Currenly 105 and as much as I want to love this skill and I do love the concept. Jagex have completely ruined this for me.
The amount of bugs and broken content is unbelieveable and I do not recall such a problem with archeology. It's almost as if rituals were untested.
The first major problem is the layout is absolutely terrible. The sheer volume of people ruins the experience. You've got 10-20 people in every world like ants running around the ritual square, this is your view point as much as theirs but people loiter and it blocks your view. There isnt any instancing and there needs to be.
One of my biggest annoyances is ritual disturbances.. This is broken to hell. Not only is it extremely frustrating that you have half the world blocking you and in the first week various trolls griefing with challenge gems, fires and massive pets (something Jagex SHOULD have forseen) but you also have disturbances where by the pathing is completely broken.
You click the wandering spirit, you go up to it and just do nothing. The same applies to corrupted glyphs you have to practically spam click.
There are a couple of soul storms which force you to stand on another Glyph and this makes the disturbance uninteractable and the size of the Miasma in the "defile" can force walk you around it trying to find an empty space and wasting time. I have also noticed in 99% of cases that if the Defile spawns the mist 3 times then the disturbance is almost impossible due to the lack of time it's up.
I never had an issue with shambling horror personally but the improvement looks decent. However since update my screen periodically white flashes at the ritual site and this was giving me a head ache, going into a lower detail mode seems to have prevented it
