been playing a ironman for nearly 2 years now, 2090 total level and with a single update you have just destroyed all motivation i have to play this game, all of my sharks for all the end game content where funded by zulrah, not fishing for 80 sharks an hour, subscription will not be renewed, great job again jagex!

This was a fantastic update, Zulrah needed a nerf as it was bringing way too much gold into the game, Void range was too powerful and it made high level range armour such as armadyl useless, and the serpentine helm allowed defence pures to inflict high damage pking on 1 defence pures while having 1 attack and strength. The world map is awesome too :)

Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

bad update

Could have left the void damage at 20% for pvm at least. Having said that you are affecting alot of peoples accounts that were made just for void pking. Maybe ballista could have been adjusted?

never done zulrah but was working towards it, dont think it will be worth while now

Also i can see how this will have a huge impact on iron men .......

If you wanted to make void less OP at wilderness, you could just debuff it AT wilderness. Not everywhere. Or just let the elite keep it's bonus as it should be, since elite void costs 400 extra points + hard diary. Void has other uses than PKing.

Also, Zulrah drop table seems a mess, now. I AM a fan of reducing the value you can get there. 30% seems reasonable, but why change the drop table that much? Why not instead of 100 magic logs, just let it drop about 50 - 60? I am ok with changing RAW sharks for COOKED manta rays, but 100 for 35, really? Put at least 50.

Serpentine helmet will now be used for what? Thieving at pyramid plunder? And it STILL NEEDS Zulrah's Scales?(Buying all serpentine helms - 100k each, btw)

I agree totally with the karamja gloves update. That created cash, it's not cash moving around, it's just "coming from nowhere". Thanks for that one.

The map seems great. Well done!!!

Please, I ask of you not to just shove these bad updates onto our throats. That's what they did with EoC/RS3. And that game is just plain garbage now.

are you high? If you have 99 range, elite void, spend 120m on rigour and are using dragon javelins why shouldn't you be able to hit 60s? thats atleast a couple hundred hours spent to achieve that point. (you can't hit 80s w/ heavy ballista dont try that idiocy here)

I love the arguement of "I have a life, The game is nothing without Zulrah, Void and Serp". Sorry to be insulting here but if these chages effect you so much, your life must not be very enjoyable. Runescape is an MMORPG. It's a GRIND. Sorry that all your silver cutlery and crystal challices have been taken away. Not everything is given on a silver plate. The game is made to be enjoyable as a side to what you do for a living, wether a student or full time businessman. If these changes bother you so much then maybe your playing the wrong game.

Was Zulrahs drop table a little too generous? Definately.
Is Void Range now ruined? Depends if you value time grind over money grind.
Was Serpentine Helm nerf needed? Probobly not.

Another arguement, "OSRS is becoming like RS3". Really? How?
Lets take Zulrah.. A aingle boss with a very generous drop table. A bit too generous. Sure, it takes some skill and stats to effieicnetly kill and farm but can be very beneficial to those who put the effort in.
Now lets take Arraxor as an example. A single boss with a very generous drop table. A bit too generous. Sure, it taks some skill and stats to effiecient kill and farm but can be very beneficial to those who put the effort in.

Now sure, I was looking forward to making a bit of extra money at Zulrah now that I have a bit of spare time of my hands. Am i bothered that I cant now? Of course not. I got by before and i'll still get by. I'll enjoy my playing style today just as much as I did 4 hours ago.

As for Ironmen. You knew what you was getting into. Adjust.
