93s | some new content that we think will help |

97s | with our partners in the gaming industry |

100s | blog and hit the pole boosting game we |

128s | knocked over start look sober you fancy |
130s | coming to the pleasant |
131s | scenes of Farnborough |
133s | estimation walkthrough fast cool I'll |
136s | crack on with some questions so we've |
138s | got lots of normal game related |
139s | questions but first of all a good |
141s | question about account security and then |
142s | I've got a lot of questions about |
143s | partnerships so I'll deal with those |
145s | first apologies if it seems like a bit |
148s | of a monologue because of the nature of |
149s | the questions I've had to go to others |
151s | for answers so you'll be hearing a lot |
153s | of my voice for a little while and not |
155s | enough of their voices that will make up |
158s | for that later on when it'll be all them |
160s | I will begin first of account security |
164s | this isn't from any one question it's |
167s | more seeing a lot of people asking this |
168s | question what are you actually going to |
170s | do with account security the blog wasn't |
172s | clear so in terms of actual tangible |
175s | results from the blog we're going to be |
178s | giving you Webb two-factor |
179s | authentication we're going to be giving |
181s | you stronger password options we're |
183s | going to give you notifications and |
184s | suspicious activity on your account and |
186s | it will also be a way to set kind of |
188s | account status changes internally for us |
190s | which then lets us take more action |
192s | widely for people with accounts are |
194s | compromised or lapsed just to make sure |
196s | we can look after your account if you |
198s | haven't been logging in for a while |
199s | that's the long side doing investigating |
203s | authenticated its removal delay the |
205s | reason why were investigating and not |
206s | just doing it is because all of these |
208s | things I've just mentioned |
209s | should stop you being hijacked in the |
211s | first instance which then removes the |
213s | need for a delay but despite |
215s | implementing the four things I just told |
216s | you about we are still investigating the |
218s | delay self we will share that as soon as |
221s | we have results I we don't enjoy being |
224s | like targeted with questions about the |
227s | delay we want to give you the answer |
228s | assumes we have it |
229s | so hopefully that summarizes what we're |
231s | doing with security which is actually |
233s | quite a lot just not yet and we're sorry |
235s | about that but we're doing it as quick |
236s | as you can |
238s | pub chips lots of questions a crack on |
243s | can you rephrase the partnership poll |
245s | questions |
245s | currently someone who has not read the |
247s | blog will think they're voting on |
248s | cosmetics only when they are really |
249s | voting for cosmetics initially a lot |
251s | behind a partnership program so it |
253s | wasn't our intention to be ambiguous the |
255s | text in the blog was always going to be |
257s | at the top of the poll but your feedback |
258s | has been implemented so now you know |
260s | exactly what you're voting for it |
261s | explicitly states that it will first be |
263s | by a partnership and then made the bait |
265s | with everybody |
266s | a big one why should we trust you what |
270s | if his passes and management sees |
271s | profits and partnerships and presses you |
273s | to follow us with more cosmetic things |
274s | or non cosmetic things basically we've |
277s | got assurance from every level through |
279s | the business that this won't be the case |
281s | you talk about what if management sees |
283s | profits well we've got very far a |
285s | forecasting we expect to see profits and |
287s | in spite of that profits we're still |
289s | being allowed to pull it they're |
292s | perfectly aware that if this stuff fails |
293s | then we won't do the partnership so |
295s | we've got we've got trust in everybody |
298s | at jagex to support us that's what |
299s | old-school and that's why you should |
301s | trust us we've gone out with promises |
303s | which are cosmetic only would always be |
305s | polled that kind of thing |
306s | basically what we're really asking with |
308s | the poll is we were identified a good |
310s | opportunity with the partnership we |
312s | think we can implement it without |
313s | damaging old school do you want us to do |
316s | that and I can't think of any other |
318s | company that would say hey we can make |
320s | lots of money here shall we do it but |
322s | ultimately it's your vote Paula Paul |
325s | public is open now you can't go in and |
327s | say I have a concern that's which free |
331s | membership may have brought in a lot of |
332s | new players but it also gave Bop farmers |
334s | away to get an effectively unlimited |
336s | number of bot accounts my concern is |
338s | that additional partnerships are |
339s | bringing more bots of and new players |
341s | how would Jagex is sure of any free |
343s | memberships are not abused by pot |
344s | farmers very valid concern we saw when |
346s | RS 3 had their recent partnership |
348s | membership promotion that had a knock-on |
350s | effect of old school particularly around |
352s | feeling bots especially black master |
355s | farmers and stuff so what we'll do is |
356s | the short bare allocation lightly |
358s | cheating resources to old school around |
359s | the time we offer more than worship |
361s | hoping a hold our hands up and save the |
362s | RS free partnership for membership we |
364s | didn't consider the knock-on effect |
366s | despite the fact that membership is |
367s | actually across the current lacrosse |
368s | game so we'll make sure we do have more |
371s | resource specifically for the time with |
372s | any membership promotion and we're also |
374s | going to explore additional points in |
376s | the bottle can't flow so we can stop |
377s | them getting to the point where it |
379s | really annoys you ok hopefully jagex and |
384s | communities have the same idea about the |
386s | additions fitting the art style of old |
387s | school some of the holiday event rewards |
389s | have had nothing to do with the old |
390s | school art style and then they cite |
391s | stuff like the birthday cake the egg |
394s | shell outfit with a clown outfit I think |
396s | largely we agree that |
399s | in terms of holiday rewards we've been a |
401s | bit silly we've always tried to be a bit |
403s | hysterical like historically rather |
404s | silly but we we've always taken your |
407s | feedback particularly around the |
408s | eggshell armor we know you weren't too |
410s | keen on that the stuff that's polled is |
413s | the stuff you're going to see there |
415s | won't be any surprises about like you |
418s | won't see any company logos and blazoned |
421s | everywhere so if you think the stuff in |
423s | the poll is fitting the bowler school |
424s | then I think we've done that quite well |
428s | what are you planning on doing to keep |
430s | customers in the game following the |
431s | partnership programs so I think this is |
433s | a kind of like multifaceted question |
435s | firstly alluding to the fact that |
437s | players think it's a slippery slope how |
439s | far we're going to go so we will not do |
441s | anything that will cause existing |
442s | players to leave we know you don't want |
444s | stores biowulf Cosmetics XP we were not |
448s | going to do that it says they're keeping |
450s | new players we're going to keep |
451s | releasing new like good new content that |
454s | we carry I'm doing what would keep me |
458s | feeling safe with the state of the game |
459s | after visas are introduced |
461s | why should I renew my membership if the |
463s | MTX route is being taken already well |
466s | all we can do is put you some what's the |
468s | promises were made in a blog we've |
470s | promised that there will be made |
471s | available for free for all members at a |
473s | later date they'll fit old school it |
475s | won't impact your playing experience |
476s | you'll be pulled on the content they'll |
477s | be purely cosmetic and what we talked |
479s | about impacting playing experience who |
481s | wouldn't why don't try to get to |
485s | practice that we've chosen pH house |
487s | styles and skin colors and stuff because |
489s | the peerage house style nobody sees it |
491s | apart from you and people you inviting |
493s | at home the skin colors can be hidden by |
496s | armors it's very non bin non impactful |
498s | it sounds of why should we know your |
500s | membership it's because this is just a |
502s | tiny amount of obstacle content you |
504s | should renew because somebody else you |
506s | should renew for Last Man Standing or a |
507s | new for bounty hunter and we new for |
