Kill Death Ratios and Web Slashing

08/23/2019

This week sees the release of separate K/D ratios for PvP worlds and Bounty Hunter. There are also updates to slashing webs and some Song of the Elves feedback changes.
 
Kill/Death Ratios
 

PvP worlds and Bounty Hunter worlds now have their own K/D ratios distinct from Wilderness kills. The notice board on the north side of Edgeville bank will show your K/D ratios and those of nearby players.


Web Slashing
 

Any weapon with a slash bonus now has a chance to slash through a web. Previously, only knives and certain types of sword could cut through webs, usually giving a 50% chance, or 100% for the Wilderness swords. Now any weapon with a slash bonus can do it, with the success rate depending on the weapon's slash bonus. No weapon's chance to slash through webs has been decreased by this change.


Song of the Elves
 

Iorwerth Dungeon Creatures

The bloodveld and nechryael within the Iorwerth dungeon have been replaced by their mutated and greater versions.

Crystal Items Changes

All Crystal items (tools, armour, and weapons) have had their maximum number of charges increased to 20,000. The Blade of Saeldor has also had the number of charges it receives per crystal shard increased to 100 (previously 25).


Line of Sight Changes
 

With the release of last week’s Line-of-Sight Beta, players got the chance to try out the game with a mirrored line-of-sight between two points. This came with some positive improvements, most notably to PvP. However, some concerns were raised about things working differently in PvM situations.

This week the beta continues but with a new version of the line-of-sight algorithm. Now, when a player is not interacting with another player, the existing live algorithm is used, meaning the behaviour in PvM situations will not change. When interacting with other players, the new algorithm will be used. This will prevent one-way safe spots in PVP.

Make sure to try out the beta and let us know what you think of the changes!
