Hey, how do you think these changes specifically to the blowpipe will affect the inferno? it's already considered to be the hardest content in the game and nerfing the blowpipe so significantly will heavily affect who can actually complete the inferno, since blowpipe is your primary dps tool while doing it.

Have you considered the impact these changes will have on the inferno? You mention fight caves and how melee will become the primary source of dps there but you don't so much as touch on the inferno?

Just make black d hides def req higher..... 40 def shouldnt have that much power. Does the nerdf apply to God hides as well?
The tier changes make sense but the nerfs are terrible,
Overall 1/10 you arent polling because you know the majority wouldn't support all these changes

uhh..it feels overwhelming to be thrown all these nerfs at once. Here's what I don't like; I think the only thing about dhide that should change is its magic def. Looks like your going overboard with the bp nerfs, I see what you want to do, but it sounds as if it wont be useful for anything except slayer, and you don't even ranged slayer much. Dragonbone necklace update pointless, still almost never going to be used, change the exp it gives or update its effect then maybe. I don't see the logic behind changing the stat reqs for items, it doesn't solve the problem you proposed, you just moved them up a tier...lol. Honestly this seems like some pr move or something to try and gain face because these updates are stupid.

I never post on these and typically don't care about most of the updates since I'm an ironman(btw), and for the most part I agree with the changes being made. The only concern I have is with the nerfing of the blowpipe.
Yeah, it's super good, but it's also one of the more expensive items to use in the game. I don't see a problem with increasing the level requirement, but I think it's egregious to lower the DPS on it considering the high cost for use. I think it'd be a little silly to have a rune cross bow, a very easily obtained item, to be better DPS at a lot of places than the blowpipe.

Mostly good changes. I think nerfing the magic defence on dragonhide even by a small amount doesn't make sense, and maybe 40 ranged attack on blowpipe instead of 30 as other have mentioned the inferno and that may be too harsh of a nerf.. Otherwise, decent changes despite the outcry.

Please do not pass this update it is the first step towards ruining the game and making it the reason why people would rather play this than rs3


Just leave the game how it is. You are going to lose many loyal players who have been playing their entire lives I am one of them

Some of these changes are absolutely stupid. Way too heavily nerfing D hide and Bpipe....... To not poll the changes is dumb and like others have pointed out, its a slippery slope once you start making drastic changes like this. Learn from your mistakes, we dont want another EOC, we play osrs because we like the way it is. 50% reduction on blowpipe just kills it for mid level / poorer players. AT THE VERY LEAST POLL THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
