EDIT: I see in recent patch notes / discussion that I am getting my brekky back (daily challenges). Solid. I look forward to seeing if there are things I want to nab out of the Hero Pass system this iteration and the next. Yak Track, Hero Pass? Tomato Potato. Every now and then there's a nice fashion scape nabbo.

Plain and simple, main grump is sorted.



OLD POST:

I read about the Hero Pass. I figured it was a fair enough replacement of the Yak Trak system. One in, one out, an attempt at matching other games, yada yada. What I'm terribly upset to wake up to is having 3 keys a day and not 6 keys, as I can't do dailies anymore. Must have missed that somewhere in the patch notes - I assumed you were just replacing one system with another, not debilitating my quick and easy daily rewards.

So let's get right down to it - extremely fast daily XP is nerfed. For the 99 Maxed majority this is probably inconsequential and they get a new system. I imagine they are still out 3 keys. Personally, I was gaming the system to finish off my XP. I only had Archaeology not at 99 left - I got 3 Archaeology dailies each day. Log in, dig a hole, 99k XP, Bob's your favourite cat.

Hero Pass took the rug right out from under me, honestly. Sorry mate, no 100K a day for you, here's a cat and a skeleton six pack. I was being directly rewarded for only having one skill left. Terribly rude, to be honest.

Look at my account history. You make an interesting change, I cough up an annual membership. You bungle an update, I go disappear for 1-3 years and come snooping around again later. It's genius, the annual membership. Lets you stabilize subscriptions through good patches and bad. Bungled this one. I'm all for having a go at a different Yak Trak, some ignorable optional on top of my every day, but you took my brekky. I wake up, make a nice bowl of vis wax, and eat my Archaeology triple daily. Not anymore though. Seems the doc is in and told me I'm low on calcium.

Additional daily key on Treasure Hunter
One month of double daily keys on Treasure Hunter


I got all of these from my Gold Premier Club membership. I am still getting the additional daily key on Treasure Hunter now - 1 free key for everybody, 1 key for being member and 1 additional daily key for purchasing Premier Club for a total of 3 daily TH keys.

Agreed. I'm going from getting 200m thieving with dailies in a year to it taking long enough to where I actually need to train the skill. I don't like that. Bring back dailies as part of the hero pass. Now I have no reason to use vis wax daily. Thanks jagex, you're saving me gp I would have gladly spent on daily challenges that I can save instead from your runepass 2.0 reskin.

This was a stupid change.
I enjoyed waking up and then doing my 3 dailies and then playing the lottery with my keys.
Now I'm reduced to 2 keys a day and whatever I use my oddments on.
And the rewards from the Hero Pass are garbage unless you are a Premium member, and even then most of the rewards are crap even for Premier Hero Pass members.
Ugly cosmetics and random junk bags.
However I did get some nice Necromancy mats but that's about it, and 3 months from now they will be different and probably equally as lackluster.

All in all the Hero Pass is just a more casual Yak Track with a daily and weekly chall.
If you got XP rewards and/or keys from doing daily and weekly challs then that would be fine.
But you don't.
I'm guessing it's because they want people to fork out moolah for the keys instead of just taking the daily bonuses.

You mean you paid money to get these keys.

While the daily challenge keys before did not require you to pay for premier or gold club membership.
Curious.

I noticed that my chance at 6 keys were gone. I was hoping the new thing would have another way to get it and I would learn how eventually. Now I know it's not the case. RIP 6 keys. The best thing of VIP.