509s | everything rule announcer in fest ok |
513s | more questions you guys mentioned that |
516s | you had a great partnership with twitch |
517s | what can be done to have them work to |
519s | remove the phishing scams that pretend |
520s | to be Q&A streams or famous players |
522s | pretty good question so they are |
525s | continuing to work on stopping the |
526s | streams from appearing you can see |
527s | they're experimenting with verification |
528s | and what we've done in the meantime is |
532s | actually |
532s | our own system which gets the streams |
534s | taken down really really quickly I'm not |
536s | going to tell you about how we do it |
538s | because then they perhaps could avoid it |
539s | but I think it's been quite effective if |
541s | you do still happen to see it |
542s | particularly of impersonating other |
544s | players and kind of let us know runners |
546s | the the time it happens and who they're |
548s | impersonating and then we can refine |
550s | what we're doing to take them down |
553s | would you consider adding me promotional |
556s | Cosmetics as rewards to clues quest |
558s | Diaries minigames it shouldn't take a |
560s | significantly a long time to obtain but |
562s | it could be used to give lackluster |
563s | content a little boost so the issue is |
566s | then that the partnership is essentially |
568s | like a big advertising tool for us it |
570s | lets us get new players and to make it |
572s | appealing we need to make the content |
576s | appealing to the partner if little bit |
577s | suddenly saying someone needs to do the |
579s | quest whatever together it in the |
581s | partnership is lessened we won't get as |
583s | much coverage from the partnership it's |
586s | a second point which is the lackluster |
588s | content I think we should probably make |
590s | it not lackluster rather than just |
591s | stickiness on the end of it why it's an |
595s | option the vocal free membership |
597s | wouldn't be fair to let us know on every |
598s | promotional aspect not just Cosmetics |
600s | typically we're holding game content not |
603s | business decisions we're polling the |
604s | in-game cosmetic rewards but in terms of |
606s | the membership stuff we listen to |
607s | feedback like concerns about botting and |
610s | we're taking action accordingly nearly |
614s | there |
614s | few more to go this is probably quite a |
618s | good one Kanda team going forward please |
620s | consider that cosmetic items are |
621s | entirely as valuable as non cosmetics |
623s | we're a fashion skate bytom set selfie |
625s | huge amounts and rewards like collar |
627s | slayer helms look impressive and filled |
629s | earned please don't go overboard of your |
631s | partner awards in an RPG how you look is |
634s | half the achievement we completely agree |
636s | that's why I voted for content that not |
638s | many other players will see there's |
639s | nothing equippable being polled no pets |
641s | are being polled |
642s | that's not a coincidence that's our |
644s | choice we don't want to diminish any |
646s | sense of recognition we know our school |
648s | is a grind for achievements and we won't |
649s | undermine now |
653s | it's okay regarding the punch this blog |
656s | how long will normal players have to |
658s | wait for cosmetics so it's gonna vary |
660s | according to the partnership we'll make |
663s | sure it won't be long so the context the |
664s | purple skin it was made available the |
667s | very next day after it ended which was |
669s | the coincide with the game update so |
671s | we'll always press to make it as quick |
674s | as possible and lastly I've got would |
678s | you consider partnerships for events and |
680s | tournaments like runefest and Deadman |
681s | the answer is yes we're actively |
683s | pursuing them it's progressing really |
684s | well actually sense of this it's not |
687s | just a case of du Pont's it's for the |
689s | game and all events rather it's if we're |
692s | looking at both of these things we won't |
693s | poll should we sponsor an event Lord's |
695s | return iment but we will poll game |
698s | content and that is all the questions |
701s | I've got for partnerships I'm really |
702s | sorry glad to listen to my voice alone |
704s | for the last 17 minutes I will answer |
706s | more questions should you have them |
707s | during a stream a started a stream to at |
710s | Jagex Queen and I will move on with |
714s | other stuff and the main thing I will |
715s | emphasize before we move on it's just |
717s | like this is being pulled I mean and I |
721s | just wanted to ask you to ask yourself |
723s | as well like what other company would |
725s | let you you'd let you guys decide |
728s | whether you want to see this coming to |
730s | game |
730s | I mean we've pushed for that that's why |
732s | we're doing that so you get to say yes I |
736s | know and if you want to say no you have |
739s | that power I mean I think that it's the |
742s | power of old-school |
743s | right at its core everything we do in |
746s | game is pulled so that's what I just |
749s | really want to emphasize like I feel |
750s | it's really important to what we're |
752s | doing here yeah |
754s | so I think there's maybe the impression |
757s | that we're under pressure to do this |
758s | stuff we're not we've been we've got |
760s | people in the company who work on |
761s | partnerships and they've presented the |
765s | old school with an opportunity for |
766s | growth they've said what can you do we |
767s | said we don't know what we can do we've |
769s | got some ideas we'll ask the players |
771s | what they want if it goes no we won't do |
773s | it if it goes yes then maybe we can I |
776s | listen because those two ads will move |
779s | on with the game questions cool a good |
783s | one here I heard there's a good story |
784s | surrounding it why was the green pixel |
787s | remove the new construction icon so this |
791s | is great because after it happened |
794s | how did this happen who did this and we |
796s | went to check and we went all the way |
800s | back right to the start of old school |
802s | and it was never there since the |
805s | beginning of old school there has never |
807s | green been a green pixel on that icon so |
811s | yeah that was interesting so we don't |
814s | actually know how it appeared but we're |
817s | guessing that it's something to do with |
818s | the way the image was saved and when it |
821s | got resaved as part of an update |
822s | recently the green pixel got removed |
824s | because for core spray itself does not |
826s | have the green pixel there so what mod |
828s | matters actually had to go and do is |
830s | she's had to manually add a green pixel |
832s | to that icon now people yeah what she |
844s | hasn't told us she's hidden another one |
846s | somewhere yep |
847s | what if it's a slightly different green |
849s | that's coming back in tomorrow's game |
852s | update and I think so yeah okay so |
854s | apologies we'll have to wait until 11:30 |
857s | a.m. tomorrow you'll have the green |
858s | pixel back okay for for first dungeon |
862s | will the pages for the free tattered |
864s | tomes 12 in total be dropped by all |
866s | NPC's in the dungeon or will spiders |
868s | only drop pages for book 1 corrosive |
871s | pages of book 2 red dragons pages for |
873s | book free for example no they're |
877s | currently all dropped from everything |
878s | one thing I have done to try and make |
880s | that as nice to collect as possible is |
882s | it will try and balance out which page |
884s | is giving you based on how many you've |
886s | added to the tome how many you've got |
887s | your inventory I can't really make it go |
889s | by if you haven't picked it up on the |
890s | ground similar to like dark totems and |
892s | stuff but what you'll find out is that |
894s | you're not going to end up with 12 of |
895s | one page and one of the other and unable |
897s | to complete the mini quest as part of |
899s | that it's I think it just makes it a bit |
902s | nicer the pages will still drop after |
904s | the mini quest as well there's a reward |
905s | for doing it where you can hand them in |
907s | for 1,000 coins a page the library it's |
909s | not a lot of gold it just because the |
911s | theme of the dungeon is incentivizing a |
913s | player to stay there and camp there for |
914s | a while doing activities it makes sense |
917s | to have this sort of stackable thing |
918s | that they can choose to collect if they |
920s | want |
920s | yeah I also didn't want people to feel |
923s | forced into going to oh I want the red |
926s | dragon pages but I can't find a red |
928s | dragon world's because people are doing |
929s | for another activity it just it kind of |
931s | spreads people out in the dungeon to |
932s | kind of do what they want then cool |
