Ardougne, just to make people rage over the sheep thing again.  :evil: 

[strilmus]

i wanted to bake an evil cake

[Estoc]

Twisted Imp Catcher yes please.

[Urza285]

Twisted Imp Catcher yes please.

I could see a catch-a-wizard quest in the runespan involving you telegrabbing wizards to fall on floating islands.

Quick question; what are some opinions on recreating ingame polls on the poll for this thread? I can manage to keep it updated and this would give us an insight to our opinions vs the rest of runescape.

[helring]

Couldn't hurt, Steph, although I find the discussions on why someone prefers an option more interesting than the straight numbers usually.

[Steph]

Im not looking to completely bypass the actual conversations and debates, but not everyone posts or speaks their mind on the matters.

[Miss Lioness]

Just do it Steph!

Mod Stu wants to know which characters people want to see back for the 200th quest. He's asking everyone to limit it to 3 characters, whichever 3 you want back the most.

I really find it amusing that that haven't actually begun work on the 200th quest yet

Depends how you define "working on". Brainstorming ideas and coming up with a theme is part of working on it.

[Arceus]

But how much of the graphical assets and whatever else could they have done already if they don't even know which characters are going to be in it, or which plots they're going to include?  They could grreenscreen some cutscenes but I don't see what else.

[helring]

They're probably going to be using a lot of already done graphics. Considering they're re-using a city, as well as several characters already in game.

[Arceus]

That may be a good shortcut but it doesn't really count as having worked on it my book.

I'm all for it.

 

I was actually thinking about making an officiated post for the tip.it community for Runelabs pretty soon here too. We have a lot of good minds and a few great ideas come about every once in a while that I think merit some support.

[Yoko Kurama]

Does anyone else remember when we were actually polled on important and relevant game updates on PTTP? Yeah, me neither....

 

Meanwhile on OSRS... All important and relevant updates are polled and the team immediately sets out to work on top priorities in a timely fashion.

 

The polls are a joke, and the PTTP is a gimmick, not something that Jagex treats seriously. Hell, earlier this year they did the Clue Rework update (and it was voted by the players that they wanted things like Effigies as clue rewards to buff up the value of the average clue - so that clues, even when you don't get uber lucky were worth doing, and this was not even mentioned once on the sneak preview for the clue rework stream a week ago. They seem to be ignoring the poll results and doing something different - hopefully I'm wrong) What a difference the determination of the content team can make to the quality of the game, as evidenced by OSRS.

 

Another thing; I never ever see Mod Ash or the OSRS team brag about how awesome it is that they poll stuff. They just poll people, and justify decisions on the basis of polls - they don't have to brag about what an awesome job they're doing because their actions speak louder than their words. Whereas in RS3 Mod Mark can't finish a single sentence without bragging about and hyping PTTP, even though as of late we get polled on the most irrelevat and trivial stuff. Why is that? Maybe it's because Jagex is desperately trying to convince us of the veracity of their gimmick, because their actions really don't confirm their claims about the importance PTTP; ie, they don't treat it seriously, so they compensate by bragging about it all the time.

The flip side is on OSRS you get every minority whining when they don't get their way in the polls. They believe that they're the majority and how the RS apocalypse is drawing near unless the polls are reversed.

Well they are idiots who should (and I presume are) be safely ignored. OSRS is a lot better off because of their system.

Sounds familiar.

1. Make "Power to the Players" system.
2. Offer only polls with Jagex approved outcomes.
3. Justify ignoring of player suggestions by claiming they're not through official channels.

Players have less power now than they've ever had.

[Sy_Accursed]

For me the main issues they hit with the main game polls is:

 

1) They almost never give things a threshold to win - it's just biggest number. So often times the 'winner' was actually wanted by less than 1/2 of voters.

 

2) They put things in to be polled as an "idea" without having checked game balance first and therefore end up cutting features which were exactly the features that garnered votes.

 

3) Instead of polling A feature they more often than not poll several features that should ALL be happening against each other, then use our votes to justify new content not happening as it lost in the poll.

[strilmus]

they claim that those ideas don't just go away forever, but then elf city vs invention happened, and weeks later the corpses wash up on the treasure hunter shore
