| 0s | hello and welcome to this week's weekly |
|---|---|
| 2s | old school Q&A I hope you having a |
| 4s | wonderful week |
| 5s | I've just realized we haven't got the |
| 6s | usual backdrop set up by our producer |
| 10s | but I'll carry on anyway it's our game |
| 17s | just in a different universe I guess |
| 18s | it's what I'm gonna go with while he's |
| 21s | working on that |
| 22s | I'm your host Maude Cabot and joining me |
| 25s | on the couch this week is Martine Mod |
| 28s | tight hello Maude Huskie hello and on |
| 32s | the end there we have a new face welcome |
| 34s | what a big warm welcome please for Maude |
| 36s | flipping hi what's up so yeah this is a |
| 42s | new face on the couch latest addition to |
| 44s | the old school team huge welcome thank |
| 47s | you well go for the usual questions and |
| 52s | introduce you to our to our stream what |
| 55s | is your was your role on the team I'm |
| 58s | the new junior content tab on the team |
| 60s | so kind of in the same spot as Huskies |
| 63s | and now obviously you're more |
| 65s | experienced but yeah started last week |
| 69s | last week yeah awesome |
| 71s | how are you finding it so far what's it |
| 72s | been like for your around the office and |
| 74s | on the team it's been real nice actually |
| 77s | I felt really welcome when I came here |
| 79s | and yeah basically only been sitting |
| 84s | practicing real script until today and |
| 87s | I'm gonna be doing that for another week |
| 91s | or so and it's been really fun awesome |
| 93s | cool so again getting to grips with the |
| 96s | code and the script and how it all works |
| 98s | on the back end |
| 98s | exactly awesome what's your history with |
| 102s | old school have you played the game much |
| 104s | in the past |
| 104s | yeah I've been playing for 13 years now |
| 108s | I think since 2006 so I've been playing |
| 112s | both runescape and rou skype iron man |
| 116s | and old school and old school iron man |
| 118s | so I've been kind of juggling accounts |
| 120s | and nice yeah very exploded kids |
| 127s | well he's for yourself answers what |
| 129s | you're up to you at the moment sort of |
| 130s | learning the ropes and getting to grips |
| 131s | with things do you know what projects |
| 133s | you'll be working on |
| 134s | future yeah as soon as I'm done with the |
| 137s | training I think I'll be put to work |
| 139s | with Halloween and I am still kind of |
| 143s | like debating what to do for that but |
| 145s | I'm kind of busy with real script for |
| 148s | now so I'll probably be thinking more |
| 151s | about that once I'm done yeah awesome |
| 154s | that's great we'll see right well I'm |
| 157s | going to throw you the usual curveball |
| 158s | that we do for new bodies on the sofa |
| 161s | right is that if you could add anything |
| 163s | to the game unfold what would it be |
| 167s | see I was thinking about this before and |
| 170s | although it's kind of generic and and |
| 174s | seem pretty obvious I think group Iron |
| 177s | Man just like husky said I know when |
| 180s | this first stream is probably something |
| 182s | that could be healthy for the game I |
| 185s | think I always loved the idea of like |
| 190s | changing rules or you know working with |
| 192s | the content we have but restricting or |
| 195s | changing rules to kind of make up for a |
| 197s | new experience and I also think it's |
| 202s | really fun putting players in a |
| 203s | situation where they have to really |
| 205s | think and theory craft and you know do |
| 209s | things in a different way so I'd take |
| 211s | like any chance to to do that sure |
| 215s | that's how very good I think you make a |
| 216s | really nice point about using the |
| 218s | existing game but playing it in |
| 219s | different ways right kind of a lot like |
| 221s | lousy swamp latex has done famously yeah |
| 223s | yeah |
| 224s | so yeah Group Iron Man could be a really |
| 226s | nice nice thing for that yeah new |
| 228s | players I mean they have the entire game |
| 230s | to explore and try out and obviously |
| 233s | while there is a lot of content for for |
| 236s | more experienced players it still keeps |
| 239s | it kind of fresh and and you can feel |
| 242s | like you're a noob again so yeah |
| 244s | absolutely |
| 245s | awesome well that's a mod 50 for you |
| 250s | guys our new junior content developer I |
