First impressions:

It's clumsy and overcomplicated.

It's clearly designed to actually increase DailyScape and reliance on MTX.

It pretty much assumes free players do not exist. Mission: Get 40 Necromancy. Sorry, not happening. There is a skill cap at level 20. Did you forget, Jagex? No, I'm sure you did not.

There have probably been dumber updates at some point in RuneScape's history, but right now I am having trouble thinking of one. Yak Tracks were bad enough. This is even worse.

I was not looking for a reason to play less RuneScape...but that's what I got. :(

To expensive and it just completely wastes your skips if you had any leftover from Yak Track, Challenges, etc. Since you have to pay to claim everything from the auto redemption :(

Would rather the skips just been converted into Hero Pass Skips instead. And be used at your own discretion but nope. Probably not getting any form of compensation out of this blunder either. Rawr~

It was a tad overwhelming to get through the "catch up" caused by conversion. But once I claimed each step from the conversion and other things already done that were in the missions, it now seems relatively simple.

Except: There is the mission to complete 20 assignments from The Raptor. On number 1, I was given a choice due to the 120 slayer cape (like so many of you already have as well), completed it, and I saw I was at 1 of 20. I then got a second assignment, and it was the special "Raptor Challenge" (I had already completed getting my trophies, all three of them). So when I completed it, my count stayed at 1 of 20. I imagine there is the trigger that says "assignment complete, X in a row, get a new assignment" that does not trigger on those (or I just missed it). But it seems to me that if The Raptor offers a "Raptor Challenge" and I accept it, and I get slayer experience for it, then it should also count in the new missions and my count should have gone to 2 of 20.

Small thing. If offered that again, I will decline and get a regular assignment, at least as long as the mission for 20/20 is out there.

Play it a bit, it is different that daily challenges, but not really that different.

True blue feedback?

Love the design and layout of it.

we need to get serious on content for rewards not everyone is into fashions cape as a main reward we need more various options of reward

I've heard a lot of feedback that people liked the simple tasks from "old daily's" over these ones I would greatly appreciate the option to decide over quick daily's or challenging daily's and the rewards to reflect that

the reward of additional daily keys from completing a daily I absolutely loved! and if this has been removed, I'm deeply devastated and want to see it reverted immediately lol.... gimmie my darn keys :P

i'd also love to see the inclusion of loyalty points or Rune coin into rewards from in-game content weather its from premier content or just regular members content

On most days I dont have 3 hours just to grind this out. I will discontinue my premier membership as well and maybe i pay for that 1-2-3 month only where I feel runescapee.

No proteans, no stars, no bonus exp. Just.... cosmetics. Buffs okay. But just no good deal on it man...

It is a good update, no keys, no challenges so I can forget about runescape for months.

It is time to get a life dude, it is time to get a life.... So thanks Jagex, i dont have to worry about RS in semester 1 and 2.

Get a player GameTime distribution based on played time and account progression etc. Divide the players into 3 categories:

T1: get 3 keys (players not playing as much and or low account progression)
T2: get 2 keys (average players)
T3: get 1 key (players with high activity and or high account progression)

You can implement this in 2 weeks. Jagex? Hero Pass, implement that in 2 months... So the reasoning about "too much keys" was so weak...

It is sad that I see more and more $£ signs everywhere.

All of these microtrans. make inflation. So the time will come when you look at a top tier armor or weapon and you will think that just no point to play for a long time to get it. And guess what, you quit. I can let the treasure hunter go, but we came to a point where we can safely say, rs3 is PTW.

Comepletely designed to actually increase DailyScape and reliance on MTX. Plus, the cosmetics doesn't look that good either. Not to forget I hate the way these so called buffs are being brought up.

What's next? Use bonds to increase your DPS? Garunteed unique drop log items? With these buffs your 120 Slayer cape's perk was made even more useless.

The Carlyle Group can buzz off.

It is difficult to imagine how this hideous excuse for an update could have possibly gone any worse. Ok, well if it inflicted us all with a computer virus, THAT would have been worse.

So the pretense is all but gone now. If you are an MTX-addicted shut-in who plays this game 18 hours a day or more, Jagex loves you (or at least your money). Everyone else can just go away.

Be careful what you wish for. A lot of players may do just that. All hail The Empty Lord!

can I opt out of this. always found the yak trak pointless but at least it was optional. understood why it existed, to push engagment, but if it didn't succeed at that I'm not sure forcing it to amgalgmate into something that was working and make it all more confusing and less rewarding is really the idea

I'd be quite happy to have the daily challeneges just removed enerily if it meant not dealing with hero track and it's confusing and, from looking very BAD rewards for pretty mush all of it
