The funny thing is, Wrathmaw probably would have worked in the 2004 era. Would have resulted in way more clans scrapping it out by Wrathmaw doing their best to place high for rewards.

Agree with your point about OSRS original quests. If you're going to do While Guthix Sleeps, I'd rather we get it done as a total re-imagining of what that quest should look like in OSRS. When Silicon Knights was tasked with remaking MGS for the Gamecube, Hideo Kojima wanted them to tell the story their way, because why would he ask them to do a remake just to have them do it the same way he did it? And even if you think Twin Snakes is inferior or better than the original, it is undeniably different and has its own unique vision for what the game should be, and I love that.

[@armandopiloto]

big agree; the difference in writing quality between the osrs quests and wgs is really huge and it seems like a missed opportunity to completely change how everything played out

Something I really like the idea of private servers. Is the ability to practice content. Like raids, in an environment where i can potentially skip over two bosses that i dont have a problem with, so i can practice the mechanics im actually bad at. Like, imagine just a run for Olm, where you get hit for 0 if you pass the mechanic, or 1 if you fail it. He doesnt die, and you can really get in there and practice specifically what troubles you. Athletes dont practice by playing live games, they do drills too. To specifically help with areas that need improvement.

@42:10 Is my exact thoughts. I don't care about someone doing something unique on a custom server. I care about unique accomplishments in the main game.

I think Jagex didn't understand what they were trying to make for wrathmaw. PKers aren't going to give a flying fuck about wrathmaw, the only people killing it are going to be bots and collection loggers.

How many hours before clans lock down the area?

[@checker297]

IMO osrs should take the rs3 route and make the wildy opt-in pvp. It was such a good idea in rs3 as very few people want to do risky pvp and now you regularly see people going to the wilderness with the world events they put in there, plus they could add a bunch of content to the wildy like lots of high end mobs spread roughly through the wildy to make it still dangerous, but with the right setup its the best place to train combat. I think the only things that would need to be changed are stuff where they just shit out loot because its in the wildy.

I never thought about how the integration of Varlamore made it feel more apart of the world than original Zeah did. Zeah felt very closed off just because everything was contained in the continent, and with the birds and quest starting in Varrock, it made it feel interconnected.

not everyone funds fun in being able to buy clothes from a clothes shop. Like, Im team add unique clothes per region in each region shop. But the argument they havent done that cause they dont knw what fun is is nonsense

[@survivormandan8576]

@@porcin3proph3t4 The game at it's core is about Adventure, and Exploration. So when they reveal a new part of the world we haven't been able to reach for years and years, only for it to be the exact same as what we've already had in some cases, is just Lazy, Lack of ingenuity, Lack of Direction. So you are right, maybe it's not necessarily "fun" for everybody to purchase clothes, but it's indicative of Jagex's lack of direction, not understanding basic things like different regions need to feel different environmentally, and culturally so that the player can distinctly tell the difference just based off looking at world around him. Take Falador for example, its white washed stone walls, and large central castle surrounded by a moat is distinct, and anybody can instantly tell what Falador is just by looking at a quick reference picture. So when the game removes aspects of that Exploration and Discovery, it comes at a cost for some players.

[@gxgx55]

I agree that the Wrathmaw proposal was flawed in multiple ways, but I disagree with your overall take - I think "Everything needs to appeal to everyone" mentality is kind of horrible as a whole and turns everything into the same gray mess, safe and boring. OSRS is a gigantic game and people have niches that they like, and that's ok, this is exactly the game that SHOULD NOT be 100%able. I would hope OSRS players would understand, considering we already play a niche game but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case.

[@checker297]

world bosses should be where you engage with fellow players to team up for a common goal, but this means you have to worry about your fellow player backstabbing you for either the gear you are using or the drops you will receive. PvP should be solely about doing PvP where both players come prepared to fight on equal terms, this is bad because one player is being handicapped because they will need to bring gear for killing monsters and use supplies on that as well, while another instantly has the advantage.