935s | that's good I've just seen an attack on |
936s | that book be stored in the player house |
938s | yes it can be cool essentially when you |
941s | complete the mini quest it's it's it's |
942s | on it's on the list when you click them |
943s | any quest no sorry when you return that |
945s | book to the ghost yeah that book will |
947s | then be able to be view claim from the |
948s | house and you can also just go to the |
949s | library in the UM in the actual dungeon |
952s | itself the available for tracking your |
954s | pages are stored in the player not on |
955s | the book so when you go in even if you |
957s | hand it in you can still go back and |
958s | read it okay I on the topic of the four |
961s | first dungeon the track you heard at the |
962s | start of the stream is coming with |
964s | tomorrow's update and we're also going |
966s | to be joined by mods so much later on |
969s | we'll give you another track and we'll |
971s | talk a bit more about for us later on |
972s | what Huskies update so he'll give you |
974s | some more insight questions free and I |
978s | didn't realize ed yeah I mean I knew |
980s | you'd be on the stream but I think I've |
981s | asked you this so many times now so I |
983s | apologize when will winter todd we |
985s | looked at as it stands winter Todd |
986s | punishes high leveled accounts while |
988s | rewarding low loved accounts which makes |
989s | no sense in a survival minigame |
991s | previously you have pitched a warmth |
993s | system rather than going by levels which |
997s | has always been received well just a |
998s | matter of when we prioritize it so I |
1001s | don't have an answer for when we'll look |
1002s | at it it's probably worth yeah |
1006s | revisiting soon we've one of the |
1009s | meetings as part of that one of the |
1011s | teams that were looking at what we're |
1012s | gonna put forward Nepal we actually came |
1014s | up in discussion look to that job and |
1015s | said are we actually wanting to do this |
1017s | is this something we want to poll |
1018s | obviously we have to look at the size of |
1019s | the job and don't take on too many big |
1020s | jobs and appalled at once and play that |
1022s | but um the discussion came back that we |
1024s | weren't exactly sure how it would be |
1026s | implemented is it your own food that |
1027s | feeds your warmth is it a special food |
1028s | in theirs at the potions and it came to |
1031s | the fact that yes we'd really like to do |
1032s | that but there's a bit of design work |
1034s | where we want to come to an agreement on |
1035s | exactly how that's implemented okay I |
1037s | think this might be my fault I sound |
1038s | here like maybe a year or so and and |
1042s | came up with the idea on the spot on the |
1044s | stream so yeah we probably think about |
1046s | what it actually is but yeah there's |
1048s | been a bit more of focus on fixing up |
1050s | some old content and it's not the oldest |
1052s | thing in the world but it's probably old |
1053s | enough now |
1054s | it can have another look at it I'm not a |
1056s | big fan of how it works with lower |
1058s | levels I think we should murder more |
1059s | level freeze okay so it won't be in the |
1063s | next poll but perhaps we can get a |
1065s | design work in the meantime and then get |
1067s | it into poll following that okay are |
1070s | there plans for continuing a white |
1071s | knight / witch Haven quest series in old |
1073s | school |
1073s | what about devious Minds as a follow-up |
1077s | question I want to continue them all at |
1079s | some point like just about finished of |
1082s | elves should we move on to next so we |
1084s | interested in knowing that people |
1085s | actually want us to work on story-wise |
1088s | devious Minds an interesting on because |
1090s | although it doesn't seem like it does |
1091s | actually well I say didn't seem like |
1094s | anyone who's played the quests in |
1095s | runescape free will actually know but it |
1097s | does actually feature into another big |
1098s | storyline it's just not obvious at the |
1100s | start so actually manifest wharves |
1103s | faerie queene sheeps the fairies of you |
1106s | could only get those arcs out of the |
1108s | house the nars have been my life is |
1110s | really interesting because you can dig |
1111s | so much traffic like it doesn't even |
1113s | have to be just progression right you |
1114s | can do so many little like individual |
1116s | one-off missions yeah the first one it's |
1120s | about I forget his name the Dark Mage |
1122s | who's a who's being a bit naughty mnv |
1125s | next one is about something about slugs |
1126s | it's completely different so yeah the |
1127s | third one could be about something |
1129s | completely different again but I do |
1131s | think it was probably best to deal of |
1132s | those slugs first probably not with a |
1134s | pillar this time but yeah cool |
1139s | so we asked hitters of his question kind |
1143s | of regularly but people always tend to |
1145s | rephrase the question and understand me |
1148s | they might not realize they're doing so |
1149s | is it possible to change the treasure |
1151s | chests so plays for the store separate |
1153s | parts of any set maybe with the design |
1155s | of the achievement log currently you are |
1158s | for example able to store separate parts |
1159s | of the trim monk's robe the sandwich |
1161s | lady set |
1162s | bein able to store a separate parts of |
1163s | other types of sets yeah I would like it |
1168s | yeah I can speak because I actually |
1170s | asked Ashe about that not long after I |
1172s | started the company yet so no I've seen |
1174s | that come up quite a few times it's a |
1176s | very tricky job that could result in |
1179s | item loss is kind of the biggest thing |
1181s | essentially we have a way of saying yes |
1183s | you have the set but we have to make |
1185s | sure that on login that would turn into |
1187s | I have the helmet I have the chest I |
1189s | have the was it legs or skirt because |
1191s | that changes and the kite shield and |
1193s | because so essentially is an Iron Man |
1195s | update nobody can say it isn't any |
1198s | normal character by it so anyone who has |
1201s | those items potentially had to go |
1202s | through a lot of effort to get them or |
1203s | will have to go through a lot of effort |
1205s | if we lose them so it's just kind of a |
1208s | high risk update and that's kind of |
1212s | where we are right now I don't think |
1213s | we're in a position where we can do it |
1215s | but I know that you know it is something |
1217s | we're aware that the players would like |
1218s | the stuff like which type of cape have |
1221s | you got in there which which legs it was |
1224s | it the legs of the skirt like all that's |
1226s | tracked so weirdly it's actually quite |
1228s | difficult to follow as well but yeah |
1231s | it's quite a big one and one needs |
1233s | substantial testing so it's never quite |
1236s | been prioritized to be done really no |
1239s | hey question along the same vein can it |
1243s | be some can we add some consistency |
1245s | about which combined items you can add |
1246s | to the treasure chest currently you can |
1248s | store some combined item such as the |
1249s | beret mask covered a camellia mask top a |
1253s | monocle white hat and specs but you |
1255s | can't store item such as to how eyepatch |
1257s | pirate hat and patch double eyepatch and |
1259s | any items with ornament kits attached |
1262s | related the same issue was it something |
1264s | different |
1266s | individually okay so we need to know |
1268s | which ones yeah okay cool easy how often |
1274s | are the dev team doing under the hood |
1276s | changes basically we rewrite the content |
1278s | an example is how Kieran rewrote the |
1281s | entire cooking skill to allow for left |
1283s | click make all optional ranges when this |
1285s | happens this is done mostly because some |
1287s | unexpected problems arose or does it |
1288s | happen that the primary goal is to |
1290s | rewrite hex piece of code just so it's |
1292s | nicer to work with in future it's a bit |
1295s | of both |
1295s | I mean feeds and everything there's a |
1297s | lot of benefits drops you'll be writing |
1298s | code for future maintenance future |
1301s | support but also sometimes it's |
1303s | basically necessary for what you're |
1304s | doing in the way of the example the |
1308s | cooking one we had to add left click |
1311s | cook on to the ranges and basically if I |
1316s | was to do it without rewriting it I |
1318s | would have made the code |
1320s | worse and I've had duplicated a lot of |
1322s | stuff across using items on the range |
1325s | and left like in the range they would be |
1328s | completely separate code so I had to do |
1331s | something bigger but now when he comes |
1334s | to writing a new item that can be |
