It's Trent.

This would definitely be a nice option, as it's all about preference.

Mike, let us do 10 way switching. Pking with mage is only bearable when you're deep pking because you can fc. Unless you let people do crazy switches, pking with mage at edge isn't a viable option.

EDIT: To the 9 who voted perfect, how many of you pk with mage at all?

Tater, I doubt any of them have even tried it extensively. I'll be on later today though, and you can see how fast you can down me ;)

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I don't like it because I'm always on a laptop! I'd rather have the choice between a longer timer / no timer, depending on whether I'm using a mouse or trackpad.

It's one of those things of which I'm not even sure what exactly you're talking about, because I never pk'ed myself. A video to point out what exactly is the problem, would be most useful :)

It should continue to attack the player, instead you have to click again once you switch to melee.(at least I think this is what he's talking about)

That is what I was talking about. However, it is how it should be according to RS and it is better this way for bridding. It just isn't better on laptop, which is why I asked if it could be something to toggle on/off in ::settings.

I'm a horrible PK'er and woudl have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
I'd rage and end up using the ::kill command

That explains it, thanks. And yeah, I'm sure I could make it a ::settings option if people want that.
