The gmaul with the new ornate handle has raised the price from 30k to around 600k. What's the big deal? Even if the gmaul costs 1m with the handle, what's the big deal? 50 attack gmaulers who wish to risk a bring(i) or zerker necklace over their maul goes in with that 1m risk, and those who wish to protect the maul goes in just risking the maul.

No honor hybrids who don't want to risk the maul, find a way to protect it. Those who already risk fury and tsod probably won't mind a 1m maul.

This handle sells on G.E like any other OP spec item. I don't see the big deal in value finally being added to the gmaul.


TLDR: The granite maul with 50% spec, deserves the new given value of around 500k-1M. The regular 60% one still works with dds. It's not that bad.

Jagex,

“Inexpensive High KO potential”. But DDS is cool? Like just let people PK. There is only serious, money-making potential at the highest levels, no one in the low tiers do it for cash.

I’ve been playing this game for 12 years and now you’re messing with the base set ups of pking? Remember what happened with EOC? You changed the game so much 90% of your player base quit? You had to bring RS2 back AND up the membership prices to just counterbalance these bad decisions?

.... Yeah back to the slippery slope. All I know is if you do this again, I’m definitely not restarting on the next reboot of my accounts. It’s a joke that we players put in massive amounts of time and effort then you throw it back in our faces.

PS: I’ve started playing again after 5 years, and somehow this community has become more trash. I’ve yet to meet a player who isn’t an outright moron for no apparent reason. I’m assuming this is bc of unwanted updates you just implement of your own judgement.

You will find some legitimately good players on osrs general section, but there are trolls and extremist here too.

This game has to attract addicts, extremist, and muddle-headed people to stay alive, which is why finding an intelligent, and geniune player is hard.

The update seems a bit fishy today and I'm glad everyone has been catching on.

First off I want to assure you Jagex that we do NOT WANT that new welcome screen it looks way too much like RUNESCAPE 3. Why are you attempting to change the welcome screen we have used for YEARS?

Some of these failed poll changes need to stop as well as well as unpolled changes. I thought this was OUR game Jagex, why are you not polling these rash PVP and other content changes?

Word of advice Jagex do not forget what makes old-school rs unique and special and better than "Newscape 3"

Also if the OSRS logo in mobile could be changed back to the classic original logo that would be great as it looked much better and cleaner. Agree with the dude

I'd like to chime in and say that since I started Old School on official day of mobile release, I have seen roughly 35% pvm updates, and 65% pvp updates. I fully support adding value to the g maul by making a handle that has to be added to get that 50% spec. It was wayyyyy to cheap and low risk for the ko potential.

My rant comes in on the dinh's bulwark. IT IS A RAID ITEM! IT IS MEANT TO BE OP! LOOK AT THE RAID WEAPONS AND GEAR YOU CAN GET!!!!!! BIS! and its the only 2h shield in game so why SHOULDN'T it have a magic defence?! So because the gold farmers that camp a world rotation at revs, want to whine about something being too strong buuuuuut, if Tbow was any type of viable in pvp I would bet my bank that everyone would whine then also and tbow wouldn't cost 1b+

Seeing dinh's lost it's magic defence highly aggravated me as I use it heavily just to get away from pkers. Mostly for the boss slayer tasks that I get assigned wilderness bosses for.

Instead of a little competition against these bot/gold farmers at rev's, you make it easier for those already farming kills at revs and give those rev bots a payout because no1 wants to compete with them.

Jagex, you added a game changer for pvp but in the same update you make pure pking more 'costly' you just made main pking for those that don't or won't even take the time to fully experience the game, easy.
These maxed brid pkers already have auto-hot keys, have been preying on ppl for years or have big enough teams. What is so wrong about the not so pk savvy people, having a slight edge with a raid item that costs more than the blowpipe that 90% of these bot farms use at revs?

& where was the poll-ing for the dinh's???

Don't cuck up old school too jagex.

Don't listen to all the nay-sayers.

The 'nerf' to the g-maul was needed. It literally doesn't nerf it at all for most of it's uses, and instead adds risk for the abuses that people have been using it for. If they want to rambo combo specs for easy kills, they can actually start risking more. Bravo.

Furthermore, the decision to make snare f2p and not entangle was very good. I like the idea of consistent mage freezing time also. Maybe f2p Castle wars will become more lively with this update, since you can freeze longer than one attack. Now 120s might be killable without insanely skilled players, so it will be more enjoyable to everyone involved.

Thank you for these two changes in particular, fairly impartial on everything else. Castle Wars in Theme - A few minor changes to fix cheating

Thanks for nerfing the Gmaul. I just purchased membership for a PKing account I made, and I've been out of the scene for a handful of years. It's been a challenge to gather my bearing around PvP, and so demoralizing with the back to back deaths to Gmaul KO's. I feel like I will now have more room for error, which makes my learning process smoother and more enjoyable. Appreciate you guys identifying problems in gameplay and coming up with solutions. Haters gonna hate!

"The 'nerf' to the g-maul was needed."

I don't care if you make the greatest argument in the history of all mankind, nothing that existed prior to 2007 should ever be removed, or modified to have its key uses removed under any circumstances ever! I said it about void, and I'll say it about this, even though I almost never use either.

Do not come at us trying to pretend out arguments are negated because they're a "slippery slope fallacy." Jagex saying stuff like "pures are an unintended consequence of exploiting early game mechanics," or "the black d'hide is disproportionately good and should be nerfed" they are saying literally (and no I'm not overusing the word "literally" as is often done today) exactly the same things they said to justify EOC. We didn't just hate EOC because of hot buttons or whatever. We hated it because it ruined classic weapons and got rid of beloved special attacks. They are doing that right now. How are you people so blind? Do you not remember how they sold it as integrity the first time around? "Balancing the combat triangle?" "Balancing equipment based on levels?" Same rhetoric, same updates. The only difference is painfully slow implementation so that we don't get to go out with a bang like we deserve, but instead a painful, depressing pitter.
