[@turnkey_hole]

It's a fun idea in theory, but ultimately you want your players to have buy in before you spend all that time making assets. And then you've spent all that time, it would be a shame for players to not go to the things you make.

[@platinumhunter2517]

Killing KBD in classic was extremely stressful. Even with the best gear and decent stats he could wreck you. Getting there was an entire process and by the time you go to him, you likely started using food already. I wanna say on average I would be able to get around 2 kills solo (not maxed) before having to teleport out. It was worth it to chase that sweet dragon medium though!

[@ynyable]

12 hours later update?

[@Salsmachev]

I absolutely think there should be some nice, simple oldfashioned runescape bosses. I like runescape because I can run it on a potato, I can play it casually with one hand, and I don't need any kind of manual dexterity or reflexes. It was a game for the casuals. Nowadays, every boss has to have fifteen mechanics to memorise, prayer switches, prayer flicks, equipment switches, movement mechanics... and it's just exhausting and overwhelming. It's especially annoying when it's in quests. I do quests for the story, not to get ganked by some overcomplicated ballet routine covered in mandatory tile markers. Some people seem to like that style of boss, and frankly I like watching other people do that content, but that's what raids are for. Don't push the sweaty shit on us casuals and give us some difficult but not demanding bosses so we can have fun bossing, too.

[@carefulman3673]

Bosses in quests are pretty easy lol

[@ashwinmenezes53]

THISSS Tbh Ive only recently started doing the overcomplicated ballet routine (perfectly described btw, I snorted) out of self-peer pressure that my account was going nowhere and tbh it's kinda fun in it's own way. But I totally get what you mean, I still do long for the days that RuneScape was simpler... This has probably bled over from lots of modern gaming being sweatier and competitive thanks to internet speeds getting faster.

[@Salsmachev]

@@carefulman3673 Most of them aren't. Some of the more recent ones with modern mechanics kinda suck if you're a casual like me though. I lasted about five seconds against one of the moon bosses when I tried that quest lol.

[@Salsmachev]

@@ashwinmenezes53 Yeah I feel like modern osrs bosses are what happens when people basically want WoW ability bar/AoE danger puddle stuff but don't want to admit that they want that. We resisted that kind of sweaty combat for so long, split the game over it with the evolution of combat, and now people are making OSRS just as sweaty but apparently that's fine because it isn't *technically* an ability bar. I also think there's an element of designing for the sweatiest players. Like, that's what's exciting to watch on youtube, so I think it gets undue attention.

[@erickchristensen746]

I say give us a OSRS version of the *Queen Black Dragon!* That was the last RS2 boss added prior to the RS3 transition. And the fight plays out very similar to how the newest boss fights in the last 5 years of osrs do today. Very little would need to be changed!(Minus the drops of course). Instead we got Huey which is a very "eh" dragon boss.

[@IScreamedWolf]

[@Steddyman916]

Your page is so unique, I fucking love anytime you post something. At this point it’s a must watch

[@PraetexDesign]

Easy way to update it: Add an ‘awakened’ version that sports higher stats and more modern mechanics, which in turn has a much better loot table. To access the awakened version, you’d need to kill the OG one for an item akin to the DT2 boss orbs. This way no real changes need to be made to the existing monster but he becomes relevant again.

[@spplmj2380]

Thats what RS3 did with Verak Lith who is just a reskinned KBD in Elite Dungeon 2.

[@Salsmachev]

Honestly great idea. I'd love it if every boss had two tiers: one for casuals who just want a nice simple oldfashioned boss and another for the modern sweaty boss crowd. Give the complex version better rolls on the same drop table (eg. 2x pet chance) and a unique cosmetic or ornament kit (eg. an ornament kit that turns the dragon med helm into a KBD helmet, to honour the classic KBD drop)

[@Aperson439]

So basically exactly what they did for leagues. Even down to needing an orb from regular kbd to access the fight. Even then, echo kbd is still optional and you can choose to fight the untouched og kbd

[@PraetexDesign]

@@Aperson439 Well I guess it works then

[@02bluehawk]

​@Salsmachev insted of a cosmetic to d-med what about it droping a KBD tooth or something that you can add to your slayer helm to increase the defense stats to that of the d-med as a nod to the OG. (Current slayer helm has stats of rune full helm)

[@AcesPrune]

This is why Echo bosses from Leagues should be in the main game. Obviously balanced and made appropriate for the main game, they could have, "Echo Of The King Black Dragon," and bring back his old draining capabilities, as well as fix his 3 head animation, and some other new mechanics.

[@MrFalliorsGaming]

Tbh, they could always do a Brutal KBD. Keep the original, but have an updated Brutal version so he's once again the most powerful dragon

[@Jeffrey-x6q]

Also ed2 lilith is kinda like kbd

[@RockBandRS]

I get OSRS is a game that exists purely because of nostalgia, but I don't think Jagex needs to go back and update old bosses purely because powercreep made them irrelevant. Just seems like a waste of dev time, and will set a precedent that all bosses should be updated as powercreep continues.

