↘️GOOD GUYS ONLY↘️
RuneScape has massive potential to become the next big E-Sport. Today, I analyze events such as Deadman Mode (DMM), Last Man Standing (LMS), and other attempts by Jagex to implement E-Sports, and provide an arguably perfect solution to assuring the game achieves this dream.

j1m YoU lOvE cOuNtEr StRiKe We GeT yOu PlAy It. Ok upload it you shit, I'll bet money most of us watch for the giggles and editing of your vids regardless the game
Bro im cwc aka castlewarscommunity. Already a thing and trust me is already been the highest tier concept in PvP on RuneScape in its history. Look up a UA-cam channel called ip405
It's okay to have treatables from rewards but we need a better system to stop sabotage and leaching
And a better system to optimize teams and make it fair based off of elo could work fine
great vid j1m. it is big picture thinkers like you that will keep this game going as long as possible and hopefully make it into what it has the potential to be.
Who knew J1mmy would be the one to save pvp?
MAKE IT HAPPEN
Bring back corrupted dragon weapons back to f2p! Risk fighting in f2p is so fun!
please make a video about this idea with the other content creators
They need to put J1mmy in the head of ideas team at Jagex. Get em thinking straight.
I think deep down, we all knew it.
Finally someone gets that we have to scrap all of those god awful modes of RNG and come up with something solely based around the reward of ranks
When are we getting Runescape Auto Chess?
I've said it for years, but I'm just a little man with a small voice in the vast abyss that is the Internet.
YEA LIKE EOC.. Wait wut
@@Stoovvee Not sure how EOC has anything to do with what has been mentioned here. Reducing RNG is pretty much the only thing I can think of, but you'll miss plenty of times even in RS3, and sometimes you get weak hits.
Oh, and RS3 has way more fun mechanics for PvP. Although mostly if using at best level 60 gear, because the really strong stuff just destroys you. Kind of like in OSRS I guess, where one solid hit into spec is instant kill without prayer.
@@CottidaeSEA tbf, that's where Adrenaline potions (and management) and the defensive abilities come in.
There's literally abilities that make you immortal for some duration, others that reflect damage, others that heal you instead of taking damage etc...
RS3 combat can be good, but it just takes a lot of skill on top of what OSRS combat already requires.
Luckily that partially is made easier by some things, but it's also harder due to other things.
Long story short, it's different, but allows for more interesting footage compared to "oh, he just had 4 lucky hits with the DClaws followed by a swift hybrid switch into a Heavy Crossbow spec"

Great video Jim, i think you're onto something with Castle wars, it already has a fundamental working preset for PVP, with a point system and clear paths, it definitely should be looked into.

Sounds like a nice idea, the thing about ranks without rewards i'm personally a fan of since i havn't pk'd what so ever but i want to learn without getting absolutely shafted . Let's hope something close to this happens ^^
I've been saying for years that the bar for entrance into pvp is way too high. I have been pking for a lot of years and it has been terrible watching it slowly die and become this twisted and hated part of the game. So many players don't even give it a chance because their only chance to experience pvp is by getting bodied by a good pker or skull tricked while skilling/bossing in the wild.
Tried to learn pvp at last man standing a bit ago, went in, got absolutely shafted 10 rounds in a row (I didn't even know F keys were a thing at the time), and decided pvp wasn't for me
You didn't hear it from me and they are far from safe, but I learned in private servers.
@@JakePkz Most players' first experience with PvP is from being forced into it. For a diary task, a quest, skilling, whatever non-PvP reason they're being forced into Wildy. Obviously, it's not a pleasant first time.
Then there's the inherent flaw of RNG. And maybe the other guy spent 500 million on his gear. And maybe he has a pure set up to take out your entire health bar in one tick while you can't even hit a 20 on him.
PvP in Runescape is like an open lobby in a competitive FPS. A handful of tryhards are just stomping scrubs who never had a chance.
@@Kraus- I agree. I would love to see some kind of bracket that sets up players of similar stats and skill levels. I think it should transfer into the wilderness as well instead of just having a wider range of combat levels as you go deeper. If you have a low pvp rank, you can run around the wild wherever you please and only have to worry about people who also have a low rank trying to take you out.
