Okay, fine I'll bite.

The community did not ask for Old School. We asked for Pre-EoC. We also did not demand this utterly ridiculous, quasi-democracy we like to call "Power To The Players." It's the one thing that continues to single handily destroy the longevity of this game. That and the fact that they refuse to advertise, but do ridiculous things like a *10,000 tournament.

Your favorite game isn't going "down the drain" because we NEED new content. It is due to lackluster leadership. The Old School team has shown us brilliant ideas and proven to us that they know how to run the game, but yet they give us this 75% system. 75% Is far too high and was decided by Runescape 3 players.

At some point I hope they rethink this logic and take the game over properly. We can still be given the power to vote on content, but all of it is what's ruining your beloved game. Finally, if we have no new content at all this game will slowly die as the players max their goals. Is that what you want?

It's already begun to happen regardless.

Lay off with the new stuff, I want to play the runescape I liked and I know all of you guys are probably going "OH THIS LOOKS AWESOME I WANT IT ***** EVERYBODY WHO DOESNT THINK LIKE ME!" but you guys are just voting to change this game so much that its not oldschool anymore, its just a different version of runescape with earlier graphics. GF prices for other level 70 weps and get ready to see the duel arena and other stuff flooded. I thought jagex had it right with this stuff up until now... You all will respond with your hate on me covering for the new items saying that you love them but what you are really doing is making your favorite game go down the drain a second time. So say what you want. Really. But take my opinion into consideration for I fear the demise of my favorite game (used to be).

I rarely comment on the forums, because I, for the most part, agree with the new updates that come into OSRS. However, I feel the need to express my opinion that the abyssal bludgeon NEEDS to be a 1handed weapon!!!!!! It's been a really famous topic and something I've heard people want, for things like: Skeletal Wyverns, Kalphite Queen, Gargoyles, and many other things it could be useful for, I'm sure. We have a whip for slash that has a more balanced stat board, a hasta for stab that favours in accuracy a bit more than strength, so why not add a less accurate 1HANDED crush weapon that favours strength? It makes absolute perfect sense and puts to use all 3 melee styles. I see literally no reason to bring yet another 2handed crush weapon -.- (Saradomin Sword and the Godswords anyone?) So I realllllllllllllly think you should reconsider this and hopefully change it before you poll it. I do however approve of the special attack changes in the dagger, as before, all it did was remind me of Dragon Claws, lol.

Ultimately said :
I think that those are very lame special attacks for high end weapons. CLAWS OR BUST...

AND MAKE THEM ONE HANDED

Yep, both are very underwhelming. We don't need them to be feared like claws. A simple accuracy boost and lowered drain rate fixes the dagger. The Bludgeon I am unsure, but it could be an easy fix too possibly.

Also, early R.I.P to my suggestion. I've highly spoken out against Old Schools Deadman Mode, but have every right to. I love this game and the community. I will not see them ruin it without giving my objections.

If I haven't burnt all bridges. Again, Abyssal Dagger:
+50% Accuracy
+Reduce the Drain Rate to 30-35%

All my factual arguments as to why are spread all throughout. This will not overpower it, but rather make it an upgrade to a 28K Dragon Dagger that is currently far superior. It will also make the Abyssal Dagger the newest and only Hybrid weapon. People will love this and will love you. Thanks.

How about for abyssal dagger it acts as a tele block for 2 seconds every damage done. it would consume 100% special attack.

also the bludgeon should be like a dragon battle axe on steroids. 100 str but attacks as fast as battle axe and one handed. this would give an alternate for higher hits but slower speed like the dragon battle/axe dragon scimitar debate but able to compete with whip. there are no good one handed crush weapons in game but enough 2 handed (barrel chest god sword guth spear etc) don't need another one.

Also to those complaining about the game changing too much. the old school project was designed to be per EOC runescape but also how Runescape would have ended up before the bot war of 2008 with trade limits summoning and EOC. The game has had several amazing updates recently and jagged listens to the community better than any other game i know so please give them a pat on the back and don't be so hard on the os team. I think they are doing a fantastic job.

Bludeon would be OP if 1-handed not to mention it would make the whip obsolete when fighting wyverns. It can be 1 handed if and only if is stats get changed or weapon speed. Its as fast as the scimitar so it would definietly be better than whip against wyverns. My Clan

RIP sarasword, i dont think that the abby 2h should be introduced, we already ahve a sarasword for strength training, this just means that 2 we have 2 weapons that do the same thing but one is better than the other causing ones price to crash.

A sarasword will have its special attack and if you haven't noticed the sarasword is a slash weapon. My Clan
