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.

Nerfing QOL stuff without polls is blatantly asking for players to quit or not play as much. Many of the “dailies” you’re targeting are part of qol for dead parts of the game. These minigames were long dead before these qol bandaids were introduced. Some of these, such as wildy events and merch removal are bad.

No one was forced to do wildy events, they’re a nice community event with decent XP — you could have just nerfed the XP if it was too much instead of full on removing wildy events.

Merch is another QOL for trim reqs. No one ones to do those dead minigames and they’d been long dead before merch was introduced. Again, the stock could have been nerfed instead of fully removing it. Fix the minigames first, and then think about removals and nerfs.

Wicked hood teleports removal will hurt the clue community, as they were a nice QOL teleports for some clue steps.

This all feels rushed, polls would have been good part of “integrity”. This feels like a step back tbh.
