So how did bloodvelds and nechs get replaced with greater variant versions when poll was 71% yes ?

It sounds like you're looking at the poll results on the website. Unfortunately these take the Skipped votes into account when calculating the percentages. The final result of that question was 84.7% in favour.

Now when you have a knife in your inventory and go to click on a web it says you need a sharp blade to cut it. The only way to cut a web now with a knife is to click the knife and use it on the web. I don't know if that was intentional or if it's been mentioned but it was very frustrating clicking the web in the forthos dungeon today for 10 minutes.. I had clan chat open and didn't understand why I couldn't cut the web.

This is caused by having a weapon without a slash bonus equipped when you try to cut the web. This is being hotfixed.

Hi I'm Death Ratios and why do you want to kill me?

It's nothing personnel.

About the question during the latest QnA regarding metamorphing the Verzik pet, why not add it as a drop at you can only get if the entire raid is deathless? That will cause for a harder challenge without having to make a challenge mode

Nice suggestion - I'll pass this on to Mod Kieren.

If it hasn't been stated yet, left clicking a web with just a knife no longer works, and you habe to manually click the knife then click the web.

Are you still having this issue? I've tried using a Knife from my inventory to left-click Slash a web and it worked. Edit: We've found the issue. If you have a weapon equipped without a Slash bonus, that fails the check and the next check to see if you have a Knife in your inventory isn't happening. This is being hotfixed.

I see a major flaw potentially in this and think it needs to be brought up. I may be mistaken as well.

Currently the new proposed change allows for bounty hunters to receive 1 point per kill. Is an emblem required to receive this point or will players be able to receive points without any risk?If no emblem is required to receive points then that is where the problem lies.

Reason of concern is that the bot farms will just have a bunch of low level 30 accounts with 0 risk, and having a couple accounts mule points off the other accounts. They essentially could easily grind points and with an average of 100K per point, an account with say 10 kills on a continuous kill streak, is already at 41 points. That is 4.1M on average and this would take little to no time to reach, especially for bot farms.

I don't think they'll be making 100k per point. If you're referring to the average cost of a crate which has been pitched at 100k, those cost 5 points. I'm open to the idea of requiring an emblem to be eligible to gain points, but it does increase the cost of playing the minigame, raising the barrier to entry for new PKers. One of our goals was to do the opposite of that.

Has there been any internal talk about changing Ironman pking? Allowing then to "destroy" tradeable items when they get kills in pvp?

As an ironman, there is really no incentive to try pvp in the wilderness, but if I could remove dropped items from the game, I feel like I would be more inclined to risk items myself.

I believe that exact idea was polled previously but didn't pass.

We've discussed this too but haven't settled on exact numbers just yet.

thoughts?

All of those ideas are viable. The rune pouch has been one of the main points of discussion since the blog was launched so we'll continue scoping out what you guys think is best overall.

This upgrade item will be available from the Bounty Hunter store for 1,250,000 Bounty Hunter points

Either someone forgot to convert that to the new point system, or Jagex really hates Gmaul rushers

This would be the cost in the meantime with the current points system before the rework is implemented (if it goes ahead).

A lot of people seem to want to have the gmaul upgrade as a grotesque guardian drop, as the boss pales in comparison to its non-boss version in value. Have you guys discussed this and how it could effect the boss and the value of the gmaul upgrade if it can be gained from a secondary pvm source?

We did discuss this idea and it certainly fits thematically. It's not off the table, but having the upgrade come from the source it's used at seemed preferable to having PvP rely on PvM in the way you're describing.

Yeah then the slay point cost of the rune pouch needs reevaluated. 1250pts is way too much if its not an alternative.

I'd be happy to re-consider the cost of the pouch in the slayer shop and discuss it with the team.

I think the issue lies with how many people use wildy slayer for rune pouch. Pretty much any iron who doesn't like/use boosting will use wildy slayer as opposed to 1250 slayer points. That's an insane amount to grind out in slayer alone, and would take much, much, longer.

The points cost of the Rune pouch in the Slayer shop can be reduced.

How does this new system lend itself to not be farmable/boostable? It seems like the point system is easier to farm than emblems.

To get the highest rate of points, you'd need to convince each of the randomly matched targets you get to sell you a kill consecutively. If they choose not to accept or you skip, you'll lose your streak and stop receiving the better rate of points.