Honestly this game mode sounds fun af, Ive like never pvpd but I could see myself trying it if I could learn vs other noobs in a neat gamemode. Hope they listen to ya J1mmy
seriously man, ive never got into the pvp because i was kinda late on the whole membership and actually playing the game part to runescape and never have a decent opportunity to get in because it is just shitstomping by 10+ year pkers
Don’t waste your time. It’s cancer.
Sounds fun but it fundamentally can't work. This CSGO style gamemode will devolve into who killed the first player because MMORPGs are designed around the idea of you *taking damage*, where a game like CSGO isn't. Most of CSGOs weapons kill players in a half second or less which means there's comeback potential even if you're 1v5. In OSRS, you don't instantly kill people, which means you mathematically lose once you lose one player. This is exactly the reasons why 5v5s in WoW were removed.
@@therealdoc Interesting point. However, since it's a proposed CTF game, you don't need to kill the other team to win. Just need to distract them long enough for the carrier to catch a gap and run free.
It's called LMS
If I were to add one thing to this, I think it would be that you could pick classes. I know that people believe tri-brid is the only way to go and proves true skill, which is fine and understandable, but that's kinda for 1v1. Would be cool to see teams of 5 made up of 2 rangers, 2 mages, and a melee. It could add a lot of strategy to target selection. If a person is praying mage, you could coordinate your 2 rangers and AGS / Dclaw meleer all to attack and one tick them. I think that the combat triangle in runescape is interesting to utilize more than just tri-brid by having actual roles.
i like this a lot. i think BA is the only thing in the game that truly promotes this kind of teamwork and itd be dope to bring to PVP
But with the buy system akin to CS, wouldn't that choice be something you'd want to leave up to the team themselves? Target selection and team composition should be fluid as it is in CS. A team of 5 may play 1 MP5, 3 M4's, and an AWP with each player participating in their respective role with those weapons to develop team composition through the items bought and communication from the team. I feel this allows teams to have greater flexibility overall in which roles and style of play they can utilize to achieve a win.
I'd argue balancing tri-brid from being the only form of style used would be though buy cost; ideally it would be a huge risk to stack 3 attack styles since the cost of the items in the shop would be high and dying on a round you went for a tri-brid buy would significantly hurt you the following round if not even the ones after. Kind of like a 2/3 AWP stack round when you're not really ahead in economy. However, I can see some games snowballing out of control if one team beings to gain enough of an economy lead which they can have multiple tri-brids. But, I'd argue back to the difficulty of tri-briding and having multiple people on your team which could effectively use the fighting style with all the item switches would be far and few between (unless you're talking professionals, but then we can look back at the first portion, buy cost. A professional team shouldn't be allowing such a economy lead). That coupled with 9 round side-switches, allowing the team that's behind to make a possible comeback.
I suppose you could always just make it more original to CS; not allowing players to buy multiple combat style weapons at once just as you can't hold an AK and an AWP on the same character. Which would be more close to your role idea after all, but still allows players to have a more fluid and creative team composition as you wouldn't be limited to having a select amount of roles on your team. However, 2 rangers, 2 mages, 1 melee may end up being the meta but it would be neat to see teams that strayed from that meta and had the ability to run 3 mages 2 melee, or whatever have you.
and the idea would also be suitable for rs3. I love the idea!
Nah, nah, one of each role and two tribrids. That way each team can strategise which roles to target while the tribrids can flex between them to either help execute the strategy or defend against them. It would create even more strategy hinging on the combat triangle while also creating clutch opportunities for the tribrids to respond to or execute. Then you've got the big brain plays for your promotional highlight reels
This is something I've talked about as well. The combat triangle is so central to RuneScape, but the ability to max everything devalues it.
The solution in every other game that encourages specialization is to have a level cap. Like in League, you are limited to 6 items. So even though it would be nice on Shyvana, for instance, to have 400 AD, 800 AP, and a bunch of tank stats, that would require like 15 items. So it forces you to make interesting choices and strategize.
Runescape PVP could accomplish this with a similar item cap, or it could transport you to another dimension or something where you have 200 points to spend on any levels that you choose. This would definitely encourage specialization.
Careful, you're going to get muted 5 times for this.

