| 0s | welcome to a quick summary of our newly |
|---|---|
| 2s | proposed skill warding in this video |
| 5s | we'll be talking about what warding is |
| 6s | how you train it and what it offers you |
| 8s | and to the game we also have some |
| 10s | insights into how we've been working |
| 11s | with community feedback and how the |
| 13s | design process has worked so far |
| 15s | warding is a school that is used to |
| 16s | create magical equipment like robes and |
| 18s | imbued rings warning would finally give |
| 19s | players the ability to create a large |
| 21s | swathe or pre-existing magical equipment |
| 22s | there's at filling gaps and improve the |
| 24s | early game being ESCO folks around magic |
| 26s | the terminology may get a little |
| 28s | confusing but essentially warding is the |
| 30s | relation of a magical energy known as |
| 32s | vis this is then channeled into a |
| 33s | material to form a piece of magical |
| 35s | equipment like robes weapons and jewelry |
| 37s | we'd want to keep it consistent with the |
| 38s | smithing and crafting skills so we're |
| 40s | roughly aim for a similar timeframe to |
| 41s | achieve skill mastery for reference that |
| 44s | be roughly three times faster than |
| 45s | rebuilding being an entirely new skill |
| 47s | will have a substantial impact on the |
| 49s | game and it's in everyone's best |
| 50s | interests that we get this right this |
| 52s | new skill gives us the great opportunity |
| 53s | to make a magical combat far more viable |
| 55s | with new types of magical equipment |
| 56s | getting the balance perfect for these |
| 58s | normals will not be possible without |
| 60s | your feedback in the same way smithing |
| 62s | can be trained with only a hammer angle |
| 63s | and metal bars warding can be just a |
| 65s | simple grab yourself a charming lamp |
| 67s | your materials and head over to the |
| 68s | nearest ward to begin training the |
| 70s | warding skill should it come to old |
| 72s | school while after a great number of |
| 74s | benefits to the game firstly a new skill |
| 76s | must integrate with the wider game |
| 78s | meaning the benefits extend well beyond |
| 80s | just warding you can expect new content |
| 83s | new rewards from other activities in the |
| 85s | game especially the hunter skill |
| 87s | something that's currently fairly |
| 89s | lacking watering brings in a new |
| 91s | mechanic called dissolving this will |
| 94s | take a lot of existing items out of the |
| 96s | game making your equipment worth more |
| 98s | and making the game's economy much |
| 99s | stronger but what a new skill like |
| 102s | warding really brings to the game is a |
| 103s | whole host of new content to play and to |
| 106s | experience it will be old school's first |
| 108s | ever real race than 99 who's gonna get |
| 111s | that skill kit first who's going to see |
| 113s | that skill keeper moat first whether |
| 115s | your ass killer a killer or you just |
| 117s | want a gun for links Titans are number |
| 118s | one ranking there's something here for |
| 121s | everyone one question we've seen asked |
| 123s | is why a new skill we send that huge |
| 125s | surveys asking lots of questions |
| 126s | inviting open feedback and most |
| 128s | excitingly |
| 129s | finding out what sort of game content |
| 131s | you want to see a new skill always |
| 133s | speeches highly in the sir |
| 134s | if you couple back with sailing giving |
| 135s | 68% in our design getting fifty nine |
| 137s | percent sure they fell short of a 75 |
| 140s | percent passed mark but you can see |
| 141s | there's a huge appetite from a new skill |
| 142s | content skills are different beasts from |
| 145s | quests and bosses you might have a |
| 147s | storyline you want to see continued are |
| 148s | generally the happy with our approach |
| 150s | there are more passionate opinions of |
| 152s | skilling and rightly so |
| 153s | everybody has strong opinions and how a |
| 155s | skill should work and what it should do |
| 156s | the take sailing in artisan we didn't |
| 159s | work of you enough to create a content |
| 160s | that you wanted we approached warding |
| 163s | differently we gave you the core of the |
| 165s | skill creating magic Lamas but left the |
| 167s | meat a bit to be designed by you this |
| 169s | gave us the benefit of months of |
| 170s | feedback and discussion to inform our |
| 172s | design choices the capture your feedback |
| 175s | we'll use social media forums live |
| 177s | streams videos and we invited players to |
| 179s | jagat HQ we also sent thousands of |
| 181s | surveys to capture feedback from players |
| 183s | in a confidential space all of this |
| 185s | guided the content changes that we've |
| 186s | made it doesn't stop there warding or |
| 189s | any piece of new content must be |
| 191s | something that you want we've heard what |
| 193s | you said we've made changes accordingly |
| 195s | and we're going to continue refining the |
| 197s | skill based on your feedback we do think |
| 199s | warding we're positive for the game but |
| 201s | it is your choice |
| 202s | report reign supreme if you don't think |
| 205s | warding is right and it fails the pole |
| 206s | you won't be able to the game developing |
| 208s | a brand new skill is something we've |
| 210s | never done in all school runescape |
| 211s | before so it should be an exciting |
| 213s | challenge for the team without even |
| 215s | touching on the skill itself there's a |
| 217s | whole host of things that we need to |
| 218s | consider such as even just updating the |
| 221s | genie lamp interface or the skills of |
| 222s | interface itself at the minute though |
| 225s | we're very much in the design phase of |
| 226s | the creation of warding and the |
| 228s | developers are for multiple roles in |
| 230s | this area of course we influence the |
| 232s | design and offer our feedback in that |
| 234s | process but also we are making sure that |
| 237s | it's actually possible to develop the |
| 239s | skill of a reasonable time frame when we |
| 241s | move into development we know that |
| 243s | getting the gameplay right is absolutely |
| 245s | vital for a new skill so it may be the |
| 248s | case that we only spend a few weeks |
| 250s | actually getting the core process of |
| 252s | creating armor in place it's more likely |
| 254s | we'll spend a ton of extra time working |
| 256s | on iterating on that core gameplay at |
| 259s | this point we're making sure that we can |
| 261s | offer the best warding skill that we |
| 264s | feel we can offer a skill that |
| 267s | it's the game a skill that fulfills a |
| 269s | purpose but most importantly a skill |
| 272s | that you the players want to see in all |
| 276s | school runescape so there you have it |
| 278s | we've explained why we believe warding |
| 280s | has what it takes to become old school |
| 281s | runescape spher stepper new skill now |
| 283s | it's time to have your say your feedback |
| 286s | to us isn't valuable you can email us in |
