The Content We Never Got In OSRS - Game-Changing Failed Polls

I remember killing corp for months to get a Divine, but all I got was an Arcane. Those were the days man haha

[@ieatslag5947]

[@thewarrio332]

Thanks you polls, sorta sad about sailing the sailing skill ... Imagine being able to explore islands and killing those unique monsters

[@jjames619]

Sailing will one day be the thing that grows osrs... As in a new map.. You sail to places that are totally different And over time new islands will be created... Expanding the game exponentially

[@PzPewwi]

[@Rockthedice]

Thank you poll. I sort of wish warding passed. Or used it as an expansion to Rome crafting.

[@mjsvitek]

Yeah, it would have been a great addition to RC - I'm pretty sure most people also argued that point tho; that the things they were proposing were great, just not needing a new skill when Runecrafting is so damn useless as is.

We don’t need a new skill. We have many useless ones

[@patscapep11]

Thank you polls! I wasn't around for the artisan poll, but I'd have easy voted "yes" for it.

[@Prilosac]

The reason we were against the melee accuracy offhand was mostly because it was essentially a direct buff to the DWH which it didn't really need

[@MilkyWayHeroz]

this just reminded how sick the warding cape looked and how much i liked the idea of the skill

[@piroslovag7456]

Warding sounds like a mix of the invention and Divination skills to me.

[@limecat7996]

I imagine it could of been pretty good. Maybe even stabalize the market and add value to old items if it worked similar to invention. Only real thing to spend money on is new items when they come out. And if your maxed and don't pk or stake the gp just piles up.

[@aforima]

Warding just made so much sense, way more than most ideas for skills and the only one I was legit excited for when I heard it.

[@santiagog246]

[@apasserby9183]

If you want a game with RS3's mechanics and design decisions, then, rather than playing Oldschool RuneScape, which has a community mostly made of players that quit RS3 to get away from RS3 mechanics and design decisions, it would be more conducive for you to play RS3 than try to turn OldSchool into RS3. Also, how are you calling other people "no brain" when there's literally a game with all the things you want and you're choosing to play the older, "worse" version of it that you don't enjoy? go play rs3

[@mr.noname9416]

@@apasserby9183 The reason people quit RS3 is because the MTX and EOC. 2008-2012 RS was the best era of RS with great quests and updates to the game. OSRS isn't getting any of those updates because of the mentality, you guys scream and burn down everything if a update increases the exp/h by 1k.

[@wabbajedda]

Runescape is spilt between skillers and fighters. If the skillers vote no on PvP updates the PvP community come back just as hard.

[@equintox26]

Thank you polls! I would have loved the divine shield because back in the days it was always my goal to have one but i could never manage to get it as a kid.

[@Claybowlz]

I'm pretty sure that the reason that the offhand melee weapon failed was because it was literally just a buff to the dragon warhammer. There was basically nowhere else it would have been useful

[@castroeddits]

We demand new content!* * Make sure that content doesn't ad somthing to overpower like, you know, marginal numbers above current meta, thats disgusting. So, you have to make it just as good, or even weker (+a gimmick), as what we have... but be careful it doesn't become irrelevant! ... And we probably will kicked it out of the game in the polls anyway. Good luck.

[@fabricatedlightning1158]

Exactly, people are so worried about power creep but they fail to consider how difficult it must be to add new content to cram inti the skill and item levels we have rn

[@ryty2700]

Part of the reason I quit OSRS. They'll literally nerf shit that's been in the game for awhile, and then release "new content" that's pretty much (or even worse) than what the nerf shit was before and then call it a day lmfao. Rinse and repeat, and I wouldn't doubt if they somehow decide to nerf GWD armor so that they can add "new armor."

[@fabricatedlightning1158]

@@ryty2700 they just need to go ahead and add gear beyond tier 75 which is the maximum it is rn, and then release some new content like raids 3 or something to get it

[@uberweeblord]

I play on a private server that actually has the divine spirit shield in it. The shield sells on the ge for a little bit less than an ely and 9/10 time people take an ely over a rivine because of the rate it drains your prayer

[@clearthoughts44]

Thank you polls! Pking with korasi was my favorite back in the day. Sad to see it won't be coming back

[@Nick-ij5nt]

I don't care about like 99% of this stuff, but I really don't understand how being able to have multiple clue scrolls would be over powered. I genuinely thought that was how the game worked for a long time tbh. They should implement a system where you get "unopened clue scrolls" as drops and then when you open one you can't open any more from that tier scroll that way you can't do multiple clues at the same time but you also don't need to stop what you're doing every time you get a clue.

[@Borchert97]

You're mostly correct about the Divine, it would not have seen any more use than the Elysian does. It wouldn't be preferable in scenarios like GWD where the prayer drain over the course of a 2 hour trip is going to add up to a lot of wasted Prayer for little actual benefit, it wouldn't even extend your trips, it would actually shorten them since the factor that normally decides when your trip ends is Prayer. The Divine would mostly be a shield for the Wilderness, and I could see it being used to carry players through solo or duo CMs or ToB, as well as Inferno.

