Slayer Updates Sound Promising!! I wonder if there's still going to be a quest to unlock the slayer point system instead of just implementing the rewards directly into the game. These Great rewards can't just be given to us as if this was RS3. Keep the OSRS spirit and keep giving us challenges to make things fun! :)

Mod reach, why not give everyone 2 Party hats sets, 2 Christmas cracker, and 1 untradeable Black/Rainbow partyhat along with every other untradables for Christmas. This will make everyone happy and no one can really hoard/merchant them? Just an idea I want to throw out. If you're going with the idea as in the OP then people will just hoard Partyhats and make their prices go to the millions which not every have so not every can have fun if they don't have the money to afford them. Also, 2 Christmas crackers isn't enough for a Partyhat set let alone 50% when pulling it on someone else. :/ Overall, it's a bad idea to NOT introduce Partyhats for this year Christmas event.

Co-operative slayer tasks, sounds good, as does, the slayer helm, new slayer monsters (dropping new mage gear i hope :P ) & slayer ring.

What I think would be awesome would be that you could team up on slayer trips regardless of the other persons task. That way it would be easier to slay with friends, rather than scanning forums for partners on at the same time as you who've got the same task... =\ Sounds like it'd be hard to find matches. That way you could say to your friends oh I got "this monster", and they could jump in on it with you no problems.

That being said, if you elect to team up the task size should increase by say 75%, otherwise tasks would go too quickly, and not make it worthwhile to slay co-op because you'll be spending more time running from task to task then slaying.

I love the idea of miniature gwd boss beasties!


I think I don't understand how the partyhat thing works. I was sort of expecting every player to get at least one phat of every colour. Would that mean that you can choose to either keep the phat set, or cut it up into a Rainbow version?
Clarification about the method of receiving partyhats would be helpful, I think.

(btw, I do like the Rainbow thingy. Let's make sure everyone in the Kremlin hears about it lolz )
Isn't it strange that so many players blindly apply to clans, without ever wondering why there are openings in that clan?

Should we introduce the leaf bladed sword as drop from slayer creatures?
- I'd rather they drop an attachment that grants boosts to the Spear while slaying appropriate monsters, or give the Sword lower stats than it originally had considering it is a 1-Handed weapon that has Styles other than Control/Def. Either way, no big deal here.


Should we introduce broad tip bolts to be bought from a slayer master?
- Can these have Range Damage around Steel bolts and get a passive boost while fighting appropriate monsters? Alternatively, could these also require points to buy and not just gold?


Should we introduce broad arrow heads to be bought from a slayer master?
- Only if the Fletching Xp is greatly reduced compared to its original amount.


Should we introduce a time trial slayer mode which will reward players with additional XP if they complete their task within an allotted time period?
- Additional Xp? No. Additional Points? Yes. Love this idea though, more further down


If we introduce two new slayer monsters, should we introduce two new boss variants of the slayer monsters?
- Would they only be able to be fought once, or could you be randomly challenged by them during tasks?


Would you like to be able to turn existing party hats into tradeable rainbow party hats?
- I like how you have the entire event outlined. If rewards are to be changed, I would prefer not to be handed 2 of every party hat but rather the chance to earn more Crackers.


~ Additional Feedback ~
- Adding a Passive 'Bane' effect to broad arrows should also be considered to make them comparable to Broad Bolts (should they be passed).

- Can Time Trial Slayer act more like a random event during tasks? An NPC appears and wagers Slayer Points that you can't kill X of theses creatures in Y time. These kills don't count towards your task but grant slayer xp. If you win you get the wagered points, otherwise you lose your wagered points. Optional participation.

Thank you for your time,
~Afropunk~

Will the slayer time trials take into account that not every combat style is viable for speed...As it seems to be a real slap in the face for someone who is maging...We have the highest cost for combat in general, and the worst dps. But this update will add in the fact that we get less slayer xp because we are hindered by our low damage output....

This is the sort of feedback we're looking for. Nothing here is set in stone and happening for definite. If it's mutually agreed that this isn't what we should be doing then we won't do it. :)

I was really looking forwards to being able to own a set of partyhats, something that I will probably never be able to do in rs3. I think everyone should have access to party hats, but only once a year. This makes them semi rare, and still worth something, but not obscenely rare as they are currently.

You forgot about the question to add Magic Damage onto Black Mask (i) and Slayer helm. Hexcrest was originally introduced with 15% magic damage and accuracy, but was only given accuracy while the Focus sight boosts on the Black Mask (i) was 15% accuracy and damage. Please poll this, it was originally introduced that way and it should be changed to give a damage bonus like any other combat boost during slayer tasks. I don't understand why it wasn't polled originally with the magic damage boost, when it was introduced that way in the first place.