Jim brought up a good point about dying anywhere else in the game vs dying in the wildy. Back in the day in RS2, dying somewhere non-wildy was almost as threatening as in the wildy. Nowadays with 15 minute graves and Death’s Office, its pretty trivial to die outside the wildy

[@wesleylowe4256]

RS3 isn’t an inherently bad game, I didn’t even mind EoC that much. There were a number of other things that eventually made me switch to OSRS, the biggest nail in the coffin was the hyperfocus on treasure hunter and events that you basically had to pay money to get all the rewards. You could get portable ranges, fletchers, and a few other things back in the day strictly from treasure hunter and they were absolutely busted. Not only could you plop them down anywhere and train on them but they gave bonus xp and saved ingredients. That one’s obvious but dailyscape was also a drag. Took over an hour just to get all those done every day lmfao

Y'know J1mmy your correct, some of my friends have tried runescape before and they feel like its not the right kind of game for them with the massive grinds but a friend of a friend had some success with a private server they made for some friends in a different game and the friends who didn't enjoy the grinds of runescape and even the main game of that game did end up enjoying the expirence of this server so i will be doing my best to cultivate the experience of my own zanaris world to show the wonderful world of runescape to these people and show that not every grind has to be a slog fest, as long as jagex gives us the best tools for the job and i have high hopes for the zanaris team because of that.

Rework prayer into a Healing / Buffing spec :) they take less damage because they have prayers on that affect areas - EG. a full set of vestment god robes will allow the player to activate 2 overhead prayers and the affect is shared in a 3x3 square with other players with upgraded god vestments it can go to 4x4 square and protect a larger area BIS prayer gear covers a 5x5 area, allows 2 overhead protection prayers and increases stats of players within the area. making it a healer class

[@SolaireIntensifies]

Jagex's take on the whole world boss thing is bizarre. They say "this is only for a small portion of the audience" but people are paying MONTHLY for this, they pay for access and updates. If you're only making an update that satisfies 5% of the playerbase then 95% of the players are having their money wasted. I'm not saying every update needs a 100% interest rating, but at least TRY to include a sizable chunk of your playerbase in your updates. Them saying "if you don't like it don't play it" should be met with "well if you won't give us updates we want we won't pay."

[@cortunix3332]

I mean to be fair wilderness needs more love

[@Elendrial]

That's just how mmos work. You cannot create any content that satisfies the whole audience, and, very importantly, the broader the content is the less likely it is to properly appeal to any particular group. If they want it to be a pvp thing, they _should_ go all in and try and make it a cool pvp thing. Something that tries to be half & half to appeal to people who dislike pvp makes _everyone_ wish it was something else. This has been well discussed by wow devs, ffxiv devs, and probably rs devs at some point along with devs from every other long running mmo. This has even been well discussed by creators outside of the mmo space. Diluting content in the hope more people like it often ends up as self sabotage. Whether the content should be pvp related at all, whether the concept succeeds at what it aims to do, whether the goals are even reasonable, etc, are all very different questions that are v much worth discussing, but "water it down until I might like it" has always been a bad take... and any notion of them not giving us updates is just odd in the context of some of the fantastic non-pvp updates we've had recently 0-o

[@Aethul-wd9ke]

Imagine if every MMO was like this... lmao. FFXIV with no legendary raids because only 5% of people actually do them. WOW without any Mythic raids because only 15% of people engage in that content. Jagex have a responsibility to keep everyone happy, PKers too.

i think what would be a really good use of project zanaris is adding in questlines that were completed in rs3 (looking at your gaint dwarf) and adding them in so you can experience them how they were intended (pre-evolution of combat)

[@deucemoose7852]

@23:33 I'm the casualest of casuals. I enjoy the game somewhat and feel I get my money's worth out of how much I play. But literally every time I'm tempted by the game to set foot in the wilderness it leads to me putting down the game for months at a time. I don't like it. I don't like that it's the best place to train prayer. I don't like that certain items are most "easily" farmed there. I don't like it at all. There's no part about it that makes me feel anything other than resentful for its existence. I would HAPPILY see the area removed. Not pvp turned off or replaced. Just void there. It would be better for my play experience, because at least then there wouldn't be the nagging thought that I could maybe just risk it this once. This is my experience with it. I'm sure that's not the case for everyone, but it is for me and so while I didn't vote for that world boss I am glad it didn't pass so that there's not 1 more thing to just never get to interact with for want of being able to have fun playing the game that I've otherwise opted to play solo on my Ironman account!

[@DominicGreene72]

I don’t completely hate the wilderness, but I’m never going to be a “competent” pvper because life stuff is more important than developing that specific skill set, so it does feel bad needing to assume I’m going to get killed, it’s just makes anything out there a chore in that regard, even if I really want to try the content.

