I would never and will never follow the lore

Well, I guess many of the current Jagex staffs working on new quests may not actually follow all the Gielinor lore since the original quests and lore crews have pretty much left.

It is hard for the newer staff members to read through 18 years of Gielinor stories so I don't think anybody should expect future quests have a lot of lore factored in them. :)

Tbh pieces of hate was a bottle quest. Utterly disappointing and a huge WASTE of spending time on a quest and a stupid minigame like activity on the beach, and this isn't sarcasm. Vampire series was good, and I believe they had a proper director of the quest as well. For example, I think Jagex should stick to the path of making good final endings to old school quests like solving the corruption of the Gnomes in which I believe it was petitioned in the survey on what the Plkayers wanted for 2018. Jagex has been focusing too much on dialogue for the past 20 like quests that really destroyed all the fun. Abusing the "std::cout" ffs, and back to the Gnomes, I really hope they nerf a lot of the dialogue and finish the series off with mauling Glouphrie to "Ashes" considering how overpowered that character is. Which riles up my suspicions of the corruption going on in that realm of the old school 5th age series. Ffs, most of the area is like the wilderness.


I haven't completed "Pieces of Hate" yet as I'm trying to save it so I can't comment on whether it was a "bottle" quest or not, however, it was supposed to be the finalé to the Pirate questline so I'm not sure how you can class it as a "bottle" quest... I've completed all the other quests and I'm trying to keep myself from doing it just so I actually have a few quests to do once Jagex finally releases more.

However, I have heard that many people enjoyed Pieces of Hate. Quite clearly you didn't like it. The Gnome series definitely should be finished and I'm sure it will be. I just don't want it to be rushed. Yes, it was petitioned, I replied to something you said with some statistics from that survey and it turns out that 37% of players who voted, wanted the Gnome Finalé which is a fairly high percentage. Most things on the survey didn't get over a 50% vote. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

That's fair enough, but people interested in the lore and story HAVE completed all the current quests or near enough all of them. There are more players who follow the RS lore than you think. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

But yet majority of the player base DONT want quests so for me and amongs many other we are cool that there comes and quest now and then.
Runescape would be dry and boring if there was to release 100 quests a year.
People can have their say and they could on the survey aswell, but i think more people care about gameplay and not to some boring easy quest you can do within 10 minutes just to unlock something, thats pretty boring.

RuneScape would be dry and boring if the only thing to do was to level up skills, to be honest. I never said we need 100 quests a year. We need everything in moderation. 6 quests with 4 underdeveloped quests last year is disappointing for any quester to receive in a year.

Just because you don't like quests doesn't mean the majority don't like or want them. I can bring up a post that I created earlier on in this thread. Bear in mind that a lot of things on the RS Survey did NOT get over 50% vote.

"Quests still hold a significant place in RuneScape. Have you seen the results of the RS 2018 Survey?

Desert Treasure 2 - 14778 votes (43% of players who voted, check results for a comparison)
Gnome Finale - 12518 votes (37%)
Monkey Madness 2 - 13127 (38%)
New 'Slayer' Quest, Dragonkin etc - 16592 (49%)
Underground Pass 2 - 12513 (37%)
A Wise Old Man Quest - 15852 (46%)
Quest Point Unlock Shop - 19562 (57%)

The statistics for opinions on future quests are right here. Hence why I believe that creating this thread isn't "unfair" to Jagex or unrealistic expectations." Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

I love the quests and the ore that move Runescape forward and since i am a ironman it moves my skills forward too so id say we need more quests :P

Thanks for your support. Nice to hear an opinion from an Ironman who sees quests as a vital part of their gameplay. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

I would never and will never follow the lore

As long as it makes some kinda sense to the stories, I have no problems with that. I'm not going to nitpick every little detail because I'm not as pedantic as that. I would just like to see more quests which introduce more new stories and add a finish to the older questlines that have been outstanding for years. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

I enjoyed the start and end of pieces of hate, not so much the middle part got really boring.

At least they'll be wrapping up the other questlines so they can start anew instead of having to catch up on years old dialogue and writing and just do whatever.

It's a little worrying when they have to play catch up, cause they forgot to bring up a certain barrows brother in 2 of the newer quests heavily involving them, both of which was to be this giant story telling thing. Recall the reason they forgot him was because they forgot he existed, thats uh not good.

Kinda sucks if they go for the whole quality over quantity and the quality comes off as rushed and bleh. Felt the barrows bro quest was like that, went way too shallow then bam quest over. Big let down for a story telling quest and if they spent a lot of time on to come up with that only. But think they did good with children of mah so not too worried about the future making quality.

I'd hope questlines wrapping up means they have to do less research on old stuff and can just do whatever, hope that makes quest making go somewhat faster.

Fair enough, nice to know your view on Pieces of Hate.

I found it scary that they managed to forget about
Akrisae
, I must be frank. It could have just been an honest mistake which anybody could make but still, worrying .

Hoping for the quality to be restored and once they have "cleaned-up" the older stories, we can finally start getting more quests every year with new exciting stories. Not rushed stories like the Desert quests we received last year. Be nice to link back occasionally to the older questlines too during these new storylines but it's not 100% necessary.

Support.

If they only focused on making quests more dynamic, resettable and such, then they can get the most out of it. I love questing, I have my own quest cape. I plan to get the master quest cape at some point.

Unfortunately in order to play through some quests again or relive different decisions, I play every now and then on my alt. It's frustrating sometimes when you have to grind all over again, but somewhat fun. But yes, I quit for some time during 2016 until this year.

I feel like it has gone downhill a bit in terms of lore content. I still think Ritual of the Mahjarrat is one of the BEST quests that have ever been released.
