I've found Trailblazers to be a lot of fun, it's been a fresh change to the normal OSRS grind and allowed me to appreciate an Ironman playstyle which I have not really given much time to in the past, however I wanted to weigh in my two cents in regards to the 'recent changes'.
My biggest concern with Trailblazers is the constant changing/nerfing/buffing of relics post launch. Throughout your news updates you've stated how this is something you wanted to avoid, as quoted below: but seem to have done regardless.
"We’ve tried to avoid making big changes to a League once it’s live, and the competitive spirit of the game mode is something we are conscious of maintaining" - Clue Scrolls Update First Proposal
"Whilst we try to avoid making any changes mid-League..." Double Cast Hotfix
"While we try to avoid making notable content changes to the League once it’s live..." - Last Recall Hotfix
I understand that certain small fixes need to be made and applied in order to keep the balance of the game flowing and allow for a level playing field for everyone who is taking part, however it's becoming more and more frustrating for those who have already picked paths, planned routes and already chosen specific relics, that they come online to find their relics have been changed, the two most noteworthy being the clue scroll update (which caused confusion and uncertainty for full week for those who had picked the Treasure Seeker Relic) and the Fluid Strikes Hotfix which you had changed and then changed back.
Myself and others who I have spoken with have said between ourselves that we would much rather relics were simply left alone post launch, as even the smallest detail of how a relic works can be a playing factor in the relic path a player decides to take, and to find these changes week in and week out is a very disheartening and frustrating experience.
Aside from this, a great experience, thankyou!
