equippable darts in the arrow slot with an accumulator like function added to the attack role would be the only method i could initially think of
Interesting. Or perhaps something involving switching styles?

You're likely correct about that; I remember the rage when we changed the alchemy animation to make it less likely to induce seisures.
As the red/green/yellow colours are fairly standard for OSRS's side-panels - friends, music, diaries, quests, etc. - it'd be reasonable to let players choose alternatives that would be applied to them all. And it shouldn't need engine work.
The minimap dots, unfortunately, would need engine work if we were to try and toggle the colour of those.

someone explain the ammo & rune pouch i dont get it. does this mean you dont need avas accumulator and mage casting returns runes?
It means that if you pick up runes from the ground, and you're carrying a rune pouch that contains some of those runes already, the stuff you pick up will try to go into the rune pouch directly.

Similarly, if you pick up ammo off the ground, and it can stack with ammo that's already in your quiver or blowpipe or bolt pouch, it'll try to go there directly.

It has no effect whatsoever on how much ammo or how many runes are consumed by your combat.

that would work aswell, but that would be a bit more difficult to the nature of accurate & longrange for the speed with blowpipe, if you could make a function in ba where the attack styles would be the same rapid speed that would work equally as well.

Maybe having a universal ammunition that is used by all range weapons (with an accumulator like function added) and thats swapped out depending on call. currently range is so important in barbarian assault due to the attackers aggroing the healers, range allows us to keep out of healer aggro range, so its necessary for the faster runs which the ba community strives for

maybe you could pop into the casual ba friend chat and have a chat with us regarding the update, i'm sure some others have their own ideas too

If it doesn't require much, i'd sure love to have that feature!
The minimap dots i have no problems with... unless there is green dots.. then there might be slight problem there, LOL

Maybe it doesnt seem that big , the BP nerf in BA is huge for the active BA community. While the healer,defender and even collector rule involve some kind of fun strategies to get fast times , attacker roles is now just made into "hit things until they die". The blowpipe in combination with crystal bow and chins made it into a skillful and fun role to play. I agree it wasnt intended to be in the game, it still didnt hurt anybody since it was expensive to use and you dont get any exp in BA. Thats why I find this update painfully unnecessary.

My suggestion:

add ancients to work inside BA. It has 4 different styles , has the AoE effect to get fast times and just overall more fun to use then plain melee.

Yes, we would very much appreciate it if you came into Casual Ba friend chat, I wonder, do you know the mechanics of the healers and why it's important to us to be able to use range in barbarian assault?
