JMOD heavily implied Legacy a waste of Dev Time

Edit: After thinking about it and getting an outside view, I tend to agree with Jayzz's intepretation as opposed to my original one. Good to get another persons look at something. It makes sense now that I read it again



Thoughts? I could be reading this wrong, but sounds like he is heavily implying Legacy was a waste of dev time.

That's probably something you want to keep behind closed doors...as now it just adds even more fuel to the fire.

I don't disagree persay, but a Jmod saying it..shows you how splintered this game really is, I bet most of the jmods don't even agree with each other.

Thoughts?

 

I don't see how that implies that the JMod thinks it's a waste of time.

 

Here's how I saw it, which could be mis-interpreting it:

The plans for artisan took months + tons of developer blogs to try and inform people on what it would be like for a possible vote. However, it looks as if it is going to fail its vote, so this kid was saying that it was a huge waste of time and that "it's okay tho I play legacy" -- to which the Jmod responded, as you can see "Oh the irony of this thread"

I don't see any other irony, do you? Many think legacy was wasted development time because it took months and months to make and now it's just basically a re-skinned version of momentum because it got nerfed by 15-20 percent yesterday.

Also, this Jmod is likely only responsible for 07 content, so taking a shot at RS3 would not exactly be outside of the realm of possibility.

The Jmod pointed out there was irony, and that was the only possible irony I found.

Edit: In addition, I posted this just because I found it interesting to maybe think about Runescape in the eyes of the Jagex moderators. To think that they probably bicker with each other just as much as the people on the RSOF do. I thought it was odd, though, that a Jmod was seemingly discrediting something that took a lot of dev. time. Because I simply don't see any other way he meant that there was irony...maybe the fact that he's complaining about updates but plays legacy? An update tons of people complain about? Idk..

 

Mod Weath is not responsible for 07 content. He works with anti-cheating on both RS3 and 07.

The Irony is that they have spent a lot of time on Legacy and they still ended up polling it at the end after months of development. That's my interpretation of it.

 

just logged into rs3 first time in over a year and a half and it looks shitter than ever

 

Ok cool, thanks for the clarification.

As for the interpretation...interesting. That's a good way of looking at it. Still though, the fact it is inherently ambiguous leads me to believe it was still probably a mistake for him to say it. Especially so soon after Legacy's implementation, which is already fueling a ridiculous amount of arguments throughout the forums.

But I like your interpretation, it seems more logical as to what Weath meant. However, let's assume I incorrectly interpreted it, that means many others probably will too. So I don't know why he said it, I guess the Jmods are just finally growing tired of every little thing being meticulously ripped to shreds.

 

It's obvious there's no real heart in Legacy - rushed and filled with bugs.

I watched a dev blog on Youtube and the laziness that came across from the mods was disgusting. "Oh I did that just need yo finish it off some time" or "yeah I could do that some time" were common replies.

 

Couldn't agree more, that's especially why I thought Mod Weath's comment was just going to make people go even more batshit insane. I'm not sure if it did or not, I think the thread was locked.

But yeah, the nerf of legacy yesterday, which wasn't even advertised, pissed a lot of people off. My tests still showed that Revolution was favorable to legacy Pre-Nerf, now its wayyyy faster.

Legacy is only good if you want the older styled interface while skilling. Offers literally no respite for combat...kind of hilarious actually.

 

There's some kinda nerf with godswords on legacy.

My friend was one hitting at lrc and two hitting at waterfiends with a bgs