| 252s | believe you have your Twitter set up |
| 254s | already so right yeah but what's your |

| 307s | bring on our super sub in the meantime |
| 311s | we've got some announcements the first |
| 315s | one being green fest so we're still |
| 317s | planning for room first and things are |
| 318s | looking very exciting we have had a |
| 322s | quick run-through of the reveal section |
| 324s | so the keynote of the main releases for |
| 327s | next year and there's lots of good stuff |
| 329s | on there exclamation mark runefest for |
| 331s | details about buying your ticket if you |
| 334s | want to attend what ash has joined us on |
| 338s | the sofa just getting miked up hello |
| 343s | so yeah exclamation mark green Festa to |
| 345s | check out |
| 345s | Rufus tickets also exclamation mark |
| 348s | merch will take you to our merch store I |
| 352s | believe and yes so you want to check |
| 362s | that out because we have our room fest |
| 363s | merch already sorted tees and hoodies |
| 366s | but we can get those personalized with |
| 368s | your names printed on the back so for |
| 370s | more information about those exclamation |
| 371s | mark merch yep so other announcements |
| 377s | the Bounty Hunter design blog went live |
| 379s | yesterday exclamation mark BH we'll take |
| 382s | you to it |
| 384s | there's a lot of stuff in there it's a |
| 386s | big overhaul of the bounty hunter system |
| 390s | and there's a lot to read and go through |
| 392s | so if you are interested please take a |
| 394s | look and give us your feedback I think |
| 396s | as a section well I know there's a |
| 397s | section at the bottom |
| 399s | for the channels that we've set up for |
| 402s | you to let us know what you think so |
| 403s | please do so |
| 405s | two things I didn't want to touch on |
| 407s | based on the feedback we've had so far |
| 410s | what's going to happen to your existing |
| 412s | points and emblems so the way we have it |
| 416s | currently designed is to give you guys a |
| 419s | lot of prior warning before any changes |
| 420s | are made in a grace period to cash in |
| 422s | your emblems and use your points after |
| 426s | seeing people's responses to this I'm |
| 427s | not sure if we can adjust that approach |
| 431s | and see I don't know maybe the technical |
| 434s | limitations of something like leaving |
| 435s | the legacy shop open for a while longer |
| 438s | what do you think about something like |
| 440s | that nice but we can manage that okay |
| 442s | because maybe that'd be preferable I |
| 444s | think one of the things Pleasant said |
| 445s | quite a lot while you guys have said is |
| 447s | maybe like a bit more time to spend |
| 449s | those excess points maybe leave it till |
| 452s | Christmas or something you sure sounds |
| 455s | reasonable the only other thing is |
| 457s | players asking where they're going to |
| 458s | buy their rune pouches from obviously at |
| 462s | the moment you if you're not interested |
| 464s | in working up the Slayer points the |
| 467s | alternative is buy an emblem and cash it |
| 470s | in for the rune pouch I think that's |
| 472s | something we need to redress like I |
| 474s | think the the initial pitch was maybe a |
| 477s | bit too high costing 250 points in the |
| 480s | new design that could always be lowered |
| 482s | alternatively we can look at maybe |
| 484s | lowering the Slayer points cost in that |
| 485s | reward shop or even just making it |
| 487s | tradable is also a potential Avenue |
| 491s | Trust to explore I guess |
| 493s | revenue thoughts on this one guys I was |
| 496s | thinking that we might be able to review |
| 498s | the limits how many of the things you've |
| 500s | got at any given time I mean it's not |
| 502s | gonna help with the getting of it but at |
| 504s | the moment you've got one |
| 505s | we won't that you have another and then |
| 507s | if you lose the one you've got then |
| 508s | you're a bit hampered too you can get |
| 510s | another right similar to what's going on |
| 512s | but quite a lot of the bags we deal with |
| 514s | these days so if we were able to relax |
| 518s | that limit it wouldn't let you carry |
| 520s | extra stuff around because all of them |
| 523s | how many copies the thing you've got all |
| 526s | your copies would point at the same data |
| 528s | space so you just they just be another |
