How about...

...enough damn slayer updates.


We've had far more than 12% of dev time devoted to the 12% priority given this in the last survey...it's far beyond time to devote dev time to other areas already damn it.

Oh, and basing a 95 slayer req for Cerberus on a strawpoll taken in an offsite forum is ridiculous.

And considering that you're placing in inordinately high slayer req on Cerberus, that needs a slayer/boss task to slay...when I have NEVER been handed a hellhound assignment from Duradel, the HIGHEST slayer master...

...can you see where I'm going with this?

If you have never been handed a hellhounds task from duradel then you have never used that master more than twice.

I'm still baffled as to why people are saying "enough with the slayer updates" as if it's getting updated every few weeks? Slayer got a lot of attention on the last priority poll (I think it was the last one, correct me if I'm wrong please) because overall it is simply the most popular skill in the game.

95 Slayer is a perfect requirement for the hellhound boss considering an 85 requirement boss is coming too. If the abyssal demon boss wasn't coming with this I wouldn't of minded seeing the hellhound boss be high 80s req, but the "lower" slayers have the abyssal demon boss to kill, the "higher" slayers deserved a good requirement on the hellhound boss and we got that.

70 bracket has 3 only one more than the two in the 90 bracket. There is a ton of content in the 80's actually. I'd rather hellhound be a high level 80 slayer boss. I think 95 is only making content for eliteist. Seriously only 2k players, remember this beast is on task only. I think its quite unfair, either lower the requirements. This game doesn't need end-game content when very few players can do end-game content. I am okay with a few but this year all we had is end-game content like diaries.

Was it unfair that they made the diary cape have so many skills that were 90+ to obtain? Not at all, there needs to be "elite" content for the players that have put the time in to get those high levels/requirements.

The players that have put the time into getting 95 slayer already (and those who are going to achieve it before this update comes out) should be rewarded for their efforts. The "mid" level slayers are getting the abyssal demon boss which has an 85 req. Making the hellhound boss be a couple of levels above that would make little sense as the majority of people who could kill the abyssal demon boss could kill the hellhound boss.

I'm extremely disappointed with these changes it doesn't make any sense, the whole idea of boss slayer was to have the effect from the helmet therefore allowing more incentive to do slayer when bossing. I personally do not have I high slayer level at the moment and I was looking forward to this content but adding the level 95 for the hellhound boss has taken that away from me. Hellhound are still the same old dreadful task so I think there is changes to be made as now this update is completely irrelevant to me and not what I hoped it would be when I voted.

You can still kill many bosses with the helmet providing the bonus, which boss did you have in mind that you wanted the slayer helmet to work on?

What you said after that makes no sense. You said you have a low slayer level and you're looking forward to the content, so that must mean you had plans to train your slayer so you could take part in the new content? Then you see a 95 requirement and you're annoyed because it's "too high"? You then say this update is completely irrelevant to you. That's great news for the people that have put the time into high level slayer and are now going to be rewarded for it.

I think there should be an incentive for people to bank all the bones and hides from blue- and red dragons in the slayer cave. They should have their respective rooms closer to the entrance.

The 12 ranged bonus on the Pegasian boots seems a bit too much, concidering how much it devalues the iconic ranger boots. I think they should have 8 ranged bonus just like ranger boots.

Slayer helm only working on like half the boss tasks seems so illogical.

So you would have it work on all of them? Would you like it to destroy FFA corp and make Zulrah faster?

Cryogen said :
Hellhound boss requiring 95 slayer is just unnecessary. I was really hoping this one to be a slayer boss that anyone with high enough combat could kill regardless of their slayer level. Now all the bosses are locked behind really high slayer requirements. Considering only a few people complained about the lack of a slayer requirement, I think this change was just plain stupid.

You're basically saying you want "NMZ guthan" accounts to be able to kill a boss coming out with a slayer update....with no slayer level requirement? I don't need to point out how ridiculous this sounds.

"All the bosses are locked behind a high slayer req"...All? There are two "high" level slayer req bosses, smoke devil and hellhound boss. The abyssal demon boss is only going to be 85 and the kraken is 87, easily reachable by any player. Also I only see a "few" people complaining about this slayer requirement, the rest of the players seem happy with it.

I think one of the biggest problems here is also the fact that you were basically telling us that 'hey, we're releasing a new boss for you all slayer lovers to enjoy' and then 'never mind, we decided to lock the boss behind a requirement that fewer than 3,000 of you meet'

It's funny non of the people complaining about the 95 requirement says anything about the 85 requirement.

If you want to bring figures in, almost 15k people have 85 slayer. That means when you're saying "hey, we're releasing a new boss for you all slayer lovers to enjoy' and then 'never mind, we decided to lock the boss behind a requirement that fewer than 3,000 of you meet'", you're failing to mention those 15k that CAN access a new slayer boss.

And the herb bag... oh, why...

Great context here. At this point it sounds like you're trying to find any little thing to complain about that you can.

I wouldn't mind seeing them closer to the entrance but those with slayer rings should be able to bank quick enough anyway, so it's not a big issue imo.

That would make them useless. The ranger boots value come from two things; the rarity of them from a level of clue scroll not everyone completes and the fact they're the best in slot item. No-one buys Dragon boots for their defensive stats and Infinity boots for their defensive stats either. It's the same with Ranger boots.

nobody complains about the abyssal boss 85 requirement because it is the boss variant of a lvl85 slayer monster. The Hellhound thing is the boss variant of a non slayer specific monster.

Put the slayer requirement to an ingame poll and watch it get less then 10% support. The only reason the argument looks even on forums is because only no-lifers who already have 99slayer are on here.

Perhaps a drop rate increase hellhound boss after a certain slayer level?

Or make the dagger a useful weapon and increase abyssal boss requirement to 95.

And there it is, back to the age old complaint where you can either be a noob or a no-life.

When the diary cape stats were revealed, did I complain about the 91 rc requirement when I was only 65 or so at the time? No, I didn't, it was something to aim for and when I achieve that it will be a good feeling. Some people are lazy or close minded, or both for that matter when it comes to requirements on things, some are always going to want the easy way and you are one of those people.

Also there is not a chance it would receive less than 10% yes votes regarding the 95 requirement, if you truly think that then you are more close minded than I thought.

The latter part of your post is very contradictory. You want the 85 slayer monster to have a 95 requirement on the boss but you're complaining about the current hellhound task having no requirement be 95 for the boss? Also what level would you want the hellhound boss to be? Any answer apart from one will be contradicting yourself again.

There are no pleasing some people and you cannot please everyone. Any higher stats for the dagger and the whip/hasta loses value, any higher than the whip and it becomes new best in slot and the people complaining about "end game content" will be arguing with you.
