The whole hellhound thing seems completely pointless and useless.

for one, there is no reason why anyone except bots and nubs would go to brimhaven dungeon.

second, to have the charm be degradable is stupid because of the above. Its not like this is an super overpowered thing that gives you a huge advantage. The only monsters worth killing there dont even have the hounds in their area (steel/iron drags)

Just not do this please waste of dev time.

If you want to make hellhounds good, just give them a normal drop table please. Or give them good bones that are between baby dragon - dragn bones.

Don't you dare take away the need to get a firecape or a ardougne cloak 4. That is what would happen if its BIS.

Why would max cape devalue any cape when it takes 2500 hours to get opposed to a firecape that takes an half hour to get?

the way i feel about this is that max cape should have the original stats or as a compromise being able to hold every cape item slot in rs at once. so for intance it would be able to hold fire cape, avas device, mage cape and gracefull at once. making it have all the already best in slot bonuses at once. also offering things like teleports which are in the ardy cloak and lightweight and gracefull effect which the gracefull cloak has.

Might be just me, but having same stats as the Fire Cape, putting the effort into getting the max cape really doesn't seem worth the time/effort. My personal opinion it should be the best cape in game, if not it should at least have special features that other capes don't offer.

Because why spend months, even years going for a cape when you can get another cape that is equally as good in a few hours in the fight cave?

EDIT: Maybe make the cape the best cape in slot for each side of the combat triangle? Same stats as Firecape, then maybe add stats to it for Range and Mage? I'm not sure how overpowered this could be, just an idea.

Okay wow this dev blog. So much I hope changes.

Personally love the max caps coming to old school. But honestly... PINK??? Can we make it so we can adjust the colors to any color? Similar to hairstyle colors interface. One for main color one for trim. Quite frankly I'd never wear a pink cape I don't care what it took to get or if it was BIS.
Should we make it so only one hellhound spawns at Vet'ion? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Why make the boss easier. This undervalues anyone's achievements with already killing the boss, lowers value of its ring too as it's easier to farm. WERE ALREADY GETTING ABBY BLUDGEON WHICH WILL BE NEW BEST ITEM AND ALREADY MAKING IT EASIER!!
Should we add jugs of water to shops? Hell no. Zulrah already drops ridiculous amounts of grapes, so much so they are practically free, why make the other half of the ingredients for THE FASEST COOKING EXP IN GAME even easier to obtain, bot, and lower the value of cooking immensely. You can already get 99 cooking in three days with this method!!! Why make it only cost ~2m!! NO!!
Should we make the ectofunctus automated? NO hello dead content to guilder altars! Undervalues the morytania daily ecto reward from hard and elite to make them utterly useless! devalues previously gained prayer exp to those who earned it!! No. No. No.
Should zilyana drop an item that removes krils darkness in zam gwd? No. Gives Sara another rare item it drops thus making hilt and ACB even harder to obtain! Plus it destroys lore

Continued...

Why should zammys room be bright like the rest? Cuz some whiny kids don't like it? Too bad that's the lore of the boss. It's a giant demon in the dark pit of zammys dark fortress. All for some kids who just complain? No. Keep the lore forget the whiners.

As for the rest. Love most of it.. Yes to 255 buckets please!! Yes to the total level worlds! Yes to sell 50! This would be awesome! Yes to pizzas!! Lots of good stuff but seriously please reevaluate the slow transition of easyscape your letting yourselves fall into with these unnecessary updates like water jugs/zammy brightness/Vet'ion changes. They devalue everything and only make things easier. Why jagex??!??

Love that your doing something about zulrah scales. This is the right step. Although I don't understand why blowpipe is worth five times the scales for a drop that's the same rarity. I understand it's cuz street value but that don't make much sense. I think being able to implement snakeling hunting into hunter to gain scales is a fantastic idea also.

My two cents on the max cape:
The max cape devalues skillcapes.
As long as only a tiny part of the playerbase are able to get it, it's not that big of a deal, but once the max cape becomes common it really devalues any sense of accomplishment from having a 99. This is evident in RS3.
The same could naturally be said for skillcapes, but they are already ingame.
I am divided on the issue, but will be voting no.
If you want to set insane goals for yourself, be my guest, but I don't think OSRS should encourage you to do so. Let alone reward you.
