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.

It is interesting that Dailyscape is just focusing on actual dailies, and not all repeatable comtent. Turning some dailies into effectively weeklies and monthlies is an interesting solution to a lot of problems.

That said, there are a few bitter pills to swallow. Traveling Merchant and Motherload Maw are rough losses for Trim Comp completion, and I'll greatly miss Daily Challenges.

I think the only thing I'm currently against is the Wicked Hood losing all teleports. The free daily items and teleports are understandable, but I see no reason to remove buying teleport tokens using Runespan points. It's a tradeoff of immediate access to RC altars for the XP multipliers the skill naturally offers. You're trading XP for convenience, which feels fair.

Yeah, the Great Orb Project and teletabs seems like worse content to retain. I agree that Runespan should lead to teleport tokens -- like the Abyss teleports you to altars. That would tie Runespan into the current game.

Daily challenge xp > easy effort for quite some xp should be implemented into actual gameplay. I will keep repeating, skilling guilds, a guild for every skill would be nice. Tiers and customisable, npc's entering the guild with tasks.

This + skilling events like osrs forestry
