I love the idea.... but all the bosses that were on the list were some of the wimpiest bosses that can be imagined. Granted some were from really epic quests MOST of these bosses are not the first to come to mind when I think of epicness.

Sure we've been spoiled by the epic bosses such as Nomad and Zeneviva, and I understand why they are not on the list, but these characters mostly had a huge plot connected to them (notice elvarg, and the culinromancer are quite high on the list) Many of the bosses on the list are just stronger cannon fodder (so to speak).

I'm a little frustrated with the f2p vote in the recent gauranteed content polls.

Not that the results would change if it were members only (because of the low level vote), but there is a serious problem here...

Many players have not been exposed to many of the NPC quest bosses that are being offered. Free players especially have only had the chance to fight a very limited selection of them.

Why is Elvarg winning the current poll? Because it's the best of the f2p options, and many lower levelled members haven't fought all of the other options either.

If my suspicions are anywhere near correct, and these quest bosses are being brought back for some event (ie. a quest) that will require the completion of all of the quests listed, then the players actually able to do the quest will have to refight what the people unable to do the quest wanted to fight... Seems impractical.

If anyone is wondering, I voted for Damis (desert treasure) on the latest poll. That fight was considerably more interesting than fighting Elvarg, which is just a normal green dragon...

Nomad was interesting, but I have a feeling he was just not enough. Therefore, I propose the following:

Rematch Nomad. He has the same attacks, defence, and lifepoints as last time. Since his magic hits through prayer, it's time to require protection prayer.

My suggestion is as follows:

Implement 2 standing statues (or immobile NPC's). Both are level 500 with 5000 LP, and the 1st statue cannot be attacked until Nomad is dead. The 2nd statue cannot be attacked until the 1st statue is dead. The statue's attack as follows:

1:The first one uses a Jad-like attack that attacks the player at 3/4 or 1/2 the speed of Jad's attacks and hits a maximum of... 1400 AND a minimum of 800 so that it can one hit any players using life-boosting artifacts as well as any soaking armor. I haven't decided on this: but PERHAPS when the statue reaches 50% health, there is a 10% chance the attack hits through prayer (only hitting up to 900 in that case, and cannot happen twice in a row).

AND

2: The second one uses a Spirit Beast like attack. Get out of the claw's radius or suffer a OHKO. It cannot attack during Nomad's 750 LP attack OR during Nomad's deadliest attack. If the first statue is dead, then the claws will spawn into level 50 energy elementals that hit rapid 20s.


Of course, familiars are allowed. As for partners: perhaps if Nomad has his HP doubled, then up to 2 people can fight this boss (statue 1 targets both of them, and statue 2 fires just like the Spirit Beast did).


Drops:

TBD

Not to put down the idea at all, I've been mentioning it for a while. But most of the bosses that are listed are really lame. Nobody on there was worth voting for. I really think that something like this should be for fun, not for experience (Or maybe half experience). I think by revisiting any boss, it'd be for higher level characters that are bored and would like to set their own stipulations. Since the quest is over with, it wouldn't hurt anything. Why not revisit the final fight in While Guthix Sleeps? Why not add Nomad to the list? Or even better, why not just add all the bosses to the list of possible revisits?

And why in the world would anyone want to fight Elvarg? Why not just go fight a blue dragon? You get more from blue dragons, anyway.

Just voted and just have to say this...

Wow! Elvarg is owning this poll!

60% of FtPers voted for him (to be expected), but what's more, 40% of members voted for him !

Average of 43%




@xjj: Elvarg is winning mainly because of members, not only FtPers, just look at the statistics. Also, you can seperate P2P and FtP votes so Jagex might (if they want) completely ignore the FtPers.

I missed out on the first poll, but I voted for Damis. I'm curious if the winners will be involved in something like Recipe for Disaster, where you fight newer versions of the defeated foes. It also gives me a chance to see just how stronger I've become since I last fought these bosses.

For those complaining about the absence of stronger bosses, you just need to wait, since the polls great progressively higher-leveled.

i think its going to be a challenge kind of like the tzhaar fight cave, in which you need to defeat each of the bosses without banking. The reward being some untradable item such as the fire cape. In other words, don't vote for nomad as being one of the bosses unless u dont want the item
