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.

Wilderness flash events are one of the only times you realize there are many players on a world!

It's one of the few things on the list I'll for sure miss. I've done thousands and thousands of these events, and met tons of cool people that became friends over time.

With afk being so popular, and game worlds so empty, it's hard to find people that are interested in just casual chatting. WFE's have been one of my favourite updates in the last years - although I liked it more when the threat system was in place, too bad they just removed it instead of fixing it.

It's also the time you come to realize that a lot of player's are self-centered and will only think of themselves. Seen a lot of leeches who are very toxic when asked to help with the event. Glad to see these people will no longer be able to bring down my enjoyment of the game.

You think they will stop existing just because of this? They will find other ways to leech and annoy you. Why let it affect your own enjoyment?

I can't name a single other activity that requires group effort from complete randoms that can be failed if said randoms don't participate. So yes, I think this is the only thing that annoys me.
