​RuneScape - Maintaining Skilling Integrity While Supporting Combat

Aug-09-2019 PST
Categories:news

Before I begin, I just wish thoughts of the association afterwards any shade. So amuse be thoughtful, kind, patient, and abstain any dismissiveness or barbarous words. I accede my own biases afore I present my alert in the connected and abbreviate version. Pardon my ramblings.


# LONG VERSION:


I accept played this bold for (I arrested as I acquaint this) 17.5 years. In that time, this bold has acutely change substantially. One affair I've apparent about-face added than annihilation is a alteration of sorts abroad from a accurate arch bold into a combat-centric bold that puts aggregate abroad in the aback seat. I brainstorm some of this came from the change of action from bequest to revolution. With the absolution of abilities, things actually acquired drive (ba-dum-ch). Things were already about bossing, but it was just a section of the puzzle. Now, the a lot of important things are bossing and the entities that abutment bossing: overloads, top prayers, summoning, top gear, and a lot of afresh invention.


Bossing is now complete abundant the axial focus of the game. Abaft that is high-end slaying. Money comes aboriginal and foremost from the kill. Top end gear, attenuate drops, and the a lot of abundance comes from that world. The action of the unexpected. The acuteness of the challenge.


Skilling doesn't accept any complete intensity. Sometimes it requires focus if you wish to be efficient, but not intensity. And one affair that is in actuality missing from skilling in actuality is the action of the unexpected. The added affair is the adeptness to in actuality accomplish wealth. The aboriginal was somewhat addressed with the mining rework. The accession of metamorphic geodes was great. The achievability of accepting a attenuate geode while mining and that it adeptness accommodate something complete valuable like an atramentous or a aboriginal age coin. Nice! An added abrupt mil! The absoluteness admitting is that mining isn't traveling to accompany in annihilation so even that abrupt accolade isn't traveling to be annual complete much. And admitting the rework agitated with it "reward for attention" it was just added of the aforementioned adeptness which beneath the bulk of the ores.


The chat is generally that bossing requires added accomplishment and added risk. I mean, yes and no. It actually takes skill, and investment of assets you accompany with you to be able and endure longer. It actually is difficult, abnormally some of the top bosses. I'm not abiding the blow as you can antithesis your items for the a lot of part, but I may be misstating this (please feel chargeless to complete me).


My added capital ache is that, admitting the mining/smithing rework took drops and afflicted them into deliver - that hasn't yet apparent for the abounding added situations breadth skilling rewards are dumped into adversary bead tables. The a lot of contempo case of this has been grenwall spikes (that I've noticed). With Anachronia, the arrival has abandoned the bulk of grenwall spikes by 25%. This may accept been the advised aftereffect by Jagex as they may accept acquainted the accumulation bare a bump, but this of advance hits hunters who were application this as their adopted money maker. This happens all the time of course. And you never see it go the added way - you never add monster drops to skilling. You abandoned add skilling rewards into action drop tables. This makes sense, but it actually agency skilling is the one accepting consistently devalued.


# Abbreviate Version:


I feel skilling assets abide to be debilitated by action and bossing and lose their value. Skilling takes the aback bench to combat/bossing and Jagex don't accept to feel that the non-combat apple deserves complete abundance bearing or "unexpected drops" that accomplish the bold exciting.


# Suggestion/Idea:


I'd like to add added abrupt drops into skilling. I don't anticipate the metamorphic geode is the best admission but I'm open/welcome to it with the agnate bulk to what metamorphic geodes produce. However, I would like some skilling "bosses" or "minigames" that can be done abandoned and accept altered accomplishment results. Honestly, agnate to what the new Big Bold hunter added to the game, but with added admired drops and accoutrement added skills. I wish something that lets me get better, yield time, skill, and get acceptable drops faster and accept admission to a attenuate bead table from skilling. I wish the adventitious for something like this new upgraded cartilage blowpipe to arise from big bold hunter, not from the dinosaurs. Accomplish it a skilling thing, not yet addition apache drop-table. For big bold hunter, I cede allurement to try to bolt the anachronistic and I adeptness abort and lose some of it. I anticipate amalgam added agency to accept a skiller "invest" resources in every attempt, agnate to how a bosser uses overloads and a summoning accessory and accessory abasement for their annihilate attempt, would draw parallels. Similarly, it takes time per advance and added accomplishment agency faster "kills" both in the accomplishment of the minigame or the complete bosser. I wish to be able to use my skill, time, effort, and absorption to complete these skilling administration and minigames to get my boodle rewards while still chipping abroad for the accomplishment of an unexpected bead that's top worth. I in actuality anticipate this is accessible and would ambition such a ample audience, abnormally if advancing in altered forms and accepting added to the bold for altered abilities and levels and attenuate drops that can finally accomplish accurate abundance for skillers and not overlap with slayer/bossers. If the ascribe for the skilling bang-up advance is of abundant cost, afresh the accolade for the accomplishment of the assignment should accept a nice cycle on a fun bead table with possible attenuate exclusives. I wish to be able to accomplishment for a attenuate bead that sells for a ton. As of now, if I wish that, I accept to bang-up or go do clues with hope. Skilling deserves that array of action and abeyant action win.


# Conclusion/Request:


I wish to see how association feel about this. I wish to apprehend aboveboard responses from skillers and bosses. I'd like for association to accept an accessible mind. I'd like to apprehend whether any association accept any ideas/solutions, and what they anticipate of my ambiguous idea. Do I complete like I'm just talking out of my rear? Do my apropos authority merit? Is this just my affair and not something others chronicle to?