1337s | roasted it's obviously a lot more |
1341s | straightforward the other point is this |
1346s | games regatta for a lot of years and the |
1348s | number of years in the future that seems |
1349s | probably very hard to date it's been |
1352s | taught since 2000-2001 old school itself |
1356s | is six years old now this code we write |
1358s | today is very likely gonna be looked at |
1360s | in ten years time and still be really |
1362s | important if we take that cheaper option |
1366s | every time that's gonna build over over |
1368s | ten years and all of a sudden we're |
1370s | gonna have problems and when it comes to |
1373s | do you want to add a warmth meet at a |
1375s | winter charge it might not be so |
1376s | straightforward as a random example |
1378s | similar was the construction one right |
1381s | it was written in such a way that it's |
1382s | actually now quite hard to go and deal |
1384s | with so it's not easy to do that update |
1386s | and we're struggling to find an ability |
1388s | to do it yeah so it is I think it's |
1391s | really important and the way we approach |
1393s | it of I mean the whole dev team |
1395s | basically has a strategy of if you rinse |
1398s | some old code it's a really good |
1400s | opportunity to take the time to improve |
1402s | it and it's really important for the |
1404s | longevity of longevity of this game and |
1406s | the ability for us to deliver updates |
1408s | frequently yeah and I had something on |
1411s | those lines with a multi combat recently |
1414s | I wanted to first song elves actually |
1416s | for a section of a quest so it's only |
1417s | multi combat in certain situations |
1419s | rather than all the time and |
1421s | unfortunately a former developer had |
1424s | wants to do something similar a couple |
1425s | of years ago and they decided to plug in |
1428s | this exception into every single place |
1430s | that multi-car might happen so every |
1431s | single spell every single special attack |
1434s | all had a unique check for this one |
1438s | exception so when I did it I had to |
1440s | first of all go through and delete all |
1442s | of our exceptions and then centralize |
1444s | the system so that if a future developer |
1446s | came along wants to do it again we |
1448s | wouldn't have to edit 100 files or |
1450s | something you know you don't have to |
1451s | edit one with the exception |
1453s | or that what content was it for the |
1456s | exception in these spells it was just if |
1459s | if you're in this type of world combat |
1462s | if not it's only it's in the multi |
1464s | combat area yeah it was for a specific |
1467s | game type wherever it was to make the |
1468s | entire world multi combat and rather |
1470s | than making it centralized they're |
1472s | edited 100 files I always enjoy hearing |
1476s | you devs moan about |
1480s | it's like years ago and so on I like the |
1483s | for that and maybe in 10 years time some |
1485s | will be moaning about your work very |
1488s | likely but not about cooking or multi |
1490s | combat I mean I mean for example like in |
1494s | cooking like the fact that cooking on a |
1496s | fire was separate code to cooking on a |
1498s | range |
1499s | didn't the lumbridge range have |
1500s | completely separate so everything was |
1504s | there twice just from the laboratory and |
1506s | no cooking so when you make the little |
1508s | bulls and cocktails and all that was |
1511s | just completely separate again like no |
1513s | idea what so yeah ridiculous really but |
1519s | no it's all together well practically |
1521s | answers and the examples why is the king |
1524s | of all black dragons less rewarding than |
1526s | his lackeys of a brutal black dragon was |
1528s | his lackeys you would have kind of |
1531s | dragon lore guy what's the story there |
1536s | he's Lucky's we just need a brutal king |
1539s | black dragon there that has better loot |
1541s | yeah yeah I guess I guess what's the |
1543s | hierarchy of dragons weak he's the king |
1545s | black dragon he's in the willness he |
1546s | probably should drop more drops the |
1550s | dragon pick they I think the most |
1552s | important thing here is first we need to |
1553s | going to establish a proper hierarchy of |
1555s | a black dragons we do understand their |
1557s | society and from there we can work out |
1558s | who should be having the biggest drops |
1561s | realistically it's telling us the case |
1563s | of the king by dragons loot was |
1565s | untouched |
1565s | and then we added brutal black dragons |
1567s | and then it became better so we should |
1569s | revisit the drop label yeah can you make |
1572s | seagulls drop feathers no that's a |
1576s | massive integrity change we can't just |
1578s | do that I've heard they do have feathers |
1580s | in real life |
1583s | isn't isn't visa isn't it's actually a |
1585s | meme or something I swear to god this is |
1586s | like a news like years ago |
1588s | this is an ancient meme yeah I don't |
1593s | really care well well I think they do |
1598s | because they got so obsessed about the |
1600s | green pixel that was never actually |
1601s | there but we actually had to we had to |
1603s | break some content was actually not |
1605s | broken so we should be really actually |
1607s | probably quite careful of the seagulls |
1610s | what's going to happen the dead man how |
1612s | long would a break be and this is quite |
1614s | relevant his last weekend this is gone |
1618s | we had what is the last of a Deadman |
1620s | event for the foreseeable future I was |
1622s | really pleased at how it went |
1623s | it's probably this movie statement we've |
1624s | had which is unfortunate in a way that |
1627s | it was the last one but equally you'd |
1629s | want it to be this movie as one it was |
1630s | the last one so we ended on a high but |
1631s | put a time on it and I think that's |
1634s | what's important about having the brief |
1636s | like one of the big problems of dead one |
1637s | is that we had vestigial that we had to |
1639s | keep - so we're saying that like oh in |
1641s | the next three months we're gonna do |
1642s | another dead man and that it meant we |
1644s | never had time to properly make those |
1645s | changes because we were on such a tight |
1647s | schedule like as soon as one's finished |
1649s | we're working on the next one so I think |
1651s | the good thing is about like we haven't |
1654s | decided on a time yet that gives us the |
1655s | time to actually work out how long we |
1657s | need the other things going oh that jag |
1659s | is just recruited ahead of eSports just |
1662s | eyeing next week so yep next week even |
1664s | let's see oh that's amazing so the |
1666s | studio itself is gonna have a lot more |
1669s | knowledge and in this industry as a |
1670s | whole and how to best do this doesn't |
1674s | mean the head of eSports is gonna be the |
1675s | one coming into the game and developing |
1677s | content for eSports and coming up with |
1679s | exactly how that is but it means we've |
1681s | got the expertise to know how to run |
1683s | these events and how to best apply our |
1685s | game to this to this to this world I |
1688s | guess so yeah I mean there is no |
1691s | timeline right it's but it's something |
1693s | that we're gonna be thinking about over |
1694s | the coming months and maybe the next |
1696s | year when it's ready and we'd benefit |
1698s | from taking the time to make it right we |
1702s | some person in chat so three months |
1704s | should be enough time that's see if |
1705s | there are no other priorities and but we |
1707s | think as we got ongoing dev work to do |
1709s | that we've got to engage with the |
1710s | Deadman players and lots of people don't |
1712s | play dead man because one end blade - to |
1713s | get the design right we update every |
1715s | single week as |
1716s | always something going on yeah I wish |
1717s | free months of enough time but we're |
1720s | working on a game where we get |
1721s | developers come on and think it's okay |
1722s | to edit 100 files to change something in |
1724s | multi combats sometimes not always about |
1726s | quick and unfortunately I had to sort |
1729s | mud gambit spammed the straw poll |
1731s | what is the straw poll surprise we |
1736s | haven't seen this raw poll |
1737s | but there was one scrolled up and vote |
1739s | okay so this is concerning the recent |
1742s | wilderness lair update |
1744s | considering that L'Orange am I saying it |
1746s | right Loran skis with balance the sames |
1748s | cone ours and most mobs in the |
1750s | wilderness for balanced years ago with |
1751s | low combat and bad drop tables would you |
1754s | consider rebalancing the key loot or |
1755s | increasing the chance of a key emblems |
1757s | were a big moneymaker up a felling price |
1759s | the risk of wilderness lair doesn't |
