X3EN Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Current state of RS minigames that force a minimum player count: Barbarian Assault - dead (pre-EoC you could still sometimes manage a game on wave 1 on a certain time of a day)Blast Furnace (possible to solo) - dead & pointlessCastle Wars - dying, but it was always the popular one, not to mention comp reqsClan Wars - rarely used, but this has more to do with warring clans leaving/transferringConquest - deadCrucible - deadDuel Arena - last stages of dying; always empty on all except a single world, in which player count depends on time of dayDuel Tournament - dead; was never activeFight Pits - deadFist of Guthix - deadGames Room - dead; was never activeGreat Orb Project - dead; in F2P at certain time of day you might manage to get a game or a few thoughLava Flow Mien - coordinated through a fc; barely active since warbandsMobilizing Armies - dead; you can only play in 2 worlds and they are always emptyPest Control - somewhat active; will probably die completely after an upcoming void nerfRunespan - active; nearly everyone is a bot, but definitely activeShades of Mort'ton - barely activeSoul Wars - somewhat active (nostalgic sw clans mostly)Stealing Creation - somewhat active (mostly in dedicated FCs)Trawler Fishing (possible to solo) - deadTrouble Brewing - dead; was never active Good luck getting into them.

Ammako Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The only way they can get those minigames to come back to life is by having them give the best exp rates in the game, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 All Jagex needs to do to revive GOP is to remove the activity bar, and provide a tutorial. The round segment timer is already enough anyway! Beyond that, maybe add more teams for simultaneous competition. Like, could you imagine Red and Blue, mixed with the already present Green and Yellow? Perhaps even have balancing limits of two or three per team during multi-team games, as opposed to five or six per team like now? :twisted: ~D. V. "Now THAT would be wild fun!"

Sir_Squab Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Mind explaining what the acronyms mean? I get some of them, but not all. Also, just because a mini-game ins only playable on one world doesn't make it dead. Plenty of mini games are "dead" except for one crowded world. Squab unleashes Megiddo!

It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

iBe Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Soul Wars has always got games of 60+ people going. Not in all worlds, of course.This^.There are a couple of big SW clans left and I know they are very competitive. I've always enjoyed mini-games and it's honestly really depressing seeing this. I have 2 of each hybrid set, guess I won't get much use out of those anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinkholes come to mind when reading this, despite it not being a minigame. Very much alive, but only on 1 world. and personally I find that a good thing, as if friend just wanna compete with each other, a group of 5 can get together on w99 and play 2 games.

My clan would often to go a private world for Fish Flingers because we found it much more enjoyable and interactive than just using W89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBearBlue Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Admitting, some minigames are really dead. FoG is such a good pvp game that due to how exp is calculated now, won't come back (cheap/free mage exp). Sucks because some of those rewards are nice too. Clan Wars was also a fun "wild" without the wild. But I only remember it so in F2P. 1 "Goals dont have a deadline." -xxxgod quoting Lady Shahdie [slayer "Essentials"][click pic for main blog][click quote for mini blog][Worthwhile Auras] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarBearBlue Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 In all honestly, I rather for some (or most) of these that can't even keep going on 1 world or with fcs/teams they scrap and add the rewards to other minigames, D&D, etc. The swordfish/shark gloves from FoG and Trawler Fishing rewards should be added to Fish Flingers. The herblore gloves from FoG should be added to Herblore Habitat/Jadinko Lair or Flash Powder Factory. At this point taking FoG as an example Dragon Slayer Gloves and D'hide coifs = Slayer Master Slayer points rewardGauntlets and shield = Artisan's WorkshopMage Robes and Runecrafting gloves = Runespan reward shop The entire rewards from GoP should move to Runespan. But this is just a few examples...

Ammako Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Players who don't have 70 def yet do.Players who haven't reached the defence level required to use the next tier of dragonhide armour would use the coif of their level.(Also, the players who use Royal because they can't afford the price of Karil's.)

PolarBearBlue Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Why not just have the dragonhide coives player-craftable? I don't mind them being craft-able items. What I gave was just examples. My point was that some of these games aren't worth what they used to be, and instead of trying to breathe life into them (or adding even ore minigames to make up for these dead ones) they should be removed from the game and rewards be placed elsewhere. 1 "Goals dont have a deadline." -xxxgod quoting Lady Shahdie [slayer "Essentials"][click pic for main blog][click quote for mini blog][Worthwhile Auras] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3EN Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 those minigames should be removed from the game and rewards be placed elsewhere. In fact, that is a good idea. Anything JaGeX can come up with (aside from large xp/gp per hour ratios) will revive content for max 2 weeks, after which it will be nerfed and the minigame will be more dead than it was before (if it was not completely dead yet, like Games Room, for example).

pulli23 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The best solution would be to get a new influx of players into rs.. THat will bring new players who want to get -say- max ba rating. 1 First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

With all the penance gear becoming 100% useless in Eoc it's nearly impossible to start a game. Players filling horns tend to play on private worlds.

Hedgehog Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you give them good rewards, they'll die again eventually (see: penance horn), and then players who want that reward will be screwed. Just let them be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