@@relish1192 ?
I remember finding out that there is a whole discord server for competitive castle wars and they have roles and batle plans and all this stuff and it was incredible, but unfortunately the server was pretty dead, there were only like 10 teams and half of them seemed active. but they seem like they're really having fun doing this extremely niche thing in rs and I vibe with it. hope they're doing well. I wish they'd get ranks and cool stuff.
I want J1mmy to shout cast RS e-sports with his oddly long microphone
We could crowd collect for an even longer one! xD
"microphone"
this would make me actually do pvp, I'm competitive as fuck, but I feel like there is no point in competition in actual pvp because it almost all feels like grime to me.
random guy jimmy runs circles around fully grown professional PvP designers on PvP design
"fully grown" you say that like Jimmy isn't older than some of the devs
What has he designed ? He can only state some wishes, implementing them is the hard part. Like to see him try lol
I read the title and I laughed-and now after watching I think you’re seriously onto something huge
Yo amazing idea! I've been thinking of osrs adding 3D Tower defense for ages too. Where you build against pests then when the round starts you can use weapons, with an upgrade system to your class. If you haven't J1mmy, play sanctum 2 with your friends. You won't regret it. If you like the concept, you can make a vid about how shit pest control cookie clicker is, and how it needs an update.
I was part of the team that won the first ever P2P 20v20 Jagex Cup in 2012. That shit was hella watchable. 10v10s and 5v5s are also very good game modes, easy to understand and follow but extremely difficult to master. I don't know why they never tried to market it - the first Jagex Cup matches were Jagex endorsed but player ran, we just had to report scores to a Jmod. They've come a long way since then and the opportunity is there. Great ideas Jim.
Amazing video. I'm also completely intrigued by the CS:GO scene, and I think your ideas would fit amazingly in the game.
BUT NO TRADABLES IN THE REWARDS SHOP.
Don't even think there should be a reward shop. You finish your month/season/tournament in first, you get a non-tradable cape/necklace. But that's for the ESL, even above the competitive scene. Or to put it in Runescape terms, Dragon rank teams. There's a reason Astralis gets over 100k viewers, it's because they are the CS:GO equivalent of 'top of dragon rank'.
Dateline: Man with Microphone single-handedly saves PvP by copying someone else's homework
Could even have I’d f2p but you can’t rank until member, encourage new players to pvp and buy bonds or membership
Well I think it’d be cool if the rank still existed it just wouldn’t appear until mems so ur left to guess LOOL
Or have a separate ranking for both f2p and members!
Or you can only get up to top silver rank
@@natedunn51 nah that is straight BS. better to keep separate leagues or any of the other ideas on this comment thread
It would be too unfair to f2p players who are skilled and it would feel like shit. moving up the ranks would literally be pay to win. and also, the higly skilled f2p players would gatekeep the line so hard that i dont know what would happen. probably youd find less skilled players once you actually went up the "silver rank" and it would be an effective and objective elo hell for some people. f2p "silvers" would be basically forced to smurf and that is not healthy for a competitive environment.
Why did this video had to end... Whole video felt like J1mmy is petting my soul and hope for this game.
Honestly, looking at your sweater, seeing how it has blue and green on it, I have genuinely no idea how you filmed in front of a blue/green screen.
I can be done. It's not too hard if the blue or green part has lot of some other color around it. In this case it's gray.
Red screen
@@chipskylark5500 nah just use normal green screen and mask it in video editing software.
@@oplkfdhgk yeah literally
just inverted a mask around the green kalphite on my sweatshirt haha
@@J1mmy yeah pretty much what i thought :D
I would love a big OSRS tournament where there is 8 clans with 10 or 12 players representing them. Then have multiple games where varying numbers of players would represent their teams to earn points. Options include 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, etc bracket style event, Castle Wars variant, Trouble Brewing, Pest Control survival where the monsters keep getting stronger and portals either recover after set time or are untargetable, speed running bosses, raids, or Hallowed Sepulchre
Wow this was a special level of love in this one. I'm impressed. I really hope this works. This idea is actually goat
Nearly three years later, and they're officially pitching this idea for the fourth Game Jam. Just hire j1mmy at this point
God dammit Jim, you’re a genius
Dude, I have not played this game in over 4 years and when you mentioned a small castle wars team, I already had my squad in mind. Keep in mind, I've played this game since I was 12 like the majority of us. We all would come back for this and so would so many others. This is genius.
