Thanks for thinking about a matchmaking system that's great.
I'm more concerned about castle wars so here are my thoughts:
- Thanks for the new rewards however it doesn't affect me
- "Should we allow players to obtain free runes within Castle Wars to cast magic at a reduced XP rate?" I'm a bit worried about how many people are going to use magic, it could result as a bunch of barragers on defence therefore no chance for scorers and no fun. So no support it's too risky for gameplay imho without a short limit on free runes.
- "Should we add some siege weapons to help break down the doors of the keep?" Hmm that's interesting but not really needed, it depends on how fast it can destroy a door and how many players are required to use it. Anything too overpowered could cause a lack of strategy.
- "Should we add a ranged and mage armour set to the Castle Wars reward shop?" Same worry about it being overpowered, as CW armour is adamant the other armours shouldn't have great defence bonus either.
- "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?" And here again nothing overpowered, it shouldn't make a big difference else the game tends to get too unbalanced but it could be challenging for sure. But in the long run I'm unsure.

I think there should be two types of castle wars tickets like in RS3, Silver and Gold. Silver tickets are awarded to everyone where you can buy low tier rewards, and gold tickets (for the winners) where you can buy higher tier rewards

on the topic of mini games mat is there any chance of a change/ removal of the "not so ultimate" force in nmz.

regards, ash.

Ultimate Force is good when your in your own dream with every boss that you have unlocked, especially when you have 4x Dagg Mothers or 4x Slagilith/that other annoying boss that you have to use Magic Secateurs on. When this happens and you have ultimate force it is a life saver :)

"Should we allow players to buy bandages which work outside of Castle Wars in the same way as they do in Castle Wars?"

How much do these heal? Can't you click on the bandages really fast and heal quickly - faster than regular sharks? I don't want this. 10+ year RS veteran; Oldschool RS player.

If you can give players some sort of counter to barrage spam, I wouldn't mind free runes.


Group Vengeance from livid farm was a pretty hard barrage counter, have it as a castlewars reward that lets you only use it in the minigame. I think a lot more rewards that make the minigame a bit different from standard PvP/PvM is the way to go. For example, nightmare zone has overloads which isn't available in standard PvM.

Of course, none of these are actually worth anything if there isn't some sort of extra reward added to every minigame that makes it more desirable, preferably something consumable so people come back.


Fight pits needs a rework, it should reward a special type of TokKul to be used in a reward shop, but only be available on two worlds to prevent abuse. On top of that it needs mechanics reworked. It's a good base for a game but having to spend a ton of money on good food/potions/runes really turns off people from playing, that goes for any minigame.

Catalytic/Elemental runes made available somehow that only work in minigames would take some of the rune inventory stress off Magic.

Toss in tome of frost/flame/gust/ground into that super reward shop and I'd be ecstatic. Probably one of the more balanced rewards that trashycombatscape ever released.


Oh ya and RECOLOR ROBIN/RANGER BOOTS PLEASE!



On client upgrades you should also poll the following:

Special Attack orb
XP Drops
Vengeance Timer


Just so that if they fail we can tell orion to get rid of them too. Sick of them circumventing the polling system by releasing whatever the hell they want without the community's approval.

No you can't (not on RS3 at least, same with OSRS I think), maybe your thinking about Soul Wars because you can in that.

IF 10% OF YOUR KILLS ARE TRANSLATED INTO TICKETS, YOU COULD BRING A 3-LVL FRIEND TO FARM TICKETS IN A QUIET WORLD. SAME GOES FOR SCORING POINTS.


Okay, let's assume you are playing with a friend in a quiet world. You could just let each other score as much as you can. If both players score 15 flags (a tie), that's 16 tickets per game. Previously you averaged 1 ticket a game. Please make sure people know they are voting for this if you really poll this.

YES to the following::
-Free runes(castlewars)

Please think of the consequences of your vote, not just the bright side of it, we can't play castle wars if its stacked with barragers..
