| 0s | and we're live hello and welcome to this |
|---|---|
| 2s | week's old school Q&A livestream I'm |
| 5s | joined this week on the couch by MA - |
| 7s | hello Maude wolf hello Musti yep and on |
| 11s | them they're sorry on the end on the end |
| 13s | there tied hello hello right I am your |
| 19s | host Maude gambits we'll start off with |
| 21s | the announcements as we usually do not a |
| 24s | lot to go through this week but I did |
| 26s | want to say we have a PvP blog coming |
| 28s | out in a couple weeks which Maude well |
| 32s | hopefully coming out in a couple weeks |
| 33s | at least this month which is being |
| 35s | worked on by Maude acorn I believe |
| 37s | herself and Maude Rock are working hard |
| 40s | on those changes for you based on the |
| 42s | feedback that we got during the the |
| 47s | focus groups thank you the focus group |
| 49s | sessions that we had with you guys lots |
| 52s | of feedback lots of exciting changes up |
| 54s | and coming for PvP I know the LMS stuff |
| 63s | is looking really good in particular so |
| 65s | watch out for that other announcement is |
| 71s | we obviously have the Welsh we talked |
| 73s | briefly about the update that plants can |
| 75s | expect tomorrow what's what's going into |
| 76s | game sure I really wish they wrote that |
| 80s | down remember well I remember that |
| 86s | there's something under the hood in this |
| 87s | one that some players hope yeah well |
| 90s | even though is there but we're putting |
| 93s | in a lot more tracking code in the loot |
| 96s | dropping of monsters so that we can get |
| 99s | some better data out of the game to know |
| 102s | what's being dropped and how much so |
| 106s | that's yeah when we've got a drop table |
| 108s | when people say badly balanced - too |
| 110s | powerful to - underpowered it doesn't |
| 114s | take so long for us to get the famous |
| 116s | data so that we can make a proper |
| 118s | decision about it we've sometimes find |
| 121s | it frustrating |
| 121s | I think players have commented that we |
| 123s | sometimes take about two weeks doing |
| 125s | that kind of thing and even so it can |
| 128s | often be a bit skewed by one famous |
| 130s | picture that gets blown up all over |
| 131s | Reddit so we hope that by |
| 134s | this extra coating now on the hood we'll |
| 136s | be able to make that kind of decision a |
| 138s | lot more accurately and hopefully a bit |
| 141s | faster now |
| 143s | that's involved I think here and edited |
| 146s | he said 14,000 eyes I was 13,000 or |
| 150s | 13,000 I think we're picking hair is |
| 151s | really whether you're talking about a |
| 153s | lot of work and one and there's some |
| 159s | other change in there as well regarding |
| 161s | drops that don't always appear in the |
| 164s | same places other drops from the same |
| 166s | monster at the same time especially the |
| 168s | case for things like Champions files |
| 170s | we're trying to address that as well |
| 174s | that's a lot of drop tables changed no |
| 177s | effect you know your chances of getting |
| 179s | good loot bad loot but we do have a |
| 181s | chance of regular loot appearing in the |
| 183s | wrong tile III hopefully we won't happen |
| 187s | which or from that that's in tomorrow's |
| 189s | update I remember a couple of things now |
| 190s | actually I remember automation of plank |
| 193s | lunar plank make it slower than manually |
| 195s | casting bio it I think the three ticks |
| 196s | we made it maybe four I don't remember |
| 198s | I've dropped my head but it's slower the |
| 200s | manually casting by a nice chunk that |
| 202s | was obviously polls to seven we've also |
| 204s | added in game clock which shows the in |
| 206s | game time so if you're American it will |
| 208s | show the GMT time actually even if |
| 210s | you're British it's currently negative |
| 211s | an hour so when it hits zero zero zero |
| 213s | zero Universal spoiled milk so you can |
| 216s | tell when it's a daily reset or |
| 218s | something she would keep track of that |
| 219s | it's awesome fear blood changes |
| 220s | happening like their quality of life |
| 222s | happening there some other night locust |
| 224s | room stuff changes and I think is our |
| 226s | first like the speeding up the speed of |
| 228s | you know the beginning I said yes it had |
| 229s | been scaled perhaps too much for smaller |
| 232s | parties so that they wouldn't have an |
| 233s | impossible challenge and it'd be scaled |
| 235s | so much they had a very boring easy |
| 237s | challenge so that's been rebalanced also |
| 240s | I think Kieran did a rod noise fixed to |
| 243s | stop verdict having her walk stall |
| 248s | having her animation stall her walk so |
| 251s | that he won't appear to be by letting |
| 252s | you from right across the room and a |
| 254s | fixed for how she and sometimes gets |
| 257s | stuck on the same target while they're |
| 259s | in the middle of dying I think those |
| 261s | will help a bit there's quite a few mods |
| 263s | Karim that I've taught my head to be |
| 264s | honest met okay yeah yeah |
| 267s | so other small quality of life changes |
| 269s | like the mage training arena has had one |
| 273s | so I think when you guys from the |
| 274s | alchemy room and you leave or log out |
| 276s | before you would have lost them now |
| 278s | they'd be deposited automatically yes of |
| 279s | course that's a developer who programmed |
| 281s | it yeah so now what happens is if you |
| 285s | log out and you have coins in your |
| 286s | inventory which you have gained from the |
| 287s | room you will get your XP and your |
| 289s | points as well as if you leave you know |
| 291s | your XP and points as well you don't |
| 293s | have to deposit them manually Bruno do |
| 295s | you remember any more and we've not |
| 297s | mentioned we do worked on them as well |
| 299s | you probably programmed them whatever |
| 301s | yeah there was there was the barrows |
| 305s | berries yes that's one that's a really |
| 307s | good one actually yes talk about your |
| 308s | burrow now if you have any ammo in your |
| 311s | ammo slots that is dropped by the |
| 312s | berries chest it will be put into your |
| 314s | armor slot as well as rooms in your room |
| 317s | pouch if you have them in your in pouch |
| 318s | that's a pogchamp right there that's a |
| 321s | pagas sounds pretty good begin a clue |
| 323s | scroll loot to reboot yes yeah so from |
| 327s | looking at Twitter reddit and in-game I |
| 330s | have seen some feedback and I've added |
| 332s | more items on there to give you more of |
| 334s | a variety and changed a couple of the |
| 339s | rates for some things to just help out |
| 342s | some people because I felt the certain |
| 345s | thing that I've changed was a bit too |
| 347s | harsh and so it's now a bit more common |
| 350s | mm-hmm this house jolly enigmatic p.m. |
| 356s | that's really quiet today that's |
| 361s | something I wants to ask if anyone |
| 362s | behind-the-scenes could reach out to mod |
| 364s | Shawnee and double check we had a |
| 365s | broadcast probably check to tell us I'm |
| 367s | sure the letters no I think someone in |
| 368s | the chat said there wasn't one if make |
| 370s | sure that happens I think that's my |
| 371s | mistake for not checking |
| 373s | um and those questions as chat from I in |
| 376s | the dual who would like to know what |
| 379s | happens there Sidious update mod West |
| 381s | did the mapping modern Mars has done a |
| 384s | coat support to hand all the things |
| 386s | having to move around and I think mod |
| 388s | Bruno is leading the testing on that one |
| 390s | it's not ready for tomorrow's update but |
| 394s | some he'll continue working on it and |
| 396s | hopefully we'll have it later in this |
| 397s | month yeah we're probably good time |
| 400s | bring up them as well that tomorrow is |
| 402s | after tomorrow's updates we're then |
| 405s | gonna have a week off update wise so |
| 408s | next Thursday there won't be an update |
| 410s | at all yeah we've got quite a lot going |
| 413s | on us you have heard with the various |
| 416s | blogs being worked on and called the |
| 418s | stuff from poll 67 addressing existing |
| 420s | content and influency feedback changes |
| 423s | to it and the PvP blog that's some |
| 425s | getting compiled and frankly the weekly |
| 428s | update process is taking a lot of the |
| 430s | team's time because of all the build |
| 433s | testing need to be done for it as well |
| 435s | as making its news post and compiling |
| 438s | the release build is quite a job in |
| 440s | itself so all things considered between |
| 443s | all that and the national holiday coming |
| 446s | up on Monday |
| 446s | mave takes a lot of time out of May I |
| 448s | don't know what it is with them this |
| 451s | country and Penkala date in May but it's |
| 453s | next to holiday on Monday so yeah we're |
| 456s | taking a week off updates on the 9th |
| 459s | normal service resuming on the 16th |
| 461s | hopefully with the feedback changes to |
| 463s | the seed vault that people is asking for |
| 464s | in poll 67 and on that right now and as |
