This has to be one of the worst updates. My account as never even killed Zulrah and I feel that this was a little unnecessary. I can understand the Void nerf, that's fine, but the serpentine helm? Its useless now. I was very very excited to get one. Now its absolutely pointless. Neitiznot is best in slot now? Cmon. Keep Venon just lower damage rate.

The nerfs to zulrah i can understand, even the nerf to void i can understand because i agree that it was too powerful. BUT the nerf to the serpentine helmet i cannot get behind at all, do the people that nerfed this not realise that it costs scales to run? what is the point in using it over a neitiznot helmet? Because the immunity to poison alone and some defence bonuses definately isnt worth it, not even for a place like dks due to sanfew serum doing the same thing for cheaper without losing an invent space. The nerf to serp feels like a half assed push to get the new bis fremmy helm into the game, i can understand void and zulrah not being polled but i really think serpentine helm changes should have been polled especially when people out there are hunting mutagens at a drop rate of 1/6.5k. This nerf feels like a giant kick in the balls and for people saying its for the longevity of the game i understand and agree with all except the serpentine helm.

nerfing zulrah to the point where there's no point doing for non irons is actually a horrible update. How are you going to make people become used to doing zulra/love doing it in many cases to having to go back to killing outdated bnoring bosses or even fishing sharks if you are an iron, dear god. The incompetency of runescape developers never seems to surprise. From removal of wildy/free trade to eoc, to nerfing a boss 2+ years after it's release.

I agree with the void range nerf, but the fact that I turned my zerk into a barrows pure last week purely because of all the void rangers is quite frustrating

serp helm nerf is ridiculous

map? great whatever

The fact that you didn't poll this just makes me shake my head. Hopefully you guys don't pull something as thoughtless as this in the future, did you forget why old school even exists? I could care less about the changes, the sole fact that you didn't poll them makes me want to puke all over the new Jagex logo even more.

P.S - You guys should be ashamed of yourselves *looks for a jmod post*

these mods must be kidding themselves, barely anyone uses osrs client, adding a map doesn't make any difference since almost 80% of the players are using Osbuddy which had a map for ages.

you nerfed zulrah? well you might as well nerf Raids because i don't think you understand what you have done. Raids release already nerfed zulrah so you just nerf it more?

and the void nerf is completely absurd, that was just plain stupid.

many people will quit because of this update!

“While we don't have an issue with a challenging piece of content being profitable, just how profitable that content may be is something we do need to consider - and we have concluded that Zulrah is too rewarding.”

At last, it seems that they have figured common sense. The fact that they didn’t poll it either was a great sign of acceptance. The OSRS team of Jagex finally understood that they are giving too much power to the community and that they are letting through too much ideas who encourage players to become more and more lazy. Zulrah wasn’t one I had an issue with, but I can easily, using the poll history, list all of the updates who weren’t necessary to OSRS. All of this, is a great step, but it is still baby steps. They’ve taken a decision and investigated something that wasn’t making sense in a way that it was too rewarding because it was too hard. Zulrah’s old drops were the true definition of a Children’s dream life. Little to no chores and only candies for dinner. To the point that maxing a normal account isn’t as much challenging as it used to be, where maxing any of the Ironman tier truly is the only real challenge.
The Void nerf idea is also a good one. Whether or not players like it, it is but a truth that everyone into the PKing community knows deep down, that Void is OP and there is no pride to PK with it.

Did it kill the game? That depends, if you enjoyed over-powered updates but knew they were OP so you hated them at the same time, yes, sorry, OSRS is dead.

Next nerf, shift click. Quit being lazy people. The game was designed without it and players maxed their accounts without it. Just not all of them. This x 100

I litterally had to check the date to make sure it was not april first, while void range is insanely powerful at low lvls that nerf is quite a big hit to pvmers aswell. the zulrah nerf is absolutely insane, while i enjoy not having to do zulrah there is not alot of ways to earn some decent bank. considering you feel like a slave grinding 500k-1m an hour doing something. more people will prob turn to rwting now. also if you wanna do something about all the gold in the game remove the freaking duel arena. that is the only place people need billions to do stuff in your game. look at sparc mac he had 250m start an he won 36b in matter of 10 hours. do you know how long it takes to make 36b legit. as someone who was already contemplating quiting. you now have give me all the more reason to not bother coming back.