I have never clicked on a video so fast before in my life. Happy holidays j1mmy!
If this happens I hope to see the High Alchers standing high on the walls of Castle Wars like in the old days
can’t wait for RuneScape youtubers having an actual pvp competition
That happened lol Jimmy was in it, evscape made it happen
Twice actually
@@Di11zCODM I remember that and there’s been plenty of battle royals but a organization behind it with proper funding would be so entertaining
@@mr.mutant6432 agreeeed
I have scaped for over 15 years and I have never touched PVP. Jimmy pretty much hit the nail on the head about folks not being able to fairly learn how to PVP these days. A competitive scene with skill ranking would make me finally want to learn PVP for the first time in this game.
I can only speak for myself but this would be more than enough motivation for me to learn to PK
Just imagine Torvesta and Skill Specs in the pre and post game interviews
Jagex be like - "WRITE THAT DOWN"
no they wont :(
Glad you did not just talk about the problem but actually gave an input to make it better and somewhat on how to implement it as well. When people actually come together and bring good ideas to the table and Jagex will have to respond eventually.
JIM JIM JIM JIM YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LETS DO THIS
J1mmy from a player that also has 15 years spent in this game and that also loves pvp, I say to you: YOU ARE GENIUS!
A great way to do this would be releasing the gamemode specifically for the event.
Once there's a meta everyone will be doing the same, but if there's no meta yet you could see a lot of new strategies. Combine that with a best of 5 and it'll be interesting content.
8:38 I come back and watch this part so many times
Glad to see small time streamers like @itswill getting repped by the big dogs
You could also have different combat level tiers. Like last man standing everyone is set to max combat level. You could have a rank for pures only, maxed accounts, zerker, ranged only, mage only, The list goes on. Also for rewards Jagex could use their art team (Which does a bang up job in my opinion). They could make sweet cosmetics as reward points which are not tradable. Imagine a golden fighter torso. Gold not your color? How about purple!?! Blue?!? The possibilities are damn near endless. Good job J1mmy, Keep it up!
Rewriting Ratcatchers and making castlewars 2.0. What can't J1mmy do?
As someone who watches pvp but doesn't quite understand it and doesn't do it, I'd be so invested in this. Thanks J, keep up the good work
My mom walked in while i was watching this and asked "what is going on?" and even she knows the game a little XD point proven
I'd like to see some PvP situations like 2v2 or 4v4 and make use of the lunar spellbook with support roles for heals and energy transfer. As well as use of curses to debuf.
Answer: Yes
But what was the question?
@@Venxlaaja The question was, "Yes or yes?"
The question was how fast can a salamander order a bucket of limes filled with gallium. And then order 75 rolls of flex tape of course
Oda's tournament today, although kind of a "home rig" type of production, shows that esports can draw a lot of viewers. And keep fans genuinely interested. The guys competing were pretty unknown in terms of the general public, the only ones I even remember are 1013 because I heard about him before as being a top brid, and panic of course because he makes videos. And odas stream was steady at like 7-8k viewers. Imagine if jagex gave a shit and really dove into making the fan experience amazing. There is really no other possible esportable thing on runescape. Im not sure if the idea of a 4v4 ,16 round, half castle wars map is necessarily the best option, but they can do something pvp related and create a esport off of it, 100%, IF they create the right one.
just here for the engagement, needs to be reccomended
Hey, to expand on this (more specifically to stop smurfing and making fresh accounts) you can have the "promos" be a series of 9 fights against an advanced coded "training dummy" that attacks with different styles, prayer swaps, gear/weapon swaps, etc. The first 3 fights are simple just weapon switching with one style, the next 3 is swapping between 2 styles and the last 3 fights are tribridding. That would make it so good players start off their first rounds against better players while noobs would start lower in the bracket.
