elucin8er Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 We all know the new skill is coming out this year, and it will be in the first section of this year ( jagex said they had combat plans and other plans this year to implement AFTER they released the new skill ). So, it's really not that far off, could be a week, a month, or several months. I've seen many topics on what people think the new skill may be, based on known facts, and I have to admit some of the ideas are quite interesting. Brief recap of what we know. 1. It's not desgined to be a money sink2. Completely different to what's been done before. There are others, but i think 2. is the main point of discussion. Now instead of going into huge detail, ( it's been covered before by intelligent posters, and done quite well ) we'll skip to the point. Based on evidence, what do you think the new skill will be, or hope the new skill to be. Here we can see other peoples ideas and can enhance our own. We will also have proof for the correct guessers in this thread when the skill arrives :P ---------- My short idea ( more so, what I want it to be ): An instanced quest area. Players can participate in groups ( or alone ) in certain portaled areas ( much like rs houses ) each time getting a random scenario which requires you to complete a quest like event. There will be many quest types, and the higher level you get the more you can unlock. Obviously my idea is a sketchy overview, but it's the basic idea. I really really enjoy the quest side of RS, and I know jagex do also. Implementing a quest like skill to me would be very awesome, perhaps even being able to unlock higher xp quests if you complete the true RS quests. --------- I'd like to hear fellow TIF'ers ideas. So if you have a cool concept or think you know what the skill may be, fire away :thumbsup: Proper Daily blogging including Starcraft 2!

Krampell Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Didn't Jagex mention somewhere that the skill started with a b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elucin8er Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Didn't Jagex mention somewhere that the skill started with a b? Later proved to be false. Reading more and more later pages within posts I see the skill maybe has something to do with combat? Eeep Oh well, my idea still stands because I like it.

But since then Jmods had all said that was a joke and in all QAs etc in every new skill answer taken pains to say it is NOT sailing or anything like that and it does NOT start with a b Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would be something fun to do with friends. It's completely different from anything in RS and it could've been a new game (like they originally said it was intended to be).

Technical¯¯¯¯¯¯¯- The Skill is taking a large amount of resources from the graphics team- The Skill will use a whole new game mechanic.- The Skill will introduce a whole new type of gameplay. Skill Related¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯- The Skill will involve lots of skill. And combat.

Instanced areas aren't new and never before seen, theres some in rs already let alone other games.It doesn't sound like a skill. Skills are something you can do as a person, something you can train and work with.

But jagex didnt say partly new. They said entirely new never seen before. And as I detailed originally it doesn't fit as a skill. It's not an ability you (your character) can learn to do. It just seems more like a mini-game.

Saunamajuri Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It already sounds awesome, althought we dont know pretty much anything about it. I have no idea what`s it gonna be. And actually im not hoping anything, so im not gonna disappoint if it is not what I hoped. "An Amateur practices until he can get it right. A Professional practices until he can't get it wrong."

Emmentail Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 How can it sound awesome if you don't know anything about it? I wish people would just forget about it and get on with playing instead of making up crackpot theories which will probably not even come close to what Jagex are making.

I wish people would just forget about it and get on with playing instead of making up crackpot theories which will probably not even come close to what Jagex are making.It can sound awesome based upon people's connotations with the information given by Jagex. For the most part, when people are told something 'entirely new' and 'never used before' is coming along - they get excited! It's natural for people to speculate, sure - but the basic information and the simple idea of a new skill can definitely make people think it 'sounds awesome' and they're well within their right to believe so. Even if not that - let people speculate, surely you're not suggesting people getting excited is a bad thing? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyonedies Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The 'entirely new' and 'never used before' idea is what has been a little confused. But maybe what they are saying is its never been done in a game as a skill before and that twist is what makes it entirely new and never done before. Im still 95% sure its going to be a instanced dungeon/island/ area type skill.To get passed the scenario we are presented with we might have to use other skills. Im guessing that maybe say your in a maze and there is a pressure plate you have to mine some ore and place it on the plate to open a door a heat plate you have to burn some logs on. As you pass through the dungeon you gain xp which opens up harder areas to get through. At the end of course you have to fight a boss to get the goodies(new high level armour that they hinted at) Idk im just throwing this out there. http://www.clanhavok.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa thank Ham, that's a very good insight into the premises of the skill. It kinda injurs my idea a bit, but I'm sure it can be expanded on.
