Reword this please...
Is it for the GS or the staff?

ALSO! CASTLE WARS IS DEAD! When are you guys going to take some of my ideas to help revive it? I'm not even the only one asking for this.
Done. That question is about the godswords. SotD could have a similar question polled about its Defensive mode in future, but I haven't seen much discussion about that, whereas the godswords have been a hotter topic.

There are gazillions of player suggestions that we get asked to put in each poll; I'm sorry your CW requests haven't made it into this one.

Those player submitted ideas are... sort of lacking.

I'm pretty upset I didn't get a chance to finish my content design before the submission deadline, I'll just have to post it in a big thread ~ohwell~

I really like that agility one, it has no real effect on any of the last few updates it's mutual I would think is easy to say.

I'm really happy to see some of the fixes/tweaks in this content poll thanks Mat/Ash! You guys really do know how to reach out for the OSRS community I like it, very appreciated.

1. Storm Atronach:

Reasons for no:
* If a dragon pick is entered into the game, it should be with the forgiveness of a chaos dwarf quest and include the hand cannon.
* The ranging necklace wouldn't make sense to be dropped by a rock creature
* I don't like the idea of herbs only being obtainable by PvM. Maybe if seeds were dropped instead of herbs then I'd be okay with it. (I still would prefer phoenix feathers)
* Noted skilling supplies: Definitely no to more sources of rune. That would further devalue the Wilderness.
* Runes in "nice" quantities - Perhaps a better reward would be the ability to craft soul runes via the Abyss. I don't like the idea of more "free" resources. This devalues Runecrafting.

Suggestions and things I like:
* Miscellaneous drops of rune items, particularly rune knives/darts/etc.
* Change to addy knives/darts(p). PLEASE do not add more monsters that drop rune plates and stuff. Rune items are NOT meant to be common.
* Change the pickaxe drop to an ore pouch (Stores 28 ores. Tradeable. Rare drop) and a cavern with concentrated coal and gold.
* I also think a better way to introduce it would be via the dwarves.
* Make the monster work similar to random event monsters! It grows in strength with your combat level. Yay! Now everyone can fight it!

Rat Hunt:

Reasons for no:
* Honestly it sounds like a pain to have to run blindly around the world hunting for rats. I don't think many players would actually enjoy this.
* Rewards are not worth my time
* It sounds like penguin hunting.. Only with rats.

Suggestions:
* Make the ability to do Rat Hunts the reward for the quest “The Cat Mystery”. Also consider finding some more generous rewards.
*** Rewards:
* Make the enchanted cat training medal give you a chance to catch double the fish when fishing.
* Make it so you can get a permanent wily cat.
* Make the requirements to do this not so hard.
* Make it so you can upgrade your wily cat so that it can sniff out where the giant mole is hiding! (YAY!)

Soul Snatcher:
* Reasons for no:
* Make it so you don't gain xp in the mini-game
* There are no rewards listed???
* Make sure the items cannot be smuggled. Do the same thing you did for the NMZ items.
* Sounds like a cross of Stealing Creation and Soul Wars.

Suggestions and things I like:
* Add rewards
* Make it so there is one waiting room and teams are chosen at random. Problems could quickly emerge if all the good players always joined the same team. Then the nooby players would never have a chance and would hate the mini-game for this reason.
* Make everyone have level 99 combat skills for this mini-game to make it fair.
* Bronze and basic stuff should be free. It sounds kinda silly to have to go punch monsters.
* Souls should be divided evenly to each player according to how much damage they did to the monster.
*** Possible Rewards:
* A magic longbow sight that makes the special attack guarantee your max hit at 65% cost of special attack bar.
* An upgrade to the abyssal whip special attack (works like a whip vine but only upgrades the special. Tradeable.) The upgrade would change the whip special so that it doubled your accuracy at the cost of 50% of your special attack bar. Also increased the leech of opponents run energy from 10% to 25%.
* An upgrade to the rune throwing axe special: Doubles the damage for each new target it hits (like how it bounces target to target) for up to 300% more damage. Would be done similar to how darts can be poisoned. You could make a potion that you can imbue the rune throwing axes with.
* An upgrade to increase the speed of javelins (c'mon let's make these things useful)

But yeah. Let's get some good rewards for this mini-game and try to bring back to life some of those neglected weapons!

The Cat Mystery:

Reasons for no:
* I hate quests. Most of my friends do too.
* No rewards listed.

Suggestions and things I like:
* Sounds like a cool storyline. If I enjoyed quests, this would probably be a fun one.
*** Possible Rewards:
* Rikiniam's Gloves: When worn, changes the special attacks of some items. (See ideas above) They could be obtained via method #2 - Rat Hunt as a rare reward (tradeable)


C'mon you guys know you like that idea. It's combining the two cat ideas into one!

Roof-Leaping: Agility Reborn!

Reasons for no:
* Sounds useless.
* No rewards mentioned.

Suggestions and things I like:
* Perhaps make a special course that can be done in cities.
*** Rewards:
* Make agile gear a reward from the NPC of the course.
* You could add more agility shortcuts throughout the game.

Honestly, it sounds like a really fun idea and makes me feel like a ninja turtle. It just needs some sort of reward.

-----------------------

@ The people who published these ideas:

@ Designer of Storm Atronach: Cool idea man. Change up the rewards a little bit and this would be really fun. Look at my suggestions.

@ Designer of Rat Hunt && The Cat Mystery: If these two ideas were combined, they would be a lot more appealing. I posted suggestions to both.

@ Designer of Soul Snatcher: Fun idea man. Mini-games are my favorite thing to do in RS so I definitely support! I posted some ideas for rewards as well.

@ Designer of Roof Leaping: Sounds really fun but could use some better rewards. I posted some suggestions.

Yeah I know. But thanks for all you guys do!

Also, there is a bug you should know about. It's a pretty serious problem. I can show you if you bring your geepee to the mage bank and make yourself level 80, 1 hp, and attackable.

Hehe.

Soul Snatcher seems like a dumb update. Unless the rewards only last for x amount of time having whips/dark bows/infinity sets come into the game through where it sounds like it'd be easy as hell to get would just ruin the point of having slayer.


Honestly why not make a minigame where we can get choatics we've already get godwars just make them fully degrade to dust.
