I play a lot of BA and I like the idea of fighter legs, but could you please be more specific about its stats? I also have to say that I like the looks of the full penance outfit with a ranger skirt, so maybe the fighter 'legs' can look about the same as the skirt?

Another thing I'm missing is the ability to buy multiple of the same BA item. A few months ago you made it possible to buy multiple fire capes, but there's no way to buy a second torso for example. Unless you get skulled and poisoned, then buy a torso and pick your old one up...which is risky if you have 5+ torsos, imagine getting a random event :/

I don't like the idea of adding spades to barrows, just doesn't feel oldschool to me.

What do you think the stats should be?

To be quite frank, they should be low. If they have near the same as rune. It will destroy zerk pking. All that will happen is everyone will run into wild with penance hat - torso - legs and risk a dds... Plus I honestly think the skirt looks amazing, do not think legs can top it or match the quality.

There's some good things here, I'll be voting yes for most of it.


Barbarian Assault:
I would also like to see wave tickets added to Barbarian Assault. Tickets mean you don't always have to reset when someone leaves your team - it increases the chances that someone can come and help you.

Additionally, there is a glitch referred to as the 'trap glitch'. This is when a Penance Healer gets stuck on the defender's trap and the poison gets cancelled. Between 2007 and 2013 this has never been fixed, and has been a consistent problem for BA regulars.


Burthorpe Games Room: This place is almost always empty, perhaps it needs some unique prizes of its own to attract more people? Even matchmaking would probably not bring many people here.

First off:
Matchmaking - I like the idea of being able to teleport to the staging areas of these mini-games. My favorite mini-game is Temple Repair, and the absolute worst part of it is getting out there, unless you have ridiculously high skills so you can do all of the quests. A teleport option would be great.

Incentives - I like the idea of pretty much all of the incentives, both the shops and the items, outside of the clue scrolls (they should be random, imo). The rune pouches would be cool, as would the two extra prayers (LOVE new prayers) However, I REALLY like the idea of the Bonecrusher. Please, if you don't read anything else, read this - I WOULD LIKE THE BONECRUSHER ON OLDSCHOOL!

Castle Wars: I have fairly little opinion on this, as I rarely play Castle Wars... but I always approve of more ranger gear in the game.

Blast Furnace: I only tried this once in my life, and not having a bank closeby was one of the reasons I never tried it again. The requirements could go or stay, although lowering them WOULD probably bring more people around. However, the idea of the bank? Excellent. I approve of adding a bank.

Shades of Mort'ton: I'm torn on this one... being a person who has collected enough silk to make multiple sets of Splitbark armor, only to nearly never sell it, and when you do, almost never have it be worth your time... it WOULD be nice to have silk/splitbark-armor have a value... but I'm not certain I'd want Temple-Repair to be THE go-to place for mini-gaming. But, I'm not terribly opposed... just leery of the idea. It could be good in practice.

I have fairly little to say about the rest except these.

UI Change with Health and Prayer around the mini-map: I am opposed to this. Sorry, I'm a classicist.

Smithing: Yes, I'm for a Make-X option

Lletya: Added tree space? Yes please!


Thanks!



Sincerely,

HUGE no to colouring weapons. Would much prefer to keep it oldschool where weapons were always recognizable. I think how things used to look was a big reason why oldschool was re-introduced in the first place.

I think providing free runes would make too many people decide to mage, which would get overwhelming for even the best cw players. I personally approve of their suggestion of providing free runes up to deaths, so that if you wished to barrage you would still need your own blood runes.

"Firstly, here's the routefinding update for which you voted earlier this year! This addresses the issue where players dance interminably around large monsters when trying to attack with melee, as well as the "rubber-banding effect" that sometimes occurred when you changed direction abruptly."


Sure this is good, but in minigames like pest control it isn't.. players should get stuck behind the brawlers. Revert this. I am not 100% sure yet if it's the same, but in castle wars if you don't get stuck on cades anymore and auto reroute around them, it needs to be reverted.
