Finally you are polling claws. Thank god for that.

I have no problem with all updates here except the tank shield, adding a 20% damage reduction shield will make it much harder to kill someone in 50 wild who's tbed. I have a feeling all the single clans will complain. Maybe if its worth 1b+ then that would balance it.

Elder Armour/Kodai Robes/Twisted Armour:

The T75 Armor is the BEST idea on the Dev blog. Keep those 3 going strong for sure. They are literally the only reason I'm still playing. The hope the game will progress and high level content will drop high level gear. Will be voting YES.

Dinhs Bulwark:

Fantastic idea for the game. Very different and interesting new way of going about a pvm challenge. Will be voting yes to it.

Dragon Claws:

Stupid? Why are dragon claws coming from raids? Why not a quest reward? Why not a solo boss later in life? These should be polled much later down the line and be saved for future content.

Ancestral Robes:

You could just replace Kodai Robes with these? lol

The rest:

All little neat ideas, eh is all I have to say about them. The T75 armor sets are the only rewards BIG enough for something as massive as something titled "Raids". Without a them as a reward, I will probably just stop playing and wait for the game to progress and actually get new content.. Like a new skill.. or high level gear. Same as many of my other friends have already..

Remember.. They failed at over 70% twice, and then scored 70% for wanting them in game on a survey. The community wants new gear. They would of passed with more info, having the armors on a test server (like the wand and maul), and maybe have a community stream to actually concept how they will look in game.

You need you actually put a little effort into things with a stuck up big headed community of people who never want change.

I mean you can literally read the post above mine or 2 or 3 above mine and see how small minded the people of Old School RuneScape are.

Although D claws might be risky, I think it's what PVP needs to open up a little bit more variety. Not a fan of the Elder, Twisted and Kodai sets though. I think there's already plenty of options without adding more completely-un-obtainable-for-low/poor-players armour.

Super positive about everything else though and appreciate the dedication to this content!

Would prefer to see Dragon Claw's special attack tweaked slightly. Changing from 100%, 50%, 1/2 of second hit rounded up, 1/2 of second hit rounded into 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% with each attack having a chance to hit 0.

Ancestrial Robes are great. The only change I would like to see would be changing the hood to 1% magic damage instead of 2%, but that is not a major concern.

Twisted Bow I am a little confused on. Does the effect only apply to the bows bonuses itself or does it apply to your characters overall accuracy and damage? Also would prefer to have it have a different effect in PvP combat where the higher your targets magic attack bonus and magic damage bonus the more accuracy and damage you have instead of based on magic level. Would also like to see this more as an item like Saradomin's Tear or Kracken Tentacle and have it charged with Seercull bows. (1 bow is 1,000 - 2,000 charges with max of 20,000 charges).

Twisted buckler is okay I guess, but does not seem overly needed.

Dinh's Bulwark seems cool but the whole block or pummel seems unneeded. Also what attack style would pummel be? I assume defence but it does not specify. Instead of the blocking mechanic would prefer to see a mechanic to gain NPC's aggression. (similar to provoke ability in RS3 but constantly active when shield equipped).

The dragon hunter crossbow seems okay but if you going to make a weapon for a niche why not increase the number of niches it could work into. Instead of a Dragon Hunter Crossbow have a Bone Hunter Crossbow with the ability to chisel bones into bolts. Dragon Bone Bolts would be dragons, Dagganoth Bone Bolts would be Dagganoths, Big Bone Bolts would be giants, Bat Bone Botls would be bats, Wolf Bone Bolts would be wolves and hell hounds, Monkey Bone bolts would be monkeys, Burnt Bone Bolts would be undead, Bone bolts would be players and increase attack rate to same as hunter crossbow.

I would still like to see the Kodai Robes have more melee defence then rune armor.

Dragon Claws are good.
Ancestral Robes are good.
Twisted Bow is interesting. You should make a Twisted Branch drop in raids and use Kraken Tentacle to string the Twisted Branch or maybe something with the Seercull. Either way, the Seercull and Kraken Tentacle need a sink.
Twisted Buckler is good
Dinh's Bulwark needs a bit of work.
Dragon Hunter Cbow is good.
The armor sets should be non-degradable but should a little weaker and maybe have a full set bonus like Barrows sets do.

Litizen said :


the MAIN reason everyone voted for Oldschool to be re-released was to play the old game with the old content some years ago..... not adding this new junk via polls that ruined the main game for 11year players like myself.


This is incorrect. We voted to have a gamn that isn't EoC. That's it. The vast majority of players and jagex understands that online games need updates to survive. Time for people like you to understand that.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

I'm liking all the rewards great job jagex! I just have a bit of criticism on the 2h shield based on the stats and special. I'm really excited to see a two handed shield come into the game but the 75 attack req and an offensive special do not seem like a good idea to introduce with a primarily defensive weapon. Its stats are nowhere close to a tier 75 (which is a good thing!) the shield should be solidified as a defensive main hand option and thus should require defensive stats to use.

Why limit it by adding the highest tier attack req in the game? If removed the worst I can imagine is someone with low attack and high defense wielding it which wouldn't affect PvE, and at worst would make a defense pure harder to kill in PvP. The solution to that could just be making the 20% damage reduction not work against other players rather then throw a top tier attack req and an offensive special attack on something that isn't used for attacking. I don't think anyone thinks ahrims staff (a tier 70 magic weapon with a 70 attack req) was a good idea, so why repeat this with 2h shields?

With all that in mind why not reduce the shields damage capability, remove the 75 attack req, and remove the offensive special or repurpose the special attack to be defensive? We already have a defensive special on the staff of the dead why not add a defensive special to the 2h shield?

Why are you further weakening mages in the combat triangle. The gear you add for mages isn't that good but the gear for melee and rangers further weaken magic users and to top it off the magic gear isn't ideal for PVP. Accuracy for mages doesn't equate to a KO. If you only hit 16s you can't finish off an opponent no matter how accurate it is when both players are using the best food available. Then you add a rangers bow that gets even stronger vs mages. This is ridiculous.
