TWIR: Ninja Strike 14
ProTip Tuesday - 10 November
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Jagex, as part of your ongoing efforts to balance the game, i suggest you limit the amount of TH keys you can use to 30/day.
How to mitigate the damage of TH exploits without having to QA them
Imagine actually putting this statement in the patch notes while running 24/7 365 OP TH promos.
shit...
Rip to all the people out there with thousands of oddments waiting for 75% off stars and lamps.
This feels more like a screw the players change rather than a game integrity update
Note to self: Stop waiting for a better opportunity and take the one that presents itself.
Cold take: It means nothing to put in oddment caps on keys/XP for "balance" if there is no cap on getting the same things with irl money
Essence of Finality amulet recolours planned for Nov 23rd!
Amidst all the MTX drama, I just wanna say - The tutorial improvements are great!
This community is impossible to please
Been waiting for this update for a long time!
Yo Jagex, can we get the memory wand from Birthright of the Dwarves as a cosmetic override for staves after the quest? Looks pretty cool, and a waste of a nice model.
Girthy
FINALLY! We can combine half-eaten blubber jellyfish together now!
How’s your DXP going so far? I’m sitting on 92-99 herb, 95-99 mining, and 85-99 smithing with 21 hours left. The only thing I had planned was herblore, the rest just kinda happened
Finally. Been waiting ages for this.
This is how to turn off wiki button in settings for those asking.
Imagine being a high-level gods core memory and waking up to this.
I know what im doing for the next few days
We will limit how much bxp you can get for game balance; unless you use your credit card.
Thanks, I hate it.
Well.. Thanks...

"It's overpowered to get more than 30 extra keys -- unless you pay us some money of course, in which case you can get 100+!"

What a fucking joke. Game integrity and balance are dead.

Seriously Jagex, well done.

Ever since my fiance showed an interest in playing Runescape, I've been paying close attention to the new player experience.

Hell, I even made a video about her starting out.

So, after a today's update, I made a quick throwaway account and did my best to bumble around the tutorial as if I had no idea how to play. I know I'm not the perfect choice, as 16 years of experience leads to an understanding of the game that I'll never be able to forget, but I gave it my best. My fiance is going to replay the tutorial at some point soon, too.

It's really well done. Gameplay elements are brought in slowly, and explained clearly. It's hard to lose track of what you're supposed to do with the breadcrumb system and the task window at the top right updating your progress.

I even tried stupid things, like using the pot of flour on the sink instead of the bucket. The Cooking Instructor stopped me, informed me that would indeed work as a method of making bread dough in the future, but for now, to just use the bucket.

Left clicking logs to 'craft' them gave me a quick explanation of the fletching skill, and then informed me that for the tutorial, I would need to right-click, then 'light' the logs.

Okay, criticism time.

The criticism I have is small. The toolbelt still isn't explained unless you ask Turael in Burthorpe for guidance. It might be slightly more tedious, but a tutorial is a tutorial, and I feel a proper fix would be to have each instructor give you the proper items you need, then inform you to put said item on your toolbelt before continuing. So right out of the gate, Brynna, the Survival Instructor, will give you a bronze hatchet, a tinderbox, and a small net, and inform you to right-click and add to your toolbelt, then quickly explain the toolbelt's function. THEN, she tells you to cut some logs. Skipping any part of the tutorial should automatically add those related tools to your belt. Skipping the tutorial entirely should, obviously, fill your belt as it normally would.

All in all, great job. Having Tutorial Island back was already a pretty big improvement over 4 months ago, but the changes to clarity and user friendliness have been pretty big.

The title says it all. Every other post is ranting about MTX ruining the game and that it needs to be heavily reduced or completely removed. Now, Jagex limits a by-product of MTX and the community erupts out of anger. What gives? Is it just CERTAIN MTX that people want limited?

Also for those that inevitably will come at me with "Jagex should've warned us so we could burn our oddments!", remember they did say they were planning to limit oddment use after the key abuse a couple months ago.
