18 & 19 February updates: PK'ing leaderboards

Post by Mike » Thu Feb 18, 2016 7:12 pm

Updated on 19 February 2016
> NPC's in the wilderness will no longer be aggressive towards you if you're already attacking another player or NPC, except in multi-combat areas
> Fixed a bug where you sometimes wouldn't follow another player if they ran away from you while you're attacking them with melee
> Metal spade, a key to a chest and all custom tentacles are now added in ::prices and the Grand Exchange
> A custom tentacle can no longer be worn alongside a custom completionist cape of the same enchantment
> Fixed the bug that could cause multiple Commander Zilyana's to be spawned for Ironman mode players
> Fixed the bug that made the combat interface not immediate update when switching to a Korasi's sword or Armadyl Crossbow
> The Trident of the Seas now has a passive +20% accuracy bonus
> The Dharok's set has received a small accuracy bonus when you're at lower hitpoints
> Fixed a bug where losing a stack of items would cost you too many coins if the stack went to your refund box on death (mostly applies to Ironman mode players). If you have a stack of items in your refund box that costs too much, please post a refund thread and we'll sort it out for you


Updated on 18 February 2016
> Ironman Mode players can now participate in all events, except +50% and double XP events (for now). So yes, they can participate in this week's Kraken and Saradomin GWD events!
> Fixed the Kraken safespot (for good this time)
> Fixed a bug that allowed players to continue to kill the Kraken even after their slayer task was over
> Steel and mithril dragons now drop steel and mithril bars
> Kraken event has started (see viewtopic.php?f=10&t=54191)

> PK'ing leaderboards released! You can check these leaderboards in Edgeville.
There are 5 different leaderboards, each of them will show the 5 highest ranked players who in the past 7 days have obtained:
- The most Bounty Hunter kills
- The highest tier of Bounty Hunter emblem
- The highest Bounty Hunter target streak
- The most overall kills
- The highest killstreak

If there's a tie between players, then the most recent one will take precedence.


Being ranked in any of the leaderboards will give you the following benefits:
- Rank 1 - 5: all BH penalties are halved and you get double PkHonor points on any kill
- Rank 1 - 4: +50% chance of obtaining an artifact on a BH kill and +20% chance on clue scrolls from wilderness monsters
- Rank 1 - 3: 25% chance of getting +2 emblem levels intead of +1 on kill and double slayer points from wilderness monsters
- Rank 1 - 2: a small chance of obtaining an elite clue scroll from any player kill
- Rank 1: a chance to randomly receive 1K - 25K free bounty hunter points on a BH kill and a chance to receive 50 - 300 PkHonor Points on any player kill

To clarify, this means a player ranked first in a leaderboard gets all of the 5 benefits listed above. If you're ranked in multiple leaderboards, then only your highest rank will count.

Melee Option or Multi-Cannon on kraken

Post by Wyvern » Thu Feb 18, 2016 8:38 pm

Mike i noticed there is a spot on the shore near kraken where you can use a halberd. There is also enough room for a dwarf multi-cannon to be placed. Maybe we could see some interesting improvements to kraken in the future.

A cannon can indeed be placed, but the Kraken is immune to cannon damage :mrgreen:

Also, the kraken is immune against any and all melee damage so even if you could reach it with a halberd, it won't do much good.

But thanks for pointing it out, you never know if I missed something, right? And I'd rather have 10 players reporting the same bug than nobody at all (which happens all the time - people assume a bug was already reported when it often wasn't).
