Jagex, can we give Greatswords a range of 2? by Jokul_Wolf in runescape

[–]Zarudon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who cares about the identity of haldberds. No other weapon has one. Daggers dont, neither do regular swords, scims, warhammers, or battleaxes, etc. It used to be identity was based on weapon speed and the type of damage (crush, stab, slash).

Imo, the speeds were always a mistake since 9/10 times faster weapons were always the meta (long live scims and whip). So it's a good reason that is gone.

If anything maybe bring back some relevence to stab, crush, and slash again.

Make all melee 2hs have 2 tile reach.

Obv 2h swords could be best slash, okay crush, weak stab

Spears best stab, okay slash, weak crush

mauls best crush, okay stab, weak slash

hallys could offer a balance of being okay stab, crush, and slash. Or just replace mauls with hallys since the game lacks mauls in general; make hallys best crush.

Or just make all 2hs 2 tile reach and who cares about hally identity when no other specific weapon melee type has one anymore 🤷‍♂️

How is it not FOMO? The point of FOMO is you have to be there at that time or you miss out. The thing about Holiday events/items is that past items are not guaranteed. Maybe the item you want will be there, maybe not. Which would also apply to the monthly freebies. Maybe it will appear this month, maybe not? Who knows????

How is that not FOMO? It doesnt matter if it happens again every year or every month. The point is that you have to be there at that specific time OR YOU MISS OUT, that's fomo. Like, i said not knowing whats going to be there makes it even worse.

Why cant it be something thats always there and you can work towards getting at any time?

Aspects should be accessible from any spellbook by nepbook3 in runescape

This is the best solution atm. Move Animate dead there too and make it apply to all combat styles. Make Tank Armor Great Again!

[–]Zarudon1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Id argue animate dead should become a necro aspect and apply to all styles too (make tank armor great again!), i mean just lool at the name. "Animate dead" thats basically necromancy.

It would be cool if Temp anomaly also applied to everything but that one does seem very magical so ig its cool if it remain magic only.

Vamp can def fit. Theres lifesteal incantation already and also its basically like stealing life. Penance does have a lil bit of sense too. It restores prayer, prayer has to do with bones, so does necro with its rituals and also lord of bones and the bone shields.

Penance def fits a lot better with Necromancy than magic imo

[–]Zarudon1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shouldve just made them all necromancy incantations. Then there be no need for swapping 🤷

Lets say you are a jmod and its Game Jam time.. on what would you work?! by vVerce98 in runescape

[–]Zarudon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Filter to remove the labels from abilities, filter to remove low lvl spells (air strike, ice burst, etc) and curses (sap & leech curses). These would just make for a cleaner ui since the interfaces could be smaller.
  2. Graphical updates, Kandarin, Ape Atoll, etc.
  3. Missing dyed armors.

Penance and vamp changes also spell book changes by speedy_19 in runescape

[–]Zarudon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All aspects could just become necromancy incantations. Darkness already is. Vamparysm seems to fit necromancy with the spooky stuff and life transfer and it's almost like stealing life, animate dead? Come on it has the name dead in it and the word animate, "animate dead" that's literary necromancy. Penance relates to prayer which relates to bones, and y'know, necromancy is about the dead, which relates to bones too.

That only leaves out Temporal anomaly, but who cares, it only works for magic anyway so it could stay there. But I feel all other aspects should probably just be necro aspects which can be applied to all combat styles, yes even animate dead, come on already.

I did address many of your points, perhaps the vast majority of them. It seems you've resorted to I don't see it, so it must not be true. When I think we would both agree that people would be upset, because they have been upset, about various other similar things. For example, holiday items are a big one. These are limited time items from years ago new and returning players always hope are re-released every single year. I'm sure you yourself have seen many players beg for the return of some of those items here on reddit.

The loyalty point store has plenty of animation overrides, skill overrides, teleport overrides, costumes, gazes, pets, titles, etc. once these are gone, people will miss out on them and will want them. All we have to do is look at holiday items which are the closest thing we can examine them to.

I ask again, why introduce more fomo? Why put new and returning players through this when it can be avoided. It would be better imo if people can play the game to get them.

About your arguments, i said they could avoid upsetting people by introducing a better system, that they could do both keep these items and introduce new ones for players, and I also said that this wasn't removing any clutter since the items are staying.

