The armor drops wont be nuff rewards for killing bosses as strong as gwd bosses are, why not making something original ? Make the Venenatis drop new magic robes equivalent to bandos/armadyl armor , Make the Skeleton Drop the Dragon Warhammer with a Stat reducing special attack , make the Callisto Drop a new lv 70+ bow. For the Demi-Bosses scorpia is fine as it is now, but the shard drops from the other 2 are like 1M right now, make they drop something similar to a arcane stream necklace.

Also for the slayer monster and the boss, yea the platebody is a good idea but PLEASE dont release just that, make the slay monster drop something unique like a new amulet and make the boss drop something like a NEW shield, anything unique please, dont make the boss drop the same thing as the slay monster or that boss will be as empty as the KQ is aready now because it is NOT WORTH IT

And here i thought you all would actually listen and try to update it to make it more appealing. What you have brought to the table is an abhorrence. People play 2007scape for a reason, and its not to have pets, dragon platebodies, ancient warrior gear, or updates to the glory/ring of wealth. The fountain of rune faces one option and one option only to make it not a worthless piece of programming - EXP.

I agree the bosses need their drop tables buffed, but with CURRENTLY INGAME ITEMS, not something new every freaking month man, this is becoming eocscape fast and I might just hop off the boat now. and dont even get me started on this motherlode mine crap, the only reason it is being voted in is because it was the least crappy of the options we were given, when one of the option should have been and SHOULD ALWAYS BE 'No change'

This is my little rant as a RS player since 2004, give the people what they want holy crap.


Oh and i was just going through it again, what we want from the new bosses is not a fedora or something like that, we want a option to get the chaos fanatics ancient staff for example, not something that is going to look like the day summoning first came out again. /cringe





/end rant

There are people with opposing votes to yourself, which is the exact reason why we have a poll system. If there is something you don't like you are more than welcome to vote against it. However, we have to be aware of everyone's wishes when we decide what to poll.

This really wasn't what I was looking forward to with the 93 Slayer monster. A dragon platebody is nice at best, but armors with strength bonuses (Fighter torso and BCP) are always going to be used over it. A platebody's going to specifically be for cosmetic purposes, and with every new cosmetic item that comes out it's going to be valued less and less as time goes on. Sure, I'll be able to make money off it but I want something I can use also. I have no logical reason to use a dragon platebody.

What I don't want is for the platebody to be given a strength bonus as BCP has already fallen enough as it is for those who make money at Bandos. I'd rather just not have it unless the Smoke Devils drop something else that's actually useful in high-level PvM, Slayer, or PKing. See: Dragon Defender. I swear, we can deal with having a "bad" model without the artist, people want it badly enough to not care. Just simply update the model when that artist comes around. It's the most logical thing to give from these monsters, imo.

Also on the part of the Wilderness armors, I think the degrade time on them should be increased in order to amp up their usefulness. These armors really only have use in the wilderness which is why it makes sense for these bosses to drop them, but at only 60 minutes of use I don't see them staying that valuable for long, IE the bosses will become stagnant again sooner rather than later. Poll the degrade time on it. I'd say 3-5 hours is more logical.

With what i had in mind, you'd need to be incredibly lucky to obtain the platebody from the normal monster :P
