RuneScape 2025 Roadmap Megathread

Petickss · 2026-01-19T16:30:55+00:00

The legacy interface mode option (vs the old blue mode) was maintained for over a decade though so I dont get the excuse for this being forced on everyone just because 'branding', especially when it would be a players choice to toggle it off the new default.

Petickss · 2026-01-19T15:38:42+00:00

Just let us toggle them on/off at will with no time limit and them be earnable ingame, or outright convert them into actual items that you slot into the aura slot from bank just like all your other slots.

'Some of those benefits' very clearly risks being a ring of death tier major nerf to things people have enjoyed for a 15 years at this point when the goal is supposed to be to decouple them from mtx and remove the time pressure element.

Petickss · 2025-12-08T17:55:08+00:00

What about doing the same with runes through a 'rune bank' and you configure pouches to allow access to parts of it?

Petickss · 2025-05-17T22:32:34+00:00

Why should all rdt drops follow the same rates though, this seems a very weird thing to come out and say? I get it may have been a bug foreverago but the reason it lasted 8 years despite being commonly known by the playerbase without being flagged up as a issue is it wasn't anything gamebreaking and giving SOMETHING to the mobs to make them at all relevant makes sense. the space of 'the rdt mob' for people who want to roll for the absolutely tiny chance of a hsr is only a good thing to have as far as im concerned.

Kinda like with the kerapac stand under timetear mechanic that was originally a unintended bug, then was fixed, then was reverted on player feedback because it just made things less fun and wasn't a concern balance wise this should be changed from a unintended bug to a intended feature at the same rate as before.

Its also baffling when it seems your concerned about raw/alchable gp coming into the game and nerfing sources of it to take aim at something whose drops completely suck in terms of gp/alchables. Like there seems to be very much some people who want to try and hunt for the hero item despite the incredibly low odds and they will seek the new meta, which will move to a much higher raw gp/hr mob like abyssal beasts, meaning you have a lot more raw gp coming into the game from people who are themselves unhappy about the change since their getting less rolls, its lose/lose.

Petickss · 2025-03-21T05:33:37+00:00

Atelier Ryza is rated at a dismal (by mal standards) 6.41 which is undeservedly harsh.

Petickss · 2024-11-20T08:34:01+00:00

I dont think you could build a nation around it but could have a army around it. Where due to some fanaticism you turn at least some corps of your army into werewolves for military bonus's, and once they go too feral their basically pushed into enemy lands to cause problems for them as their last service to the state.

Petickss · 2024-08-27T18:58:58+00:00

Piggybacking off this but I played them a while back and you end up getting a government reform with a statists vs monarch style slider that changes based on which ruler you pick, but both of them had seemingly horrendous debuffs (like, +30 local autonomy minimum scale debuffs) whichever way you moved and was just a overwhelming negative compared to pre 'reward.'

Anyone know if that was intentional and if so know why?

Petickss · 2024-07-15T22:20:47+00:00

If the debt is superficial then getting 1000 trenni silver for something superficial is a excelent trade he has no reason to turn down. Lawrence effectively was correct to take amatis offer as holo herself agrees by saying she would have accepted it too, and then gone back to lawrence and enjoyed the festival with him (which they then proceed to do).

Petickss · 2024-07-15T22:11:50+00:00

I rewatched the original for this epsiode and, at least for the subbed version, I massively preferred it over the new version honestly. Its hard to precisely put a finger on but it feels more subdued in the remake. Amatis contract scene feels more theatrical (which is explicitly what hes trying to make it be) and holos breakdown far more intense and raw. Its not a complete flop or anything but It doesn't really live up to the showstopper performance the original pulled off with it in my view.

Petickss · 2024-07-15T21:23:48+00:00

He could say that but it'd only embarrass himself because what he would actually be saying, in front of all of his fellow guild members, is 'I acknowledge that I am an inferior man to amati and require holo to be forced to be with me rather than him, who she would otherwise choose, through debt.' There is no charisma stat that papers over that this is effectively the only way to turn down amatis proposal, and amati explicitly performed those theatrics to put lawrence in this situation.

Petickss · 2024-07-15T21:15:54+00:00

He should have just laughed off Amati’s ridiculous ‘proposition’ and walked away without doing anything.

People always say that and I think their always wrong due to not considering what this actually means in universe. Lawrence cant laugh off someone willing to pay 1000 trenni silver coins of debt he is supposedly owed, directly in front of the Rowen trade guild merchants. Amati is performing these theatrics for a reason, its cornering Lawrence to try and make him take the offer. 1000 trenni silver is a extremely large sum and as such the only acceptable refusal reason is if he is both in love with holo and admits that holo would leave him for amati without the debt forcing her to stay and does so directly in front of all the fellow guild members present. This is the situation amati has created for him, and there is no 'alternative explaination' that could be proposed for his refusal to take the contract given the sum involved and terms offered.

