Repairing an item requires coins in your inventory, and the amount of coins required to repair each item varies.


Why is everyone satisfied with this? Why would you make a repair option in the item and use simply coins when we have skills like smithing and crafting and PvM where you could drop the items required to repair these, as well as adding shops that sell ingredients that smithers can buy to repair them.

The game has been dumbed down so much since its beginning!

We are looking at changing this behaviour next week, the player will instead have to use the broken armour on Perdu.

Please, do NOT do that. Of course it should be easy to repair the items, because when you pk, all you want to do is PK. This update was to balance out the risk when PKing, not making it harder in any way. Do not make it so that you have to run an extra round or go to the GE each time you die while PKing.

Great update, it creates a money sink, gives a more equal risk and reward chance and the game more enjoyable for us PvP-ers. If you have to go to an NPC to repair your stuff, or if you require special items to repair your stuff, the point for those voting yes to this update disappears.

And for those already risking a lot, like me, this update is to no major benefit, but I can see that this is an important update for the PvP community as a whole.

So it seems, but I doubt it. PKing is actually much more than just hitting each other and this addition to repairing the items would be good addition to it.

To repair the item is making the game harder, whether it includes GP loss straight from bank or actually repairing the item.

The vote was about repairing the item. So you have to repair it, not just use your coins on it!

The biggest problem with taking shortcuts in game development is that it is a slippery slope where multiple seemingly harmless choices have an overall effect of dumbing down the game. This has happened in so many games that started as adventure games but eventually got lost in their own meta-games and the gameplay ended up being Microsoft Excel -tier with add-ons after add-ons piled up on what used to be more harmonious GUI and a product.

This is or will be a huge problem for RS because while players are caught up in the meta-games of grinding and efficiency it is hard to get challenges or harms voted into the game. While I agree it is good that we vote on things, I also urge people to look beyond their own meta-games. How would OSRS look in the eyes of a newcomer? Give less efficient updates a chance and it might make your own gameplay experience better and more varied too!

Wow I'm really disappointed with the Jagex OSRS team right now. 10 year+ player and all I wanted to do on Oldschool was begin to PK but you've just ruined deep wild PKing for a lot of players. The whole update sounded good until I read this:

Warning!
Untradeable equipment will still be converted to coins upon death past level 20 wilderness. Do not risk untradeable equipment you are not willing to lose past 20 Wilderness.


WHAT THE F*CK. This is not what we wanted when we were informed about this update. Oh I'm sorry did you accidentally get lured into 55 wild with some untradables maybe a fire cape or a torso that you worked hundreds of hours for, yeah that's gone along with any hopes and dreams you had of PKing.

THE ONLY REASON I decided to try OSRS is because I wanted to PK, and I couldn't forsee an update this heinous being passed without some proper thought being put behind the development.

Shame on you Jagex OSRS Dev team. Shame on you for thinking that this small minor detail was okay. I even watched the live stream yesterday and I might be wrong, but I don't believe that this was mentioned at all.

I wish I could say that I enjoyed this update as I loved the idea of it but with one short half-assedly thought out paragraph the entire aspect of PKing has been swiftly ruined by your hands.

MAYBE LET US F*CKING VOTE ON THESE THINGS NEXT TIME.

It's your game and I respect that, but maybe consult the player base before you go changing BASIC CORE FUNDEMENTALS OF THE WAY IT'S ENJOYED before you go making blasphemous stupid updates that sacrifice hundreds of hours of enjoyment for a couple hundred thousand gold pieces.

I have lost faith in you Oldschool Dev Team. I really hope you will at least poll details like this in the future so that long time members like me don't feel betrayed by your lack of coherency.

Hello, I need some help from a mod.

Today I was PKing in void. I died and protect-itemed my void top. When I came back to collect the rest of my void, it wasn't on the ground, only my damaged book.

All I can think that happened is some sort of glitch. I'm aware that I'm supposed to have to pay for it to repair it. But it just wasn't there

I sold my void melee helm and void mage helm and bought back a helm and gloves. I still am missing my bottoms. I think that I should have my helm, gloves, and bottoms returned to me. This is obviously some sort of glitch.

Also, usually the protect item protects the helm, not the body.

I don't know why only my damaged book was on the ground, and not my void. But this must be a glitch and must be fixable.

Any help is appreciated

Great update. Thank you! Thank you especially for the Temple Trekking reward choices! I have been looking forward to this one. Is there any chance Old School will ever make the Temple Trekking NPC's able to level up, like RS2/EOC? That would be the ultimate challenge. Thanks again! :P
