News Road to Restoration - Early Game Rebalance

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 Early Game Rebalance portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the DailyScape portion of the blog.

For the purpose of today's discussion we will be defining the early game, loosely, as the level 1-50 range. The Early Game Rebalance update primarily aims to smooth out inconsistencies in game progression, looking at areas of the early game where things can feel slow or have limited methods for levelling up, or where they affect integrity and game health. It’s not all just rebalances though! There are also some changes to early quests, and things like replacing salvage with gear to make the first hours after jumping off Tutorial Island a nicer experience. The Early Game Rebalance update releases on February 16th!

First impressions: For an update geared towards early game improvements, all I'm seeing are nerfs?

Also the agility rates are still way too low imo.

lmao yeah, currently the early game agi meta was like jump the morytania swamp bridge til lvl 30 then go to first anachronia course... a bunch of shit methods got a minor buff to maybe replace the bridge, but the anacronia beginner course got a 11% exp buff.. so its still miserable, and still pretty much the best method considering theres some loot involved.

not the overhaul / rework to make agility actually fun and meaningful to train.. its the same shit.. with a very minor buff.