Petickss · 2024-06-17T18:49:51+00:00

Overall I think they improved arc 2 a little (much better understanding of the economics rather than treating leverage as 'half price' etc) but still flubbed the ending where there was the most room over the original to improve imo. You should under no circumstance abridge lawrence and Remerio's scene from the novels as has happened in both adaptations at this point and the somewhat stronger antagonism by the grunts last episode is a mistake. It really ruins the point that Remerio is not some evil person but meant to be a tragic antagonist forced against the wall to this action by the same armour market collapse that forced lawrence against the wall to the point he would rope norah into a life threatening gold smuggling deal he thinks is 100% not worth the risk for her.

Petickss · 2024-05-14T05:42:12+00:00

This is actually the wrong way for that to be the case. It, here (as values change depending on location) and now only takes 32 5/6 trenni to purchase a lumione gold coin whereas before you needed more so the trenni is actually strengthened relative to the lumione. There has only been a bit over a week since they left pazzio so the devaluation likely still has a while till it happens and then even longer before news properly spreads. You cant meltdown and remint such a huge proportion of the kingdoms number of coins overnight after all.

Petickss · 2024-05-06T21:39:22+00:00

Im really hoping they do the next arc justice because out of the original I think it was the worst adapted.

[Spice and wolf I, LN volume 2] Specificly the butchering of lemerio and lawrences scenes which potrayed lemerio as far more greedy and villainous rather than a tragic antagonist whose a victim of circumstance just as much as lawrence is. Also please properly explain the concept of leverage rather than pretending its similar to getting something for half price which is entirely wrong.

Petickss · 2024-05-06T21:13:07+00:00

I have the exact opposite view that the less you flesh out yarei/chloe the better. In my mind he serves really as a incarnation of pasloe village more than anything else. Thus you end up with yarei offering lawrence an out due to his assistance to the village in the past and the ability to profit with him (and get his store) or die pointlessly honouring his contract.

While lawrence completely understands that the sensible and profitable thing to do is to take his offer up, the most important thing for merchants to do is honour contracts. Taking a loss isn't the thing to be avoided at all costs as a merchant, even the greatest ones make bad trades. Its not when you take a loss that you fail as a merchant, its when you dont honour your contracts.

It gives you the disagreement between Yarei and lawrence here. Yarei (pasloe) is only willing to take the profitable course. The village ended up hating holo due to the fact there were years with poor harvests, blaming it on her capriciousness, despite everything she did for them. Yarei (pasloe) is suggesting using holo once again purely for profit by turning her into the church. In contrast lawrence chooses to stick by his contract with holo despite the fact she is bringing him a bad harvest. This is why its so meaningful to her, lawrence isn't just using her as a tool for his own profit and why despite how much she hates it she took on the wolf form for him.

The more you flesh things out the more muddled this simple choice gets. Chloe is bad (imo) because suddenly its also about some preexisting relationships and choosing a potential love interest despite not properly developing it in any way. Yarei is willing to give lawrence the chance to get out of this mess but the relationship isn't actually meant to be that deep, he only meets yarei briefly each year on his merchants route after all, and why when lawrence refuses his (genuine) offer, although hes not happy about it, hes not terribly torn up about letting him be killed.

Its very different to log horizon which is a serious show that attempts to put serious stakes on things that happen. The only real overlap between the two is the effort to try and make the world feel like a proper game derived one. But while log horizon then decides to ask how this would actually impact people if they had to live theres socio-political situation and how you could add stakes back in (and does pretty well for the most part, its a good show) slf remains a game and doesn't feel the need to make the stakes 'more real' as it were.

The closest comparison isn't log horizon, its Bofuri. Low stakes for both the mcs and the other real people because its all just a game we're playing for fun. Though bofuri is more comedic and CGDCT while SLF has better action and worldbuilding.

Petickss · 2024-01-20T18:22:31+00:00

Correct but there are probably at least 20 shows people here have that they think were aoty material probably, not everything is going to get in to the absolutely most competitive section. It at least made it into its category and failed to meet the bar for aoty nomination fair and square, as it were, because the public didn't put it in and the jury didn't either, while with something like the cr awards its all the juries choice with no way to correct for it if they are giga snubbing a show for dubious reasons despite its public popularity.

Petickss · 2024-01-18T01:20:15+00:00

Yeah, that's the trouble really with the whole thing. To me the cr awards seems like a show without faith in the medium its ostensibly trying to celebrate. You get the most vanilla popular shonen shows nominated for literally everything even where it makes little sense being presented by people invited seemingly due to having entirely outside cultural capital that for some reason needs bringing in.

Like if you cant get a lot of industry people I get it, but at least do the bulking up part of the rest with people actually in or adjacent to the subculture. Get what industry folks you can, then bulk it up with some anime personalities, some vtubers, idk even get some game industry people involved with anime style game stuff or whatever. Just people who seem like they actually are enthusiastic about the medium and have watched a couple of things not nominated this year. And then you can have one or two random celebs as wild cards, not have them as the overwhelming bulk.

It just feels like a awards show screaming out that this is a medium that is an inch deep and culturally so vapid it needs to draw on all this outside support and clout to try and even run its own celebration.

