"Second thing: You've changed the game so much that it doesn't look like Old School whatsoever, like the older days of the game.

Third thing: The blowpipe nerf is far too hard"

Contradicting yourself there buddy. Nerfing blowpipe is great news for RCB and MSB, and those are more RS2 than blowpipe ever was.




Spellwrought, you're only here to flame, you have no join date for this game so you're on a burner account. I know you will see this. Nothing more to be said from your part. I was making clear statements about how I feel about the game. These are all individual statements, and you haven't been playing long enough to know that, "waiting for group ironman" yeah 3x progress faster playing on three accounts at the same time and no true value to the game; yeah okay buddy. "It's great news for the MSB and RCB", you might as well buff those instead of nerfing the blowpipe in the first place. The thing has been out for six years, but I don't think you were playing back then.

The more I think about the proposed rebalance, the more I don't like most of it. I suppose I could get behind buffing of other metal weapons that are currently useless, but that's about it.

Other than that, this proposal seems like something put together by an outsider who doesn't really understand how the game works and hasn't put in enough hours to appreciate it for what it is.

Some gear does lend itself to hybridization - it's been that way for the last 15+ years and that's totally ok. Rigidly enforcing the combat triangle by boosting or degrading equipment makes things more elementary and braindead by removing the need to balance pros and cons to plan out the best build for a particular purpose.

ex comped rs3 player and 2.1k+ total osrs here

blowpipe and tbow prayer bonus nerf might seem like a reasonable proposal at a glance but it would seriously harm people who are trying to do complete the inferno.

Dinh's bulwark I'm on the fence about, maybe having it have some value isn't so bad and the weight makes it so that players can't run so far with it anyways. I think keep it as it is.

Overall just leave things the way they are. If you really are itching to make changes, make sure to poll us on the specific changes before following through with anything.

The OSRS homepage states "the community controls the development so the game is truly what you want it to be!".

And they are purposely not polling this because they know the community is against it. They are literally going against their own words. False advertising.

If this goes through I am cancelling my membership and disputing credit card charge. I also know of many other individuals planning to do the same. Such a shame Jagex does not learn from their past mistakes.

Oh, and another thing....

This is *not* an "integrity" change.

An integrity change is what was done to stop the falador massacre. An integrity change is what was done to stop the item duplication bug. An integrity change is what was done to stop people from alching crystal bows on non-member servers for insane profits.

This is merely an update you *know* couldn't pass a poll. Each part of these proposed changes needs to be a separate poll question. Put it before the player base and let the chips fall where they may.

The BP was already nerfed once for pvp only. Against most non boss slayer monsters msb with rune arrows is really close in dps to BP with addy darts at a small fraction of the cost. I get about 5-10k exp less per hour using msb. If you nerf the BP it would have no use. currently it cost 500k an hour to use just from scales. Increasing/buffing the items that are never used is a good idea. Making the gap between BIS and gear right under it larger is a very bad idea. Drakes need a buff to be worth killing and not a blocked task
