If Ancient Warrior equipment doesn't pass this should be polled.

Instead of adding Ancient warrior's items, like Morrigan/Statius/Vesta which we do not have the graphics for, we should fill out the whole dragon tier instead. It would be much simpler to recolour rune items into the dragon scheme (red and dark grey). Not even RS3 has added all dragon tier items to the game.

We can just add Dragon Throwing axes/Javelin's to function as Morrigan's weapons, with it's special attack but with reduced stats, released through a new impling.

Statius's Warhammer can be Dragon warhammer with it's special stats and reduced stats. Released through possibly a new slayer monster (dwarf) that drops it.

Vesta's spear can be the Dragon Hasta with it's special and reduced stats, released through a new metal dragon.
Vesta's longsword can be the Dragon Shortsword with it's special and reduced stats, released through Shades of Mort'on Gold Chests.

The two problems with this is that one: the armor's are not introduced, yet they were never used in the first place because they degraded into dust and GWD is already releasing new armor so we don't really need it in the first place. Two: Zuriel's staff can't be added through changing ancient warrior weapons into Dragon. Though to compensate for the loss of misamic spells and the staff, we can just add magic damage on magic potions that was released with the overload update and add magic damage on the Black mask (i).

Also as an unrelated note, what I would like to see in OSRS is skilling content rather than constant combat updates. What the OSRS team has released so far were only small tweaks to skilling instead of new content like ZMI altar, or Advanced agility courses. Also, a rehaul on every mini-game would make those dead mini-games more popular. The new impling that gives dragon javelins/throwing axes, and the Dragon shortsword released with Shades of Mort'ton.

I hate to sound rude, but this is probably the fifth time you've posted your dragon alternative to ancient equipment. :|

''When awarding extra rewards to "successful" PKers, it is necessary to avoid players killing each other repeatedly to farm the rewards.''

Why do pkers need 'extra rewards' for being 'successful'? Don't they get what their 'prey' drops? You need to bribe them to pk? Why would you do that?

I thought the purpose of pvp worlds was to bring in MORE prey for the pkers?

'We may need to offer some incentive for people to visit PvP worlds as prey for the PvP enthusiasts.' that's what the devblog says...

So.. you're offering ''extra rewards'' for pkers to pvp, and because they don't have enough 'prey' (people that participate in pvp) you're also wanting to offer 'some incentive' for players who wouldn't otherwise pvp to play on those worlds?

Currently, there's 376 people in your f2p themed worlds (that's 108 in one and 268 in the other). Are there really that many more pkers that you need to provide 2 more worlds (such that you need to give them extra rewards and bribe others to become their prey)?

While I can't, in all honesty, vote no to 'everything' in this poll (purple dots, bank pin) I can see voting no to everything pvp related.

You're catering to what appears to be a small group, at the expense of the game as a whole and adding in ANY 'bonus xp' can end up nothing but detrimental to the game.

1. its f2p
2. its just pures right now... just saying...

pures go out at 4pm est, then mains go out anywhere from 5-6. thats why i gave you the range. and not all main clans go out.

Getting the lvl 78 gear from killing players will definitely be abused...

What do you think about adding revenants that spawn in random places in PvP worlds which would drop the gear and brawling gloves? And the brawling gloves should only work in PvP worlds imo (anywhere, not just in the wildy). Would be much better than the 15% xp boost.

Also could you make all untradeable items disappear or turn into coins when lost on death? I don't wanna see people in void/str ammy/ags/climbing boots rushing people with 1k risk and hitting 75s camping near respawn points to get their stuff back easily

And having only 1 PvP world would be definitely enough (or 2 if the other is f2p) because there's so small amount of pkers in the wildy currently.


Jagex, this please... I've seen several other people quoting tommy in the first couple pages. It speaks truth.

-I want pvp Worlds, just because you may get Vesta's armours
- I'm completely disagree with T o m m i . It will make Pvp Worlds more bored.
-And I don't want to lose my void in Pvp. Only will cause more people quit.

Now if we were going to bring back PVP world's would we also be able to bring back bounty Hunter +1 world's those were lots of fun for low level purest and could have no worry about having prayer. I know that I really liked them and didn't know if anyone else felt the same

Pvp worlds were characterized by having pj timers. It would be pretty strange to do a complete turnaround on that and not even ask if players want them

imo it's part of what sets the wilderness and pvp worlds apart. That's why it might have seemed like pj timers weren't popular in earlier polls, because players feel they belong in pvp worlds - not the wilderness.

Could we possibly have an update to release Ornamental Kits for Dragon Armour such as gold trim/spikes?

This would make dragon still "wearable" after gwd release and stop it's price from crashing into oblivion.

Just a fun update that helps the economy and cluers :)

P.S

The Fury Kit was also awesome :D

That would be the third time kiddo, if you could learn to count.

"I hate to sound rude" pretty much says you like to post rude statements on the forums because you are an arrogant, pretentious kid. I wasn't asking for your approval, so mind your business.

It's a suggestion for an alternative that Ash was asking for so I'd like to see his response. I've received none yet.

Tbh, with items as complicated as those, we thought it might be simplest to start from something familiar. If they come out unpopular, we can work towards something more suitable.


I'm voting no to everything regarding PvP worlds.