Lmao I've watched basically every piece of osrs content on youtube... AND IVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ALL-STARS TOURNAMENT, talk about poor marketing
I think a huge part is understanding. Even things we see as basic mechanics like tribridding all a random twitch viewer sees is someone switching weapons a bunch and it doesnt make sense or look as impressive. Using the shop idea (or a different idea) it would give viewers/commentators a second to explain core game mechanics that are vital that new players often miss. The strength bonus on a fighter torso or even the benefit of poison mechanics and a dds. Watching things like CSGO or LOL the mechanics are shown and make sense but OSRS is often a game of hidden numbers that can't be seen from just watching a fight. It's about the knowledge of the items the players are using.
I would love to try out something like this. As a former CS:GO addict myself, it looks like it would be a really fun time. Also, love the hoodie itswill7
Awesome video. I think the biggest and most important point you made was at 13:15. This is not a money making method for your main, we don't need a reward shop. That would fix a lot of problems with other pvp areas of the game too. Imagine if bounty hunter was just something you did for fun, but had no tangible rewards outside of bounty hunter. There would be no incentive for gold farmers, boosters, and botters to get involved.
Can Jagex just hire you for the "Big Picture" stuff already Lmfao
Ahh J1mmy..
One of the few OSRS content creators that I actually enjoy ‘in-person’ commentary/content
Wow. Just wow. I hope this comes to osrs.
To prevent teams from playing heavy defence in the flag room I think you need to have it using the old 1.6 charges scoring where only T sided or attacking sided rounds count. So you have a set half worth of rounds to be the aggressor and capture and a success is a point and a failure is nothing for either team.
So when are you gonna receive 70k/yr from jagex?
You mean 7k a year, right?
@@Greg_Buckingham No, they meant 70k yen/year.
8:35
I'm gonna be real with you. I need a massive compilation of just everyone and their mom bullying Kevin.
What about a reward shop that is purely fashionscape?
You could have end of season/tournament capes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and make one for each 'season '. In CS:GO they get trophies and world ranking which may shift around based on how they perform from tournament to tournament. Like Mouz, they came from like 16th to being ranked #2 in the world for a month or so, then they slowly slipped again.
So I'm an OG classic player, and one of the original developers with private servers, helping create content that even Jagex hadn't come up with (last man standing) created this in a private server years before Jagex added it, or any BR games were a thing. Reason I am posting, is I saw the title of this video and thought i would come have a laugh at the idea of runescape being any kind of esport, we have tried many a things in the past with private server content, which made me believe a competitive experience would just not be possible, however I really like this idea, it could totally work if done right. A few years ago we started and gave up on a project of using old school and making a league of legends/dota type game, with 3 lanes, instead of towers, you would have an agro NPC to push past, objective being enter the enemy teams base and destroying it, actually was very possible to do, had fully clipped pathing for minion NPC's pushing down lanes, got too around 40% complete before running out of motivation.
I think its a cool game mode concept. I personally see Runescape PvP as more skill focused than tactics. Barricades and a sneaky underground path don't appeal to me, but with some hard labbing there could be a specific esport mode that would be big
I think a Runescape e-sport could be a lot of fun. I've been playing Runescape for like 16 or 17 years and I would love to have an actual competitive scene. I play games like Rocket League because it's so competitive. There's no ultimate reward in Rocket League apart from increasing your rank and facing off against tougher opponents which makes it a lot of fun. 100% support J1mmy/
Osrs would need updates other than QoL content to have ESports.
I know there's been a ton of suggestions from people who are actually good at PvP, but it's good to get another insight from someone who only recently got into PvP, and what the struggle was like for them.
It was getting there with DMM, but there were way too many debacles. DDOSing, Clans breaking the mode, mod corruption, exploits. Ignoring Content creator input also pretty bad
From a complete beginner's perspective, I think you'd need to have a good in-game explanation of the "invisible" systems of RS for something like this to get traction from beginners. What's 1-ticking? How do you do it? What's combo food? How long does a freeze/snare last and how do I tell? "What was that?" anytime a specc is used or a spell is cast, there needs to be a way to learn about it. It feels like a lot of systems in RS are impossible to learn and understand on your own.
