Mod John C can you answer my questions please?

I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer my two questions.

Will it ever be possible to get the staff for modelling + designing new graphics rather than reusing the existing content, and if so when?

Just wondering because I'm sure things such as dragon claws (as an example) can then be created as a result.

Also you should re-poll the revenant question as I am aware that many people were not fully aware of what exactly the revenants will drop or not.

Furthermore, will be ever get a larger team (by recruiting more members to old school) to write + design new quests?

What about Scorpia? Why is that the only boss that doesnt get buffed drops when its the most challenging of the 3 demi bosses to kill?

If you have some ideas for Scorpia, then please do share them with us. We're open to anything.

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

With what i had in mind, you'd need to be incredibly lucky to obtain the platebody from the normal monster :P
Which is kind of pointless, then what reason do I have to kill it? People who get 93 Slayer are after the potential drops. I'm 99 Slayer so I don't really care about the fact that I've been assigned it, I want a reason for it to exist.

Scorpia already has a ton of rune drops and its odium shard 3 is worth 6-7m while its malediction shard is worth 1.5-2m. It doesn't need a buff as bad and its in multi making teams effective.

If you had in mind the same drop rate of d chains from dust devils (1/32k) whats will be the real point for killing the normal monsters ? Make they drop the d pl8 in that drop rate but please add another unique item with a drop rate like whip (1/512), this way you will give slayer a good money making reward. For the boss add another unique drop too, maybe a unique weapon with drop rates similar to godwars dungeon ? if you just add the pl8 i can see both boss and the monster pretty empty in a few days of release =/

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. when voting, one of the options should have been and SHOULD ALWAYS BE 'No change/update pls'

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 Please leave.

I feel kind of upset. Whenever I do the effort to post on these forums, I get ignored. My feedback was quite simple..

"More risk = more reward". Whenever I do a level 3 clue I get 2-3 of them leading me to the wilderness. Do you plan to boost the wilderness clues reward a bit? Because, quite frankly, going into the wilderness couple of time, to get couple of law rune, some nature rune, one or two thousand of coins and a rune axe isn't quite enjoyable. I don't mind the reward much usually, but I don't see why clues wouldn't get better reward with the increased risk of the wilderness.

I think to note resources inside the area it needs to be more than 50 gp. Something more like 250 gp per item or so. I mean noting items and not having to go bank is a pretty big deal. You get a lot more experience and still make money. It is basically the equivalent of power-mining iron but getting to keep all the iron, except we are dealing with high level resources.

Other than that I would say the fixes and the new poll options seem pretty balanced, not too overpowered or game changing, but they definitely add more incentive to enter the wilderness.

I would be careful at adding 8 charges or things of that overpowered nature as some people are suggesting. 5 charges is enough. Not to mention the fountain of rune is not as useless as some people claim. It is in close proximity to popular deep wildy pking spots and when players are teleblocked on the deep obelisk and try to run south it gives a way to freeze them when you don't have runes in your inventory. (This may not work, I have not tried it, just a thought) Also it is a free vengeance whenever you are fighting in the area. Plus adds an interesting aspect to fights if you run there and utilize it.

Also I agree with the person who already mentioned it. I am not for a dragon platebody being released right now, but if I was I would definitely expect lore with it. It will become disappointing if items are always introduced simply as new drops rather than any story-line to go with them. They should be difficult to obtain, and not just in the sense you have to kill something.

Also, I would state that the PvP armour if released would be reverted to its other model once you get someone who can do it. It will get rather confusing to have all these things which we know from the other game which look different from this game. I actually would try to hold back altogether on new weapons and armours until you have an artist (I will say you did a good job with the trident though)
