Full Version: What Would You Do In A Hypothetical No Risk Or Reward Pvp World
Sal's RuneScape Forum > Everything RuneScape > General RuneScape Discussion
Demutig_wind
I was just thinking about what PvP wrlds would be like if dieing in a PvP world was the same as dieing in a non-PvP world, with the gravestones and all that. As for PKing reward being at most 1 random item from their inventory.

I think in a world like that skiller clans would reign supreme, they would monopolize various areas and resources killing anybody that tried to use those resources. Politics might incur and wars might break out.

If PvP worlds ran without risk or reward, what would you do in them if you had to use them? I personally would just play normally strong-arming weaker players who were rude to me.

Lol I don't know. I think it'd be nice to live life as usual (i.e. like in a non-PvP world) but be able to pwn noobs that took my coal rocks.

This is actually the type of world I was hoping the PvP worlds would be.

I know! Especially after the hypothetical situation Jagex came up with when they were talking about PvP Worlds:

Ever found yourself wanting to say, “Look, it’s my tree. If you don’t stop chopping it...I’ll chop you!” Sounds cool, right? Yeah, but where could you do it? And when? The answers are PvP worlds and October!

(If you'll note the last item on the list, you'll see they promised MA in October of last year xd.gif)

If there was a PvP world without risk, I'd be in it testing out methods, practising, etc. tongue.gif
Redicaluss
That actually sounds fun. It's also adds some possibilty to just pwn noobs once in a while, or you can go to lumby and do a massacre to relieve some stress... evil.gif
Lol
There'd always be the goosedown that came to your spot and beat the crap out of you. For fun.

*Raises hand* I'll keep it real and say that would be me. Sorry.

Me also.

It's just so fun.

I think clans would start owning areas of land. I definetly think it'd be sweet to be "The King of Falador". Or on a smaller scale, "The king of this 5x5 piece of land!" laugh.gif

Isn't that the area-of-affect for ice barrage?

I'd try to find a way for people not to kill me when I'm skilling because I'm lvl 3...
Redicaluss
I like the idea of hoarding a certain space for youself... But once you log out, you never know who takes it...

Falador with be filled with clans all with AGS or Claws. pfft.gif
Everyone will get there best weapon.

But if it was me, I'd keep trying to kill a AGS guy in hope I could get one. slanty.gif

If runescape adopted the pvp system of other games, we could have fun.
you just have to do /pvpon
and you can start running riot killing people
BUT if you kill people far below your level, you get penalized, like a curse that lowers your levels by half for 30 mins.
i used to play rappelz, and they use this system.

but when you died because of another player, you didn't lose anything.
but if a monster killed you, you'd lose 10% of your exp.

I think RSC had the option (outside of Lumbridge) to PvP anyone if they had the option turned on. Why can't we have this again?
Demutig_wind
Whoa I'm surprised I'm not the only one who would like this. I also like the idea of Roleplaying on a world like that.
Yoko
Personally the only reason I don't go out on pvp worlds is because I'm scared of losing my items because I KNOW there are HARDCORE BEASTS out there that are like, killing machines D; it's scary.

A pvp world where you lose NOTHING AT ALL, would be amazing <3
Lol

With that, you could choose to be a fighter, or a skiller. Not both.
Gee
Well, I'd use it to test out various PvPing techniques then go on to a risk PvP world to see how it goes. No risk or reward would be a nice add smile.gif.
Demutig_wind
If I felt that suggestions on a fan site held any weight I would suggest it.
ez slayer2
I would find it fun to kill people after a bit of akilling and not losing anything



Morte
It would become like the real world tongue.gif

Skillers would hire people to protect them, which would increase the prices of the product since you want to maintain a stable profit rate. The combat people, would, of course, benefit from protecting the skillers.
Demutig_wind
Has this ever been suggested before on the official Runescape forums?
Cal
don't we have clan wars free for all?

How do you figure that? It'd be like another tab below the chat box, like Trade or Assist. And you don't have to have the option on to fight regular monsters. I don't think you understand what I said.

It is incredibly unlikely that this would happen and if it did, it would be completely pointless and a total waste of money unless you are practicing and even then you could use duel arena or clan wars.

It is also very unlikely that this will happen because it will obsolete pures. And it will do that because pures beat mains due to the fact that no main goes into pvp in their best armour.

This never happens in pvp making mains easily killed, and pures currently have the advantage as every level they bring to a fight they usually use - apart from 44 runecrafting though wink.gif.

No, I meant in RSC that's what they had.

It would be full of people hoarding bosses. No risk would mean that if the Corporeal Beast killed you, you don't lose that full Bandos, fury, Dragon Boots, Zammy Spear and any other fanciness you brought along.

I meant no risk as in you get a gravestone. I said that in my OP. Like in normal Runescape.
Mohorak
I think it would be great for a world where you exclusively get valuable, untradeable drops (like brawlers) instead of expensive, tradeable drops, like the PvP World artifacts. That would solve the 76king problem for the most part by ensuring that the economy would not be directly affected by rare and expensive drops coming into circulation more than they should and creating economic problems.
