My thought on PVP update; My opinions

As the PVP update came on today, I was excited just as every other Runescape player, happy that pking has finally returned after a 10 month absence. However, being the doubtful player that I am, and the fact that I know Jagex has failed us time and tiem again, I entered the new PVP world with hesitation.

My thoughts
Positives:
It's PVP, if you like hacking ppl's heads off for some possible drops, this is your thing
Finally revenge against those pesky noobs
The whole world is a pking zone
Awesome world change screen (finally Jagex gets smart)

Negatives:
Massive lag (first thing I noticed), so many people in 1 area, takes 2-3 seconds for your CPU to response
100% Chaos (no rules, people just hitting each other randomly it seems)
Altar hugging noobs, pjings noobs, protection prayer noobs, safers, looters, o ya....all those lovely peoples (guess what, they r back!)
Horrible loot (I koed two lv 126s carrying full rune, and only got 1 full helm and some chaos runes) ---- As for the rare 8m item drops, those are rarer than visage drops (haha nice one Jagex)
People run like crazy, no one seems to stand around and fight (waste of time/food)

Well, I've had my first experience with PVP, and in my opinion, Jagex has failed us again. The PVP will not bring significant wealth to pkers, as the drops are random and based on a loot-generator. Also, there is a higher chance of you dying with decent items than getting a ko and getting a good drop (money hole?). Tell me what you guys think, but I give this update a 2/10

*Also, I just found this out, the new summoning lv thing, it rlly gets in the way for those pesky low lv monsters (Wild Dogs). I was lv 131 b4, and now I'm Lv 121 + 10, causing them to attack me again (Son of a Bitch), now I'm forced to take familiars each time*

Meh, Jagex will probably do some fixes to PvP worlds if this is the case.

Quick question regarding PvP worlds: Is the whole of Varrock PvP free, or just the banks and the GE?

Give it time. The lag will get better, as most people give up on PVP. Good advantage, though, is that if you position yourself in a great training area, then hop to a PVP world, you will likely be very lucky.


Overall I do have to rate this as a total fail on fagex tho.
