How about instead of creating soon to be dead mini games you take a look at the ones currently in game.

Let's take barbarian assault for example:

1: Remove the one wave diary requirement. It's completely unnecessary. People will spend a fair amount of time to create a team only to have a diary hunter leave immediately after wave one. This frustrates players and drives them away from the game.

2: Point interface glitch. It is known that if you do not close a point screen/interface you will not get points for the next wave. I'm not sure if this was intended or not but it's also very unnecessary.

3: Healer trap glitch. Sometimes a healer or two will get stuck and unpoisoned near the runner trap. I believe this mainly happens when a healer is blocked from healing a runner or if the runners are not multi-killed. But it should be fixed.

4: Monster spawn delays when the person scrolling uses a dispenser/egg converter.

5: Allow the tutorial to be skipped. It's long. It's dull. People continuously make alt accounts. Just please.

These are only a few things that should be looked at. I'm sure there are other mini games as well that could use some love.

Maybe instead of just potions like energy / super restores, there could be spawns/chests of the ingredients to make them, this way people with high skilling stats might have a slight advantage. Could work the same with with leathers/bars scattered around too - perhaps only a few anvils so they are 'hot spots' though!

I think also, the 100k entry is too much, drop entry fee to 50k with just one free ticket for 3rd place, 800k for first, 300k for second! 100k money sink every game that is played. @_Almostlost - dm for a swap!

I only really do like the idea of the mini game as it sounds like castle wars meets alkharid duel arena toruneys especially with putting money into a coffer like a lottery.

I think for this idea to work in the long run you will need more than just a gold sink from a mini game for a reward. I think there should be some sort of new cosmetic item in game that won't affect the prices on ge. Clan Defy -

Jmods: Why not incorporate these new concepts as a part of a re-work of the TzHarr fight pits? It's a very similar concept, and could be used to revitalize some old content rather than rendering it obsolete.

I like a lot of the concepts put forward in this idea. However, I don't like runescape's how it basically runs parallel to existing content. This sounds just like the fight pits, only just... *better*. Maybe if this is what the fight pits had been, they wouldn't be dead content.

Also, I hope "searching" the island for weapons involves using skills to gather resources and make them from scratch, or PKing them from other players. I mean, in theory, all those other skills do exist for a reason, right?

I think adding a tier system would make this more competitive and rewarding. Say for example you win a BR game the top player or top 2 players would advance to another match with a 5-10 min break Inbetween, you would then be matched with other players who got top 2 within another game. This is kind of how the old duel tournaments worked in pre eoc. The gold pot could then be increased aswell and the stake would be higher (if you choose to stay in for another round) This could go for another match or even 2 matches before a final victor is named. Can you say 10m+ pots? MUCH better for competitive gameplay and a higher sense of glory.

I think that unless you are in a good clan with something like teamspeak or skype you will likely just be donating your 100k to the people that are in clans.

Should just make it clan based to start with.

Will be voting no unless this is totally rethought. You are proposing dead content, and I'd rather not see you guys waste your time.


My issues:

1/ Why give everyone maxed stats?
- This makes the whole thing pointless IMO. Split combat like PC or something, and let us use our accounts.. we don't want tournament worlds or a private server, this will be a major reason why this will be dead content if left as is.

This is PVP content, you need to cater to people who do PVP. People who do PVP don't want to be exactly the same as everyone else in a pointless RNG-decides-all minigame for money, theres maxed staking for that. They want to use the stats they trained.


2/ Why same entry/reward everytime?
-1.5M grand prize?... Obviously this should vary. With inflation, within a year or two this will be empty no doubt, you guys aren't even giving it a chance.


Simple changes could make this a good update but WHY WHY WHY make us all 126 combat!?!?
