that to the server but I also think that this is Zaros it will never be 1:1 oldschool and I don't think it should be either, I would 100% think about adding some custom content even know galvek and ancient caskets aren't even 1:1 oldschool I couldn't see why this couldn't be done, We need content for us PVMERS and PKERS to offer protection services, rival clans and much more in order to attract everyone to the wilderness to gain items that are crucial to building an end-game account.

Erno Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Great stuff all in all. Well done Slayex these are worthy possibilities for reviving the wilderness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S C U R V Y Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 HARD SUPPORT, everyday i see people come into help cc, ask if people pk in the server, get their answer and immediately quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe biden Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 As much as this is needed, Zaros already lost its pking aspect, and it’s going to be damn near impossible to get them back. At this stage, Zaros is an inflated Economy server. Good suggestions though, it’s what it needs; but I personally don’t see it happening.

Space Bender Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I like the ideas and fully support them, but tbh i find it hard to believe that this server going to be friendly to pkers even if this would be implemented into the game. After spending more then a week trying to pk here i realised that The pk community is non existent here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepKillaz Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 some good ideas hope this works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron cat Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I think these are basics that should absolutely be added, the wilderness aspect of this server has been left on the back-burner to cater to the PVM aspect of the game, which is fine but there needs to be balance. Every server has hardcore pvmers and hardcore pvpers. There needs to be balance or the community will continue to lose more players as the days go on. I have played on another server that was strictly pvp based, but they had sense enough to know that you can’t have long lasting players with only pvp content, there also needed to be more pvm content which the added and the server has stayed consistent in terms of player count because of that. We need to implement that but the other way on here. There needs to be some sort of focus on pvp content. Anyways great post Slayex +1 I 100% agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamakeri Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 i totally agree that the wilderness is dead content for anyone right now. I'm someone who doesn't pk at all and don't see any reason to even enter the wilderness atm besides maybe the chaos altar. I agree that the wilderness needs some additions to make it more active. I was thinking of buffing the rewards for wilderness slayer for example. i think however that in the current state of the server, wilderness fixes should not be the top priority. The playercount has dropped drastically in the last months and the go-to excuses like "there's a pandemic" and "people just move on" are overused and just not true. Players get bored because they are running out of content and because they aren't getting heard enough. Priority should be to keep the current players around. I've suggested stuff like development blogposts and content polls already. Keep your playerbase involved and stop making up excuses for you (the owners and developers) failing.

KP Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This post is fantastic and very well made, but until you convince SOME of the developers/owners that they are just not right and don't know what is good for the server... there is no chance you will get anything back up and running. When you suggest something it only gets added or considered if said devs/owners like it, not if its good for the game... but yeah the post is awesome brother but unfortunately something needs to change when it comes to the mindset I mentioned and others did aswell, until then it only goes downhill. Ego too big to listen to the playerbase, or it might just be a pump and dump server, "people get bored" etc is a bunch of BS. 😶 Quote Proud Co-Founder of the ice cc!

Fucc Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 +1 support, even though I'm a poor elite, it'd be nice to have an active pvp scene again, and this seems like a great way to go about it for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivaldoremed Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I love this bro this will make this game so much more interesting me personally all I do is pk and knowing ill be rewarded so much will be good plus people will create so many cc's to get their names mentioned on yell( when u get casket) will be so good and fun to have will really bring pvp active again cuz this server is really good and a lot of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride force Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 +1 We lost alot of player count last weeks. Hopefully the PvP changes will boost the player count again. Hopefully the higher ups agree with this, Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