1761s | outweigh the slight chance of loot all |
1763s | it needs is a few numbers tweaked needs |
1768s | ports I think these are some keys saying |
1770s | just a few numbers tweaked it makes it |
1772s | sound really easy but drop tables are |
1774s | really hard I had to go through that |
1776s | with Surat Nasiri cently and it's been |
1779s | up-down left-right had to get you know |
1782s | Kieran in to review it and things like |
1783s | that it's just really hard to get it |
1784s | right and it doesn't take much for a |
1786s | player of suddenly said that's |
1787s | overpowered I think we can look at it |
1790s | I've I think it's safe to say we can |
1793s | it's just getting the numbers to |
1794s | actually be like what's an average key |
1795s | worth what does it need to be |
1797s | what sort of supplies are appropriate to |
1800s | put on there I think the risk for it |
1803s | being in the wilderness kind of water in |
1805s | States it's not going to be something as |
1807s | heavily farmed like it doesn't matter if |
1810s | there's a certain type of resource that |
1811s | comes in a just leave the field like I |
1813s | mean the mean the main meaning behind |
1816s | the question is spawn there right like |
1817s | yeah if it's wilderness slay it ought to |
1819s | feel like you're getting rewarded for |
1821s | doing it so if you're not feeling like |
1824s | that then it probably warrants looking |
1826s | at it actually would have to be polled |
1828s | as well why I'm reluctant to do is say |
1830s | hey Chad this it women are powerful and |
1833s | then once it's in game make it more |
1834s | powerful I don't have to feel right I'd |
1836s | love to hear suggestions for potentially |
1837s | even a unique to add it to make it feel |
1839s | more special I know there was talk of |
1840s | have we've got the dusk Mystics actually |
1842s | we have the dawn one it's maybe not as |
1843s | exciting some other dusk mystic set |
1845s | isn't actually worth all that much even |
1846s | though it's rare from cone our justice |
1849s | so use mystic is so low but if players |
1851s | have ideas for a great unique that would |
1853s | fit for that then you know that's good |
1856s | so yeah letting us know your ideas okay |
1859s | thanks for that straw poll we're just |
1861s | checking the results now |
1862s | the answer's no feathers of white be |
1865s | added is going to drop to see girls drop |
1867s | single didn't hits them |
1869s | thank you for voting next up is a |
1872s | question about somebody else'll it's you |
1874s | let's use that as an opportunity to talk |
1875s | about the play test and perhaps even |
1876s | given a release date well crystal |
1879s | implements give clue scrolls and |
1881s | finalized the drop table yet so maybe |
1884s | it's fifty answer like we can get sided |
1887s | depends if we want to do that all other |
1889s | airplanes give clear schools that's |
1891s | specifically yeah I imagine that it will |
1893s | but yeah it's not being it's not being |
1895s | done yet cool okay tell us about the |
1897s | play test how did it go what the plays |
1899s | enjoy doing summer actually in the chat |
1901s | so if you'd like a little players I'm |
1902s | not going to try listening all their |
1904s | names but you mentioned most from |
1905s | earlier and if most we march at Vick and |
1907s | they can shout themselves out but yeah |
1909s | we had if he was we had twelve people in |
1911s | total a couple of days this week to a |
1913s | play through various new things that |
1916s | coming with some of Al so we had been |
1918s | play for the gauntlet of a new minigame |
1920s | we didn't play for it what are you |
1922s | laughing at all those guys Robert it was |
1925s | actually a lot more than talking about |
1926s | mean the whole chat was there we had to |
1930s | play through I've completely lost track |
1931s | I was your fault when their fault |
1933s | everyone's fault we had been playthrough |
1935s | Zell karnov a new skilling boss we we |
1938s | put them we even put them proven you a |
1940s | like puzzle that's coming in the quest |
1942s | my mama run around the city as well and |
1943s | there's got lots of feedback from them |
1945s | and it was really helpful like there's |
1947s | so many things that they switch |
1949s | information we gave us like there's a |
1950s | lot of things that he was a developer |
1953s | like maybe don't always consider like if |
1955s | you're they're developing the content |
1956s | from a ground up you start to think |
1958s | about in a very specific way and then |
1960s | someone comes in and suddenly plays it |
1961s | completely differently how you're |
1962s | expecting so it's always really useful |
1964s | to see more people playing and get their |
1965s | feedback and they seem to love a |
1967s | gauntlet like so gauntlet is a looking |
1970s | like it'll definitely a good win and got |
1971s | a bit few improvements to do on zalqara |
1973s | no to get her up there as well but it's |
1974s | looking really promising |
1975s | you said you couldn't get them to stop |
1977s | playing go on their struggle to do it |
1980s | I've done a few of these are like play |
1982s | tests now we've brought people |
1983s | and I've never seen anything quite like |
1985s | this one where you're doing wrong it was |
1988s | great it was brilliant but was saying |
1990s | like I couldn't get them out the |
1992s | gauntlet like every time I turn around |
1994s | I'd look back and someone had to jump |
1995s | back into the gauntlet again it was it |
1997s | was crazy so we must have done something |
1999s | right I saw a comment there was like I |
2002s | think said no gauntlet for ultimate |
2004s | Ironman I'm like I'm pretty sure we've |
2006s | made it so they can right yeah I mean |
2007s | you can go in sometimes you go in near |
2009s | go on that yeah people got quite |
2011s | competitive about that times as well yes |
2013s | the gauntlet so I think that's |
2016s | definitely Sevilla dried like there's |
2020s | not really that many like time-based |
2023s | pieces of content in old schools so I |
2024s | guess that that aspect of it is quite |
2026s | fresh and interesting I was guilty of |
2028s | following a few playtests just staying |
2030s | in the world on my lunch break just |
2031s | trying to see if I could do it I |
2033s | couldn't even do it my first two |
2035s | attempts I just didn't and I'd consider |
2038s | myself a fairly competent PBM her third |
2041s | or fourth attempt I was getting it down |
2042s | and just learning the strategies so so |
2043s | much fun okay for one more something |
2046s | else question before we give him the |
2047s | release date will I end man and main |
2049s | accounts be able to do Soekarno together |
2052s | yes they will |
2053s | yeah well okay would you like to tell |
2055s | them when somebody else is being |
2056s | released Oh should i yes so I think a |
2061s | few weeks ago we said it was gonna be |
2063s | coming late July and I can now confirm |
2065s | it's going to be the 25th of July not |
2069s | winter 2017 not winter 2017 or early |
2073s | August well I'm glad we managed to get |
2075s | in July because if it slips another week |
2077s | it's early August and I'm not on Wakana |
2079s | again 25th of July that's very soon it |
2082s | is it's quite soon so if I don't us |
2086s | enough for requirements yet make sure |
2087s | you get all the quest requirements |
2088s | because you need to have fully finished |
2090s | song avails to be able to access a city |
2091s | and all the fun new content in it |
2093s | I really like in the main development |
2095s | sprint yeah yes just saying like we |
2098s | haven't quite gotten to bouncing drop |
2100s | tables yet boy just about there like we |
2101s | just doing the finishing touches now |
2103s | implementing all the feedback we got |
2105s | from the players that came in and then |
2107s | do the bouncing and stuff like the quest |
2109s | is fully playable |
2110s | kion is actually behind a bit of it |
2111s | earlier and I don't know did you or did |
2114s | you enjoy it |
2115s | I'm enjoying it yeah |
2116s | gonna be good it's a good banter yeah |
2120s | yeah I would see something else is a |
2122s | massive update and I'm not sure you guys |
2124s | understand how big this is something |
2127s | else it's at the longest do you think |
2129s | it's the longest Grand Master we've done |
2130s | it stop there yeah like it's the longest |
2135s | project I've worked on and I worked on |
2137s | mobile like I've been working on this |
2139s | verb I've forgotten how long it's being |
2142s | that long I can't remember a time before |
2143s | I think I feel longest maybe that's |
2145s | rather the biggest in terms of yeah like |
2148s | the request is request is a similar |
2151s | scale to Dragon Slayer - it may be it |
