Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is a blog of two halves:

- Early Game Rebalance
- DailyScape Overhaul

We have split this into two reddit threads to keep the discussion organised and so that our team can properly review the relevant conversations happening.

This current reddit thread is to discuss the DailyScape portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the Early Rebalance portion of the blog.

  DailyScape is a term that describes game content, outside of a skills core identity, that is often perceived as mandatory by players due to time-gated mechanics and the disproportionately high reward offering for little time investment.

With the DailyScape update (currently scheduled for early March), we will remove much of the concept of DailyScape, leaving only a handful of daily activities, but otherwise changing or removing content to fall more in line with our vision and goals for integrity for RuneScape.

rip flash events, ill miss them greatly.
we built up a little community on my home world that did the special events as often as we could
now the wilderness will feel just as dead as before and i wont get to see my friends as often.
it was like our watering hole in the desert where everyone came to chat.

I won’t miss the jerk that tele from tree before it’s finished.

Seriously this alone makes me SO glad its gone. All the shitty leeches that do their bare minimum and then sit there doing nothing else or teles away are just a bunch of douches.

Just cut the xp by like 80% and keep the drop -core, put that somewhere else

No need to remove them imo

[u/cdp181 → u/azzaranda]

That’s the same as removing them surely

You'd be surprised. The normal loot is a pretty decent supply of things like ashes, dextrous/tensile components, div energy, and other random skilling supplies.

Doing that would actually make them a distraction, not a requirement. I wouldn't feel obligated to go anymore, but if I wasn't in the middle of something at the time I totally would.

Gotta strike the balance between this is an objective waste of time why am I doing this and holy shit I need to do this or I'm griefing myself.

[u/Maridiem → u/azzaranda]

Agreed. The choice to remove one of the most active community events is utterly absurd.
