I prefer boss instances check number of kills as opposed to the number of deaths. Some players learn faster than others and it could get quite expensive for those who are slow to learn. Others may not even fancy themselves as boss slayers and may only be interested in completing something like the western provinces diary.

I think introducing this mechanic is really stupid, may as well just continue the leap and turn it into rs4, why cant it go back to how “old school 07” was when you die you get back in time or you lose your shit. Thats old school not this make it easy for the player crap
I think its a real joke items will be removed from the game this way to causing the market to increase again bossing will become more active, valuable item will remain of value, i hate all these changes that keep coming to the game to make it simple and easy it shouldnt be that way. My opinion, but i also respect the 07 version

The fact is that without the risk of losing any items, wheter that is because of it being dropped for you for 60 minuts, or stored in some death office's bank, takes away all fun and elements of danger of the game, as well as an important part of player interaction.
A player can litterally do a boss fights without any risk, simply cause he can run back to his grave, pick up the items and go in again to damage/kill a boss/monster. This will make it super easy for new botters to emerge that play on this part.

Option 1 with a slightly more timer (5-15 minuts?), WITH item spawn for other players is the best in my opinion, and would keep the game more interesting for everyone. Not all who wander, are lost.

Yesterday I could not log in because of too many log in attempts, since I play with 3 accounts at the same time that happened now twice. I call it server problems. Only thing that I want is a fair chance to get the items when you are not being able to go online because of technical issues.

It is totally frustrating and demotivating to die in pvm or pvp, because yiou feel like a loser for dieing. Worse when you ie and feel like a loser and it is not your fault like pvp or technical problems. So there are rants over other players for being killed or not liking the wilderniss. And on top of that you lose your items, why break something that is not broken. Most of the death result in technical problems, when you do not feel like it is fair to die and lose like everything.

Why did I wright all that down? Because it is a very bad feeling to die and it can easily result in players quitting by losing their very long grinded items due to something that is not their fault. I do not know how much you guys at Jagex play Runescape, I know some do and Ash wants the new death mechanics. Just imagine when a player grinded years for valueable items and lose them how do you think you would feel.

And it really is about feelings. If you get a fair reward like with construction you are glad so spent some money connected to the amount you are willing to pay, depending on the gp you have and the willingness to spent it. I think this point is really important. Because why would new players try a boss and lose their items. They pretty much quit or play the easy bosses which then will be overcrowded. Not only is it an incentive to wear not as good armour and pay less for it, also it makes the high end content further more less attractive. Theatre of blood is not camped that much and it requires high end items and high lvls and skill and a group that has all that. You created that content to play it, but I guess it can not hurt if some more play it too. Group finding is not easy there.

And to the players who want to loot other graves: Stop being such bad people.
I guess pvp is a sad part of this game which has to be, but it attracts more than enough scammers and people I would not like to describe precisely.
The point why it got abolished to loot other players items is that the servers were fragile and people has a motivation to worsening servers with ddos and all such to lot other players items.
I really do not want those server problems and I also do not want those people.

Bump. Now people are forgetting about this, and continue fawning over recent updates. I guess people have attention span of a goldfish, easily forget what's good for them despite uncomfortable, the moment they are given more glitters to play with.

Such simpletons.

I've been checking the website for a while now but no news on this for quite some time. Are we going to get a poll? I think death mechanics is quite an important topic.

I personally hope Jagex will revert it to the way it was. Or maybe make it 3 minutes to give some respite ; )
