@Mod Mat K
This is most likely not the right place to ask for it, but can u pls fix the glitch where it kicks you out of Castle Wars when u hop to a rs3 world and then back to osrs?

Unless you are abusing the mechanics to make shorter CW games, i don't see a reason why you are doing this.

Hey guys, some of the feedback suggests we need think a bit more about some ideas. Firstly, free runes in Castle Wars - many of you are worried about lots of barragers freezing every one all the time. How about if we only supply the elemental runes and mind, chaos and death runes. That way mages can cast up to Fire Blast for free but will have to supply their own blood runes for more powerful spells.

Also, the extra tickets for killing more players or capturing the flag in Castle Wars has raised some concerns about farming the game. We could limit the extra tickets to one extra if you kill 10 or more players and one extra if you capture one or more flags.

Some of you have also mentioned the stats of the penance legs we suggested. We don't want to devalue any existing items, especially not the tassets, and many of you have suggested it should have the same stats as rune legs but with a +1 strength bonus, we'll happily make those the stats if it is what you want.

Thanks for reading and considering our feedback. I think if you're going to raise the castle war ticket rewards getting ONE extra ticket for killing 10 people or scoring the flag is fairer than being able to get more than that, though I still think the maximum should be 2 tickets to not devalue the huge achievement of getting the higher tier castle wars armor.

I think making the game itself more fun to play (like supplying runes) would be a better route than giving more tickets. Also, maybe you could introduce different colored tickets or points, separate from the ones given for the cosmetic armor, and allow people to buy ingame bonuses with those while keeping the regular classic tickets at 2 a game and only usable towards the original castle wars armor.

Also, when it comes to penace legs I think even making them equivalent to Rune Legs would be a problem. People would then PK in full untradeables basically - Helm, torso, and legs, and fire cape, while only risking their amulet and maybe a dds. To prevent this I think they should be more like adamant legs and +1 str bonus, not rune. That way you'll technically have better str bonus than rune legs but it won't have the same defensive bonuses - It's a fair trade off and doesn't necessarily replace rune legs as they would otherwise.

The after 5 kills buff in castle wars should be a no-no. If there are a bunch of high levels camping respawning area, how would it be possible to kill them if they get buffed from killing more and more people. If anything readd special attack regeneration after death in order to kill people camping in the areas. Also allow barrage to unfreeze people after they die. It is annoying to be waiting in the respawn room unable to do anything to help your team when a mage is camping there!

Just make it the skirt don't even add in new legs. This will be an incentive to get an item that already exists and it doesn't have that good of melee stats so it would only be good for power-training or max str pking for fun!

I agree, but if penace legs are going to be polled I think it would make much more sense to make them adamant legs +1 str bonus rather than rune. As I said if you make them rune equivalent + str bonus they'll do nothing but replace rune legs and allow people to PK in full untradeable items which would be terrible for pking in my opinion. It just creates an unnecessary negative situation which would be hard to fix without nerfing all untradeables or making them disappear on death which I wouldn't support.

Also, I really think the teleport system in the minigame matchmaking needs to be looked at and clarified before it's polled. There really should be some sort of convenience fee (5-10k) for using the system or it will be abused for free teleports, even if there is a cooldown period. All teleports in the game are unlocked through fairly difficult quests or require some sort of enchanted jewelry - Adding 11 no requirement teleports wouldn't be in the spirit of old school in my opinion.

I don't find the graphics for the penance skirt all that appealing, never liked it personally.

For people who appreciate barb assault for what it is/was they really like the runner helm/torso/skirt outfit which is odd but I actually acquired all of these and I've grown to like it. I think we have been introduced to a lot of new item content so we should only be really concerned about revamping current content/items rather than adding all of this new stuff.

Like a revamp of the splitbark armor for example...

COMPLETELY

against those fighter legs.

although they would be cosmetically appealing, i dont like the idea of free items being GOOD items.

torso drastically affects the price of bandos chestplate, dispite if it gives better defence. to most people, a little bit of defence isint worth 10-12m.

i feel this will be the same case for tassets. fighter legs will eliminate some people to have the need for tassets. it would be merely "optional" to dump money on something only slightly better, just as the bcp stands.

understanding +1 str is .5 of a max hit, than the fighter legs would only offer .5 max hit LESS than torso legs. which, comparably, isint that big of a difference.

will be voting "no" for those, but yes for the rest.