2153s | may be a little bit longer I'm not sure |
2155s | really I haven't timed it but this is |
2158s | obviously got the entire city of proof |
2159s | as well which is what makes it so much |
2160s | bigger yeah and like that's a huge |
2164s | that's a huge addition and of itself |
2165s | let alone all the big features are there |
2168s | like the cordon that's a whopping |
2169s | feature by itself like full solo ppm |
2172s | sort of minigame a skilling boss like |
2175s | it's a massive update so you got a lot |
2177s | to look forward to if there's never been |
2179s | a better time I couldn't finish off the |
2180s | movies and to make sure you're ready for |
2181s | this and that's coming on the 25th of |
2184s | July I've seen someone ask wonderful |
2185s | stunt is coming out and that is tomorrow |
2187s | tomorrow we're also in the part of a |
2190s | test we also gave the play test an |
2192s | opportunity to play in The Last Man |
2194s | Standing rework some very positive |
2196s | feedback we should be in a position to |
2198s | roll about that baits are publicly quite |
2200s | soon maybe as soon as next week but |
2202s | we'll keep you informed their aim was |
2206s | for next week yeah the plan is but after |
2210s | that the week after that will be an off |
2211s | week so that'll be the 18th the week |
2214s | prior to something else will be no |
2217s | update because we want to make sure we |
2219s | could dedicate some focus to really make |
2221s | sure that some of the others were ready |
2223s | for its launch |
2224s | so yeah off week you mean there's no |
2226s | game update then yeah so actually I say |
2229s | no game update that service will still |
2231s | be rebooted because there's actually a |
2233s | new there's the new engine race going |
2235s | yet so there's some stuff we need a |
2236s | handle technically but there's no new |
2238s | there's no new content going up that |
2240s | week okay so in terms of aligning |
2242s | players can expect for us tomorrow |
2243s | possibly the public last-man-standing |
2245s | beta next week no game content but the |
2248s | engine update on the |
2250s | 18th and something else on 25th sweet oh |
2253s | yeah yeah so we're about just over two |
2256s | thirds of the way into the stream I |

2322s | get the track set up and Muslim against |
2323s | Mike start I'll ask another question |
2326s | track explain let's listen to the track |
2331s | so what is this song how would I want |
2334s | one will they see it hear it over |
2338s | [Music] |
2344s | we'll listen first |
2350s | [Music] |
2376s | [Applause] |
2377s | [Music] |
2382s | [Applause] |
2386s | boom my entrance II yes so that's the |
2392s | track for the boss battle and in the new |
2394s | dungeon I can't pronounce the name |
2397s | against Iraq Ness the rockness I would |
2399s | have difficulty pronouncing boss names |
2400s | in the bottom has an interesting story |
2402s | actually see at CM once asked how did |
2404s | you come up with serratus it sounds cool |
2405s | and I'm like what a rack for spider |
2407s | decided to start with an S and then just |
2409s | put some letters on til it sounded cool |
2412s | people said doesn't got an order change |
2414s | they got a thing like nope just just |
2416s | took that and made it cool names are |
2418s | always oh oh always translations from |
2421s | other languages |
2423s | that's the keyboard in that case it was |
2428s | the battery had a far too long on a boss |
2432s | name yet so me about was fee that was |
2436s | the truck for the boss and I didn't |
2439s | notice in the chat before the stream |
2441s | started some of you notice that there |
2442s | was another peep another new piece of |
2444s | music just playing and that is also |
2446s | gonna be appearing in the in the dungeon |
2449s | and so myself and Michael ski we before |
2453s | we probably started V the music for |
2456s | obvious piece of content we decided that |
2457s | we wanted to conduct a very kind of |
2460s | spiritual aged ancient theorem for |
2462s | football dungeon itself then of course |
2464s | the only requirement for the boss track |
2466s | was just make it epic and make it cool |
2468s | and I hope I delivered on on that on |
2472s | that aspect I know in that respect I |
2475s | really enjoy both tracks actually I |
2477s | think one of the best things as well if |
2479s | you guys don't I go to adult follow mod |
2481s | certain around Twitter just listening to |
2484s | him like going play I stumbled into his |
2486s | room one day going to speak to him he |
2487s | just having so much fun creating these |
2489s | tracks and I think listening to them you |
2490s | can see the passion that's gone into |
2491s | them they're all pretty epic and awesome |
2493s | thanks the cambric could we get the link |
2497s | to Twitter just to give them a shout out |
2498s | answers yeah |
2502s | we'll definitely work for follow because |
2504s | you share quite regularly don't you yeah |
2506s | I'd write you know it's um you know |
2507s | there's a lot we do a lot of stuff in |
2509s | audio so I'm always trying to kind of |
2511s | share and I love sharing what I do it's |
2513s | a it's a big passion of mine so you know |
2517s | and I like receiving the comments and |
2518s | the feedback and whatever really it's |
2521s | always it's all good to share you |
2523s | there's all kind of soundtrack teaser as |
2525s | well yeah not long ago so it's quite |
2527s | it's quite a good month you've got a |
2529s | couple new tracks going out and we have |
2530s | week and then loads more of the |
2532s | indignant for yeah yeah it's been it's |
2534s | been incredibly busy and how many are in |
2537s | sales well we're still more being added |
2539s | so we keep making more myself and body |
2545s | and T we just kind of just keep going |
2546s | many will stop until we stop lost count |
2551s | how does it work you brief the tracks do |
2554s | we brief this pregnancy or is it just |
2555s | that you see what the content is a |
2557s | little idea it's a bit of both really |
2558s | so I know like what that kind of gives |
2561s | us like a very good idea of what we |
2564s | could do and then we take we take we |
2566s | take that information and we we you know |
2568s | we need to say yes let's do this and |
2570s | let's do that and then if there's |
2571s | anything else that we see as possible |
2573s | then we we add that as well |
2575s | it's a it's very much mmm it's what you |
2578s | make of it in some ways and we try to |
2581s | sculpt our music to the content there's |
2584s | been a couple of times going on so much |
2585s | yeah we'll have one track for the |
2586s | farming guild this is a kind of similar |
2595s | situation really you know we got you |
2597s | know for so it's it's you know a piece |
2599s | of music for every climb and obviously |
2600s | Sarkar know the boss the boss fight and |
2604s | the dungeons it's musics just one |
2606s | element as well like it's all effects as |
2608s | well yeah then you know yeah absolutely |
2610s | and you know like when when looking at |
2614s | the art for example Zarkana |
2615s | and I mean what ghosts work on that is |
2617s | incredible and that really helps and |
2619s | helps me write the music indeed the |
2622s | sound effects for that animation it's a |
2626s | very helpful yeah |
2628s | there have been any consideration of |
2630s | suppliers asked us to kind of fix |
2632s | existing content all the time |
2633s | to go back and think ah we should add a |
2636s | track to this area of this coin of this |
2638s | quest as possible as possible I've never |
2640s | really fought a bit like that but um |
2641s | it's I don't see why not |
2643s | okay so happy Flyers feel like they're |
2649s | playing for requests maybe they've heard |
2650s | something being playing before whatever |
2651s | some sound effects they like are they |
2653s | they could let us know but yeah |
2654s | absolutely absolutely I think we always |
2656s | want to kind of improve what we do and |
2659s | if there's anything that people don't |
2660s | like then absolutely you know we want to |
2662s | know we want to know that and because |
2665s | you always want to please we have to we |
2667s | have to nail a couple of things like a |
2669s | wild I had players asking me for the |
2673s | surge spells to have their sound effects |
2675s | of day because they just sound like wave |
2677s | spells and uh so I went I went digging |
2679s | deep into deep into the archives and I |
2682s | found the original sound effects of a |
2683s | search spells from runescape and I port |
2685s | even my over all right I guess |
2686s | interesting physically I had to go into |
2695s | the secret vault and yeah a floppy disk |
2699s | with the right |
2703s | probably disk with old-school one which |
2707s | reminds me actually I saw someone asking |
