Future Update Discussions

Raids BTS out, looking quite interesting actually:

 

[Drazhor]

Check out the screens beside Mod Chris L....Vorago looks ballin'

[Saradomin_Mage]

Rip Chris :<

[Blutters]

I feel like I should be ashamed of how naive I was to think that they ever intended any faction besides Godless to win. It's become pessimistically certain that they're following a set update schedule with the illusion of player input or choice.

Harder Mode Vorago has was probably completed months ago lol.

I'm excited for raids although my melee stars are a'lackin

Give it more hp, make it hit harder

Still wouldn't make it all that harder.

 

It is challenging to add in mechanics that are not rng based 1hit deaths that is hard. Adding more LP and higher damage/accuracy is a super cheap way to make things hard.

Apparently the concept art behind Chris L was for another Vorago rotation that never got made, since he's leaving and it would probably never end up being made he decided to show it for the video. At least thats what was apparently said by him in his friend chat.

Also it's not like the ending was heavily tailored to any one faction.

 

The ending was basically Faction Champion attacks Tuska. Assorted faction npcs remain on Tuska.

It was basically a case of inserting Vorago, Saradomin, Zamorak or Armadyl into the cutscene and changing a couple of npcs on Tuska back.

 

In fact the godless winning probably created more work if anything because they already have 'final smash' attack animations for Saradomin, Zamorak and Armadyl from previous world events whilst Rago didn't have one.

And here I am, just waiting for the beta to have an update so we can see what happened when Tuska won...

I doubt they even made the "if tuska wins" animation. They probably knew what would happen but didn't have a finished version for any of them. Once Godless won they made that one.

My guess is that Zaros stops it.

[DownToFletch]

Didn't take long. Happened around 2pm EST iirc.

My guess is that Zaros stops it.

 

But, that would assume that FOTG is a "past" quest, that all players have already done lore wise. Everything up to and including TWW is already 'done'. FOTG is not. A brand new account has already seen Guthix die, but has not met Zaros until they have done FOTG

I did a lot of Mahjarrat quests before I did ROTM where their "new" faces/clothing (if you paid attention during the quest you'd have seen that once the ritual was completed by killing someone, they looked different). So once I realized that I should have done ROTM BEFORE all of those quests means I did them in the wrong order (not that it matters to me)

 

They can't make it perfect.

Except at least one 6th age quest is also "past". MPD is because Bandos is already dead for everyone. World Events seem to trump quests, and can happen regardless.

World events make a mess of the timeline because their results are undeniably there for everyone but they break the chronology of the 6th age setup.

 

Really, for the timeline to make sense now the series of events needs to be TWW - We1 - MPD - We2 - We2.5 - We3 - Player starts

Otherwise there is no proper explaination for Saradomins power level, Bandos being Dead and Tuska's corpse already being in situ.

 

However since Zaros himself doesn't appear in any of that content FoTG can remain safely in the 'happens when you do it' quest block, especially as it requires MPD and therefore most occur after it.

after sawmill there wasn't really any point in holding back

 

if we're really being op they should include glass production, saving on glassmaking, and randomly creating protean hides while tanning

Lets be real here, all one has to do is join portables FC and get unlimited portables free of charge if you aren't the tipping type.  So it's really not a benefit to people paying $$ other than gaining sub-par gold, and well...bonds are better anyways I'm sure.

 

I personally like the aspect that it brings players together...but that's just me.  

[Arceus]

Bringing people together is great but as a friend said, when you have > ~10 people stacked on a portable, things tend to start to get toxic. But I suppose that's a whole different problem  :unsure:.

That has to do with the people in the community, not the game
