Edited out.

Updated viewpoint in another post.

OSRS Mage Tank.

Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

I'm not alone in saying that I'm not happy about this and you've just cost yourself a hell load of pure pkers that you obviously don't care about. Wish you'd never proposed this in the first place. Absolute let down.

Fix your ridiculously broken voting system.
1) a majority out of 100 is 66%/67% NOT 75%
2) how can you have level 30s/40s/Mains voting for something on the rev caves/ exp lamps when they're just going to vote no out of spite cause they'll never use them?
3) how comes you poll somethings, but then just add other things without even proposing them first? It seems like you don't actually want them added to the game.

And inb4 its all about mains and pvmer blah blah blah, I have a main I do PVM i do everything regarding that, but I've lost 40m+ exp on a pure due to 300exp that I can't take away and the fix was right there, and now it will never be. :/

Yh seems like pures got left behind once again, 2 bad salty mains could vote on it and the true reality is really yeah the 71% was seriously enought to see how many pures truely need this update ,but some people just out of spite voted NO for it because they have no use to it which is really sad tbh.

New god capes look very nice indeed, unfortunately the way you get them felt very rushed and was very underwhelming, especially if you consider other bis cape slot items. For melee bis cape, there is Inferno and for range bis cape slot there will be the hardest quest so far, Dragon slayer II and a new dragon boss. For bis magic capes; 75 magic requirement, casting 100 casts of each god spell, running about a bit in the wilderness and killing 3 different very annoying and not really challenging recoloured greater demons.

It would have been better had you just made a new arena downstairs mage bank, with a challenging and interesting boss fight or fight sequence like inferno.

A couple questions: what happens if you die with a max version of the capes?

Would you consider adding prayer bonus (+3) to the new capes and +1 to old capes? I've always found it weird that god capes have no prayer bonuses at all.

Second every word of this - weird that god capes dont have any prayer bonus, specially since all the other BIS capes have - also for barraging the new cape might actually lose out to the ArdyCloaks since they got so much more prayer :thinking:

What a huge disappointment, voting system failure and to top it off the release we get is broken lore and nothing but recolors. The saradomin cape has the infernal capes' shape and is an obvious recolor, you put the demons under gods they don't worship so on your end that's a silly mistake considering it's been driven into both games many times.... But it's just ridiculous and seems sloppy, being recolors and after how many years mage arena has been into the game, there didn't seem to be much thought into MA2.

If you're going to try to keep the game alive, make important decisions Jagex. The system we have is broken and is leading into the reasons why we had to implement the EoC in the first place, which is why things like PvP armours get downvoted yet you weirdly produce a cape with a slow creep of power into the cape slot with the damage boost, as the people above say theres no prayer bonus associated with gods which is weird and it seems after the update the cape simply is unnecessary to begin with, in my opinion. The previous capes were just fine, if anything a small buff to them with a secondary release inside the mage arena would have made much more sense.

It seems you rushed this to get people to run around the wilderness and get killed by people in mystic feasting over rune stack loots, rather than REJUVINATE it. The players obtaining their capes are doing just that; obtaining the cape. It's an annoyance and yes while it's the wilderness, if you keep releasing negative effect activities on people it's not going to rejuvinate anything.
Broken and disappointing. Simple as.

you spoilt rev cave.. the quests on the poll passed people wanted all them things in the rev cave and you've only put like two fucking thing in it that's the scroll and bracelet... there worthless to people and the game in general.. it should be win by vote, example lamp was 71.2 percent pass.. what a joke that means the higher majority wanted it you fools so put it in and stop listening to the minor majority! either add the things in with new update. or also change the polling system because its awful. first time posting anything on this but had to do this because its been spoilt. add the things people voted for in the poll. the things that had more than 50percent (no) then maybe that shouldn't be added but none of them did. so what the fuck you doing.

i don't see the point in Revenants. Do they have really good standard drops if not any of the equipment? If not they are basically dead content to me when i get the crystals needed to build obelisk in house.

Another thing i don't get is why do the -xp lamps even need to be polled? them not passing is only shitting on pures that messed up. I don't have a single pure so i don't care about it but is stupid.

i hate this polling system is just stupid and holding updates back. i think the dev team has a good idea what is good and bad for the game.

All i can say is game integrity my ass, i really didn't think my favorite piece of content that has happened to runescape could be made so bad that i would hate it, congratulations i guess...

Since this will probably be hidden unless i give real feedback here it is

Whole revenant models look like a cheap rip-off (You really couldn't take a few days work to remake previous models so you just recolor them really?)
The cave design is terrible (why even change something that isn't broken in the first place)
The drop table looks like it took 10minutes to balance, could of just made it drops coins, because that's exactly the same thing

To sum it up, it looks like a cheap runescape private server, most disappointing piece of content i ever saw. If i knew it was like this i would of never voted for it

If the quality of updates stays this way, i don't think osrs will last long

I really like the way the revenants look, the cave is also very well designed. It's nice to have some escape routes

The thing i don't like is that the drop table is so random and weird....
Neither is there a single drop to get hyped for to get, because all you get are supplies/alchables....

It's really a downer that such iconic NPC's get a drop table just like gargoyles/nechraeyls/Kraken/zulrah/raids/...... Nothing special.

Is there a chance that new unique rewards might get added to the revenants drop table?

I think that people now noticed that killing revenants isn't the same without those unique high rewarding drops you spend hours of searching on.....

What a lazy job, recolouring the fire cape, recolouring greater demons!!!! A saradomin demon!

We waited 15 years for the new best-in-slot magic cape, we could wait a few more weeks for a better design.

I know from the streams Mod Ghost and Mod West are very hard working and probably didn't have the time enough for a better design. This was on whoever decided that the update was supposed to be today and not next week or the other.

Updates are important stuff, if you start treating them without care you know how it may end up.

Very disappointed!
