this pogcast was crazy, every one of these videos make me even more excited for runescape and the story that is unfolding.

holy.... the fact sid myers pirates came up as his guilty pleasure of trying to complete... i remember that being my favourite game as a really young child, took me like 15 years to find it again/ learn what it was actually called (we just called it pirate game hahaha ). wasn't expecting that to come up here though

I love these videos so much but I have a single gripe (and i know this would add alot of editing for you). When you are talking about images you reference - good example is when you are talking about you freecaming at ungael and find the teeth. Could you show these images as you talk about them? Or is this not the spirit of these pod casts and you just want us to see the raw conversation as if we are there etc without any prompts. Love the return to Mod Jack

Ok this was so interesting and detailed, but it's also very funny that he's the lead designer on every aspect of the game (and so could answer on gameplay subjects) and the entire podcast was about L O R E Surely this means a part 2 about skilling, right?

They should make a rpg in the runescape universe that looks like new world from amazon games

I like the idea of the pests not per say being tied to anything eldrich, but more so being a hive of powerful, troublesome organisms that have taken advantage of the damage Guthix caused to begin their own infestation of the universe. Which had shaped and directed their evolution via constant exposure to the magical energies from the rifts to be more adept at it due to the pests lifecycle and existence being now tied to this sort of cosmic scale infestation. It also keeps to the trend of them being indeed pests, and not outright an invasion force working for anyone else. Also means that there would be room for studying the anatomy and organs of slain pests to cobble together some sort of grotesque biological and magical means of protection from using the rifts ourselves. Which would be handy if the world gate should ever be rendered inoperable, destroyed or damaged and the fairies have no rings to offer travel to with the player needing to get somewhere else in the cosmos. And with how I imagine the rifts the pests crawl through to be somewhat unstable and illogical in their raw, unrefined manner of working, it would be interesting to have to crawl around through pest riddled riftways using a magically cobbled pest fleshsuit for protection to hopefully stumble onto the right exit in a desperate scramble before being either overwhelmed or the suit rupturing.

Have to say, I'm normally someone that space bars every Quest and I don't really pay attention to lore. But those last couple of quests (Requiem/Ode) I actually read all the text and really enjoyed the way it was delivered.

19:19 I'm not opposed to 2D cutscenes as a concept, my main issue with the ones used in the Elder God Wars arc is how you would often use past tense third person narration to describe events that we were supposed to be witnessing in real time, which is not at all consistent with RuneScape's writing style and took me out of the experience completely, and that was especially disappointing in a quest with as much build-up as Extinction. I think the Shadow Leviathan cutscene could have been much more impactful without narration and with more focus on the characters. Show us how Jas and the Leviathan are evenly matched, or better yet that Jas has the upper hand. Show the panic as the characters realise that the Leviathan won't be enough to defeat her. They turn towards the Needle in desperation, only to see it breaking apart into fragments, its power rapidly fading. Show us the horror and hopelessness they experience as they realise the one chance we had at defeating Jas has failed. Show us a close-up of Kerapac and the sheer hatred he feels for the monster who has tormented him and his kin for millennia, and the moment that hatred allows him to defy even the will of an Elder God. I have given pretty harsh, but I believe fair, criticism of the 2D cutscenes in the past, but I hope you don't take the negative reception to mean that you're better off permanently lowering the stakes to stuff that can conceivably be depicted in 3D. I absolutely love all the lore surrounding Xau-Tak and Erebus and it would be a pity if all that ended up just being background flavour text that you can never actually follow through on due to the scale of it all. I'll take immersion-breaking cutscenes over a large chunk of the potential narrative being considered off-limits, but I feel like you really listened to feedback and made significant improvements to the way you do 2D cutscenes. I would consider the Ancient Awakening cutscene on par with most 3D cutscenes, the one downside of course being that you can't show the player character.

pausing 15 minutes in to write this, instant sub. i saw your Brighter Shores video and thought it was good but moved on until this showed up today. had no idea you were a lorehound and also did podcasts WITH JMODS. i got some stuff to catch up on

As a Lore nerd myself, I haven't even touched the new content on gates of whatever nor the new quest after the sanctum disaster, the inconsistent drop rates in HM, the shard rly being only good drop and t95 being so accessible and common in nm, the very buggy release and all that after the fsoa nerf that came after 2 years and so making their hard work perfecting the rotations and making their records null and void, many highend pvm friends quiting because of them and I can't really blame them as I have been so disopointed at recent directon of rs3. They are appealing too much to low-to mid end pvmers (reddit) at the cost of end game players.

=o

gimme revolution while walking or riot

Oef. Missed this:)

Mod Jack is awesome

Hype

Everytime you ask they explain there is no VoS, Xau-Tak, Tell them how you want the story to end, they want to try to end the story. Rs3 is in permanent brain storming

I hope the new continent isn't Zeah. Would like to see something more lore established already like Eastern Lands or Acheron. (okay fine, I just want Eastern lands :D ) A great listen like always! Thank you for this! You're also closing in on 3K subs, congratz :O

Give me quest helper or give me death

What an interview man! Listening to Mod Jack definitely makes me hopeful for the future, but to be honest all i really want is for the Mobile client to have a second wave of changes and updates, maybe some more customization options and a way to bind a game controller would be so, so cool. That way we could just use the screen for movement and the butttons for abilities and maybe even ability bar switching. Needs more thought ofc, but I'm hopeful of Mod Jack's lead :)

yes lovecraft wiki still has the elder gods in the pictures

Mod Jack is going to save run scape

Oh hell yeah.

had me checking my phone all day, glad its out man!

Been waiting for this one!

LFG

It's definitely interesting they are making something. The survival genre has seen a lot of good stuff the last few years. Hopefully this can put RuneScape back on the map!

<3

the vid i was looking for

Ohhh so this is in the digsite in Daemonheim huh?

Please be console

The new game will be shit and it will cause the rest of the members to quit

I miss Zaros. If he's the new villain, then I'm becoming a villain too. Been Purple since '09, will be to the grave. A 10 hour Zaros quest would be amazing.

Why not update rs3 for unreal engine 🤦‍♂️

great post

great video!! Looking forward to yours on the new game.

So now we are splitting the community even further great....

I just applied! I hope we get in

They can’t even fix the game they have lmfao

Thanks for posting this, also signed up. Hopefully can help shape the game.

O we know this will be a niche RS3 kinda product. Unfortunately, Jagex hasnt hired programmers with true scope of vision in A LONG TIME. This will almost certainly be a wanting product.

Ah shit here we go again

I am thinking either the Wilderness right before the God Wars would be amazing. All the fighting, chaos, construction would be amazing. Then the other is a Pre-Drakan arrival of Morytania since he corrupted the whole place. So that sinking feeling of doom and loss of everything definitely would fit the horror theme well.

im up for testing it, i've spent thousands of hours in survival games over the years

Bruh , the art is getting too detailed , if this is going to happen they better optomize it very well or they will lose new players. Most players don't have that beefy PC/phones to play this game this days

a runescape with WASD controls would definitely be a breath of fresh air.

Dont get too excited. They have a history of cancelling games like Stellar Dawn, and Transformers Universe

Love your videos bro !!

Jagex has been trying to develop other games for more than a decade. It’s always ended in either cancellation or failure-mechscape, some unreleased survival game, funorb, ace of spades. None of these came even close to success, so I’m not expecting much.

Survival game? Zzzzzzzz

I am 100% here to buy, hype, support, own, and master any content associated with the runescape multiverse
