My personal opinion is that a new difficult boss is nothing but a good thing.
However I dislike the cape.

I don't really like the idea of replacing the best in slot fire cape with a new cape but if the boss is as hard as suggested that wouldn't bother me too much.

The worst thing about the cape is the design, the colours look too vibrant, this was a massive downfall in rs3 imo. I think it should look as it does now, except with the colour of the lava replaced with that of the standard fire cape, and the gems should look dark black, like onyx's, I don't think the cape fits the art style of osrs at all at the moment though that's just my opinion.

As for the other capes, I think they should make them but add their own respective bosses of similar difficulty ideally with a slight focus on their respective skills.

Edit: I think it should only provide 5 or 6 strength.

Personally I'd like Jad 2 to be pushed back, I think the idea of it mixing in with the new tzhaar relatives is a great idea. I'm also glad to hear quality of life updates are coming back, and with that I'd like to suggest a new type of ironman.


I think a custom ironman mode should be added with its own logo, the mode could be customized as much as one desires. Options that could be changed would be things like trading with other players (or only trading with certain players), pvp drops, grand exchange allowed or blocked and picking up other players drops. This would allow people to create their own challenges and of course you could cheat but hey, it's custom for a reason. My inspiration is the goal of my friends and I, where we want to make a three way ironmen group, but the problem I'm running into while thinking about it is picking up other players drops. If I had a choice, I'd prefer to only be able to pick up my drops and my friends without accidentally picking up another players. The gamemode wouldn't necessarily be a custom ironman, but rather a challenge character with a custom logo. That or having an option to disable what I mentioned in a more advanced option section to make a custom adventure more convenient. Thanks :P Scapin since '07

Problem:

The people that actually want a new firecape just want a new look. No one is even asking for a new bis cape.

Solution:

When completing this new cave you should have the option to pick from several color kits to change the look of your fire cape. This would keep both the veteran players and pre-eoc/rs3 players happy.

There is no need for any more bis in this game

I agree with this and would be happy for this to be polled to the community.

The problem with always coming out with new bis is that it devalues the pre-bis items in those slots (obviously fire cape is untradable, but I'm talking about bis in general). If the oldschool team is going to keep coming out with updates to satisfy the new players then just come out with new tiers of armor/weapons that aren't bis. For example, a person with 40 defence can decide to wear rune, rock-shell or gilded. This is a solution to keep coming out with new content without devaluing the meaning of oldschool.

PLEASE NO MORE BIS IN OLDSCHOOL

Spoken from a true rs player that knows how to keep everyone happy

This is a good idea. This keeps the integrity of the oldschool feel because the original fire cape will still be bis and the cape gets a new look. Please poll this instead.

Okay, so after about an hour or so, I've read through all 19 pages of comments, and for your convenience, have condensed most of the comments into the following tally list. Tallies for comments count only once per person, but if one person comments several opinions, they will be added to the tally for each one.


The Major Questions
In descending order of frequency:

Should push the update to next January: 56
Do not want the update at all: 21
O.K. with the update in February: 15

Out of 92 separate comments explicitly stating their opinion on the update:
60.9% said push the update to Zeah batch 3
22.8% said they don't want the update at all
16.3% said they're O.K. with an early release

Incoming TL;DR...

The Other Stuff
This is a conglomeration of different comments not necessarily related to the big questions, listed in descending frequency:

Would like the range/mage capes as well: 32
Too much melee content/no need for BiS for melee: 24
Doesn't fit Old School style: 16
Graphics don't really matter: 11
Don't like art: 11
Would like to see the new boss on Zeah itself: 10
Should have separate bosses for different capes: 8
Require sacrificing a Fire cape: 7
Update still pushed on us even though poll failed: 6
Reduce stats on cape: 6
More lore should surround it: 4
Make it upgrade fire cape instead: 4
Should push update to summer instead: 3
Where's the Prayer bonus?: 3
Fight should be restricted to one style only: 2






Disclaimer : Tallies are only marked if at least two people have stated the opinion. This means that one comment can add several tallies to the list, provided they've given an explicit opinion on it. I've done my best not to include matching opinions from the same person in this tally, though there can be errors. This is, after all, a general consensus based off of this particular thread, and is purely anecdotal.

I like this idea

1. No more bis

2. People will still do the new caves for Fashion Scape

3. A new challenge that won't destroy the most iconic cape in oldschool
