Hey Jase said :
Absolutely can't wait for Corp, i'm so excited. But 1 thing that worries me is people's thinking process before they vote. They just think "Spirit shields - OP" and vote no. There is many many more factors that need to be taken into consideration before voting, such as:
How rare they are,
The cost of supplies to kill Corp,
How expensive they will be,
How not everyone will have access to them, and not everyone will just be walking around with a divine.

Corp HAS to have spirit shields or it simply won't be worth it. The return with the Corps drops have to be worth the time taken/supplies used to kill it.

This could be an absolutely fantastic update for the game and i hope people can broaden their minds past the point of voting no without any thought behind it.

As for the old school team, good job guys! You are offering everything i hoped for, now it's up to the community...

This this this.
We need more people like this in our community, people who actually think without mindlessly hating on anything new and fun.

This is a very ignorant way of putting it. We - the people voting no to (especially divine/elysian) spirit shields - have put plenty of thought behind it, and we have seen what it did to rs3; of course when it comes to PvM, but also PvP (which is one of my concerns).
I agree that hunting corp would be fun, but I don't want endgame items like divines/elysians making older content (like kbd, kq, Chaos ele) continuously less relevant (bosses should be difficult, not farmed).

The Corp being the strongest boss is no excuse for an overpowered shield. Overpowered is overpowered. Even if it's rare, no excuse. Is a one of a kind 1-hit weapon acceptable? Of course not.

That being said, I think that the Divine Spirit Shield's damage absorb should be 15% and the Elysian should have a 70% chance of 18% damage absorb.

I think that the Arcane Spirit shield is overpowered as the mage's book gives +15 magic attack and no defense. The Arcane gives +20 magic attack and RANGE Defense. Unacceptable. The Arcane Spirit Shield should give +5 magic attack along with its other bonuses to be balanced. It'll still be popular due to it's defense and magic attack.

The Spectral Spirit Shield should be +15 magic defense. +30 is excessive, but it should be higher than the Dragonfire Shield's +10 magic defense.

These shields will still give people incentive but will not be overly convenient. Regardless of "hardest boss" or "it's super rare," balance must, must be priority.
No.
With those stats spirit shield will be a 20m split max.

Why do you only care about a price tag? That's not the point. Also 20m is fine for a top tier shield, especially for just a split. I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the
Player-Owned House Dungeon.
My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.

One thing I love about oldschool is that all the content that was 'dead' before, has once again become relevant (kbd, kq and even chaos ele eg). This is why spirit shields, to me, spirit shields are a step in the wrong direction. I think they are very overpowered, and this will make PvM'ing a lot easier, which I am in general against. I want bosses to remain difficult, not farmable.

Another thing is PvP; divine and elysian spirit shields are in no way balanced - 1 on 1 versus a divine spirit shield is straight-up pointless.
Lastly, I think it would be a mistake for the sake of malediction Ward, as spectral spirit shield would make it less relevant (as spectral spirit shield is simply a lot better).

I really want corporeal beast to be introduced, but not with the current spirit shields as drops.
You wouldn't use a divine/ely at kbd (LOL), kq (veracs or hasta+zam book), or chaos ele (bring ags and flinch it).
If someone has divine/ely, you don't have to attack them (if they want to stay unskulled) and if they skull, it's not like divines are impossible to smite :D .
Note : Malediction ward is a level 60 item that comes from demi bosses. Unless I'm wrong, it also has lower magic defence than the odium, so you're wrong again...

If I didn't care about a price tag I would be sitting around with a 5m bank. Also 20m is not fine for a top tier shield, if I wanted a terrible split I could go and trio armadyl, hilts are alot more common than sigils.

They should be dropped by team boss and not a skill/minigame reward.

But then, I don't want them.

As someone who no-lifed corp for most of his pvm time on RS I cant wait for this. My only request would be to at least spice up some drops here and there to give it little fresh feel. Dont get me wrong, I like the idea of making this 100% classic- but we could really do with a little extra added (just as you did with some other bosses in the past).

Other than that I think this is going to be the best update this game has seen since GDW was added! Im ready for my solo divine #2 :D

Voting No. Hard to be optimistic about the future of OSRS if the team can't even come up with anything original. Start bringing new ideas to the table that people would actually like...

Artisan - Failed
Bounty Hunter Rewards - Most are failing as of last checked.

All of those are Community Ideas. As in a player made the Artisan Skill and the Bounty Hunter rewards are from the community too. Both are also original. So sit down.
