What do you guys feel that would be a nice contribution to the game? You can go as short as a answer as you want or as in depth as you want.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But what do you personally feel it lacks in terms of what it could have to make the gaming experience all more fun and intresting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I speak for alot of people when I personally say it lacks enviromental effects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, there is "graphical" updates to a area that makes it look and feel more like the suited enviroment but I mean enviromental effects!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, what if you wanted to make the enviroment be snowy or icy? How would you do this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The spell cannot be casted by 1 alone but 5 with the appropriate use. Thus, with all 5 chain casting the spell, you will see places like varrock turn snowy. This has no pentalty towards actually players but monsters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the new frozen wasteland, for 5 minutes only, monsters move slower and attack slower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or how about a windy enviroment seeing people's capes blow by? For 5 minutes, monsters accuracy is decreased.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno, I think Runescape has a LOT of potential to it, effects that would really make it shine, but..I feel jagex is holding back by its consitency in lower level quests. Eventually people will burn out of this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, one may think that you cannot really create a powerful weapon in the game due to a 99 hp cap correct? How about a shield that serves as a Hp Barrier granted the user 40 life?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the life in the shield is gone, it breaks and vanished into thin air. If you keep it though without it breaking, it reginerates your hp x2 or 1 hp every 30 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How about a sword that actually has flames around it? Yes, there is "special effects", but not 1 weapon in Runescape really looks "enchanted" or "Powerful".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex current business plan is going great for them, but change is inevitable, people will burn out. Remember, your best customer is always the same customer, not a new one. Now that Jagex has millions of customers, it does need something new to keep the crowd pleased.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all, you can't throw away 1 million people in hopes for another 1 million to take their place can you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So what do you think Runescape Lacks for ingame content that you would like to see added?

I really like your idea of the multiple mage effect on the landscape... I haven't heard of that before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As hard as it is to not focus on other immediate fixes they need (ahem: banking, friends list, chat/trade, etc.), I think expansions should focus on quality updates that add to the core of the game (barrows was an amazing update...).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since then (and somewhat before barrows) the updates: skill/quest/minigame have all been mediocre at best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Immediate add ons: NONE. Improve what you have Jagex!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Longer Term: Improve graphics (even if this means changing over to downloaded content).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No quest, skill, or item ever made me play Runescape. It's the gameplay and community that kept me playing. Jagex should realize that their steadfast refusal to embrace the RS community (world-switchers... good grief!) is going to ruin them more than they know. Gameplay and community only last so long before they need an infusion of energy or development. These last two jagex seems to be completely missing the boat on as of late.

There is loads more they can do with this game, i like the sound of your ideas (possibly not so much if they were actually implemented).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex needs to do something bold and unexpected within the year to hold on to its high level players, i think randomly generated scenarios would fit this bill. I know little to nothing about programming and thusly how hard this is to do, but i'm pretty sure its possible (as it has been done in other, much older games).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apart from that they could try to make the game more about a team effort than an individual one, there is great scope for adventuring as a team within the context of the game but there is little to no incentive to do so (the quests that require 2 people are a joke and require no co-operation, only Dk and KQ trips actively encourage you to work as a team).

I agree with everything you said - especially the team-generated efforts. However, there some things that work against this. The unfathomable extent to which people try to get a party hat or a level of 99 is only one. The best way to improve team-based play is to improve their clan support. Simple "capes" in the wildy are an ad hoc fix... which was 2 years ago. Long term (after 99's), people play this game because of their friends and the adventures they can share. Otherwise, it seems that as large of a world that RS is... it's just not large enough after say 2-4 years of playing.

The thing i think runescape needs to change the most is the combat system i not exactly sure how they should do it but make it a little more interesting then clicking to attack and then clicking on food to restore health.

weather effects and day/night system which actually affect how the game works, like some monsters only appear during rain,night and such you know what i mean

So it would be more like other MMO's? It's always good to be different then others. I'd rather have them to spend more time on a new bank system then new graphics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OT: I would think we need a better trading system and a bank organasation (sp?) update. In terms of Player Owned Shops (Yes I know that is/was in UO too) and some tabs in your bank.

For me the most important would be better graphics.. This would make the game loads better and make even more players play it. Because the game-play is amazing.:)

Don't worry, you'll be funny eventually.

