Could Legacy Mode be voted out of implementation?

Either way it ultimately sounds like it's going to be in Beta for-freaking-ever. Took 6+ months to develop a beta and now it's going to be in Beta forever because people are going to no vote it out of fear it will impact EoC or to just be an asshole.

I could totally see the beta lasting 6+ months.

 

if it gets too much hate then yes

 

I don't understand why people wouldn't want legacy mode to be implemented. It's optional to use and if you don't want to use it, you don't have to and it won't affect you at all. I don't foresee it not being implemented.

 

I've played rs continually for the last few years, while I don't really care for either eoc or legacy it's amazing how long change takes. Eoc came out November 2012 and an alternative, equal to the one previously available, will come around September 2014, I can't help feeling that it will be slightly ineffectual since a great deal of the people that stopped playing due to EOC have overcome their rs withdrawal symptoms already and are unlikely to have a desire to return.

 

There are people who like only EoC and wish Jagex would put all their resources into improving current content, fixing bugs and adding new content instead of spending 6 months+ on a project to bring back how Runescape used to be.

To be honest, I see where these people are coming from. I mean there are still lots of bugs that they aren't willing to fix, A few areas and monster templates to be updated and bosses, quests, minigames and other content to be added yet they've put 6 months of resources into a beta, not 6 months of work into a refined and finished product.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care whether Legacy comes out anymore. I voted yes to it because I would like a bit of nostalgia of 2010-2011.

 

I probably didn't word that as well as I could have, I meant that zerkers and similar accounts are always going to be opposed to pures getting even a little more power.

 

I don't believe that there is much possibility that this won't come to fruition. Based on the amount of time and money they've invested into it, they will push it through.

 

When they originally got rid of pre-EoC (not exactly sure what to call it, RS2?) I was a bit skeptical like many others, however EoC actually turned out alright. I still continued to play a lot. When Rs3 was implemented though, it was just too much change for me. As much as I like customization, the interfaces are a bit confusing for me.
I don't think they will scrap Legacy though. I think they have invested too much in it already for them just to decide not to go ahead with it. It's big changes like those that get themselves noticed.
I'm not quite sure how it will turn out, I don't think it'll be as good as everyone is hoping for (much like 07 in my opinion), but I'll definitely give it a go.

EDIT: Turns out I said pretty much what Darkest Dream said.

 

Your right about how it probably won't be as good as everyone hopes it will be, but if we've learnt anything about jagex it's that you need to set the bar incredibly high, because they always finish incredibly far below it.

 

I'll choose No on the poll if they won't return the game as to how it was in 2011, if they don't have anything except old combat.. I will vote no and hope it won't make it in, as I could just play that pointless EOC crap.

 

Well the one main perk I saw towards Legacy mode was going back to the Pre-Rs 3 interface. I cannot stand the convoluted RS 3 interface. It is so clunky and annoying to navigate, no matter how many times I seem to customize it.

So, skilling with a fixed window in the old interface would be just as important to me as the near Pre-EoC combat.

I actually don't hate EoC as much with the Revolution mode.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to go back to the days of old armors, old combat, old interface etc. Not out of nostalgia, just that I enjoyed it a bit more.

The interface is a big selling point for me in Legacy though. I really wish they'd just offer it anyway...can't imagine it's that hard to implement a toggle, but Jagex of course says it is.

 

It really is a disaster. A chain of disasters. I would prefer they did nothing just so that my mind could continue suppressing the failures of the game.

 

Jagex will do whatever they want, regardless of negative outcomes. They won't admit their mistakes until its too late.

 

I'm pretty sure Legacy mode will pass

 

it is a wait and see situation

 

I will vote yes to legacy --- to try and give people an opportunity to play more comfortably, and hopefully they find that in legacy mode.

I really, really, really want Jagex to let me play EoC (revolution namely) on the old interface. This would take away so much of my stress. The NIS is just not for me.

I also hope that they can balance out Legacy in a way that revitalizes PVP. I will definitely partake in PVP in Legacy mode if they can reconfigure the balancing.

I feel like Legacy might also be more conducive to Clan Wars than EoC combat, but I could be wrong.

 

Update
The Legacy poll is a majority pass, not 70 percent approval.

"Why is the poll pass requirement Highest Total rather than 70%?

Because the impact on the ‘non-legacy’ users of the poll passing is fairly minimal. If someone doesn’t want to use Legacy Mode, they can - for the most part - ignore it.

Note that almost all the global combat and EoC changes on the beta are coming to the live game, independent of what happens with Legacy Mode."

 

Pretty much reaffirms what I said, Jagex put time and money into it so it WILL go through. Even in the rare case it gets shot down at 50%, they'll put it back in beta make a few fixes and re-vote until it gets implemented. They're really all about the illusion of choice. Pick from our four pre-selected options...

 

LMAOOO. So true. Smh. Perfect explanation.

The intelligent ones see through it.


I'm fine with it passing though, it is what it is.

 

I will vote no,reason? :
We already have 07, we don't need legacy yes, 07 isn't the same as pre eoc but Legacy isn't aswell.
Rs3 & 07 is already enough.
