If you think 1+ year is not enough of a grace period, wait until you hear about the people failing to do the Halloween quest the past 4 weeks, and complain they can't do step x today.

That stuff sounds like a player decision issue of legitimately waiting beyond the final day and not getting it done any time sooner.
Same will happen with any grace periods - there will be that person who tries to do stuff at the last minute for a bizarre reason.

I mean, life happens. Somehow DXP always tends to land during my busiest seasons, for instance. For instance, I’m moving and my wife is having surgery during this coming DXP. I likely won’t have my computer unpacked at all during it. I’ll be lucky if I have time to log in on my phone and claim the daily “burn my timer for tokens” thing from Vic. It doesn’t mean I’m waiting until the last minute for things. It just means I can’t be physically glued to my computer for however long the DXP timer lasts, because I have other things that require my attention.

FOMO is a blight on gaming in general, and arbitrary timers for things like this should be banned outright. Ditch DXP and increase average skill xp gain to match what would have been received in DXP. Eliminate the arbitrary “we’re going to remove these items permanently” timer on the MTX items, and just stop selling them. They’ll eventually get used as intended, and then they’ll be gone. They are consumable, after all. The only real timer I’m okay with is the seasonal events, but even those should have stipulations like old event gear being made fully available in the same way as the current gear. Missed last year’s Christmas event? No problem, you can earn the gear this year too. Reduce FOMO as much as possible, because it does nothing but harm the casual players who can’t no-life the game constantly.

Well. Dxp is basically a seasonal already so why is that timer so much worse?

#

Theres no way in hell they should just make everything basically permanently 2x xp

#

Or anything somewhat close to your suggestion of removing dxp and increasing all xp acros the board

#

I'd want them to just go a year without touching xp rates or anything at all. Make people see how the xp rates are without all the mtx or dxp nonsense and then make plans

there's definitely going to be some disconnect as MTX and integrity shit (free keys, events) have caused a bunch of players to progress waaaaaaaaaaay past where they really 'ought' to be, meaning that they've reached a much slower stage of progression than really makes sense for their play habits

#

I just hope that disconnect doesn't result in blanket over-adjustment rather than highlighting specific pain points (we've discussed agility at length here) and addressing those

#

It's 100% going to be that over-adjustment

Heres me hoping for skilling powercreep. (Im alting finally)

#

I meme but I do want some kind of qol gameplay loop adjustment/rework

I am late getting into the discussions about the treasure hunter changes. But how is it fair for those of us that have paid our money for the keys to get the skilling outfits, proteans, portables, etc. to have it taken away. It would be different if it was free to us.

#

Since you mention skilling outfits as being taken away i assume you've not read anything past the first post that listed items removed from sale

#

I would recommend reading all the news posts after that including the FAQ on items that will be deleted from the game fully and the pinned messages in this channel for some clarifications

#

You've been given about 14months to use up any proteans and other items that will be removed from the game which is more then fair

#

And should be more then enough time to use all that stuff

#

okay thank you i didnt see that on the stuff i read last night

I thought reddit just had some dev responses to design direction behind these things

#

A more detailed news post is being posted in 2 days once the vote closes

Is there a new vote now that the lists have come out or a way for people to remove their vote should they disagree with it now?

twilit pendant
#

there is not, which items on the lists specifically concerns you?

<@&1077602342272237619> @vale lodge Lots of unanswered questions here - Is this chat monitored by staff? Or the appropriate place to ask such questions?

I'd probably wait until the 12th nov newspost on the topic