| 532s | way of carrying the exact |
| 533s | sayo I think already carrying you don't |
| 534s | benefit from that which means that if we |
| 537s | let you have multiple of them and you |
| 539s | don't find it weirdly confusing they're |
| 541s | all pointing at the same item contents |
| 543s | it might help with the convenience when |
| 546s | you lose one okay |
| 547s | which leaves you with the exact same |
| 549s | question you start with about where you |
| 550s | get them in the first place but having |
| 552s | got a source of things you can grind |
| 554s | that and then have lots of them and not |
| 557s | have to do it every time you want |
| 558s | another one |
| 559s | sure yeah no players were saying the |
| 561s | same thing about the looting bag quite a |
| 562s | lot which is um something else I'd like |
| 564s | to maybe reconsider before pushing ahead |
| 565s | with the design the sort of looting bag |
| 568s | in particular at the moment I think |
| 570s | almost every creature in the wilderness |
| 572s | has the same chance of dropping it with |
| 574s | whether it be a rat or been an artist |
| 578s | and to be honest that's not something we |
| 583s | do these days we could scale it very |
| 585s | differently we can also look into |
| 587s | anything that's not so combat II if |
| 591s | necessary although it was only ever |
| 594s | intended as a looting bag rather than a |
| 596s | carrying random stuff around bag okay |
| 602s | yes so please let us know what you think |
| 604s | of well those issues and everything else |
| 606s | that's in the design I look forward to |
| 608s | seeing all of your feedback and thank |
| 609s | you to everyone who's already commented |
| 610s | and let us know your thoughts generally |
| 613s | though really positive perception so |
| 615s | there's a few particular points dying |
| 616s | out which you've covered but I'm quite |
| 618s | pleased with how the players reacted to |
| 620s | it we had a lot to live up to |
| 621s | considering it was announced at two |
| 623s | consecutive green fest events and it's |
| 625s | long over the Jews why you're rightfully |
| 627s | can concerned so it's nice to see you |
| 630s | engage with it positively and keep |
| 632s | giving us feedback and walking tweaking |
| 633s | the design until you move it on the |
| 637s | topic of PvP we posted the last man |
| 643s | standing rewards poll blog earlier today |
| 647s | exclamation mark LMS will take you |
| 650s | straight to it we are polling this is |
| 653s | not all the things but some of the |
| 654s | notable things we're polling are true |
| 656s | ver parchment which is essentially an |
| 658s | assurance system for allowing you to |
| 659s | bring untradable items deeper into the |
| 661s | wilderness without losing them |
| 664s | the dead man cosmetic armor which was |
| 667s | seldom used in dead man itself but |
| 669s | actually looks very cool and alternate |
| 672s | Halo colors 4p cares who like to use |
| 675s | those there's also a lot of other stuff |
| 678s | in there I think a chance to exchange |
| 680s | points for small amounts of experience |
| 682s | as well as a crate system a 3 tick |
| 686s | one-handed weapon lots of good stuff |
| 690s | we're expected to pull that from Friday |
| 693s | to Wednesday I believe are the dates we |
| 695s | have posted you know the news on Last |
| 701s | Man Standing |
| 702s | tomorrow's update brings the beta back |
| 704s | online again we've made some changes |
| 705s | including gear changes infinite run |
| 707s | energy and a cap on the amount of food |
| 710s | that you can carry at the same time |
| 712s | we're going to be testing some line of |
| 713s | sights changes actually able to give us |
| 716s | a little more insight into why those are |
| 718s | being changed yeah um your explanation |
| 721s | in the blog was pretty darn good I think |
| 723s | that was yours wasn't it no mainly icons |
| 727s | well anyway from 2004 onwards when idea |
| 734s | was written the line-of-sight algorithm |
| 737s | was not symmetrical so there'd be |
| 738s | situations where a could shoot at B but |
| 742s | B couldn't see a to shoot back which |
| 744s | makes no sense but some that's what we |
| 748s | had and what we've kind of always had |
| 750s | all the way back to the Lords of arrests |
| 752s | who in March 2004 I think now other |
