Honestly quitting if this passes tired of game altering content hope osrs eventually dies out because its no longer oldschool and youre doing what you did with rs3. Firecapes are an oldschool icon now everyones going to wait a week till people learn it and buy a cape off some website and everyones going to be walking around with the new cape. If you kids are getting bored of oldschool go play a different game and come back (or dont) dont change what makes it oldschool. I shouldve quit when I originally wanted to when the G.E came out but this game is annoyingly addictive and Ive already invested a tonne of time and money into this bs. Why dont you all just play rs3...

If I had to choose the lesser of two evils in this scenario, I would vote to push back the release until everything has been designed and tested for months.

Remember that for Zeah as well. Players don't need "Big Huge Awesome Update!"
Players need intricate content that flows with the game's overall lore and theme.

In my opinion you have already answered your own question. The way this post is worded seems to subliminally (if not literally) hint at the fact that your staff is rushing to get this content made. It also seems that within your phrasing of this developer's blog that you're almost asking for more time from the community which is a smart route. If I have learned anything from playing this game for over 10 years, it's that rs players of every genre live up the the mentality of instant gratification. They want the content as soon as they possibly can, but when it's released they complain about how the quality of said update is subpar, when in reality they were part of the population that almost forced the development teams hand into releasing an update ASAP.

Take your time. Quality over quantity my friends. I'd much rather see a fully formed update with a lot of time put into it and unique aspects. OSRS needs as much new content as it can possibly get, without going overboard of course. So steer away from using the same old same old and wait it out.

Personally I love this idea of a new melee cape and best in slot melee cape... but you should add in range and mage cape... if you're going to add melee why not the rest? As for time.. I'd like to see it in February, I don't expect amazing quality when it comes to old school it's just apart if why we love "old school"

See there you guys go you're doing a cave rather than a silly expansion. It's always good when you take time with content instead of rushing it. We don't need another Zeah. OS Status: Nothing atm.

RS3 Status: 120 Slayer done now onto figuring out what I should do next.

As it stands I'm probably going to vote in favor of the inferno but against the new cape (thanks for making them separate options). I'm in favor of a new cape, and it being stronger than fire cape is fine but I still think this is too much. +4 strength and +3 attack is comparable to wearing 2 fire capes, which completely trumps any other cape in the game; not good. BiS is fine but it's should be a small upgrade - so what if its small, its still the best and that's enough to make people want it. My suggestion for the new cape is lowering the strength bonus to 6 or 7, and making the attack bonus the opposite of defenders', ie something like +2 stab, +3 slash, +4 crush. I think that would be good balance with the ardy cape as well as be especially fitting for the thzaar since I feel crush is their prefered style.

I believe the majority of people will want this update pushed to Zeah batch 3, as do I, in order to prevent the content being rushed. On the other hand, I believe next January, 1 year from now is too long. Is there any possibility of releasing The Inferno sometime during the summer as originally mentioned in previous development blogs?