[@fusedqyou]

A boss not being updated has nothing to do with "abandonment". This community can have an outrage with the smallest things, and especially old content being changed will trigger it. I think KBD is actually a very good mid-level boss and still a very challenging one at that. It's just that with updated it becomes easier, and this is how it goes with anything. In a decade we'll call Vorkath forgotten and abandoned, but we will have many new great bosses instead.

[@chendz109]

OG player here, this brings back a lot of memories lmao, and was very accurate in regards to players camping out to see if higher level players would die. There was a lot of dead time waiting for high level players, and a pretty common ‘minigame’ came about where we would challenge each other to run to the other end of the lair and back (it was a tight zone and avoiding the aggro or surviving 3 rounds of combat with the KBD was hard, but the first two rows of tiles after the lever were functionally a safe zone from aggro).

[@1Psyblade1]

A suggestion I've had for something to do with KBD, was add larger quantities of the components for dragon ammo to his drop table. Between Brutal Black Dragons, Vorkath, etc. being added, you're right, there's not a lot of reason to go to KBD over anything else that'd been added since. While a mechanics overhaul might not be to our taste, we could at least establish a niche for KBD to fill -- make him the best spot to go to for something that's always in demand, dragon ammo.

[@PaupersSerenade]

So glad this video came up on my feed, looking forward to watching some more from you! In case anyone was wondering; the song at the end of the video was Centaurus by Sarah, the Illstrumentalist :)

[@OtakuWrath]

In Final Fantasy 14 the trial/boss fights have harder versions and they do this by telling the story of how you heroically defeated the boss, the bard sings the tale of your heroic battle and you "relive the battle" but it's the more dramatic retelling of how the battle originally happened. Do this in Runescape and they could keep the old fight while introducing the new Ultimate Chaos King Black Dragon with some of the most intense mechanics.

[@edaumaysol]

I don't mean to make it sound like you (video creator) don't know this (I don't know if you do or don't) but not telling players about content updates in MMOs was actually pretty common practice back in those days. MMOs weren't polished like they are now, and content didn't, at its core, take long to finish- so most of updates' appeal was part of the "hunting" for new locations, good training methods, creating player guides, etc. This made communities feel a lot more connected imo.

[@snowarmth]

The experience was more mythical, and rumored. "There's a Black Dragon in the Wilderness, we're gonna go kill it" is a badass way to start an experience.

[@SerephFreya]

I think their is a middle ground here. You make a new boss "emperor black dragon", which is heavily inspired by KBD in asthetic but takes all the modern mechanics osrs uses for bosses now. Make it the STRONGEST boss. Maybe you have to get a drop from KBD to access the Emperor Black Dragons lair. Lore wise maybe it is the KBD but in its "True" form?

[@Silver_Sun5]

[@healthyminds9279]

[@weckar]

To be fair, originally at least the very point of OSRS was that it would be an unchanging time capsule; only adding updates to patch bugs or exploits. The fact that it is now basically unrecognizable from release at all... Maybe it is time for an OSRS2, reboot harder?

[@camerynsmith9542]

I think a cool black dragon quest is in order. Imagine finding the KBD's father after all these years.

[@gamewithadam7235]

They should rework the KBD where all 3 heads attack separately and at 1/3 health lost a new head is defeated.

[@EmilyLisle]

the marriage happened to correlate a real royal wedding in the UK at the same time, there was a lot of buzz about it at the time and diango still gives the items from that event today in rs3

[@Infinicat]

I would support a KBD rework, even if it’s just a drop table update. Swap his drop table with the Brutal Black dragon table or hell even introduce a super-anti dragon fire shield exclusively dropped by him that nullifies all forms of dragon fire including blocking the freezing effect from Wyverns while still keeping the strength bonus of the dragon fire shield. This creates a simple progression and highlights the individual strengths of the wyvern and dragon fire shields as pure defensive or pure offensive off hand items respectively. And maybe that’s not even the right move, but a KBD refresh would be fun. Perhaps update his dragon fire mechanics to be more in line with how the Drake’s dragon fire works so that if you don’t click out of the way when he uses it it hits you with a massive damage splat(reduced somewhat by anti-dragon items) and if it is the green or blue variants then you take extra poison or stat drain on top of that damage. And fix the heads so that depending on which head cocks back to breath you can telegraph which type of blast it will be. Hell you could even have it so he mirrors the metal dragons where each fire type is a different attack style, blue for magic/stat drain , green for ranged/poison, orange/red for normal dragon fire. Leave out the venom and crumble undead and acid pools and he becomes a lesser form of Vorkath that is a nice simple medium-tier mechanical introductory boss ladder step that sits right above Scurrius.

[@Bathion]

Asheron's Call had the same issue with Pooky. Trust me, the having your king monster is worth it. Jagex should just change the colors on drops before and after. it gives HUGE value to those items from before they change.