| 467s | done a good job of that and just for |
| 469s | that yeah so what placeholders saplings |
| 471s | at it and Seed Vault |
| 472s | so 30 future making it longer making |
| 475s | taller and stuff that's not bitty yeah |
| 477s | that was all coming the best and really |
| 478s | nice nice ones it looks they have a |
| 480s | really tiny leg with a giant foot like I |
| 491s | started so yeah why not on the merge |
| 499s | store now I think as of last week all |
| 501s | the weak forms come and when exactly it |
| 503s | recently this is that it the merged all |
| 505s | the fancy sock which is being modeled |
| 507s | now in the hands of MA - by a severed |
| 510s | foot for to grab you get your hands on |
| 512s | those yet go to the go to the merch |
| 514s | store via the website grab there that |
| 519s | was seamless nobody would even know a |
| 521s | thread cool so gonna move on to the |
| 525s | questions now if you have any of your |
| 527s | own please do post them in the chat and |
| 529s | direct them towards at runescape we have |
| 530s | the lovely mod Bruno who |
| 532s | gonna kindly gather those for us so |
| 535s | hopefully at the end we'll get around to |
| 536s | answering some of those our first |
| 539s | question is from Dennis and he points |
| 543s | out that there are notes our quests or |
| 545s | mini quests despite the fact that nearly |
| 546s | every other race in Gillan or has quests |
| 549s | can we create a line for them lest we be |
| 552s | racist against bizarre quite mmm Edie is |
| 557s | an ambitious person |
| 559s | he's a very ambitious he wants to do a |
| 561s | lot of work with quests obviously he |
| 563s | loves his law I do as well a lot of |
| 565s | people on the team do but who works |
| 568s | we're finishing the elf City storyline |
| 570s | this summer right we're and we're very |
| 573s | aware those other storylines still need |
| 575s | to be continued including ones that we |
| 578s | made ourselves was there and as much as |
| 583s | I'd like to do as our series I think |
| 586s | there's a level of like can we finish a |
| 588s | couple more off first perhaps and we |
| 590s | don't want to do a maybe 2004 2005 thing |
| 594s | where we start say the elf series for |
| 597s | example you know let's make a dwarf |
| 599s | series that's called I think a goblin |
| 600s | series and then never finish any of them |
| 602s | it doesn't really it's not as good I |
| 603s | think I'm cool when the pistil Dillo |
| 607s | request whatever it's pronounced bill |
| 609s | something of a sort i anyway when that |
| 614s | thing combat in rs3 I think it was |
| 616s | pretty standalone and was not trying to |
| 620s | link into a lot more stuff it just made |
| 623s | you explore the relationships within the |
| 625s | SAR culture between their different |
| 629s | casts of people and required you to |
| 635s | apparently try and write Mack the Knife |
| 637s | as as our opera if I recall that was |
| 641s | correct very strange I remember I don't |
| 645s | know if it's you know if it's in the |
| 647s | game now if I came out with the bill I |
| 648s | think you know the deal quest as well |
| 649s | but they had a library yes and the |
| 652s | library is just ashes and they're like |
| 653s | these human books are really weird how |
| 655s | do you read these things well I also I |
| 657s | was kind of yeah that's why you had to |
| 658s | teach me to write their own literature |
| 659s | yeah in a slant or something wasn't |
| 661s | something of the sort I do I do like the |
| 664s | idea of expand |
| 665s | on the sastra especially because we've |
| 667s | got the Tasik are now in chaos it's |
| 669s | quite a nice walk quite a nice |
| 670s | opportunity to tie say a bit more into |
| 674s | the mainland law wise so to make you |
| 676s | feel more part of the game than it |
| 678s | currently does some good opportunities |
| 680s | there I think I think regarding quests |
| 684s | as well I think right now we're running |
| 686s | on what liquor one maybe two ish good |
| 690s | big quests a year and then a couple of |
| 692s | small ones here and there as people have |
| 694s | time for them or as people do stuff I |
| 695s | think players enjoy that a lot more I |
| 697s | think players feel like they are |
| 699s | compelled to go do a new quest when it |
| 700s | comes out and if they had that feeling |
| 702s | maybe every month or one the quality of |
| 704s | the quests wouldn't be there we'd only |
| 706s | be doing quests which means no other |
| 707s | content to be developed and you know |
| 709s | people don't like some people genuinely |
| 711s | don't like quests and that feeling of |
| 712s | going back and having to go get my quest |
| 714s | Cape for another quest I think I think |
| 716s | the balance without requests right now |
| 718s | is pretty good I'm not opposed to a |
| 720s | bizarre quest line I think it's just |
| 723s | picking and choosing as we go on which |
| 725s | hits Laura we want to expand on it would |
| 727s | be good see from the capsules one day |
| 732s | it's a sad point for me way okay it'll |
| 736s | come out at one point it's just we're |
| 739s | really busy at the moment requests |
| 741s | you've written a quest you three might |
| 743s | have some thoughts I have ideas I |
| 745s | genuinely really do like quests some |
| 748s | people chat maybe thought I was saying |
| 749s | that as no don't had quests I hate them |
| 751s | I do enjoy them I just don't want to do |
| 753s | exclusively quests and I think that a |
| 754s | lot of people it's recommended you do |
| 757s | the battles grind early on and people |
| 758s | definitely get into a feeling or barrows |
| 760s | clubs grind other people really do feel |
| 762s | like they they get into that another |
| 764s | question or the quest not a quest and it |
| 765s | loses its magic I guess you know the |
| 768s | feeling of the going through a story if |
| 770s | that's all you're doing well also quest |
| 772s | can be different sizes like fun of the |
| 774s | elves is huge |
| 775s | yes mmm-hmm that's what you wrote is not |
| 781s | so video is very quick two days that one |
| 784s | yeah lower graphics budget at all yeah |
| 786s | so my favorite kind of quest we could |
| 789s | have a lot more of those but maybe you |
| 791s | wouldn't want us to wear something the |
| 793s | scale of this or Dragon Slayer to but it |
| 797s | takes a bit more investment from |
| 798s | because we can't do a whole lot of other |
| 800s | things while that's going on quests are |
| 801s | great I love when a new quest comes out |
| 803s | but I mean the best part was when you |
| 805s | were open up your subscription tab on |
| 806s | YouTube you clicked the video and hello |
| 808s | and welcome to my guide and you got I |
| 811s | remain very fond of making friends of my |
| 813s | arm yeah that there is a lot to do Zack |
| 819s | would be a thing to do in the future and |
| 820s | that's great you know I still want to I |
| 823s | saw want to work on my friend Nick stuff |
| 825s | and it's really it's hard because you |
| 827s | know you've got stuff in your head that |
| 828s | you reel in so much stuff it's like I |
| 830s | really want to I want to investigate the |
| 832s | possibility of things like lunar prayers |
| 834s | for a grandmaster or you know Dagon of |
| 837s | Queens or maybe like cockatrice Kings |
| 840s | and all these different family things we |
| 842s | can just see I could I liked Fremen it |
| 843s | quite a lot but then the other part of |
| 846s | me is just like gosh we have a lot of |
| 848s | stuff that we need that be saying we're |
| 849s | gonna promise to deliver on and I've |
| 850s | been working on right now PvP and the |
| 852s | bunks coming out and you know priorities |
| 854s | shift right what the continuous sea |
| 857s | slugs just not as a copy of salt in the |
| 859s | wound |
| 860s | yeah yes quest I'm really keen on seeing |
| 863s | wrapped up in the old-school way so |
| 865s | maybe a little different two-way RS we |
| 867s | did well I don't I know what the dev had |
| 869s | in mind because he told me before he |
| 871s | went and it's not a secret wait if he |
| 874s | tells you what he thinks is gonna happen |
| 877s | at the end of slug Menace and that is |
| 878s | roughly where the developer wanted to go |
| 880s | I can give me some thoughts as to how |
| 882s | well the temple Knights may have to deal |
| 885s | with some other factions that they don't |
| 886s | always get on with if we were to follow |
| 889s | that storyline further and the developer |
| 893s | wanted to UM explore some of the less |
| 896s | salubrious history of saradomin but it |
| 899s | could be interesting mm-hmm curious um |
| 902s | yourself mod husky you've had a chance |
| 904s | to start thinking about I mean I got |
| 907s | writing a little bit of law identify how |
| 909s | Oh allowing me to like I don't know |
| 911s | spoil anything |
| 912s | boilers maybe maybe talk a little bit |
| 915s | about what you've been working on |
| 916s | without giving away too much I won't say |
| 920s | exactly what the project I've been |
| 922s | working on is I've bought finishing my |
