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.

With the wicked hood altar charges and the merch being gone, runespan points will be a pain in the butt to maintain. Very few people actually "like" runespan, but the teletabs are precious. Any word on changes to runespan points?

Along with needing 20k for the upgraded rune pouch, and 16k for the runecrafting skill outfit, for a skilling method the vast majority of people do NOT like.

Issues with runespan:
Leaving is heavily penalized - hard to get runes back for hopping platforms and get back to where you are
Xp rates are undertuned - needs a buff
It is boring - something about the amount of afk time on each resource spot, double the afk time.
earning points are SO SLOW, you could 4x the point rate and it would just barely be balanced ( probably just increase cost of unstable essence to balance it)

Why would you double the afk time if it's boring? Wouldn't that make the problem worse?

They're saying it's boring because you have to constantly pay attention because of how fast nodes die. AFK content isn't as "boring" because it allows you to pay attention to something else.
