Changed My Opinion on a lot of things after reading through newer posts! Many feedback I gave in this post if VOID


I will be voting yes to nearly everything, but I want to give constructive feedback on some things:

Out of castle wars bandages:
Should be non tradable so they won't devalue super energy potions. If this is done the price needs to be at a point where people aren't taken away from buying super energy restores. They don't heal much so I don't see people using them much for food..

Free runes at castle wars:
Edit: Due to respawn mechanics once you get the flag you'll be met with many mages freezing you, effectively stopping you from leaving the stairs. And there is hardly a point killing the mages because they respawn "10 feet away".
The only way to fix this would be giving some type of mage defence to ward off binding spells, either though flag holding bonus.. or mage resistant gear...

Degradable Upgrades:
This is pure genius really; even if this is abused by friends killing eachother, it is still effectively taking items out of the game.

Fighter legs:
Stats should be identical to rune plate legs. I wouldn't mind them having same str bonus as tassets, seeing as torso doesn't take away form the bandos chestplate market that much.

Also It would be nice to have herbicide as well, although it doesn't really seem like it would be an acceptable reword for the minigames.. But maybe at the potluck reward shop.

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.


You'd need a lot of friends in order to get the game started quickly...

What about some bolts exclusively for castle wars?

Taking them out isn't really a problem, it's more like when you got the flag and 10+ mages on your back you can't really take them out. Any mage knowing how to play cw is already decent defence, add more to that and you got some defence impossible to break alone and no you don't always have a smart team.
Bolts could help for killing but the only point of killing mage defence is for scorers to get out, but the mages respawn 10 squares away so i don't see the point of killing.
More skilled barragers would help way more than bolts against barragers imo but then it looks like mage wars and not castle wars to me then.

So it's either pay to win or mage wars.... Why not both!!!! (meme)

Yes but you have to wait 30 minutes. Where as if the revitalizes cw then non haxors will be having back to back games.

Uh waitwhat.. I lost you there sorry o_O
Well hmm if you consider pay to win investing in mage lvls and gear it regulates the number of mages in game, it may not be the fairest way but it works.

About the issue with people earning tickets with friends as people don't need cw tickets for trimmed comp cape I don't think many will do it. But it's still a flaw in the system, if some good item needs cw tickets among others minigames rewards it's a faster way to get them. Therefore less people would be playing normal cw games and more playing with friends..
