I'm going to mention this in the regard to considering the duel arena a minigame. It would be nice to get a way for all the players to commit to world 22 because nobody does instead of world 1. It would make the overall quality of world 1 being a free tradei world alot better. Other minigames: Fist Of Guthix was one of my favorites and you should bring it back. :(

I have to say that it would be awesome if we could have team matching for minigames; it would make these minigames so much less dead. Also, something that would help with Barbarian Assault is if players could move down to lower waves without totally resetting. It sucks when you're stuck on wave 7 and wave 6 is packed with players.

I like the idea of fighter legs, but it would be cool if, rather than having their current approximately-rune defensive bonuses, fighter items had higher strength bonuses; the main reason to use fighter items is for higher damage rates.

My suggestion for castlewars is that the stats on the armor rewards are increased, making them useful over all of Gilenor rather than in just this minigame, which isn't all about combat. Essentially, the prices ticket-wise would be increased, but this highest tier of armor would have stats akin to, but slightly lower than, dragon armor in just before the Eoc. That would provide a huge incentive, as it takes an EXTREMELY long time to get the castlewars armors, and the fact that they aren't particularly useful outside of the minigame sucks.

YES YES YES ON THE BONE CRUSHER. I was only just musing to some In Game friends about how I would give millions for a bone crusher.

I find myself constantly wishing that I didn't have to be switching inventory screens to see prayer points, run, and health, so I also support the adding in of the health, run, world map, and prayer icons.

I fully support the other updates. See you Mods in game :D

Yours truly,
Hand of Fury

i also feel we need to cool down on items being released. the whole purpose of this poll was to make pre-existing things useful again.
-----
the whole "lets add more items" is undermining the main reason of the poll "lets make things useful again"

lets take a step back and slow down a little.

Yeah, minigames will stay dead if we don't have desirable consumable rewards

1.The Bonecrusher should be buyable with Ecto-tokens at the Ectofuntus. DON'T MAKE IT A MINIGAME REWARD.

Rigour and Augury should be quest rewards just like Piety. Simple as that.

Rune pouch should be buyable from the Mage training arena in Al-Kharid.

2. The bonecrusher should have a toggle option that let's you choose which bone to convert to Exp.


3. Splitbark armour stats should be buffed instead. Make it a Level 50 Mage gear that requires 50 magic and defense. Improve the general reward fom the shade chests and buff the prayer xp for burning the shade remains would attract lots of players. Allow Splitbark armor to be enhanced into "Necromancer Armor" and make it level 55. That would give this gear more demand too.

4. Weapon recoloring makes more sense if it was from Castle Wars. Castle wars mainly gives cosmetic rewards while Barbarian Assault gives useful items like the Fighter Torso.

Well if we're going to be polling making our hp/prayer/run appear near our minimap as an option we could toggle on and off, then is it possible we could re-poll using the mouse wheel as arrow keys, but make it an option that could be toggled on and off?

this is very interesting in my opinion but wouldn't it affect a whole amount of old Runescape players who been playing this for ages like me. I been playing over 10 years now old and new. I really wanted lootshare when godwar came out in oldschool but that didn't happen and also I want back ep in pvp world. This game is dying end of story.

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.
Honestly Matt that is a great solution for free runes. I think an even better solution would be to simply make it so that you can only cast standard spells with the free runes. I wouldn't mind people using entangle or fire wave. Entangle takes skill because you have to manually cast it. Fire wave isn't that strong either so not that big of a deal. I'll be voting no if they can cast ancients with the free runes at all.

Definitely limit the tickets to 10 kills and 1 capture. That is a great solution Matt. I'd vote yes for it.

I also like Dan 311's idea that you should get an extra ticket if you manage to hold the enemy to zero points.

I'd really like you to address the problem with people leaving the game when they see their team starting to lose. Changing the ticket system would help.

Win - 3 tickets
Tie - 2 tickets
Lose - 1 ticket
Hold enemy to 0 scores - +1 ticket
One capture - +1 ticket
Ten kills - +1 ticket

Only bad thing is you can get up to 6 tickets a game (too much imo). This would make it hard if you ever wanted to add a mini-games high scores.

I honestly don't like the idea of having tickets be so easy to get. I'd rather it be.

Win - 3 tickets
Tie - 2 tickets
Lose - 1 ticket

--------------------------------

Make the penance skirt better.
