New Icon Discussion [BIG UPDATES]

[@Dan3HitU]

My opinion:

 

 

 

Signpost; Exploration/waypoints, you will receive some sort of bonus in the future for venturing into the unknown (similar to unlocking music in new areas)

 

 

 

Claw in Summoning tab; Choose attack-style, for a long time I've moaned at this to various Mods, maybe they've listened? (I have 99 summoning and can't use it due to its full potential due to Defence, although this is selfish and I don't agree that people that don't train certain skills should have bonuses I do believe it would be better for everyone for their familiar to fight on what style you want).

Not a skill.

 

 

 

24 x 50 = 1200

 

 

 

You are assuming the ones you can't see are all on 50.

 

 

 

Its quite possible some off screen are at 25 or something

That's true. You can't assume...

 

 

 

But I put the picture of that next to a normal skill tab picture, and if you look, the scroll bars have the same gap at the bottom. If they were to add a new skill they would have to start a new row so scroll bar space would be bigger and the scroll bar itself smaller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The background of the skills tab has changed from brown to black though if you can notice.

I think you're getting confused.

 

 

 

The new one is brown the old one is black.

 

 

 

So its gone black to brown not brown to black.

Yeah that's what I meant :wall:

[Toad]

JaGeX like the hype and before you all say bla bla construction, that was because it had been hyped up in the past as carpentry.

 

 

 

All the skills have been hyped up in rs2 with that one exception, we'll have development diarys etc.

 

 

 

Plus the fact the skill isnt schedule until fall 2009 or early 2010.

 

 

 

so what the background changes, tweaks to the interface are done all the time, they've hired interface artists to help afterall.

 

 

 

Every update has a little hype now from twitter, they took away behind the scenes and made it more cryptic they'll hype it as much as possible when it comes, this new tab, just a small feature that'll be used everyday.

[No_99_Melee]

THE REAL QUESTION IS THE MUSIC TAB :shock: ... Why's it a horn?

 

 

 

Jk, not that big of a deal.

 

 

 

The signpost thingy is most likely an ingame setting adjuster. Nothing more, nothing less :|

[Tim]

It's voicechat of course.

 

Oh god. I'd quit runescape if that ever happened. (No, seriously I would)

 

 

 

I honestly do hope its Day-night shifter.

[Emmentail]

^ *mute volume* *iPod in*.

 

 

 

Fixed.

 

Runescape will NEVER get voice chat. Jagex will be too afraid of people trying to coerce young children into meeting them in secluded parks.

[Dexek]

I'd laugh if they just moved the logout option to the signpost. I'd also be annoyed if that's what they spend their time doing... -.-

[CampbellMC]

It actually wouldn't surprise me unfortunately, the quality of updates this year has been way below par, and most of them are on the verge of completely useless.

[Chained_life]

Look at the big picture:

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I first saw the clear icon I thought: "Oh great, they're just going to move down the world map and put the button down in the interface", wrong, as you can see in the picture... World map button is still there.

 

 

 

Same thing applies with the log out button \

 

 

 

 

 

I agree campbell, I've been giving Jagex crap every since it was 2 months into the "upgrade year", there's been a few nice things, but it's obvious they're helping the Mechscape team, it would save money (kind of like how Anime uses 1 guy to voice-act multiple characters to save money) and be more convenient. I could be wrong, but it sounds logical that they would help the Mechscape team; and don't think they would tell us the truth either, if they came out and said so, people would be soooooo pissed off that we're getting [cabbage] updates because they're too busy with Mechscape, they're a company, no way in hell they would admit that. We just got to give jagex hell next year and hold them accountable, don't let them slide off like a lot have this year, or you're going to get bad updates.

There are Three different teams; Runescape, Mechscape, Funorb. It's unlikely they are helping out since futuristic-space doesn't fit their job skills.

 

 

 

Perhaps this new skill has been taking up a large part of their work-force.

I'd like to point out that a good company would. One with any sort of ethics or respect for their customers. Jagex, however, is not a good company. Because most of their audience is preteen, and they're still relatively unknown, they can get away with crap that if other game studios, Blizzard, Lionshead, Valve, Nintendo, etc., tried it would incite a fiery wave of nerd rage across the net, leading to diminished sales and, possibly, stock prices lowering.

 

 

 

Jagex, with it's preteen audience who know no better, doesn't have to worry about the might of internet based nerd rage.

Or they could be poaching senior Runescape programmers to work on Mechscape, as well as portions of leadership and the art team. They may hire new employees, but those would be newbies.

 

 

 

Or, more likely, they're simply lying their face off.

[meb]

The updates sucking probably has a lot to do with MA being so hard to program.

 

 

 

The signpost could be a new tab for all your teleport spells and jewellery.

[HunterDexter]

That'd be unnecessary and a waste of space and time.

 

The only thing why something gets a new tab is because of something skill related, hopefully.

Anything where an existing feature is just relocated would piss me off more than anyone could ever imagine. Jagex haven't done [cabbage] this year and they know it. :evil:

Well it is the year of upgrades?

 

 

 

And they have done a lot. Sorting out randoms, getting rid of the annoying running-back thing, new minigames. As well as improving the interface, hit splats, hp bars...

Yeah Racheya's right, I mean the only things we got last year were Summoning,Summoning Batch 2, Runescape HD,Quick-Chat, Increaed bank space, a new account recovery system, Coinshare, Smokin' kills slayer update, and many high level quests.(all of these updates were pre-august too) Jagex is doing a spectacular job, I mean we have the biggest flop minigame and soul wars! Not to mention an out of place hp bar, an uncentered 0 in the new damage splat, and no new randoms! Hooray!

The year isn't even finished yet and they do have a whole other project being released soon.

 

 

 

Even if they say Mechscape isn't going to take resources from Runescape as it gets closer to the release date they WILL be putting some of the RS staff on MS even just temporarily.

 

 

 

You can't say Jagex have done nothing this year until the year is done with, they have at least one new skill in the works for this year. You never know, Jagex may surprise you.

[Toad]

Jagex have done alot of subtle that have tweaked gameplay, high level content people have begged for for years, they quests have been nicely done and have used alot of imagination, the new animations coming, new tab, skill by the end of the year hopefully, maybe another grandmaster.

 

 

 

Why are people complaining? it's like none-stop, no matter what Jagex release people will complain, Priffdinas could be around the corner which has been longly awaited, Jagex being closer to players, more development diarys, twitter etc.. last year people complained that "Jagex don't respect us enough".

 

 

 

I personally liked this year, 85+ things for skills yes please, rest of the updates make them small changes that make a difference, changes unseen can really help, do you want body work or work done under the hud, make the game purr!

While Guthix Sleeps was released in november.

[LegsOSkill]

Voice Chat means talking, you have to talk to the Customs officer to get onto a ship to go to Karamja, Karamja has a port, a port means there is boats, and boats means there is sailing! OH MY [bleep]ING GOD! It's not happening.

 

 

 

In all seriousness, it could be Night/Day RuneScape, which would be quite interesting, could this mean that your character would actually need to sleep? Sleeping could induce things like making beds for the Construction skill, I mean, honestly I don't really know, but It would be pretty cool, a lot of things could lead off of it. Who knows what JaGeX has up their sleeve this time.
