at some point, jagex is going to figure out that people would leap off of a cliff for prestige and organize a big event to livestream people plunging to their doom for rs

I hope he refunded your 30+ dollars for it

I can even use tinybandos ironically as a chess piece

I would like a Bandos bobblehead at some point. This would be a convenient place to put it.

I like how Jagex asked for feedback with the spring cleaner but said ZERO THINGS about whatever tradeoffs they were considering when they took them down
also i'm sorry that they [bleep]ed up the ammo conversion because I was probably the person that asked for that
although i suspect they are conditioning us to stop asking for things

decent by conventional standards? they just took the content from old quests, tore it out of them, and then transplanted it awkwardly into varrock by smushing everything in hard enough so that it would fit, and then literally changed nothing else except turn everybody green, changed the water red, lock off the parts they couldn't write for, and destroyed gertrude's life (and added a doghouse that is a static asset with text added to it)
the only interesting parts were some of the writing, and the rest of it is "hurr hurr our lack of effort into actually changing anything about this quest is canon in this timeline get it the joke is both that we copied everything exactly and that zemouregal would also have the exact same door codes and also every npc has stopped caring about the quest as much as we have" stretched over 30 minutes
the lore bits are vaguely amusing in the sense that a mod written fanfic would be, in that it has zero effect on the actual rs timeline, and reveals [bleep]all when most of the things talked about are things we already know from other quests
like the PoH aquarium, it's mostly reused assets arranged so that it kind of looks like it isn't reused assets
-
as it is, it was the only thing that made up for the general lack of satisfaction from that quest, worn thinner by replays added onto it
-
well, see, they're making one BIG event, and then wasting their time on it
-
There's only so much ignorance to be had before you're starting to just wish the things you're saying aren't horribly wrong.
-
well, they give us all these bonuses, but we don't know what to compare the bonuses to, and half the time we find out years later (like say, when they started showing prayer bonuses just now) that the boosts are either horribly broken and were never actually in effect, or that they're statistically insignificant
and that they're mostly there to distract us from the crazy odds that we can't determine without hours of hard research
it's basically the kind of soothing lies that lottery ads make while writing the odds on the back in really small print except that there's no law forcing jagex to print those
-
hell, it'd give us an excuse to brush off the ol clockwork desk
*brushes off clockwork desk*
*desk vaporizes*
hm, probably should have had that cleaned earlier
-
it's a cross between that and having plausible deniability when players inevitably choose a terrible option, such as half of elf city, on the basis of outright lies created by either party
-
actually, repurposing content has been a larger trend lately (see: most of the poh fishing room content)
they can't spare a single moment these days to make anything new when they're plowing all this time into one shot world events that never get used again
it's the same issue with all of their best assets being wasted on christmas, but now on a regular basis
-
idea: use large amounts of unused poh crap we get from prawn balls towards completing a schematic for a wood, brass, and glass mechanical shark monstrosity with 30 eyes and five rows of teeth
-
whatever variety of reasons they have, it's largely unprofessional for a company this old who shouldn't be just now learning how to put wooden blocks together when they've been around this long
take some of that money they've been getting and either train to become actual game developers, or hire some, but don't spend it on wasting our time
as of now, most of their refinement has been mostly spent shaking money out of us instead of making a game while trying to spend as little effort on making the game as possible (as opposed to making MORE game with less effort), but sod that "this is a business" crap, if that's what they want, then we no longer have a game
-
well, it was more that i was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but then they just had to go and literally monetize goodwill
their business now entirely runs on the concept that they will be forgiven for anything they do by people with enough money, or at least continue asking for money upfront that they [bleep]ing know they will never deliver on in the future because they don't have to
-
time to unupdate the page about tormented demons
i've tried to be respectful, but the next time they ask for anything, i kinda doubt they'll get anything besides several thousand images of giving the bird
it was bad just knowing that they make simple mistakes often, but now we know it's because of a combination of willful ignorance stemming from pride versus being able to distinguish useful player input from the stuff they think they're better than, actual ignorance from lack of experience, and prioritizing monetary gain over even the most basic design principles which a child could point out to them in five minutes of playing their game, and spits on the legacy of the people who used to work for jagex
if we don't act together to address this, they're basically going to just continue spinning that wheel and taking money from people dishonestly

I like how the max number of tank decorations barely allows you to put any of the actual cosmetic decorations into the tank

"toned down the RNG"
yes, i can barely tell that they copy pasted the code they used for the christmas cracker with a chance of a golden cracker in it and wrote "prawn" over it
-
it's great that you compared it to the harmony moss pillars, because those are also equally as pointless
-
it went out the window as soon as they said "we're not touching the one thing that people argue about because we're too afraid to move beyond token acknowledgement of our problems"
basically a statement of we really wanted to do something nice, but we can't commit to it, much less actually create a concrete plan of action towards that goal
it would be more useful if we could build a PoH bathroom, get an ingame copy of that statement of intent, and wipe our [bleep]ing asses with it

Awesome. Time to destroy my house.
they added one more room to the maximum just for this, you don't have to do that
-
okay, Jagex, we get it, you don't like it when it's blatantly obvious that you are unable to provide enough variety in armaments to create strategic depth or your inability to bridge the gap between reasonably obtained weapons and gear that costs 100m, please don't punish us

looks like they just grafted the goat onto the gnome from last year