| 924s | training a few weeks ago they have also |
| 926s | been tested the project that means I |
| 928s | will tackle a large number of areas of |
| 930s | the game whether it's cent handling NPC |
| 932s | creating items that sort of thing some |
| 934s | of the law I'm looking at expanding a |
| 938s | little bit is regarding the kingdom of |
| 940s | our l'amour that's being hinted at |
| 941s | through Laura and some of the who |
| 943s | perhaps the religion that they they |
| 947s | smell prey to I guess that were down |
| 950s | there I've got a meeting with ed |
| 952s | tomorrow to talk about his plans with it |
| 954s | and how my ideas will fit in with his |
| 957s | exciting so yeah I'm excited and what |
| 960s | they have a different God well yeah I |
| 962s | mean the idea was there are a lot of |
| 965s | different Pantheon Zin in the real world |
| 968s | you know people have different views and |
| 969s | how the gods work and we didn't scape as |
| 971s | a world you know going back to original |
| 973s | three Gothic sourdough means that Sam |
| 975s | Urick was very much like good evil and |
| 977s | in between they were you know there's a |
| 979s | lot of ideas for gods out there regards |
| 981s | to like you know you can go the god of |
| 983s | the the god of the sea the god of the |
| 985s | land that God you know and the idea |
| 988s | that's maybe the direction was sort of |
| 989s | looking at for as a I'm maybe looking at |
| 991s | some more primitive ideas of God's joy |
| 996s | playing with it for Sora where we left |
| 998s | it fairly ambiguous whether that is a |
| 999s | God or whether it's a whopping great big |
| 1002s | spell-casting snake it's just worked out |
| 1003s | how to farm people it kills all the flax |
| 1008s | pickers you know bears quest a quest |
| 1015s | question there we go yes yes so our next |
| 1019s | question from risk they want to know if |
| 1021s | we can allow them to click through other |
| 1024s | players random events as we can with |
| 1026s | pets because they often get in the way |
| 1029s | engine feature will give them for that |
| 1031s | is already in use for pets and it isn't |
| 1033s | quite flexible enough to allow for it to |
| 1034s | be used for a lot more things at the |
| 1036s | same sort and I thought it was and then |
| 1037s | we'd talk about it just before the |
| 1038s | stream when I went I have this little |
| 1040s | chat yeah we were looking at other ways |
| 1043s | of hacking around it so just hiding them |
| 1046s | if you're not in the middle of a random |
| 1047s | event yourself so that when one spawns |
| 1049s | for you something you see everybody's |
| 1050s | well at once which might look hilarious |
| 1051s | do I find it very good individually do |
| 1055s | it so that you'd only see other people's |
| 1057s | say and random event like so only if |
| 1060s | coincidentally somebody else has a you |
| 1062s | know possibly be nearby if you get a |
| 1064s | policy P you might like |
| 1065s | there's might appear at the same time |
| 1067s | kind of thing but okay it's not perfect |
| 1070s | but it's very unlikely to see anyone |
| 1073s | else yeah yeah it just it would look |
| 1075s | weird because it is so unlikely it's on |
| 1076s | those things that every now and then |
| 1077s | what happened you'd be like huh huh yeah |
| 1079s | okay is a feature I would very much like |
| 1081s | as most people know I'm chasing the max |
| 1083s | grin right now and doing that already |
| 1084s | rooftops and seeing the random event |
| 1086s | that doesn't get to the person but it's |
| 1087s | also on the cliff spots where the course |
| 1089s | is quite annoying especially on mobile |
| 1091s | because then you have to try and hold |
| 1092s | click or rotate to get the spot just |
| 1094s | right so is a feature I would like to |
| 1096s | have |
| 1096s | I could see players annoyance at it okay |
| 1101s | Panozzo says with the zero my nerf and |
| 1106s | the crystal Halley's specna could you |
| 1108s | explain your underlying philosophy |
| 1110s | behind why the decision so I find the |
| 1112s | decision to to know if these methods do |
| 1114s | you think the XP rates shouldn't be able |
| 1116s | to be boosted by alternate accounts or |
| 1118s | runners and how do you justify normal |
| 1120s | altar running splashes for thieving and |
| 1122s | pacer accounts burning monkeys in the |
| 1124s | monkey banners to tunnels I was a very |
| 1127s | topical question yes it's quite a very |
| 1129s | recent decision and approach that we've |
| 1131s | begun to take so let's pick the question |
| 1136s | up yes quite a lot to go over and can I |
| 1139s | see this yeah let's okay so that's so |
| 1144s | with Jeddah my reasoning behind those |
| 1149s | nmi in particular is that when we pulled |
| 1151s | that because that was added after the |
| 1153s | release of old school we pulled it with |
| 1155s | experience rates and we thought it was |
| 1159s | kind of not intentionally but it might |
| 1162s | have been perceived as misleading when |
| 1164s | we show those numbers and people are in |
| 1167s | fact getting what like 3 B 1 3 like fat |
| 1171s | for 4 or 5 times 5 X yeah yeah the |
| 1173s | experience that they had on that and we |
| 1175s | thought that might be something we |
| 1177s | should probably address so we did |
| 1179s | especially the clock world said am i |
| 1181s | when it first came to the other version |
| 1183s | of runescape was in a time where the |
| 1185s | trade was restricted so that you |
| 1186s | couldn't use alts in that kind of way |
| 1188s | all the runners in that kind of way even |
| 1190s | if you could all the other alters just |
| 1192s | to clarify on that by the way because |
| 1193s | I've seen a couple of questions on it |
| 1194s | you cancel trade people in that area |
| 1196s | just not pure S&C they'll trade to |
| 1197s | follow and stuff if you're doing |
| 1199s | things like lavas you know people will |
| 1201s | still run lobbers and there that's still |
| 1203s | 160 kr something like that it's still |
| 1205s | good but that's fine that existed prior |
| 1207s | to the game when the game was released |
| 1210s | that wasn't something we poles that's |
| 1211s | why that's being kept and other runners |
| 1213s | are allowed for the I can just jump in |
| 1217s | yes actually when we were going over the |
| 1219s | update that's happening tomorrow we did |
| 1220s | actually somehow kind of forget if |
| 1222s | anyone who doesn't know this is one of |
| 1223s | the things which is happening you won't |
| 1225s | be able to trade in the urania cave so |
| 1228s | how you pronounce it in that cave |
| 1230s | anymore you won't be able to trade their |
| 1232s | pure essence you can still sin trade |
| 1235s | office you can sell each other fish if |
| 1236s | you want to but you can't put some pure |
| 1239s | essence through the trade screen man or |
| 1241s | drop traders yeah don't leave dropping |
| 1243s | or dying or yeah no that's all covered |
| 1246s | with the crystal Halle spec nerf I |
| 1250s | believe that was more to do with the |
| 1254s | difference in the amount that it |
| 1257s | increased the training method so it's |
| 1260s | not necessary you know is it because of |
| 1263s | old sand stuff it's not so much the fact |
| 1266s | that we disallow alts we don't per se it |
| 1270s | like something if you want to put the |
| 1272s | extra effort in that's fine but at the |
| 1275s | point where you're getting ten times |
| 1277s | like the actual experience you should be |
| 1280s | getting that's kind of pushing it a |
| 1281s | little bit we already previously capped |
| 1283s | the amount of creatures that you know |
| 1286s | that Special Attack and hit in the past |
| 1288s | because of a similar issue so we took |
| 1290s | that Brogden law that number in PvP |
| 1292s | because it was such a substantial amount |
| 1295s | like in which I guess addresses the |
| 1297s | month like you know people are hurting |
| 1298s | people from monkey -2 and you know |
| 1302s | normal altar running and splashing to |
| 1305s | drag people over like so using one alt |
| 1308s | generally speaking it's okay putting a |
| 1310s | bit more effort in you're getting a |
| 1311s | minor fish increase that's fine in terms |
| 1316s | of what we see is acceptable but when |
| 1318s | it's 10 times that's too much yeah when |
| 1321s | it comes to yeah I think that kind of so |
| 1327s | answers that the best I can to tell to |
| 1329s | come round to the question which is what |
| 1332s | the philosophy behind the decisions I |
| 1334s | think the first one which you mentioned |
| 1336s | is we want to always try and keep XP |
| 1338s | rates around what was polled |
| 1340s | because that's important if we specified |
| 1341s | an XP rate or a number we want to be as |
| 1344s | accurate to that as possible and with |
| 1345s | that in mind we're also looking at the |
| 1346s | underwater fishing the underwater |
| 1348s | agility and leaving not the fishing yes |
| 1351s | so there is a couple of other things |
| 1352s | that we're looking into right now which |
| 1354s | I don't mind talking about if you want |
