Stacking is fine now, but the freeze should come before the damage. As it stands the timing for damage is great but the freeze should occur almost instantly after a successful barrage. I.e. Ice barrage consists of two componenets, the freeze and damage. The former comes before the latter. Look at the start of this clip (https://youtu.be/JAI_8CLMt5Q) where the "you have been frozen message" appears. Thats the freeze component. And look at the time at which the damage actually occurs from the first barrage.

As for the results, it's not surprising since pvmers voted on an issue that affects them. Maybe disable the option upon entering the wilderness? It just negates the "switching quickly" element of bridding since you mo longer need to.

If these two changes are implemented then bridding here will be more or less similar to osrs, but that being said the stacking change is definitely a step in the right direction.

Perhaps you could just require a reclick on the barrage thing alone so that dhers etc are unaffected by it?

I mean we could remove all the unique aspects of Pkhonor wildy, but then I personally have no interest in pking on pkhonor when osscape has presets and is an osrs-like experience already.

I like the auto attack, it does a job you were going to do anyway. Spamming your opponent like you didn't intent on attacking him anyway in a 1v1 fight is dull.

Yeah but it messes up bridding. Idm it when veng pking but when bridding it takes out a lot of skill

Generally I'd say that we shouldn't cater for the players that we have, but instead try and attract newer player. In this case I feel that this update would do more harm than good. It wouldn't lead to any increase in the number of new PKers joining the server and you can be certain that it would deter some of our current PKers away from the wilderness.

Keep it the way it is. It's not going to benefit the server in any way if we change it.

Why not allow it in normal world (which is what Id imagine most no voters are voting for) and disable it in the wildy?

Its true. I voted no because i am often too lazy to reclick to attack. However after playing osrs for a while, I am just used to reclicking. There would probably be a bit of backlash from community, but they would get over it and learn to play the game how it was intended.
