vote no to armadyl cbow! there is enough overpowered weapons in the game, we don't need another! pking is struggling as it is, this update will kill pking!
1 item arma cross bowers will be running around hitting 60's with the spec, it is extremely accurate also!
vote no if you care for the future of pking

Where have I heard this before... Oh right, every time a new update is released.

A crossbow that can, at maximum, guarantee a hit of 60+ with enchanted Dragon Bolts. I've watched many ~70 combat Void/Dark Bow 85+ hits, with only 55% of the Special Attack bar used. Not to mention the Armadyl Crossbow will use 100% of your Special Attack, AND require level 70 ranged/attack to wield. Dark bow uses 55%, and requires level 60 ranged only. As another note, the crossbow will be ridiculously expensive even as time goes on, and will be affordable only to a few of your supposed 1 item'ers. I personally think it will be used by higher level hybriders in conjunction with other expensive GWD gear, with the crossbow at the back of their minds in terms of risks. As ANOTHER note, the new staff will also not be overpowered. Magic currently has a maximum hit of 30 (Ice Barrage). Will hitting a 34.5 absolutely break any system? I highly doubt it.

Hi Jagex

Alot of the potential rewards you've listed for Nightmare Zone don't exactly seem like they should fit into the nightmare zone.

Please don't just tack on rewards simply because you believe it will make more people play this content.

I voted yes for this update but I do not want to be forced to play it for overpowered rewards.

All the rewards you've listed could come from other more suitable updates.

The Nightmare Zone should be nothing more then what the Dominic Tower is on other RuneScape.

Thanks,
Miles.

That's why it will be put to a vote. We (apparently) voted for the minigame. Then we voted for better rewards. Now they're letting us vote for exactly what we would like in the new rewards (to a degree).

Honestly, if you have a problem with the content being put out, it's there because of the community's decision, not Jagex's. We're the ones who voted 'YES' (or 'no', respectively).

I'd like to see the ancient staff/master wand get a 10% addition. + make the SOL able to auto cast ancient magiks <3

I'm disappointed to see no overload potion, maybe add a torstol to a combat potion, or even a super combat potion would be nice (With range + mage added in).

I like some of the other NZ rewards, but think it has little to do with slayer - and maybe the black mask (e) could come in the game another way?

I'm being hypocritical, I really love this devblog and the effort you guys are putting into the game. I'll vote yes for every single one of these updates :P

For the Nightmare Zone, you are offering a lot of rewards I would really want, but to a mini game I would never play because I hate boss fights and in general I don't like mini games.

I want the rewards, but I don't want them from the Nightmare Zone. I hope to never have to fight anything in the Nightmare Zone, just as I have never fought anything in the Dominion Tower and don't want to, and thus have not and likely will not complete the Desert Achievement tasks in RS3.

I want the best potions, imbued rings, imbued crystal bows, to be able to redirect house teleports, a better slayer mask, and more, but I think they should come from something more related to what they would be used for.

The Black Mask upgrade Slayer reward should come from completing Slayer tasks.
Why would it come from boss fights and not from completing Slayer tasks?

Better Herblore potion ingredients should come from farming and regular monster drops.

The crystal bow upgrade should come from an Elf related quest, not from the Nightmare Zone.

Upgraded house teleport tabs should come from a quest not from the Nightmare Zone.

The cow mask I'd prefer to be able to get some other way, like clue scrolls or from killing cows. The quest cape trim, and herblore packs, I am fine with being from the Nightmare Zone because I can get herbs elsewhere and don't care about the quest cape trim but the rest I do not want as rewards from the Nightmare Zone which would lock me out of ever benefiting from them since I do not want to play any content having to do with boss fights.

I like the rewards, I want them to come from somewhere else more related to what they will be used for.

If you do add rewards to the Nightmare Zone, please give other ways to obtain the rewards so I don't miss out because of Jagex putting them in a mini game I will not want to play. Hi.
