Has anyone here actually gotten a "survey"? no one i know got one, seems suspicious....

Anyway, my thoughts...

A new skill could always be fun but this is not the skill. Think about crafting and smithing, no combat necessary to train them. the fact it will change the meta as a production skill is kind of stupid. You say you dont want to take away from what players have done then let people keep their imbued rings, players put time and effort into making them and now you wanna take that away? i like the concept of magic gear upgrades, keep it at that magic needs some new updates to keep up with range and melee. i also like the idea of using armors to basically make new things to train the skill is also a cool concept and is like high alch without the gp return (would be good for economy). Also this takes away the BIS with ancestral robes, so theres that.

This will be a hard no from me unless some major changes are made.d

117 - "No" votes and "Hard No" votes

35 - Neutral comments, comments that didn't supply an opinion, or comments that simply asked questions

33 - "Yes" votes (often saying to 'ignore the poll results and do it anyway'), and people that would vote "Yes" if conjuring, EoC, and other things were omitted

185 total replies

There is a graph attached that shows these results.

Thanks!

That's a terrible way to decide anything. If they want hear real opinion of whole playerbase then they should poll in game. Who do you think uses forums? Either those who are enthusiastic or those who hate the idea. It's clear that more people are hating this on forums than loving it.

Hi, this is nothing to do with this thread, but i was searching the osrs page trying to find a way to contact a member of the osrs team. i wanted to confirm whether im able to have an alt account on ordinary osrs game mode which i give cash from my main account too. obviously as im asking im already doing this... and im hoping it is okay .

i believe that is okay and have done for some time( as obviously, well at least i think it used to not be allowed back in the day..?) . the reason i wanted to confirm if this is okay is because i recently checked my accounts status out of curriosity as i have become much more committed to the game and my accounts. I saw my old offences on this account. whilst it was funny as i was young and cant believe the things i did/said were actually me(ofc it was.... :L ... :/). it has made me more aware of what can i do and what cant i do.

Obviously i would have preferred to private message this to you guys but i could not figure out how to and i am happy with this has being said publicly . but could you message me be back into my account emails, or in game or on here to let me know if this is within the rules of the game

cheers (y)

No.

Listen to your players. Stop being stubborn. Pre-eoc was voted no, and yet you still did it. Lost most of your players. Now rs3 is barely even played by anybody. So you guys brought back osrs in hope to recover from that massive loss. It worked, big active community. Polling every and single update, which is great. Now what I dont understand is why you dont poll warding and assume every players want it badly. Don't ruin the game again by doing what YOU think is right. I swear i'm not starting all over again if you fk up osrs and launch another rs version. It worked once, but trust me it wont work twice. There are plenty of great games out there, as much as I love osrs, no freaking way i'm starting from tutorial island again... and so most of the current players.

just plain NO to the new skill. but i am ok with the proposed items for the most part and ideas. but i would like them added to existing skills such as runecrafting/ magic/ and crafting.
runecrafting is one of the least fleshed out skills in game. here's the opportunity to buff magic and "the worst skill"

Nope. Sailing already failed it's poll before.

Also, I see a lot of ungrateful players here who just don't want change in osrs, and you know what?

You are the problem with osrs polls. If proposed game content doesn't pass and keeps failing to pass, the game gets boring and stagnant. People quit. Game dies, and it'd be the fault of people who, Guthix forbid, can't accept change in a game that is clearly not the same as it was in actual 2007!

Warding will work. Give it a chance, OSRS could benefit in player numbers and content with a new skill rs3 doesn't have. It's not divination, it's not invention, it is its own damn thing, and people who don't read and vote no to every poll out of spite are wrong that the game is becoming rs3.

I hope jagex stands firm and forces Warding through just to spite those awful players...no matter what marketing tag line or promise they make to players that it's the players game, ultimately jagex are the devs and usually know what's best for the game in the long run.

*glances over at Deadman mode*

Usually...


Couldn't agree more.

Well said :)

Definitely do not add the new high level mage armors that would destroy the value of ancestral.

Make the high level mage wards be either amulets or in the quiver slot. Amulet slot would be better because its stupid that the occult BIS mage amulet is less than a mil.

Mabey throw some useful talismans into the ammo slot similar to the holy blessing. You could give them a variety of helpful affects 10% movement speed increase, automatic coin pickup, no agro, infinite agro ect.

Also would be awesome if the skill included something like the old pack yack scroll that can bank an item. Leaving cheaper items on the ground because they are not worth the inventory space and dont alch for much is painful

NO for warding!...

Cus you guys forcing the skill into game and hidding the poll results, ppl are not dumb to see what is happening.

Reather re-work on current skills, add some fun weys to train boring skills.
