I don't think it's fair to compare my first impressions to a question on a Q&A to a fully fleshed out design which has been explained to me in-person by the designer himself.

I do think Boss slayer has potential, also the opinions of a single JMOD never represent the entire team and opinions can always change.

It's worth mentioning that the concept was still selected by the team and feedback into the design was given by many on the team, myself included.

I'd ask that you guys give us a chance to make amendments to the blog based on the feedback you guys have given, I know Arcane has been very busy reviewing and deciding the changes he would like to make to it.

I appreciate you responding to this since it would have been much easier to ignore it, your guys' communication with us is always great, and I believe you care about what's best your game than any other development team I've come across. Whatever the outcome of this is, please tell Arcane to not let the criticism get him down too much and that it's great that he already has a big project he's spearheading only a couple months into the job. I'm excited to see what he has in store in the future.

No problem! And I'll pass on the message although speaking from experience it's very easy to take criticism personally for a project you've worked on.

There's been a lot of great feedback and I'd like to think that we can come to a middle ground which addresses the majority of the players concerns with boss slayer

If its been fully fleshed out could we get some more details on the suggestions then? I dont really feel comfortable voting on something that weve been told so little about how the details will be implemented

I'm hoping an update to the blog will help address this, but I can't speak for what Arcane is planning to change personally

this is a shit angle to design from.

A first project should never be CHANGING THE PVM BOSSING META.

also why are we STILL addding to slayer. Just fix skills that have needed a rework for years. Hell take off resources on bosses. Though I know you will never respond because I'm sure there is some reason Jagex has ruined (almost) all skilling money methods.

I think that's perhaps where some of the issue lies. The idea as I understood it was to be a different way to do slayer and not a new meta where everything else is obsolete. Sort of like how you can choose between Konar, Duradel (and technically Nieve/Steve)