2709s | to update via dragon claws sound effects |
2711s | so they have the original one and we can |
2713s | probably do that as well so someone |
2715s | remind me and I'll try and dig that one |
2716s | out okay a whole sort of what is there's |
2719s | like fight in the inferno to have its |
2720s | own track it's all in fellas just one |
2722s | music track everyone right now everyone |
2724s | who owns a music cape is screaming |
2726s | scream I wouldn't I wouldn't screw music |
2730s | myself I would make the track unlock |
2733s | with the other one so that I was so that |
2736s | it wasn't harsh have to be triple Chad's |
2740s | now to get a who's it cake it would be |
2743s | the same requirement is getting the in |
2745s | further research rack already it would |
2746s | just play automatically at the boss |
2748s | fight basically to be fair found I said |
2751s | the infernal track is epic itself though |
2753s | yeah I was what I'm saying is a fine |
2756s | isn't it |
2756s | well I think it's |
2758s | how much heard the creative inspiration |
2760s | when it comes to the boss and how you |
2763s | could spice it up even more make that |
2765s | epic mode even more epic play a unique |
2767s | sound effective if you get killed by |
2769s | Zakia that's the plan of the plan we've |
2774s | got time for a couple more questions and |
2776s | this one is about accessibility could we |
2779s | see baby dragons rename to reflect the |
2781s | color for accessibility reasons I'm in a |
2783s | player sites difficult to see it's |
2785s | heling baby blue dragons and baby black |
2786s | dragons apart in the myths guild yeah |
2788s | that makes sense |
2789s | they've brought they've probably added |
2790s | so long ago that at the time they |
2792s | couldn't have a name that long but yeah |
2793s | should be able to do that someone asked |
2798s | about could we do something about Casa |
2800s | wars |
2800s | sabotaging but doesn't really tell us |
2802s | I'll be honest I don't play castle was |
2804s | enough competitively to understand how |
2807s | it could be saboteurs if you can tell us |
2809s | in what ways of content that can be |
2810s | sabotage I think it might be like |
2812s | someone has an alt account and they'll |
2813s | go on the make sure on the opposite team |
2815s | from their main they'll maybe grab the |
2817s | flag and just not deliver you could have |
2818s | seen stuff about barricades as well yeah |
2821s | I've spoken to quite a few members of |
2824s | the castles community saying should we |
2825s | put a maybe reduce the limit or change |
2828s | the way can't the the limit of Akkad's |
2831s | work but that was met by negatively so |
2834s | you can tell us what content needs |
2835s | changing how we might change it that |
2838s | would be a big help in stopping it being |
2840s | summer times yeah that turn that |
2841s | barricade limit I think is one of the |
2843s | biggest problems like people would just |
2844s | go and put the little stupid places and |
2846s | ends obviously come listen where you |
2848s | need them but I tell us if you have a |
2851s | good solution for how we can try and fix |
2853s | that because obviously we don't wanna |
2855s | let you have infinite barricades because |
2856s | that's also it could be a limit per |
2859s | player maybe or something like that I |
2860s | don't know how much difficult I'd be to |
2862s | rework but so that's where we look to |
2864s | you the players who actually played Casa |
2866s | Wars day in and day out to tell us what |
2868s | you think might work and wouldn't |
2870s | negatively impact your playing of the |
2872s | game |
2873s | another some of the elves raise the |
2874s | question how much better can be expect a |
2877s | new crystal key chest to be on the table |
2879s | just not super better like it's not |
2883s | meant to be a new best money maker or |
2885s | anything is just meant to be like a nice |
2886s | little addition like all you've got a |
2888s | few spare shards lying on you've got a |
2889s | key go try a look and see if you can get |
2891s | something |
2891s | a little bit a bleach s not meant to be |
2893s | anything huge like similar to or earlier |
2896s | we haven't actually really done any |
2897s | balancing of drop tables yet so I |
2899s | couldn't give an exact value okay but |
2903s | another question here which is initially |
2904s | concerning content by think it could be |
2907s | related to music as well |
2909s | how many hours have we spent on content |
2911s | that didn't reach the game due to not |
2912s | passing a poll and the player kind of |
2914s | worded it as it's wasted time so what we |
2917s | think about kind of wasted all wasted |
2918s | failed content as you ever engage with |
2922s | music tracks quite a lot and then |
2923s | whether maybe we turn the tracks down or |
2926s | you decide this isn't right we've never |
2928s | had a music track team that you know of |
2936s | course and you know when in the creative |
2939s | process when writing music or making |
2941s | audio you know it's a many time I I |
2944s | start a piece of music and I'm thinking |
2946s | no and the service isn't suitable this |
2949s | isn't right I need to get back it's very |
2950s | beginning is start all over again it |
2952s | happens it happens a lot and it's very |
2954s | frustrating because you spent all this |
2955s | time and and and in commitment and you |
2959s | know to me to make this right but then |
2961s | you just kind of at the end of the day |
2963s | think yeah no maybe not and it's just is |
2967s | just how it is but you know it's hard |
2972s | because give her you attached as well |
2973s | it's like a child |
2974s | yeah the window I guess the same thing |
2978s | with simpler screen content like the |
2979s | creative core so that works and you |
2982s | don't like in I mean I had similar with |
2984s | the with the Hydra bus but I work on the |
2988s | Hydra bus for like a few weeks and I'm |
2991s | not getting anywhere with this and like |
2993s | I just struggle to make something work |
2994s | and I decided I'm just gonna work up |
2996s | something else for for the next few |
2999s | weeks and then go back to it when I went |
3001s | back to I was like now I've got it the |
3004s | Hydra bus turned out I think there are |
3005s | main different ways in a way that people |
3007s | like absolutely I think there are many |
3008s | ways to kind of combat that you know |
3010s | there's working on something else taking |
3012s | a break or just live sometimes just |
3014s | slumming head across the table and it's |
3015s | like can I get this done you know that's |
3017s | not sometimes my method just don't know |
3019s | something's gonna work like yeah and we |
3021s | being on one of the cutscene to someone |
3023s | else that most of a day doing this |
3025s | some of the elves and in the end just |
3026s | conclude like this just doesn't work |
3028s | this is an awful cutscene just deleted |
3030s | the entire thing and start it again like |
3032s | but don't you say about like wasted time |
3035s | it's like what what is wasted tires like |
3037s | me here a question like because by doing |
3040s | that I then learned that yeah that kind |
3042s | of thing doesn't work and I now know |
3043s | from the future no hmm in terms of that |
3045s | side failed poor questions I mean I |
3049s | never really see that as wasted time |
3050s | like the reason we're doing it it's the |
3054s | stuff that some wasting more time |
3055s | because we do design and then we don't |
3058s | waste the dev time yeah I mean sometimes |
3059s | with like prototype things and play |
3061s | around repair because it might help us |
3062s | design but yeah a structure that became |
3065s | the gone that we developed that back in |
3067s | December long before we pulled some |
3070s | girls but that was because we needed to |
3071s | know if it was possible before we pulled |
3072s | it and how do we pulled in and failed |
3074s | then we still learnt something that we |
3076s | can apply to future content not only |
3077s | that not only that if we didn't pull it |
3081s | and we spent the next six months working |
3082s | on it and then we delivered it and you |
3084s | do guys didn't like it we've wasted time |
3086s | that's six months wasted it's much |
3089s | better that we waste one month Paulette |
3091s | and then you tell us yes I know but as |
3093s | it says it's not even wasted we learn |
3095s | things from it and it's the make |
3098s | really the cross let's make sure that |
3099s | we're doing the right things that you |
3101s | guys want to see in old school so it's |
3103s | worth it because it makes the quality of |
3104s | what we deliver better |
3105s | I suspect the question was asked because |
3107s | warding for example I don't consider it |
3110s | waste of time because whilst players |
