Have you been voting on secret polls? :o
The previous rewards were polled once, and all of the rewards aside from the 3 tertiary ones that we've split into separate questions to re-poll (imbue scrolls, ornament kits and surge sacks) are entirely new?
But when can we see the actual arena come into the game? Stop holding it hostage lol.
It's not being held hostage due to rewards, it'll be coming out regardless of the outcome of the poll!
It's not too far off being ready to release now. A few more weeks - perhaps towards the end of this month?
That said, a great deal of Wilderness activity – and the associated PKing opportunities – lie beyond level 20 Wilderness. While we’d love to give players a reason to revisit the PvP Arena now and then, we don’t want every death to be punished with a massive grind, and we don’t feel like players will be happy using expensive Trouver Parchments on this particular set of gear. As such, we plan to allow players to quickly obtain the various headgear and armours so that their primary loss on death is coins, as opposed to hours of their time.
Great can we do this for everyone so I actually feel comfortable bringing stuff into the wilderness? (i.e. assembler)
The Trouver parchments exist for this reason, but we're aware of the issues surrounding them (mostly price). It's something we're discussing changing!
Just like Warding, it looks like some members of the Jagex team don't want this to die, and are willing to keep reinventing it until they can find something that sticks. Are you willing to agree to kill the pvp arena untradable gear rewards permanently if this fails?
I don't want the PvP team to spend all of 2022 and 2023 working on PvP Arena Revised Rewards- Poll Blog version 73 only for it to fail yet again
We'll likely continue to work on rewards until we're in a healthy position with them, just as we do for all other content. The most recent example being Tombs of Amascut - we've been over those multiple times now! :)
- Are Surge/Wave sacks two different items? That would be bad as a nice benefit of Ice Sacks is that if you are brewed down you can still Ice Blitz. Would rather they be 'Blighted Elemental Sack' which can cast anything strike-surge.
- Why are Surge/Wave sacks untradable? Veng Ice Entangle sacks etc. are tradable LMS rewards, I don't see why these wouldn't be tradable PvP Arena rewards as they are very similar items.
- Can you please poll a Blighted Thrall Sack? Thralls are very useful for wilderness PvM however they take 3 inv spots for runes + a 4th spot for the book of the dead, a Thrall sack would be nifty.
- Unrelated but I still don't like PvP Arena exclusive gear rewards