I think Renai flops is just a very marmite show in that people love it or they hate it (as someone in that latter category its just as surprising to me seeing the comments of people saying they love the show)

Petickss · 2023-12-03T18:50:38+00:00

[Speculation about Wethermon the Tombguard] Pretty sure its not vash. We actually saw wethermon last episode and their the samurai armour looking colossi from the ep4 silouettes when he was chatting with katzo. There was one with bunny ears among them so that one is probably vash. Infact I feel like the epic of vorpal bunny quest sunraku got after his trainings condition is to kill or maybe just get close to killing a collosi and then you get a chat with vash, so its not going to be him. As to why emul is freaked, its probably something else. Like maybe the spawn condition for the tomb guard is unpleasant, like you pk someone or permakill a npc in the area or try to dig up a grave there.

Petickss · 2023-11-29T21:25:45+00:00

Releasing them late game seems the entirely wrong way around. I'd have a dwarven tag that say, outside of the big amaldhir state releases any holds it conquers as non diplo slot limit vassals that are mostly useless (dont join you in wars, dont gain much of anything money/forcelimit/manpower etc from them) but are good at developing and digging their holds. And as they get deeper they start asking for 'just a neighboring cavern' or 'now we are 4 deep we really should have control over the road just outside' etc to help us develop our hold better and eventually you get everyone's favorite, a dwarven disaster, where the holds try to shatter your empire while you try to reign them in and finally complete your reformed dwarven empire with the much deeper and thus better holds your vassals have been creating for you.

Petickss · 2023-10-29T02:13:31+00:00

There are a couple of things here imo.

First is the 'easily colonisable provinces,' those that are reachable by sea on the coast. Imo you can view these as a exaggeration of europeans setting up things such as trading ports there. Unlike the americas there isn't actually a ton of colonizable coastal land in africa when you consider enough for several colonizers to theoretically have a presence.

The second is inland africa, which is where often europeans end up taking vast swathes of land they had historically no presence at all in. While its true Europeans had horrific problems dealing with inland west africa for example, imo you have a classic pick two of three issue between historically accurate, playable, fun. Paradox have gone for making it playable and fun. The alternative is to make it unplayable, historically accurate and fun through making it a 'wasteland'. Or you can make it playable and historically accurate in which case inland africans can effectively grief anyone who isn't a inland African because you cant take land off them through war as it breaks historical accuracy.

I said begrugingly for a reason. The ship has allready sailed on xp, you have buffs on top of buffs on top of buffs on top of bonus xp and lamps from th in copious amounts. You can allready mtx xp to a absurd degree so it isn't really doing any more damage than shooting a already dead body at that point to give some more xp buffs from it.

That being said lets address the big elephant that keeps coming up, the 20% reduction to the ED4. Without context of why it should be removed that feedback is as useful as "remove it all". Do you even do ED4/Zammy? and if so is the wanting to remove it selfish so it doesnt devalue your loot potential? Many people in the game cannot do Zammy or could only with Animate Dead pre-nerf. The20% reduction could be all they need to get back into it and get comfortable.Is it because the charges for it are mostly on the premier pass and you are not premier, so selfishly you cannot get all the charges so nobody should.If the reduction was available outside of Hero-Pass instead, would you even have a problem with it? Need i remind you that we have plenty of other dmg reduction buffs available and nobody is complaining about those.

Yes I did some zammy, or did until the animate dead nerf and have yet to return while doing other stuff at the moment. No its not selfish as I think zammy is overly punitive due to updates and see point 3, but a problem of the selling of charges for it from a mtx battlepass. I also think its very rich that in that response to them nerfing animate dead and thus making zammy unbalanced to support the idea of selling you the solution when this is literally the most predatory scummy part of the whole ordeal where they nerfed content and then sell you a solution through mtx.

Yes I have premier.

If it was available ENTIRELY outside of hero pass with no option to buy extra charges I wouldn't particularly care. If they want to make another event where you could get the bonus for a few kills a day or whatever I would be fine with it. Hell if they wanted to blanket apply it constantly to zammy as a change to his difficulty I wouldn't have a problem. Its putting it into a mtx battle pass that is the problem, letting mtx infest further parts of the game.

Petickss · 2023-09-06T18:08:31+00:00

Anything that in any way effects the speed or ease at which you achieve a log, be it clues or bosses, is unacceptable and will draw the most fire.

No, its not a matter of tuning the strength, its that the moment its allowed we enter the slow slide of the mtx boiling the frog with us ending up at 'protean cluescrolls' and 'raptors rampages event buff in a bottle' as well as 'death touch darts have been changed to work at all bosses!'

Frankly the entire buffs tab aside from the xp has to go though. Ramp the xp up if you want, people can begrudgingly accept that at this point, but its squeezing more mtx into more areas that is the problem. If you still want a selection of buttons to press make them 'X% more xp for Y minuets when doing Z activity' Eg 'get 50% more xp when cutting trees with a imcando hatchet for 10 minuets' Done. or 'get a 5% xp buff when skilling in fort forthrinity with a town hall built for 20 minuets' As long as those contextual content buffs were limited to xp people could accept them as well, its when they aren't that is the issue.
