I definitely agree that the shields are way to op and I will be voting no to all aswell. If it does go through jagex u better add the dragon claws with 50% usage of spec.

So you don't want spirit shields, but if they go through you're more than happy for claws to come in?
Nice logic...

I just had a great idea regarding the different modes of Iron Man.

When you start your account on Tutorial Island, there should be one last NPC after the wizard that you talk to about which game mode you want to play on.

The options should be:

[ ] Regular Mode - Ability to trade with and work together with other players.
[ ] Iron Man Mode - Not allowed to trade with or work together with other players.
[ ] Hardcore Iron Man Mode - Upon death, player starts from level 3 with original items received after Tutorial Island. highscores are based on total level and experience, your score is recorded each time you die, and you keep the best score on the highscores.
[ ] Insanity Iron Man Mode - Same as Hardcore, but you are unable to use banks, or let NPC's note items for you.

There should then be an NPC Guide in Lumbridge who you can go to to change your game mode at any time. (This will reset your bank and levels and will delete Highscore Information pertaining to Regular and Iron Man modes. (Since Hardcore and Insanity Iron Man Mode highscores are attempt based highscores, you will keep these scores))

Let me know what you think.

Edit: You could just put the Game Mode Guide in Lumbridge to speed up dev. time.

your right because its not like people already rush you by barraging and specing a 76 with an ags or getting d bow rushed. As a maxed main i need a new monster to kill that has great drops because getting zerk rings and whips is just boring after a while. Will be a sad day if sigils dont pass

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?

Thanks for making Corp dead content. No way this will gather 75% support. You didn't use this tactic for polling Godwars/godswords. Godswords would of never gained 75% support if polled separately like you're doing with spirit shields.

Corp needs to be polled like Godwars was for the Original corp + drops as one question.

I only came back to OSRS for Corp, Now it seems its gonna be dead content. Also gf October 11th release.

Hopefully the team reconsiders polling Corp in its original form...

3.) Divine Spirit Shield kept as is, as well as the others. Mod Reach has expressed an interest in Elite PvM and Raids. When I say Elite, I do not mean Corporeal. Hell, even Nex would be the tip of the iceberg. Think of a boss that is grim to the bones and will hunt you down in its dungeon? Think of advanced AoE combat and minions, more advanced than Nex? Now reflect: Yes, we need higher tier gear to be ready for the future. If any item gets too strong, counter gear, consumables or other options can be added!

Omg stop it! You're getting me over excited <3333

This is the potential of the game. It is also heavily being held back by the poll system which multiple moderators have assured me is going to be addressed. The future of the game is more important than making a minor 24% happy.

Yes, the quote I gave is what the game has a potential to be. & Dan made a very heroic quote saying he's here to make a mark in Runescape history. I'm sure he will do what is best for Old School.

This is my worry too. I see no benefits to continue the game lately and have been on a 3 month break. I will be leaving if Corporeal Beast does not make it into game. I would come back and give them a 2nd chance if a bigger and better Elite solo boss or elite raids are polled.

I am not willing to play a game where 24% of the community can come in and take the future away from us. This is a disturbed style of game play that we the players, have come to used to, and we the players are the ones who suffer the consequences of this.

I love this idea, and even though I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours into my account I prefer that we all start fresh. It'll be really exciting like when old school first launched, people competing for ranks in the first days. I agree that monsters should be killed 100% by you to receive a drop, and I'm 100% in favor of everyone starting over and nobody transferring just to make it completely fair.

I'll be waiting for ironman mode before I start playing again.

I've made it clear on my POV with Iron Man's. Although I view them a waste of dev time, I admit this could be helpful. I am sick of the "OP" comments every time we want to give Runescape a future with new gear or PvM. If we force players to solo the biggest and baddest of PvM's monsters... maybe then will they appreciate advancing the game.

Although, the poll system is still something I expect Jagex to address. I also expect it to be done professionally. We did not choose the number and 70% (what Mat K proposed on stream) is too high. You must factor biases, majority rule (you are hurting up to 70% of your entire base for a minor 30) and you must factor the well-being of the game. How can you advertise a game that is not developed? How can a game have a future at all if it is denied at 70% of the polls.

I will not reveal my major key points until my thread is up. I already have Jmods agreeing. I will however state, in case one is reading, the importance that this does NOT get turned into a 75% poll to pass "lowered poll rates." This would never work out. I deem this the most important poll in Old School history and if it is not treated as such, we will suffer long term consequence.

Sorry, ramble ramble. I am mad that this wasn't addressed before BH and Corporeal Beast. It wont until Runefest, according to Ash.

+1

5.5K Brews and 1.5K Super Restos all for me and my partner. We share our supplies back and forth. I hope this will get us something!!! I didn't spend 100m on all the gear and pots for NOTHING!!

I AM EXCITED. I hope to see Reach pull through with Elite PvM and Raids soon ;o. His concept art has my ******* in a jumble.
