I feel so bad for the mods after reading that cesspool of twitter comments. How much of a low life can you be getting upset at changing the angle of boots in your inventory

TBF, I was totally expecting the backlash on the dragon boots/bandos boots as twitter is generally a lot more against change than any other platform. A little bit of 'controversy' is great for exposure and generating discussion. I was also genuinely curious how players would respond given the blatant hypocrisy of wanting one set of boots to look like boots while the others are protected by a blanket of nostalgia. Consistently inconsistent is my motto, so I suppose it works :P

Honestly, I have no problem with the look of the updated boots. I'm not sure that they're necessary, but I wouldn't mind if they were added in. What I am a little worried about is u/Mod_West 's replies saying that he doesnt think he should poll these changes. I thought unpolled changes were supposed to be reserved for integrity issues, not graphical updates. This is why we end up with dumb and unnecessary shitstorms over updated chatheads.

Not quite what I said. I was referring to the Fremmy boots being changed unpolled as they are frequently complained about not looking like boots within the inventory and have already gone through a few changes :P

As for the pre-exsiting boots (dragon/bandos), it would be safer to poll those and I can imagine it passing based on the responses I got on twitter.

So when are you hiring u/Volcaban ?

We're not hiring any artists atm, but when we are they're welcome to apply (:

OP also made a drawing with the player as a comparison.

Ah, I'd already seen that! Silly me :P

Could be sweet! Mod west pls reply with whats happening with your spellbook rework! i saw you like my tweet!

We'll likely use it as a reward from a future Kourend quest although many of the spells are unlikely to pass in their current state so it would need some revising first.

The trying to reconnect to server countdown message over and over.

Edit- must of been a quick outage but widespread, I can connect again now.

Edit2- horrible latency in every world for me even though servers are up

I've passed this on, thanks for flagging.

What messaging are you all seeing? I was just able to login on mobile (using data).

Couple of things here:

Firstly, it was never canceled. I just stopped working on it in my spare time.

The Serp helm was nerfed regardless of this quest being made by myself. We returned its strength but not its venom effect as that's what we disliked.

There isn't a gay Fremennik in this quest. Sorry to disappoint.

I think we'd like to do that if this proves successful. Perhaps a 45 defence bracket too.

This was actually in error. Upon seeing this thread I flagged the difference in stats and we realised the mistake that was made. We've amended the blog, and we're restarting the poll accordingly.