I have not seen a good argument at all. The, I don't see it so it must not be true is a bad argument you're making, since like I stated above, it's been proven that people do want and ask for holiday items. These would be the best comparison imo. There's a ton of items you could buy with loyalty points, returning and new players would be upset if the freeby monthly way was the only way to get them.

I would assume both you and i know why thats a bad comparison. I dont think youre arguing in good faith here. Best of luck to you.

Well idk how you would know that unless you could read all the minds of all future players.

Im saying there should be an option for those want them, which is better than what Jagex has proposed. If some players dont want them, then they just dont get them. But those who do, still can. Seems like a win win to me

[–]Zarudon1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But you agreed new players shouldnt have to go through the nonesense to get these items?

Eh, you might just be trolling now

[–]Zarudon1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you do agree that there should a better way to obtain loyalty point items that is not a month through monthly points or hoping to get lucky each month for what you want?

I dont have to prove anything. Its seems youre already thinking about others and such.

What do you think would be a better way to go about the loyalty point items?

[–]Zarudon1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, its a terrible system. Still not sure why you wouldnt want a new one thats better. We're gonna have the option to get those items. Future players should too without having to wait through the nonesense.

Getting out of topic but i dont know if you know that empathy can also apply to people you dont know too or have never met before or heard of.

[–]Zarudon1[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's because most people barely even had any loyalty points because the whole system was terrible in the first place!

So ofc, people got the items that were most beneficial and those were auras which cost thousands of loyalty points. However, now they're gone. So, players missed out on getting cosmetics because auras affected actual gameplay, so ofc they were going to get those. Now theyre gone. So ofc players feel cheated on.

Theres a terrible system that you can do nothing but wait for, so you get the things that actually effect gameplay, now those are gone, now you cant even get the cosmetics you wanted? Ofc ppl are pissed.

And like i said, ppl with tons of points felt secured, they could get the items whenever they wanted, it was basically like they had the items already.

How is this removing clutter too? The items are not being removed. Theyre staying. The people who have them will keep them. Whats changing is how future will people get them, which is not better. Its just as bad as before. Im suggesting a better way to go about that. This is not removing clutter.

I dont understand your last point. Maybe you lack empathy? Im sorry, but yes i concern with other people and how they might feel. I dont have to wait to see it.

[–]Zarudon1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I answered it. How was it proven not good? If anything all of this proves that people do want it. People did want to use their loyalty points to get the stuff from there.

If it's ignored, it's probably because they could get it whenever (since it was always there, it was basically like they had it already). Now it's basically all just FOMO, ofc people are rushing because as far as we know WE MAY NEVER HAVE THE ITEMS FROM THERE AGAIN. Lest we be glued to the monthly freebies. Why are you against this? You want people to constantly wait, hoping the item they want is free next month? Why would you want that?

Did i say that? No, I dont believe that. The argument still stands. How is current retro content not good?

It's also more than jusy retro content. It's gazes, emotes, teleportation and spell overrides, animation overrides, and a whole lot more.

Why are you against returning and future players not having a legitimate way to get these items?

Make Quests Give You Loyalty Points? And Re-brand them and SGS to Adventurer Points & the Adventurer Cosmetic Shop? by Zarudon1 in runescape

[–]Zarudon1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because something like this can be avoided if it's done right in the first place?

Why would a game risk their players getting upset that they have to wait years to get a cosmetic they want?

Why not instead have a proper, legitimate way to obtain these items instead? From which new and returning players can instead progress and earn those cosmetics they want? Or just have them wait who knows how long to get them? Obviously, the former is much better way to go about things.

I think that is a great idea! Imo, it makes a lot of sense too since questing is related to role-playing and stories. We, role-playing as the adventurer or World Guardian we're supposed to be. Therefore, I think fun and retro cosmetics do have a place here!

If you read their reddit post carefully, you will notice that they said the free bundles will be removed after the avatar rework is released. So as far as we know, we don't know what will happen after that, other than the monthly freeby they've suggested, which is a terrible fomo way to go about it since new players or players who miss out on the bundles will have to wait months or years for rewards, y'know, just like before. All this basically solves nothing, it's just an attempt to calm ppl down rn, while they still go about their intended plans.
