Demoliboy2's most wanted updates of 2010

Updates is what drives Runescape forward, but JaGeX is always so secretive about their future plans they almost don't tell us anything about their future releases.

So this entry is to scale my most wanted updates i wish JaGeX releases this year. They are by no means certain and some aren't even mentioned (things i just wished they were implemented). Anyways, here we go:

Number 10

Dungeoneering Batch 2

Dungeoneering was a let down for me. But know what else was? Summoning. And look at summoning now, it's runescape's best skill by many, an certainly the most usefull.

How did this happened? Batch 2 came out. A whole bunch of improvement happened and made summoning what it is today. That's why i am waiting for dungeoneering batch 2. Not only to review it here, but to see how can further improvement make this a genuine skill!

Lowering the tokens, or even completely removing them would be a ncie step. Adding more bosses, mroe floors, MORE DNGEONS, rewards other then items/prayers is all i want, and i hope it abides. I also want benefits outside deamon heim, someone even made some nice guesses in the new skill thread, check them out.

anyways, this is very low due to the recentness of the skill, and i dont personaly enjoy it that much, but tis still a solid 10.

Number 9

Firemaking update

You heard me. I WANT FM TO BE USEFULL. I have 99 in it because i wanted to relax and got it eventually. But you know when i discovered it was useless? When i got 500k exp over 99 and i got upped 25k RANKS! In no other skill this happens.

Firemaking is, in pretty much everything but the adze, worthless. There is no practical use for it. Before there were very few ranges, so it had some use. But it still was very little else then a woodcutting ad-on.

We need new ash equipment, blessed fires and on. There is so much untapped potencial it is almost unbearable. I WANT IT NAO!

But i like other things, and thats why this is only at 9

Number 8

Next Myreque quest

Teased that it won't be the last Myreque, I can't wait for this quest. Legacy of Seergaze ended in a cliffhanger (one of the biggest, spirit of summer is still the biggest).

We might even have an Iceyene in our beards (or moustache if your a lady), Draken is still harvesting humans and half of the Myreque is dead.

Also, meyerditch is still a ghetto, and bourgh de Rott is still, well, rott. We need more silver weapons and to star our plans to terminate those balance-upsetting vampires.

I WANT TO KILL DRAKEN, but lets settle for nº 8 ok?

Number 7

New way to train Runecrafting

Runecrafting is boring, at least for me and a lot more players. Profitable, but slow.

We need a faster method of training runecrafting. Or more amusing at least. Like a Polibinding altar that gives you a new type of rune. Like, lets say, a catalytic rune. whaaaaa? you might be asking. Listen well:

a polymental altar that gives you elemental runes and a polymitical altar that gives catalytic runes. You would need 5 of each elemental runes to create an elemental rune and 3 of each non elemental runes (bar astral) to create a single catalytic rune. These would be untradeable. Wouldnt that be a nice update?

How about a new kind of rune? Apocalyptical rune. For what you say? this:

Number 6

New spellbook

We are well due to a new spellbook. An Elite spellbook. Even the contemporary spellbook someone suggested here on Tip.it.

And make it f2p, they need a huge magical update. Make the spellbook only for lv 75+ so they keep the good stuff exclusive to high levels.

How about elemental finishers? And making Wave spells F2P aswell as lowering its requirements. Make a Hydrogen tornado, hitting 45 and lowering strenght and prayer, a Hydro Tsunami hitting 38's and pushing targets 2 squares away (2h speed), a Stone Edge, hitting 40's and having a 1/10 chance of stunning, an Inferno Spin, hitting everything around you for up to 30 and your target for 55's. Make a new staff, imbued in all altars (including ZMI and the others) that gives 25% damage and enable you to use the spell Apocalyptic Eclipse, hitting up to 75 and only usable once every 10 minutes if your special bar is full.

Man this would be awesome. But i am no mager, so this must be a bit low... number 6 it is

Number 5

The Void Knight Storyline

Read the developer blog before you read this.

