Maybe I’m misunderstanding, so if someone could explain that would be great.

BH rework would get rid of all previous points. You gain new points by killing your target and getting streaks, as well as different little challenges. And you get slayer-esque bonus points as well for kill. All these increments being small, with a max of 3 points per kill and on your 1000th kill, you get a bonus 150.

The new granite maul upgrade is 1,250,000 points.

If we assume flawless 120 kills an hour, without considering time to resupply and jumping straight to 3 points per kill, and you do every bonus challenge every 30 minutes.

So you would be getting 108 regular kills, ten “10th” kill bonuses, and two “50th” kill bonuses. As well as the two 10 point challenges every half hour

108x3 + 10x25 + 2x50 + 2x10 = 644 points per hour at unrealistic efficiency.

1,250,000/644 = 1941 hours to get granite maul upgrade?!

Please tell me I’ve missed so...

Why not have a legacy store, the same as it currently is? There would be no way to earn points for it, and the only way to access it would be a dialogue option with the emblem trader if you already have points.

This removes a reason to vote no and is comparable or less work for the devs.

People use wildy slayer to get rune pouches on their irons. 1250 slayer points is too high.

Great work Jagex team! This rework and design changes look truly amazing!

I'm glad to see that the idea to add the ancient and corrupted weapons to loot crates was added.

I feel like your wording may be off putting for a lot of the voting playerbase who don't like change, especially in the benefit of PvP. Maybe emphasise that these updates are concentrated on pker vs pker over just PvP itself?

Will there be a BH roster for non UK and USA players?

Unskulling is a slight problem too and often a griefing issue too

Mage defence calculations will be the toughest. Nerfing the amount a player's mage level effects their magic defence and adding that to pure defence fixes the problem with low defence accounts but will directly buff the med to main bracket that use good gear and compound the situation. There needs to be a way for you guys to counteract that imbalance occurring at higher stats. Soft and hard caps could be a way to resolve this.

I wouldn't say its in the best interests of pvmers to vote yes to being killed easier, without any offers of concurrent updates for more counterplay.

What would happen to current points in the BH store right now?

What would happen to our current emblems, T1, T2-T9, T10s?

will you still be able to buy looting bags from the new shop or will it be back to killing rats for 10 minutes everytime you lose one?

what happens to existing points in the shop. is it a spend or lose scenario like the emblems?

Bind, Snare and Entangle are the spells on the standard spell book that allow you to prevent your opponent from moving for 5, 10, and 14.4 seconds respectively. Currently, these durations are halved if cast on an opponent who is using the Protect from Magic Prayer. In response to player feedback, we will remove this condition.

So how exactly will this work when updated? Bind/snare/entangle will just be full duration when protecting from magic?

What is your goal with the gmaul changes? Because to me, the upgrade item makes the entire change pointless; if anything it will make the current situation worse. Right now the gmaul serves as a cheap overpowered KO weapon, if that becomes gated behind the upgrade, then new players looking to get into PvP won't have that option whereas the more experienced players who've gotten the points will have it and will just stomp them out. But for people who pvp regularly amongst themselves it doesn't really change the situation of it being a cheaper AGS.

I think the issue here is the binary nature of balancing the maul spec - either you leave it at 50% to get 2 specs or you don't. I see this proposal as being the worst of both worlds.

My personal opinion is that the maul is a dumb weapon and should just be nerfed into unviability with no ifs ands or buts, but I can see how that is a highly unpopular option with so many acc...

What happens to existing points? Does it get converted to the new system based on a ratio or are you forced to spend it?

How is the issue of emblem farms addressed here? This seems like it will only make them more lucrative. Did I miss something?

I just need to get good :) I truly enjoy PVP in it's current state. I just hate getting way outplayed every fight due to being "new" to the scene. I always end up getting on ready to pk, end up dying 4-5 fights in a row, then getting off of the account for a couple weeks lol.

What made you decide 30 was a good combat to limit bounty hunting to? Are there any specialty accounts that will be left out of a 30 combat minimum?

Will non-pkers still be able to buy a rune pouch through mysterious emblems? This was unclear to me in the blog.

I am almost inspired to create a PKing account...

Removing emblems from wildy slayer will never pass, these are huge incentives for people to do wildy slayer in the first place
