02-Jun-2010 - Video Q&A: RuneScape Content Team

[wioneo]

Did noone post this?

 

Not so long ago, we ran a player poll to find out which team you wanted to see in our very first video Q&A. With a massive 39% of your vote, the RuneScape Content team came out top (with the Graphics team following closely behind).

 

I caught up with Mods Tim, Nancy and Trick to ask questions collected from the forums, so if youd like to put faces to names, are interested to hear a bit about life in the team, or just want to hear how theyd describe themselves in three words, youll want to see our first video Q&A with the Content team.

 

Click here or on the image below to go to our official YouTube channel where were hosting the video Q&A. Youll also find stacks of other videos there, created by our talented video-making community. While youre there, please do subscribe if you havent done so already, and show your support to RuneScapes beret-wearing video creatives!

 

The next video Q&A will be with the Graphics team. If theres something youd like to ask them, you can post your questions on this forum thread.

I didn't like how unsure they were about the release of the dungeoneering content. Maybe it was just me but i was assuming it would be semi soon :blink:

Saw that a while ago when it was first uploaded. :P

I expected a similar time lapse to that of summoning(2 months wasn't it?), but the "probably this year" bit makes me think that I personally won't be touching dung for several months.

They show Runescript (in-house programming language) in parts of the video.

[Obtaurian]

It'd be pretty bad business planning if they don't get Dungeoneering batch 2 out this year. They have to have noticed that most players are stopping at 70-80, and a lot more players are simply not training it because they know that the experience will be faster with batch 2.

 

As per usual, the Q&A sessions are only mildly interesting, but mostly frustrating.

[RSBDavid]

They need a QA video with Mr. Andrew Gower.

Personal attacks much? That was really rude and had nothing to do with her work... and way to judge someone on what, a 5 min video where they are probably really nervous on anyway. Cut them a little slack, they could just be appathetic and not care at all, just punching a time card. If they are not updates you like, doesn't mean that no one like them.

 

edit: "you" are not "we" so stop projecting what "you" want and saying it is what "we" want

I actually thought the penguin quests were one of the more genuinely interesting and funny storylines...

Anyone else been noticing in the interviews that they ALWAYS say that the content is something they like or want? The game is supposed to be what we want. The fact that they were even THINKING about adding robots just pisses the hell out of me. The game is supposed to be what we want, not what your content team wants.

we pay we say we pay we say we pay we say we pay we say

Personal attacks on the Jagex staff will definitely not be tolerated here. Please do not even try to post such comments any further.

Okay sorry officer. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was expecting batch 2 to come out this summer (june/july, maybe august), "probably this year" doesn't sound too convincing although they probably don't want to be tight down to any time constraints.

 

Although a release for later this year (final quarter?) does seem more likely seeing the latest dungeoneering blog.

Oh? Honestly, I can accept this as long as it isn't simply because we wan't to stay on Jagex's "nice list". If that is the only reason you are saying this Danz, would you tell us? I am tired of TIF being Jagex's toady. If you are really against a vitriol against Jagex because they can't defend themselves here that is another thing all together.

[strilmus]

Actually, it's because the board has a policy against personal attacks towards anybody.....

 

BTW if you don't like penguins then that's kind of like saying you don't like free weekly exp.

Few things.

 

1.) Several times personal attacks have been made, and the staff did nothing. Danz, who normally sticks up for jagex like Racheya, (not saying that is bad BTW), removes something against the staff of Jagex.

 

2.) Selective enforcement of ANY rule is lame.

[Viv]

yeh im disapointed by dungeoneering 2 prob being far far from now

 

but then if they release it soon and not awesome people will get disappointed i just want the extra exp tbh..

 

i think maybe they could reallly milk dungeon if they added 3-4 floors a week lol then every week they could have people lvling for new floors and also they can take their time making them awesome ssame time

It's not the free exp I don't like, it's the fact that it's one of the most "kiddy" updates of the entire game. The game already isn't "cool" so to speak, but if I was seen by anyone hunting talking penguins that's just 100x less cool.

I'm sorry you feel playing this game is not cool, but then either don't tell people or don't play. Penguins are fun, their storyline is also very fun, that is what I want from a game.

 

If you want to discuss moderator actions, please feel free to PM me, another Moderator or an Admin about it, do not post it in the thread because the most likely action is getting a full warning for doing so. (Lucky I'm in a giving mood at the moment)

Well, remember Jagex said the reason they weren't adding firearms, as in rifles etc. Was because they wanted to keep this game in a different "era" And talking penguins is kinda kiddish. Not saying its bad per say, but I'd prefer time was spent on content such as WGS and TDS, then on the KGP and talking penguins.

[strilmus]

What do penguins have to do with historic preservation?

[Danqazmlp]

But penguins were around in the middle ages (as far as I know), guns were not.

They talked?

Doesn't say anything about their vocal abilities.

[Danqazmlp]

No they didn't but neither did we have magic, demons giant bugs and giant orc's. To be hones, compared to the rest of the RS content penguins are fairly close to being real.
