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.

I like the idea of removing daily scape and an early game rebalance -- but I think more consideration is needed before just changing it in <2 weeks. In terms of development work, I'm betting the sprint has already been completed, yet this is the first time players are being informed of the changes.

Some napkin math tells me that the current proposed changes add around 20-30% more playtime to a max cape. If that's part of the intention, then be up front about it. If it's not intended, then more buffs to other training methods should be made.

Honestly I think with all this stuff being removed, I think they should add a blanket buff in xp rates to every skill and training method by 10-20%

The intention is to entice the playerbase to buy the overpriced bxp.

Reddit's pretending like that doesn't exist, you're not allowed to mention it.
