Constructive Feedback


Castle Wars:

Bandages-Should be balanced as to not devalue super energy restores. Also should be fixed so spam healing doesn't affect pking.

Kill Streak-Would make game harder for lower levels

Free Mage runes- Would heighten amount of ancient magic users, due to death respawn being right along the path taken outside of enemy fortress, it's near impossible to get away with flag, because dead mages come back before you take 2 steps and freeze you again.

Barbarian Assault

Rewards should be more consumable
Fighter Legs- Should have lower strength than tassets, You can see by BCP being 10m and Tassets being 20m that fighter torso holds back the BCP market.

Blast Furnace

The ideas proposed are great, with good intentions, but would heighten the price of of ore dramatically, and lower the price of bars. It would be better to leave the minigame as is as even though it's hard to find partners, it is still a profitable place to train. I will be voting no to both of these questions.

Potluck Reward Shop

Rooftop agility isn't a minigame, so the Marks of Grace should not be added to the potluck shop. If you want to make the marks of grace useful check some of the ideas in e Fyre's thread.

Clue scrolls would have to be carefully balanced in order to make the rarity simlar to that of killing monster to get them. Otherwise we may not see people kill monsters for clue scrolls or worse, have clue scroll items lowered in price.

Degradable Weapon/Armour upgrades

This is pure genious, even if this is abused in a way where friends kill eachother to get upgraded weapons it still achieves the role of an item sink.

I noticed that the Temple Trekking mini game is not on the list. I would like an update to Temple Trekking, please! I want to be able to choose my own rewards and choose them without having to cash them in at the Burgh De Rott Bank or Paterdomus!

Question: Should we introduce a matchmaking system to help you find other players to play group minigames with more easily? Yes, personally finding a team is the hardest part, especially with people spread thing among the various worlds

Question: Should we introduce a minigame reward shop where you can use points and tokens from multiple minigames to purchase new items?
Yes, but only if the rewards are going to not bring a negative impact onto the economy, and maybe instead of making it rewards, make it upgrades so that it creates an item sink( But the upgrades shouldn't be over powered Ex: +1 on [] armour for x ammount of points)
Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell the bonecrusher which works in the same way as the dungeoneering reward in RS3? Yes, not enough of an issue to where people would shoot through prayer

Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell a rune pouch which will store multiple runes in but only take up one inventory space?
No, that makes the game TOO easy, which is why we all wanted 07 scape back in the first place, it would be another crutch for the less enthused player.
Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell books that teach you the Augory and Rigour prayers? Yes, it balances out the piety on melee vs. mage/range

Question: If you vote for the minigame reward shop to be included, do you want it to sell all three levels of clue scrolls? No, Clue scrolls are dropped for the reason that people get one randomly and hope for the best reward, if you implement selling them, robin's ranger's etc. just are going to eventually become too common again.

Should we allow players to obtain free runes within Castle Wars to cast magic at a reduced XP rate? Yes because it will bring more diversity into the game creating more fun for the ones who don't want to melee all game because they can't afford 1k barrages

Should we introduce the Zamorak and Saradomin flags as rewards from the Castle Wars reward shop?Sure
Should we add skirts as options to the Castle Wars armour rewards?Sure
Should we add a ranged and mage armour set to the Castle Wars reward shop?Sure
Should we allow players to buy bandages which work outside of Castle Wars in the same way as they do in Castle Wars? Why would there be a purpose for this at all lol?
If you kill five or more players without dying, would you like to be buffed which will increase the damage you deal and make you more difficult to kill? No because people who farcast with barrage and demolish people as it is, are then impossible to kill.
Should we add some siege weapons to help break down the doors of the keep?No because the fun of the game is that you have to work together to defeat the other team, not make it a one man rambo mission
Should 10% of your kills be translated into tickets at the end of each game?
Should you receive one ticket for each enemy flag that you deliver to your castle's standard stand? To both questions yes, because tickets are possibly the biggest issue with this game, For 2 tickets you need to sit in a 20 minute long game and win.
Should we allow players to use the egg launcher in Barbarian Assault while in combat?No
When the call changes in Barbarian Assault, should we change the colour of the word to white?No
Should we add fighter legs to the Barbarian Assault reward shop?Yes but only like 1 or 2 str bonus
Should we remove splitbark armour defensive requirements? No
Should we allow players to get to Trouble Brewing without completing Cabin Fever and drop them into a lobby area so they can't access the rest of the island?Sure
Should we remove the cooking requirement for Trouble Brewing?No
Should Fishing shops and Herblore shops sell packs of 100 vials, feathers or fishing bait to make it easier to buy these items in large quantities?No

Should the game applet show your current health, prayer points and run energy on icons near the minimap? A toggle option would allow players to hide these icons if they did not wish to see them. DEFINITELY NOOOOO! JUST ANOTHER CRUTCH

Don't add the ticket changes for castle wars. It's fine how it is. This would make boosting too easy. Stick to the matchmaking idea, that seems like a good way to get more participation in minigames. Also, bring clan wars to the community!

Augury and Rigour would be a VERY good incentive to get people to play minigames and no longer will people have to worry about finding a pc world etc. I also think it balances the combat triangle if rigour and augury are brought in because giving a high tier prayer boost to melee stats isn't fair to rangers + magers. I'm sure that rigour and augury will be just what OSRS needs.
