Old School Runescape
runescape mobile gold, the
antiquated model of Runescape that still looks and plays like the game I
sank countless hours in to when I actually should have been studying,
is obtaining a raid. Its next raid, as it happens: The Theatre of Blood.
A good raid requires good rewards, therefore when the Theatre of Blood
was declared late last year, players were anxious to see what clearing
the multi-man challenge could make them. Jagex reacted with Justicar
armor, a brand new best-in-slot armor place (above). There was one small
problem: gamers absolutely hated it.
They memed on it so hard
that Jagex is now completely changing the armor's design. And not only
that, the artist behind the Justicar armor,"Mod West," is using layouts
submitted and voted on by players. Almost all of Old School Runescape's
upgrades undergo participant polls, but that is the first time a suit of
armor has been forged in a fire of memes.
The irony is that
while players loathed the'closing' armor shown earlier this year, they
adored the prototypes revealed while the raid was declared. Originally,
the Justicar armor was bulkier and part of a trio of armor sets, West
informs me, but as the Theatre of Blood moved from obscure concept to
actual content, the armor changed with it. Participants said there was
enough DPS gear but insufficient tank equipment, so it had been narrowed
down to only 1 armor set. And when they were just going to use one set,
Jagex guessed they might as well create a new one based on the armor
worn by the raid's huge bad.
"We believed changing it up a bit
made sense," West says,"but players weren't quite on board with the
first proposal we shared on stream.
The memes came hard and fast. Some players said it was too much like existing
buy OSRS gold armor, such as
armor out of Runescape 3, the newer, mainline version of Runescape.
Others believed the new armor didn't look tanky enough and generously
provided a few alternatives, with some calling for a more drastic
redesign.