| 1356s | me to so swimming underwater leaving |
| 1358s | agility we're looking at potentially |
| 1360s | lowering that by about ten percent it's |
| 1362s | pretty close to where it's meant to be |
| 1363s | it's just some people are able to get a |
| 1364s | little bit higher so we're gonna be |
| 1365s | looking at slightly nerfing the |
| 1367s | experience they're not substantially but |
| 1369s | enough to make it so it's closer to what |
| 1371s | was Paul some usability improvement yes |
| 1374s | mine there as well that's um I think |
| 1376s | you've been cataloging it for me yes so |
| 1378s | just to make it a little bit better so |
| 1381s | it's a bit more approachable for normal |
| 1383s | players we're looking at we're aware of |
| 1385s | the issue of the Aero we're looking into |
| 1386s | that right now but we're not too sure |
| 1388s | how we can fix it on right now |
| 1389s | but things like you know the area |
| 1391s | lighting changes getting rid of that |
| 1393s | allowing it so the obstacles can be used |
| 1394s | by more than one person at once |
| 1396s | pufferfish we're gonna try and make it |
| 1398s | saw their per person so you're not |
| 1400s | fighting for pufferfish because that's |
| 1401s | some ideas for that yeah be tricky Doug |
| 1403s | we're gonna try and make the content |
| 1405s | better while slightly reducing the |
| 1406s | experience such a good the other |
| 1409s | big-ticket methods we've been talking |
| 1412s | about is the library books yes so |
| 1414s | Jackie's house we're also looking at the |
| 1417s | rks runecrafting method and we're |
| 1421s | looking at having it so that you can't |
| 1423s | bank those books if you already have |
| 1425s | them banks will probably be removed from |
| 1427s | your bank |
| 1428s | when if the update happens and we're |
| 1430s | also gonna obviously not make them |
| 1431s | bankable anymore kind of thing and we |
| 1433s | hope that that should be looking at the |
| 1435s | numbers we're pretty happy with where it |
| 1438s | drops at - so it's still a viable method |
| 1440s | for people but it's not so much better |
| 1442s | that it's the best thing in the world to |
| 1444s | do if your specific character archetype |
| 1446s | right if you want to Train runecrafting |
| 1447s | you can't do it by books but it's not |
| 1449s | gonna be as good as it you know training |
| 1451s | runecrafting mm-hmm yeah so our main |
| 1455s | driver behind decisions is trying to |
| 1456s | stick to what was polled and in cases |
| 1458s | like that where we haven't polled |
| 1459s | specific rates it's just a case of |
| 1460s | playing it by ear and seeing what's best |
| 1462s | for the integrity of the game in terms |
| 1464s | of |
| 1464s | is something broken if you're getting a |
| 1466s | million compact XP per hour that's |
| 1468s | probably broken and it's just off |
| 1472s | playing it by ear and for the books but |
| 1474s | I don't think we ever did polar and |
| 1475s | intended rate for them the fact that we |
| 1477s | introduced something that was clearly |
| 1480s | better than we were aiming for we do |
| 1482s | feel it's worth addressing it I'm gonna |
| 1484s | bring up something that's coming up in |
| 1485s | the chat it's come up a lot on Twitter |
| 1486s | and stuff as well but like people have |
| 1488s | been like oh we shouldn't have prayer |
| 1489s | flicking as well |
| 1490s | we accept prayer licking as a legitimate |
| 1492s | method in fact we've now balance bosses |
| 1494s | specifically around flicking prayer |
| 1496s | right I mean L&S is at the moment before |
| 1499s | we design purely based on pressing right |
| 1501s | infinitely springs to believe in phone |
| 1503s | or - I also if you're going through your |
| 1505s | to keep us applied you're probably gonna |
| 1507s | be prayer flicking like that to us is a |
| 1509s | legitimate thing in game that is like a |
| 1511s | skill cap thing and we like that so |
| 1514s | we're not going to be changing that when |
| 1516s | it comes to things like three ticking as |
| 1517s | well we've said this upon the couch as |
| 1519s | well it's not so three ticking is a bit |
| 1522s | weird at one but still our belief is |
| 1525s | that is you know you're getting a not |
| 1527s | substantial increase in experience for |
| 1529s | most things it's a good chunk but it's |
| 1531s | not ridiculously over-the-top and we |
| 1532s | think if you want for that extra effort |
| 1533s | in you deserve that extra XP the only |
| 1536s | thing that we try to do is when we |
| 1537s | release new content is try and avoid |
| 1539s | introducing new methods because we don't |
| 1541s | want to accidentally ally about |
| 1543s | experience that we've polled and then a |
| 1545s | three tick come out and change the |
| 1548s | actual experiences that we mention so if |
| 1549s | we put something in a blog and we're |
| 1551s | saying some be 100 K an hour if we want |
| 1553s | it to be three take a ball we will say |
| 1555s | it will be this for three difficult |
| 1556s | right like when we were doing sandstone |
| 1558s | for Iron Men we specifically said these |
| 1559s | are about the numbers that you're going |
| 1560s | to get if you three checking at this |
| 1562s | level on this level and we work that out |
| 1563s | because three ticking exists with mining |
| 1565s | already and help answers pref looking |
| 1568s | and three ticking and our stance on that |
| 1570s | I think one of the other things to |
| 1572s | consider as well is how it feels as a |
| 1573s | player to do it so if you're actually |
| 1575s | going to go for 200 million strength |
| 1577s | should you feel oh how do I go do this |
| 1580s | you're talking to vision oh you need to |
| 1581s | go make like 12 other accounts you need |
| 1583s | to get them to a certain level you need |
| 1584s | to play them all at once |
| 1586s | and that just feels wrong that that is |
| 1588s | the way to do it and especially because |
| 1590s | if the developer did try to put a limit |
| 1592s | on the number and it just didn't do the |
| 1594s | desired effect that more also lends |
| 1596s | itself to more in the nature of a bug |
| 1598s | then a design thing I mean you know you |
| 1602s | don't want to encourage someone to have |
| 1603s | to make multiple accounts and other |
| 1604s | benefits to alts but it's you can't have |
| 1608s | to feel where the line is you know yeah |
| 1609s | for sure I think yeah that's that's |
| 1611s | probably gotta be at the center point of |
| 1613s | any philosophy behind gay making |
| 1615s | decisions is what's just what's a good |
| 1617s | game play and what's bad game play |
| 1618s | try to avoid the bad game play you know |
| 1621s | cause hopefully that answers the |
| 1623s | question what it's worth well I'm not |
| 1625s | fond of three taking existing as a |
| 1627s | mechanic the faculty already did and was |
| 1632s | expected means that we have not if we |
| 1636s | just if we decided to redesign the game |
| 1638s | to not have it now that is a huge change |
| 1642s | it's something that people are well |
| 1646s | doing and putting a lot of effort into |
| 1647s | I'm afraid that's not a change for |
| 1649s | offering it this time for those who want |
| 1651s | it changed and for those who are very |
| 1653s | happily doing it off you go yeah you'll |
| 1656s | note that what we try to do nowadays as |
| 1659s | well specifically when we do any even |
| 1661s | even updates like this automation |
| 1662s | software thank you don't thank me |
| 1664s | we try and have it so that most methods |
| 1667s | that are new or even existing that we |
| 1669s | tweak that it's a bit more obvious that |
| 1672s | if you do this you will get more XP |
| 1674s | react than this so the best one is |
| 1678s | always you know automate automation as |
| 1680s | the easiest one to explain cuz it's like |
| 1681s | hey you can do now lunar plank mate |
| 1684s | automatically it takes you know about |
| 1686s | you know next forty percent of the time |
| 1688s | or you do it manually so it's more |
| 1690s | effort that's easier to explain to a new |
| 1692s | player than it is to say well if you |
| 1693s | slightly you know start to make this tar |
| 1695s | the animation cancel does something with |
| 1697s | a ticks system on the back end not 0.6 |
| 1699s | second |
| 1699s | you know system old school runescape |
| 1701s | that lets you actually start the action |
| 1702s | earlier so yet my it's like it's harder |
| 1707s | to talk about related from the chat o.o |
| 1709s | srs max in suggests that farming |
| 1712s | contracts are a bit too jens for the |
| 1713s | seeds i believe you guys have been |
| 1715s | actually looking at that actually and |
| 1717s | then we did miss one out there didn't we |
| 1719s | is that coming with this on data so I |
| 1722s | don't think it's cleared testing yet but |
| 1725s | perhaps you'd like to talk about what |
| 1726s | you were doing |
| 1726s | yeah sorry first what these do what for |
| 1730s | how we've done it or I got you |
| 1732s | what you did why I saw you talking to |
| 1733s | each other for quite a lot about it when |
| 1734s | you were programming the thing sure this |