| 757s | runescape they got there's some changed |
| 760s | at some point in the intervening years |
| 762s | old school coming from 2007 I had the |
| 765s | original version and we've been quite |
| 769s | cautious about changing that one because |
| 771s | it isn't just PvP it's going to affect |
| 774s | it's anything where anything shoots at |
| 778s | anything else |
| 778s | whether that's well you shooting Zuk Zuk |
| 783s | shooting you trying to get an angle on a |
| 785s | grapple short cut trying to use a safe |
| 789s | spot in a cave source versus garden |
| 793s | where you're dodging elementals Pisgah |
| 796s | tourists thing using |
| 797s | the same kind of mechanic all of these |
| 799s | things are affected by how the game |
| 801s | determines line of sight and of course |
| 804s | some of these are rather sensitive to |
| 806s | change so change like this obviously |
| 810s | we're not gonna be able to test every |
| 811s | single safe spot there's ever been to |
| 813s | see how it's been affected and even if |
| 818s | we were it's meant to make a difference |
| 820s | because the problem with the current |
| 821s | algorithm is it's buggy anyway so what |
| 825s | we're gonna do is put it online on some |
| 827s | vita worlds from tomorrow with |
| 829s | last-man-standing as well cause that's a |
| 831s | rather popular place to shoot other |
| 833s | players and we'll give you the 60 odd |
| 838s | thing as well why not um so you can try |
| 842s | out how the game feels with this new |
| 845s | line of sight algorithm and with any |
| 848s | luck we'll be able to iron out the worst |
| 849s | problems if any with it before rolling |
| 853s | it out to the whole game but ultimately |
| 855s | we do have to expect there will be some |
| 857s | changes because the whole point was to |
| 859s | make some changes because the current |
| 861s | one's buggy and look on the bright side |
| 865s | I think it's the same algorithm they |
| 867s | have had in the PTO Sierra you like that |
| 872s | thank you very much for faking that down |
| 874s | for us |
| 875s | so yeah that's the beta coming out |
| 877s | tomorrow in the same update we also have |
| 880s | a marble leg turn which is essentially a |
| 887s | combination of all the other leg turns |
| 888s | in your Poh I'll be allow you to make |
| 890s | all of the things that they can make |
| 891s | also improving the lector and interface |
| 895s | to have quantity buttons similar I |
| 896s | believe to the recent change to the |
| 898s | silver crafting and smithing interfaces |
| 901s | we're improving fishing the fishing |
| 904s | trawler minigame I can remember exactly |
| 906s | the tweaks we've made I can people |
| 910s | trying to fix the same leak |
| 912s | simultaneously most of them end up |
| 915s | having a dead click and achieve nothing |
| 917s | meanwhile their activity bar keeps on |
| 919s | draining even though they were trying to |
| 921s | do something but they didn't have very |
| 923s | good ping so sometimes get you've got |
| 926s | the trawler altogether what I've tried |
| 929s | to do is change how the |
| 931s | leaky walls and fixed walls transition |
| 934s | back and forth so that if multiple |
| 938s | people are clicking on it at the same |
| 939s | time it's a bit more generous about |
| 943s | letting more of them succeed in doing |
| 945s | something I mean it's like you know |
| 947s | maybe lots of them will end up using a |
| 949s | swamp a stall fits the same leak but you |
| 951s | know you probably weren't too fussed |
| 953s | about the priciest womp paste what you |
| 954s | really want is to be able to get the |
| 956s | leak fixed get your activity move on to |
| 959s | the next thing get back to bailing in |
| 962s | multiplayer tests we've done internally |
| 965s | it does feel a lot less dead clicky than |
| 969s | it used to also while I was in there and |
| 972s | by the way I had to trawl very deep into |
| 975s | its coat to work out do this one I found |
| 978s | out what's wrong with its timer which |
| 980s | has always said it's 12 minutes long |
| 981s | when it isn't it's 10 minutes but the |
| 984s | timer started at 12 and just ticked down |
| 986s | well 1.2 minutes per minute the Devi |
| 991s | wrote it left a comment saying that this |
| 993s | bit of this process runs every 6 cycle |
| 998s | every 5 cycles but in fact it's running |
