I just copied most of what I wrote on the other forum (http://services.runescape.***/m=forum/c=5YjjjP5MKc0/forums***?380,381,251,65727838,goto,25) page 25 :P

could make area smaller or add more buildings to fill the void, small quests around each area that get the player moving and more interactive with the buildings and areas.(quests could contribute to the house). Great Kourend has just had their king die who had united them all, why not have a big quest (after you've done atleast most of the smaller quests around the place), that is based on some new prince rising from this supposedly kingdom that will soon fall apart from war if their is no leader too unite them(maybe their is a prince/princess that was hidden away).

The houses instead of making it a loss when you switch to a different house, that it stays where it is, relating back to the quests^^ where you can do quests that help in building relations between the houses, being less individual as this place use to be all united :P

other ideas people already have is more improvement in the spell book, changing the tier armour to fit more with the cmb lvls with the defence lvl requried increases each tier :)
and many other ideas that i cant fit but you get the point.

These are suggestions and not negative feedback thrown back at the people who made this content :) ) hope many others can do the same.

ps. could you put at table that is next to the rune essence mine :P and that it had chisels on it and bronze picks if someone forgets, was kind of annoying finding out needed chisel when i got there but thats just one thing that needs to be added :) thank you.vv

Getting and keeping 100% favour with all the houses should have been set up as a one time thing and would have had a quest type feel to it instead of the current mingame feel to it.

Also if it was a one time thing there wouldn't be a need for the crazy 5 bar thing that blocks our view even when you change the xp counter setting and it jumps to the side it still pretty annoying.

I suffered getting 100% in Arceuus house last night so i can have a go at making bloods a bit later on it was a tedious grind that I don't intend to do again therefore I will never try any of the other houses.

I suggest changing it to a one time thing and getting rid of the 5 bar thing.

One of reasons I stopped playing eoc was because of all the junky stuff on the screen please don't take osrs this way.

Can we make it so we are able to log out in the tithe minigame? I play runescape over other games because of its convenience but this forces you to play for 30 mins at a time without logging out or else you are practically wasting your time. I seem to be one of the only people actually excited for Zeah and can see much more of the whole picture because this isn't the only update.

I really like the whole idea of Great Kourend, however, it does look very sparse in a lot of places, which makes it incredibly easy to get lost, due to the lack of landmarks.
I feel adding a few more paths (not major roads, just slightly visible pathways) would greatly increase the aesthetic values of Great Kourend.
Another thing I think definitely needs adjusting is the purpose of some of the buildings, pretty much 80% of the buildings have no purpose, and it's greatly frustrating. e.g in arceuus, there is a general store that sells runes, you could easily split them up and make a rune shop and a general store that doesn't sell runes, but maybe another new minor item, or some rare herblore secondaries which you would need 100% favour in the house for, doing this would increase the number of land marks, fill the cities slightly more and would also be beneficial.

I really really want more paths though :p

The Juniper tree was a joke. Fishing got a nice update with anglerfish but woodcutting and other skills were left out. Why not make a new tree that is just under magic trees like anglerfish is to mantas etc. The new tree logs could be an addition to new arrows for a new type of bow etc.

Zeah was a disappointment to many but we appreciate your hard work on it and hope you add and change somethings.

After all the hype, wondering, and waiting, this update is a huge disgrace to the OS community in my opinion. It's cookie cutter quality and horrible rewards for the time put in ( Especially Tier 5 armor that is as good as mithril ) make it unappealing and insulting...I mean, cmon. We need a huge fix to this current portion of Zeah and need major planning for the rest of the future updates before they get released please. As of now, I will not even be stepping foot on Zeah.

Greetings.

I really enjoy Zeah and what it has to offer. However the great size versus over-use of repeated graphics assets is bothering me. The size is not as grand as what is proclaimed. For instance the Shay*ien houses, with the red roofs, look totally amazing. Yet these houses look cloned and plenty due to the sheer size of them in the area the dev team had to copy/paste them over and over. The amount of buildings is not needed to be this high and could be reduced. As well as the entire continent size in order to provide a more unique experience.

This version of RuneTek 2/3 definitely has limitations. Shouldn't JaGeX acknowledge these limitations instead of trying to forced a Skyrim-like exploration experience? Given these limitations we are shoved into an environment more like Elder Scrolls Arena. I bring up Arena because of the horrible reputation for being just too big with repeated graphics assets and not very interesting to explore. It may be tolerable by fanboys but as quality, long-lasting content... no.

Seriously consider the scope of Zeah and what you can do to uniquely add size as opposed to repeating, in a seemingly arbitrary way, the same assets to seem huge. There are plenty of dead towns, mini-games and areas in the game that could use a slight tweak and have plenty of new content injected into them.

JaGeX, if you are going to spend dev time please connect with people on forums more. Twitter, youtube, facebook, twitch and all this social media (in general) is lacking the necessary back-and-forth and in-depth discussion necessary to reach the finer talking points of Zeah. 140 character limits and insanely fast-paced chats you can't read are not productive environments for growth.

Please... please get out of the modern social media movement JaGeX and get back on forums. For the sake of OSRS.

PS: Posting a one-shot suggestion/news thread and not participating doesn't count.
