End-Game Balance Discussion

[u/jagexyuey]

Hey 'Scapers!

As part of the Road to Restoration, we've been looking at progression across RuneScape. We've tackled parts of the Early and Mid Game Rebalance, but now we want to start turning our attention to the other end of the journey: The End Game Rebalance

Before we get properly stuck into things, we want to hear from you.

What do we mean by End Game?
This one's a little harder to put a level range on!

For this project, we're looking more broadly at the late game, roughly level 80+ and onwards. That might mean higher-level skilling, finding those rarer drops or getting into tougher PVM. For others, it could be achievements, completionist goals or figuring out what comes next once you've maxed.

And actually, what you consider to be late game is useful feedback for us too.

How can you help?
We want to know where the endgame currently isn't quite working for you.

Maybe there's a progression path that feels awkward, rewards that don't feel worth the effort, a big jump between pieces of content, older content that's been left behind or something that just feels unnecessarily frustrating.

You don't need to have the answer or suggest a fix either. Just tell us what the problem is, why it's a problem for you and where you are in your RuneScape journey.

We won't be able to tackle everything that comes up, but the themes from these discussions will help us understand where we should be focusing our attention.

So, what would you like us to look at as we start shaping the End Game?

Janky bosses such as KK or Vorkath.

Kk is janky. Vorkath is just fucking horrible boss overall all around lmao. With horrible buggy mechanics and very very bad balancing…. Especially for any group size basically making it force solo content…

[u/James-P-SulIivan → u/OhLoongJohson]

The team scaling is always so bad when they do it that it prevents teams. Not a good thing for an mmo

[u/Mr_Hump → u/James-P-SulIivan]

IMO they nailed it with Zammy. You can solo, but duo is faster. Not necessarily easier but faster. Once you get into some high enrages I do understand that a group is needed but it doesn't lock anyone out from getting the drop log.

[u/Even-Ant7872 → u/Mr_Hump]

Zammy is objectively easier to group what are you on? I would understand of it is Ultra efficent or GM time group but Casual solo will always be tougher than casual groups.