| 1001s | every 6 cycles or vice versa like that |
| 1003s | so the clock is just as wrong in there |
| 1006s | it always has been |
| 1006s | I've taken the opportunity to make the |
| 1008s | clock correct we're all aware by the way |
| 1011s | the players would like the trawler |
| 1012s | some players at least would like the |
| 1014s | trawler to be shorter that's not |
| 1017s | something we've snuck into this update |
| 1018s | but you know something we can talk about |
| 1021s | changing aspects of design because I've |
| 1024s | been through so much of the code to do |
| 1025s | this thing about the dead clicks that |
| 1028s | I'm a lot more confident being able to |
| 1029s | change other bits about it now might |
| 1031s | even be able to let the trawler run more |
| 1033s | than one copy on the world at a time |
| 1035s | which would be an interesting conversion |
| 1037s | anyway so we've got the dead clicks got |
| 1042s | the timer being corrected also you don't |
| 1046s | there's weird behavior where you stand |
| 1049s | next through one leak you can fix the |
| 1052s | leak you're standing next to you can fix |
| 1054s | the leak on one side of you but you |
| 1056s | can't fix the leak on the other side of |
| 1057s | you without walking around |
| 1059s | and I found out why that is and fixed it |
| 1062s | so now you can fix for leak you're in |
| 1065s | front of you and the two on either side |
| 1067s | which makes a lot more sense really also |
| 1071s | the activity bar it's always been quite |
| 1073s | harsh shower activity bars go and in |
| 1077s | particular carried on ticking down even |
| 1079s | if there was no water for you to bear |
| 1080s | and no links which you know being |
| 1084s | penalized when you couldn't possibly do |
| 1086s | anything useful is harsh so I've changed |
| 1090s | it so that the activity bar goes down |
| 1092s | only when you could credibly be doing |
| 1095s | something like only when there's but at |
| 1099s | least some water and or maybe a leak to |
| 1103s | play with hopefully I'll be fairer |
| 1107s | without letting people just free load |
| 1110s | that so I think oh yeah interfaces if |
| 1114s | you go in there and open a menu like a |
| 1116s | skill guide not that you go through the |
| 1117s | tool to read skill guides surely but |
| 1119s | some just sometimes you want to be able |
| 1121s | to open an interface maybe report abuse |
| 1124s | current behaviors the trawler shuts all |
| 1127s | your interfaces like every three seconds |
| 1129s | I've made it not do that obviously it |
| 1133s | has to shut your interfaces when it |
| 1135s | moves you between the half sunk trawler |
| 1137s | and the and the nuns and the dryer aller |
| 1141s | but apart from that it's a lot easier to |
| 1143s | read things while you in there I hope it |
| 1146s | helps awesome well thank you so much I |
| 1149s | know those are some very popular changes |
| 1151s | it's been a while that players have |
| 1153s | wanted us to uh maybe streamline some |
| 1155s | aspects of fishing trawler so thank you |
| 1156s | for those and big thanks course to mods |
| 1159s | Wolff and rock for and getting this one |
| 1162s | through testing so that we can actually |
| 1165s | launch it without you know launching my |
| 1168s | own tested code and hoping very hard |
| 1170s | players have been trying to fix the |
| 1172s | trawler for years and actors just done |
| 1174s | it in a couple days take it Wow yep nice |
| 1184s | other things happening in the update |
| 1187s | we've got a few song of the office |
| 1188s | changes as well so we're adding a replay |
| 1191s | function for |
| 1192s | all of the cutscenes so once you've |
| 1193s | completed the quest you can go through |
| 1195s | the cutscenes if you want to see the |
| 1196s | story again and we're also allowing you |
| 1198s | to replay the main boss fight I won't |
| 1203s | say anymore just for fear of |
| 1205s | accidentally spoiling some of the story |
| 1206s | but yeah that's something you'll be able |
| 1208s | to do I think we can at least confirm |
| 1211s | that it's got time tracking on it yes it |
| 1214s | will have time tracking and a kill count |
| 1216s | for people who want to flex those I |
| 1219s | think some of us have global |
| 1221s | leaderboards as well or am I mistaken |
| 1223s | there it's got the global best time |
