Premium is not the best value at all. I pay 5$ monthly for membership. Also being 200m in all skills, kinda sucks when you only get lamps that you have to destroy. I came back to playing Rs3 from oldschool for necromancy. And tbh as soon as I max that skill will be cancelling my membership.

I liked the daily scape as I could do skills in the ones I hadn't got the pet yet. Also could add spins without using them until I could use on Necromancy.

There is an updated news post on the home page with some changes coming.

The first 2 daily missions will give all the daily XP, and it will be equal to 2 large lamps rather than small, medium, large.

Options to filter all the notifications.

Reminder that new special missions will be added alongside new content updates.

They are looking for feedback on the buff system. Like what we want in there.

There is more in the post, but those are the important bits to me. :p

Your "5$ monthly for membership" wouldn't get you Premium Yak Tracks just as they won't get you Premium Hero Tracks. There is no change in the value of your $5.

Being 200m in all skills "kinda suks when you only get lamps that you have to destroy" in Yak Tracks, again, no difference in Hero Pass.

Now the difference is, your 5$ covers both RS3 and OSRS membership. If you cancel your 5$ membership subscription, you also cancel yourself from OSRS. Bye then!

Sorry but was talking about dailies not yak track. Have only completed 1 yak track, and had to buy skips to complete it. Not interested as you only get cosmetics and lamps. Have only played RS3 for the dailies as it gave me spins for later uses. And yes it will be bye after I finish this skill.

Let me add this significant reduction in daily mission time:

"This means earning all Daily XP from Hero Pass will now take ~15 minutes, half of that if you focus on the bonus progression skill shown on the mission."


We are going to be able to complete a daily mission in 20 , 15 ~7.5 minutes, which is in line with the time we used to spend in the 3 daily challenges.

The simplest solution would be to put Dailies back the way they were previously, rewards and all, and if absolutely necessary incorporate that into this new Hero Pass system. That would be enough to satisfy my major complaints.

Unless they find a way to offer Premier membership as anything other than a yearly subscription I simply will not sign up for it no matter how hard they push it. It isn’t a matter of money for me, it’s about the control to cancel my subscription at any time. And to be completely honest I find the entire concept of tiered membership ridiculous to begin with.

Unfortunately, I have made the decision to monitor how Jagex intends to resolve these issues over the next month, and if I still feel that I’m not happy with the direction things go and/or feeling that my time, my money, and how I choose to play aren’t important to them or the community then that will really make the decision for me. I love this game, but I’m not going to try to explain to certain forum trolls anymore why this whole thing was a bad idea both in terms of gathering community feedback, design and rollout.

Personally I dislike the new Hero Pass very much, even as a paid member (very much not renewing the way these kind of changes come in).

I don't see much as was said in other posts how this entices people to go paid more, I liked the rewards for finishing the 3 daily tasks especially when you got a Deathtouched dart which helps me kill off challenges (boss, quest boss) which I'd never be able to handle (due to being horrible in combat situations)

Jagex team, thank you for the post today on player feedback.

Having given it further thought, what I liked about daily challenges and Yak track is that I had agency over which skills to target.

Easily I toggled off skills for Challenges.
Easily on Yak Track I was able to skill & kill.

Hoping you can fix Heroes to easily allow agency in game play.

I don' want to waste my time on maxed skills. I would really like to focus on lowest skills.
Thank you!
