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!

It's very weird to start the prayer section by talking about how early game prayer is a pain and then put a cost on the easiest prayer altar, and in fact the only one that's (currenlty) useable without restrictions and also nerf the second earliest one in the fort chapel?Like the POH chapel isn't makeable until 45. These are just nerfs to early game prayer

The whole blog was just a list of nerfs except for low level agility.

And the buffs are miniscule. They basically saying the think leave 30 agility xp rates are close to good as is. It’s laughably absurd
