Instanced areas would help solve the one major part of the bot issue current in place... we wouldn't have to contend with bots for resources and monsters... (the other major issue with bots would be the economy... to solve that it would require STOPPING bots within 2 days instead of a month or two)

 

Sounds like it's relegated to Tzhaar fight pits, the player vs player arena, not the city as a whole.

 

Sorry, you're still going to have to fight off bots.

 

I wasn't saying that this update was instanced areas... I was basically saying this idea could expand to other areas... sorta like guild wars

It'd be nice to have more instanced areas, but it would ruin the entire aspect of competition and rewards going to the best, strongest, or most clever person at the spot.

Yeah I think it pretty obvious jagex is using instances to bring people across worlds TOGETHER for activities that need people opposed to letting people be SPLIT UP to have free run at resources.

 

Imagine how runite prices would bottom out if suddenly every single rune miner could have their own instance of the rocks.

This would actually be an awesome update for Trouble Brewing.

Prices are almost as low as they can go already (rune armour that is... in accordance with their high alch value)... the high alch value provdes a false floor in prices

runite ore isn't though.

It's sad that I'm not excited about this.

 

Mostly because since it's a member's loyalty type of thing, I doubt it will be TOO useful to begin with. Just the feeling I have.

Burthorpe, eh?

"Why didnt Burthorpe get a graphical update?"

 

Mod Nancy: A graphical update for Burthorpe is on the cards, but I can't say any more than that!

 

 

Maybe aura update will give Burthorpe the graphical update they mentioned.

Doesn't look like it.

the sides of that tent look updated, just in a stupidly low graphics setting.

 

If this stall doesnt bring burthorpe i'd imagine a new troll quests is on the cards soon

What makes you think that?

Cause we know a graphical update of burthorpe is coming and they do like to tie graphical updates in with new content where possible as it maximises foot traffic seeing the updated graphical area.

Or they maybe originally intentioned to release it with Troll invasion but were short on time so never gave Burthorpe the graphical update and just updated the specific new area.

Burthorpe, eh?

I was thinking Burthope as well, plus the background in that looks like a wall in Burthope and the wooden defence looks like its from Burthope as well, but then again it might be a different place.

At least they could give us some better teasers?

Maybe everything we saw is what we can possibly get, and they aren't releasing any more for the first batch. :o

Another teaser image:

 

Ah see first piece of proof that the YouTube vid didn't cover all the loyalty rewards. I think that pic is going to be a "breath fire" emote.

Really looking forward to this update, hopefully it'll be good.

I'm getting annoyed that we haven't had content that lasts more than 30 mins this month. The quest was extremely short, the troll wave defense, though fun, took barely 20 mins and can only be repeated for experience once a month, and the loyalty program won't introduce any new content that will occupy any additional time. The loyalty thing doesn't even feel like a proper update, mainly cosmetic/emote stuff. I hope July offers some solid content. Right now it feels like we haven't had any real updates in a while.

Yeah, June has been an extremely bad and boring month. Jagex owe us an amazing July to make up for this disappointment.

 

The Auras (at least the ones I've seen/heard of so far) don't seem all that interesting, but I guess they have potential for more. Probably won't be spending any of my 'points' on release day.
