As it was said before by others, the Barbarian Assault 'nerf' on the blowpipe is so extreme.

The people who play it actively aim for things doing 'speed runs', this makes it more enjoyable.
There are other things you could of done instead of taking the 'easy' way out of this and removing it altogether.

As Dawn suggested adding darts to the dispenser. (this is literally no different than arrow switching so why ask for a style change??)

I think its sad you didn't allow more clans to enter the PvP championship. Theres more clans like AF, Brut, VNG, FSK etc that can put up a decent team and fight. You only pick the streamers/players/clans you know people in all the rest gets ignored why would we even bother turning in a request to enter.

I totally agree, its all for archies fanbois nobody else gets a chance or cares, also the 5v5 and 20vs20 was a totally failure
Now we getting this wildy wars at the NEC, 99.9% of osrs don't care and look at the generals all fanbois who tbh are pretty awful.
Lets hope when we get the PVM championship we all on a level playing field and hopefully we get pvm where twisted bow is useless because not all normal pvmers have access to the likes of twisted bow
Also lets hope the fanbois dont get any favoritism like with the dead inferno as that's unfair the the rest of the osrs player base.

the main difference here would be that the arrows/darts/universal ammo would be used instead of the in-blowpipe ammunition, and an accumulator like function added so that the blowpipe becomes a more legitimate method

It's kinda inevitable that if a bug is beneficial, it'll affect the convenience or speed... but we can't realistically preserve every bug for fear of invalidating records that players had previously noted for themselves. People keep records of many many things.

Switching the kind of dart inside a blowpipe is not as convenient as one might wish. Perhaps that could be improved, then Dawn's idea would work even better.

and if that doesn't work, with what mod ash suggested to make it more convenient to swap ammo from the blowpipe - maybe a right click option on darts to add to blowpipe & remove the current ones would be a convenient method? - this would effect more than just barbarian assault potentially

Where is the fix on Worlds 308 and 325?
Mod Ash said :
There've been attempts already; if one works, we'll be happy to confirm it.

Thanks for your reply :)

Edit:

But what do you guys think could be the main problem of this happening to mostly northern european players? It's been over 2 weeks now :o

Also I don't like using a VPN because it slows down your internet speed which'll make it like i'm pking on a USA server.. I'll pass for that haha :p

Happy to hear from you. Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.

It would be pretty easy if you have more than one blowpipe, which I'm sure most of the BA community does. If not they could more than likely afford to have 2.


edit: Meant to be a qoute/reply to mod ash

Absolutely no idea; that's why it's been the engine & sysadmin teams looking into it rather than me. Sorry.

What i meant was a click option to equip the darts into the blowpipe the same way arrows are equip but make it a BA specific option?
It'd be possible to make the Wield option on darts switch them with whatever's inside your blowpipe if you clicked it while you already had a blowpipe equipped. Which wouldn't have to be BA-specific either.

How does this "bug" harm you in any way? We didn't really abuse anything in the game, all you're doing is killing a minigame for the community.
I thought you wanted to get minigames to be played, not to kill the minigames for people that enjoy them....
