I'm still not okay with any of these changes. You guys have no regard for your player base. Just change everything back to the way it was; there's a reason everyone is complaining.I thought you listened to the community, but I guess not.

I feel now would be a great time to introduce void boots and require the set to only use 4 items. this will add variety for alot of things and help balance things


mage void needs to have a higher magic accuracy bonus %

currently its less than full mystic

Maybe discuss these ideas publically before implementing them in future. This whole idea of releasing unpolled changes and seeing how the community reacts, then correcting the mistakes, seems unprofessional and disrespectful. We're not guinea pigs
At least they reacted. It was a long overdue update. Be happy they brought some of it back.

I thank god they did react, that was more than they did in RS3 days. But even so, this whole circus of events was avoidable and unprofessional.
It has only been a circus because of the loud minority(iron men and pures). Granted it was a lot at once, but the reaction from those affected is insane. The items and boss weren't removed, they were lowered. It's like complaining that the d chain was devalued by fighter torso and bcp .

Would you consider making a new tier of void armour, master void armour?

Master void would require completing elite western diaries and purchasing it for another extra 200 points/ piece. Equipping it would require 75 prayer, 75 attack, 75 magic and 75 ranged. Armour boosts would be 15% for melee accuracy and dmg, 15% for ranged acc and dmg, and enough magic accuracy for magic helm that it would be equivalent to ahrim's at lvl 99 magic.

Elite void would stay as it is with its prayer bonus and would be coloured the old green theme.

no reason to buff void mage. We have ancestral for that.

"We are also aware that the community have felt that the Magic Void set simply isn't worth using. We definitely agree, and we are open to discussing improvements to this set - if you have suggestions, be sure to send them our way!"

^ From the very update post this discussion is for.

yes. so maybe something other than a stat buff. if they buff void mage's damage, then ancestral becomes dead content. why cant people just follow the progression on MMORPGS? when you make new content, old content dies. When they released ancestral, void mage died. accept that. when they make better items, the old ones become obsolete.

Not true. Currently, ancestral and tormented bracelet holds a +11% damage increase, like I said in my original post. it also brings a +79 magic attack bonus.
The change I proposed would give void a damage or accuracy bonus, but not both. Let's say they added +5% (+7.5% for elite) damage bonus to void mage. It's still not no where near as good as ancestral, especially since elite void carries +0 magic attack bonus. And considering people pay over 22m for just a few stat points with items like prims that are BiS, This change should in no way devalue Ancestral.

Also, Not to mention that void mage has been dead content since release, ancestral didnt kill void mage, it has always been significantly underwhelming as even mystic gives better stat bonuses.

You've asked for suggestions on things like magic void and fishing sharks but you have adjusted Serpentine helm to something you feel fits the game but the community is rather divided on.

The Serpentine helm was useful for Saradomin and Bandos solo's and the changes that have been proposed change nothing in this regard. Some people consider the Serpentine to be OP at these places and I can assure you the same number of kills are attainable with a Verac's helmet, the use for Serpentine is to kill the minions within enough time.

How long must the community that reaches out with suggestions be ignored in place of Reddit?

Just because Twitter has a 140 character limit and people write an entire thesis on Reddit doesn't automatically qualify them as experts to direct the game in the way they believe it should be taken; furthermore this change was made after a single day of arguable no deliberation. Elite Void range seems a suitable change but the Serpentine helmet fix sounds more like a rushed move in order to quiet the Runescape mob that was rioting in W2 with their Dwarf Cannons and retribution prayers than actually hearing the voices of the players and fixing those issues at hand.

I agree 100% with this statement.

You guys nerf things based on what a little percentage of the player base wants (reddit). I get the reason 'why' you'd want the Serpentine Helm nerfed but let me tell you what was wrong with nerfing it right now.

You currently have NO replacement ready for the serpentine helm, you say you nerfed it because it's hard to introduce new helmets without power creep. Let me give you a piece of advise, nerf items WHEN you're ready to replace them with something better. Not when it's on par with a 40k helmet now from a quest. Also the 'passive' venoming from getting attacked wasn't even that overpowered, it helped high level PvMers and IM effectively solo Bandos and Saradomin which you ruined now.