3112s | might not like the skill and I might |
3114s | vote no they might then say actually we |
3116s | liked this aspect of being able to |
3117s | create robes can we apply it to existing |
3120s | scores |
3120s | when we pull the ceiling we didn't spend |
3124s | the team was a lot smaller back when we |
3127s | did ceiling so it wasn't as much time |
3129s | dedicated to going through feedback and |
3131s | stuff like that but a lot of the stuff |
3134s | that was pulled for sailing has since |
3136s | been delivered in other content rewards |
3138s | why's different features here and there |
3141s | same artists skill itself like we just |
3143s | we've stolen so many things from our Sun |
3145s | and use them in other places where |
3147s | they've worked even though our Sun |
3148s | itself did and yeah cool I'm coming to |
3152s | the end I've asked my John if he could |
3155s | play a little video by a chap named lil |
3158s | smokie |
3159s | actually I've got an idea I wanted to |
3161s | talk about before okay |
3163s | QA so just before we going that video |
3167s | I've got an idea okay |
3168s | thinking about like what we could do |
3171s | that's like as a set for like modes to |
3173s | old school itself and especially the |
3178s | minute with Deadman's not currently |
3179s | there the problem with old school is |
3183s | what element firstly the high scores |
3185s | were already full all of these different |
3187s | bits like why don't we just like our I |
3191s | like the idea of spinning of a second |
3192s | old-school instance essentially |
3195s | alongside it but for for a fixed period |
3199s | of time so we spend up an overall school |
3201s | for two months we can modify that so we |
3205s | could do some interesting things with it |
3206s | like for instance locking it down to |
3211s | like a certain area like sort of like |
3213s | what some latex does if it's mauritania |
3216s | like we could do something like that I |
3217s | mean we could even just say it's like |
3219s | say our only wherever we can make it |
3220s | followed or only or that favorite free |
3223s | uh play area something like that do it |
3225s | for a fixed period of time and see how |
3227s | far you can get in that time with its |
3228s | own high scores and everything like that |
3231s | there's so many different interesting |
3233s | things you can do with that that that's |
3236s | just what that's just one version but |
3238s | like it we could do it again next year |
3239s | and do something completely different |
3241s | with it |
3241s | so that it just keeps it interesting and |
3243s | different and something different and a |
3245s | different way to play old school |
3247s | especially when you're like maybe bored |
3249s | of him man you want for me to do on the |
3250s | side stuff like that but that seemed |
3254s | quite in support of it someone has asked |
3256s | if it's like Diablo Seasons I get it |
3259s | sounds like that in a way it could be |
3261s | like it could it could potentially go to |
3263s | that degree like but as a core concept I |
3267s | think it might be quite fun to play with |
3268s | swamp scape kill sperm officers just |
3271s | know that's a cool idea let us know what |
3274s | you think about that chat you seem quite |
3276s | on board with it before we head over to |
3278s | the video and end with the video I've |
3280s | seen a few people ask how he spoke about |
3281s | PvP yeah Last Man Standing was rework |
3284s | beta was played through by our play |
3285s | testers hoping to get out next week |
3287s | there will be we're still working on the |
3289s | design for the Bantam to rework its |
3291s | cupboards I'm a big boy |
3292s | have we spoke about partnership to MTX |
3295s | yes we have right to start the stream |
3296s | we're getting a vote up or you can watch |
3297s | the WOD back on switch you can spoke I |
3300s | spoke at length for about 15 minutes you |
3302s | have to |
3302s | they have like goes free but I'm afraid |
3304s | that you'll get what you answers you |
3306s | want and any other points we'd like to |
3308s | raise before we watch the video yeah I'd |
3310s | like to speak a little bit about for us |
3312s | an order in short on time there's a few |
3313s | things that have changed through QA |
3315s | since the design it's not a lot but just |
3317s | to make players aware in case they'll |
3318s | you know so they're ready going in |
3320s | tomorrow first of all is that the we |
3323s | found out through some testing that |
3324s | adding the temple spiders and their |
3326s | druids to Kunar was just a direct nerf |
3328s | and they weren't particularly fun tasks |
3329s | so we're not adding those you'll still |
3331s | get red dragons on in the area there |
3333s | that's fine but Connor is already |
3335s | struggling to compete with Jared Ellis's |
3337s | so we decided that we didn't just want |
3338s | to give bad tasks to Kohn are |
3341s | potentially look in the future as an |
3343s | unlock if players want or like we might |
3344s | just add them if players again pass a |
3346s | poll but we don't just want to |
3347s | straight-up nerf it especially since the |
3349s | reason that it was added was more just |
3350s | an afterthought hey the only monsters |
3352s | maybe add them to corner there was no |
3354s | real design reason for it |
3356s | the other one is sadness has there's no |
3360s | longer an instance boss you'll be able |
3362s | to just go in and do it straightaway as |
3365s | well we've removed the lock behind the |
3366s | mini quest because the mini quest was |
3367s | visitors their lore thing right |
3369s | it was content that your foursome was |
3370s | forcing people to do that they they |
3374s | didn't maybe need to necessarily want to |
3375s | do that the lock didn't match the |
3377s | content so you can still do it it's |
3379s | still a mini quest still gives hints 10k |
3381s | experience lamp for doing it you get to |
3384s | learn all about the lore but you don't |
3386s | have to do that to get to the boss |
3387s | because that doesn't fit and then I've |
3391s | seen it covered to chat a few times yes |
3393s | it has a pet we've already said that |
3394s | before and one thing we haven't actually |
3395s | said is it has a jar while mod West was |
3399s | doing stuff he was like hey I made a |
3401s | boss case if you want it and I'm like |
3402s | sick ship it it looks very cool so the |
3407s | earthly X you know what would it be |
3412s | quicker just a code 10,000 runecrafting |
3413s | experience but you know just just in |
3415s | case you know I mean I'm genuinely |
3417s | curious if we pull up |
3419s | everyone gets lit in every crafting what |
3420s | feel good foot but the yeah I just |
3423s | obviously didn't want people spending |
3424s | Slayer points getting tasks of doing |
3426s | that we've said exist hopefully players |
3428s | won't mind and I just want to say thank |
3430s | you to everyone who actually voted in |
3431s | that poll and the huge success it was it |
3436s | blew me away it was my first piece of |
3437s | content so just thank you to everyone |
3439s | for for supporting that and I hope it |
3442s | lives up to all your expectations |
3443s | tomorrow and a graduation stone by |
3446s | completing the project yeah feels kind |
3449s | of empty a little bit moved on to other |
3455s | projects but you it was kind of weird we |
3457s | had a lot of feedback from internal |
3459s | playtests and QA and back-and-forth and |
3461s | yes like say well earlier this week we |
3463s | finally signed it often yes yesterday |
3465s | today was just music tracks and actually |
3467s | plugging them in and it was like I mean |
3469s | I'm not allowed to touch it I've |
3470s | actually been banned from touching it |
3472s | and potentially adding more stuff to it |
3473s | like last minute obviously that'd be bad |
3475s | practice it's getting released tomorrow |
3476s | but like I'm just kind of like cool wait |
3479s | and wait |
3479s | waited to see and I know what that's |
3481s | been I know that's been like and |
3483s | compared to something else that's |
3484s | miniscule because they're pretty it's |
3485s | still a pretty big first major project |
3487s | so so I can't even imagine what its |
3489s | gonna feel like going into song elves |
3490s | I'm nervous yeah I'm already nervous for |
3492s | tomorrow how it's gonna go I can't |
3494s | imagine what its gonna look like usually |
3495s | it's like your baby and yeah yeah yeah |
3500s | so I'll be doing it make sure you get |
3503s | your music on guys that's the one I'm |
3505s | gonna be in a position to industry with |
3508s | the video court I just like to say thank |

3519s | questions to deal with around pond ships |
3521s | next week will you business usual thank |
3524s | you very much joining us there's been |
3527s | about 200 hours of progress done in |
