The hatchet and rebalancing of maple > elder is the real prize. Wood box is a bonus. But from there it went downhill.
Even on their release video they made a point to show they were trolling us with wood spirits. But everything is OKAY because they let us put them in the box. Hmmmmm.
New character is boring, they just needed to fill a slot. There is nothing inside the cabin to interact with. Why does the screen need to black out when I go through the gate?
I'm also not a fan of their map making. They seem to design it for the streamers who are zoomed from outer space, but I actually play the game up close. In standard Runescape view.
Everything looks cool from a distance, but the action takes place on ground level. Down there it is all just Runescape. They show little regard for the paths our character takes OR the ability to see what we are doing. It's always a chore to find a reasonable camera angle.
The armored phantom area from the previous update is a great example. The most important feature in there was the lava. But I don't really see that. I see a tiny cave with bad pathing, evil mechanics, and walls that block the view.
Back at the grove, an extremely large oak tree was scientifically placed so that I would mis-click it instead of the elder tree. Also, to just block the view, because that is something they like to do?
