Sheckky Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Duel Arena (free players and members)The Duel Arena has been given a great big graphical polish, bringing it up to the standard of the Al Kharid rework that came with the Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough quests last year. Go head-to-head against your chosen foe amid flowing banners, rough-hewn masonry and sand-blasted ruins; there's no more fitting place in RuneScape to prove your worth in one-on-one PvP combat.We've made some structural and technical tweaks, too: there are new, dedicated arenas for boxing matches and summoning-enabled duels, and - while there are fewer visible combat arenas - starting a duel when they're full up will automatically generate an instance for you, so you'll always have a place to fight. If you've not ventured out to the Duel Arena before, there's never been a better time to do so. In the arena, you can get a taste of PvP combat with no chance of losing your hard-earned gear. You set the conditions of the fights: you can duel for a mutually agreed stake of items or gold coins, or just enjoy a friendly scrap for fun and bragging rights. You can set other conditions too: fancy a muscular brawl just with melee weapons? No problem. Think crossbows at dawn are the only civilized way to settle a dispute? That can be arranged. You can even claim a duellist's cap from the mightily moustachioed Estocada, which can be upgraded as you rack up wins for improved looks, an emote, and the ability to transform into a statue commemorating your victories.The gauntlet's been thrown down. Go forth and duel!Mod Wilson Behind the Scenes VideoTake a tour of the improved Duel Arena in our latest Behind the Scenes video. There's information about the benefits that the HTML5 Graphics Engine will bring to RuneScape 3, too: In Other NewsWant to mix up the music for your travels around Gielinor?

See here for details.From Friday, look out for some all-new super rares on the Squeal of Fortune. More details to come soon. Also new soloman outfit & emotes if anyone cares: I never dueled so this doesn't affect me but if you do, the instanced duels is pretty handy. Earth outfit looks boss as well. Link to comment
Beric Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If this next update doesn't come with a quest or something new I just might cry. Weren't they going to cut back on Solomon/SoF updates? Glad they took that to heart. Link to comment
Sheckky Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I wish instead of Soloman/SoF they put back some more into the loyalty shop. Link to comment

*Tom* Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was top 25 tournament rank at one point. There was actually a group of people who did it pretty regularly and you could make bank. Link to comment
