I'm not even a PvMer and I love this update. Seriously, good job.

challenge gems would be a nice addition to the shop I think
It's been the only update in a long time though lol
The place already has a lot, i dont think it needs more to be added to it.
I would be a fan of the boss pet statue idea that i recall them mentioning though.
yes the achievement garden, althou I remember they wanted to do more with that like instead of just being grass with the plinths, it would be thematic to the boss pets displayed for example the section with the gwd1 would have a small gwd1 asthetic around it. I also remember they wanted the plinths to be trimmed if the collection log was completed
I'd personally love a quick chat for how many Mark's of war one has. I'm surprised this wasn't part of the update.
Ah yes, good idea! I'll add an option to quick chat for marks of war (similar to reaper points).
Awesome! Thank you!
As someone who just started playing rs3... does this take away from an open world experience? I think of how wow added garrisons and ques so no one ever left SW/their garrison.
Not anymore than the Max guild. Now people just don't have to max to begin "efficient bossing". It's like fast travel points in openworld games, you can use them or travel "by foot" but you won't be seeing anything interesting really.
At least the "garrison" here is actually shared, so everyone who is bossing shows up in the same hub, rather than hidden away in their own little sharded zone.
Could we have a dummy right next to an adren pillar for easier use of dragon battle axe spec? Right now we have to click the dummies next to that weird statue and use it. I find it annoying.
Does this boss portal functionality stay after the event is over?
Would like if the 1000 limit on marks was upped or removed, it just punishes for being alright at pvm.
You guys have all been duped. This took a few days for a few people to build. This will be the only content for the first quarter of 2020.
What’s so “captivating” about it? It’s 4 teleports that take you slightly closer to the boss than you’d get with conventional methods of reaching the boss.
Oh but you can get a bonfire boost right there! So can you...literally anywhere.
Oh but you can restore your prayer AND summoning points with one click! There are other places to do that before WR
The only thing they actually added with this hub is the adrenaline crystal which just makes the game more “private-server-y” than before. Even that is a marginal increase in dps for the sweats who’d min-max a boss.
Am I alone in thinking this update was boring as hell and added barely anything to the game?
For me, even though I already have every combat aura, it was really nice to see them add combat aura's to an in game shop. And the convenience for a non maxed player is great! I can understand why some people are underwhelmed, but it felt like a genuinely great step in the right direction.
Also, being awarded a currency for every boss kill is a nice touch, makes going dry feel less crappy :)
it offers a lot more for those, that haven't been maxed for eternity. boss portals are a huge difference in how effectively you can do regular Nex for example, where banking after a kill is pretty much the meta.
also whats more private-server-y about those crystals? you can literally use any targetable npc or even a dummy to do exactly the same, except now you spend like what, 10 seconds less doing so?
Yeah I don’t really see what’s so incredible about it, there’s a couple of nice small QoL things and that seems like about it.
Yes. You are alone. Probably used to it to
I literally just use it for banking, it is just so broken...
What the hell do you mean "broken" if you only use it for banking. You were able to teleport to a bank with one click with memory strands right from account creation, and if you mean "buggy" that is really not the case.
one click tp right next to bank. Don't have to walk or keep any extra window open either...
And memory strands did that with no requirements with a competitive distance. This is nothing new.
that bank is not as close and forces you to rotate camera and requires currency pouch to be open and requires you to have strands favorited and does not work in combat
It'd be cool if the teleport wasn't a permanent unlock but more like an upkeep of boss kills to keep it enabled
How is it broken? Genuinely curious why you think it's broken. There are other Banks nearly or as near to teleport locations. It certainly is convenient, not needing any runes or having a cooldown though :)
Where are there other Banks that are keybindable insta-tele, require no items, and have no quest requirements?
Fair point! I still don't know that it's "overpowered" or whatever. I guess I just don't understand why it would be an issue. Shouldn't quality of life be something that is praised and appreciated? It's nice to hear everyone's opinions though! :)
It's nice to get QOL updates, but at the end of the day it's a Role Playing Game. People should be rewarded for the work they put into skilling, questing, and doing achievement tasks.
If the bank was at the bottom of the stairs, I would feel better about the balancing.
because it is 1 click quick tp right next to the chest with almost no requirements. No other TP puts you so close to a bank.
It makes me actually want to do my reaper assignments