| 1736s | was a long time ago when we were looking |
| 1739s | at redesigning it and the eighth I think |
| 1741s | the premise that we looked at was |
| 1742s | changing it based on the time that it |
| 1744s | took for the thing to grow as well as |
| 1746s | well as the difficulties and now there's |
| 1748s | five tiers so you can have a short a |
| 1751s | medium and a long seed as well as it |
| 1754s | takes into account an easy medium or |
| 1756s | hard seed and depending on whether it's |
| 1758s | easy hard medium hard or whichever you |
| 1761s | get a tier between one and five and it |
| 1764s | has a reduced rate of seats on the lower |
| 1766s | tiers as well as a slight decrease in |
| 1768s | rarity as well yeah |
| 1770s | and we've also rebalanced the amount of |
| 1772s | seed you get so I think it was it was |
| 1776s | said it's for a big one it's there's a |
| 1779s | significant number of Eretz that were |
| 1780s | coming into the game especially |
| 1782s | considering they are really easy |
| 1783s | secondary to get for ironman accounts I |
| 1786s | know though a lot of people have said |
| 1787s | that it's almost doubled the herblore |
| 1790s | efficient herb low rate and that's |
| 1792s | probably because of it because there is |
| 1793s | no secondary time going into it and |
| 1795s | because it's such a question you |
| 1797s | literally can't run out of seeds to farm |
| 1798s | these days so yeah but long and short of |
| 1801s | that is that an easy contract will have |
| 1804s | short to long one two three sort of |
| 1806s | value on the seed packs medium will be |
| 1808s | two three four and then hard contracts |
| 1812s | will be three four five and that's like |
| 1813s | the value of the CPAC you're getting and |
| 1816s | you know about you three CPAC whether |
| 1818s | it's from a easy contract that was a |
| 1820s | longer contract to do compared to a |
| 1823s | medium contract that was middle things |
| 1825s | to do is the same one essentially it's |
| 1827s | it's mainly it's not as bad as it might |
| 1831s | be coming out it's not as big of a nerf |
| 1833s | is what it might sound it's more about |
| 1835s | redistribute what is classed as a hard |
| 1838s | and what is classed as an easy right |
| 1840s | because what currently classes are hard |
| 1841s | right now is just essentially based on |
| 1843s | level and doesn't really take into |
| 1845s | account growth time and we're just |
| 1848s | trying to have a system that |
| 1848s | accommodates both which is what I think |
| 1851s | there is for distinction between things |
| 1852s | being hard and things being long the |
| 1854s | chair is discussing that I think they're |
| 1856s | confused as to what we're saying with |
| 1857s | the system with I mean I could always |
| 1859s | put infographic together if that would |
| 1861s | make it easier to explain once that goes |
| 1862s | out how it's going to work at Lee Beth I |
| 1865s | know that we've |
| 1866s | we have looked at the problem seeds more |
| 1869s | specifically like edits and said these |
| 1870s | are a specific problem reduce those and |
| 1872s | most of the satchel seeds you're getting |
| 1874s | are gonna be kind of the same if you're |
| 1878s | doing the longer contract especially |
| 1880s | like and we're leaving pre planting we |
| 1882s | think that's a really that's actually a |
| 1884s | fun thing when you when you go around |
| 1885s | your oh yeah I got five pre plants I |
| 1886s | wrote that felt rewarding satisfying |
| 1888s | yeah so we've left that in as a as a |
| 1890s | mechanic to do because that's part of |
| 1891s | the thing people enjoy about farming |
| 1893s | contracts I can't remember the top of my |
| 1895s | head where the time categories like how |
| 1897s | long it is for a short one versus how |
| 1898s | long is for a medium one I know that we |
| 1901s | did document that I just can't read book |
| 1902s | they all stopped my we're really bad at |
| 1903s | that sorry I just realized like we maybe |
| 1905s | should have probably started with some |
| 1906s | of those things yeah I hope that makes |
| 1908s | things look this topic is it was from |
| 1911s | the chats yeah yeah so we wouldn't have |
| 1914s | this we prepared this one yeah but there |
| 1916s | you go those are our current things in |
| 1919s | the pipeline of changes yeah excellent |
| 1925s | I'll move on to our next question then |
| 1927s | which is from the loris excellent name |
| 1930s | good name hmm very specific question |
| 1933s | they asked how we would feel about |
| 1936s | adding a barrel next to the flax patch |
| 1938s | on miscellanea that could be used to |
| 1940s | store a rake or a rake barrel quite or |
| 1945s | even a chest next to the gate that could |
| 1947s | store the tools needed for all favour |
| 1949s | gainey activities like a pick axe axe |
| 1951s | rake or fishing net very teleporter it's |
| 1955s | a very ring come on guys like that's |
| 1957s | just lazy lazy skip that one I mean we |
| 1960s | could make it when you click the barrel |
| 1963s | it takes away your stuff instead the |
| 1967s | rocks got them this is literally a bank |
| 1969s | up the stairs like wife you got working |
| 1975s | our battle anyway you're the king of |
| 1976s | Iraq their farming shop that's inside |
| 1979s | the market yeah why can't you just go |
| 1981s | over to the lumberjack going to give me |
| 1982s | your ax I'm your king |
| 1983s | you know just bring your to his forehead |
| 1986s | you know okay I will reply pass that one |
| 1992s | probably not a he's probably not got as |
| 1995s | good an ax as you do though okay Oh |
| 1997s | Queen yep |
| 1999s | um you would lose favor I think if you |
| 2007s | just took his tool every time you went |
| 2009s | there it seems well yeah that would |
| 2011s | balance it somewhat I guess no I mean |
| 2013s | he's kind of like his job is to |
| 2014s | endlessly chop logs and then you're like |
| 2016s | here let me take do have a shot you |
| 2018s | maybe he might get a cup of tea he might |
| 2019s | be pleased about the break you know that |
| 2021s | lumberjack endlessly swinging you know |
| 2023s | his arms you getting sore |
| 2024s | must have a pretty high strength level |
| 2026s | maybe if that's how that works if he's |
| 2027s | not stopped this lumberjack has his |
| 2030s | right arm there this big look to the |
| 2035s | dumbbells now yes should get out we have |
| 2039s | a different reference from Family Guy I |
| 2040s | think I'll only only gladiator asks well |
| 2051s | they say currently the drakes drop both |
| 2052s | noted and unloaded herbs having them |
| 2055s | dropped both kinds seems quite odd |
| 2057s | especially given that the noted variety |
| 2059s | sorry yeah especially given that the |
| 2061s | herb sack exists could we make it so |
| 2063s | that they only drop unnoted herbs so |
| 2065s | that the herb site can be used to |
| 2066s | collect them thanks I quite like that I |
| 2069s | was looking at the with some of the |
| 2072s | stuff that I've been doing with my |
| 2073s | project I've been looking at higher drop |
| 2074s | tables work and how people have coded |
| 2076s | them in the past it make things |
| 2077s | consistent and there is a piece of code |
| 2081s | that basically says go give me a useful |
| 2084s | herb and give me numbers of those and |
| 2087s | all those are noted and I'm going it's |
| 2089s | probably just that it's been two |
| 2090s | separate bits of code for that and I |
| 2092s | there's no reason I guess why I can't |
| 2094s | make a version of that for unnoted ones |
| 2096s | yeah that was my fault |
| 2099s | [Laughter] |
| 2103s | yeah we can do that yeah I think if we |
| 2106s | made a version of that code that gives |
| 2108s | it unnoted I mean I understand why it |
| 2110s | was there for things like Hydra and |
| 2112s | stuff because you know it's a it's a |
| 2113s | boss you want it to be noted supplies |
| 2115s | but for a monster that you're just easy |
| 2117s | but to going from and take your herps |
| 2119s | out with you yeah you know on a Hydra |
| 2121s | you're on a time scale to pick up all |
| 2122s | your herbs quickly before they spot and |
| 2124s | so maybe a bit annoying if you drop |
| 2125s | fifteen but a four thanks to my Drake's |
| 2130s | I guess that makes sense okay |
| 2133s | our next question is from lunch guy he |
| 2136s | says has anything come out of the |
| 2138s | discussion or suggestions for |
| 2139s | alternative rewards from song of the |
| 2141s | elves Chris Obama has had a mixed |
| 2144s | reception and there's definitely still |
| 2146s | room for more Krystal equipment and uses |
| 2149s | for the crystal shards may be crystal |
| 2150s | weapons would be appropriate I think I'm |
| 2154s | probably best placed to field this one |
| 2156s | on Ed's behalf you go through you well |
| 2162s | those play asking who the good-looking |
| 2163s | one in the center was so that's a very |
| 2165s | kind I saw some people complaining that |
| 2167s | the facial hair was gone |
| 2168s | someone said I looked like a dad I don't |
| 2169s | know what that means well it goes with a |
