Here are WARMOG's opinions.

-Dont change the dragon boot system
-Add the system where it announces the rare GWD loots.
-Include the PJ Timer of 10 seconds, not only after victorious in a fight. But during the fight also.
-Keep AGS special bar 50% :P
-Dont Un-note the addy bars dropped from aviansies. its a steady money making method for people who have worked hard at the Requirements it takes to get there.

I think a dozen people should be posting about how nice it is to see a massive reduction in the number of bots in game.

I remember when you said bots were your number one priority back at the chicken suit Q&A in Varrok square w330.

mod ash bot crushing level is 99!



@mod ash, Can you share any insight with us on how you smashed the 07 bots?

Would it be possible to limit the 2h stance and animations ONLY to Godswords, and preserve the Dragon 2h and Rune 2h current appearance?
I believe that will be possible, and it's what we'll try to do if the GWD passes its poll. Can't be 100% sure until we've tried implementing it and testing it, which is why I've not tried to specify it in the blog.

alot of people are afraid that the 10second pj timer will apply in multi thus severely changing multi fights because of the immunity. please clarify whether it is only for single/multi, and if you can attack while immune.
I'll check with my colleagues after the weekend, but the answer's probably going to be something like this:
- single-way only
- if you attack while immune, you lose the immunity.
That's not confirmed, though.

would it be possible to combine all 4 godswords together to create the "confused godsword" that will have the same stats as a normal godsword.

Having said that here is the run down of the spec

It activates a 10x10 square like the d2h and everything it hits gets has the hit multiplied by your strength level.

My major concern with Godswords in general is that they are just that. God swords. Being as such, these are incredibly powerful weapons with no further requirement than 75 attack. I do not believe it is in OSRS's best interest to release such powerful weapons with no further requirements (if purchased, rather than earned.) Instead, I would like to see something along the lines of additional requirements or stats in order to wield the Godsword/equivalent GWD drop. Or alternatively, one must actually fight the boss to obtain one untradeable piece of the sword, and buy the other piece from a player or PvM it themselves. RWTers do unfortunately exist, and these Godswords greatly increase the value of cash/arguably devalue other training and completing quests.

As a quick analogy, the Barrelchest anchor requires a series of quests to wield, however the Godsword merely requires 75 attack. I suppose a counter argument to this is that Barrows Equipment is of a high caliber and only requires level 70 stats, but for those you also need 70 def/attack if you want the full effect.

At a minimum, I would suggest that in order to wear the GWD drops (save for dragon boots), one must have the appropriate stats to enter GWD and that boss. I would very much enjoy seeing something to this effect being polled.

I'm still on the fence about voting yes/no to GWD. I'm leaning more and more toward yes everyday, but my main concerns are balance, and whether or not further polls will be issued in a timely manner without severe consequences for the economy and PvP/PvM communities in game.

Lastly, I'd like to throw in my support for 65% spec across all Godswords being polled, rather than the proposed 60%.

I greatly appreciate all the thought and work that has gone in to this from the OSRS Jagex team, and am very very impressed by your customer service and community involvement. I wish RS3 players could enjoy the same level of community integration for content updates as we do. :P

Ash, the pj timer is a stupid idea, the pk community doesn't want it

Hmm, funny there's a thread in feedback where several people mention wanting it. Good thing a poll exists! "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero"

Thanks for making adamant bars unnoted. This was my main concern - not anymore <3

One thing: If the poll fails, what will happen? Did you say you'd look into why it failed and offer an alternative GWD? If this is the case, I think you should mention it. Or will GWD be forgotten for good if the poll fails? I think you should mention that too. In the poll itself.

I think it's important because it will affect how people vote. If they know this is the only vote, more people will be willing to compromise, voting yes (even if they think original GWD isn't the best option). If they know alternatives will be offered later, more people will vote no for the original one (those who think it's not the best option).

But thanks again. If people complain about addy bars, it's understandable - no easy money for them - but please don't take them too seriously. I'm sure you did the correct decision.
