Posted this on the RS forums, but i think i'll get more of a response here; seeing as though Jagex killed that forum.

 

 

Just in response to Deamonheim.

 

It's currently been about 35+ days since the release of it, along with the skill dungeoneering.

 

Regularly, skills only have their special log in screen/main page for the first "2 weeks" of release, it's been about 5 weeks now. And still i am playing "Runescape-Dungeons of Deamonheim".

 

I am not ranting that it "Must" be removed, for dungeoneering is not that bad, people tend to give up earlier on something which they do not have a positive attitude of to start off with.

 

What i am saying, is that, the original hype over the release of the skill, should have faded by now; and by no right, even despite it's large size of a skill, should not be the face of the the game.

 

Jagex have noticeable advertised Deamonheim exponentially since it's release, for it is basically the better runescape, only dwelling in the dark undergrounds of a castle.

 

I'm all for having deamonheim a special part of the game, but why exclude the massive entirety of the rest of the game?

Fairy Tale 3 has passed (the ending of the trilogy), with no special wallpapers or homepage banners; which the ending of the goblin series did. You may argue FT3 was not large, but it was indeed a special occasion; the ending of something is always meant to be special.

 

So wrapping up, dear Jagex, could i please play Runescape - Adventures in Gielnor? Rather then Daeomheim.

I don't mind Runescape having a sub-title. This is clearly not a major issue.

A skill like this deserves to be left for that long on the title page, imo.

 

It's just too special to be removed.

I don't think you'll get more positive responses here than on the RSOF, it's not a big deal. It actually doesn't matter at all. IMO at least.

as long as it's not permanent im fine with it, also, i think the hunter and summoning themes both have been up for more than 5 weeks as well tbh.

Like Beloved said, I'm fine with it as long as it isn't permanent as it isn't doing any harm and it's quite nice to look at :P

I still think it's nice to get 'a' response....

 

It may not be a major issue, but generally the cover of a certain update (goblin ending for example) is removed after a month or so. Sure it's pretty (looks better on splash page imo >_> ), but i personally don't like the title. Gives too much of an expansion feel.

 

The expansion feel, comes from the amount of publicity jagex have put into it (I have seen more articles+reviews of deamonhiem then anything else in "Runescape"). It's just getting too much attention, to me anyway.

thing is, if they implement some of the features of daemonheim in the rest of the game, dungeoneering will have been a paradigm shift.

 

-they got negative attack bonuses on armours right (fixing of combat triangle)

-they got weapon styles right (combat triangle, adapting to armour)

-they got teamwork right

-they made the skill fun (not everyone chooses to spend time on all skills)

 

 

but all of this should have been in the main game. Daemonhiem works great as a testing arena before changing everything around. will jagex do that though? i'm not getting my hopes up

you're ranting about artwork and banners? seriously?

I hope they dont change existing armours, but if anything add new better armours that include the negative attack bonuses.

Doesn't really affect gameplay. And the banner looks pretty nice. I don't mind it at all. Much rather look at primal warriors and celestial mages on the front page than full rune meleers and mages in battle robes ;)

No thread hijack, but do tears work for dungeoneering now?

You mean minigame?

It gives exp, it's labeled a Skill .. nope he didn't meant minigame =/

This. I believe the OP when he says that he originally posted this topic on the RSOF.

Riiiiiiight..... Your gurning about Jagex advertising one of their biggest updates in a good while under the "click here to play" button?

 

Good to know where your priorities lie :thumbup:

Jagex made it give xp...That argument is so idiotic that i will only say this in addition, Hell jagex could make MA give xp too.

well, if they are to re-balance the combat triangle, the most essential thing is to change the characteristics of everything that's currently in the game. otherwise, we'd all be in our good old dhide

And it would be a skill. You dont decide what is a skill. Jagex does.

 

And I remember seeing a rant like this once, except it ranted about the Chosen Commander banner being there for so long...

It's a skill, and skills have had related artwork and graphical style changes up for far longer than Dung has. If I were Jagex, I'd keep a banner about such a large project that was just completed up for as long as they have too.

 

Dear Jagflax,

 

You may think that this is a pointless rant from a kid too young to drive, and you would be completely right, but listen close. You call it Runescape: Dungeons of Demonheim, and I find that racist against the other skills in the game. What about Dungeons of Demonpoop makes it worthy of expansion status? What other game changes their name based on the latest expansion? I mean, they don't call it "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich"...Oh wait. Well, they don't call it Eve Online: Tyran...oh wait. Well they don't call it Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirk...no, they do. How about Dungeons and Dragons: Eberron...d'oh. Hold on, I'll find one.

 

Anyway, I'm finding that your naming is racist. I didn't see "Runescape: Dungeons of Runecraftingheim" or "Dungeons of Constructionheim" or "Dungeons of Hunterheim" when the other skills were released! Where do you get off, making a big deal out of your biggest update since Runescape 2? You are a game developer, you are not allowed to feel pride in your work, only shame brought on by the enlightened few such as myself who see you for who you are: Jerk faced jerk faces who can't program worth [cabbage], and will stick with your game until the end of time to remind you how you can't advertise for [cabbage], you can't program worth [cabbage], you can't communicate worth [cabbage], and you'd better have that update out next week because I can't wait to call it [cabbage] too.

 

Now if you don't mind, I have a conference call I need to get to. We're discussing what non-issue to cry about next. Look for my next thread: "The second to bottom pixel on the whip handle: Could it kill what little credibility Jagex has left?"

Jagex spends a lot of time to make special banners like that, so they should keep it up for more than 2 weeks. If they didn't it would be a waste of time and money.

Well im not sure on the accuracy of how long the previous artwork stayed up but I think 2 weeks is a bit short for any skill, however after 4+ weeks enough is enough. Probably should take it down by now.

 

People are real divs in this thread btw.

To those flamming me, thanks.... :thumbup:

 

Although there was some defence from Omali (i may be 17, but i'm not some stupid kid-.-), he made the point i was trying to make. Sure the artwork is lovely. I realise that, i even stated that the splash screen looks better.

 

It's the title it's given "Dungeons of Deamonheim". That's not runescape, i play Runescape: 24 other skills and over 160 quests with hundreads of locations to explore. It's more than just a large dungeon.

 

I like the examples Omali gave. Those other MMORPG's aren't given a special title because of an expansion. Sure they have that name, but that's for commercial purpose (similar to what jagex is doing) to sell the disk. After that inital sale, the game is still called World of Warcraft. People play that. They have the added bonus of The Lith King, or w/e is inside it, but it's not the entire game. JUST like how deamonheim is not the entirety of runescape.

Clearly you don't understand what sarcasm is.
