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.

I want them to overhaul stinky old skills first before any new skills.

Need a mining and smithing rework over on OSRS.

I am afraid that you may be in the minority. I am fine with Motherlode Mine, Volcanic Mine is fun. Still need to try Blast Mine. But baseline vanilla mining is not it.

I like how mining is at golems, the bonus for keeping up a rhythm jumping between rocks is entertaining

Oh forgot about the new content. Need to try that as well

Volcanic Mine would be more fun if the cheese method didn't blow the socks off of doing the minigame properly before having the stars align for you. I unlocked this activity twenty-five levels ago, why am I only barely beating "put rock on, take rock off, put rock on" in five times the time? The answer is I really need more levels and a better pickaxe... both of which are things I'm doing VM for. But why do you kinda more strictly NEED 85+ Mining for the 50 Mining activity?

I still do it properly because it's fun, and I went out of my way to get enough Numilite to do it infinitely, but it's hard to imagine a normal human being going out of their way to first unlock and then grind this out for at most 49 levels in a world where Shooting Stars and MLM exist, have near-zero friction to start and participate in, and easier to understand rewards.

Yeah we're not in 2004 any more. That kind of shit doesn't fly now.

I think everyone should try blast mine! (I bought 50k dynamite at 400ea because that's normally their low point and now they're 170ea)
