    Valentines! & DXPW/Gameblast


    Activity Pets

    • A contingency update which exists to fill an update slot if something like scrapping Weapon Diversity happens again.
      • If it doesn't happen it will be added in normally.
      • It's not a large update taking the slot of another update, it's quite small and mainly outsourced.
    • Adjustments are made to the initial concept art pieces to fit within certain rule-sets/tech limitations.
      • The concepts made by us were communicated with the original artists.
    • The 3D Models are outsourced that's it. The concept art is a design brief for them.

    Jagex Concept Art

    Bonus Information

    • Deer Model - Use this as an excuse to update other animals in the game.
    • Bird models/animations could be reused but each are different sizes, for Richie's it could be used for other medium sized birds.
    • Mune - The Area pet: There were 6 initial, but 2 more were made to fill other environments in game.
      • There aren't as many aquatic regions so it might not be used.
      • Anachronia is too specific and we prefer to be a broad region.

    Mining and Smithing

    Recent Changes - Whiteboard Graphs

    S = Stamina, P = Performance

    Position Graph - - -
    Top left Original S: 100% = P: 100% S: 99-1% = P: 90% S: 0% = P: 80%
    Middle left Changed Linear Decrease from 100% Rockertunity activity = P: 60-75% S: 0% = P: 20%
    Bottom Left Proposed Change P: 100% = P: 100% S: 99-1% = P: 90% S: 0% = P: 20%

    Issues Discussions

    • The proposed changed is currently in QA, ETA - Unknown.
      • Since it affects the whole skill it needs a lot of testing.
    • The right graphs had similar issues with the changed graph (Middle left).
    • We wanted to really target those who were really AFK, but semi-AFK and F2P were heavily affected.
      • Allowing people to AFK initially was done as an experiment and we probably won't do the same in the future.
    • The above graphs are an example of what we discuss and why it takes time going over everything.
      • From a designer point of view it doesn't make sense that there's no change in performance between 99-1% stamina.

    Stone Spirits

    • Current Situation: There are no plans to change their system or function - what they do.
    • It's not a Mining and Smithing problem, it's a drop table problem.
      • We do agree getting a low valued drop is bad, but the fix is addressing the drop table.
      • It isn't a high prioritized issue since there are numerous other low-value drops on tables.
    • PvM is in an okay state, some bosses have their average value drop slightly, otherwise have seen an increase.

    Q&A

    Topic Response
    Camera Angle Forced Turn We want more feedback as to why you want or don't want this.
    Unfilter 1,000 Marks of War Message Something we could do but we want to make sure it isn't spammy/annoying.
    Flask Decanting We've changed our stance to locking it behind the "A First Resort" Quest before you can use it anywhere.
    Guido's bonfire in a bottle No current plans to change it.
    Armor stands in PvM Hub No current plans. You can use Whetstone from Invention.

    Other Updates

    Forums

    There are no current plans to censor the forums, they've had a few pages updated. Another CM wants to do more on there as well.

    PvM Hub - Achievement Garden

    This was scrapped from the initial release since it would required a large amount of time and wasn't the core of what people wanted from a PvM Hub. So we prioritized the core: portals and convenience in order to get it out before Archaeology.

    Maxed Guild Improvements

    It's been bumped down in priority due to stuff in a lead up in Archaeology. There are places where feedback is being gathered to delicate bump its functionality, like an Invention workbench.

    Araxxor Quest

    Not in development. Osborne: "I'll put the script into discord."

    Archaeology ETA

    "Not this week. We're hoping to give you all more info by the end of the month, but it's dependent on us getting a 'go'/'no go' date from our development team.

    Watch this space!"

    Imagine having an entire chat ask about Archaeology for an hour, and your community team doesn't acknowledge their concern.

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 09:59 AM PST

    Like wtf has happened to the Community team at Jagex.

    Why is everything hidden away. You won't communicate your reasoning for making certain decisions anymore. You won't communicate ETAs. You've pulled back a ton of stuff. It's no longer "Living Games". It's dead silent.

    On stream you said there were "No questions". The entire chat was full of them. You said you can't answer them because Mod Mic/Mod Warden weren't there. Yet for the past 5 years you've done streams that hasn't been an issue. OSRS does weekly streams where they constantly answer chat's questions and concerns or at the very least acknowledges it. You can't even do that.

    78 Days Since Uncompressed Textures were "Temporarily Disabled"

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:17 AM PST

    When can we expect full quality textures back in the game? Its been 78 days since they were "temporarily disabled". The game looked so much better before, now everything looks stretched out and pixelated. No one from Jagex will talk about it during the live stream or give any update. Please add Uncompressed textures back into the game.

    Anyone else feel like they obtained zero information from the Q&A stream?

    Super proud of this!

    After 1500 rolls on the motherlode maw loot table, I finally got enough rare item tokens to buy the chic scarf on my ironman (~1300 days+~2k shards)

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:17 AM PST

    Where are these Road to Archaeology videos at?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:28 AM PST

    sooo... just spent 1.3m dg tokens on teleports instead of good luck charms.... is there any way to fix this or am i skrewed? :(

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 05:57 AM PST

    Love the Araxxor change! Now let's fix QBD

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 05:27 AM PST

    It is unbelievably annoying that (now that im getting better) 20-25% of my kill time is waiting for the boss to spawn. Can we have an option to reduce this? Maybe after the first 5 kills (similar to the araxxor-p4 transition, which cant be skipped the first few kills)? Or better yet, always quick spawn if reentering from the loot room. Anyone else have ideas to fix clunky mechanics of other bosses?

    War's Retreat and the other 3 Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 10:14 AM PST

    Hey Everyone! I was wondering what you all would think about the idea of having the other 3 Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Pestilence, Famine, and of course Death) visit War's Retreat at different times of the year. Each visit does not have to be for long periods of time. They could be ranging from a week to a month depending on the buffs to PvM that they bring.

    Each visit brings new PvM themed events and buffs that help keep War's Retreat fresh and exciting as time goes on. Pestilence could bring a small damage boost to reaper assignments. Famine could cause food to heal for more HP. And as we already know, Death could give us increased reaper points (Maybe not 50% extra but a small buff will do).

    I was wondering what suggestions the community might have as I am in all honesty, not much of a creative person when it comes to these things. Perhaps some suggestions on different buffs related to the different Horsemen could be better than the ones I provided. However the purpose of this post is to get the idea out there and spark some new ideas that will hopefully make this game better as a whole!

    Glass case was said to replace mysteria to be more transparent, so why is it back on treasure hunter?

    Update on T92 Armour patches?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 10:28 AM PST

    T92 armour patches have been mentioned in the past year, and again recently just before New Years, with a Jagex Mod supposedly finding time to work on this (a mod mentioned he had time to work on it on Twitter). Is there any update on this?

    I know year ahead and February have been cancelled, but are they all cancelled from here on? Or do I still have something to look forward to?

    Ways to save bank space

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 12:57 PM PST

    I recently remembered a way to save some bank space by using a herb bag to keep all of my herbs in it and save 10+ bankspace.

    other banksavers:

    • Ore bank by using any smelter/anvil
    • Statue collection bag
    • totem bag
    • Clean up filter to remove Diango & Quest items
    • Searching (1), (2), (3)... to decant left-over potions
    • POH costume room
    • Hidey Holes
    • Armor Sets
    • Charos clue carrier
    • POF Barn

    What other less obvious ways to save bank space are there?

    Want to find out for myself and will also add to the list here
