Clouds,

'A new high level solo boss' came second on the priority poll that finished on September 4th. This came second to the continent.

This is what the community feels is a priority and 5-6 months after the poll finished it shall become a reality.

That priority poll finished almost 3 months ago and they haven't done any of the things that came up in that poll; I think this is an update that is 'better late than never'.

Achievement diaries are also coming out in Early 2015 as well, so that's something else to look forward to.

EDIT: Corp has already settled in and actually, the hype was overkill, really not many people at all still actively kill it due to profits in the short and long term not being very good compared to other methods, only in the very very long term will Corp's loot be worthwhile.

I personally have no interest in corp and have been waiting for a solo only boss for I would say going on 18 months now and finally it is becoming a reality and I cannot wait!

no sir,

solo boss was 3rd in priority poll #3 with 10%, new slayer boss was 2nd with 12%, and new continent was 1st with 30%..... so it's an odd thing that they're even realizing the new solo boss before the continent.... what "priority" did we vote for? lmao

Like i've said and will say again. I love the OSRS Dev team, but this is just an odd decision and where is it coming from?
Everybody 'round me saying I should relax 'cuz I've been going hard 'till my eyes roll back but,
all I wanna do is forget about my past and smoke a'lil ranarr, really nothing too drastic..

I didn't mention a task, yet everyone knows YOU NEED 72 SLAY FOR WYVERNS lol mate, sorry to point out the obvious but you needed it.

DKS is terrible crap and you can risk and die with your whole bank, giving you 10 mins to get back would only be probable for players with lunar magics and such a door [....] it has GOOOD LOOTS guaranteed, games neck/duel ring to bank and reset stats? how is it not good money bro come on you lost, get over it


You're confusing me. [....*
Edit : You can pray against the kings, then all you get hit by is spinolyps that max like 9-10... Gj if you die there tbh.

have you not noticed the Disconnection issues recently? like really, are you joking? so many people have lost bank there. (praying and taking no dmg form the actual boss, isn't fun unless they have minions - spyno* hit like 10 max thats not difficult ~~ protection prayers are too OP ~~ multi combat styled bosses are what we need but not this snake one lol)

Like i said before.... it's not a gp thing... bossing isn't always about drops... its fun to have something challenging to fight... even if its not rewarding. like Jad is very fun because many people find it challenging, but if u get duplicate fire capes who cares, nothing really gained. its just fun.

I wasn't talking about gp gains either, going to fight a boss because its fun and still making around 600k per hour is decent if you're having fun! ~~ you can go to any gwd and make more money yeah but the only fun boss is armadyl.... lol (+spider

my point, which you have been missing the entire time, is to make a boss that is slightly profitable and ENJOYABLE this game has too much "grindscape" to it. OSRS Dev team is awesome and they can help fix that! (but i think this snake will get voted down) tip: let us poll a type of boss creature, not just make 1

Fully in support. I only hope John is able to balance the drop table to make it worth camping the boss (to have its release similar to Glacors (by god their release was good)), and not fall down the hole that corp did where it just isn't worth going there.

All in all I really like this update, although the blowdart could use a buff to the speed of normal darts.

-Jad's not enjoyable, it's 45 minutes of killing low levels so you can spend 30 seconds killing an easy boss.
-DCs have stopped due to the gravestones, unless you hadn't noticed - if you dc now it's most likely your internet.
-Camping venenatis isn't enjoyable - it's a grind. I'd go there if the ring was still 7m, but it isn't.
-Pretty much you think that we shouldn't get a snake boss, but what's the difference if it's a snake, a monkey, a mouse or a fire-breathing elephant...

Jagex...
Why do you add only bosses and improve PVP content?
When will be skilling improved, new skill or something? Anything?
Re-poll Artisan please!
They will release PvP / skilling content when it passes a poll.
PKers have had BH too (whole world / entire wildy dedicated to it), the solo boss passed a priority poll so it's being made.
Also artisan was polled and failed more times than I can remember...

In regards to the Solo Snake Boss:

I don't mind the concept of it except for a few things....

Venomous Blowdart:

*thumbs up*
I'm interested in the blow dart's giving darts more use in the game. I favor that idea.

Venomous Spike:
Absolutely 100% not in favor, The development team has used graphical change and rename to incorporate a dragon defender. I am not in favor of manipulation through the manipulation of psyche, I guess i'm just informing the careless to take a second gander on what the spike truly is.

*two thumbs down*

B-But Why NAW**?
The old school community in majority asked not for the introduction of a "dragon defender" What the hell do you think the spike is?? Oh and it can inflict venom to an opponent? Instead of not Incorporating a dragon defender to the game... you've buffed it and renamed it. Congratulations to those that weren't in favor of a Dragon defender but are in favor of the Venomous Spike you're aiding the destructive route to this manipulated concept.

*+1 thumbs down*

Venom:
I do Think this is a cool new "hit splash" or concept; however still unneeded.

*neutral thumbs/in between*

Venomous Fang:
My thoughts on this are give it something or have it stand strongly on its own without the aid of a primary item. We need to see more Newer items enter the game not something that add's a bonus or graphical rework to an already existing item. That truly was never the principle for Runescape items. Yet there's been several upon SEVERAL updates that solemnly entertain just that.

In regards to Venomous Fang the way it's being introduced: *double thumbs down*

A bit of advice Focus on Newer expansion not inner expansion of items or remodeling if you will..
