That was a long article, I am surprised they went into so much depth
This is kinda sad, but at this point I trust Jagex to design a good game, and if they think it’s for the best it probably is. Hope the DT2 rewards end up being worth it regardless.
Unfortunate, but I think the reasons were well laid out, and it’s good that they’re thinking about this stuff so carefully.
I was looking forward to a new prayer book, but it sounds like they made the right call. It really was “more powerfull, but slightly different” than anything ground breaking.
Props to the team for showing that they have standards and won’t just push out an update because they sank time and effort into it.
They may have expected it to fail, but it is an honorable thing to do regardless.
I also agree that it shared too many similarities with the existing prayers which meant that it didn’t bring much in the way of new gameplay.
Maybe in a few months to a year we will get new content where a future iteration of the prayers can interact with it in interesting ways.
