  • The topic of revenant caves being removed has become popular among the OSRS community in recent days. What if I told you the rev caves shouldn't even be in RuneScape in the first place? This is how one clan rigged RuneScape's entire poll system.

    Never wanted revs in the game. They’ve always been broken and they reward toxic players / gold farmers. Literally makes no sense why we still have them.

    As someone who does data/statistical collection and analyses professionally, I can confidently say that the people at Jagex in charge of writing the polls have no clue what they are doing. There have been so many instances of leading questions and confusing verbiage that skew polls one direction or another. There was also the one instance I remember when they polled to make magic icons larger in your window if you filtered certain magic spells out. This passed once, and for some reason, they re-polled it. It passed again, and for some reason they re-polled it a THIRD time. It finally failed on the third poll and they then were satisfied and ceased polling it. They desperately need someone who understands data collection methods to join the team. You should do a video based around that, I'd be happy to help analyze their poll questions with you.

      Real annoying that you can't change a vote once it has been cast as well. You might realize immediately after the fact that you misunderstood the polling question and wish you change it. Like I voted against starting dragon slayer being a requirement to wear an anti-dragon shield because I thought it had said the completion of the quest which would have been a really bad idea.

    idk why they haven't reworked Revs sooner. I see no downside to changing Revs back to how they were originally implemented into the game of randomly spawning and roaming around basically all levels of the Wilderness and also following the same rules of the levels of Wilderness on who can/can't attack or be attacked by them. Especially considering the state the caves are in now.

    Given the available info and the Jed lore I get why you would come to some of these conclusions, but the odds of the poll being rigged is 0.
    Revs were on the table as a potential PvP update for years. Most of the design was straight from the original, pre-EoC revs. There were some bits which were suspect, like the alch price of charged bracelets being +5k and skulling providing better drops, but the idea that revs as a whole was some sort of master plan forced in by Jed is just not true.
    Perhaps the worst thing Jed did to the revs cave was the soundtrack. It is just a Dave song lmao.

ROT has sat 3 years, collecting money from players and rev drops, 6-8m an hour. Enclosed and locked behind 2k and 2.2k total worlds. If one player manages cose to 2B a month which has been proven. Can you really say it was designed for anything other than this?

      @Gudi 4 роки тому

      ​@@dragonbane001 I wasn't on the OSRS team any more at the point of release, but I was still in the company and was involved in the project because I was a massive fan of revs pre-EoC. So, for why it wasn't made public that skulling provided better rates, I have no answer. I wasn't responsible for writing the news posts or dev blogs. If those details were withheld from the team, they wouldn't have been able to know about them without delving into the code. Same for the +5k alch value of bracelets. Hence them being sus.
      As for drop rates, they've added drops and modified the drop tables since I left, so I don't know what the reasoning might be. They've also made significant changes to the drop tables since Jed was fired, too. So, again, I'd contend that the gp /hr of revs is not the direct result of malicious design. If it was, the team have had multiple years to address it.
      "Can you really say it was designed for anything other than this?"
      Yeah. It was designed to be a multi PvP hotspot with activity from solo players to larger clans. I think it could have been that without ending up a gold farm, but the consistency of the drops and the gp per hour made it more of a Zulrah than a Corp. That is to say, were the drop tables focused around very rare, large drops rather than frequent mid-tier drops, it would probably be farmed a whole lot less in the manner it has been for the past few years.

    Revenants could just be straight up removed in my opinion. There's no good reason for such a good and easy to access money making method to exist in the game, not to mention it's one of the main reasons there's a need for taking steps towards countering the inflation. Also the risk isn't nearly enough to compensate for the reward.

      staked duels increases the gold value in the economy since it removes so much from the game, keeping staking in is beneficial to the economy even with all of the loan staking that is going on. Billions of gp get deleted every day.

But if Jagex wants to truly fight off RWT plaguing their game we can't pretend like the duel arena isn't an issue in regards to that. There are other ways you can sink gold in the economy that I'm sure Jagex would need to sit on first of course and figure out.

