Vocal minority? Have you not read any of the comments on this thread LOL. So I guess the majority is the 100 people on a twitch channel who are also spamming "D CLAWS" which 60% of the community hates

Cool Idea! I think the people who aren't supportive are missing a few points.

First of all, it is clear to me that this will be a seperate server so it will not affect your main account.

Second of all in my mind, Deadman isn't about high level content. It's about creating a world where runite is actually very impressive armour again. Since everyone is having their xp halved all the time power creep is no longer an issue. It's a much more fast paced game, and I think a lot of the joy will come down to forming factions of players who end up "ruling" over certain areas, almost becoming a kind of gang warfare of players wearing mithril, adamant and green dhide. Lead by a few elite players who got lucky on their first few fights and ended up well beyond other players. If they're really organised they might even start assassin squads to go and take out "threats" players who are training in obscure areas in order to build their lvls up high enough to threaten the leadership. Having a high enough level may be enough to make you a target! It will be much more realistic combat as well, with players trying very hard to avoid dieing.

I think it's a great idea. Just imagine on the first day -- groups of freinds teaming up for protection -- rushing combat quests, fighting for control of areas. It's gonna be great!

Yep, just think about the first day. Don't give any concern about the long term effects this will damage against our community.

Honestly, I hope some private server manager picks this idea up and does it themselves. Don't ruin our official game.

Nice data you have there to support you statement. So i guess the majority is the 5 or so people on this thread opposed to deadman mode plus one really obnoxious person spamming in multicolors... See, i can do it to? Isn't it fun?

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Might get a lot of hate for this. But it kinda makes me think of Soa, and how some players will split into factions however the most impressive accounts will be the high level solo players.

Hi, I can propaganda too if I wanted to post my text to my YouTube. This thread would become a massive outrage statement. The same way Mat K made it a hype using propaganda.

Yet, I am sophisticated and highly logical. I don't need a pack of blinded followers. 5, or so? Or do you mean a little over 50% of this thread that is flaming this as a waste of time?

See, I can do it too...oh wait you didn't do anything, but use pure opinion and kinder-logic. Please reply once you've made it to middle school.

Thanks,

Defil3d

Yeah we'll see how this passes in a poll bud if it even gets that far so I can just come back and laugh at these (oh wait I already am) Sharia Lore said :

No thanks. Waste of dev time that could've been spent better on something else.

This. I think there should be a question on the next poll that says 'should we spend developer time on deadman mode? an overview of this can be found in the latest dev blog'. You shouldn't waste time on multiple dev blogs if there is not enough support for the idea in the first place (which i'm gathering may very well be the case).

Having three different game modes is silly and excessive IMO, and will only serve to further divide the community.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 this is the biggest waste of dev time ever. how about you put that time and money into advertising the game and making a better update? pvp is bad enough as is lmfao

Deadman Mode will divide our player base further, kill our current PvP, and offer highly punishing mechanics which will ultimately have players quit the game!

Dividing The Player Base:

We have the standard Runescape account and by bastardized popularization we introduced Ironman Mode, and the absurd Ironman Mode. Currently we don't have enough players to fill our worlds, or their content. Zeah is on its way! We can't afford to split our player base further.

Our Current PvP Is In Trouble:

PvP is currently no risk, no reward, and always being ddosed. If you introduce Deadman Mode and people leave our current PvP it will die out. Furthermore, Deadman Mode will become ddosed like current PvP.

Player WILL QUIT:

Let's transition perfectly into the ddos issue. Players will be punished to the point of no sympathy. All of their beloved work will be gone and so will their admiration for this game.

Do you really want to do this!? Just because Mat K said it was a cool idea on stream? Should we let the game as a whole suffer for the mistake of one person? Let's see, why is this familiar? Oh, right, Evolution of Combat and Mod Mark. Our game has quickly dropped from 50K to 40K player base. Our game has made a 10,000 USD PvP tournament to try to hype PvP. PvP is already in trouble as is all of our unfulfilled content. Please CANCEL this terrible update before it's too late. I get people are blinded by hype, but maybe they should take a second to consider the risks this update will bring.
