[HC Proxy]

In efforts to keep the server as close to OSRS as possible, Zulrah has been changed to a 'dangerous death' (FOR HCIM).
 

Before this, many HCIM were able to farm Zulrah for its very beneficial drops and benefit greatly from it. 

My suggestion meets as a middlepoint as us newer HCIM are so far behind the curve of those HCIM who were able to farm Zulrah whilst it was safe.  I propose that Zulrah should have 1 safe death per day as it is in OSRS after completing the 'Western Provinces Diary'. This change would allow us HCIM that are so far behind, a chance to catch up. It also keeps with the servers theme of trying to keep similar with OSRS.

 

Perhaps once the HCIM has completed all of the easy diary or easy + some of the hard, this change could come into effect. 

Thankyou for taking the time to read this suggestion.

EDIT: For clarification, this post isn't about saving me whilst being lazy afk 'Zulrahing' its due to Zulrah's unforgiving nature in the terms of Jad phase/prayer switches between phases in the event of a lag spike/dc. On most bosses you have a 10-15+s window in which to recover from a lag spike, Zulrah does most often not give you that chance.

Support, I think it's a good compromise for HCIM.

Support! Gives you a second chance, and also helps if you should dc while camping Zulrah.

I hope that the achievement system gets updated a little, I know there are plans for some if not all of the achievement items to be added in-game. Would be cool if you could actually get some via achievements as well as little things like this.

 

Support.

I Support this idea! One safe death daily for HC Ironman accounts should be allowed.

No support. Zulrah is already easier than on OSRS. If you don't want the challenge then don't play HCIM mode. Only a handful of HCIM farmed Zulrah extensively whilst it was a safe death, and updates happen all the time that certain types of people don't like or feel disadvantaged by, just deal with it.

I think this would be fair given we had diaries.
Also it's not a 'safe death' it's just a Resurrection which grants you 99 prayer/hp once a day if you're to be killed during the fight.

I understand completely with what you're saying about HCIM being a challenging mode and I agree, it is. However for the content to be available for a good 5-6 months prior with no risk is a bit too unfair in my eyes. Furthermore this discourages people from picking up HCIM, a mode which is already at a very small player base. 

 

If we were to live by the mantra of "updates happen all the time that certain types of people don't like or feel disadvantaged by, just deal with it" this would not be the server it is today. The players are the main driving force behind the server, and when the community choose to raise their voice when they feel certain ways about a topic, it is generally for good reason.
TY for your input.

I support,

 

It can help keep the HCIM mode "alive"

[Eightford]

+1 to this, think it would be a good implementation.

[Eric the red]

If you dont wanna die, just make normal ironman or ultimate... 

[ClassicMax]

I don't mind supporting this as it's in osrs with diarys, Aslong as it wouldn't apply anywhere else.

I agree, solely for Zulrah. 

[BIGDICK c0ld]

i support.

[Shut Up]

I support this. Dead to all HCIM!

[Iron maxx]

I support. But to be honest not a 100%. There are more bosses where u easily can die by a lagspike. It makes zulrah too easy then, because talking about having a disadvantage after updates, that happens with so many things. Just for regular players/ironmans too. 

 

But since it's in OS, i'll support. It must be really bad to die on a HCIM by lag.

 

Good suggestion!

 

EDIT: Zulrah is (as said above) the only boss where this suggestion is needed for. (my opinion)

[Tempestite]

+1 Support. I got my bp back in the days when Zulrah was safe for HCIM, I find it fair not to be safe but I agree with the point of making 1 safe death per day after you've completed some achievements.

 

In my opinion this is something that just balances the game for HCIM without ruining long term gameplay. We all are victims of DC sometimes but that should not prevent HCIM from grinding Zulrah. At least they'll have the choice of risking it or playing it safe after first death.
