IamDarkjedi62 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello, I have visited these forums for a long time (I used to have an old name and everything, but I forgot it) and I just recently had an idea I would like to share, so I decided to make a new account. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Basically I was on the phone with a very good friend of mine (in real life) who happens to also play runescape and we were talking about the subject of quests. Some people thoroughly enjoy them, others despise them, others do them just because they want a certain item (legends cape, barrows gloves, etc.) My thought is that for certain quests (for example, recipe for disaster), you have to work pretty hard and get an arsenal of requirements to finally complete your goal and if you enjoyed a particular part of a quest, shouldn't you be able to? A couple of weeks ago, I completed Swan Song because I wanted a better training food than lobsters, and I was very entertained by the Old Man's stories that he tells you (No spoilers, I promise) and I thought "those would be cool to see again for a laugh sometime", but this idea hadn't yet came to me. Anyway, I developed the idea of (and this isn't obviously closed to suggestions) to have a maybe a particular place, such as a wing added on to the Varrock Library, to where players could go back and depending on how many quests they have done, could have stories based on their adventure through the quest. This could also be helpful for trying to remember something in a series (The Mournings End series) All in all I just wanted to share my idea because I want to know your guys' honest opinion on if it would be pretty neat and convienient to just leisurely go to the Varrock Library or wherever it would be placed and look back on some of the adventures you worked so hard for. Hope you read all of this, : Dark. Range is my favorite combat skill <3I actually have:26 Summoning18 Constructionand 20 Hunter =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlover Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think this is a great idea tbh. I mean I see completed quests and cant remember for the life of my what the heck it was about or what I did. Nicely Done : -- 2001 Starter -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichermit Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I once heard someone suggest that you could relook at old quest cutscenes by sleeping in your bed. So you'd like, dream them and see them again or something. Do you hate Wyverns or Warped Terrorbirds? Think again! Misunderstood Monsters!Want to become a Champion of Champions like I once was?

Punitive_D Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Very nice idea! At the very least, they could have a summary of what happened in the quest with the ability to replay the cutscenes -- would really contribute to the lore of Runescape, which they've been trying to do. I think this would do more than anything to improve Runescape lore. Of course, it's possible to do the same thing right now by going to Youtube, but it would be better if it could be done in game. That would then provide an incentive to embed more hints, etc. in the cutscenes and dialogue so that the true historians of Runescape could pour over them trying to puzzle things out.

K112 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've had similar ideas. I've settled on a new hot spot in the quest hall of the POH, which would be instead of stairs or a carpet. It would be a big orb kind of thing which would let you see past quest cut scenes. I got the idea from the banker in Draynor who shows you the Wise Old Man robbing the bank through a security orb or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_sunny Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I would support it. :) Nice idea. By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

IamDarkjedi62 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks alot so far guys, I appreciate it. Well as for the POH idea, I think it would be fair enough to make it available to free players as well (even though they have far less quest content, it would be nice nonetheless.) Also, I myself don't particularly construct much at all because I use my money for things better suited to my playing style, but I'll get around to it :D Lastly, Eric, I'm not familiar with my character having a bed, unless you're referring to RSC Sleeping Bags, lol.

Erichermit Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 You can install beds in your POH's. Do you hate Wyverns or Warped Terrorbirds? Think again!

Enipeus Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 that would be cool, and even maybe let you replay a quest if you wanted to that'd be awseome :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamDarkjedi62 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 You can install beds in your POH's. Oh lol. Well as I said, I'm not much of a construction worker haha.

Nenga Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Not a bad idea. Maybe you can even fight old quest battles at the level you were and your current level to see how you've improved. For no exp/drops/rewards of course. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenkana Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I had thought a Cinema Room. Chairs, a silver screen, and even a popcorn machine for added fun! If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is win. Awesome idea. :thumbsup: Only fear God,Know the weapons of the weak,The weakness of the hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadog Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is a great idea. Previously I have to settle on looking at the quest guides on tipit or runewikia to reference my runescape history, an ingame feature would make it even better.

Mercifull Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 In the latest quest you can talk to baba yaga after the quest to see the cutscenes again. Perhaps this is something that Jagex are experimenting with and one day we will be able to see them all again :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Perhaps this is something that Jagex are experimenting with and one day we will be able to see them all again :D Well I would certainly hope so. I mean the two main reasons I decided to post this was because 1. I wanted to get people's opinions on this and 2. If I had enough support I would post on the the official forums but I'm not sure yet..

mervinator_9 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Awesome idea, Id love to see some of the old quest cutscenes, quite a few have probably even been updated since I did them so they'd be new to me. Only difficulty i could see with this idea would be that the game would either have to remember what you looked like when you did the quest or just have you wearing what your wearing when you ask to replay the cutscene. Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandorf61 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I would be happy with anything that allowed you to view past cutscenes. Jagex puts a lot of work into them so shouldn't we be able to enjoy them again and again? I'm an avid quester and enjoy the storylines immensely so anything that would allow this would be great. I like all of the ideas shared here, they could all work very well. Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!

oliboli1992 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 i like this idea, but shouldn't this be in suggestion forums, i hate it when i do quests and i can't remember what i did... [spoiler=Sig] I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
