I'd rather not have the Corporeal Beast and Spirit Shields be added to Old School at all. If they have to add the Corporeal Beast though I'd like to see it done through the quest Summer's End. I'm not saying they should add Summoning, but considering the fact that they're thinking about adding the Corporeal Beast at all. They might as well just make Summoning the new skill as well because we all know the Artisan skill isn't going anywhere in Old School. I don't want the Corporeal Beast or Summoning, but if I have to have one then I want them both in Old School along with both quests and all the original Spirit Shields.

Will rangers be able to hit as much as the meelers at Corp?
That is my only concern. Rangers should be able to hit fast as and high as meelers with zammy spear.

I am 97 range and I want to Corp! Please Equal the combat triangle at Corp, so Rangers have a fair chance as meelers!

Good idea - Corp beast should definitely be brought to OSRS.


Here are my opinions on the conditions under which it should be brought back.

1)
The boss's stats should not be changed.
Corp was as fun as it was because it was actually a very dangerous boss. But if anything just reduce its magic attack damage. Ganodermic armour made corp very fun and reasonably difficult. Since we don't have that armour, reducing corp's magic attack may be a good alternative.

2)
The drops (i.e. spirit shields) should remain the same in terms of stats.
The spirit shields were not overpowered in and of themselves. As other players have pointed out, there were other factors at play in Runescape at the time which increased players' damage output, perhaps contributing to the current "generalized" memory of spirit shields. The immense power of spirit shields was also what made this difficult boss worthwhile.

3)
Drop rates should remain the same.
The rarity of spirit shields was another aspect that made the boss worthwhile. Onyx bolt drops every now and then were a nice treat to keep you motivated.

4)
There should be no absolute requirements for access to the boss.
Why quest points if there's no quest needed for it? Why cb level req if you essentially have to be pretty high combat to efficiently kill corp anyways. Also, a CB lvl req takes corp away from range tanks that want to join a mass. Let's not forget how popular the corp masses were like WeLoveCorp for example.

That's all. Altogether i'm positive that corp will be released in one form or another. I know most want corp back. All of my friends certainly do. For this i'm excited, regardless of how it's released. Thank's for reading.

excited to see where this goes. I would love to see overloads back to round off the corporeal beast experience haha. As far as bringing him in, either just put him there or have a combat requirement of 110+ or something, though a new quest would be really cool. Drops are definitely the biggest issue, although for me it isn't about not getting new stuff, but that i like all of the ideas for new drops. Spirit shields are very cool and I would like to see them return although maybe a little less powerful. Perhaps only 3 shields instead of the original 4, 1 for each combat style. I also REALLY love the idea of a new crush weapon that is highly balanced and comparable to the best in slot stab and slash weapons. Basically a crush weapon that is as good as the whip and zammy hasta, especially now that there is an imbue-able ring that adds crush. It would be nice to be able to put together a powerful set up for crush style attacks for specific enemies. So many things that could go right with this update. Fingers crossed that players vote to implement this "new" boss! Sometimes you get it right, Jagex haha

Someone further back in the forums had a considerable idea. The boss could drop some type of "upgrade kit" for the malediction, odium, and obsidian shields to make them look like spirit shields and give a boost in stats, just not quite as overpowered as the original spirit shields.

Ok, I have to say that I'm rather disgruntled Jagex. It seems like the whole PVP/BH issue is just being dropped and instead you are focusing your time on a new boss, bonds, and other updates that shouldn't be a priority. I think these are cool updates and I'm all in favor of new bosses, but I think PVP and trade should be addressed first.

I realize that they are both difficult issues, but that doesn't mean you should just leave them alone. They are challenging issues, because they are important to many people, and thus that is indicative of their importance. The most important things I have gathered that essentially everyone wants, are a large vibrant PVP community, and the ability to actually make money pking instead of breaking even or losing money.

I don't care how you go about achieving these two goals, but I think the ability to actually make some good money pking should be a thing. Currently I just feel like I'm wasting my time and money pking and thus I have almost completely stopped, even though it is lots of fun. I just don't have that kind of bank to spend several mil for a couple hours of pking. I should instead, if I'm a good enough pker, be making several mil without having to do high risk fights. This should be achieved through random drops that one gets after killing another player. I was thinking that you should make PVP a little like PVM in that you(the player) has to take down a difficult boss/player. If they manage they get a random drop worth little to a lot as well as the armor or w/e the player was risking.

Their are plenty of options for rewards! For example, skilling supplies, armor like rune, new armors like vesta, unique pking weapons, food or potion drops, the list goes on. For example, killing someone risking 5k the best you might get is a very rare drop of maybe 50 or 100 sharks. Killing someone worth 300k you might have an ok chance of getting 500 sharks(noted), or maybe 50-100 ppots noted.

hey jagex heres a suggestion, instead of making the vote to pass 75%, you should lower it a little bit to like 60-65%. Theres a huge bunch of idiots and trolls who just click no to every poll. There should be no reason to not implement new stuff in to the game. If you don't like it (e.g the bounty hunter) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE IT. Its literally common sense. We need new stuff for OSR because it will become stale like you said. So i hope you Do add the divine and arcane with Full effects ext, and a bunch of new items because people don't just run around the wildy with these items. Only a select few can even afford them so to not put these items in this game is stupid. Lower the majority, and add over powered stuff. Thanks Jagex on behalf of the people who are ****** that bounty hunter didn't come through

In regards to corp, I do not think you should be allowed to use spirit shields in pvp at least not in PVP worlds! I do not want PVP to start looking like pre-eoc with spirit shields, torva, SOA, etc... I realize the shields will be expensive, but there's always people who have the money and the audacity to use the shields and everything else at their ability to wreck havoc against regular pkers. TBH I don't want the shields to be implemented at all. Instead I think Corp should drop items that are already in the game, or pking armor like statius.

Also@ModRonan, I saw your post you made regarding untradeables turning into cash upon death. While this is an ok idea, I really don't think you have a grasp of how expensive pking is right now. 75k is nothing, and if people wanted to risk an extra 75k they would.... Instead I think you should be looking at random drops that players don't actually have to risk... You can make money bossing with a couple hundred k of gear, why shouldn't PVPers be able to do that? Look at my above post! Regarding this issue.

Also I think you need to implement some way that you can boss with people with out risk of being scammed. For example, CS or some other option. I really don't want to see another boss that requires several people to do effectively, because wayy to many people are scammers! The community is very poor and I hope you realize that. You can't trust people not to scam especially when that amount of money is involved. This brings me back to why you need to fix the trading issue instead of working on a new boss/drops!!! Plz don't leave stuff incomplete that the game really needs.

Finally, I really would prefer a new PVP weapon, like DClaws, or something implemented into the game instead of OP shields.

I'd really appreciate feedback from a mod regarding this and my previous post I made (up the page a little).
Thanks.
