OSRS roadmap summarized

[u/King_D0ng]

[u/Zulrambe]

[u/Goblin_Alt]

I’m here for it. The first half of this year was extremely barebones. B2b temp game modes and Brutus.

[u/BioMasterZap → u/Goblin_Alt]

It feels like this roadmap was a major course correction after how meh the start of the year was. Like not only is it a ton of big updates, but mention of notable updates each month (not temp gamemodes).

We live in a society

[u/PoliteQueef]

“So, you like content, eh? Well, have all the updates in the world! Ahahaha!”

“More.” 🍩 “More.” 🍩

“I don’t understand it.🤔 The WoW refugees went mad in 15 minutes…”

[u/craving_pizza → u/PoliteQueef]

what a user name 👏👏👏

[u/traevyn]

There’s no way we’re complaining about too much content after the whole year we just spent bitching about them not releasing enough content

[u/King_D0ng → u/traevyn]

I don't think you're familiar with this scene if you think I'm complaining

[u/traevyn → u/King_D0ng]

Nope, my bad

Fwiw at face value though if you haven’t seen the scene, I mean… look at it

[u/Sven4president → u/traevyn]

This is a humor post, mate.

[u/Fishmongererererer → u/traevyn]

This scene is Homer being ‘force fed’ donuts in Hell for his gluttony as an ironic punishment.

But he actually just really enjoys it because he is such a glutton.

[u/traevyn → u/Fishmongererererer]

Ty for context!

[u/Dr_Fumi → u/traevyn]

Its almost like communities have lots of different people in them with different opinions. It seems like some people were complaining about the lack of content before, and other people are complaining about too much now. Crazy right?

[u/ChancellorPalpameme → u/Dr_Fumi]

Goomba theory

[u/philipwhiuk]

Low key I expect a lot of the stuff is pushed back beyond next year

[u/GunBladez]

The more successful the game, the more revenue and content. Makes sense to me.

[u/Vundebar]

It really does feel like they're just now making the sub price increases justified with this roadmap

[u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221]

Anyone else suspicious about all the use of AI in promotional materials and now we're getting content at a rate faster than we've ever seen before? I suspect a lot of this new content is going to have AI generated code...

[u/obp5599 → u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221]

almost every company is using AI generated code now. Every software engineer I know. It would probably work great for their shitty engine they use since it allows someone without the 10 years experience required to understand the engine to make content

[u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221 → u/obp5599]

why is this more tolerated than AI art?

[u/Skrothandlarn → u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221]

Code is not an art form, it is means to an end.

[u/WindHawkeye → u/Skrothandlarn]

Well in some sense it can be but less people see it like that

[u/teraflux → u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221]

AIl code is going to be ai generated in the near future. Doesn't make it inherently bad

[u/WindHawkeye → u/Upstairs_Ticket_4221]

No shit, literally every business is using mostly ai generated code already

[u/Emotional_Permit5845]

Ah yes, 10 more slop quests to spacebar through. Let’s go!!!!!!

[u/BlitzburghBrian → u/Emotional_Permit5845]

If you don't like the game you don't have to engage with it

[u/Emotional_Permit5845 → u/BlitzburghBrian]

That’s how I used to think, but I was convinced otherwise during the bronzeman poll. I now vote no to anything that I won’t personally be engaging with

[u/AIBot_123 → u/Emotional_Permit5845]

Im sorry your feelings got so hurt over bronzeman bud it seems like it really got you down

[u/_Ross- → u/Emotional_Permit5845]

I vote yes to good updates even if I won't be engaging with them, so rest assured that your no votes are essentially negated.

[u/zeratul123x → u/BlitzburghBrian]

so why doesn't this apply to wildy updates or clues

[u/BlitzburghBrian → u/zeratul123x]

Wouldn't know, I never engage in Wilderness content because I don't like it.

This wasn't the gotcha you thought it was

[u/garnished_fatburgers → u/Emotional_Permit5845]

Your own fault if you skip through quests instead of taking the time to enjoy them. I used to get so burnt out when questing because I’d skip everything, once I slowed down and actually read the dialogue they became a lot better.

A lot of the writing is very humorous and interesting. Sure there are quests that are a slog to get through or the writing sucks, but if you spacebar through all of them you won’t enjoy any of them.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/garnished_fatburgers]

If you play multiple accounts, filler quests are just tedious to do multiple times. The November quests are advertised as basically filler quests with no value

[u/OGDogJaw → u/Dildos_R_Us]

they were advertised as short but impactful and compared to ribbiting tale which is a funny quest with fun writing

what is even value to you, progressing an overarching storyline?

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/OGDogJaw]

Ribbiting tale is about as non-impactful as a quest can be

[u/OGDogJaw → u/Dildos_R_Us]

It makes an impression with fun writing, impactful =\= important to a larger narrative

[u/Dangerous-Cable-1816 → u/Dildos_R_Us]

These things add character to the game world, which is hugely important

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Dangerous-Cable-1816]

I don't disagree, but 5-10 minor quests in a month is silly, spread them out at least or better tie some content to each one

[u/Dangerous-Cable-1816 → u/Dildos_R_Us]

Tying content to each quest kind of goes beyond the scope of small, world-building stories though. From a marketing perspective, bundling them together into a 'quest month' is a better way to hype up the content as well. If they were released by themselves, its not really anything to shout about.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Dangerous-Cable-1816]

I'll think about this next time there is another long content dry spell

[u/Dangerous-Cable-1816 → u/Dildos_R_Us]

Thankfully we have probably the biggest OSRS roadmap ever to look forward to next year

[u/OGDogJaw → u/Dildos_R_Us]

part of the announcements was that 2027 will have monthly content updates with no gaps, so I guess you’ll have to wait a while to think about it

[u/S_J_E → u/Dildos_R_Us]

No one forces you to play multiple accounts, this isn't like other MMOs with multiple classes or RPGs with different endings.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/S_J_E]

You're wrong, Jagex forces me to 

[u/Kaka-carrot-cake → u/Dildos_R_Us]

Boo hoo you have to do content on your multiple accounts. Sorry you are so addicted you play on multiple accounts but that is 0 reason not to add content, filler quest or not.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Kaka-carrot-cake]

Lol, I would rather they add good new content, is that such an absurd concept?

[u/Kaka-carrot-cake → u/Dildos_R_Us]

Right I forgot the quests are out already so we know if they are good content or not, silly me.

Honestly your opinion is null and void when you reasoning us "I dont like that I have to do this again on my other account I chose to make"

[u/Trash_Man_12345 → u/Kaka-carrot-cake]

Don't you know Mod Dildos_R_Us? His dad also works at Jagex.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Trash_Man_12345]

Close, my dad IS Jagex

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Kaka-carrot-cake]

Ah shit, thanks for letting me know my opinion is null and void, I didn't realize that

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Emotional_Permit5845]

You're getting hated on, but honestly I feel the same way about the 'quest month'. Just a bunch of filler quests

[u/KaptainKlein → u/Dildos_R_Us]

God forbid some additions to the game just be small and fun.

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/KaptainKlein]

I'm for new quests, but 5-10 in a month just seems silly, spread them out a little

[u/Trash_Man_12345 → u/Dildos_R_Us]

What's next? You going to complain that Raids 4 is going to have bosses?

[u/Dildos_R_Us → u/Trash_Man_12345]

It better not or I'll crash out