| 2175s | mother for making babies but Carol's |
| 2177s | right thanks yes so crystal equipment |
| 2182s | and armor and weapons crystal armor has |
| 2186s | had a whole like redesigned since we |
| 2188s | pitched it initially he's gone we've |
| 2189s | gone back to the drawing board it's now |
| 2191s | much less of a tank armor I think before |
| 2193s | the stats were very similar to just this |
| 2194s | year and that didn't seem right it was |
| 2199s | definitely not filling a niche like we |
| 2200s | wanted it to it's probably a bit too |
| 2202s | powerful so it's definitely more of a |
| 2205s | glass cannon type armor now looking at |
| 2207s | looking at it stats wise we've quite a |
| 2209s | nice boost and bonus for the crystal bow |
| 2212s | app so it's more of ranged armor these |
| 2213s | days and there's potentially space for |
| 2215s | making Mele or even mage versions at a |
| 2218s | later date but that's what crystal arm |
| 2219s | is looking like in terms of extra awards |
| 2222s | there's loads of stuff that we've added |
| 2224s | based on your feedback and suggestions |
| 2226s | we're going to have a blog out hopefully |
| 2228s | very soon within a fortnight I would say |
| 2231s | explaining what all of those are and |
| 2232s | then hopefully we'll be pulling them |
| 2233s | soon maybe even this month I'm gonna |
| 2237s | stop you a second I'm just gonna time |
| 2238s | out so I don't know why every sparing |
| 2241s | PvP all of a sudden probably somebody |
| 2242s | told somebody to you or something but |
| 2244s | real quick like we spoke about at the |
| 2246s | beginning but we reiterated now we have |
| 2249s | a blog coming out with PvP relatively |
| 2251s | soon actually rather could be soon |
| 2253s | hopefully by the end of the month yep |
| 2255s | talks about our cabal's that we had with |
| 2258s | players coming in literally have a |
| 2260s | meeting this Friday discussing some |
| 2262s | sizing of certain changes and stuff that |
| 2265s | we're looking |
| 2265s | for PvP as well if beat it's being |
| 2267s | worked on with sorry that it's not as |
| 2269s | visible to you guys right now but that |
| 2271s | we saw when we got that blog out there |
| 2272s | top pvp answer please continuous on the |
| 2275s | out sorry that will cover last man |
| 2276s | standing |
| 2277s | general pvp changes that came up from |
| 2278s | the focus groups and the bounty hunter |
| 2282s | rework like what's happening with that |
| 2283s | will all be covered yeah in terms of |
| 2286s | crystal equipment equipment we've come |
| 2288s | up with some stuff i don't want to give |
| 2289s | anything away at this point but there's |
| 2291s | definitely well ok so we're definitely |
| 2295s | we're pulling a crystal weapon at least |
| 2297s | one which looks very exciting but you'll |
| 2301s | hear about that soon basically in short |
| 2303s | yes we've thought about it a lot and |
| 2305s | come up with some exciting stuff you'll |
| 2307s | hear about it soon i'm gonna move on |
| 2310s | then so our next question is from |
| 2312s | cameras still like direct is fine honest |
| 2315s | question is from white brine they asked |
| 2319s | will there ever be a use for the rare |
| 2320s | fossils other than selling or dipping |
| 2323s | them in water to get some a little |
| 2324s | prayer XP for instance finishing that |
| 2327s | last part of the museum which is |
| 2328s | inaccessible mass hazard designed for |
| 2331s | that her rather cool sounding one from |
| 2333s | what I've seen of it unfortunately it's |
| 2336s | a fairly graphically intense wall as |
| 2338s | well and she doesn't have a graphics |
| 2340s | budget to achieve that one so far I hope |
| 2343s | you will be able to have it maybe in a |
| 2347s | slightly modified form that doesn't |
| 2348s | require quite so much artist so I'm |
| 2351s | dependent what else are the artists have |
| 2353s | to do but I do hope to see that done |
| 2355s | because literally good things have a use |
| 2358s | good to finish the museum thing and |
| 2361s | frankly just sounded quite fun I think |
| 2364s | we have mentioned that on stream before |
| 2365s | we've put in a blog yes so if I recall |
| 2369s | correctly tell me if I'm doing the |
| 2370s | design injustice here but it's the idea |
| 2372s | is that it's all that build your own |
| 2374s | boss idea whereby you use the fossils to |
| 2378s | construct this boss and based on the |
| 2379s | combinations that you use it will have |
| 2381s | different mechanics which sounds awesome |
| 2384s | I think there was also another idea |
| 2387s | possibly from mod rock if I'm not |
| 2390s | mistaken I don't want to do him a |
| 2393s | disservice here the bike I remember off |
| 2394s | the top my head exactly what that design |
| 2395s | was there was some talk of a poh build |
| 2398s | your own fossil |
| 2399s | whoo I don't know any details for that |
| 2401s | one of why you'd do it move it was just |
| 2403s | amazingly glorious because Messick thing |
| 2406s | or maybe you'd do something in your |
| 2408s | house with it and get XP from doing so |
| 2410s | I'm not sure the details I think he |
| 2411s | mentioned something about like create |
| 2413s | creating bone versions of the Slayer |
| 2415s | creatures that you can that was the |
| 2416s | temporary amount of time stir yep and |
| 2419s | stuff like that like different idea I |
| 2421s | remember yeah I think yeah I think you |
| 2423s | mentioned that one I think that was it |
| 2425s | yeah I think he was um four so you could |
| 2427s | face skeletal versions of Slayer |
| 2430s | creatures I think they would be quicker |
| 2433s | tasks so it would allow you to get |
| 2434s | through the tasks without having to |
| 2437s | cancel or skip or block obviously get |
| 2439s | less experience right yeah I think that |
| 2441s | was the idea she's also really nice él |
| 2445s | tomó 90 asks if we can make a make ex |
| 2449s | smithing interface similar to the recent |
| 2453s | goldsmithing quality of life update |
| 2454s | currently you left-click the anvil but |
| 2456s | have to right-click X to select how many |
| 2458s | items you want to smith it's it's on the |
| 2461s | list you were speaking about that the |
| 2462s | other day right it's doable but I'd have |
| 2464s | to look at the smithing code talk about |
| 2466s | what it took to do the called crafting |
| 2467s | one with the gold crafting one because |
| 2472s | there's so many items on the door |
| 2474s | graphing they'll have their own |
| 2476s | individual buttons so I had to go |
| 2477s | through all the code so they're in there |
| 2479s | relate to one button which relates to |
| 2481s | the make X for when you click how much |
| 2484s | you want to make but thankfully the |
| 2487s | system which crafts it was fine it was |
| 2489s | just there's so many buttons that be |
| 2491s | removed redone well that was only 30 |
| 2494s | buttons think about the real spitting |
| 2496s | interface that one's got like 200 I |
| 2499s | think out fun yeah we've only got about |
| 2502s | what 30 something cuz it just reuses |
| 2506s | them basically yeah because I don't yes |
| 2508s | by seeing what it needs for the metal in |
| 2510s | question this I know because I also have |
| 2512s | to rework I think the face a few years |
| 2514s | ago for something else is no excuse now |
| 2516s | mate oh okay well it's not the only |
| 2519s | thing we need from him but we did it for |
| 2522s | gold crafting we do expect to do it the |
| 2524s | sort of crafting and the anvil and the |
| 2527s | soul that was come up in this context as |
| 2528s | well though we can do something simpler |
| 2529s | for that just just don't be lazy far |
| 2531s | ahead |
| 2533s | we wanted to do it we have a lot that |
| 2535s | we're doing a province it's on the list |
| 2537s | also silver jewelry I think is also |
| 2539s | another thing that we popped on it's not |
| 2541s | it's not bug that it's only working for |
| 2542s | gold and not silver |
| 2543s | it's just they are separate interfaces |
| 2545s | so we did the one that most people use |
| 2547s | first well I think handles might have |
| 2550s | one in that context but it also at the |
| 2553s | time mod tied was relatively new to the |
| 2555s | team and needed a bit more practice on |
| 2557s | interface work so we picked one that |
| 2559s | wasn't massively complicated but would |
| 2562s | still be beneficial to players rather |
| 2564s | than sending him in the deep end on the |
| 2566s | anvil he's more experienced there don't |
| 2570s | a drop an anvil on someone if their |
| 2572s | first period of starting yeah possibly |
| 2579s | could do after I finished why I'm doing |
| 2580s | right now |
| 2580s | cool promises tweak once a week now yeah |
| 2589s | yeah where's that I'm gonna mod tide |
| 2591s | dare 79 reminding mod tide he said he'd |
| 2595s | do this after is next job I just it |
| 2597s | could be a very very long time in the |
| 2598s | skin of universe yes yeah we're gonna |
| 2600s | get that every single time on the QA |
| 2602s | stream now has he done it yet you know |
| 2604s | our next question is from C Oracle and I |
