Why are you guys trying to make LMS into some kind of really bad Fist of Guthix remake? No one apart from Pkers really enjoy doing that kind of content, it's not enjoyable and it'll be constantly played by PVPers where as the average player wont find it enjoyable. Stop putting stock into minigames that at their core wont resonate with the average player, all you'll do is make people angry over content locked behind a PVP minigame, force them to do it, and once they get their rewards from the shop, never play it again. This isn't a solution to the dead minigame. Just add in the rewards to their respective areas, eg: Halos at Castle Wars. Please.


A pvp mini-game played by pkers oh no!


If it was just meant to attract PVPers with pvp rewards then I wouldn't have an issue but they want to add rewards, that are better placed elsewhere, to try and get casual players to play it even though it wont fix the problem, then I'm going to say something about it.


So what do you think halos are? Literally only used by pures for BIS/other pking builds for cosmetic purposes. If it's because you want to do collectionist/completionist stuff then I guess it's time for you to learn how to pk


Congratulations on being able to reiterate what I said. Why force players to do pking content when many of them don't want to? Regardless of Comp/collection or otherwise, many players do not want to pk, pking has always been an optional playing style.

Lms in it's current form, Not viable and we will be left with the same predicament.
1. No looting please the key's give little help unless you have major rng

2. Player inventory needs to be adjusted, wonky gear with dds and defender and spirit shield?not everyone likes to have 8 ways

3. Players have around 10 seconds to loot being safe needs to be longer (up to 20 seconds)

4.Boring it gets repetitive I fully understand the issue that it's in beta but games get stale with fixed spawns, players should be able to choose a location or be spawned in randomly, give more spacing between players it gives a better feel of what it's like to pk.

5. Make leagues, up gear in higher ranks, lower gear in less ranks

6. chests and key's don't make sense for this game mode Insert (random gear switch)
^ fill gear with (tier gear > current weapon then current armor)

7.Prayers, protection needs to be adjusted and make players feel rewarded for getting prayers right ( not currently happy getting 39'd through range pray with a d bolt)

8. Separate the game modes give us old lms and new version (tribrid wars)

9. misclicking prayers stalls character please fix .....!

Don't want to pk? Don't play the mini-game, the rewards are linked to pvp, if you want it for cosmetic purposes then there you go, sorry the game doesn't always comply to your needs, now you know how we've felt for the last few years :)

Here's the thing , why give lms negative feedback when the minigame itself was already dead ? It's not like the went into nmz and ruined it . I think it's a blast and actually motivates pkers to do NON pvp activities. Imagine a new pker who doesn't quest etc... Plays the new version of lms and gets to pk with a heavy ballista , maybe he will do mm2 and get the stats to use one. It doesn't affect the actual game. For those players like myself who have played since 2001 this change does not bother me, pre eoc was a bunch of updates that resembled wildly keys not a harmless minigame

I think a pure nhing option would be better then only main nhing at LMS. Main nhing is barely any skill and just hoping on good hits( sometimes i hit every hit on my opponent and some games i hit only 0s).

Also like som1 else said already there should be rewards for every1 that entry, that way you keep people motivated to play the game and get better. If they gotta pay 200k or 1m and they usually die first fight and get no reward then it's pointless.

Might aswell fix the trees/ dding stuff, cause is it even nhing when som1 just dd in you everytime…

After seeing all the negative feedback I decided to post my take. This minigame is exactly what the game has been lacking for years... it's literally, almost perfect. This allows players to hop in and actually learn to pk without having to dump years of their bank into mystic sets and dying 3 seconds after tping into the wild. This minigame is DMM pking on the main servers. I could not support this update enough it's amazing!

1. If you don't like tribriding you are either absolute hog wash, or you've come to the wrong place.... Go back to cutting yew trees....

2. If you think new players sitting in range and bolting you all day is "so overpowered," simply learn how to tribrid and you'll understand that they are simply giving you a free kill...

3. I think this post is mostly being commented on by the lv 3 wc bots and their owners...

This variant of LMS is very fun to play!

Here's my constructive criticism of how the game plays currently:

1) The spawns groups need to be even numbered. I hate to be the 1 unlucky guy that can't start with a fight, as has to run around looking for one, while fights are already ending and then my first fight is someone who's upgraded to dragon claws.

2) Time to loot should be increased by +5 sec.

3) you should be able to loot out of cabinets, drawers, etc.. Not just chests.

4) There needs to be some sort of in-game map... I don't know the location of all these places where the crates spawn. There no hope of me finding them without a map or something. Like at least have a map of the arena in the lobby so I can study it before going in game.

5) Maybe we should start with slightly weaker tribrid gear (xerican robes for example) and then the number of kills you have determines whether or not u get say karils (2 kills) or mystic (1 kill).

6) When the new version in the game is finalized I think as long as the rewards are good, the game will be a hit for sure.

7) Make like 10k, 100k, 1m entry modes for competitive?

8) When I drop my food to loot, it disappears... very frustrating!!


That's all I got for now.. I love the changes! It's great bridding practice, and a lot of fun
