I personally have been playing Runescape since 2005 and for better or worse have stuck around through all the good and bad times but I think this is one of those bad times. The slayer cave had everything you ever needed (minus a few monsters) to train and conveniently bank on one of the slowest skills in the game. the slayer cave to begin with was one of the best updates and served one of the best purposes on Old School itself, maybe even all of Runescape. With this cave split up like this I can see there being a big drop off is people actually utilizing the slayer skill or even slaying at all. Personally I have been slaying for a couple weeks now trying to level up high enough for some of the bosses/demi-bosses but with this update I think I will give it a break for quite some time and focus more on my non combat skills and diaries.

But who am i to say what is right or wrong, just voicing my opinion is all.

Concerned long time player, BabyDragon :)

20 minutes of every hour? Duuuude! Learn the map for cryin' out loud. It doesn't take 20 mins to visit nearly every bit of the map with all the tele's available.

OMG what ever did we do back in the day when there was no Nieve's cave... if you were here back then, you'd already know what we did.. and it wasn't cryin' because they pulled an easyscape button outta the game.

They just restored some respect to the slayer cape, IMO and kudos to them for doing so.

How does this restore respect to the slayer cape? Everyone that has it right now got it the easy way and anyone that gets it the future will have gained a large % of xp the same way.

Since you seem to want to talk about the old days so much.

Canafis to slayer tower was the only running around I ever did originally, attacking npcs with my dragon scimitar and rune armour, cooking gaunlets, etc. Kurasks and Turoth tasks were skipped because the leaf bladed spear was useless, dragon tasks were always skipped by going to buthorpe to replace them with 50 bats and the like because they simply made the skill an inefficient waste of time.

I can guarantee you 90% of my xp came from the slayer tower between bloodvelds and abby demons, anything else was rejected as time wasting which you had to do to gain 100k+ xp a day back then.

We have upgrades for every Armour slot since then, whip, barrows, godswords, defenders, etc didn't exist when slayer came out and of course we couldn't cannon a single slayer monster, but lets rave on about the cape being more respectable because you have to run a little bit between tasks.

Metal drags will now be a 5k an hour tasks if you want to do them and bank bones, blue dragons will be worse. All this update will serve to do is make me reject more and more tasks in chase of better xp rate tasks, instead of diversifying it will become much more focused, killing 5 npcs where i once would have killed 20.

Great update team! I love bringing the original feel of slayer back where we have to travel all over the map to kill creatures.

Thank you for putting in the time to make distances about equal if not faster to reach than Nieve's cave (and with more spawns now). People clearly don't understand that there are other teleports outside of the slayer ring that will get you to these new caves i.e. fairy rings.

Keep up the great content and don't listen to the lazy people that can't learn what a fairy ring is.

Completely agree. This ruins the bit of the game i cared about... seems like every update steers osrs into the direction of eoc, WHICH WAS A HORRIBLE FAILURE REMEMBER JAGEX?

osrs barely has its own code & ideas that was'nt ripped off another mmorpg or eoc. When will we see something only on osrs for osrs??

Now im eagerly awaiting "Osrs black and white" or something similar that will be osrs without updates like they originally said osrs will be.

Guess us veterans will ride out another storm, and watch another version be ruined due to updates
Please explain to me, in detail, how making Slayer less reliant on a rip-off of Kuradal's Dungeon is moving the game towards RS3 and away from OSRS.

That's like saying the game is at risk of becoming RS3 unless Summoning is added; it doesn't make even the most remote amount of sense.

I'll explain it for you. You simply don't tell somebody "hey here's an efficient way to train your slayer to 99 have at it" and then tell them three years later after everyone has already gotten high slayer levels conveniently from Nieve's cave "lol sorry kids we're gonna go ahead and make this less efficient for people who have been consistently and conveniently training slayer in Nieve's cave. hahaha we really want you to waste time walking around and exploring the map that you've probably already seen for 10+ years"

It's not so much that its literally headed towards rs3, but its the mindset rs2 had when becoming rs3. Setting people back after giving them so much, making things less efficient so that its "challenging"... It's a huge slap in the face to people who are going to be training slayer in the future, knowing that players in the past have been given the privilege of training in Nieve's cave so efficiently. You just don't do that to people.

It's only really a slap in the face to the instant gratification crowd.. which, IMO, is what put the original game on the fast track to hell so no harm no foul.

Your complaint seems to boil down to.. other peeps had it easier than I did so that's not fair, waahh!! "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Pointless update. I'm glad the OS team is wasting time on moving slayer monsters and bosses around rather than focusing on creating new content.

Absolute waste of time. Whats diverse about this? We can still just go to the catacombs for EVERY task! Again, pointless update in every way.

REPOLL!

Also, where are the Tasaakal? Are we just going to waste time making pointless updates or finally move on to some exciting updates that were discussed years ago and seem to be nowhere close to fruition?

Thanks,
Whip
