Jagex working hard or hardly working?

Featured Replies

We usually get a medium-large update (e.g. quest, minigame or skill-related) about once every 2 weeks. However, it's been 4 weeks since we've had such an update. Soul Wars come out Feb. 10. By next week, it'll be 5. I don't think RS has ever had such an update drought before. I realize they're working on quest 150, mobilizing armies, and possibly a new skill, but don't you think they should be giving out some details on their current developments?

How can you play RS with that little patient?

 

Jagex have told us that there will be more updates, but they will take time. Trust me, they're indeed working hard.

This looks dangerously like a "BTS gone" thread.

It's already been stated why.

So a short while without an update means Jagex would be hardly working? You know nothing of what they're doing, and secondly, it would be awkward to hire all those employees and let them do nothing all day.

 

 

 

And yes, it's been explained before why.

Well, the updates this year have been rather poor, getting rid of BTS (because they aren't able to keep up with what they say they're going to come out with). I'm not sure if I want to call it laziness... They probably have some of the rs jagex people working with the mechscape people. I don't believe jagex when they say they have a completely separate team and no one from runescape is working on mechscape.

Then you should watch their hiring board, they have tons of new people working on Mechscape.

 

 

 

At any rate, 2 weeks with less updates is a joke. Compare this to a few years ago, when we were grateful for medium size updates once a month.

Back then they had less than 100 people working. now they have 400+ people with millions of players. And uh, I still don't believe them :)

I partly believe them, I am sure they still have a lot of people working on Runescape. Although, I do think that they are giving more attention to mechscape.

Where is Jon in all of this?

 

 

 

They are trying hard, but I think they are being distracted by other things too.

How dare you questions JAGEX!!!!

 

 

 

What a difference a year makes. Last year anyone defending them was cast down like outcasts. This year, we're in March, they've been delivering nothing since the new year, and people are more defensive than Chris Brown in prison.

Get back here so I can rub your butt.

when are they going to release mobilizing armies(like it matters when they announced it i got members 3 months later no member and still no mobilizing armies)

Interpunction is difficult to find these days...

 

 

 

I personally believe that JAGeX mods/staff are trying to do too much in a short amount of time.

It's becuase we've been given reasons for everything right now, most rants are just a lack of research right now.

They're working on the 150th quest, and Mobilising Armies. They said they had some technical issues with those two. The longer they take, the more sure it is that it will be a great update.

Of course they're working hard!

 

 

 

I'm going to marry Jagex when I'm older <3:.

 

 

 

How will the Jagex HQ wear the wedding ring? :(

I'm looking forward to (hoping for) a minor flood of backlogged quests after they finish 150.

Maybe they realized releasing half done updates was a bad thing, and would rather polish it up before throwing it at us.

 

 

 

Look at most of the recent, big updates, filled with bugs.

O.O
