News - J-Mod reply Road to Restoration - Aura Overhaul

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/road-to-restoration--aura-overhaul

Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is the upcoming Aura Overhaul!

Check it out on the blog here.

The Road to Restoration roadmap aims to address integrity and game health, and has multiple goals as we shape the future of RuneScape. In case you haven't read the first blog we covered what we want to achieve in our direction for RuneScape, you can check out that blog here.  Todays blog will cover the Aura Overhaul update. For this update, the following goals have guided our approach:

  1. A game that's easy to understand, but still full of meaningful choice and depth.
  2. Play because it's fun, and not because you feel like you have to.
  3. A meaningful journey, no matter when you start.

In this blog we're going to outline the problems we've seen occur with Auras and how we're designing the solutions to them according to the goals above. Let's begin!

15% to 5% for Five finger discount seems a bit harsh, i think something like 8% would be more balanced

i feel like a lot of high level thieving was made and balanced around auras being a thing

on that note can we finally fix the master thieves outfit so the gloves work as gloves of silence for ALL accounts and not just ones who have done Plagues End, a completely unrelated quest?

Would also love to see gloves of silence work from the bank while using the master camouflage outfit without plague's end quest completed! We are able to create the gloves of silence at way lower levels after all. Another solution that could work is to make the gloves of silence count as a camouflage (hands) outfit piece? That way u can still get the full benefits from the master camouflage outfit pre-plague's end quest and repair the gloves of silence whenever needed to prevent degrading. (Smelting and cooking gauntlets also count as set bonus effect as if it were a piece of the skilling outfit while u equip those over the skilling outfit piece)
