The problem with toggling batching is that it completely changes the rate of xp gain and effort required to gain levels on the especially tedious tasks. That would not be fair for people competing for stats on highscores and who want the "vanilla" experience, since veteran mode is one char type people can really compete on. But this is only my opinion.

I'd like to hear more opinions from people who actually play on veteran characters, what is more important, simply the 1x xp rate or trying to trip features like batching away from skilling experience as well.

I stopped playing Veteran due to lack of batching. I just couldn't picture myself clicking once per fish

Either all on or all off to keep high scores on the playing field?
Or since its not about high scores with such a small player base go with spaces' idea and have toggles for everything.

Well, let's get more input from people actually interested in playing in 1x rate and we can change according to the requests. I could just try getting opinions from like the TOP20 of characters veteran overall xp highscore and see what they say.

Personally i would love to see veteran mode be rscr x1 mode instead of an attempt to recreate rsc itself for multiple reasons,

-Economy and the gameworld is shared between vet and regular mode which in my eyes means that whatever you unlock with your skills has little meaning besides exp,and if one were to play competitive it would be 100x as efficient to transfer resources from a regular and powerlvl the rest.
-monsters have extremely custom drop tables, way more generous then rsc especially at higher level mobs, which i dont think is something you could change for just vet mode and is something that changes the experience a lot.
-afkabilty regular rsc allows for little to no room to be even a little afk when it comes to skilling, i cannot speak for others, but as much as i love rsc if it requires full attention to even play the mode theres thousands of other games that are preferable, rs is more of a thing to play while multitasking.

Considering these things i think most vets would just afk combat stats because its easy and skilling would be neglected, with batching i think there would be a more alive competition when it comes to skilling, and it would also make vet accounts on par with regular accounts, once you get your levels up high enough anyway.
Either way my vet was more of a pet project next to my ult to see how fast i  could get to legends, im not sure how interested i am in actually going on with the account, i do know that the odds are way higher if there would be batching.

Those are all good points.  I personally would have loved for the economy to be separate like in DMM, but it's too late for that now.  Would have actually given a purpose to race up skill levels.  Since the economy is shared, there really is no incentive to level skills other than the highscores.  I agree, I play this game as a multitasking tool, almost like one would play with a fidget spinner or doodle with a pen.  Without batching you basically have to pay constant attention.  I'm having fun, but I'll probably quit or go back to a standard mode shortly if the mode never gets batching.

I am a veteran, rank #6 currently (though I'm not actively seeking to gain ranks, I'm just having fun).

I suppose at the end of the day it all boils down to what the goal is for veteran mode. Some may want a more vanilla experience and some want RSCR but with original xp rates (I am more of the latter now after having played for a while). I come from original Classic, so when I first came here I was looking more for a vanilla experience to fill the void that RSC left when it was shut down. However, since I started playing I've found that I'm coming to like a lot of those little quality of life updates that RSCR has to offer, and to be honest, since RSCR is so different from the original game I'm not sure an vanilla RSC experience would ever really be possible here anyways. But, that isn't a bad thing.

Batching: I'm torn. I haven't experienced batching until I came to RSCR ovbiously, but it is actually sortof nice in my limited experience. Though I do agree that it increases xp rates and lowers effort required, for me that actually isn't a terrible thing. I spent years upon years getting my original stats in RSC one click at a time, so it is kind of nice to have a break, because without some sort of a break quite frankly I'll never be able to get those stats back. I had 81 smithing in RSC, smithing was always one of my favourite skills - I wanted 99 someday. So smithing is likely something I will pursue here as well. I was actually REALLY pleased when I saw that you didn't have to click so many times here in RSCR to make things. I don't want things to be easy by any means, but the more I play the more I find that I like batching when I didn't think I would. I'd like to see a toggle.

And I also still think that veterans should be able to form teams for a team bank, but without the skilling perks.

Nice to see some discussion about vet mode, there doesn't seem to be many of us. I wish it was advertised a bit better, there could be more players like me hopping over from RSC still.

I would personally be okay with an economy wipe, we're early enough into the mode.  Just give everyone a one week warning to transfer all items onto normal characters.  But that's an even bigger change than enabling batching.  The sad thing is, I think this mode could have been hyped up A LOT more, releasing it on the same day as DMM made a lot of people have to choose, I think a ton of people still don't understand what vet mode is or that it's a thing.

But yes, I think there are so many custom things in rscr that trying to replicate rsc completely is basically impossible.  Including all of those custom things but not batching doesn't satisfy that 1:1 rsc experience.  Maybe in a year or something the staff could fully develop a new mode that could integrate in our world but be completely limited to actual rsc standards.  But that would take a ton of development.  It seems the consensus is to just enable all QOL for vets and call it rscr x1.

Was hoping to see some more posts on this thread, darn.

I asked Kleio about it and was told it hasn't been discussed among the staff.  So it sounds like it's not much of a priority, which I guess is understandable given there's only about 40-50 of us at most actively playing the mode.

We will have semifrequent replication updates until the server is fully replicated. Not just 99.99% replicated, but random stuff like gnomeball and miscellaneous foods still missing. This has been our stated highest priority related to veteran mode since rscrevolution announced the closure of RSC, basically, being able to faithfully reproduce all vanilla content from RSC, except in cases where we've improved upon that content.

As for changes to the actual QOL of veteran mode, we'll just have to get more people to weigh in. If batching is the only controversy, then I'd ask what support there is for a 'hardcore' and regular veteran mode where batched (and maybe other features like team bank) would make the difference.

Vet mode as it stands now is already too close to rscr.  It's basically rscr 1x xp with a few QoL taken away, and it's really too late to turn it into a true rsc now.  I don't think you're going to get a whole lot more unique opinions from people actually playing the mode than what you have here now.  I love vet mode but honestly you can tell it was rushed out and the rules are inconsistent.  Wasn't a fair start to new players as we could use wealth on existing chars.  Keep it for the 40-50 of us that are still enjoying it and just make it an always 1x xp rscr mode.

Here's my idea that I'm sure must have been expressed by someone before:

TRUE RSC REPLICA.

Follow the actual, or as close as possible, the timeline of rscrevolution.  You could even do it by date if you roll the mode out in January.  I think we should have enough info with repositories and waybackmachine and whatnot.  You may want to omit some of the bullshit (evil prayer/magic), but actually recreate how rscrevolution was.  Start it F2P like RSCR did when this server started.  Block access to falador gates and wilderness.  You have to make some decisions here about whether or not to include having pk/non-pk options and +/- 2 lvl in-world pk'ing.  But try and be as close to re-creation as possible.  Of course separate economy, no AH, none of the RSCR customization.  This gives you time to work on the missing remaining features like gnomeball, since that stuff wasn't released until much later.

Incrementally roll out Falador/Karamja, item banks, Wilderness, rune items in champs guild, members content, holiday rares, in the same timeline that rscrevolution did.

People have been playing this game for 17 years, many for nostalgia of that very first year of playing.  Many people missed out on those first couple years of rscrevolution and wished they could have lived it.  Give them that chance to re-live it.

Would NEVER be the same ever again. 100 to 200 ppl no! in order to enjoy it like it was you need 1000s of player to get the real authenticity of rscrevolution classic.<--------period
