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 .


If there wasn't any problems with it there would have been no negative reaction nor the need to 'fix the fixes'. This situation is messy and unprofessional. And the principle behind their actions has resulted in losing trust from the playerbase.

Maybe you weren't around to witness exactly how RS3 got rekt. If you were, you'd be angry about this too.

Nerfing normal void to 10% is ok for pvm
Nerfing Elite void for 12.5% for pvm is ok.
make pvm and pvp void
Normal range void in pvp 15% bonus
Elite Void range for pvp 20% bonus like it was
Mage Void normal for 10% dmg bonus in pvp
Mage Void elite 15% dmg bonus in pvp


Serp Helm make it +4 str and let it protects you from venom / poison

Zulrah drops should be nerfed in my opinion.

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.


Agreed, Jagex really should listen to people on twitter more often.
The fact that they nerfed an item that was far from OP and then quickly try to fix it shows that these things weren't thought through really well and just made high-tier pvm more unbalanced.
A more normal solution would be if they'd remove the serp helm's strength bonus and bring back the original venom effect.


I'd be happy with that change too :)

Serp Helm:

All I'd Say About Serp Helm Is Make The Chance At Venom Also Available Whilst Ranging.

Void/Elite Void Changes

Why Did It Take You So Long To Choose To Change Something, That Has Never Been An Issue.

Zulrah Nerf:

The Drop Decreases Are Far Too Aggressive I Don't Think Enough Thought Has Been Put Into It At All.
