Possibility of GWD?


Koldes2

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I know that GWD was introduced into the game shortly after this current OS version of RS was cached. I've seen people say before that theoretically, GWD is not off the table in regards to updates.

 

What do you guys think the chances are that GWD would get voted in? I feel like it'd either happen right away, or not for a very long time (if people were to get tired of the existing end game content.)

 

I'm not necessarily asking what opinions are if it SHOULD be implemented, but, rather, what the chances are.

Less no lifing this time around. Thanks a lot, adulthood.

It will most likely be put up for voting.

 

Community seems split down the middle on the subject though from what I've seen, I don't think it would get 75% support honestly.

With some additional work from our game engine team, we're pretty sure we could offer you the following content that was added to RuneScape after the archive point of OldSchool RS:
  • The God Wars Dungeon
  • The Varrock Achievement Diary
  • Land of the Goblins (the penultimate Zanik story)
  • Path of Glouphrie (including its Slayer creatures)
  • The ZMI Altar

It seems that GWD was only put in a few weeks after this 'save' point.

 

No big deal imo,possibly put in without Godswords? Is such a thing even possible? (Dont need BGS and AGS hitting 70+'s) but i would like the armour for training.

It would devalue dragon armor and once again bandos will be the one and only armor for any pvm in the game, save a few niche roles.

 

I'd rather not see GWD in the game, it was one of the first updates that threw so many things off balance...

 

I will be voting no.

I'd vote yes, currently there is no high level content to aim for at all

A money pouch would be cool. So would a remote price checker. But honestly I'm thinking an insta-Jcoins-market. LOW ON PRAYER AND DONT LIKE XP WASTE?! BUY AN ULTRA PRAYER RESTORE POTION INSTANTLY FOR JUST 75 CENTS! STAY AT BANDOS ALL DAY/AS LONG YOU HAVE MONEY!

I want GWD eventually, but I'd like to see them wait 6-8 months before any vote then another month to launch. That way the economy can get in order with current boss drops before we add in a whole new set of items. Also by then I'm sure pkers will want AGS.

It will absolutely not pass a 75% vote. More than 25% of players will never be able to fight in GWD or afford/equip an item. Plus there's a huge crowd of "NO CHANGE EVER" (Tab to reply and roof removal got like 13% no...) Plus there are a huge group of people such as pures that hate the possibility of the DDS not being the only OP weapon in the game.

 

It's an update that is very slightly bad or mediocre to most players, and extremely important to the remaining minority. I really hope jagex realize this and don't put it to a 75% poll. I'll be really upset if it's given a definite no. Zerk rings will be like 2k each as PVMers will have nothing else to do.

yeah I think along with the 13% NO UPDATE EVAR ALL CHANGE BAD only needing 12% of people to oppose GWD itself will mean it won't get 75%.

Who knows though, and Jagex might let it though with like 65-70.

Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod!

The dds is only op to pures... its harmless to most players with any kind of defence levels or bonuses honestly. It's also very erratic.

 

Also zerk rings will never go that low, pkers and slayers won't allow it. Thats near recoil prices and zerk rings are a lot more useful in many more situations.

Not true AT ALL. I got killed by 30-30+ specs MANY times as a maxed tank ranger with Torags helm, V skirt, rune kite, etc.

Mostly depends on their att level. If a PKer only has 60-70 attack, yeah the DDS is less of a threat (if you're a tank). But by the time I was a maxed tank, everybody was 90+ att, at which point the DDS was a huge threat. I'd rather have an opponent with 99 str and lower att than 99 att and lower str.

Mabye it was the armor, you have to remember although you're wearing barrows gear, any ranged armor will be a weak link at those lvls. Full torags or dh is hard to hit through with a low atk bonus weapon like a dds when everyone has 80+ def.

DDS destroys mains. The only reason I don't use it more often vs dharoks is because it's similarly low accuracy brother, granite maul, is more dangerous in the typical none-death match fight.

 

I'd always use a granite maul over a godsword with dharoks, in fact.

Why mine and smith addy bars? I can just kill avaniese!

 

Why WC, fletch, and alch yew longs? I can just kill spirit mages!

 

Why learn to merchant? I can just kill bandos!

 

Why make money and other way? I can just GWD for a lost more money a lot faster!

 

No. No no no no no no no!

 

They wrecked the game

I agree with this one, making the bars such a common drop was a flaw and should be changed.

Why WC, fletch, and alch yew longs? I can just kill spirit mages!

Because Spirit mages give nothing worth obtaining? Dboots? I don't see how they relate. And making the same item a billion times to turn it into magic money does NOT sound like a good game mechanic, killing stuff to get their cool loot sounds way cooler.

Why learn to merchant? I can just kill bandos!

You can do both. And again, merching is very clearly way way less of the intended gameplay than killing a big boss is. Plus merching will always be infinitely better money.

Why make money and other way? I can just GWD for a lost more money a lot faster!

This is because the players find the GWD drops more valuable as they enjoy combat and not enough players obtain the GWD drops while billions of bots fletch and alch and run nature runes making them relatively worse.

No. No no no no no no no!

Yeah.

Aviansies were around 1M/hr if done properly. Kree was WAY more than that (I could get a 30-40M hilt split WAY quicker than 30-40 hours of aviansies). Prior to that, it was very difficult for your average player to earn more than 300k/hr.

 

GWD unbalanced everything. Not saying that everything was "perfectly balanced" prior to GWD, but GWD did nothing to help.

 

They wrecked the game

They made the game.

 

 

They made the game into PvMscape. No, they didn't "improve" PvM. They shoved it down our throats, replaced all other forms of moneymaking, and further degraded PvP.

 

Go get 99 in every combat skill and max out your equipment and then say you're bored with nothing to do. As I've said before, boredom is your problem, not Jagex's.

Jagex are an entertainment provider that we pay money to so their player's boredom is certainly their problem.

 

And all this price nonsense when you realise it's all player assigned. The AGS was only worth 120m as players decided it should be. (FYI this was in the era that you lost stuff for good on death in PVP, in the current game it just goes from 1 player to the next and piles up till every player has an AGS or 2.)

 

The reason GWD was good money is because noobs and bots couldn't do it. The alch value of the drops was relatively low.

 

Runescape without PVM is just PVPscape. Or "lol i got a 99 firemaking, I'm not entirely sure why."

If unids didnt get in, GWD probably wont get in

You must be new here.

Meant to say grimy

Herbs were grimy on release, but reverted by popular demand.

(Admittedly they were still using their unid inventory icons, but still.)