| 2608s | really like the suggestion so they asked |
| 2611s | for our thoughts on a unified minigame |
| 2613s | shop so because some minigames are more |
| 2616s | fun than others players would be able to |
| 2619s | unlock minigame content from any they |
| 2621s | choose to play the current rewards when |
| 2622s | added to the global shop should be |
| 2624s | balanced around hours needed to obtain |
| 2625s | them to further breathe life into the |
| 2627s | minigames what about introducing a |
| 2629s | weekly rotation where one minigame is |
| 2631s | chosen to give bonus rewards during that |
| 2633s | week you know technically we've had |
| 2635s | that's past a poll has it not uniform |
| 2639s | the shop was going to require currency |
| 2641s | from each of them rather writing you |
| 2643s | something well what this players asking |
| 2646s | that always to be able to avoid say |
| 2648s | barbarian assault but just playing |
| 2650s | Castle Wars a lot and then buy the |
| 2651s | barbarian assault reward all right I |
| 2660s | think know you've probably right I |
| 2662s | probably miss I think understood it well |
| 2664s | let's try it again shall we |
| 2665s | he's probably I think all right |
| 2667s | thinking about it okay yeah but it may |
| 2669s | have been not as exciting if we don't |
| 2671s | like that idea what about a universal |
| 2673s | minigame shop that doesn't offer rewards |
| 2675s | that the ones can't you know each |
| 2677s | individual minigame currently has |
| 2678s | uniquely but instead rewards you for |
| 2680s | playing minigames on a weekly rotation |
| 2682s | so the past wasn't the problem that just |
| 2686s | they couldn't come up with rewards for |
| 2687s | it like we pitched rewards and every |
| 2689s | single reward failed but the shop itself |
| 2691s | Pat's so what passed was a shop where |
| 2693s | you need some points from this video |
| 2695s | games points from that minigames points |
| 2697s | from the other minigame in whatever |
| 2698s | ratio we liked which would be used in |
| 2701s | this shop to get stuff that's in the |
| 2703s | shop the shop passed everything that we |
| 2705s | offered to put in it didn't pass now we |
| 2708s | could recently just offer different |
| 2709s | stuff to go in the shop we've got more |
| 2711s | artists these days we had in what 24 13 |
| 2714s | 14 so we can make more cosmetic rewards |
| 2717s | which might be appropriate for it and |
| 2721s | that said it just didn't seem to be a |
| 2723s | very hot topic so we let it go we could |
| 2726s | in theory have developed a shop with |
| 2728s | nothing in it and launched that in all |
| 2731s | the beautiful the whole promise I hope |
| 2733s | players on to upset by the lack of the |
| 2735s | empty shop so far yeah so I don't like |
| 2738s | the whole weekly rotation though and |
| 2740s | bonus points for doing it okay maybe if |
| 2742s | it's a new currency it kind of passed |
| 2744s | it's just that one currency but the |
| 2746s | problem you end up with is I want to do |
| 2748s | I want to get my Wojtek now but no one's |
| 2750s | doing pest control cuz it's not the |
| 2751s | weekly one when's the next one oh it's |
| 2753s | it's 6:00 a.m. now yeah damn so I guess |
| 2756s | I can't get void for six weeks or I have |
| 2758s | to try and it just feels ready you think |
| 2760s | you wouldn't do the pest control though |
| 2763s | well while it's not on rotation I think |
| 2765s | people still would if you if you do it |
| 2766s | when it's on double points |
| 2768s | like would you not wait for the double |
| 2769s | points I mean again if it's new credit I |
| 2770s | would only I would only apply the |
| 2772s | rotation bonus to this unique this this |
| 2775s | overarching shot rather than it maybe |
| 2778s | rather than the rewards at the time our |
| 2780s | players do like optimizing their |
| 2783s | optimizing their time and if you know |
| 2786s | that you could get more by doing it in |
| 2789s | this suite rather than that we can do |
| 2790s | that I do think that's the air sensitive |
| 2792s | people to go with the optimal one in the |
| 2794s | in the proposal that said with that |
| 2796s | question in the way that ash understood |
| 2799s | it in that sense |
| 2800s | absolutely I really wouldn't like the |
| 2802s | idea that somebody can just you know |
| 2804s | play some castle walls and then get a |
| 2805s | tosser |
| 2806s | no that may not be what the plan men |
| 2808s | beat sounded like if it was that that |
| 2810s | was meant I don't like that at all if in |
| 2813s | the time the topic of like the |
| 2814s | previously polled thing that we had |
| 2815s | where I was like a shared shop with |
| 2817s | currencies of all things yeah if people |
| 2819s | have rewards for that I'd love to look |
| 2821s | into them if people still want to do |
| 2823s | that but you know we've never found |
| 2825s | anything cause it that's good to hear |
| 2827s | outfit it's not something we've spent a |
| 2828s | lot of time pushing the but some there |
| 2831s | is appetite for cosmetics and they don't |
| 2833s | all have to come from treasure Trailz |
| 2835s | true it may you may not be enough to |
| 2838s | breathe life into certain minigames |
| 2840s | which would still require their owns or |
| 2843s | reworks and fixes but we are hoping to |
| 2845s | do a lot of that stuff I think well at |
| 2848s | the very least Last Man Standing is |
| 2850s | getting a lot of attention yes oh that's |
| 2851s | men standing trouble brewing Zoar |
| 2853s | springs to mind |
| 2854s | there are things we'd like to do with |
| 2856s | minigames like that fishing trawler as |
| 2857s | well could do with some changes you know |
| 2862s | I've got an idea about how to improve |
| 2863s | the dead click scenario when it's really |
| 2865s | busy in there might work but yeah all in |
| 2870s | all I like the idea of a big minigame |
| 2872s | overall and a bonus for participating at |
| 2875s | certain times or at least a shot for |
| 2876s | competing in minigames maybe I know |
| 2878s | maybe on a whole week and not a weekend |
| 2880s | though because I can see the person |
| 2881s | being like oh this is the weekend and |
| 2883s | I'm now working both shifts because I'm |
| 2885s | a university student I guess I'm phoning |
| 2886s | in sick for work which isn't good for |
| 2888s | the player anyway just so they can get |
| 2889s | the double points there's a lot of no |
| 2893s | please don't do that but I know people |
| 2894s | will do it within this company in fact |
| 2903s | that's what it is I'll wait for the week |
| 2905s | when it's odd not just you guys I'm sick |
| 2907s | this week I'm going to get my double |
| 2908s | points I just don't like the idea of |
| 2911s | artificially trying to push people to |
| 2912s | that game and and yeah I think it's an |
| 2917s | idea with potential I just think we have |
| 2918s | to be careful but things like that I |
| 2919s | thought I'm moving on double xp weekend |
| 2923s | it's the bit where they don't seem to |
| 2924s | want one of those it's arguable they |
| 2926s | wouldn't want one of these either yeah |
| 2929s | that's fair I'm gonna move on to some |
| 2931s | chat questions we have a few at the |
| 2933s | bottom here |
| 2934s | again if you want your questions asked |
| 2936s | at runescape in chat send them to Mike |
| 2938s | Bruno and get them added the first one |
| 2942s | is if there's an update on The Last Man |
| 2944s | Standing rework yes mod Rock has worked |
| 2946s | really hard on it we said at the |
| 2947s | beginning of the stream if you missed it |
| 2949s | there'll be a PvP blog out soon |
| 2951s | detailing all of the changes basically |
| 2953s | everything you guys wanted for Last Man |
| 2954s | Standing is gonna happen I hope well |
| 2958s | assuming it passes Paul and the usual |
| 2960s | process but that's looking really good |
| 2961s | somebody doesn't PK and doesn't leave |
| 2963s | like it I'm excited to try it the |
| 2966s | changes look really good it does that |
| 2967s | I'm one speaking to him and he's really |
| 2968s | passionate about it as well which I'm |
| 2970s | you know that's obviously going to help |
| 2971s | the design and the implementation a lot |
| 2973s | also the smaller change to what's one |
| 2977s | standing to make it to make a casual |
| 2979s | game start with four players bat one |
| 2980s | past perfect 67 |
| 2982s | what's interesting because that's the |
| 2984s | kind of thing I'd often to expect to get |
| 2986s | to be the victim of spikes protein so |
| 2990s | either players aren't feeling spiteful |
| 2991s | or hiding poll results Mazen makes an |
| 2993s | interesting difference I look forward to |
| 2995s | seeing where that one goes in the future |
| 2997s | yeah but I hope we can get that |
| 2999s | particular change in sooner or later |
| 3001s | it's not like it scraped by either it |
| 3002s | passed by a large margin so I was having |
| 3005s | to look through the code the other day |
| 3006s | to see how to go about doing it looked |
| 3009s | like it wouldn't be too hard our next |
| 3012s | chat question comes from clown and they |