| 1226s | items really they've been able to do a |
| 1228s | global best name okay okay I'm not sure |
| 1233s | off the top of my head there's something |
| 1236s | global we're also adding two of the boss |
| 1241s | fights not the one that we just |
| 1243s | mentioned but another two I'm sort of |
| 1245s | giving away how many big fight there on |
| 1247s | the quest another two of them are being |
| 1249s | added to the nightmare zone for you too |
| 1252s | well replay there if you wish that's |
| 1257s | about it for tomorrow's update there are |
| 1260s | even a few other smaller changes as well |
| 1262s | quite a lot of graphical bug fixes in |
| 1265s | this one mod West has fixed quite a |
| 1269s | little bit it's a costume that's |
| 1270s | stretched when you did certain |
| 1271s | animations not every issue of that |
| 1275s | nature but there's a pretty long list in |
| 1277s | there look forward to the patch notes |
| 1279s | having the top ten fixes will dedicate |
| 1281s | to stretching with Lex but okay the |
| 1287s | house just reminded me another graphical |
| 1288s | change I believe mod West is responsible |
| 1290s | for is bringing the clue caskets in line |
| 1292s | with the color coding system for the |
| 1294s | clues Scrolls yes which is a nice one |
| 1298s | all right I'm gonna move on to the |
| 1300s | questions then if you have any questions |
| 1304s | that you want to ask during the stream |
| 1306s | make sure to send them to mod Bruno who |
| 1308s | is on the chat at old-school RS way to |
| 1313s | read what are they laughing at did we |
| 1315s | say something funny that I didn't must |
| 1317s | have missed it I think it's ash as we |
| 1319s | get flex a bit delayed um lag right so |
| 1325s | our first |
| 1326s | was the high stop voted one that I saw |
| 1329s | so I figure we should address it so this |
| 1333s | player asked with WOW classic around the |
| 1335s | corner has Jagex thought about the value |
| 1337s | that you get for a runescape membership |
| 1339s | versus a WoW membership while classic |
| 1342s | will directly compete with old-school |
| 1343s | for players who are chasing the 2004 to |
| 1346s | 2007 nostalgia of the Golden Age of MMOs |
| 1349s | and I think mod Sween you were offered |
| 1352s | to field this one haven't really |
| 1354s | prepared anything this is more of a |
| 1355s | matter of opinion on how you perceive |
| 1358s | value personally I think we offer quite |
| 1360s | good value for membership we our weekly |
| 1362s | updates apart from Christmas when we |
| 1364s | take some time off you don't pay for |
| 1366s | expansions like you do in well it's just |
| 1369s | the description alone also we don't sell |
| 1371s | level boosts like well do how I'm not |
| 1374s | trying to throw shade on well I'm |
| 1375s | probably going to try classic myself but |
| 1377s | we don't really know anything about |
| 1378s | their kind of update cadence if they're |
| 1380s | gonna release expansions if we're going |
| 1381s | to have other sources of monetization so |
| 1386s | I guess it's right if you're rightfully |
| 1388s | able to look at weaknesses in our |
| 1391s | subscription so stuff like player |
| 1393s | support and account security you're |
| 1394s | unhappy with well that's what we're |
| 1395s | working on currently I'm assured that |
| 1398s | there's a blog coming this month which |
| 1400s | is our next step for account security so |
| 1402s | having more information now so we're |
| 1405s | trying to address the problems you see |
| 1407s | with our value and we're going to keep |
| 1409s | on making good content every week |
| 1412s | awesome thank you for that one I'll |
| 1416s | crack on them with the other questions |
| 1419s | Muslim content related the first is can |
| 1422s | you buff wilderness Slayer Barrens keys |
| 1424s | currently don't offset the loss of value |
| 1426s | in Tier one emblems I actually pulled |
| 1428s | this question before we posted the |
| 1430s | bounty hunter design blog I think the |
| 1432s | loss in value they were referring to at |
| 1434s | the time was just a steady drop that |
| 1438s | we've seen in Tier one emblems I think |
| 1440s | it's maybe even more relevant now with |
| 1441s | the suggestion in the bounty hunter |
| 1443s | design something we held back from when |
| 1446s | we first added Larenz keys is adding |
| 1450s | various unique things that might make |
