Will the free map ever be expanded? (Simply answer with yes or no.)

 

Xsdvd

 

Well, the new skill DOES take you beyond the current free map, so my answer has to be yes!

 

This is probably the only further clue with regards to the new skill.

Are you planning on doing more events such as the strange power?

--------------------

Yes, they're fun.

 

Not quite sure what to say about this one...

 

Also:

Will there be a new high level summoning familiar coming out this year?

 

Fetzki

It might. For now I can say that there will be a Summoning related update in February.

2)Next armour equipment we've got coming will degrade in the style of barrows equipment. - which I don't think is too prohibitive way of doing for things. Barrows stuff gets used heaps.

 

interesting

The new skill will be Mecha (or robotics).

 

Reasons:

Mecha affects all skills by specialized robotic appendages or combat equipment

Jagex stated that the new skill could've been a standalone game (Mechscape was cancelled)

Take a spaceship into space to visit a robotics lab

Mecha is "cool" and "big"

Adds a new "Robotics Lab" room to construction

Adds new "Robotics" to Smithing skill

Adds Robotic Turrets to Castle Wars

that would destroy the whole game setting and be completely ridiculous. even in some semi-steampunk fashion it would still be completely unbearable.

Very interesting concept. I guess time will tell, eh?

I do wish they wouldn't answer the same questions repeatedly. If you answered that the skill is coming out towards the middle of the year don't answer another question asking almost the exact same thing. :rolleyes:

That's why I didn't bother to read the whole thing and hoped to find a summary of the answers in this thread. :P

When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.

All skills 80+

Well I braved it and read it all, I think :P

 

I think they answer the same questions over and over so that the answers drilled into people's heads. I can practically recite when the skill will likely be out, what it isn't and different aspects mentioned... now only if it was Runescape coursework and not ICT coursework I need to do atm :wall:

Why does he even bother answering the same questions over and over again?

Example:

 

This is directed towards the content team. I am wondering if the new skill this year or other skills to come will be applied towards combat. If so, will it raise the combat level?

 

OwnerOfAll98

 

The new skill will not have any impact on combat level.

 

Mod Fetzki

 

1. Can you confirm if the new skill is a non-combat skill or a combat skill?

2. Do you guys like the idea of Slayer for skillers? (The ‘Skiller master’ would ask them to make certain things, or gather certain supplies.)

 

Pro Cheese93

 

1. The skill will not impact on the combat level.

:wall:

 

Still some interesting stuff, though.

3. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL! Will we EVER see a return of the old graphics right before the very first HD update? All before that, in 1 option – will it ever happen, just like you opened RSC again? I know you guys can pull it off...hopefully, you will.

 

Nukerange

 

3. No, we don't see any reason to do this. If you would see it, you wouldn't want it back, I'm sure about this.

*facepalm*. Does he assume that we all started in '09?

I dont understand one thing, i think they contradicted themselves about the new skills dependence on other skills.

 

This is the quotes

 

 

Will you need levels in other skills to do some features of the skill? Jagex answered no

 

and later they said

 

It will involve all current skills of RuneScape.

 

Can someone please elaborate.

Currently:whacking noobs with rubber chicken

it's not about that, it's just pointless for them to waste time and resources doing something that a diminishing amount of people actually care for.

i miss those days, but they are over and there's no point going back

I read the previously answered questions and he said they are working on *several* boss monsters for F2P...hmmmmmm...

 

Queen cockroach anyone? Or maybe something nobody has even thought of? Probably (and I hope) the latter.

 

I love these QnA's! Except for the stupid repetitive questions.

Does he assume that everyone uses HD? Hell i'm in safe mode fixed window!! It's as close as you can get to back then. HD is just horrible textures they have plastered over random parts of the game making some things look awesome and then others still stuck in 2004.

Some really nice answers in there, but again they fell victim to answering all the questions that are the same but just worded differently.

 

e.g. Wat is de new skil

 

JMod: Can't tell.

 

next question....

 

What is the new skill?

 

JMod: Can't tell.

 

 

Multiply by 5 and you have filled up a lot of empty spaces that could've being used for some constructive questions. Still, most of the answers I was expecting (and there was a few that I wasn't) but it was a pretty good read :).

Hoping for something good to come out of the summon update, but looking at what we just got I doubt it will be anything high level :(

 

There's not much of an incentive to get mine past 88 (except of course for the pack yak), spending that kind of time and money to get the charms isn't worth it at the moment.

More plot with the storylines would be awesome. What future updates can you say about this?

 

Luvandpower

 

Lots of future plot is coming. People have generally expressed a preference for us to focus on the plotlines weve already started, so expect more from existing series like Mahjarrat, fairies, the Myreque... Also, we will be starting to go into more depth for a couple of things weve only touched upon before. The Kin still wait, but for how much longer?

 

Paul

 

Most interesting one

They didn't say plainly no, they said "Yes and no. You'll understand when the skill is out." So it will involve other skills, but you won't need levels in other skills to do this skill =)

My guess would be adding charms to over events (imps as they are due an update). Really anything which adds more variety to summoning is welcome.

Think the way hunter interacted with other skills and yet required no other skill to level.

New range weapons, new equipment, new potions and so forth.
