Setting up a thread here so we can discuss bits we like and bits we think could be better.
Please be respectful, even if you don't like the update, a lot of people worked hard on it.

Please don't focus on the announcement stream, that's a thing in itself and not relevant. Bob says:

I think it looks awesome, from a design standpoint, the padding/margin, readability, etc.

Suggestion: The HP icon should be a button to take us there

I just rejoined Runescape after a 7 year hiatus, and this makes me want to leave again. It's clear they went for something similar to Blizzard's Battle Passes but priced so much higher (2 -3x of comparable Battle Passes. The final additional annoyance is that did it on Day 6 of the 7 daily quests instead of delaying it one extra day, somehow thinking that the exchange rate for tokens was equivalent when in reality you're getting much less per token than you would otherwise.

Visually it looks fine, although it isn't creatively implemented. We aren't getting many cool cosmetics. Many of the benefits are coming in item packs and xp bonuses which only further distance already paying members and other players.

I enjoyed daily challenges, they were simple, and clearly laid out, and you could turn off certain skills and focus rewards where you wanted them.


Don't fix what ain't broke I say unless it's just a money thing; in that case .......blah whatev.

Came back to RS after a couple of year break was using daily challenges as an aid to get 120 farm and archeology up. Now dailys have gone cba any more tbh will probably not bother and just return for dxp events only :)

there is still a daily challenge for farming xp called "player owned farm" and archeology is essentially afk, with porters

The usefulness of vis wax has taken a hit after this update, (no daily challenges to extend or reroll), and changing a mission is clearly not as directly impactful as the previous content.

Perhaps vis wax will become dead content or a drastically reduced piece of gameplay, which may, in turn, affect rune crafting as demand for runes might drop slightly, especially those low-level runes that new players are selling.

This is the domino effect.

Anyone know how the buffs work?

I cannot see anywhere my combat 2% then + second combat 2% buff so do they stack or have they messed up somewhere. Level 5 has +2% combat and Level 25 has another +2 % but I do not see 4% stacked anywhere on buff bar so kinda unsure what happens here.

EDIT - You can find this on the BUFFS menu and it excludes Necromancy
