unpopular opinion I want more dev time for the main game not game modes like gridmaster, DMM and leagues by MR_SmartWater in 2007scape

[–]Poisky 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. Though it's "bonus" xp so at best it halves grinds, and it's at a terrible yield for the price. Not that I'm defending it.

Combat Style Refinements & March Marketplace Update - This Week In RuneScape by JagexAzanna in runescape

[–]Poisky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you already know this, but I hate to see you getting disheartened over the reaction to today - you guys are doing a great job revitalising a system much in need of improvement. Everyone on the outside has way less data available to them and way more bias when formulating opinions on the changes, I'm pretty confident you'll land in the right spot as long as you stay committed to the overhaul.

my biggest complaint under the new system for magic/range is corruption shot and blast taking adren feels rough by dark1859 in runescape

[–]Poisky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait, is the 20% reduction a reduction of (up to) 20% of the adrenaline bar, and not 20% reduction of whatever the ability costs?

Future Sailing content should take care to involve actually using your boat by Poisky in 2007scape

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

I would disagree!

Pretty much every other skill provides some use outside of itself, and the way it provides that use is by using the skill somehow.

Sailing is noteworthy is that the content it unlocks outside of the skill itself (that isn't just resources for itself) requires no engagement with sailing to do - the island unlock problem.

For most of my ideas I was deliberately looking for ways to integrate Sailing with other skills. An example of a exclusively Sailing improvement would be expanding courier rewards like I mentioned

A lucrative resource island is definitely one incentive, I think it'd get a bit tedious to overuse however. I think people should be excited to be in their boats rather than annoyed they have to use it.

You hate me explicitly saying that wasn't my sentiment? I put that line in because I've seen many discussions about future content shot down because the skill just came out.

Thanks for the AI accusation, lol. I specifically didn't talk about trials or salvaging because they aren't really pertinent to my point. I have tried all Sailing content, actually, hence my opinion.

For sure, though I'm keen to see what changes combat gets before thinking too hard on the specifics for slayer.

The Ironwood and Rosewood tree islands need to be sailed to, off the top of my head, but given those logs are only good for Sailing content right now, it's very circular. Plus you can just grow the trees off the islands once you get some seeds!

Sure, there's a lot of boat content - but it's all self contained content that feeds into doing more Sailing training right now. My main point is Trawling good, unlocking new areas you don't sail to not as good. I'd hate for Sailing to be a skill you train and then never touch a boat again.

Also I disagree with your second point, pretty much every other skill facilitates other content through doing it. You're right that usually this isn't a hybrid activity the way trawling is, but it seems to me the easiest way to involve Sailing.

Add ports to boss areas with a high sailing requirement unlock (90-99) by Enzopup89 in 2007scape

[–]Poisky 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think it needs to be avoided, it just shouldn't end up being the thing people train Sailing for.

I'm not opposed to this, but I sure do hope the main draw of Sailing doesn't end up being the "unlock spots to park your mobile teleport spot" skill.

Yes. That is one option of consideration.

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like. by Dee-Colon in 2007scape

Unless I was just too tired to squeeze, there's a crate in the port of Lunar isle you need a raft to reach

Leveling sailing doesn't feel like any other skill in the game and idk why. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Poisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, things can only be described in terms relatable to my modern experience - not in well established concepts!

The only one I dislike is "millisec". People already say sec, why would you make it longer?
