Woah woah woah WOAH.

What's the point of the baby green dragons if they're just going to be in the wilderness?

That was one of the few things that seemed useful about this whole debacle, especially after the pointless and ridiculous slayer requirement on Cerberus.

Seriously. That just lets the jerks that kill people on slayer tasks to be jerks KNOW that they're going after people on slayer tasks. There's no point!

I would vote for baby green dragons in the slayer cave, but I won't vote for them in the wilderness because that's NONSENSE.

Why would you go to the baby green dragons and get killed in lieu of going to the adult green dragons and getting killed? At least there's a chance of getting some reward before a murderer decides he wants your... nothing... because you brought three items because you're still using Vanna*a and don't have the money to lose on such a thing.

Early mid-level players exist. They're a meaningful audience that shouldn't be so flagrantly ignored just because some jerks want to make them have a bad day.

I can't say that I know I would've stuck around if I were an actual new player who got attacked three times while trying to do a slayer task (Seriously. I got attacked three times while I was trying to do a green dragon task). I mean, what's the point if it's just going to be like that forever, you know? They don't know that only Vannaka assigns green dragons, nor will they look it up.

People complain about "caving in" with the random, arbitrary slayer requirement for a boss that shouldn't have one at all, but I see a whole lot more issue with caving in to people who only want to scare away new players.

This is close to how it should be, HOWEVER the crush weapon should have 75 attack. Also Hellhounds should be at 85 slayer not 91 as that is too high. Other than that it is fine, I would also ask for the herb pack to be put at 70 or 80 but it doesn't matter.

Also how can people agree to Abby bludgeon when they don't know it's stats all we know is it's got a fast attack speed. Might as well have stats of a godsword in str and the slash bonus in crush style? Better get the stats for it otherwise it's possibly *p or underpowered?

Why is the abyssal bludgeon 2h? I understand the desire to retain value in the hasta, but it will still be the best in slot for stab, even with the introduction of the dagger. If the bludgeon is made 2h, it will be the only tier 70 style-specific weapon (the others being the whip and the hasta), that is two handed, which seems a bit unbalanced, especially given the number of monsters that are very weak to crush.

No to Abyssal Bludgeon! It already sounds worse than a chaotic maul and you haven't even stated the stats. You've already released the highest dps weapon in the game which you had to nerf (and is still op for pvm). At least poll the weapons/spec separately from the boss.. state that its going to be the highest dps crush weapon at the speed of a whip and see if people actually want that as a drop, otherwise, I fear many will vote for it unknowingly.

It'll be the strongest dps for CRUSH, nothing more, whip will still outdps it for slash, and hasta for stab

As so many people with high slayer are saying Cerberus should be 95 req and most of the ones disagreeing don't read dev blogs or don't bother to reply. I STRONGLY appreciate lowering the requirement. :) Otherwise the wait for Zeah's new slayer bosses would be gone.

Also what will be the stats of the Abby Pludge? And why is it 2 handed? ( hasta + defender is quite good for crush as it is and as its 2h we won't be able to use a defender alongside it, so it has to be SICK :) ).

Overall good blog. GJ!