[@xSkullerx]

thank you polls, wanted divine shield cuz it would be so flex to have 1

[@sup_my_bwana]

Meh, was a little OP and uggy. Elly is better for fashionscape flexing and divines effect would make inferno significantly easier.

[@maniacmatt7340]

thank u polls. I think tier 80 or 90 gear would be cool. mightbe tough to implement tho

[@mannyfernandez6795]

thank you polls. Divine could have been a nice addition/counter balance to elysian and bring about a meaningful buff for spectral/arcane

[@RazorDevil1]

i think players just want their time in this game to mean something. like why grind hundreds of hours getting bandos armour, or doing tob for the avernic just for them to release even more op items that you have to grind for again. rather i like what they did with certain items like the avernic where it will just attach on to your already in game dragon defender. or cerberus's crystals or the guardian boots. stuff like that is cool where it basically upgrades gear that was already in the game. they need to add more stuff like that locked behind tough/fun bosses, that wont take away from the grind already in the game.

[@icenote1591]

[@zordor6741]

Some interesting things they could implement with raids 3 could give an untradeable item way to upgrade barbarian potions to 2 dose super prayer/super stamina/extreme att str def magic ranged etc that also have the healing effect barbarian potions usually have, this would give barbarian potions a niche but also keep these potions only avaliable to players who can finish the raids. It could also include item sink high level prayer scrolls that take so many typical PVM items and $$ to get an NPC to agree to "translate" them for you which might include Soul-split lite, enhanced protect item that allows you to choose priority of items saved upon death, Enchanced Redemption that can be activated without overhead prayer and teleports you to your respawn instead of healing you, and also an enhanced version of retribution that activates every time the player loses 25 hp or more with the prayer up (still an overhead), a prayer that increases the power of Arceus spell effects, a prayer that increases damage to all undead, vampyres,abyssal creatures, and lizardmen

[@8beef4u]

Divine is substantially better than the elysian in many situations where you need food, since brews heal a max of 16 and restores can heal double that. There's a reason it didn't make it's way into the game. Also judgement could be used in between prayers for off tick melee and dwh specs. It was also pretty op

[@m0002856]

I really don’t know why the melee offhand failed the poll. It wouldn’t have replaced the defenders as best in slot items. It was only going to provide accuracy stat but no defensive or melee strength stats. I guess maybe people were afraid they would have to carry this offhand for the dragon warhammer spec attacks? Like use this when you spec and swap back to the reg defender after

I like that they've been taking ideas they've had with Warding and incorporating them in other ways at least, which may be part of why some people think it didn't need to be a new skill. Like the way Bloodbark and Swampbark are created now seems to make a lot of sense within the game as it is now without needing a new skill for it.

I play a lot of RS3 so having a soft cap on clue scrolls is pretty nice. I don't always feel like doing clues but I tend to do like 20+ when I'm in the mood. I would probably never do them if I could only keep one in my bank, so I barely ever do them in OSRS.

[@longview3k69]

Korasi Sword was definitely too busted back then because it was a quest reward, but I'm pretty sure PvP people denied that because even if it passed and became an extremely rare item, it would change the PvP meta drastically. Divine Spirit Shield seems pretty busted to me as a slight percentage increases can lead to major shifts as well. I never used it in RS2 because I was too poor to afford one. I feel like this would've been an expensive Bulwurk honestly. Warding Skill looked really cool the third time around but the nostalgia got a hold of most people and kept denying the skill. I would've loved to see the skill develope and actually have more Diverse armor for Magic. IMO, the Vestia weapons should stay in Deadman Mode just to hold back the Power Creep just a little longer. Also we do need a reworked Bounty Hunter.

People who complain about the lack of content don’t have an inferno cape, don’t have a max cape, and barely have any PVM boss kills above 100 or if they do are the brain dead ones. Usually these players don’t even have a quest cape or unlocked all diary achievements. The complainers are the one that get tired of grinding at Lv.90 and want something new b/c they hate how slow their progress is. They want something new to feel like they are doing something with their account.

[@Terry-rb2br]

Thank you polls. Let's be real OSRS won't get most content updates. 1) High lvl PVM can get boring real quick if you don't like raiding. Solo bosses are fun but depending on the time that you are available to play most worlds would prolly be full or you would get crashed by a group of players. 2) New skills won't pass because of "muh nostalgia" Warding was a good idea that could've given us cool new magic armor sets. Smithing could be updated so that we could make cool tank armor with it being a kinda worse version of barrows armor so that barrows armor still has a use. You didn't get the tank legs that you need for a boss fight? Just make your own and get barrows later when you have the GP to buy it! Range armor has the same armor but color shifted until you get to crystal or armadyl armor. Magic armor is litteraly; Nothing > Mystic > Ahrim > Ancestrals. And prayer armor is good imo since it is used to afk less engaging content like slayer. Plus the dev team is way too slow on making new stuff for the game, the last BIG PVM update ( that uses non recycled content) was TOB. Oh wow Hardmode Nightmare lemme just do the same stuff that I did at normal nightmare but faster and I get hit a bit harder. In general ""HARDMODE / CHALLENGE MODE"" means do the same sh!t you did at normal mode but the bosses have more HP and nothing new happens.
