so raids are already an awful let down from the get go but mainly due to god awful loot. It's limited due to the boss level to only the most max of gear and still a chance of dying and losing what little points you gained, which isn't bad if points were not so limited. So to counter this and make it even worse, you buff the boss to make it stronger and limit even more people from getting anywhere?

Question: Since you made the boss freakishly stronger then it already was, did you improve the drop rate so high levels are not getting 5k for an hours work?

Question: Upper med level players who helped their team have little to no chance at getting anything when points are so badly limited, not good team work if people are left out. Have you made ways to counter this issue and make it fair for all higher levels and not just maxed out players?

Question: Did you add ways to make points other then Herblor which is being the prime point maker in all games?

Question: Why is the Construction Box only worth 100 points to make? That's such a joke amount of points that it's insulting to people like me with 90+ construction, we could make more catching a few low level fish....

If you get good, then you can get decent loots that pay off your supplies. Raids are supposed to be difficult, and I can definitely agree that olm was way too easy after learning the mechanics.

Umm no, he never was easy, he spawns five times and unless you're totally maxed out with the upmost gear worth billions, you wont live throughout all the spawns. Even with Jad you have a chance to live to the end with good gear that's not worth billions and with different varieties of attack styles and levels, while still being freakishly hard yet achievable, and that's solo. This should be no different in terms of being able to kill it. No I'm not saying it should be easy or without a team, but it should definitely be manageable and rewarding, right now it's neither of those and it's losing popularity due to it.

I should also note, alot of the people living through the battles each round are doing so by vulturing the brews of fallen comrades in order to survive ( before the buff )

The incompetence of your poll system cost us dearly. Big round of applause to all those who made Dragon Claws & Twisted Bow possible, but if you nerf the bow raids are next to worthless.

Every reward is niche. So much so that they're borderline useless. Once prayer scrolls become GE fodder...that's it. Pack it in.

By far the most fun PvM update to date in Old School, but the rewards are garbage. This game will never progress when every single poll becomes a popular YouTuber war rallying support for the item to pass. And to that, I say pull your head out of your asses guys.

I mean it in no offence, but rather in concern. I feel like we could've had something better. Hell, even if you guys made the Elder Maul identical to Chaotic it'd feel a step in the right direction. Take the lesson and use it for next raid in 2020 or whatever year it'll be when I am long gone.

Poll nerfing the twisted bow or just do it without a poll like the ballista update...I mean 90's on bosses come on jagex? What happens when these bows are 50m and all the fun and difficulty of pre-raids bosses is gone. The rigour prayer is too much as well but just by a little bit it should be lowered 5%ish maybe a ranged damage % of 18%?

Honestly I just don't enjoy raids as an activity itself it's very non-runescape with how it plays and feels, it's like pushing the limitations of the mechanics and how much input a person is capable of....seems like some runescape 3 type content not old school. I mean that sincerely even if rewards weren't anything special I'd rather have seen these bosses added as single updates over the course of a year or 2 and have a drop table...and no mining rocks or feeding larvae or timing olm hands dodging 20 different attacks it's so annoying same as abyssal sire and skotizo where you can't just hit the boss you make us run around the area weakening it and it kills all the fun for me... Just classic back and forth damage and eating like dk's or gwd is a tried and tested system for this game.

I like how Rigour and Augury haven't changed. Keeping these prayer scrolls expensive keeps people staying at raids. It's also been a great money sink.

It's not a money sink. I get moody during that time of the month. You know, with the full moon and all.

Was the 'invisible wall' bug fixed?

----

If you went to a new area and started killing enemies, and your clan-members died...

when he/she tried running back from the entrance - there would be an invisible barrier

where they wouldn't be able to get back to where you were at. My alias is

The prayer scrolls are way too rare. As if having a higher level requirement than their melee counterpart wasn't enough, rigour and augury are locked behind obscenely expensive drops. The bow itself isn't too OP in theory, but the magic levels on some bosses needs to be re-evaluated. For example, why does Graardor have 280 magic? This dumb brute who can't recite any incantations and fights with his fists is more of a grand wizard than K'ril? It makes no sense for this obviously melee-based boss to be so resistant to magic and so cripplingly weak to the twisted bow.
