Instant equipment switching - yay or nay?

Basically if you’re trying to attract new people then leave it.

If you’re trying to accommodate old players that have no plans on leaving anyways then change it back.

This sums the argument up for me. People enjoy pking MORE on OSRS, so why not make out pking more like OSRS?

I’ve always said that the development team needs to pick a path..... Keeping its loyal players happy, or making the game better for new incoming players.... It is nearly impossible to do both of these things perfectly balanced, and this update shows that they care about accommodating the incoming players which I 100% SUPPORT .

Now if we can just tweak the update to not effect things such as banking and looting, then we are cooking with grease!

If PkH were an OSRS clone people would just play one of the other OSRS clones with more players. Not to be negative but it's just what it is. The custom features that absolutely no one else is doing is what makes people (or at least me and a good few people I know) enjoy this server. Just saying

Back when you could insta switch, you were able to stack chaos and soul whip/ capes to get both effects. Was one of my favourite bugs to abuse.

I don't really care how ever the gear switches. I'm used to both ways....

What really matters to me is how the special attacks of the granite maul affect the PK'ing with the new ticks...

Granite maul has an instant spec, where as in OSRS there's a 1 tick delay between Hits & Specs.

The Problem with this? Since the Ticks have been implemented, you can't eat granite maul specs anymore as they're instant.

Before this update, you could (if fast enough) Double or even tripple eat the granite maul specs. Now if your opponent hits on let's say the very first 0,1 to 0,2 secconds of a tick cycle And instant granite maul in the next 0,2 to 0,3 secconds of the tick cycle you can't even out eat... that's because the food will take a tick to register... So, if you saw a 40k+ XP Drop on a whip hit and switch to granite maul and double spec really quick it's now un eatable... Literally impossible to eat.

lol changed my mind again this update nerfed con exp

Could kill peoples desire to grind 46b and I'm against that.

Please put it back to how it was before. We dont need to directly copy OSRS on every single thing.
This update is a Construction nerf :\

I suggest we stick to answering the question that's being polled: whether we should have instant switching, not the other unintended side effects of the current implementation.

No we shouldn’t. Lmao it actually messes up the game more and more as I continue to play, there is a lot of downsides and it should be reverted ASAP, In my opinion...

Yea Church. We just wanna know if we want the medicine or not! We don’t wanna hear about those stupid side effects!
