The questions about the spirit shields are asked in the wrong manner.

Instead of
Question: Should the Spectral, Arcane, Elysian and Divine sigils and spirit shields be introduced with the Corporeal Beast with the same stats used when they were originally released in 2008?
And
Question: If the spirit shields are introduced, should the Divine spirit shield's damage reduction effect be lowered to 25% from 30%?

It should read something more like:
Question: Should the Spectral, Arcane, Elysian and Divine sigils and spirit shields be introduced with the Corporeal Beast with the same stats used when they were originally released in 2008?

Question: If the previous question DOES NOT pass, would you be ok seeing a nerfed version of the Divine spirit shield instead?


Not necessarily in them exact words, but you get my point.

As it stands, if question 1 fails, then question 2 also fails. Personally i want to see the original spirit shields, but if that question does not pass then i think we should be given a chance to see the original spectral/arcane/elysian and the nerfed version of the divine, my questions give us that chance.

- no minigames
- no pest control
- no BA
- Can't enter other POH (or use anything in it)
100% damage to receive loots (possible ironman only world without multi combat zones)
Fresh start for everyone because i think no one would meet the reqs to transfer as most people buy runes from the shop (rule mention below)


Also what about the shades of morton quest as it isn't soloble.

i think the rule "Only allowed to buy items which cannot be made or gathered as a resource from shops " is a bit harsh think about law runes or armour.

I'm thinking that as the majority of the community are wanting a fresh start from launch that is probably the way to go, but it's a discussion we can have right up until launch so keep saying what you think.

Yes, support. Nobody should be allowed a transfer.

I feel like people don't realize how few divines and elys there will be ingame....and ontop of that with ddosing the risk of using them in wildy with their high price tag

if people want corp to be done spirit shields NEED to be apart of corp, also people keep saying game doesnt need them, pvmers NEED a new pvm boss, it always makes things more active and there's one more thing to do....but in order for corp to be popular it needs to give good motivation, not having ely and divine would ruin corp.

Corp was released in 08, it's not out of it's time.

Also don't forget how hard one kill will be. No ovls turm ss gano....he's going to be VERY hard even in bigger teams

Most people saying no to Corp rather cannot do it, or do not understand balancing in the game very well imo.

Someone said there is no content to use the shields at right now. Are you crazy? Look at what people used Divine/Elysian for when they were first released;

Solo/Duo Bandos/Zamorak/Armadyl, tanking Corp when he switches to you, DKs, KQ and even pvp. You can use one of them two shields at almost every current boss in the game.

The other two were sort after as well, the Spectral is the "purple partyhat" of spirit shields, most people who bought it just to have one because it was the cheapest. Some used it for Armadyl but it wasn't effective. The Arcane's stats speak for itself as to why it was so popular.

This is the perfect time to poll Corp and the shields will add a lot to the game. The balance between how rare they are to get and the price of them is something I'm greatly looking forward too. I bought my first Divine in rs2 for just over 900m, it was a great piece of "end game" content to work towards and took quite a while to achieve the money to buy it. Right now most pvmers don't have that type of goal to push for.

As for Iron man mode, I don't have any plans, nor ever did have any plans to make one, but what was the reason for no NMZ? If I'm aware, I think most Iron men use NMZ right now? I couldn't have said it better myself. In Rs2 i was a Pvmer as i am on oldschool. I would love for this new boss to come out because as i remember being it ridiculously hard even with overloads, soulsplit, turmoil, and summoning. I really hope it passes as I am looking forward to the challenge of this new beast.

I'm confused by this point:
"Only allowed to buy items which cannot be made or gathered as a resource from shops"

Where would these items be bought from? What is an example of an item that is in this category?

I think they mean the general stores. You can't buy items people would sell to it. Only the default stuff like a bucket, tinderbox, knive.
