This is ridiculous, the Artisan skill got voted down and shouldn't be re polled along with Bounty Hunter. Nothing has been re polled since Old School was released and the fact that they'e starting now with things like the Artisan skill and Bounty Hunter? It's outrageous, that's what it is, I still personally don't want either of these items voted into the game. Artisan just because the skill still sucks and is a huge waste of time. The only change to Bounty Hunter is the targeting system which I like, but as a whole I still will vote no in the hopes of getting it voted down. Just to add to the disappointment of this whole thing it appears to me that we'll only be voting on what the Corporeal Beast drops too? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'd like the opportunity to vote on whether or not that should be in the game also. Everything about this month is looking down so far. If the newest Artisan and Bounty Hunter poll had a question about whether or not the Corporeal Beast should be added to Old School my answer would sure as hell be NO to that question also. Please fix this BS, Thank you*

** didn't change enough to justify a repoll. Artisan could.

They did repoll the arma xbow. Not sure if anything else was repolled, but I do remember that, so it's not a first...unfortunately.

I'd like to be able to vote on corp beast drops and corp beast. Last thing we need is another boss dropping combat-ready gear. I'm not ok with the corp beast if hsi drops don't have to be put together like godswords, minimum (and no guy in the monastery that will do it for you either).

We will get the poll the corp beast though, I think. Of course, they added minigame teles without a poll, so...who knows.

Lol @ typical Jagex logic. Oooh a whopping 800 replies on the corp thread. 800 is puny compared to the player base, and how many of those posts were negative towards corp? Artisan has failed soo many times, stop pushing for it since clearly the only ones that want it are you (Jagex). You said the game is to go the way we vote for it to go, so stop repolling the same thing trying to convince us, which is basically trying to make the game go your way. It's the same poo, different pile I'm afraid. I don't know why you guys are trying to ruin your second chance of getting members to support this game anymore. Oldschool isn't just a side thing now, it's growing to have near half of all current players online.

"The Bounty Hunter target system is a nifty game mechanic that challenges a player in the wilderness to take out a specific opponent. The aim of the system is to add another level of challenge to PvP while condensing the PKing population onto a world where the mechanic is available,
creating a more active wilderness
."

I've said it before and I'll say it again in response:

You need to look at the bigger picture here Jagex: Do you honestly think the Bounty Target mechanic will help draw in more PKers into the wilderness? C'mon, don't lie to yourself Jagex. I doubt the poll will even pass.

I mean, as it appears to me, your bottom line goal with the BH target system is another attempt to revive the wilderness to its original glory by drawing in more PKers, correct me if I'm wrong.

Having said that, if that is actually your aim, then you should quit with your ignorant pretense of the truth and implement the followings to draw in more PKers/Players into the game, and at the end of the day, to the wilderness itself aswell:

- Restore the entire backup of the old website.

- Introduce permanent F2P.

- Bring back the old username registration method.

- Possibly change the name of Oldschool Runescape to something more appealing.


In conclusion, there's no issue with the current Wilderness mechanics; It is perfect as it is, the only issue here is the lack of new generation of players coming into the game.

I'm only trying to help you realize the bigger picture in here Jagex, but unfortunately you won't listen.

I support Corp 100%. Was a great boss, a lot of fun. But don't *** up the drops. Make the sigil drops very rare just as they were before so its a huge feeling of accomplishment when you get a sigil split.

I DONT support Artisan, honestly a waste of time, I will never level it.

I kind of support BH, but I need to see more about it to make a final decision. Its 50/50 for me.

Blah blah blah conspiracy conspiracy tin foil hat


Why do you still post here? I remember checking your stats when I first started remembering your name back around the time of the Wildy Ditch poll. I seem to remember you having around 650k xp then. You now have 850k xp. Seriously, why are you still here spouting your babble if you're not even playing the game?

Jagex, we need to up the requirements of the poll to stop these kinds of people having a say. If they're not playing the game actively, why do they have the same power as someone who plays for 12 hours a day? It makes literally zero sense. Up the poll requirement to 1k total along with the in game poll, then we'll see what the community really wants.

PUT YOUR MIND WHERE THE MONEY IS!


Why not start working on the updates people want? The idea of a new continent was received well among most players. It's pretty critical to the game, maybe not right this minute, but we can't keep playing this game with minor, relatively meaningless updates every week. It will simply get boring, and the mediocre community doesn't help O_o .

CONTINENT: Player base grows, game becomes more interesting.

CORP AND/OR ARTISAN: Obviously some people want it, but they're a minority by far. Player base decreases, game starts to become more OP no matter what you guys say to try and cover it up. :|

EDIT: Speaking from a veteran's viewpoint! I love 07 and i played the real thing way back in 2007 too, so my word is not a shallow one!

The thing is, my friend, that It's in their interest to maintain Old School as a side thing, unfortunately.

I would go further into detail in response to your post to make things clearer, but I'm afraid I can't since the (First) time I was temporarily banned from the Forums.

They've apparently become obnoxious towards loyal Members who are only trying to write the truth.

Bounty Hunter target system

In next week's poll you will be able to decide if the Bounty Hunter target system, as described in the, will make an appearance in Old School.

The Bounty Hunter target system is a nifty game mechanic that challenges a player in the wilderness to take out a specific opponent. The aim of the system is to add another level of challenge to PvP while condensing the PKing population onto a world where the mechanic is available, creating a more active wilderness.
bounty hunter is going to fail because it's just wilderness hide and seek, no real rewards to speak of for that matter. Has the ridiculous level range of 1-10 been dropped down to 1-5?

They should be repolled. The matter in which they were polled in seemed extremely rushed, and there wasn't much announcement behind them. We had this short developer blog on Bounty Hunter (which was filled to the brim with complaints because it was just wilderness hide and seek for 10k), and then it was polled literally the next day.

I don't believe Artisan and BH were given a fair shot like every other question in polls prior was.
