poll it (as you should not force it) so it can fail and you can stop wasting your time and ours you want to make it harder for low lvl to pvm and to get good gear and make it ezy for pvp to get kills just day that then poll it so if can fail

Honestly I think the update is A needed and B completely fair in every aspect. I can't see how it will have a game breaking effect on the game like somepeople are saying. Everything can be done without the blowpipe now so will still be able to be done after the update even if become more of a challenge in the short term future.

On the aspect of polling the update we all know that any kind of nerfs however small is never getting passed cause people would never think of the game as a whole but only think of themselves. Do I like a update without a poll no but I understand in certain situations it has to be done. I also don't think a change like this is anything like what happened in main game that end with the decline.

I'm glad to see blessed d'hide is keeping its magic and ranged defense stats. That'll be super helpful at godwars (can keep wearing it as a god item without having to swap to something like karil's).

I'm also excited about those changes to maces, spears, armours, warhammers, and the like. I'm a little excited to try it on my noob for training.

I don't think these changes need to be polled either. These are changes that should have been made at the beginning of when these items were being created, but they only ever came to light with data and player experience.

I'm also glad time completions will be reset at the bosses. That'll make it easier to compete fairly with everyone else.

I also wanted to say that these changes are not really game-breaking. It "ruins" a lot of current game play setups and makes it so "mid-level players" have to wait for "new metas" to be released, but honestly melee is already pretty powerful in a lot of situations, it's just harder to master avoiding damage (it honestly would be the meta if there wasn't a random "ranged" item, which shouldn't be faster than melee while letting you attack from a safe spot, yet was much faster than melee, that existed in the first place). And making us switch items and learn some new click rotations is not really as game-changing as overhauling the entire combat system (special attacks and all). Lots of new bosses already do that.

I'm excited for the new challenges that warranted the look into some of these issues in the first place. Though it'll probably be a while before I try them.

Do NOT cater to obby and granite maulers A SINGLE BIT MORE. The dragon warhammer is one of the PEARLS of 60 attack pking. The one high hitting single hit weapon. Why would you EVER give that to obby maulers??? or even worse 50 attack builds? 60 attack is already a dying breed, please for the love of god don't encourage the strongest metas EVEN MORE.

I'm all for diversifying the other weapon categories with attack speed changes but DO NOT add more 1 attack high hitting melee weapons. You're going to end up with level obby maulers hitting higher than their combat level. Hitting 60's at level 50. You're giving g maulers a high-accuracy single hit weapon to go past defence with. G maulers are g maulers. The 50 attack is a trade-off in accuracy.

50 attack with 90 strength is the same combat level as 75 attack with 65 strength. A dragon warhammer special attack at 90 strength will hit SO MUCH higher than an armadyl godsword special attack at 65 strength.

Do not do this. This severely degrades diversity of play. And I'm saying this as a 50 attack pure.

Just adding my thoughts here. I enjoy pvp in this game and I’ve found a balance while I wait for pvp updates. I made a main that is able to pk and do quests and raids and is limited in attack and strength. These changes remove items I am able to access and have earned. This hurts those who have done quests, grinded for the BoS, paid for a VLS, own a dragon hunter lance and so many more. Years go into designing these accounts. I know that new updates come along we need to adapt but this is the opposite. This is going back and removing content. If you’re not going to change your mind at least let us slightly reduce our stats so we can remake these accounts. As a ranged tank, I get 148 atk and str levels to work with. Those are spent. I got 75 atk for a reason. Unfortunately, I would have gotten 78atk/70str if I ever thought something like this was possible. Now I’m 75atk/73 str and screwed by the update.

Seriously, years of work. If we are able to reduce stats and go and rebalance to accommodate for these changes, I will have no problems with the update. I doubt you’ll consider this, but allowing us to rebalance our stats allows us to keep the content and not ruin our pking accounts.

Thanks for your consideration.