    Thank you Colonello, for helping spread the word. As well as everyone that has been pushing the support this entire past week due to what was posted on reddit regarding my two conversations with Mod Ash. Last week OSRS had its Q&A set back when the iron was hot. This week I hope Jagex will be able to answer my question on the Q&A that the majority of the player base seem to support:
    In 2017 we saw The Rev Caves were implemented in OSRS. However, with the update a lot of surface Wilderness activity died off over the course of 3 years since its addition. Now, in 2020 - we are faced with a problem that can no longer be ignored. 'Protection Clans' - There are 80+ Worlds alone in OSRS that are designated for players who are literally gold farmers from Countries like Venezuela & Egypt - Both these 'protection clans' & the Players who farm the revs skulled do nothing but RWT the money made from revs, and this has been going since the release of Revs locked inside an enclosed area within the cave. The OSRS Community would like to see these changes made to stop Racketeering caused by these protection clans and the amount of Gold Farming & RWT happening from them.
    Question: Could Revenants in the Rev cave be moved to the surface level of the wilderness, appearing in two spawns (1 multi, 1 single) that would change randomly every 15 minutes across the wilderness in following locations:
    Chaos Dwarfs: (Multi Combat - North Of Vet'ion *Old Wilderness Ghost Piper loc, 33-38 wilderness)
    Green Dragon locations: (Single Combat, all three surface locs, 15-28 wilderness)
    Corp Beast farm: (Single Combat, near Vet'ion, 26-30 wilderness)
    Rune Rocks: (Single/Multi Combat, Above Lava-Maze 45 wilderness)
    Rune Rocks: (Single, Ice plateau, Near Wildy Agility Arena, 50 Wilderness)
    Wilderness Agility course: (Single/Multi Combat, 50 Wilderness)
    Obelisk-27 Portals: (Single/Multi Combat, Between GWD Dungeon & Bandit Camp)
    50's Volcano: (Multi-Combat, Near Fountain of Glory & 50 Portals)
    West Venenatis Trees: (Multi Combat, Between Vet'ion & Venenatis trees, 30 Wilderness)
    Poison Spiders: (Multi Combat, South of Callisto, 33-42 wilderness)
    Lava Dragon Gate: (Multi Combat, Inside Lava Dragon Gate, 35-40 wilderness)
    Chaos Altar: (Multi Combat, Between 19 portals-Chaos Altar, 18-20 Wilderness)
    Lava Maze: (Single Combat, East of KBD Cage, 38-44 wilderness)
    Spawn one: 3-4 Revs mixed with higher and lower combat
    Spawn two: 5-6 Revs mixed with higher and lower combat
    Rev bracelets would still be needed to reduce damage, because they'd all agro.
    The drop rates would remain the same.

    It might even fix some existing safespots for other bosses as a rev could spawn on your safespot.

Nowadays, it's pretty obvious that there are two completely different types of players and mindsets. The first just wants to play the game, the other wants to fuck people over. The polls will always be split about big topics like this because of this. They need to completely revamp how content is injected into the game because the polling system is obsolete.

  • @ratiller1
    @ratiller1 4 роки тому +17

    its a little off to push the entire thing on Jed, I remember the culture around the dev team at the time they kept polling revenants, DMM had convinced Matt K. that pvp was the way to make oldschool "the game" and he pushed pvp updates on everything, instead of the current idea of more focused and difficult content should be more rewarding, back then every week he pushed for pvp content "risk and reward" even though a very large vocal portion of the community didn't enjoy the "risk" its funny because osrs was supposed to develop as the community wanted but there was always that core sentiment on the jmod team that pvp should be a priority and getting non-pker's to the wilderness was somehow a goal worth investing in, I'm glad things changed down the line, I'd assume HC BTW had something to do with the shift in focus, along with newer jmods who actually care more about a fun game than "omg look at the DMM twitch #'s runescape can be an e-sport!@!@" Rev caves need to go though, along with these RMT clans.

    Truthfully there is only two ways to handle revs, either remove it entirely, or the average players need to unite and fight over the caves to make it so that it isn't safe. If you ruin the protection and the PvMers are paying for nothing, then the system collapses.

    The other thing I'd like more is a player attack option that only allows you to attack players if you wouldn't skull on them. This would remove the skull tricking/accidental skulling to a degree that makes it more likely for pvmers to stay and fight if they get attacked while wildy slaying/bossing. My player attack option has been hidden for years. On that note, I find it odd that safe pvp minigames still have player attack options hidden. Seems like there should be more diversity in those options.

    Big problem solver would be to make them slayer task only, like RS3's lava strykes. Since they can only be killed on task, it will both boost PvM more, and it will make the rev cave a lot less crowded. Also it would be harder to bot at this place, since you can only kill 100-200 of them before you task is over, which makes botting it a little less worth it for most people in my opinion...

    Revenant caves was a 2011 update that allowed players to keep getting drops like Vesta's longsword (one the best spec weapons in pre-EoC), corrupt dragon weapons (best f2p pking weapons in pre-EoC) and brawling gloves (exp boosters) after pking in wilderness was allowed again and revenants were no longer needed to make wilderness dangerous.
    .
    Revenants were never a big money maker in pre-EoC because they didn't drop alchables and noted items the way they do in osrs. For example, the only drop in addition to the super rare equipment/relics/gloves for revenant imps was 1-187 coins. You either got a 70M spec weapon or you got nothing. You didn't need protection from clans because a clan could scout 50 worlds without finding one person wanting kill revenants in pre-EoC rev caves, and if somebody got a big drop they would immediately get out.

    Removing the rev cave is a no-go for me. Rev cave is just plain nostalgic. Now a wilderness questline to give you an additional spot to go to revs in a seperate cave where it’s single combat.... now theres an idea

      How is rev caves nostalgic if they where never in a cave to beging with but instead spread across wilderness? That's like saying clan wars as it is now is nostalgic when it's the complete opposite because it's not in the wilderness nor does it have the original feeling clan wars once had.

    I preferred when revenants roamed the wilderness, it gave me a surprise when i saw a big old dragon ghost pop up.

    Better idea killing anything in the wilderness has a 10% chance of spawning a Rev higher lvl monsters spawn higher level revs

    Make revs single combat and lower gp per hour back to the polled rate. Fed up of seeing 4+ players swamping someone in every UA-cam video on the subject
