Miss Lioness Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Plus it's not like they can easily turn concept art into game objects. How often is the concept just not really feasible given their limitations. "What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere." - Cobb (Inception) It is all about that!!!! 1 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'

strilmus Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 considering how complex their models are getting now, i think it wouldn't hurt to make some precise adjustments to what is really a huge part of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 They probably have some kind of polygon limit on their models that would make those super cool capes into blobby/underdrawn messes as usual :( How did that skillcape thing get into the update teasers thread anyway?

Kimberly Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 TBH when I saw it posted on Reddit given how they worded the title I thought they were showcasing an upcoming update. I figured you had made the same mistake initially given your edit, which is why I didn't bother splitting anything off into its own topic. If you want me to though just PM me. Don't worry about it being a short topic, that's not really a problem so long as it's relevant to RS and isn't just a link with no text to the artist's deviantart :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 ^Really they all seem pretty clear to me since they all have quite clear icons and use the exact existing colour schemes, with the exception of dg and div which are inverted. Blue cape, white trim with a shield.Greyish brown with a golden trim and an anvil.Orange and black with a seeker-style eye and a primal helm on shoulder.Teal with purpley trim and glowing orbs on shoulder.Brown with green trim and trees sprouting from shoulder.White with pale blue and a quest icon mid back.Green and red with large metal fists.White and brownish gold with buildings.Black and red with a skull icon and dragon-ish skulls on shoulders.Orange and yellow with flames.Red and yellow with swords.

Sy_Accursed Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We've discussed other such things in this thread before. Does it really matter if we go slightly off topic in a period when we have no actual teasers from Jagex to discuss?At least it's still runescape related and whilst not strictly an update teaser it is a teaser of sorts as it is something we would very much like. Plus rather than derailing the thread with debate of whether or not it should be here we can simply move on and let it naturally fade into the abyss of this thread as friday brings us as new video to salivate over.

Sy_Accursed Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I can't help but feel mildly disappointed by this BTS, did they not have a whole spiel about overhauling it to be more in-depth and more informative than before the other week? I mean sure we saw a couple of bits of nice eye candy and a couple of words on rewards, but the rest is all kinda meh knew it already and in more detail really from other sources. On the positive side Barrows Brothers skip tokens sound intriguing as a high lvl reward thought I really wonder of the necessity of them, surely they'd be of more use for lower levels to make the content a bit more accessible if perhaps your gear is not ideal. Unless of course part of the 'big twist' is that deluxe barrows is coming in the rewards (which is plausible if barrows is involved anyway and Sliske is in the quest) and the tokens will allow us to skip a brother there as well.

Platinum_Myr Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I doubt that will be the lore twist, but that would be neat. (deluxe barrows brothers) It does seem quite interesting, though the BTS videos often can be pretty bland. I am interested in hearing the voices.. too bad they don't usually go back and voice old dialog also.

Yoko Kurama Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 BTS videos and Podcasts are always like that. We'd love to tell you stuff, but we can't, so, uh... we will talk about other stuff or stuff that we already told you about. I don't understand why in some BTS's for this they mention Sliske, and in others not even a word? Are they still debating whether to include him or not?

Are they still debating whether to include him or not?I think it's the 'we have only told you about the first 3rd' thing they keep harking on about. In these 'more in-depth' aka look we showed you some random shiny images they can't show anything at all from the later 2/3 without spoilering where as in podcasts they can just say he features without spoilering. So it's pretty much a case of Sliske is in the later parts of the quest and therefore can't be visually shown in these things. Bit ridiculous really since they already told us he's in it, but oh well thats jagex.

Yoko Kurama Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Dragonkin are also supposed to be in there (or at least the explanation for the SOA), but they have been vague on that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I thought only the monthly BTS was supposed to be more in-depth and the weekly ones would run as per normal. Looking forward to this, the fact that they hardly revealed anything important to the quest makes it way more interesting. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Right on target really for Jagex's idea of being more in-depth.

HunterDexter Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yeah, I like we know next to nothin concrete about this quest. When Olly started on the quest, we heard an Elf would be part of it, Slikse would be part of it, Death would be there. Later on, we only learn about more characters that will make an appearance, but lore-wise we know next to nothing. I like to be surprised. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
