There are a few good updates, like the clanchat rejoining, great choice...but I dislike the new shields and the idea of lava dragons...

Shields:

They are oby shields with different colours, looks terrible if you ask me, next to that, if you plan to bring out new gear please make it "new" gear..now I know the game got it's limits as it's based on 2007 RS, but as Mod Ash said before they might bring out a new game engine in OSRS, might aswell wait till then and get "new" mage/range shields, not messed up versions of existing shields.

Lava Dragons: Why? what's the point of it....like nothing, they will be attractive for a few days cause they are new, then they will just be abandomned as always, keep the red dragons cause this idea is like replacing adamant with like liquid poison armour(randomly made that up).
I mean if you want lava dragons make up something new for the green/blue/black dragons too, either do that or leave the red dragons be.


P.S. bring out clanwars/new game engine asap please, so many people waiting for it we can't wait to rumble!

"Mid-level" shields?! Range shield is Spectral spirit shield 2.0 with +32 magic defence!! +12 ranged accuracy as well? Same goes with mage shield.. I don't usually call stuff overpowered, but these are if they're considered mid-level and not too difficult to obtain.

not having ANY melee defence is a pretty massive drawback

I definitely wouldn't say it's on par with the spectral SS

I also don't think it will devalue the zammy book, tbh. The zammy book has no defence requirements, it has a prayer bonus, it gives attack bonuses to ALL combat styles, and best of all it's an item you can never lose. When you pay 2.4m to fill your unholy book, you are buying a +8 mage/range boost for life.

There was never ever a mention of a new game engine... Ever?

There was mention however of a new artist to provide new content... 2D/3D and animation... So they have a huge responsibility and a lot of training by jagex on those tools?

The level 10 wilderness rule will not keep players from farming kill count if you add the lever from Edgeville to the wilderness keep! I once witnessed a player with over 10,000 kills on his wildstalker helmet who was just sitting there, right next to the lever with his auto-retaliate turned on, with another account repeatedly pulling the lever, attacking him, and dying. This of course, could be counteracted by--

1. A system in which a player must risk a certain amount to count as a kill.
2. A limit of 10 kills of any one individual per hour. (one fight every six minuets seems plenty fair to me)

Thanks,

I am a bit confused, what are the three new demi-bosses?


Queen Scorpion, Crazed Archaeologist, and chaos fanatic I think. That or the Bear, Skeletal and Spider (hope not).

How can you make profit at the resource area if you have to pay after each bank trip? Please explain this and also will it be faster gathering rates? It should be.

Runic Obelisk - No one will super heat ores here. You would only be able to super heat like 4 rune bars at a time? If that. Then you gotta bank. Not worth saving 800gp for a five minute trek.

Lava Dragon bones should give AT LEAST 160 prayer xp.. No one is going to go deep wild to collect an inventory of bones for a 13 xp difference...

New staff - 3 death, 2 chaos, 5 fires.. Aka a minimum of 900 gp?? How is this viable for PvM? It should be like 50gp at most per cast. This is absurd. Maybe 3 death, 2 chaos, 5 fires = 1 charge and 1 charge = 10 casts. That would be much better.

You need to take into account that deaths, chaos, and fires will rise a lot with the staff update, therefore we can assume the cost of a single cast will be at least 1337 gp.. which sounds awesome but is super expensive when your max hit is only 22! I would not use the staff if the spell cost more than 75 gp to use. I also would not want to use it for PvM. Add another question asking if we want it for PvP. I don't do PvM.

Overall, really great job on this guys. I'm very much looking forward to voting yes for all but removing the wilderness ditch. I am concerned lurers will find this too much to their advantage.