| 1453s | good well combat rewards for the |
| 1457s | wilderness |
| 1458s | because we knew we'd got a couple of |
| 1460s | blogs coming out with bounty hunter a |
| 1462s | lot of understanding both of which |
| 1463s | needed rewards that kind of fell in the |
| 1467s | same category of stuff so through a |
| 1471s | certain extent we deliberately left |
| 1473s | Larenz keys that left ideas off those so |
| 1476s | that we could offer them elsewhere |
| 1478s | but now we've got slightly more clarity |
| 1480s | on what our plans are with Last Man |
| 1482s | Standing and bounty hunter we can look |
| 1485s | at ideas we didn't use on those knowing |
| 1488s | that they're available for Larenz chests |
| 1491s | I'm surprised that names stuck so well |
| 1493s | cuz it was I just threw a couple of |
| 1496s | syllables together sound sound good |
| 1498s | enough I reckon Lara would we like to |
| 1502s | offer uniques in those chests rather |
| 1504s | than increasing the overall sort of |
| 1506s | average value I would prefer to partly |
| 1511s | because a unique can be a lot more |
| 1512s | effective than say staffing out a lot |
| 1516s | more resources from pvm that could |
| 1518s | otherwise have come from skilling |
| 1519s | content or injecting lots of coins into |
| 1524s | the game whereas a unique will hopefully |
| 1528s | have more significant value and also be |
| 1532s | a things hope for when you're heading |
| 1536s | there and wondering whether you even get |
| 1539s | strike it lucky there's nothing like you |
| 1541s | need to make it feel like you did strike |
| 1543s | it lucky something we learned long ago |
| 1545s | on a thing keep as far back as a |
| 1547s | polypore dungeon is if you get even if |
| 1549s | you make a loot table where the average |
| 1551s | rate is acceptable to players but |
| 1554s | nothing on there is uncommon it stops |
| 1558s | feeling very exciting to them this was a |
| 1560s | actual source of complaints at the time |
| 1562s | so since then I've always been in favor |
| 1564s | of there being something very uncommon |
| 1568s | to watch out for in the hope that it's |
| 1570s | going to be that moment especially if |
| 1572s | you can carry a stack of em keys around |
| 1574s | okay |
| 1575s | players do constantly tell us how much |
| 1577s | they love to God Wars dungeon loop |
| 1578s | tables for example because of the |
| 1579s | promise of larger uniques that said |
| 1582s | we've gone there |
| 1582s | we do have the blade of solder offered |
| 1584s | as the being unique but players are |
| 1587s | complaining that the |
| 1588s | isn't viable enough it's not quite |
| 1590s | enough or kapha was over but it used to |
| 1592s | so maybe it will players aren't the same |
| 1595s | or maybe who need to find a better |
| 1596s | milligram personally prefer the |
| 1598s | approachable uniques I think corrupted |
| 1602s | gauntlet is actually better than people |
| 1603s | think more so the corrupted version and |
| 1605s | people often forget to account the value |
| 1607s | for the shards sure they need processed |
| 1608s | by the player but they're worth quite a |
| 1610s | bit actually and they add a lot to the |
| 1612s | thing and you can't see them in your |
| 1614s | price checker the same so I think people |
| 1617s | under played that quite a lot yeah that |
| 1622s | drop table as far as I know speaking to |
| 1623s | the devs was created purely to be kind |
| 1625s | of gods war Z with you know you kind of |
| 1627s | you know have supplies to make your cost |
| 1629s | back obviously but you get enough that |
| 1631s | it's worth doing in the hopes of getting |
| 1632s | that those rare unique even the armor |
| 1634s | seeds are you know there were they like |
| 1637s | just shy of a mil that's still a |
| 1639s | reasonable drop to get you know let's go |
| 1641s | and make that our better than some of |
| 1642s | the other hours that's true I think you |
| 1644s | make a really valid point as well about |
| 1645s | distinguishing between the standard |
| 1647s | corrupted corrupted gauntlet yeah we're |
| 1649s | still quite early days after the release |
| 1651s | and especially that initial feedback |
| 1653s | came in most players were dying to the |
| 1654s | corrupted gauntlet far more than |
| 1656s | actually completing it so maybe once |
