Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

It's not impossible at all, we just don't want to go and rejig long-standing requirements for the sake of a single proposed reward. We'd rather take a 'batch' approach to look at what space could be made and what stuff doesn't make much sense. We're worried that it might erode some of the value for players in something like 'I'm so glad I grinded out 93 Crafting for my Torture' if there's a potential that we just decide 'Actually we want to make something better and now the Torture only requires 85', so just trying to be conscious of the sentiment you sometimes see expressed (though tongue-in-cheek) that the best way to play is just wait until the game gets easier.

I think following the reception to our most recent rebalancing that we'll absolutely explore other rebalancing projects in the (not too distant) future and something like this makes for a really strong candidate to target so long as we can toe the line where high skills still feel impactful and important and we're not just lowering iconic requirements that lead to people blasting through the game faster!

Likely towards the end of Summer or start of Autumn, can't give a specific date at this stage though!

Think we could absolutely allow for Torture -> Rancor and then something like Zenyte Amulet -> Venomised (idk if this is a word) Zenyte Amulet -> Rancor. Doesn't hurt!

The embedded version for sure isn't ideal, especially on mobile. Tough trade-off because the Likert Scale questions (the matrices of statements/topics) are actually really valuable to the team. Hoping we can get some better surveying tools spun up soon and move away from Forms soon because I agree they're not ideal.

That said, the initial survey sits at nearly 20,000 responses from a huge variety of player-types so we're still able to get useful and statistically significant feedback out of them!

We absolutely could make both tradeable. I think this kind of approach comes off the back of some of the annual surveying we do where players in general view the idea of 'non-combat skills benefit my combat activities in some way' (in this case, GP/hr) quite favourably and it gives a stronger incentive for main accounts to level those skills even if they're not looking to snag a max cape any time soon.

Totally agree that the DT2 rings have some extra hurdles that make them a little tedious (having to chat to an NPC about them, break the ring down, get the ingots) and the aim here is that the only 'hurdle' is using the drop on a Torture without so many extra steps.

Have made the team very aware of this feedback. For the time being, the aim is to deliver on a usable DPS halberd since it's been asked about for ages and the survey broadly supports it, but Crush absolutely needs some love and is something we'll be looking to in the future. Cudgels are cool, wouldn't mind seeing new weapon classes come out like polearms, greathammers etc. like have been suggested by others!

This decision in particular was largely driven by the survey data to try and cut through some of the 'vocal minority' potential, distribution for the question around the Amulet's crafting requirement was significantly more negative-leaning than for any other question on there so we felt a change was warranted.

i love this so much

Hey all, just wanted to say we really appreciate the positive feedback on this! We've started some fun experiments with digital marketing and I'm delighted to see how well this has been received. Please let us know if you have any similar ideas you'd like to see us try for ads - I'm already seeing some great suggestions in the comments :)

Oh! That's twisted but I like the way you think

Undecided at this stage! I think it'd make sense as being a part of the default list similar to other tasks with a boss alternative, especially since I anticipate the non-boss Araxytes will make for a pretty good task in their own right