@@ferrariramsgobrrr The issue isn't living or dying, or losing 200k in gear/supplies.

[@TEJR69]

Now with the Project Zanaris, here's an idea I had for quite some time with Oldschool and it all comes to the good old days of Operation Flashpoint waaaay back in like 2003? maybe a bit earlier, maybe a tad later, but what we used to do were these custom missions where we learned how to put together small scripts by literally writing the developers emails and asked for some commands or how to do certain things. Me, my brother and our friends used to play these custom missions on LAN all the time, every month we compiled all these maps and played them one by one from morning till night and these were the best god damn times I had while playing a PC game, period. From usual hide and seek, to "cinematic" missions, racing maps, goofy inside joke-y missions, stealth missions, one bloke even made SOMEWHAT functioning chess in that game which to this day I have NO clue how he has managed to do that where you'd essentially move your pieces by the radio commands and MANY MANY more. With these missions we let our creativity just take the wheel and sadly nowdays whenever you introduce this feature to a game, the game is usually lacking the drive to even play the game. I don't remember how was the game called, but it was purely made for what I was just talking about and what's Project Zanaris about and it failed so bad since the whole point of the game was to play player-created "missions", but with Oldschool, there's already people playing, there's already a community that thrives in creating something new and if it would be possible for people to create scripted "missions" like we did in Operation Flashpoint, I think it would bring SO MUCH. Oldschool community even though is more than sometimes ultra whiny, can get super toxic for literally no reason and quite often ruin what could be a great thing.. I honestly think that if you would be able to just create your own story, with your own world, whilst being super easy to play on these servers (meaning no relogging, no special tab in the launcher, just go to the worlds and there would be something like "join custom server" or something which would lead you to a server list of some sorts, one click join and you are good to go). I might be a little optimistic, but I just think this could not only bring new players, but even spark a start for certain new playstyles and mechanics which could be then just taken and implemented to the main game since even though we are like overgrown babies sometimes, we do be making bangers with the game and for that I shall have hope, that if any of this is gonna be possible? Someone is gonna create a new hot thing with this.

Can’t lie, I think it’s going to hurt the game. Fragmentation of a playerbase is very bad and hard to undo once you start doing it. Bad enough that there’s OSRS and RS3 these will eat from both of their playerbases.

[@thorakvideos2495]

Seen lots of pple complain about fragmentation but noone provides a good explanation of why this would always be the case... Project Zanaris is being built to pull a different kind of player to the game, not the highly invested one in the main game. Also, say we go along with the fragmentation bit; most players play alone or with clans. The big community social aspects of the game have been dead for a long time. Zanaris is going the be awesome for the game and the only downside I can see is that for some it might be too expensive on top of regular membership.

I agree J1mmy, so much potential with Zanaris. Ultimately, it will be Jagex's execution of it. Players have been able to create unbelievably imaginative projects within Warcraft, Source, Minecraft, and countless others. RuneScape is in a great place to start experimenting with a controlled release. I'm glad Jagex is engaged with the content creation community. Personally, I love it. Imagine the possibilities with a Gielinor Games season on a Community Server. It would be amazing to hop onto a random prop hunt game while I'm doing an idle activity in the main game. MOBAScape, TowerDefenseScape, SurviveScape, StealthScape, PuzzleScape, HorrorScape... a lot of potential.

I think the biggest thing people overlook about custom servers is how much dev work is able to be outsourced using them. If players can create custom assets, quests, bosses, and mechanics that already integrate into the game, it’s very easy for Jagex to port over the highly successful ones into the main game without sacrificing much dev time. Not only is there the possibility we going to be getting a TON of new content created through that, but it will already have been vetted on a small scale. Plus, they can always point players to the custom server that created said content and say “We like this, we want to pull it to the main game. Go check it out and let us know what you think.” Easy W

[@jacobr3228]

PvP is hard griefing. Rs3 does this way better by making pvp opt in (or automatically applied if you pick up the hellfire bow). Wilderness flash events that happen every hour, have good rewards, etc. Wildy is packed with slayer monsters and actual content instead of dreading someone running up and ruining your fun. OSRS has all of it's charms and fun, but the modernity of RS3 is something it could take a few pointers from. Let the PvP spaces exist, give them more fun pvp only stuff they can continue to use in those pvp only spaces. Let everyone else enjoy the game without being subjected to griefing.
