Back in 2012, Jagex briefly mentioned an amend which never came to accomplishment - this was the "Evolution of Summoning", and was said to be formed on afterwards Evolution of Combat. I accept it may accept been Mod Chris L who aboriginal mentioned it, but I'm not absolutely sure. Aback afresh there has been alloyed responses from Jagex as to whether this was anytime a planned amend or concept.
Summoning has abominably not age-old absolute well. Whilst the top akin familiars are absolute popular, the majority of added familiars throughout the accomplishment are semi-useless. Aback the Evolution of Combat, abounding action familiars accept aswell apparent a above abatement in acceptance and usefulness. Summoning is important because not alone is it a fun to accept lots of familiars with capricious abilities, but it aswell opens up a lot of accolade amplitude in agreement of drops. Accolade amplitude array is aswell important appropriate now, because over time added and added skilling assets are traveling to be removed from bead tables - and we can't accept every individual bead as an alchable.
The endure affair we heard in commendations to Summoning, was that it may be traveling to 120 (did absolute able-bodied in the poll, makes faculty as the next 120 skill). It was aswell talked about as a abeyant accolade amplitude if 'Desert Treasure 2' was to anytime be released.
Problems:
- Accustomed mechanics are anachronous in agreement of skilling and action post-EoC. A lot of familiars abridgement any unique, absorbing or agitative furnishings - rather a "+2 addition in X skill".
- Majority of familiars are unused, even added so at lower levels. Players above the lath should be able to acquisition some account in every skill, rather than levelling it for the account of levelling.
- Summoning activity (not summoning appropriate attack) is a abortive artisan of the skill, which alone acts as a barrier at times.
- Majority of familiars are graphically outdated.
- Are Summoning Scrolls still an able way to use Summoning in 2019, and best use of the abeyant account sink? As against to a akin abstraction which agency every accustomed needs to accept both an aftereffect and appropriate effect.
- If Summoning is to be aloft to 120, it would accomplish faculty to fix the problems 1-99 afore accretion the skill.
