RS3 - PvP General Overview

[e1337]

From a current and long term player I hope new players will come to Runescape excited to try it out. I just want to point out a few things to be honest for new players, and in hopes Jagex someday will address it.

PvP in RS3 is practically dead. The "Wilderness" where PvP is mostly aimed at has almost no real community. There are niche groups you can find that still focus on rs3 PvP, but you gotta find the network of people that actually try to PvP in RS3.

The skill gap is not compatible for casuals and you will die repeatedly to seasoned players that have mastered their keybinds or have setups far superior to yours that you'll never come close to matching. There is a massive learning curve when it comes to Rs3 PvP and the community is so small it never actually became popular.

So if you're like me, a RS player who has played since 2001, but enjoy PvP.. Sadly it just isn't there anymore in RS3.

considering pvp in osrs was having some similar issues I don't think you'll see any changes sadly

You say this on a post literally advocating more PvP.

Oh yeah, good times, I remember when I would just go into the wilderness in full rune gear back in f2p. Can't believe things have changed over the years. Blame the progressive power creep that's slowly been growing over time.

There's a huge combination of issues with RS3 PvP, but quite frankly it's just the core mechanics. It's not user friendly and casual's don't have a chance. The core mechanics need to be addressed.

If your into pvp I would suggest switching to Albion online instead of runescape.

pvp in rs3 has all but gone and that's a shame, bounty hunter worlds were the last throw of the dice really and they crashed and burned
With the wild pvp mostly didn't need to effect non pvp'ers
but now I think any changes to pvp wouldn't make any difference , there just isn't a playerbase for it anymore

There never will be with such a mentality. You can't offer broken trash and expect to generate excitement. Deathmatch is actually relatively fun and has rng boost to help level the playing field some. More resources for arch, "gank n spank" bosses like wildy wyrm, need to be included in the wilderness. To create such a high risk, high reward environment that people will inevitably go.

There's countless ways, ideas, and potential, but if you just say "well nobody likes it how it is so I guess we can't change it" literally nothing will ever happen in your lifetime.

If the players wanted pvp they would have used bounty hunter, worlds that had 1 to 5 people on them most of the time
rather than change the game just accept that nearly all don't want pvp and get your fix elsewhere like me

All i see in pvp is that either mid gear cheap stuff or 1 itemer killing bots at div, they don't really do fair fight. And if they do, it will be at Duel Arena for staking...
