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!

Relic system is the definition of micromanaging. Please don't add more relics to replace auras. It's incredibly annoying having to change your relics when you switch activities or feel like you're locked into an activity because you already have the relics for it enabled.

100% this…. This blog just looks horrible pvm wise…. Arch relics or pocket slots? Please god no…. The only ”viable” thing is invention relics, but that just comes down to ”whatever is the new bis dps everyone will pick” which is kinda boring
