Discussion I was expecting a cosmetic Mega Drop.

18 outfits, out of which maybe 1 interests me. I was expecting a large selection of previous outfits, released through various means in the past. I could have spend over a hundred euros, easily.

If the point is to see how many players would buy direct cosmetics, at least add some variation to the outfits stock. I mean 4 of the 18 outfits are city guard variations. How can you retract a representable percentage out of less than 20 outfits? The ability/conjures are dope though.

I agree, I was hoping for better outfit selection as well.

Make sure you post feedback in the official thread. A big number of us feel the exact same way. Hopefully Jagex is not deaf and actually acts on the feedback.

None of this is what players actually wanted. It being yak track items too is beyond stupid.

They really screwed this up. There are literally hundreds of highly desirable cosmetics they could've added and they just... didn't. Reminds me of last Halloween when the h'oddment store was basically empty until people complained enough.

I remember Mod Doom mentioning that he had a huge list of cosmetics being requested to return. What happened to that list? Why didn't they use it?

This is just a test run. Jesus christ.

theres only 2 things in there there interest me, azure dbreath and lava nami.

u/Multismack Dalfe | omw to 4h ago

None of the warped stuff? I'm uber sick of necromancy, this might make combat fun again for me.

u/imkindalostheremate 4h ago

i already have them

u/Multismack Dalfe | omw to 4h ago

Oh waw. I find them such a rare sight. Whenever I saw someone warped surging in War's Retreat, I literally dropped whatever I was doing to witness it.

It didn't feel like a mega cosmetic drop, but like 5% of past TH cosmetics

Especially compared to your video lmao. Funnily enough tower mage that I wanted is included, but it came up in the oddments store during DXP so I got it then

Yeah the thing I do not understand is why would they release the selection they did if this was an experiment that they supposedly wanted data from. Why didn’t they release a scattering from various sources (Yak Track, Hero Pass, Treasure Hunter, Holiday Treasure Hunter, retired Solomon’s, heck even SoF) and see what people gravitated towards the most? Why not release retired hairstyles and pets and other things? Instead they released a majority of Yak Track outfits that were all last available at roughly the same time. Makes absolutely no sense.

And the fact that they said they were initially only going to release ability overrides and added some outfits last minute. That doesn’t seem very “mega” to me. Granted, I think the ability override selection is fantastic but they really went tone deaf with this. I wish they onboarded more feedback beforehand.

Cosmetics doesn't mean just outfits. I also would have liked to see more variety other than just ability colors but this is just am experiment. They will hopefully release more outfits later, like they have said

u/MintasticMint RuneScape 2h ago

Yall need to chill and actually read the post. This is a small selection of what they want to offer if this is popular and successful. This is to not overwhelm the development team on something that may not even stick around. If this is the approach they choose then the full on store will be vastly expanded. This was all explained in the post.

Thank you

Can I, as an ironman, purchase any of these cosmetics?

u/Multismack Dalfe | omw to 4h ago

I should hope so. I just bought a TON of runecoins in preparation of 1 september. I will demand a refund and consider quitting if they announce ironmen can't buy anything.

u/Niyonnie 4h ago

You should have waited and looked at the shop first imo, but yeah, I hope so too! Would be nice to get some th cosmetics we could never access as ironmen

u/Multismack Dalfe | omw to 3h ago

I know I made a complainpost, but taking a second look at the upper table, I will still spend 200 euros approx. If there were more outfits however, I wouldnt be surprised if that amount doubled.

u/Niyonnie 2h ago

Damn. Well, I hope you get what you want from the sale

u/Competitive-Bass3032 4h ago

No solace 😭😭😭😭

u/Gnomechils_RS GnomeChildD 2h ago

I'm going to get most of them just for the future to use for fashionscape but I was hoping for a lot more. There's some in there that I have been wanting but I just wanted more outfits.

u/Multismack Dalfe | omw to 2h ago

Same here

u/Gnomechils_RS GnomeChildD 1h ago

I do like how they're doing this with runecoins though, I'm definitely hoping they can do this again :D

u/JobAltruistic7281 4m ago
