To add to my post since I ran out of text space.

Please offer some sort of 70-75 strength one-hand weapon. Would be interesting to see a crush weapon implemented with the addition of the new crush based ring. It is very boring to only have option of using a dragon scimitar as a viable one-hand strength training weapon.

I would like the original shields and effects. It will give the shields value and keep corp a desirable boss to go to. Anything less and I imagine that the hype will die off relatively quickly.

Not keen on having corp in the wild though, unless there was a way to teleport directly to it.

Also don't like that you plan on making hastas only 50% effective, when hastas have always worked on corp. When you consider we don't have turmoil/ovls/ss, the +20 accuracy from a defender really isn't that much.

I'm sick of the wilderness. put the corp in the back corner of the bottom floor of Iban's area in the underground pass behind a gate.. That location has a mysterious and woeful feel about it, and there are no bosses on that side of the map. the walk through that huge open area to the boss would make it so much more intense.

And putting new archer boots needs to happen. something with 70(75?) ranged requirement, ranger boots have +8 ranged, and snakeskin(the second best) only have a +3. I'd say give them a +6/7 ranged bonus and then put them on par with dragon boots defensively (make them require 60 or 65 defense(

Seriously a Greater Runic Staff here would make sense. Corp has a crazy high magic defence (GRS had highest), it attacks with a magic based attack and moreover this staff is brilliantly balanced and great for pvp/pvm.

However I'd like to see it from the minigame reward shop, I do feel as though it'd suit corp more than any other boss.

This should have a 100 combat requirement certainly no higher. Having it in the wilderness worked perfectly before but not sure about now with balancing & Vet'ion.

I think a high leveled crush weapon (2h PLEASE) would be a nice drop here. Level 75 - would need more dps than a godsword to negate the special attacks. I'd say not to give it a draining effect to keep bgs in demand.

There is also room for a melee and ranged class specific amulet, keeping fury as the hybrid amulet/prayer amulet of choice.

I will be adding my feedback on the drop tables within a moment. As for the requirements to reach the boss, this is silly. Don't force quest points upon people who do not enjoy questing. A combat level is obvious as long as you have the stats to take it on with.

Will highly recommend others read my feedback when it's posted.

First off, are people unaware of how hard corp is to kill WITHOUT summoning, overloads****, and all the other stuff most people had pre eoc? Its practically impossible to solo, and ridiculously hard to duo as evidenced by the jmods stream.

The only two shields people seem to be complaining about are the elysian, and the divine due to their damage reduction abilities but honestly, people act as if everyone is going to own one. People need to realize how hard these shields are to obtain, and leave them untouched, or atleast the arcane and spectral brought back with maybe a minor tweak on the other two maybe halve their reduction abilities in pvp? But to completely dismiss the spirit shields as a whole is lunacy.

Here is my idea for Corp and how to make FM usable.

It would work like at DKs with requirement; To open the big door to Corp,you have to lit two torchs in the same time(with like 2-3 second difference),so you can't do it alone,you need a friend. And to do this,both of you need 80+ FM.

Or,if you want to make corp to need more people(like 10+),there could be 4 torchs in the hall.

I feel a little frustrated again that this blog assumes I know what everything is; despite playing Runescape since 2004/5, I have never engaged in PVP and rarely PVM. Neither have I killed any boss monsters.

Never have I killed the corporeal beast or know what it was like at initial release opposed to other Runescape now, and I have no idea what the drops your offering actually are or their impact on game. I am having to search google 'spirit shield' and 'corporeal beast' and I feel I shouldn't have to do this.

Perhaps this is a problem with brining updates that were released into other Runescape in the past; you just assume everyone knows what is going on. Or this poll/blog is not aimed at me; due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I should not vote in the future poll, instead allowing those more qualified to make the decision whether this monster should be included into the game.

I'm not sure if I am the minority, but I feel it is important to let you know just how of an 'outsider' I feel about some of these 'past' updates, though I don't want you to have to dull down the blog if the majority of players understand it all.

Itchy; The staff only wishes to provide the community with the best. That is what this thread if for, our feedback. Not to make anyone feel left out. The Corporeal Beast was a massive update in 2008 and was praised as the strongest boss in game. I hope you can get excited as the majority of PvM'ers are.

ok,i really want spirit shields the way they used to be but it probably wont happen so heres a suggestion.

spirit shields could have an operate option to turn on the shields effect and last a certain time limit followed by a cooldown time before reactivating.also prevent them from dangerous pvp activities.

another suggestion i had was if we could add strength and attack xp only options to the zamorakian spear that way more players can enjoy corp without worrying about ruining their account.
