Others:
The toggle for log in/out button should have been polled originally, if this doesn't pass it'd be annoying. The reality is that some people will think this update is removing what just happened and will vote no. Please be very specific with the fact it's a toggle in the poll
Keep lumbridge without the back exit, it's something that is special to old school and keeps it old. RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

You don't actually...
But i'm sad about that

If they work like Christmas Cracker, then I see no reason not to remove trade option, it will also work as ironman recognition.

(It's been a while since I did Shield of Arrav and Heros quests).

Slay Helm - Retaliating to a warning from a moderator to simply continue to flame and target said moderator is not appropriate. FMods assist to help make the forums less hostile and a friendly place to chat, so flaming them for attempting to help diffuse a situation isn't appropriate.

You've now been given some time away from the forums, as you've continued this behavior even after being asked not to. Jagex may be in contact with you regarding your recent conduct here.

Someway to ID a ironman should be there, so people won't ask for trades
and so a lvl 100 running around in full rune and a d scim wont be ragged on for having 'noob' gear or anything
just something so you dont have to say "im an iron man", people just know, where its by chat icon, removal of trade option or w/e

taking away shop items (that wernt sold by other players) is really....not cool imo

i mean you wont have(good) teles till 54 RC w/o being able to buy law runes, which means you'll have to walk everywhere cause you prolly wont have 52 herblore either

Voting no to all.

Corp/Shields - Divine is OP; it is a 43.33% reduction in dps for the player/boss not using Divine. This is going to make previous bosses much easier than they are. A shield that reduces dps this much seems like it should be a level 90 defense shield.
How are we supposed to add better shields if we bottleneck shield equips to the level 75 Divine? THINK about the future before voting yes because it is NOT going to change once it is in the game.

Not to mention, spirit shields added as they were will devalue Malediction/Odium which was just introduced. Spectral/Arcane signal should have been add-ons to Malediction/Odium to keep demand for Wilderness shields. Spectral should have been given a +15 range bonus also. Divine/Elysian should have been suggested in the poll in a similar fashion.

Blessed spirit shields (probably stabilizing around 900k/nondegradable and no quest requirements) will also devalue crystal shields which is degradable, costs more, requires multiple quests, and has worse stats.
I DO NOT want more useless equipment that was rampant pre-eoc. No one used crystal shields after regular/blessed spirit shields were introduced.

Iron-man mode

Pures/skillers limit themselves but when content for Pures/Skillers are polled they fail because they choose those limits.

Iron-man also limit themselves by not trading players/following other rules. It does not need its own mode because a few streamers did it. It is nothing more than a fad.
If content for Pures/skillers is going to fail because they choose limits, this should end up the same way.

I'm gonna have to vote no to corp and spirit shields, and i know yall won't respect my opinion, but-
-When corp was added, that's when i feel like the game started taking a turn for the worse. If u want corp there's always RS3.
-Ofc all you die-harders, maxed accs etc want new things. well, play the game more relaxed e.g. not more than 5 hours a day, and you won't have completed absolutely everything by now. Most of you will vote yes because you've already rinsed the game for all it's got. Once again that's what RS3 is for imo. OSRS is about quality not quantity.
-I know the spirit shields won't get much pvp action so im not too unhappy there. But i do like the dfs being the greatest shield, and the fact that you can have incoming damage be reduced by 30% even 25% is ridiculous no matter the enemy, or the price. Arcane will also be the downfall of the malediction ward, which was only released a few months ago, further adding to the failures (imo) of the wilderness rejuvination, and more dead content after only a few months, despite all the developing time jagex put into it. But once again you bangouts (i.e. maxed after a year) have already reaped it for all its profits within such a short space of time. Okay to start off Corp was released in September 2008 only a year off when this game is backed up from. This was definitely one of the best times in the game , Corp didn't bring the game down it brought it up with a very difficult boss compared to all other bosses and have players a challenge, a boss they could die at even with a lot of experience.

Second of all the malediction ward and other shields prices won't waver AT ALL. Consider Shields will be hundreds of millions of gold and 95% of players won't be able to afford it.
Corp is something this game needs, in about a year or so when everyone is done with slayer nothing else in this game will bring excitement, everything will just be boring and old news.

Any chance of splitting the Elysian poll off as well?

There have been no real complaints about the power of the Elysian since the first few Corporeal Beast dev blogs. I wouldn't expect to see it split off.

It wouldn't hurt at all to separate the Elysian though - in fact Corp+shields might be more likely to pass if you poll Arcane/Spectral, Elysian, and Divine separately. I loved the Spectral and Arcane shields but I'm still hesitant to vote them in because they're lumped with the Elysian.

Following Psychic's mathematical approach, Elysian reduces the opponent's DPS by (1/0.75) * 70% = 23.33%. In other words you have to deal 23.33% more damage to counteract the Elysian's long-term defensive effects, not to mention Elysian's reasonable chance at saving you from short-term high bursts of damage (e.g. big AGS specs). It's very powerful and clearly on a different tier than Spectral/Arcane, so it makes sense to poll it separately.

Ironman mode sounds good though.

I like this. It seems more balanced with Corporal Beast and the drops. Though again I think that the Oldschool Team should stick with fresh and new ideas. I'm fine with Corporal Beast being added into the game, for sure. But I feel that, like some others mentioned that the shields would be mainly for the rich kids. I think the drop rate should be changed slightly.

Other than that I think the ironman idea is good and I might try it out i might try it out in the future but the fact that you cannot use a bank and teleports seems really weird, I'm fine with no teleportation but how on earth are ironmen supposed to bank items?
Though I would like to see a Ultimate Ironman get to max, that would be insane!

Anyways thats all, thanks for your time ^_^
