Jagex has responded

A video covering the first response from the Runescape Team & Jagex on Hero Pass. I'm hoping they take feedback as seriously as they did with the Necromancy release but we will have to wait and see.

I've seen enough games getting monetized to know that this is intentional. Always overstep at first so you can take three steps forward and then you only have to take one step back.

Take three step forward take two steps back you still took that step forward.

That's how we got to where we are.

I'm just not sure I can do it anymore. I've been playing for 20 years with over 18, 000 hours played and I feel like I might be done soon. It's just so complicated. They just keep adding things that are more and more complicated. The hero pass menu is overwhelming and has so much going on with different points, this and that, and all sorts of different options. It used to be so simple. You could log in, click a monster, and attack it and kill it. Now there's thousands of different ways to even perform the simplest of tasks, and while customization to a certain extent is good, at this level, it isn't. I'm really bummed out.

God damn I miss when Jagex had no MTX and sales for everything. Andrew, Paul, and Ian are probably so damn upset as to what this game has devolved to.

that poll should ask the question: "did you abuse the hell out of the daily challenges and now want to let everyone suffer that comes after you?"

[Mapijs]

Would not be surprised if this post was drafted ahead of the update because they knew there would be backlash. We all know the people who pull the strings won't let jagex remove the dumb pass, we all know that players will forget about this in 3 weeks. Jagex will play the waiting game and they will win, this is how these kind of monetizations are always pushed down the throats of players of many games.

[neverforgetthesorrow]

As a premiere player..im even mad about how this has gone. The only way to make it up to the community is to remove it. Nothing was wrong with the old system. If they want more people to engage make the core systems better not microtransaction us into doing it.

[dragonprism]

Please keep showing these main feature videos. It helps put pressure on Jagex by providing the community an easy break-down that everyone can understand.

They lost me on this one. I already felt like I was missing out on content with for not being a premium member, but a PAID battle pass for a subscription based game? I've always been a casual player but this feels like punishment for being casual.

I've played ironman since release. I have no idea why it's suddenly an issue for the daily challenge xp, we could do it since day one, got the buffed version with the items such as d&d tokens but now they want to say it's against ironman integrity when that ship sailed almost 9 years ago....

Being an ironman doesn't mean I want to train subjectively bad skills that I could passively train using the daily challenges. I don't want xp through limited events but I think the daily challenge xp was perfectly fine.

The goal of making players play for 15 minutes every day is that it's habit-forming and makes you addicted faster, and makes it harder to quit.

[holo_val]

The biggest issues of P2W buffs, premium track, and grind length balanced to keep 70% from finishing the pass are completely ignored.

[apower]

Thank you for continuing to speak up for all of us much appreciated

[kamiza]

Thanks for keeping the discussions and information flowing

[GonthorianDX]

This is what happens when the company values it's investors over its customers...

[captain]

My problem with the daily challenges is that it's all skills I'm already 200m in instead of letting me select which skills I want to train.

[xForseen]

Correction. They are not reducing the time it takes to complete the dailies. They are just shifting all the exp to the first 2 missions.
If you want all the hero points you still need to complete all the missions which take just as long.

[cheekyjebus]

Daily challenge XP has been part of ironman mode since release. If they're going to decide whether or not to add the xp back they should poll the actual ironman players rather than just a small niche server group, I know plenty of players who are busy during the week who are bummed out about the minor gains they got during their busy days being deleted; just because many of us are done with XP (myself included) doesn't mean we should impose our will of "I don't' care" on the rest of the people still playing.

[SidMace]

As an ironman, daily challenges were the only reason i logged in daily. Now i feel like I'm not missing out on anything, and might login once or twice weekly to kill some Rasial.

[nondeth]

I appreciate you revisiting and following up, and also acknowledging some of the steps in the right directions.
I think with the 'daily' missions they should 'stack up' for like 3 days or something and you can complete them in succession. Cause their main point before is 'no fomo for dailies' but then proceed to have dailies still.

[cheshires_top_cat]

They do not care about the treasure hunter keys. They want more people to pay money for them. Jagex has always been focused on squeezing us for our hard earned RL Gp!
