Why as an iron can I not use these buffs, if I've unlocked the shit let me give him a few salve doses to access the perk of 1 hour at once. (e.g. I give 2 6 dose salves and get the 1 hour buff) absolutely bullshit we get op shit but minor things like this we don't but I'll bet it wasn't polled or questioned if we do or don't want it.

Ah yes. A drop in player count. So release a week of very OP PvM buffs in the hopes of drawing players back. Didn't you learn from the buffs introduced with Hero Pass that we're not looking for these OP FOMO buffs?

Battle Passes should be just available forever.

Progress at your own pace, no FOMO-time limited junk, just a progression path with some rewards and a premium pass with some additional rewards.

New Pass comes out? Ok. Cool. You can progress one pass at a time, no rush, no hurry, no FOMO. Just an actual good faith attempt to offer you something nice and give you a premium version to also enjoy if you'd like to.

It's perfectly doable and it would even be somewhat nice for Jagex too in the long-term.

Imagine a new or returning player jumps in, you're running a Battle Pass? Ok maybe they buy it . . . Maybe that pass doesn't resonate with them at all though.

Instead, have ten passes available that you've made over the last couple years and suddenly a new player almost certainly will find a cool pass they want to progress through. Or maybe you return after a couple years and see 10 whole Passes to work through? Doesn't that give you some l...

Some solid ideas proposed, any chance this could be added to the feedback overload?

Expanding the time window makes it worse unless it's a buff where you have (for example) 20 hours of the buff to use up in 30 days (similar to how bxp weeks work I think)

will the feedback be via reddit or a submission page posted in a news update? or is that up in the air?

Personally I think the golden cape hunt (and the associated porter buff) went over much better than the hero pass (and associated buffs) largely because the tasks and goals were very clearly defined at the start. Everyone knew for sure there's 10 total tasks for the entire thing (which awarded 11 shards) and you only needed 8 shards to finish it. We knew that immediately as soon as the event went live - here's all the possible tasks and your goal task count. Hero pass is in a very different place, where we have no idea how many special tasks there are, and the progress on it is kind of obscured behind the whole hero points system with different tasks giving different point amounts so you've got to calculate it out, it's less clear, whereas the golden cape hunt was 1 shard to 1 task (aside from jagex account giving 2).

It was much easier to know what you needed to do to finish the golden cape hunt. That helps alleviate FOMO quite a lot when you can plan acc...

No buffs behind MTX pay walls, gambling, or FOMO.

Aka what we've been saying from the beginning. That's the fewest amount of words I can summarize it in.

Wouldn't you just need to look for Quest Complete notification and/or quest point gain?

Alternatively, look for anything that gives Runescore, so achievement hunting in general contributes to the pass. Rewards players for hitting milestones and automatically includes both quests and miniquests.

Priff is the best update in rs history. Mod Elfborn was entertaining too

I had thought so, here's a screenshot of mine, mine are showing as highlighted for each "reward" I've unlocked. So the game hasn't registered that you've unlocked it yet for some reason.

I had heard of some other achievements in RS needing to wait until the next days reset, for some reason, to register that they were completed.

Other than that, gonna try tagging /u/jagexdoom just to make sure it isn't a bug :)

In general content buffs are amazing when done properly. Optional & earned seem to be what makes them good. The damage reduction for tokkul buff (have to grind tokkul), the totem buffs (get the 3 pieces of totem & activate weekly), even the +hp firepit at wars retreat (cost logs). All I have earned through playing the game and are just small little bonuses that are nice to have around. Hope that helps!

Socializing, questing and minigames should probably count.

If the devs aren't too keen on giving everyone 4 hero points every minute regardless of activity, why not making them accumulate in the background, and then give all the accumulated points at once upon doing a skilling action, killing a monster, completing a quest or a minigame? Imagine I chit chat with clannies for 10 minutes while setting my stuff to go skilling. I do a skilling action and get 40 Hero points at once cause they accumulated for 10 minutes. Big dopamine hit, and I feel like my time socializing wasn't wasted

Content buffs within the Hero Pass and beyond eh. That doesn't really bode well for the future.

Killing bosses after you're capped on Marks of War for the hour results in no hero pass progress - it should at least count as a kill for +4 points.

Earning thaler should also trigger hero pass progress.

We will have deeper conversations on the concerns with content buffs - both with hero pass and beyond it

So in essence the idea is not going away and we will be even discussing releasing stuff like this in more contained ways through TH for the right price then

Please stop trying to find ways to ease people into this idea of buying “content buffs” and scrap it ,even if you know you will find selfish people who will get behind it and others who don’t see where it is headed in the future.

Selling further intricate gameplay advantages is not fair at all gameplay wise and leads to a dead game.
