QoL month has arrived once more! As always, we're spending the entirety of February dedicating time to themed Quality of Life updates. This week we kick things off with your Combat related suggestions! For those hoping to see improvements elsewhere, fear not, for the following weeks will be dedicated to Skilling, General/miscellaneous and near misses.



The schedule for Combat Week is as follows:

In-game poll live by 01/02

Make sure you head over to the Old School Content Suggestions forum, or Reddit (/r/2007scape/) to share your suggestions for Week 2 - Skilling!

Poll Questions

Poll Question #1

Should the Defence requirement found on Blessed forms of D'hide Chaps be removed? Currently they require 40 Defence to equip.

Poll Question #2

Should the Defence requirement found on Blessed forms of D'hide Vambraces be removed? Currently they require 40 Defence to equip.

Poll Question #3

Should the player automatically stop attacking Vorkath when frozen by his special attack?

Poll Question #4

Should Entangle, Snare and Bind durations be unaffected by Protect from Magic?

Poll Question #5

Should players be able to upgrade the Range and Max cape to match the ammo pick up effects of the Assembler? This would require using Vorkath's head on the cape and would not include the additional bonuses.

Poll Question #6

Should it be possible to sacrifice Slayer trophy heads on the Dark altar for 2,500 Prayer XP? Vorkath's head, due to its more common drop rate, would award 1000 XP instead.

Poll Question #7

Should the Strength bonus offered by the Serpentine Helmet be increased to +5? Currently it is +3.

Poll Question #8

Should Weapon categories remember the previous attack style being used when equipped? For example, if a player used any sword previously with the "Defensive" attack style, any other sword will continue to be used with the Defensive style when equipped.

Poll Question #9

If Question #8 fails, should we instead add an attack style to Dihn's bulwark only to make the combat buttons more convenient when switching?

Poll Question #10

Should autocast options be remembered when equipping a magical weapon? Each autocast configuration layout will be remembered seperately. Magical weapons which share the same layout will share the spell remembered. For example, the Staff of Light and Staff of the Dead share the same autocast configuration layout and would, in turn, share which spell is remembered. This would only be for non-PvP areas.

Poll Question #11

Should a noticeboard be added to Pest Control which shows the amount of personal Wins for Novice, Intermediate and Veteran Landers?

if you want this change to also affect PvP, please let us know in your feedback to this poll blog and we can consider it.
