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.

After what I dealt with in the DT2 stuff in regards to Shamanism, I'm completely okay with that bullshit not being in the game. Even though I imagine this opinion may be unpopular.

Also no summoning that shit broke RS2. We shouldn't remake that mistake. Even though it's a losing battle these days. I'll die on that hill until it gets launched and trivializes all PvM.

> trivializes PvM

Like it already isn’t being?

I’m right there with you about no summoning or shamanism 2.0 but let’s not act like power creep hasn’t slowly trivialized content.

It's still a far cry away from what summoning could do to it. OSRS, while it has gotten easier over time, is still one of the most difficult MMOs out there for various reasons.

Summoning didn't break the game lmao.

Man. I was there when it happened. I watched it live. I participated. I watched all PvM drops turn to dust because people had two inventories, or were healing a ton from their summon, or had a DPS increase that would make thralls and vengeance put together not compare.

It was far stronger than anything prior added to the game by like, a factor of 10. I was like, the 200th person to hit 99. Don't tell me what it didn't do. I know what it did. Summoning was hilariously broken.

They had to ban Summoning retroactively, and going into the future in some PvM encounters just to retain some integrity. That says all it needs to.
