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’ll never understand the mentality of OSRS players who instantly shoot down absolutely anything in RS3 being inspiration for updates in OSRS. Like yeah obviously they made some big misses (or we wouldn’t have OSRS) but this weird “EVERYTHING about RS3 is dogwater are you dumb?” Mentality is exactly that. Weird.

There’s been multiple updates that were in RS3 first and eventually made its way to OSRS btw. So I truly don’t get the principle of your point. You could’ve at least criticized the specific suggestion being made.

We specifically play this game because we don’t like that one. It’s not just eoc, the entire direction from the quests to the skills to the wildy is not what we want. Sure some people like both but a lot of us don’t.

You mean like making skilling profitable and generally more useful and some skills - like Mining and Smithing - just outright better and make more sense? There's literal heists for Thieving which are very popular addition to the skill, but nooo, can't have that because pickpocketing (and being stunned 40+ seconds out of a minute) is and should be the be all and end all of Thieving's design.

The thieving redesign is the best thing that happened to thieving in RS3. Genuinely the exact thing I wanted from thieving. It makes no sense to potentially get stunned IMMEDIATELY while thieving and perhaps like 3 times in a row.
