I will be really deterred from playing this game if the community does not let new GOOD content pass the polls.

I am looking forward to corp and really would like to see some great end game content come to fruition.

For all the people out there really worried about the shields having a huge (When I say huge I am talking to the extent in which the people against Sp Shields claim) impact on the game - they won't. Why?

- They are incredibly rare shields
- They will be worth a lot of money

These 2 factors would discourage players from using these in PvP for at least a very long time. Someone carrying a 1-2b shield is not going to waste their time fighting someone who isn't risking a lot of wealth either. So anyone really going on about PvP really should not vote no for this purpose if that is the only concern.

Corp was released in 08, it's not EoC content and I really wish people stopped comparing corp to EoC.

Additionally, I would have very much liked the crush weapon added to the drop table too (new warhammer please :( ), but I would much prefer to keep the spirit shields as they were (divine and ely in particular).

Good job to the development team with more (hopefully) additional and impressive content to the game.


There is a such thing as safe PvP, you know, minigames like clan wars, castle wars, etc. The shields are very *P in SAFE PvP. That is why I feel they need to only affect one corner of the triangle at a time with their passives (instead of the nerf to divine). The reason people felt they were so OP was because it allowed you to tank EVERYTHING to a ridiculous extent. If effective hybrids could get through the shields, there wouldn't be nearly as many complaints. Making content that is best in slot for all 3 styles of combat needs to be done EXTREMELY carefully, and divine/ely weren't the first time around. Don't let it happen again.

Well, luckily these minigames have no real purpose or impact on the real game, nor would the addition of these shields be a huge game changer. Most people with these shields would use them for, I assume, mostly PvM.

lol, what next... claws and vesta/statius ****? why do some of you guys want to make this an EoC V2? I vote no.

Vesta/statius already failed, claws didn't make runescape into eoc. Therefore, your point is invalid.

My point is that claws ruined the game (like eoc did), same goes for spirit shields.

We all saw last night that the spirit shields look amazing but that they are not at all common. In around 1100 kills Mod Ronan didn't even get a spectral or arcane. Corp can be profitable because of its small drops (most of which are not split when in a high level team, except maybe onyx bolts/cballs?)
Imagine how long it would take to get a sigil, if 1 kill takes 2-4 minutes on 07, not many sigils will be coming into the game.

My apologies if this has already been answered (skimmed through the thread first), but with the
Divine spirit shield
: what happens if you don't have any prayer points when you take damage, or the 50% that is drained is higher than your remaining prayer points? Do you take the full/revised damage (IE. the special no longer takes effect)?


Just to answer this for you - no it doesn't, you need prayer points for the DSS to work.