[@faultgame2361]

4:45 We were literally scum until they changed how items were dropped LOL

[@Fachuro]

Sooo yeah - I remember staying home from school when the KBD was released and no - it wasnt really much of a secret, it was swarmed pretty much within the hour because people didnt rely on game maps or release posts for info anyways. Most people werent killing eachother either, only a few people were taking the opportunity to PK. Killing it was relatively simple because of the amount of players there, but whoever got tagged by it and didnt range/mage from the sides were pretty much dead. And in terms of loot, at the time whoever got the drop wouldnt be announced in chat so noone would know, and it wasnt even based on doing the most damage but rather just having the last succesful hit - which meant anyone at any level could get lucky really...

[@I_hunt_lolis]

10:32 and that's the only reason I'm hunting for a KBD head drop. Want to mount it in my house for nostalgic reasons. Same reason I have the "Old Demon Mask". I wish there was a way to enable old NPC models from 2004-2006. Honestly KBD does not need major overhaul, it only needs a drop table buff to make it worth while and no sub 1 M dragon pickaxe does not cut it...

[@Cristian-t2j]

I got 70 of those heads

[@JordanPierce-k8i]

Thanks for dropping this while I farm slayer tasks in leagues ❤

[@CainRG1]

If you've seen what they did for echo bosses in the league, I'd like them to do something like that for older bosses like KBD and KQ. So you can choose to fight the normal version, but once you get a certain drop you can unlock the option to fight an updated version with better combat mechanics and loot. Then the original boss can still be preserved and everybody's happy, right?

[@uuhamm]

Honestly I think we need more quirky oldschool bosses like kbd. I think they are the kind of boss that makes osrs fun. It's just a unique really high level monster with simple mechanics that doesn't really have much else to it and doesn't print supplies as drops.

[@ilikecake683]

Brutal King Black Dragon on the way? He certainly deserves a bit more love.

[@alexbrennan5985]

I always do KBD on black dragon tasks for the pet chance. Makes me feel cool since I could never beat it as a kid

[@Abionx]

they could simply just turn it into a f2p boss and make visage/dfs also free to play, basically would be the toughest f2p boss around with a new bis shield to boot. or could just keep the dfs/visage as members only and just add something new to it as a means to make it desired to kill the boss as a f2p player, also making the pet the only f2p pet would be cool too.

[@NEWGHOST9]

9:01 they probably didnt remove it because it’s much harder to remove something entirely than to leave it in the game

[@MithDragon]

If you haven't seen echo KBD yet, check it out. Definitely a very fun variation of the boss. I would love to see it in the main game.

[@PainSandwich]

I actually have a f2p account where I’m trying to buy a bond with gp just to see how doable it is, I just need a few more quests and a couple more combat levels and I think I can get him I’ve actually never fought kbd since back in the day everyone told me to skip it since it wasn’t worth even getting to the fight so this was some useful info, thanks

[@failproductionsdk]

[@jamesvivian2855]

Maybe give the KBD a challenge mode where you fight a reworked version of him that’s heavily powered up? It doesn’t replace the original but also gives him a new life

[@josephmarzak4153]

Add a few new drops to KBD that makes the draconic visage even better and turns it into a black/dark version, black dragon boots, and a black d hide cape that adds prevention to dragon breath... Or something new to its drop table with new mechanics.

[@BushidoCypher]

Love me the KBD, I still have a video somewhere on YT of KBD that I used for a "How To" project in school and I got an A+ and extra credit and it's bad lol I recently got 99 magic and was using magic back then as a kid and the gear I was using.. God so so bad. Awesome video as always!

[@Darklordiban7]

I think the obvious solution is to expand. KBD isn't really the "king" - whoever first found KBD called it that, but it's actually just a black dragon that pissed off a witch or something. There's an actual King Black Dragon even deeper in the wilderness that fits the niche as the new strongest boss.

[@HarmonyOfTheVoice]

The osrs character in POH with black partyhat was better imo. Again, no offense to you! I think its just the osrs style, maybe it breaks the illusion that all we are adults now.

Yeah i really don't think they should change 20+ year old legacy content too much. Fiddle with drops or add fun uniques maybe, but otherwise he's fine just chilling there.

Your videos brought me back to RuneScape after quitting in 2009 at rank 100-200 of the high scores. Unfortunately, I quit because of being hacked while at college and the hacker botting on my account, having it rolled back by some percentage of my XP. It made me realize it was like playing an elder scrolls game where your save could be erased at any point. And I think the lack of customer support still exists today 🙄

I’ve never played RuneScape but I love this channel!!!

[@AverageRunescaperOfficial]

Great video man! Watched it all :D

[@Ironhide16]

This is the first time I’ve ever actually immediately paused a video, open its sponsored ad, and got something from it. The second I saw that Jad I had to have it

[@85jacob85]

Wow, those osrs merch looking good

[@jevonp]

Not so much abandoned as power crept without wanting to get rid of the old boss

[@michaelortiz2191]

WHAT ABOUT MERODACH?!

[@RedSolocupRS]

If anything they should do an homage and make like a new city of KBD cultist that make him more powerful with a ritual that makes him the Godly Black Dragon, GBD, if you will, with a whole revamped over powered drop table. Maybe som new BIS gear?

[@barfnugz]

Idk dude. The echo version of this boss in leagues is a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind having the option to fight it in the main game.
