It puzzles me why did you bother to hide the results, if the results still remain sorted, so we can still see which option is winning, just don't know by what margin.

I mean sure, I can see good reasons to hide poll results, like to avoid some manipulative item buyouts, or perhaps just plainly to make the results a surprise. But I think if you want to hide the results, it's best not to sort them, either :P

I'll say this: B and D are the best designs. However, B, with that spike located at a reasonable height behind, is more similar to the previous one, and D doesn't look like something Dragon. Those weapons are meant to look vicious in a flashy way. So.

A looks too worn, while Dragon needs to show it's a metal that cannot be dented so easily, and it's too curved to the back. Stabbing is an important thing, and with the tip bent too much to the back it's not really plausible. That's my main gripe with the old one, too - with those spikes so close to the tip it doesn't look good. Those spikes are really cheesy.

C falls out for the same reason, and because of the hilt - with a blade shaped like this I'd want to turn the sword backwards and attack with the point at the end. Or mine with it. And the hilt disables that, looking uncomfortable like hell.

D looks great, and in fact I'd choose it... oh, I said that above, but I'll repeat: It looks too plain. It's a great design for a Rune or such scimitars. If you implemented that design for scims of other metals it'd be great.

So, well... B.


Oh, and last thing, unrelated: Don't log me out when I click the link in the news post to go to this thread, as after I log in I go to the main forums page and have to look for the thread, getting me minutes of delay!

I vote you guys at Jagex make the Scimitars all wielded facing outward like in the old RuneScape instead of up. I just plain don't like it.

Back to the poll... I voted for B! But I think the blade from B with the hilt from C would be the most impressive! Good luck all on your votes coming true!!!

^_^

[Edit] Will this affect Corrupt Dragon Scims and other scims like Rune or Bronze in a similar design but not as impressive looking? [/Edit]

awsome new poll i like the new designs

also this is a little off topic but do you think you could redesign the dragon longsword or dragon 2h too?

p.s. jagex needs to see this thread on how bad people want the old dragon long back qfc: 241-242-929-61069449

As an old-time player, nothing looks better to me than the "way-original" dragon scimitar that had the webbed look, before the current one. I remember becoming a member in 2004 and wanting that weapon as my first priority.

Since option B looks the most reminiscent of the old version, that's what I voted for. D was turned down because it looks just like the other scimitars, which is the antithesis of one of my earliest membership desires. There isn't anything better about these -- especially the way they are held.

Remember that anyone who played during the "lesser" RuneScape times can be content with a much lower standard of graphics. The way-original dragon scimitar wasn't an option on the vote, but if it were reimplemented into the game, there would be much rejoice in comparison to the reaction you will get out of one of these new designs.
