First issue with it for me is the TB running out if TBer dies, makes no logical sense to me and won't affect current gameplay anyway all that much, if anything it just makes TBers even bigger targets in team fights so less people overall will be teleblocked.

Secondly, and waaaaayy more importantly, the protection prayer buff is going to absolutely kill off small-team single/multi pking. Currently players with black d'hide, bulwark and augury can tank teams of 3-10+ with relative ease if they know what they're doing due to the high mage defence from d'hides and insane melee/range defence from bulwark. If you boost the protection prayers further these players will be nigh on invincible. Small teams will eventually get bored of rarely ever getting high value kills and will stop pking altogether. This change absolutely shouldn't be put to poll. This is an update for pvmers/skillers/cluers in the wildy to survive easier in disguise and as such will pass immediately. #Wintaj

Colourblind change actually makes it much more difficult for me to see the health accurately compared to the current HP bar

Prayer buff is more rewarding to pvmers/skillers in the wilderness than it is for pkers. This is meant to be a PvP blog but outlines a method that means it's going to be even harder to kill people in cheap but "OP" gear such as bulwark with dhides, its already hard enough to kill them in small teams without them being even more tanky. If people can't get kills they'll get bored and stop pking, doing more harm than good if this gets polled and implemented.

Stop shoving down failed polls down our throats.

If you're going to remove unskulling, make it on BH worlds only. Makes no sense for me to walk around skulled just to do the Death Altar clue steps.

The Proposed Black D hide nerf is ridiculous. How is the difference between +50 magic defense verses +65 magic defense a "slight" increase? Karils magic defense is far superior. It would make sense for the melee bonuses of black d hide to be reduced, but Karils provides FAR more magic defense. People who struggle to catch freezes on hides are either lazy and don't bring enough switches and/or are too cheap and hardly bring any risk. Plenty of people with mystics catch like every freeze on me, people in xeric robes shouldn't be able to do so. If black d'hide is getting nerfed, nerf xeric robes, mystics, the dds and the rune crossbow if you honestly believe cheap items should have no utility. Speaking of the Avernic Defender Hilt ( no issue with the proposed change), while you're at it increase its value because items such as a bulwark protect over it.

There are so many bad ideas on this blog that it'd take a few pages just to dismantle all the bullshit.

Removing one of the only uses for imp boxes (and one of the legitimate ways to actually anti-lure).

Pushing through things that have been polled and failed multiple times.

Spending dev time on LMS, which is dead (and will stay dead). Infinite prayer?

Changing how prayer protections works in pvp? Interesting for wilderness but imagine how much this will screw up minigames like castlewars. Invincible flag carriers?


All I ask is that you actually poll these changes. Stop trying to turn PvP into whatever warped view of it you have, and let the community actually decide what PvP is supposed to be. You know, which is one of the whole points of OSRS. If you have bugs to fix, go fix them.

Adding a chat message for when teleblock is about to be removed isn't an integrity fix. It's a minor QOL that needs to be polled. Adding teleblock to f2p isn't an integrity fix. It's a huge shift in the f2p pvp meta, and that community needs to have their needs addressed, especially considering they aren't allowed to respond to polls.

Loving the F2P Teleblock
Any updates to F2P PVP are sorely needed, all thats needed now are bringing back old weapons like Corrupt, Gravite, or adding new bows to use

Why change the gmaul mechanic ? My account is based on that setup so you will ruin hours of hard work moreover it’s part of the essence of the game, you can’t be reconsidering everything even more when it affects weapon specs, just leave the way it is today since PVMers have to take appropriate precautions and gmaul is considered as pking art weapon,
Just do it and you will kill pking world, something we have been fighting for while now so let’s be serious and backup for such proposal, it is an unwelcomed suggestion.

Thank you and have a nice day

Something that failed a poll 4 times is now an "integrity change." Was it not the point of OSRS that we'd be able to vote on all changes?

FWIW I would happily vote yes to making teleblock F2P, but I cannot support anything that significant being unpolled.

It isn't that I disagree with your position on the f2p teleblock, but..

The only "point" of OS was to regain lost players from a massive screw up.

Polls? Shouldn't have happened in the first place. There was nowhere near enough votes in that initial poll to support polls being added.

Now, it appears that jagex is 'taking over' and will simply call whatever an "integrity fix" (though at this point I can't imagine why anyone would be surprised at something like this).

They know something would never pass a poll (in this instance they've polled and watched it fail multiple times) but they want it in the game anyway and it's really nothing more than a middle finger to ALL the people playing that voted NO (multiple times, even).

Jagex is nothing.. if not consistant.. and players don't need to "support" what jagex wants. They've repeatedly proven this.

They don't seem to realise that this time, there is no 'do over'. They're too busy milkin' that cow to see anything beyond what THEY want. Consequences be damned.

Way to go jagex. I knew you still had it in ya to royally muck up this one too. gratz. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.