| 3015s | asked if we can change the cap on |
| 3017s | ecumenical keys yes do we want to I'm |
| 3022s | not a different question I'm not |
| 3023s | particularly keen on that idea it's |
| 3026s | quite low and people would at least |
| 3029s | still have to visit the wilderness to |
| 3030s | get them in the first place yes it does |
| 3034s | you do get a boost for the wilderness |
| 3035s | theory which i think is maybe could that |
| 3038s | maybe that could be more generous I |
| 3039s | think one of the problems is that they |
| 3041s | get rarer the more keys you have and |
| 3043s | even though the diary lets you have more |
| 3045s | keys they're still getting substantially |
| 3047s | more rare that the diary bonus maybe if |
| 3048s | we removed the getting rarer part yep |
| 3051s | that could be and then you'd have to |
| 3052s | change the out value yes |
| 3054s | yes you would have changed like |
| 3055s | essentially they'd let us if we if it |
| 3059s | were made part of the question at least |
| 3061s | sure yeah because I think it's the |
| 3063s | ecumenical Keys it's the fact you have |
| 3065s | to go through that process that |
| 3067s | gives a lot of God Wars dungeon its |
| 3069s | value because it's an effort just to get |
| 3071s | there because of that exact reason |
| 3072s | and I'm sure that plays a role in the |
| 3074s | price of all the all the rewards and |
| 3077s | yeah my fault on this was yet removed |
| 3080s | the the scaling drop rate rather than |
| 3084s | the cap there's also a thing in that |
| 3086s | feels strange to me but you can't get a |
| 3088s | key on the same world unless there's |
| 3090s | been two minutes since you've got the |
| 3092s | last key or something like that but |
| 3093s | players intended to avoid people getting |
| 3095s | one dropping its getting another one at |
| 3097s | the higher rate doesn't this work very |
| 3099s | effectively and we can get rid of that |
| 3100s | spotters remove the scaling as far as I |
| 3102s | know players going for them know they |
| 3103s | can get round the spiders hopping to |
| 3104s | another world so it kind of world |
| 3106s | hopping was of course a lot less |
| 3108s | convenience in the earlier days because |
| 3109s | yeah there was a soar 30-second delay on |
| 3111s | it everybody people weren't world |
| 3113s | hopping us there obvious metaphor |
| 3114s | everything yeah yeah and at the very |
| 3116s | least streamlining that process so that |
| 3117s | people don't have to hop worlds or at |
| 3119s | least fixing the rare thing I think of |
| 3120s | that perhaps if we were taking away the |
| 3121s | skating this is part of the scale yes so |
| 3123s | yes and go as well |
| 3124s | yeah I'd also suggest that some the what |
| 3130s | was it the key sorry I was I had a |
| 3131s | different thought until that would came |
| 3132s | back again scaling you take away the |
| 3135s | scaling quantity haven't seized I think |
| 3138s | they're the one creature in there that |
| 3139s | doesn't do it yes and while that was |
| 3142s | originally cuz IV on C's had an entirely |
| 3143s | different unique selling point in the |
| 3145s | form of Bank noted and bars that's no |
| 3149s | longer unique to them yes so we could |
| 3152s | put those on as well yeah right part is |
| 3155s | the boss people want the ecumenical keys |
| 3156s | for is creado itself so they're they're |
| 3159s | not killing a be on cease to get into |
| 3160s | creado which is you know okay so it |
| 3164s | sounds like we'd be open to removing the |
| 3166s | scaling for the drop rate which makes |
| 3167s | them more rare for each one you have |
| 3169s | currently but probably wouldn't touch |
| 3170s | the cap our next question is from vids |
| 3175s | and they asked with the recent |
| 3177s | addressing of player concerns by a nerfs |
| 3180s | are there equal considerations for |
| 3182s | buffing certain training methods yes |
| 3186s | would you care to expand I wish to know |
| 3191s | what those things are a bit more like |
| 3193s | the issue is comparatively to like |
| 3196s | nerfing certain things there's a lot |
| 3199s | less people who |
| 3200s | and it's a lot harder to offer a buff |
| 3202s | sometimes right I find like nothing gets |
| 3206s | done because of integrity usually but |
| 3209s | buffing something arbitrarily just |
| 3211s | because we don't we thinking be higher |
| 3213s | higher not many people have American |
| 3215s | general consensus on what should and |
| 3216s | shouldn't be buffed like if there is |
| 3219s | something that every single ott of |
| 3221s | people want buffed or even just tweaked |
| 3223s | like it's not like I think the glove |
| 3225s | yours for example we could buff them |
| 3226s | like we can make love reals a little bit |
| 3228s | better I think we wanting to do that for |
| 3230s | a little while because it's a cool |
| 3231s | unique railing where they've got a |
| 3232s | recent buff with the oily pearl rod you |
| 3236s | know things like that |
| 3239s | content that we added at one point that |
| 3242s | we then just we could make better like |
| 3245s | we just we popped it in and it's kind of |
| 3247s | filler content now and it doesn't really |
| 3249s | contribute anything it does assist with |
| 3252s | you know like Ironman gem collection I |
| 3255s | think it helps a little bit with but |
| 3258s | like I mean there are better ways to get |
| 3261s | gems and I yeah raids absolutely yeah so |
| 3263s | many of them you can also sell chaos |
| 3267s | runes for taco and then go to the gem |
| 3268s | shop and that can get you a ton of gems |
| 3270s | as an area man I don't think that's a |
| 3271s | big concern for that it's just hard when |
| 3274s | you're buffing things as well as people |
| 3275s | it's like I saw somebody me amethyst |
| 3278s | better and it's like okay so you're |
| 3279s | saying make amethyst scoffs but we don't |
| 3281s | want that we don't the blob have even |
| 3282s | better than it already is right so what |
| 3284s | we didn't do the broad dot thing that |
| 3286s | would speak as the back of the chest |
| 3287s | yeah it's it's harder to justify buffing |
| 3290s | something then it is to justify noting |
| 3292s | things which sounds bad but it kind of |
| 3295s | makes sense I think there are areas that |
| 3297s | I could see reasonably wanting above |
| 3299s | just to fit better on like a curve of |
| 3301s | expedience rates as you go up I think |
| 3302s | the few things stand out with the |
| 3303s | rooftops valley is not all that much |
| 3306s | better than cannafest so people stick it |
| 3308s | cannafest and instead the graph is so |
| 3311s | it's it's a case of like should that be |
| 3313s | slightly better so it feels like more of |
| 3315s | a middle ground between that and Sears |
| 3316s | and then obviously when you do the diary |
| 3318s | this isn't a 90 if relic and Pollin of |
| 3322s | each were slightly better so that maybe |
| 3325s | slightly better than diary and it's hard |
| 3327s | to get the scaling so yeah I need awards |
| 3329s | but I think valleca has a sloth |
| 3331s | benefiting that you can keep the camera |
| 3333s | and still hit most of the things quite |
| 3337s | convenient |
| 3337s | it's about getting off balance right |
| 3339s | like we can buff pollen each and from an |
| 3342s | effeminate area but then I I would agree |
| 3345s | and I hope labeled as well you know the |
| 3346s | diary is a reward it's not a bad thing |
| 3349s | for that to give you know maybe in the |
| 3350s | middle of those two maybe just under you |
| 3353s | know relic or just under pollen these |
| 3355s | sake mmm |
| 3356s | well we can we have to talk about that |
| 3358s | as well and what we could do is put an |
| 3359s | equivalent daily reward to the desert |
| 3360s | Diaries and the Femina Diaries so that |
| 3362s | maybe the boots |
| 3363s | teleport you right to the egg so you |
| 3364s | don't have that little run across maybe |
| 3366s | that's the slight buff it needs maybe |
| 3368s | there's something on the desert to get |
| 3369s | you to I don't know like I just thinking |
| 3371s | ideas like that because at least you're |
| 3374s | doing one course from its sixty to |
| 3376s | ninety that feels boring enough on a |
| 3378s | skill that's already a bit boring as a |
| 3383s | general rule like we're applying to said |
| 3387s | of mine if if something isn't matching |
| 3390s | or at least close to the polled XP rate |
| 3393s | if it's way under we would look to |
| 3396s | increase it and for everything else is |
| 3398s | probably in a similar way just a |
| 3400s | case-by-case basis looking at is this |
| 3402s | right for the game well it's one me it's |
| 3407s | a six I only needed to cover before we |
| 3409s | don't believe so yeah we are just about |
| 3412s | on the hour so I'll do quick reminders |
| 3414s | just more marketing team about anything |
| 3418s | not this week really cool um that I'm |
| 3421s | wearing |
| 3421s | yes so for anyone who doesn't know we've |
| 3423s | got the PvP blog coming out in a couple |
| 3425s | of weeks that's gonna cover all the PvP |
| 3429s | changes that we intend to do including |
