My alternative to the Slayer Helmet. What do you guys think?

I don't think this old game needs the slayer helm in any form.. but that's about to become a non-issue, IMO.

When less than 20 percent decide on the location of this cave... that's gonna leave 80% or more... less than happy.

IMO, this cave HAD potential... which this devblog has entirely wiped out.

Low level barrows armour... without ever stepping foot into barrows...

Where GWD devalued mining and smithing... the onion will devalue crafting and herblore.

What a shame.

Who cares where it is? Is anybody going to quit the game because the new update isn't in Ardougne?

How many people with sets of barrows armour actually got it from barrows themselves? Very very few. At least this way people actually have to do something for the armour that's related to combat rather than runecraft for 4 hours to pay for it.

And WHO CRAFTS BY SPINNGING FLAX?? gl getting a high crafting level of that lol.

This update sounds fantastic and I'm really looking forward to new content. The game needs to stay fresh to stay alive and I thoroughly hope it stays alive :D .

Peace out.

The issue is far from 'where' it ends up.. the issue is HOW it ends up where it ends up.

Well yeah.. who cares how many peeps have these lower level barrows set effect... while using whip and defender... no need of guthan's warspear with this set... because the armour alone will offer the heal effect.. and you don't need 70 atk or def... so long as you can kick ass on quest bosses you've already beat.. that's all that matters (NOT!).

Yeah, I'm gonna take a guess that the flax won't have nearly the impact on crafting that BOTH sand AND seaweed will have.

Teleports to ANY rc alter... what the hell, why not add runespan already? (NOT!)

Teleports to ANY house portal? No need of walkin' to Relleka now.. or using the fairy ring... and forget needing to do the quest for fairy rings.. forget mage for teleport spell.. forget crafting transport jewelry..

Subject to the outcome of a separate poll question - Teleport scrolls that take you to any Runecrafting altar.
Nope, nope and nope. You might as well just put in RuneSpan, it'd absolutely annihilate rune prices and not to mention completely ruin any high level runecrafting achievement - Please, don't even poll it, I'd be terrified in-case that one even got close.

The point of OldSchool is that it stays OldSchool - Something like this doesn't need rewards, people will do it for fun. There's very little way to make it rewarding without highly degrading many skills and achievements.

Sorry, the update in general has great potential but the rewards do not.

...

Is there a better way to determine where it ends up?

The armour is degradable and will take time to get. It'll still be more efficient to switch between warspear and whip for slayer rather than spending half of your training time doing a minigame just so you can heal with a whip/rune defender.

At the moment glass making is dead content because there isn't enough molten glass in the game. I'm all for them putting an easier way of getting seaweed and sand in. D'hide bodies are still faster xp so it's just useful for mid level crafters.

Same deal for altar scrolls. So long as the time taken to get them and use them is less than the time taken to rc normally (hopefully quite a bit less), there's no problem.

To buy a house teleport scroll you'd have to not spend points on valuable rewards such as ess etc. so effectively you'd end up spending, for arguments sake, 10k on a scroll which you could easily substitute using an enchanted lyre which is worth only a cooked shark. I don't think ANY of the rewards is going to significantly change the way people play the game, and if they do then that's not a bad thing.

Change is good.

Peace

Thanks so much for this and I hope we vote it in.

To the mods: I like many others have had a negative outlook on Jagex in the last few years. However, you guys working on old school like this show us that there are still great people working there and listening to the community. I would just like to say thank you for creating and working on a game that many of us love.

P.S. Tell Gerhard we need GWD. =) :D

Yes, vote no to it, you'll be sorry when the pvmers vote for gwd instead.

Maybe i'll start encouraging people to vote yes to gwd if this doesn't pass, hmm....

Will I?

I'm thinking no.. no I won't. I won't, because if this passes, as is, I won't still be playing OS when GWD is polled. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.
