Please introduce a Castle Wars Rating system that's not based on games played but rather taking part and contributing towards your team's success. The whole "You need to be in this many games to show off your experience" has done nothing but breed a massive number of people entering cw and just sitting there throughout the whole thing. A graphics rework and allowing helms are the two smallest problems with cw today.

I'm blown away by this weeks BTS! Exploding with excitement for the Castle Wars Rework (Although the new lobby area is Meh) and hopefully I get into the Beta for the new RS3 update :)

Cheers!

Some interesting things I've picked out from the video, concerning the new HUD;

From the first screenshot (Edgeville);
- Emotes seem to be a part of the chat system now. That's a very sensible idea, since the original intention of EMOTES was to express yourself physically rather than through language.
- At least SEVEN ability bars - hopefully this isn't just a random number and has some meaning. Will the ability bar and the different HUD preferences be one and the same, or separate?
- Currently selected weapons/spell type (fire and crossbow in this case) are shown next to the ability bar.
- The lodestone interface button has been moved up to the map. An interesting idea, but I never really liked lodestones..
- The map is FAR too square. Option for a circular one pl0x?
- Some sidestones which I don't recognise at the top - the dice on the right-hand side is presumably the SoF, but there's a Yelps hat next to it. The law rune symbol is also interesting.. perhaps the code of conduct? Glad to see the quest tab is back!

Lumbridge - 'My Hero' tab.
- Please change it from 'My Hero' to either the player name, or something.. anything else. Sounds like it's made by Disney..
- Adventurer's Log accessible in-game - very nice.
- 'My Pets' - interesting.. hopefully is NOT limited to Solomon's pets. Does this mean a thorough pet overhaul is impending?
- other than the issues I've addressed, this part looks perfect.

The next screenshot (options);
- STILL no update for the music interface? Oh, come ON! I've seen so many suggestions on the forums on how to improve it, why not implement them?
- Otherwise looks fine.

On a side-note, it's getting really annoying where if you put a quotation mark in the forum post, it changes to a load of coding when you post it. Sort it out Jagex :P
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero.
Just a boy who had to sing this song.

FEEDBACK: I really don't like the new design of the interfaces. I think you should keep the old "dwarf sculptured" style (like the way it is now). Or maybe update it slightly to make it in line with the graphics of RS3.

Also, I think you shouldn't add squares to indicate inventory spaces. The idea of a nice plain empty inventory makes it actually look like it's empty, instead of being cluttered with squares.
