I like the idea of making death a bit more dangerous again, even if its still missing the option for others to loot if you are too late.

But i really hate the idea to make pvp even more dangerous again. Not allowed to use pipe in wildy for slayer anymore if you dont want high risk.... sigh. Only makes sense, if pvp is completely removed from normal servers and put to unique worlds.

There is no reason to do this at all. Not only are there simply too many chances of natural lagging or disconnect to get you killed this absolutely open the door to the worst of us using targeted attacks to lag people and get them killed. We risk plenty and pvp and wildy still retain the higher risk factor we don't deserve to be worried about our stuff everywhere. This being changed is unfair and a very transparent attempt to just shove more grind into our face. None of this needs changed to be crueler to us this entire thing sucks.

I like how the death mechanics are currently.

Perhaps add a set fee to more bossing deaths like how Vorkath/Alchemical Hydra/Grotesue Guardians is currently.

I think Kraken (boss) instance should have an npc/chest in line with Vork and above too.

If you start charging players for dying at Zulrah, I think new players should be allowed at least 30 free deaths there, if not more. It is pretty challenging to learn Zulrah, and players shouldn't be financially locked out from content that is new to them in my opinion.

I don't really buy into the whole "we need a money sink in the game" - if you want some money out of the game, focus much more on getting bots out of the game, rather than punishing the legit players.

Personally I believe it's a vocal minority who feel strongly that the death mechs need changing. I believe the majority of players prefer to enjoy the game without the stress of adding punishing death mechanics.

My main account is an ironman and the thought of losing hard to obtain items really puts me off.

All I've typed is just my opinion. I do believe most players are fine with the current death mechanics. Of course I could be wrong. Maybe it's just me. Back on RS2 when I died and lost most of my bank cos I couldn't get to grave in time it was soooooooo horrible. Building up an account and losing many months worth of wealth really sucks when things can go wrong in a few misclicks!

To re-state a point I made above, be careful not to financially lock out players from enjoying all the great content in the game.

im 99 range 94 mage and even now i have to use a map on my phone still only 13 kc the boss is a joke but people have 1000's of kills so its obviously easy to some.

However if you were to charge for deaths at zulrah no one new would learn that why?? just do vorkath lol

Putting big fees on our deaths is stupid. put another 1% on dueling save us all the drama.

I see all these options but i dont see an option to leave it as it is???

im glad alot of people have said the same shows osrs isnt crazy.

Only rich or really experienced people want this its common sense What normal player wants a gold sink.

Like everyone has said above, Why would i use my best gear if i could lose it... Which mean i dont use best gear which makes the game shit in long run.

I know i aint the only one thinking like this too. Just crazy

My 2 cents:
-Introduce gravestones that last from 2-8 minutes, depending on purchasable gravestone upgrades (the timer should only count down while logged in). Gravestones are accessible in every world.
-Loot will not be visible to anyone during the countdown timer and is immediately destroyed upon expiration.
-If you make it to the gravestone within 2 minutes, no fee is charged. Otherwise, charge a fee somewhere in line of the proposed changes (up to 500k total for valuable items). Optionally, charge an additional gravestone fee if a gravestone upgrade is purchased to offset the lower risk.
-Charge fees for untradeable items lost in PvM deaths.
-Allow people with 80+ Prayer to bless gravestones to extend the timer to 15 minutes.
-Make it so that subsequent deaths within the same area will introduce an extra recovery fee, even for low-value items (supplies, runes etc.), in order to discourage people from dying several times at some bosses and spawn several inventories worth of food in the arena.
-Specific: make gravestones appear INSIDE the GWD boss rooms. IMO these bosses are supposed to add extra risk compared to others such as KBD / KQ.

2 min death timer looool why would you even put that as an option


imagine??


All im saying is if you put that bs in there is no reason to play just stand on peoples gravestones like back in the day.

Leave it all as it is and stop trying to take hard earned gp or make it harder for us to learn things then charge us 3 console games a year
