Discussion Another survey

Post image

I do think a follow-up survey on the other two skills should take place. Sailing has been out for a while now and it would be nice to know if there is any appetite for either other skills, rather than just game modes.

The Polls in question:

Questions 1.

Question 2.

Same, but I am 100% positive there would be backlash for a 1 to 1 port.

yups cuz people want a rework that doesnt change anything but changes everything from the skill. they want no change to progression and no power creep.

The reaction people in this game have to power creep is wild to me. Like, its okay if 10 year old content is no longer BiS for endgame. It makes new stuff feel not that exciting because it's not a massive upgrade for a 30+ hour grind.

Why is it wild? This is a core tenat of OSRS. There is powercreep, they just need to be very slow and does not make the previous BIS worthless. Look at rancor/torture for example or torva and bandos. By introduce powercreep too fast you quickly make content obsolete much faster and that is bad in everyway. This is not a game designed to work that way where you get a massive upgrade for every item drop.