Counter Strike is really simple. There are guns you shoot with. If you hit, the opponent takes damage. Fire rate, reload time and spread are all easy to see when you play, unlike cooldowns in RS.
this is interesting to see, i had a similar idea for rs3 but without shortening the map
since it felt like a esport when small clans ruled castle wars and soul wars mid eoc era who had a actual good small amount of star players and strats like shield camping and intercept were pretty cool for team work in clans there, but seeing this in osrs would also be pretty cool only worry is that ice barrage might be too strong in such small teams
I think runescape is too rng based for it to ever be an esport. Just the damage alone is enough for it to be incredibly luck based and that's something most Esports try and eliminate. Like how both cs:go and rainbow six siege have set recoil patterns no matter what.
The major problem with adapting a CS:GO style game to OSRS is the Time to Kill. Unless you're rushing you can't 1-tap someone, which leads to long and drawn out fights that would make CS:GO's method of play last hours and would cause people to tune out. This would also mean there's no "Defuse" there's no alternate win condition for the defenders, they have to slice through 495 HP + Food to win. All attackers have to do is grab the flag. Competitive Castle Wars works because it's symmetrical and both teams have a chance to get that alternate win con.
Small team competitive PVP, especially with no monetary rewards, is EXACTLY what needs to happen.
not everything has to be an esport
Thanks captain obvious
It would be dope for pvp

100% agree with revamping existing content like Castle Wars to make a competitive scene. There is no need to constantly introduce new zones, rewards, items, etc. that always just end up getting farmed. All the source material they need to breathe new life into the game is right there.
I love the idea you came up with! I may not like everything about it, but it's a fantastic start! My hope is Jagex will see this, and maybe take something from it, and from what other content creators, and employees come up with. I do think the 4 v 4 idea is definitely more easy to watch, and pay attention to.
This is legitimately a great idea that will produce more intrest in the game, more players, and give people like me, (that see a PK'er in the wildness and just walk away from my phone or laptop lol) a better understanding of PVP play. Great ideas and process of execution j1mmy.
Now that's a great idea. Castle wars needs some love and this is the best way to get OSRS into the spotlight.
It's really easy to just say "fix pvp" then do nothing. You've given us some solid suggestions to work with. I like that. This is an awesome idea.
Very nice idea man. I agree that the removal of tradable rewards in exchange for ranks and competitions for prizes later down the line would really get people pumped for pvp.

I've played Runescape since 2006 and never touched pvp once. If something like this would be introduced, I would try it for sure. Great work, Jim! Hope Jagex listens
It got me thinking, what if it was laid out like SMITE. Towers that you would have to take out, goblin minions, maybe some random chest.There could be a dragon or a demon or something center of the map, in some lane. The rewards would be rng based and it would drop armor. It would be incentive to play as a different classes, strategize to try and get an edge over the other team.
And have your idea be the start of the match where yeah players have to make their load out.
Castle Wars has so much potential for this type of competitive gameplay. Would love to see something like this implemented
There could be non-tradeable rewards that are purely cosmetic so people can show off their rank
Great ideas J1mmy, I personally think they should also take a few pages out of WoW's Pvp scene since it is a mmo as well. We all know how important terrain is in runescape and how it can often lead to one escaping a Pker or failing to escape. One of the Pvp maps from classic wow is already very similar to the Inferno set up, with 4 pillars to play around lines of sight.
Dude castle wars would be dope for Esport. And holding a Rank above your name in runescape sounds like a badass new way to get into the game more.
this got me excited at the idea of castle wars being fun again. jagex watches your videos, I hope they hear you on this.
Honestly this is good idea. I’d watch this. RS just has so much dead content due to a lack of a player base and lack of incentive for that content, yet that content might actually be great for an E-sport. Imagine remaking gnomeball? Or what about a normal duel arena tournament? With custom restrictions? Maybe something more akin to the gealinor games? There is just so much that javed could do, but doesn’t because it’s an investment.
9:14 - B0aty would get disqualified in an actual esport event when someone takes offense to this lol.
It's a day late, but Merry Christmas and thanks for easing up 2020 a little, bro.
I don't know why your videos hit just right, but they do. Watching By Release brings back some of those nostalgic Let's Play vibes, alongside being a huge walk down memory lane.
Hope 2020 wasn't too rough on you (and of y'all reading this) and that 2021 is better, even if only marginally so.
