IMO cosmetic upgrades ruin the game.

It's good to have some unique looking items. But when you introduce too many unique items, they lose their aesthetic value.

This is why in the original runescape, seeing someone in d chain, med, legs, and sq shield was way more awesome when everyone else was in full rune.

This is why a simple gold trim from Rune (g) looked so much more awesome than regular rune.

When you have too much unique stuff, it all begins to look lame.

No dragon defender re-poll of course....

All this other dumb stuff to please the pures but a granite maul update that no mains are going to use when we have DH and AGS.

Voting no to everything wildy/pk/pure related from now on.

If anything make the dragon defender degradable like the rest of this garbage



Have you never seen people double gmaul spec after a dh axe swing? what about ags to gmaul spec that can stack 110 damage? I think you are misinformed about the utility of this weapon.

Cause pures love using the good ol' magic shortbow to dds, or MSB to gmaul, or d scim to dds, or ss to dds, or d scim to ags, cause pures have a lot of weapons to use

Edit: I love watching mains with full void that switch from a 30 damage ice barrage to a 65 ags spec to a 30 gmaul spec

More bounty hunter?
Give it a rest, you're really pushing it on us.

Saradmin tear , it's more detailed than last time but I still feel that it shouldn't be in the bounty hunter shop. If you really want to release it and want to keep it in the wilderness then look into adding it into the god wars dungeon within the wilderness ( read this thread 322-323-761-65479205 ).

Hardened granite maul
is an interesting idea. Is this the mid-high level crush weapon we keep hearing about? Does it act like something you add to a granite maul or just a new weapon. I dont think it should be a new weapon because it'll undermine the granite maul, but I like the idea of it and it makes a little bit of sense in the BH stall (although a gargoyle boss would be better). So if you have to but i'd rather not.

Magic shortbow (i) is currently powerful, this is adding more power, but I dont see the need to add this, especially in a PKing shop, just seems unnecessary .

Cosmetic upgrades . No ! We already voted against them, this is undermining the previous poll. The models are nice but they just don't belong in old school.
They got near 75% because people want a graphic rework, but they didn't get past it because they didn't look right for the game. I know mod alfred worked hard on them, but the polls spoke and they didn't belong in the game.
Plus I really don't like the idea of a lot of items having cosmetic changes because we have to worry about having mutliple of one item and it would look strange to have two completely different looking items that are the same item.

teleport to target
. I dont mind, mostly the PKers decision. As long as it has the 85 magic requirement , and perhaps some sort of timer (if you teleport and die then you can't use it for 5min or something)
RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

I could NOT agree more!

The maul should give an extra +4 strength.

What about offering dragon armor upgrades to existing armor with special kits. Each piece of armor can be used by 1 kit. 1:1 Ratio.

We desperately need item sinks for dragon armor, its not so special anymore and the value could be boosted.

Dragon Med Helm (c) --- +3 Strength

Dragon Chainbody (c) --- +5 Strength

Dragon Legs/Skirt (c) --- +3 Strength

Dragon Sq (c) --- + 6 Strength


These would degrade into dust after 180 mins.

Very needed suggestions:

Stop trying to release the Saradomin's Tear as a Bounty Hunter reward. It is only an idea because you want to balance it with the Kraken Tentacle. The problem is that the Tentacle is a monster drop, and will be harder to get than buying it from a bounty shop. The Saradomin's Tear needs to be a monster drop.

Give the Magic Shortbow(i) a significantly higher alchemy value. The Magic Shortbow has always been one of my personal favorite weapons, and I was very excited to see an upgrade for it. The problem is that the upgrade is hardly worth using if you are just going to lose it as soon as you die. It needs to protect over most items. Also, make the range attack bonus a slightly better buff, around +80-85.

Please at least take these into consideration if nothing else. Thank you.
