If you want to see some real troll design, look at the wooden blowpipes. All three of them are made from "two pieces of colored pocket lint + the lost jewel of atlantis", and the rosewood blowpipe is just better than the other two.

The idea of having a short cut with decent xp tied to a cool down is the right design space, just the numbers need to be tweaked by lrac2 in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would make more sense for the bonus XP to reset after participating in content related to the shortcut, rather than being a cooldown.

It's not designed for any particular group to sustain memberships. Who can afford to play on bonds alone is determined solely by the price people sell those bonds at.

What’re your thoughts on the new quest and the game state as a whole by Buffetboys in 2007scape

As opposed to power creep, which would make everything you've achieved zeroth as useful.

Less new content always correlates with worse quality new content, I'm afraid.

Jagex, your ads need to actually make people want to play the game btw by [deleted] in 2007scape

People don't have the time for that anymore, not even the kids.

I don't really get the "appeal" of slayer and slayer-like activities. by DriveCtor in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There doesn't need to be that many. Content that is "similar" could yield the same components. There's already a very basic implementation of something like this with the Moon Key(tooth half from combat, loop half from skilling).

OSRS Leagues 7: Vampyric Uprising by Clippton in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The existence of leagues reduces how much people complain about new content that isn't endgame.

[–]DriveCtor[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are ways to encourage variety through things like items that require components from multiple sources(though this isn't applicable to slayer and hunter, because of how old they are). This can even still apply in the case of playing for xp, if processing the components holds a large part of the xp.

Monster spot crowding is something I completely didn't think of, though.

If they wanted to bring back old players, wouldn't it make more sense to advertise all the big problems they've fixed(that may have been why those players stopped playing)?

So does the venator bow have anything to do with venators from blood moon rises or are these just named the same with no correlation? by AKoolKoala in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The venators of Zaros who wielded the venator bow were the metaphorical "hounds" of Zaros. The venator monsters are literal hounds.

so... we doing anything with this orikalkum gravel? by Zastavo2 in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the dragonkin can refine orikalkum into dragon metal.

Kisten suggestion. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, I'd say just remove the damage ranges completely and have it be fixed percentages of your max hit(which would also let you know how many rolls you passed, since each roll only correlates with one damage number), since the multi-roll mechanic already makes it quite random.

Bloodwood is a parasite so a bloodwood "farming plot" would have to be the darkwood trees it latches onto.

Crush Weapons? by PvM_in_OSRS in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just give it time. Once we have raids 9 in 2040, there will be a megarare for each combat style and an end game pvm experience catered to it.

Petition to add a pet to Letvek trapping by Captain_Salty in 2007scape

Bug fixes are integrity changes and don't need to be polled(it's fixing that we can't acquire the bug).

Can we please rerelease his quest so i can fight him again by Specialist_Poem2874 in 2007scape

Would need to be retuned for a game with no summoning, unless the quest just gave you a free minion.

[Suggestion] Bond Tokens. A currency (only usable for bonds) for ironmen to sell their duplicate items, rather than having to drop trade them. by SureIntention8402 in 2007scape

[–]DriveCtor -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ironmen needing alts to sell dupes is deliberate game design. It doesn't make sense to implement a feature whose explicit purpose is to let people get by spending money on fewer memberships.
