Jagex Details Less Punishing Deadman Mode

A new blog post up on Old School RuneScape’s forums offers new details into new changes coming to Deadman Mode in this season and next. The ideas change how players will lose experience, items, changes to the end-game tournament, and more.

Foremost, this season will bring changes to how much players lose upon death. The number of items lost on death will be reduced from 28 bank items down to 10, rewarding player killers while also not completely wiping out a player’s stash if they die a couple of times. Death to a much higher leveled player will incur less of an experience loss than someone closer to your own level, while new players will receive a six hour immunity and increased experience gain during that period. The teleport delay will be removed for unskulled players, while un-noting items at a bank will be made a bit more time consuming.

Next season will see the Grand Exchange being added to Deadman seasonal to reduce the time spent buying and selling items that could be better spent murdering your fellow players. The experience multiplier will also change to give a better boost at lower levels. Deadman Invitation #2 will make changes to the killer fog that ushers players into tighter spaces, while the winner will be declared based off of kills rather than total level in case of a tie.

As always, Jagex is soliciting feedback on the forums. You can read the entire developer blog at the link below.
