Cerberus coming soon - some testing needed

Why not just let both exist. The ranged and magic boots of Cerb will be BIS, so there would always be incentive to go.
I don't get why there needs to be an update to the Glacor boots. Just let them exist. What's the big deal with having both?

Well for one thing our glacor boots use the models of the cerberus boots so that would be rather confusing.

Can I consider this confirmation that the boots will change over? So I should hoard my boot set?

- crush based weapons ( like the zamorakian hasta for example ) should have better accuracy vs Cerberus. Slightly nerf the accuracy of everything that doesn't have a crush option and slightly increase it for weapons that have the crush style option

hasta isnt a crush based wep, its stab. Cmaul is crush based.

I only see one way of fixing this, add Abyssal Sire with Cerberus for Abyssal Bludgeon or game unplayable.

Hasta should be the best crush dps ( because of the speed and the ability to use a dragon defender alongside) after the abyssal bludgeon ( that will come soon too I hope ).

No. This is just a proposal so we can hear your opinions on it before we decide what's going to happen.

Aren't they all coloured quite differently though? Idk if that should be the only reason.

What would we do with our Glacors?

What do you mean by that? The inventory models are all unique. I see that when you wear them, they do look like similar, but they are still distinct. I really don't think that would be a problem as people only look to the inventory model to recognize an item.

We're not really a fan of replacing all glacor boots with cerberus boots on release. It seems to me that this would ruin the release of the boss seeing as the boots are the main reason to go do cerberus. Swapping them would mean there's immediately thousands of pairs of boots in the game and thus very little incentive to go pay cerberus a visit. In addition it's hard to predict what the price of the cerberus boots would become and in all likelihood players' boots would be devalued by the swap.

Instead I propose the following:

On release nothing happens to glacor boots. We allow glacor boots and cerberus boots to coexist for a while. Then after a month or so, we swap all glacor boots for their current item value. This way nothing gets devalued, no one suddenly finds themselves without a good pair of boots to wear (or to buy) and cerberus won't be dead content from the day it's released.

Yes. Support. It's a great compromise.