More f2p things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quest cape goes to bank or wise old man and NOT to inventory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

f2p should be able to vote and use the forums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If these things doesn't change then RS wont be a good place...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ohh and better security.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A world where those who has been member only can use(no members or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

non members allowed)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A world for mods.(if they are going to do something special)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Around everything I want.

it would be kul if u could swim like underwater or at all or fight underwater

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it would be hard 2 do tho

A big component I think it lacks is player interaction. Everyone can better much be self-reliant (train all skills) so there's no need for dependence on others, though of course there will be since it's much too hard to do everything yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Runescape needs to add more unique skills for players and a party or clan system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only real interactions are like the Quests that require two players, and even then you don't need a trustworthy partner or experienced. Runescape tried again with mini-games like Castle Wars, Barbarian Assault, Trouble Brewing, etc. but they aren't terribly effective in terms of uniting people as a team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all Runescape does say it's a MMORPG, but there isn't must true multiplayer going on.

 

 

 

Longer Term: Improve graphics (even if this means changing over to downloaded content).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The current content is automatically downloaded to your computer for easier access the following... That's why the game loads slower the first time you load it after a new update. If you ever look at your processes, you can find runescape alone taking over 100kB memory....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway... What really is lacking in runescape is the graphics... Obviously. Althought I am happy with the current graphics, I can see how it would help getting new players. But yes, this game is already made to the limits of Java programming (not that I know anything about java...)

Maturity is easily what is most lacking in this game.

another thing it is missing is the attack speed consistency is like bad you hit the other person hits you hit boring -.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how about a potion that increases attack speed for a short time but works only with items slower then a battle axe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the fact the moving around takes time how bout a new running option called sprinting that is 2x faster then running but 2x faster at wasting energy so you save time and only time but it probably would have bad effects like making pking harder with every one sprinting away so maybe you cant sprint while getting attacked

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe a new ranging weapon like a slingshot with pellets and i would really like to see a boomerang :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so those are my thoughts

If it's 2x faster AND 2x faster energy, there's no reason to have both... Still the same energy drain per square moved :-k It'd have to drain like 25% energy for a certain amount of squares, just to give you a slight advantage from the follower.

cheats ...jk...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i should add some more animations like when you die you stumble around then fall dead and when u kill someone u get "player x" bones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also when u kill someone you twirl your sword or after you lvl up u do something related to that skill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think they should also add more worlds that require a certain combat lvl

 

 

 

like

 

 

 

1-20

 

 

 

15-35

 

 

 

30-45

 

 

 

40-65

 

 

 

60-80

 

 

 

75+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but i would also like to see a runescape shop availiable in the us..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it would be nice to have weather and other things too.

this is only for time so it saves time while none of the other variables get changed it is just 2x faster and 2x faster drain but all it does is save time think like how much time it takes to run from varrock to fally now halve the time well thats only if your run energy lasts #-o

Don't worry, you'll be funny eventually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

too bad i wasnt trying to be funny. goob job looking dumb.

There does need to be some more player team focused interactions. How about team agility shortcuts?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, one person stands near a wall, and another person gets on his shoulders and climbs up. Then (possibly having a strength requirement) the second person can pull the first person up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another example:

 

 

 

Two people stand back to back, at a start of a floorless hallway, that is too wide for one person to reach both sides. They both hold themselves up by the other person's back and the wall, and both move sideways over the hole and to the end of the hallway. Probably high level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Graphical updates would be nice, but that's happening already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, the updates need to be big, bulky, tested and most importantly, monthly. Weekly updates are too rushed.

I'll go the short way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEW BARROW SETS PL0X!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, that sums it up..

Make the game world itself larger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have JaGEx release their death grip on the game, and let it be a real rpg, rather than: "IT'SOURGAMEANDWE'LLDOWHATEVERWEWANTTOMAKEPROFITANDKEEPITEXACTLYLIKEWETHINKITSHOULDBE" Rpg's were created so that players really could do whatever they want, within the limits of the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fewer cra...*aHEM*...bad updates meant to draw F2per's into paying(or getting their parents to pay) membership fees, and more GOOD updates, like DT, Barrows, Castlewars, and...umm...well...nvrmnd...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fair bannings. 13+ age limit actually being enforced. No censor, or at least one that works well. More quests. Bring back dueling anywhere, and kill the arena.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greater variety of monsters, both high, medium, and low leveled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raised level caps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep Runescape as a Java game, I'm not going to fork out $15USD a month for WoW, what makes you think i will for Runescape?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kill the affiliation and link with Miniclip, it's drawing thousands of immature little kids to the game, who are rude, mean, and help ruin the player community. They also take up character names, and promptly quit, keeping a name from a decent, dedicated player, forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LET US DELETE ACCOUNTS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, I was longwinded... :shock:
