To take things with a grain of salt, we know part of the reason why for the lack of quests, as some devs were working on XXL projects:
- 3rd or 4th Quarter 2017 to Jan 2019 Mining/Smithing rework
- Mid 2018 to present for Archaelogy
- Some point in 2019 … Farming/Herblore to 120

Thanks for this information Deltaslug. Nice to hear from you again. So, we are assuming that now these have been released, the focus may be put back onto the storyline (especially quests, not fillers) again?

Or am I being too optimistic with that request? Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

Father and Son is not a quest. It is a hidden update to Desperate Measure.

I never said it was a quest. It has the title 'miniquest' but realistically, I don't think that talking to two people is really enough even for that title. I'm sure you will now come back with "For some players, that is enough for a miniquest." but honestly, the amount of time that miniquest took to do is a joke.

If 'Father and Son' should be considered a miniquest, then why aren't there more miniquests that literally require you to talk to 2 people and read about 3 minutes of dialogue? To break down what I am saying further, the quality of the miniquest is not enough (in my opinion) to be considered a miniquest, it should just be a piece of hidden dialogue.

Can you please show where Jagex mentioned Father and Son as a MINIQUEST?

Sort your quest display into 'Release Date' and then look under 2019, it's there, right at the bottom underneath 'Helping Laniakea (miniquest)'.

It says 'Father and Son (miniquest)'.

So now we've solved that issue, my point still stands that it is not long enough or of enough quality even for a miniquest. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

Further to this topic, this means that only 3 main quests and 1 miniquest were released in 2019 (As Father and Son shouldn't really count as a miniquest anyway because it was literally a 3-minute read). This shows a real tragic lack of quest content in 2019. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

If I am not mistaken, you are referring to some fan edited wiki. But it is not the words of Jagex. AFAIK, Jagex never even mentioned Father and Son in any of their reveals/promotions/BTS or anywhere else.

Dilbert, it is literally in-game. Are you suggesting that Jagex's NXT RuneScape client isn't owned by them?? Log-in and follow the instructions in my earlier post, you will see 'Father and Son (miniquest)' right there under 2019.

I do wonder how much you know about RuneScape quests and the game itself sometimes because your knowledge can be lacking. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

Might I add that your persistence in proving people wrong is never lacking and hasn't been since I made this thread and on lots of other peoples' threads too. If you had done what I asked, you would have seen that you were wrong (and that Father and Son was considered a miniquest), but I know that you won't admit that, you're too proud.

@Hunteresque

Comments from other non-Jmod players are still not Jagex's words.

Regardless, Wiki also showd other "miniquests" as they are called so by other players like Sheep Shearer too. They are dated way back from years ago and take only minutes to do too. So, why is "Father and Son" so special all of a sudden????

IT IS IN RUNESCAPE ITSELF! How many times Dilbert? Please READ posts; Don't look at the first word and then start typing your reply.

'Father and Son' is so 'special' (as you put it) because amongst 'Sheep Shearer' was a number of other quests and that was back in 2001. This is irrelevant however.

I am using the lack of content within 'Father and Son' to show that it shouldn't even be classed as a miniquest which in turn, shows only 3 quests and 1 miniquest were released in the whole of 2019 which relates to the subject on which this forum thread is about "Lack of New Quests".
