This year is coming to and end and what Jagex called the year of improvements. What is one update you want in 2010?


I just want the new skill to be fun.

[Goalie]

Well of course the new skill is what people want!

I hope the new skill is unlike anything we've ever had in RuneScape. Something to change the skill-grinding we are so used to now. Similar to the release of construction per say.

[Skiller]

I agree with Goalie on this, something unexpected, but is fun to train would be a much needed update to bring back players who think the recent updates have been abismal.

[Kinny]

A skill called Psychonautics.

[Yspffff]

Sailing through the mind Kinny? I don't know what exactly you mean, so I'm going off the Latin and Greek roots. Sounds fascinating

I'd personally like to see a focus on quests, and on expanding Runescape's storyline in general.

[AlchemyHawk]

The new skill obviously, but since everyone is saying that I will also including other stuff. Thought I must say I won't be training it for awhile probably unless I find I LOVE it (like fishing or slayer) because I have other stuff to do, also it will be extremely busy.

I want more guilds! No not just the "slayer guild" everyone thought was coming out, but other ones. I really like guilds and quite enjoy them, so having more of them would be an enjoyment.

I also would look forward to a new mini-game/achievement diaries thought those are either really good or bad, there is a thin line in between them so I hope they make them good.

Finally a new armour set would be cool, not just for better bonuses or whatnot, I just think it would be fun to have an new armour goal to strive for.

[Marshal Loss]

The new skill and the combat triangle being fixed.

[Liquid Swords]

The end of RuneScape.

[Air Wales]

The update that will fix the major issues RuneScape is currently facing. I don't care about the new skill because I expect it to be crap. Hope they prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Uhm, what major issues are ya talking about?

[Nateisonfire]

Well, I guess I want something done about all the inflation. A skill that isn't boring and that is unique.

I guess fix the combat triangle so it's not lopsided. A guild for every skill would be pretty cool, as stated above. And you know, a quest that isn't completely pointless and is cool and fun.

-Costumer support
-Merching clans
-Updating things that are in no need to updating whatsoever
-Better rule enforcement
-Have your appeal actually read by a person within the promised 24 to 48 hours
-Stop updates which continue to make skills easier all the time
-A request to change the appearance of caracters and the option to keep the current ones, this applies for old graphics to.
-Stop having ridiculous quest requirments if you already need a high to very high level to use an item
-Let players actually decide on an update from time to time
-No neglect towards the loyal fanbase
-Actually have a look at the suggestion forum

So yeah..

I don't see very many of those as major issues, that just sounds like a personal opinion or hatred against Jagex. I only agree with the first two, the rest seem perfectly fine to me.

[AlchemyHawk]

I have to agree with Goalie on this one.
-What is wrong with more updates?
-With millions of people playing it is likely thousands if not hundreds of thousand are sending in various appeals, I doubt they have enough people to read all those within 1-2 days.
-All skills are eventually going to get easier at some point, otherwise no one would use the new updates, I do agree that I hope they don't use like "Light X" though.
-Quest requirements are good: There are tons of low level quests, high level content is what we need and recently Jagex has been doing great at (before they weren't).
-I don't think they are neglecting the fans and they definitively do take player suggestions.

It's my personal opinion as well as opinions of people I speak to or read about.

Then don't tell players that your ban/mute can be lifted earlier than 24 hours if you do not have the sources to do so. It's very easy.

I don't agree. First, you don't have to influence the value of a skill (in term of hours you work for a skill), just for the sake of an update. Slayer for exaple is a challenge, why should you take this challenge away?

This actually came from a rant I saw about the Prayer Update. I agree on the fact that quests requirments are in some cases good. But if it takes 80M+ GP or more to get 95 prayer for Turmoil, why should you have to endure all the loss in money AND do a quest to just to use it? It just seems a little overdone to me. And I personally don't think they are doing a "great" job, if they did the rant forum wouldn't have over 1M posts by now, but i'm getting off topic.

About the neclecting, that's opinion based. Yet when I compare the updates to the suggestions made on the forums (which are really good and consturctive for most parts), I really don't get the feeling that they are doing everything they can to listen to player suggestions.

-Customer Support could be improved and I'm sure many of you will agree, and a few may not.
-Merchanting clans, most if not all of this community will probably agree that they are ruining the economy of the game and that if they aren't stopped soon then there could be larger consequences than there is currently.
-Updating things that don't need to be changed, the font for example. No players asked for it to be changed, yet it occured unexpectedly. Change can be good, but if it's not required, then why implement it?
-Better rule inforcement, hmm, not sure about this one. The rules I think fit to the game alright, although I think there should be a separate rule for Spamming. I think it shouldn't be included with Offensive Language.
-With Jagex recieving thousands of appeals for bans/mutes each day I doubt very much that they can employ enough staff to cater for the amounts of appeals they get each day for them to all to be read by an actual living person. It's easier and cheaper for the company to process them with a computer probably.
-Updates that are continually making skills easier have their pros and cons, but the occasional update say every half a year or so for a particular skill would be ok.
-I like the current appearance of characters, if they were to change it, it would be another update that isn't needed.
-Quest requirements have been getting increasingly higher, but that is probably because of more players reaching the end of the game and requiring more of a challenge. Though some of the newer players may not have the requirements, they can train to get them.
-Players do decide on some of the updates, Holiday event items were chosen by poll, so were some of the Achievement diaries. I also believe they had a poll for a new skill a couple of years back.
-Jagex don't neglect players, they most likely don't have the staff to cater for every single player.
-And some of the suggestions in the suggestions forum have actually been implemented.

Except for the last couple of points, I agree with Air.

Sorry but it just seems to me like you are hating on Jagex and looking at all the downsides. If you really hate the game that much, I mean just don't play it. I am sure Jagex is trying to make them good (either for money or not it doesn't matter) though. However there isn't much point in arguing an opinion based topic, so I won't be criticizing all your issues.

[Nateisonfire]

I've got another one;

How about another graphics update? I want HD to look more... HD.

Mmpf, call it hatred, call it fierce criticism, but I just see so much room for improvement which would satisfy so many players. I do acknowlage the game has some good points, I just get annoyed over the fact that (IMO), good opportunities are left aside. O well, they'll figure it out in the end..

It's called World of Warcraft

[SimplyDerek]

Idc what anyone else says, you can dis on this all you want and Idc if its going to happen or not, but something I would like to see be implemented is put a cap on how much items can increase per month. I'd say no more then 15-20%.
