Only on OSRS do people think new BIS items are useless trash lol. Very reasonably balanced now unless you want to add a bandos sink into the item.

I do not know what BIS stands for. I do think the items are rubbish. Also, we should not make existing high level content deny us future high level content. It is ridiculous we like to point the finger at future content and yell "MY ITEMS WILL LOSE VALUE." Who cares? 10 Years of god wars pride. It's TIME to pass the torch.

Dragon Sword is niche. Elder Maul is underwhelming in PvP and is considered a "combo weapon", yet there are MUCH BETTER combo. Elder Maul also doesn't stand up to other crush weapons for PvM. The armor sets won't be appreciated when we have tier 65 - 70 gear that honestly fairs up to them nearly identically.

The biggest worry I have is that we currently have 5 raid bosses, and I expect many more to come to be fair. I feel like we need to add a good bit more to the offered rewards, and somewhere on that offered roster needs to be the introduction of SOME tier 80 items. I am very worried that we are about to settle for a fun update, but one that won't be as relevant as we are giving it credit for.

If you think I'm just crying wolf, log on to Beta if it is still live. Equip the Elder Maul in 100% max gear. Tell me it isn't the biggest load of junk. Why wouldn't I just gear up with an AGS? It has zero relevance, and an additional +15 crush wont save it.

about Dragon sword

the idea behind the specs on the swords are good but in todays pvp [also im a vet of rs played sence 2007, and mainly pk also my intentions stand on dragon claws that they should come back but enough about that] the ideas are good but is it fast enough to keep up or dose it hit hard enough it is going hit enough that the specs even going to be worth specing threw prayer or hit hard enough its worth specs I really would hope you could change this idea up a little but im just a man with a peace of paper so yea lets see is the sword mightier then the pen ?

I would love to see Dragon Claws brought back in their original state. As for now I am arguing the Elder Maul would be better off being replaced with the Chaotic Maul. Elder is useless.

Yes, the pen is currently mightier than the sword. Dragon Sword is niche, and honestly will be rubbish in PvP. I mean, if that's the best they can come up with, whatever...but most of the other content feels unfinished as well. Nothing feels like it will be the next best thing. Yet this PvM is revolutionary. It'll feel so unappreciated.

yea I agree pvp seems underappreciated aswell its sad the see the game I grew up with this. this. this. empty....

new spec restore is just ruining the game sometimes I guess they need to be blind to see whats not their I took a few yearsa collage for moddleing / grapic design and seeing their mistakes it is easyer to point out but its just easy fixes/codeing

Item fixes like the crystal bow lol. #1 reason the wilds bad
2# spec restore
3# highbrids

easy way to fix make the c bow degrade more and more the more deaths makes it more valuable and fixes current problems,

spec restores going to crash corp items and bring out more and more rushers atm the 1 thing the wild dosent need. so slow the time it takes or something that ones a bit more tougher situation but still a posable fix

highbrids the overhead are to much for some players. when that kind of power runs the wild and your not able to get better at it hows that fair for over half the other players ? more wep sets should take prayers off reducing the number of prayers that can use add a simple fix starting from bottem and going up 1 up every item extra they bring add more risk and helps the situation or give their own world and make it not active anywhere other then that one like really lol common sense...

@the mods

you can only cut you player support only so much before you bankrupt your self splitting the community isn't helping use a combat triangle for the community
as in used to be 100k then 60k now 29k ish ? but don't get me wrong im sure on a good day its more its just an example of every time ive looked at the player count. as in 100k when I started in 07 sometime, 60k after a bot nuke, and today 29k after eoc yea players are coming back but how long till their gone again weps dident ruin the game claws brought ballence to the highbrids btw.

Thank you Zombie. I am glad there are players who want a future for high level content. Not just challenging PvM with no real new high rewards.

Again, NEX Sets were the RIGHT IDEA, but wrong execution. The HP bonus was way too OP, and the defenses could've been lower as well. But having a new gear that offer a good 5-10 HP set bonus, and is top tier 80 but nerfed to acceptable defenses would be interesting. It COUNTERS having OP weapons.

How to counter OP weapon? New gear, new prayers, new food, or HP boosts. Once that is balanced and an OP armor comes out, fix with a balanced weapon?

But instead we are so afraid to use RS3 mistakes, and nerf them slightly to make them success stories. It's pathetic.

No I am not saying release Torva. I am saying RELEASE GOOD CONTENT. And don't be afraid to experiment with higher tiers, but be ready to find balances.

That's an issue with the AGS and not the maul. The AGS is overpowered, the answer isn't to make all other weapons overpowered, it's to nerf the AGS.

Have Raids even passed a poll.

The original zeah poll did not mention raids and also said any significant changes/additions would be polled separately I looked through all the polls since then and I cant find any poll for raids.

I found a dev blog where they talked about the second batch of zeah and raids but still not polled.

So are the content team spending a lot of time on rewards for something that has not been polled.

If anyone knows of such a poll please give me the title and date of it.
