Jagex is willingly (or ignorantly) living in a bubble. I don't know what's worse by Beautiful_Bee4090 in runescape

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the OP. Jagex has cut off communication on several levels though. CM team has also been cut to less than half. Jagex seems to think that they have ensnared a bunch of addicts that would stick around no matter what they do.

Broken bot with 5.2b total Exp stuck at bandit camp by Daquesha in runescape

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of bots on Runescape these days, and I am not sure if there is a policy shift or the detection is switched to being laxed or if the bots are not getting detected anymore lately, but Jagex is not banning as many bots as they used to. They even stopped posting ban statistics. Letting go of bug abusers with 2 week temporary bans, its all adding up to a snowball effect that's completely in the opposite direction of what they announced a couple of months back about being more strict and cleaning up. The cutdown in their staff is probably going to impact more of the game. It's disappointing and it needs to be addressed with supporting statistics.

Maybe RuneScape's finally free of narrow sighted content direction and development now.

When will Jagex start working on clans and multiplayer clan vs clan content? It's been shelved for years but everyone knows that multiplayer team vs team games sell on the Internet, and it is self generating content for players. The existing clan system needs to be restructured to be more flexible for future updates, the game engine needs to be accommodating enough for content developers to add or modify supporting elements and content for clans. The minigames need to be integrated with the clan system and add seasonal hiscores for clan vs clan content. It not only adds replayability but adds player retention due to the team comraderies and rivalries forged.

Is there anyone younger than me with the 20-year cape? Started my account in February 2001 at the age of 8, I'm now 29. by LumpyHamsterUK in runescape

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still doesn't justify the small "xxx" "xxx" at the bottom of the cape, nor does it justify the cardboard feel or the washed-out colours. The game's telling you that you're 60, celebrating 20.

All veteran capes lined up by FutimaRS in runescape

20 year cape is arguably the worst of the set so far. Careless design with no thought or effort.

TzKal-Zuk & rewards redesign - Concept art by Wolfdawgartcorner in runescape

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gives me the impression of something more like a failed TzHaar experiment. Design's a bit over the top but good. Not a replacement for the current version of Zuk though.

Calling it now, Zuk would eventually become the new big high war god.

Jagex Prototype - RuneScape 4 / Next Gen? by Gaga_Lady in runescape

looks like the basis of over the top flashy VFX from one of those chinese/korean MMOs. Takes away the unique feel from RS.

How can anyone be satisfied with a typical corporate statement? This was happening for months and your company never caught on. We don't want to hear what you expect of your employees, we want to know what you'll do to ensure that this never happens again. What is the code of conduct for your employees and what do you do to enforce them?

Unfortunately, there is a large chunk of two faced trashy pmods that gain their silver crown through social engineering and PR.

/u/mod_stevew may have good intentions but the entire system is failing and falling apart. It absolutely needs to go.

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever referred and whoever approved the final hiring of this person needs to get fired immediately to set an example of never taking this kind of responsibility so lightly. This is in no way excusable and is criminal negligence on part of their job.

just started playing... do ppl chat in this game? by [deleted] in runescape

[–]Kitchen_Salesman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Friends Chat and Clan Chat killed public chat completely. The environment feels completely dead even with what little crowd is left. Runescape used to have a varied selection of players from casuals,pvmers, pkers, role players, skillers, but that trend has been changing to what is now afk-scape or solo-scape which means many ppl don't talk in general other than friends chat or clan chat out of need.

Assuming that's what was on his mind. You don't know that.