As yuo all know, I am Tip.it's unnofficial priest of guthix, and the void knights are one of my favourite communities. Not because of their hawt equipment, but because they actually do something for other people. They are most likely the less sellfish people on Gielinor!

They are isolated on that island, and they dont have any contact with the outside bar the ocasional mail-parrot and the greedy outsiders seeking their equipment.

They DESERVE at least a quest, but 3 is even better, bring it on you Newbie J Mod, give us your best!

Number 4

The conclusion of the Elves Storyline

Aaaah the Elves. Not the followers of Elvis, but those trap laying agility expert and crystal wielding beings.

They have great quests with great challenges and great storylines, but everything thats good must come to an end. And mourning Ends Saga is at it's peak, so everyone is waiting for Mourning Ends part 3. WE NEED IT. WE NEED A CHALLENGE OTHER THEN HARD BOSSES. We need a Nomad level puzzle.

And the Elves are the best for it. Leave us amazed JaGeX, make your best and give us what we want. Until then, you this will remain in nº 4.

Number 3

Smithing and Mining Rework

These skills are old. As old as Runescape itself. Yet, so little has happened to these skills outside of minigames.

They absolutely NEED to make a great update to these dead skills, they have great potential yet none is tapped.

New ores, new armour, fusing ores, adding insignias to the armour and weapons. HECK JUST DO SOMETHING!

When i was a newbie in RS, i never bought any armour, i mined and smithed my own. Until i was a lv 90 member, i only hadadamant helms, plate and rune legs, all bought from either stores or obtained as a drop. This isn't like this now thanks to the G.E., but it still needs some work done, they are basicly status symbols/dead skills now.

Give us this now, we know you have it, it's one of the few updates you confirmed, and we hope it will make these skills in what herblore was made: increadible.

Number 2

When Guthix Awakens

Yeah, the title is a spoof, but While Guthix Sleeps was yet another cliffhanger. even worse, a Cliffhanegr filled with corpses of memorable NPC's (Hazelmere :cry: ) and an amazing storyline.

We all were amazed, and left wondering for more.

But more didn't come for another 2 whole years. Bummer.

Make this quest now JaGeX, i am begging, everyone is asking for it, you have the resources. Just make it already!

I want to slaughter Lucien, gut Movario and speak to Guthix itself.

I want new bosses, new areas, heck make a new skill ponly for thsoe who complete the quest! but just amaze us like you did months ago.

Guthix, you know i idolize and love you, please awaken us from this mahjarrat filled nightmare and save us. Let me make you number 1.

and the number one is.......

Number 1

Combat Rework!

YES!

YES! YES! YES!

WE ABSOLUTELY NEED A COMBAT REWORK!

What i suggested earlier about Magic was just the beggining, there are many more fixes:

Completely rework defence! Make it like your defence level divided by half is your chance of deflecting 15% of the damage they inflict you. Not overpowered and usable in PvP, but not overused in PvM (unless you like to tank tormented demons)..

Ranged KO weapons, only Dark Bow is a relieable ranged KO weapon. We need MOAR. Handcannons are also nice, but they can blow up in your face. Godsword don't blow up on you and they pack a bigger punch.

Melee nerf: Not too big, but it needs to happen. GodSwords are very overpowered at the moment, and we just got new chaotic equipment! Something needs to be done.

Defence level boosting/ contitution boosting/mage damage boosting/range damage boosting armour: This is a must, specially the constitution and defence boosting ones. Take time developing these however, one wrong digit might upset the balance.

Give negative melee attack bonuses to dragon hide armour, *not* karil: Melee armour gives negative mage and ranged attack bonuses, why not the reverse? Armadyl got it right, it just need a few tweaks. Heck, even give them a damage reduction. Make the same to mage armour.

These are just to name a few possible changes, there could be so much more i couldnt even think off, but one thing is certain: We need this overhaul, and we need it now. We know its coming. And we want it bad. JaGeX, take your time, but for guthix sake give us this :pray: .

So, this is my list of the most wanted updates for this year, feel free to write a comment to argue/agree with my list, or even make your own as a reply, but at least make a comment on this one ;)
