Construction was based on sociality. Building a cool house.

Sociality is dead.


Waste of time to overhaul a skill that was centred around something the community no longer supports, just so a few enthusiasts can be happy that their favorite skill is fresh now.

Rather they rework a skill that is dedicated to the use and benefit of any member of the community itself, like; any other skill other then construction actually. Tired of the promotions, dead, temporary and grind content? Support the Deadscape thread.
Runescape may be dying, but unless something is done; it will not die with dignity.

Wrong. Construction is about building your own house which can provide lots of benefits.
House party is one, but NOT the only function of your house.
Can a house be used to restore your hp instead of automatically restoring in the bank?
Can a house provide extra farming allotment?
Can a house provide storage space for weapons?
Can a house servant help you collect your daily task reward?
Can a house replay your favourite quest cutscene?
Can a house help you switch spell books?
Can a house help provide basic ingredient (tomato, dough, garlic)?
Lots of possibilities. People love to create their own environment and in reality lots of games with lots of content dedicated to your home building (e.g. sims) No, there is only PvM left in jagex's mind. And the rest... all become xp grinding. Even the aquarium is just a grinding fishing game.

Players didn't attend house parties because the host had a cool house. Let's face it, one house is pretty much the same as every other house (how can it not be with Jagex's restrictive identikit approach to construction.) No, they went there to use the facilities on offer and to hang out with a group of friends.

Since then the facilities have mostly been usurped by better, more efficient methods elsewhere, and the social aspect has been replaced with clans and citadels which were purpose built for this function. All this has left construction as little more than a self-serving storage skill.

If (as you believe) construction was built to cater to a specific activity, but that activity is no longer relevant, then that is the perfect reason to change it. If something is broken, than fix it instead of ignoring the problem.

As for how to fix it, you need to identify what it is that construction can offer to enhance the game and develop that aspect of it. For me, it is the ability of players to create and shape their own environment. So to me it makes sense to develop construction and the POH into some kind of 'Emergent Gameplay Hub' , where players can create their own content and games to share with the community.

But in order to do this, Jagex has to give the players the right tools, and the freedom to use them. –= MEGA Construction Rework =–

Freeform Buildings, Surface World Plots, Community Involvement, Environments, Skills and much, much more...!

Imo, it's really annoying you can't move rooms, would love to reorganize my house.


How about a few extra agility rooms, to make the dungeon more "exciting and challenging"?

For example, instead of those traps in the corridors, you could build a log balance or a pipe from ground floor to dungeon. I haven't thought alot about it, just came up, as we're brainstorming anyways :)
