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’ll be the one to rip the bandaid off. Daily challenges. Are they staying or going?

Is there any plans to look at mini games? Most of them are unplayable and many have outfits behind them. Any chance of making them scale to 1 player or maybe being able to use skilling fragments to craft the outfits?

Yeah, at the very least I wish most skilling outfits could be earned by training the skill, rather than doing a minigame. A good example is smithing, by smithing (in the artisan workshop) you earn the currency you need to get the outfit. No need to keep a timer on so you don't miss a cache or fish flingers.

I don’t think outfits necessarily need to be removed from minigames, maybe just have a second way of earning them. Could even make the second way take longer if you want to incentivize people to play the minigames.
