Really instead of bringing in a new custom skill, i'd rather just see summoning be brought in, these ideas have obviously had a lot of time put into them. Hell, I even was going to submit a skill, but halfway through making it just realized that it would take way more time than 2 weeks to come up with. Seriously though, just bring back summoning.

Yep, totally agree man. These new skills just don't take the cake, i'd seriously rather have dungeoneering or summoning. Although we already have most of the summoning models, so I don't see why not, ya....just bring back summoning.

hmm.

out of these 5 herding is my favourite, but i'm still not huge on it. particularly the fact that the higher end stuff is all in the wilderness. I think i'll be voting against a new skill with these being the choices.

artisan isn't a skill, it's a task system. slayer works because as you train slayer you get better at killing unusual monsters. what about artisan, you get better at unusual skilling methods? that doesn't make sense. if i'm 99 woodcutting my character should know every way there is to cut a tree. it works for slayer because combat skills don't exclusively deal with combat (strength makes you stronger, hence its use in quests to shift a boulder or something, etc)

astronomy just doesn't fit with old school imo... leave the stars to the sci fi games.

forestry is a minigame

geomancy isn't entirely bad but i don't think it's a skill in its own right. more an offshoot of crafting/magic and the like

Wow, I'm gonna have to say...I'm really disappointed with this turnout. These new skills just....I don't know, don't feel right?

As said above, i'd really like to see summoning come back in place of this, maybe....make the next new skills a pdc and give us more time to develop one. But this is just....ugh idk, just doesn't spark my attention whatsoever. It's making me feel like oldschool is turning into a private server. I say bring in summoning or no new skill at all =( .

I share your opinion as well. Although atleast they gave it the old college try right?

To me, it doesn't look like we really have the cream of the crop in terms of picking a skill here, honestly, i've been reading through the pages, and it seems as though the general concensus comes down to "Summoning or no new skill". And to this, i'd sadly have to agree.

We already have some of summoning in place, Mod Alfred is diligently working on corp as we speak, and a lot of the pieces are already in place. Plus, i'm almost positive it will be more popular than the skills mentioned here, i'm not even going to waste my time voting unless there is an option to not pick any of them.
