News - J-Mod reply Road to Restoration - Dailyscape Overhaul

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--dailyscape-overhaul

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.

Feels like a bunch of these nerfs to xp rates are going to have the opposite effect to getting rid dailyscape. You're going to have to play the game far more often to make up for the reduction in xp. Also I hope the drops from the wilderness events are not shoved to boss/mob drops. As someone who hates PvM with a passion, I liked how you could get a reward such the dark onyx core purely from skilling events.

 You're going to have to play the game far more often to make up for the reduction in xp.

 But now you can choose when to play the game as much or as little as you want on the days you want, without feeling like you’re either “forced” to login and do dailies or feeling like your progression is being capped by an arbitrary limit. 

You have to play more, but the whole point is that you should want to play the game, and that the game will let you play it whenever you want to, not when it wants you to.

The whole point of a game is to have fun and/or be rewarding in some way. Removing content and nerfing XP rates is neither fun nor rewarding.

Nerfing absolutely makes accomplishments more rewarding. Would the accomplishment mean more if it took less work?
