Majority of these changes are unnecessary. Especially the nerfs. People crying about how people can have access to good weapons at lower levels is a stupid argument.

I support the changes made on lower tier gear like Rune and weapons like warhammers. I don't think any of the weapons that currently require 70-75 levels should be increased or nerfed. This is how games are destroyed. Instead, introduce higher tier weapons. Some of these weapons that y'all are trying to nerf aren't exactly cheap to buy or operate. So being able to get your hands on them should be rewarding anyways.

Keep the game as it is, maybe add some quality of life improvements. Don't ruin too much though. There's a reason why many people left rs3 due to EOC and came to OSRS.

BP nerf is too harsh. Maybe kill the zulrah bot farming and drive the cost up by making it use more scales or something. Keep the DPS just make it less practical to use.

I agree with basically everything else.

I feel like this update hinders the many, rather than the few, and further increases the ability gaps between mid-level and high-level players.

Those of us who are casual players rely on items such as the blowpipe in order to beat bosses and progress in the game. We don't have the luxury of 8 hours game time per day with banks worth 1B+ to buy a tbow.

It also futher inhibits ironmen, with the blowpipe already sitting behind a level 702 boss who can 2-shot players, why is there a need for a nerf? Please reconsider.

Really feels like all these changes are PvM like always...who cares what PvP is like....


Honestly, I don't know who these changes are for, considering they pretty much are trash all around.

would you guys be able to make actual swords better to use or introduce a new sword/longsword as i am and a number of people are huge fans of swords yet they are completely useless at ANY LEVEL give us a reason to use swords/longswords


please don't listen to this. i get what you're saying m8, but why should we have to have a bank full of different equipment for different uses. we'll need like 200 more bank spaces if we go down this EOC route

If the blowpipe was slowly nerfed over time as other alternatives became available people wouldn't complain.

Completely gutting it in one update without even polling it/offering a effective alternative (crystal armor isn't accessible especially for ironmen)

A unpolled change the affect the entire meta of end game pvm is bound to make people upset. EOC flashbacks

So, I agree whole-heartedly that a rebalance needs to be done. I agree many things are so over powered and under powered as to make the meta stale. I applaud the effort that y'all are putting into trying to come up with a logical solution. I also have one major critic of the rebalance, and a few minor ones.


Then the bad... the blowpipe. Yes, it is overpowered, and needs a nerf. Honestly, in many occasions, it is on par with raid weapons if not actually better. (Like at Vorkath, the second most powerful dragon in the game behind Ohm, the bp can still out dps the dhcb the majority of the time) So I like where the idea you had comes from. But from a pure statics point, I believe the nerf you proposed is too much. 40% decrease give or take in effectiveness, will render it almost useless. So I am not saying don't nerf it. But I am more on the side of about 15% stat reduction, and even I may be on the high side here, would still leave it usable, but no where near BIS for content people love. You can take a rcb into sara, and you can get kc, but it's not effective comparatively right? I am using the same concept, but with a higher tier piece of gear than the rcb, with a harder unlock for real players who are just getting into bossing, and haven't memorized every rotation. (Also, mixing up the rotations slightly randomly, could do well in giving script writers more issues with many bosses, where real players can more easily adapt, but that is a topic for a different thread).

I like that this isn't rs3, and everything isn't always easy. There are other things, but I am out of room.

Be Well,

Armand


Why are changes necessary though? Why is that assumed among this conversation? What is broken for normal players? Not everyone is post-endgame sweaties. I just cannot figure out what is broken about an item thats been out for half a decade, etc etc
