theres just so much crap on this developer blog that theres just to much to process in my mind what to even say.. this is out of hand this is to much.

Seriously if you have nothing to add to this thread, simply don't post.

This thread is a way for Jagex to tackle all or most minigame issues, if they polled each minigame changes separately we'd be discussing this for months.

Good to see that CW is being worked on, but recoloured whips? Lol.

I hope there will be more rewards added that make people actually come back. Rewards like a bonecrusher, pounch etc are a one time only thing.

I've been playing Runescape since February 2006 and i've posted less than 5 replies on forums EVER but I guess i'll contribute for 2007 So:

With the mini games the only way to actually revive them (Minus NMZ as it is fairly active) would be to put some of them as ranked games, like on the main game where people are ranked for Castle Wars and Barbarian Assault because everyone wants to be #1 at something. (Along with ranked pking, like rogue pvp during Bounty Hunter days 2008-2010 or so, with no points if you kill the same person twice). Adding new items would only temporarily make the mini games active, because once people get what they want, chances are people won't be coming back just for fun unless they lose that item. BUT

Clue Scroll
rewards shouldn't be added, it'd just make everyone rich and devalue certain items like God pages.
Rune Pouch
would be sort of unfair against lets say someone carrying Super strength, Attack, and Defense. Inventory space is crucial when pking.

Apart from that every other item should be added and personally the prayers should each be the same points as a black mask or a tad more touching 2m points each.

My last idea would be to add some sort of completion cape on 2007 because I noticed when it was added on RS3 it set goals for high leveled players to play Castle Wars and other mini games making it more active because the goals were hard, so they'd stick for a while at Castle Wars and various other mini games.

Oh and Barrows should be left alone, forgetting spades is annoying, but people can always bank again. Shouldn't make it any easier tbh. I won't talk about the other things mentioned for updating because I have little knowledge to it, so i'll see what those with knowledge decide on it.

Just get more people involved! make it easier to access the minigames. add something similar to the lever that tellys people to the wildy, but use it for minigames. and give people the choice between which minigame to go to. It sounds a bit crude but you could figure out a better way to do it. make them easily accessible. (but not like in rs3 with the gamers grotto, because that was a failure)

Also please get this done in RS3 too.. I miss minigames =/

Speaking of which, anyone interested in an RS3 minigame clan? im trying to set one up in game but I need founders.. please add me and help :P

I freakin' love this developer blog, here is some feedback.

MATCHMAKING
-great idea, sounds like it will work wonders for minigames like Shades of Morton.

INCENTIVES
-A minigame reward shop that offers awesome rewards for high costs in multiple minigame currencies sounds ok, and marks of grace should not be required for any of the rewards because rooftop agility is not a minigame. Minigames should still get some good rewards without having to do other minigames, Example: Barb Assault & Pest Control have great rewards, Castle Wars has garbage rewards.
-About the PvP worlds dropping upgraded items, I do not like that idea.

CASTLE WARS
-Dont care about a Zammy/Sara flag and dont care about a skirt.
-The ranged and mage gear sounds great though.
-About being able to buy bandages and use them outside of Cwars hell no to that.
-The killstreak reward will make the levels 120+ to hard to defeat.
-Siege weapons, eh sounds fun.
-Free runes, yes please!
-10% of kills into tickets, yes please!, each flag capture=1 bonus ticket, yes please! but make this only possible on themed Castle Wars worlds to prevent farming.
-
suggestion:
Remove hoods, so people can make use of full barrows equipment and void!

BLAST FURNACE
-Both ideas sound good.

BARB ASSAULT
-Use egg launcher in combat, sure would be good.
-Change word to white when it changes, would be good.
-Fighter legs, yes please!
-
suggestion:
When you collect runes or arrows from the machine, give us a huge quantity so we don't need to keep spaming the machine to get enough runes and arrows to finish the round if we choose to mage or range.
-
suggestion:
Let pro defenders use the multikill trick to kill multiple runners at once.

SHADES OF MORTON
-removing the defence requirement for splitbark, sounds interesting not too sure on this though.

TROUBLE BREWING
-Yes to both ideas.

THINGS THAT AREN'T MINIGAMES
-Increase arma alch value, yes please.
-Dark mage on contact spell, would be good.
-Nieve on contact spell, would be good.
-Shops sell more than 10 at a time yes please, especially when trying to buy bone bolts and you need 5000 it is annoying to buy 10 at a time.
-Health, prayer and run next to the minimap, YES PLEASE!!! also include the XP drop
-Smithing option to make-X option, sure
-Zamorakian spear become 1 handed, YES! and let us poison it.
-Fruit tree patch in Lletya, sure.
-Spades near the barrows, yes please.

All of the questions to make CW tickets significantly easier to get would really devalue the old rewards and tickets, especially for those who have spent hours getting the higher level armors.

Should you receive one ticket for each enemy flag that you deliver to your castle's standard stand?

Two people in any empty world could just farm this for hours and get 15+ tickets each game. The tickets should be given out to everyone on a team based on which team won, not who was the highest level\got to the other teams banner first.

Should 10% of your kills be translated into tickets at the end of each game?

Higher levels would just run around with barrage and kill people\lower levels for tickets. It completely changes the point of the game which is to score points for your team to win, not just run around killing people.

Castle Wars is by far my favorite minigame, as it is for many people, and I do want to see it active again but completely devaluing the game\rewards with these updates won't make it active again long term.

Even Rs3 hasn't gone to this extent to make tickets that easy and they've done a complete CW overhaul.

Yes! finally something about mini-games, have been waiting for this! i like pretty much all of the ideas! especially about Castle Wars even though i think there should be some even better rewards apart from cosmetic things.
