| 97s | with our partners in the gaming industry |
| 98s | to do that you should take a read of the |
| 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 |
| 3510s | you so much summer for joining us and |
| 3511s | for the music track holidays enjoy them |
| 3513s | and thank you to everyone and culture |
| 3514s | for joining me |
| 3514s | players sorry we couldn't ask as many |
| 3517s | game related questions you'd like but |
| 3518s | understand that we had a lot of |
| 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 |
| 3529s | these last three weeks and next episode |
| 3531s | we're going to be pushing that to over |
| 3533s | 300 because I'm gonna be getting the |
| 3535s | abyssal whip next of |
