I can't believe what I am seeing live on stream.

Nerf Graardor? Does it even drop anything? I've been trying to finish the log. The bones?

Longer RESPAWN times? What exactly would I be doing during a 5 minute respawn? PLaying Pac Man?

Makes no sense. Can't even imagine why this is no fun?

Really?

And now LIVE they ask why would I wait for a respawn?!? Because you don't just go do a different boss, you need to repeat it to get the timing down. To even survive. The first instance of playing a boss is always the worst, it is NOT like riding a bike. There is an adjustment.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I demand a rewatch of this stream. Infuriating.

This is data science gone wrong, this is making your own view of what the game is, and then completely discounting the actual gaming experience.

DAta over opinion.

It's nonsense.

You're really gonna ask me to do something else while I wait for the boss I am focused on to respawn?

As a company, Jagex is saying whoa there RP, we didn't actually want you to play the game, just train a lot!

It's the opposite. It's time to play, and you are going to take your ball and go home? Based on what?

The economy? L O L

Which part of it exactly? I'll just wave my magic wand and figure it out. WOW! What's the problem? Things are going well with the business, why is that not good enough, or to consider maybe reaching higher.

BOOOOOOOOOOO

This has made me re-consider everything I have heard from the company recently.

It sounded great, even during this stream I was along for the ride. I thought wow, we are about to get an amazing solution.

NO, what I heard is something I should not be hearing.

Now, I want to just remind Jagex the company: minigames ARE your responsibility. Maybe more so than the economy.

We're going to clean up 10 years worth of mistakes by restricting gameplay? Aren't we also cleaning up the wilderness threat system? The herblore update will take X years to see if it worked? Let's not really talk about death costs, which has now become a bigger problem then ever. SHOCKING.

If y'all think there is anything to this go ahead and drop a poll. There was ZERO confidence in death costs right? Let us see. Why make another mess that should be cleaned up in the future? The future is NOW, because at this rate there might not be a tomorrow.

Another thing I question is the characterization of top tier combat players only being interested in the best GP method.

Say what?

In theory, these players already have all the gear, and probably have completed all the logs.

Why would they even be interested in the best GP method rather than fun?

THAT is how the game is being balanced? For real.

They were the ones driving the death cost complaints. Now we got the skillers flipping rugs. Gimme a break. Just play the game.

LMAO, they are making respawn 5mins? i take it they realize EoC made combat too easy but they can't make it harder due to low levels/Lack of knowledge in designing proper fixes....

Well on the bright side if the game losses players, i'm sure some 'MTX whales' will stay on. But how long? hourglass is turning over and over till one day it stays to drain to zero. :P

Greed doesn't win in my 'agenda'. :)
