The skill looks interesting but..


MORE melee content? Good grief, give it a rest already . They already have the highest PvP dps at max levels, they already have the best equipment variety, the most reliable KO weps, the best prayers and are getting two entirely new weapons in a single update. They do not need anymore for a looong time.


The dragon crossbow will be useless if it doesn't have a decent spec and the magic brace will not help with mage's lack of equipment variety and severe item dependency issues. The glove slot is not the problem.. and if the "BiS offense bonuses" is also referring to a damage boost, then that just makes things soo much worse.


Please don't bundle the melee content poll in with the range/mage content and provide more detail as we NEED to know the stats that they will have.

Ur in a dead clan.

Thanks Imperium, as always, for your acute insight.

I agree the dragon sword and mace on top of the much anticipated abyssal dagger and bludgeon is rather unexpected. However, I understand due to the player voting preferences/ tendencies it may be necessary to package these mele dragon weapons or at least introduce them hand in hand with the dragon crossbow in order to garner the necessary support, for the crossbow, for polling.

Mage is in desperate need of balancing relative to mele and range, particularly considering the recent and near future scope of updates. The effects of the new mage jewelry from sailing should be critically considered in order to boost the viability of magicians, especially for pvp.

MOST importantly however the dragon
Crossbow MUST
have a lucrative special attack in order to make it a viable ranged weapon.

Overall FANTASTIC work on sailing. The skill as currently offered appears incredibly dynamic and truly demonstrates the critical understanding the OSRS team has of the wants and needs of its player base.

I look forward to VOTING YES. Survival of the fittest

S l o w .... D o w n ......

Dear Jagex, (or whoever you are, now )...

You started off with the right idea, Exploration and Adventure. Randomized challenges and unpredictable ventures through the oceans of runescape...

HERE is what you are OVERLOOKING....


1. New content WILL get voted in. IF YOU DEVELOP IT, it will become part of the game. Polls will be almost irrelevant.


2. This is the SKILL of SAILING. You are creating, in Runescape, the definitions and parameters of the training process and meaning of expertise and mastery in SAILING.

{ You must focus on this BEFORE you get lost in designing gold hull plating, runite cannons, and mahogany storage chests.... }


3. Rewards and Unlocks

Everything listed here, gems, new dragons and dragon weapons, new implings, new bracelets, new this, new that. All of these completely disregard sailing, and have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Do NOT spend your time "working on the sailing skill", by desinging, polling, and tinkering with items that are for crafting, hunting, magic, ranging, and EVERY OTHER SKILL EXCEPT FOR SAILING.


.........

If you truly want to make a unique, enjoyable, fun, successful, and inspiring game. You must take one thing at a time.

Sailing around the seas, bug-free, with randomized events. Now THAT IS a good first goal. Disregarding the mainland and all it's troublesome worries of economics and weapons, battles and wars, disputes and current political issues, in search of new land and a new life... are these escapes not some of the most fundamental reasons for humanity to set sail?

EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE.

.......

just please focus on the experience of actually playing the game, rather than disrupting the balance of combat, skills, and economics beyond what you are capable of repairing. Or you really will run "your" game into the ground, instead of the water....

I ask me, can we diving to find treasures on the ground of the sea or in the caves? Just an idea. ^^

Is it possible to add a fast find Method for random Events? Since the engine was changed ago 3 weeks before, osrs is same jerky how rs 3 and if the sea is same jerky and laggy how the Gielinor lands is horrible for my eyes.

I think about the Cape Design... White subsoil with blue wave / waves in the middle and trimmed blue stripes on the side. Royal blue or navy blue the stripes and wave / waves. Just a suggestion. ^^

Hope it will become a great skill. :)

They did state in the past, sailing wouldn't hinder the development of other future content.

I personally think they are going in the right direction with this. It surprises me how much they have already come up with. It's alittle overwhelming but that just means we will have so much to do, to keep us busy.

We just need to work out the kinks before we get it pasted.
