Castle Wars: I think bringing back Halos for a reward would be nice, and also skirts sound wonderful.

But the mage/range armor reward doesn't sound like a great idea figuring you only need 30 defence to wear the best decorative armor.
Also, I think they should keep the ticket reward how it has been for the past 9 years. I am a non combat castle war player (I only defend with barricades and capture flags)
and this wouldn't be fair for players like myself.
Also I think giving free runes out is just insane, castle wars is hard enough these days having everyone run around and use ice barrage, giving free runes will just ruin the castle war community.


Come to World 334 to play castle wars.

Hope to see you all there!

Mainly I agree, but the range/mage armour do no harm.
The best decorative armour now equals addy armour.
So basically, the best mage armour would equal infinity and the best range armour would equal snake skin.
(in no way would this affect infinity price, considering the amount of time it takes to get the required amount of tickets)
Also atm the armours don't offer any other bonus than just their basic little defence bonus.

Free runes is no go for me either, as is the new way of handing out tickets. It's just wrong.

I understand the concern about free runes, but CW needs mages for proper gameplay - the scores would be 10-11 without them. Right now it's extremely hard find an Ice barrager willing to spend 300k in runes per game. I think it's better to have games with many mages, rather than a game with none at all.

Also remember that this isn't pre-EoC. In pre-EoC mages could hit 580's and survive a long time with Soul Split and Arcane Spirit Shield. We don't have that in OSRS - mages are much weaker here. Free runes are perfectly fine.

PvP worlds need something added to it, You can't pk without making a loss 90% of your fights unless you smite someone. The cost of supplies is too high compare the the loot, which can take several fights to kill.

Another problem I am having, is players dropping items in combat as I am about to kill them. I can not tell you how much this has affected my bank, wasting 80k on barrage runes, 20k on p pots 40k on d bolts, for a kill when at the last second, they drop all and return and loot it.

Players like PvP, and GP+item collecting, why not combine the two? Add brawlers, degradables(not keen on this, but something has to be added), Statues(With a value other than gp. Item rewards?) Nothing that adds GP into the game, once you do that, the economy will die faster.

It just needs another initiative to go pvp worlds, maybe 10% bonus experience. Nothing was funner than running around Runescape with a couple of mates, looking for people training.

I don't agree with the whole free runes thing, maybe a point system during CW can be added to use on a team equipment rack which uses a CW versions of weapons/armours/ammo etc outside of RS which means they can only be earned thru kills/flag captures/and a certain amount based of an assisted killed(depending on how much damage you took) but if people don't like this idea then I'm cool with it not happening. The 10% thing will be abused like others said so make it a bonus for getting a certain amount of kills without dying along with the temporary power up boost or have a CW point system that is calculated based on flag captures/times picking up the flags (included your own when dropped)/kills and such to determine the top players of the game (which can be displayed after each match (like Stealing creation). Reward 1st-5th place or however with the percentage bonus with 1st of course getting more, 2nd less and 3rd even less etc.

With the blast furnace
, adding a bank would be great but if the match making doesn't work then you still have to run things yourself which may not be bad but i think there should be NPC's who work it as well. Maybe you can pay the dwarves to help for 10 minutes or w/e.
NOOOO
to adding spades at barrows unless you do it like pre eoc and just have them pre-dug in the mounds, even then I think it should stay as is.....forgetting the spade is just a tradition to this game but yes to everything else non-minigame.
Zammy spear
being one handed might be pretty good but i'm wondering how the smash would work with it? Just seems a spear is more 2 handed for that but then again, medieval era did have people using shields with spears....i think. I do truly miss stealing creation and would love to see it back with reduced exp rates but i'm not so sure why some didn't like it? to be continued

to me it was the same as the penance horn, you would get more exp in the time of doing the skill than you would get using the tool including the time to get the tool. For me it was fun collecting the tools which made me have a bit of fun with the skills.

Reply to an above message: Free runes will hurt and having more mages will make the game harder for those who are single combat and let mages just wreck house. Yes there are people who know how to defend against barrage but it's still pretty powerful. I think a balance to helping that would be to add rewards to PVP, that way people can make some money without problems of people dropping items. Bring back brawlers/statues and pvp armour since most 94 magers are pkers and mages would have more money to use in CW.

I like the reward shop idea but no to giving level 3 clues, maybe just 1 and 2. I think we can fix the dropping items issue with bring graves in (if possible) and also having the option to decide on what 4, 3 or 1 item to keep upon death....and also
PLEASE UPDATE THE ALCHEMY VALUES OF EVERYTHING
, Not just armadyl armour....also don't let people drop items over a certain value. I don't pk much but i know it must be a pain to constantly see people dropping godswords and such. Pking is suppose to be about risk and if killed, someone should be rewarded with what you had unless you item protected it. Maybe if void and none tradable items being converted into coins upon death would force them to drop these items instead?

No support for any.

I dont believe this should be the focus of Oldschool, colored whips are bringing a Rs3 feel to OS, and who plays OS for minigames anyways?

I do.
Coloured whips came out in 2010. That's way before EoC, RS3 and P2W.
So I disagree.

Just make minigame worlds so it would be easier to find players..

There are Minigames worlds already. But it's not enough. I've seen ONE person in Games Room and he was alching there. "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."

I'm pretty pumped about decreasing the requirements of splitbark armor.
Definately is going to bring a lot of focus to a part of the game that has not had much relevance in a while. 1 defence pure here, and i'll most certainly be there!

Oh my god no..... just leave the game alone. literally, the reason I play osrs is because I had hoped you wouldn't be putting a bunch of stupid updates in to make the game easier and add more items... RS3 went to ****, if you want to add more awful updates to a game, please stick to doing it with that one and leave osrs the way it is.... I could do a better job of adding updates than you guys do. LEAVE IT ALONE.

Also, fix nightmare zone being stupidly good xp and cash if you get a noob account (everybody multilogs to do this part, if you werent aware) to cancel out all of the bosses that arent melee. People are just protecting melee and afking it for about the best xp and cash possible. Better than that, just remove NMZ, but at least fix it, as its the one thing in this game thats broken.
