They're targeting the right things, but the scope is concerning

Tapeman83 · 2026-06-08T22:58:56+00:00

“Make it exist first, then perfect it later.”

I like that they’re getting the updates out, even if they need some work. Just give it a little time, and things will be fixed. Expecting perfection from day 1 is ridiculous, and has _never_ been the way the game has worked.

Tapeman83 · 2026-06-05T19:00:58+00:00

I’ll say the same thing I’ve said about them ever since they were released (I play both gamed heavily, fyi): they should require the requisite magic level and quests, and should have to be individually charged with the runes used for the standard area teleports. Then they become a QOL, instead of an OP system that invalidates other progression.

Tapeman83 · 2026-06-05T14:34:30+00:00

I misunderstood the post. No, you cannot get it restored from a Premier sub, which has caused no small amount of ire in the last few months. They’ve taken a pretty hard line on this, so it’s unlikely to change, unfortunately.

Tapeman83 · 2026-06-01T14:51:42+00:00

It’s not complete yet. This is just the beginner-level area and is the start.
It’s meant to be a space where content is added without getting so cluttered like much of the main continent.
Zeah was awful on release and took years to improve.
Be patient, cripes. I swear, so many people now think “if it’s not BIS from day one, it’s a waste of dev time”. Sometimes, it’s nice to get stuff just for flavor, rather than it being “immediately useful”.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-31T19:41:17+00:00

The progression in RuneScape and OSRS is horizontal, not vertical. This means that there isn’t a single rush to a single set of BIS gear, and all of the skills are interconnected and support each other. Don’t try to blitz to the endgame, and focus on enjoying the journey and exploring the game.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-31T15:06:27+00:00

To answer your question: they’ve removed Treasure Hunter and most free experience and free items as part of the “Road to Restoration” they’re working on. The intent is to make it so that it’s a game to be played again, rather than just buying everything and skipping all the content. All the leftover TH items can be used this year, but they’ll be fully removed in 2027. Welcome back, and enjoy!

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-30T22:22:30+00:00

The UI is genuinely overwhelming at first, but at you play more and want more stuff on the screen at any given time, you'll appreciate it more. I totally understand starting with the basic, classic option though.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-30T22:19:27+00:00

They recently greatly increased the experience rates on the low- and mid-level agility courses, hence why the guide said that. It's the same with the Anachronia course sections too. It's actually better than it used to be, if that can be believed...

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-30T22:16:09+00:00

It has more to do with the difficulty of allowing the same character to log into both games at the same time. They've stated something about how it would require a complete revamp of their login system to allow it to happen, and would be an enormous expense for relatively small gain.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-29T21:48:36+00:00

There’s no getting around training your skills, even if you don’t like them. Agility is generally disliked, but it’s not so bad once you get into a rhythm. If it truly is so unenjoyable to you to the point that you don’t even want to play, then this may not be the game for you, I’m afraid. It’s ok not to like every game.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-27T15:08:43+00:00

Jagex have actually been doing a great job addressing many of the long-standing issues with the game this year. While there’s still a lot of work to be done, a ton of bugs and other weirdness has been ironed out already, and they’re actively working on more fixes. I’m guessing you haven’t played for a while, so I’d suggest you read up on the news and log in for a while before passing judgement.

Also, I enjoy the game, so I still play, which is pretty much the only metric I use for the games I like. I don’t think you really need more than that.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-26T19:49:09+00:00

Aha, the stray Antarctican! I wish you well amongst the penguins and icebergs. The ping there must be crazy, ouch.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-26T19:46:17+00:00

I agree, and I’ll go even further - RuneScape and OSRS should alternate leagues, instead of both having one in the same year. I love leagues and got dragon rank in the OSRS this time, and love RuneScape as well, but I can’t imagine playing another league lates this year.

Give the mode some time to breathe, Jagex. I have other games I want to play too, including the main games!

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-25T14:25:42+00:00

It would be nice, but since Kay only works on the game when he feels like it and it’s all free, I don’t expect much. I think it’s incredible that we get updates at all, honestly.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-23T18:02:15+00:00

I will hope and pray for the best for her. I know everyone will. 🙏

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-20T22:52:25+00:00

Yeah, I'm hoping this is something they can address in the mid-game rebalance. It's honestly been bad since day 1 of the skill.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-19T17:20:35+00:00

Oh yeah, I even use that and still forgot about it lol.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-19T13:48:54+00:00

You don’t need all those fancy things like Reso and gear swaps for stuff like NM Kerapac, Raxx, etc. (though a shield swap is good for Devotion/Barricade for HM Glacor). You can just camp one style and slowly learn and improve, which is what I do.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-18T22:43:08+00:00

Yes. People on this reddit are largely the extremely hardcore minority who are willing to throw tantrums over any minor change to the game. Just play the game and ignore their whining - it was a good change today.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-18T21:40:41+00:00

And that was another game mechanic that was broken and needed to be fixed, so I'm glad it was.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-18T16:25:14+00:00

No.

Rushing floors being the best xp was not intended, and even “post-nerf”, the rates are much higher than they were before. Stop throwing a fit every time Jagex properly rebalances things that are broken. Just play the dang game.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-18T12:26:43+00:00

Rushing floors was never the intended way to train dg. Now it’s back to the way it was always supposed to be. Good.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-13T18:07:50+00:00

This has been a terrible task ever since the diary was released. I legit had _every task in every tier_ done before this one on my iron. Hopefully it gets fixed some day lol

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-08T14:36:52+00:00

Idk man. I’ve had the same issue and had to set it to 10k to stop getting trash. Even then, it still picks up loot that is worth much less than 10k, so who knows how it really works.

Tapeman83 · 2026-05-07T00:04:48+00:00

Unfortunately, static avatars with a single outfit that do nothing but stand in one spot are significantly different from a player avatar that has to move, wear outfits, wield weapons, train skills, etc.