| 1659s | we've got more data on the average value |
| 1661s | players getting back from that they'll |
| 1662s | even out of it also I don't think ed and |
| 1664s | Lenny have revealed the rates for either |
| 1667s | gauntlet yet have they no I don't |
| 1669s | believe so |
| 1670s | no that is a topic we touched on before |
| 1672s | the stream went live though it's a |
| 1675s | question later on but I'll address it |
| 1676s | now which was what is the rate of the |
| 1679s | agility pet on the prisoners course |
| 1682s | we're not going to tell you just now |
| 1686s | we're going to leave that as a spoiler |
| 1687s | we can't confirm that the unity pet is |
| 1689s | available on that course if you were |
| 1691s | wondering but I do believe the song of |
| 1693s | the elves team planned to release all of |
| 1695s | those sort of stats including call the |
| 1697s | drop table in the near future |
| 1699s | as we often do a little while after |
| 1702s | their release I think what the |
| 1704s | interesting things with the gauntlet |
| 1705s | drop table as well as people were not |
| 1707s | doing it consistently at first and they |
| 1709s | were still doing speed running |
| 1710s | strategies with the emphasis on the |
| 1712s | tournament and seeing how well the |
| 1713s | competition see how well they can do it |
| 1715s | now that there is no incentive to go for |
| 1717s | that fastest time and it's instead what |
| 1719s | is the best method to get the most kills |
| 1720s | per hour is it |
| 1721s | you know it's better to have safer |
| 1723s | guaranteed kills are slower to compare |
| 1725s | to that risky quicker kill so I think |
| 1727s | that even now it's a bit too early to |
| 1730s | say one we need to kind of get numbers |
| 1731s | on what the average you know completions |
| 1734s | and hour is for someone who's |
| 1735s | consistently doing them that's true |
| 1738s | all right I'll move on to our next |
| 1740s | question which is could we store axes at |
| 1743s | the canoe stations they're currently not |
| 1745s | convenient to use and this might help a |
| 1747s | little bit we have any thoughts on this |
| 1750s | the tech isn't hard except for axes with |
| 1753s | charges built into them but for which it |
| 1755s | is why do you maybe don't need that kind |
| 1758s | of axe thought in your canoe station |
| 1760s | unless you're really flexing when you |
| 1762s | travel by River it's not a cruise ship |
| 1765s | so for the more basic axes that would be |
| 1770s | fine I think cool happiness is genuine |
| 1774s | quality of life change and there was |
| 1777s | talk as well when we posted a new player |
| 1780s | blog for example we posited the idea of |
| 1781s | a transport system some players did ask |
| 1783s | us to consider rather than forcing |
| 1785s | something that has you floating around |
| 1786s | the map or whatever to use existing |
| 1788s | methods of transportation like canoes so |
| 1791s | I guess would players be up for us |
| 1793s | allowing you to store your acts and also |
| 1796s | expanding it to free-to-play and making |
| 1798s | morph-o-matic way of getting around the |
| 1800s | map mmm the question for players |
| 1802s | possibly adding more canoes to other |
| 1804s | rivers yes the are doing you ever could |
| 1807s | benefit a little yeah that'd be nice |
| 1810s | they are very underused so I remember |
| 1812s | the last time I used one there wasn't |
| 1813s | four things a diary even if one of them |
| 1815s | isn't there you know there's a house it |
| 1818s | I mean a trip back to age 4 when you |
| 1819s | haven't got a glory it has its uses and |
| 1822s | they actually difficult ly slower than |
| 1824s | the teleport alternatives so I still |
| 1825s | think it's worth you know we can expand |
| 1827s | on that without fear of you know feature |
| 1829s | creeping and making transport and you |
| 1830s | still have to unlock those levels you |
| 1832s | know so our next player asks what they |
| 1837s | say excuse me |
| 1839s | challenges such as the inferno are |
| 1841s | difficult even with a twisted bow |
| 1843s | however in five years time new better |
| 1845s | armors and weapons will have been |
| 1846s | released making these challenges easier |
| 1848s | and devaluing the achievements of |
| 1850s | players in previous years does the team |
| 1853s | think this is a serious issue and what |
| 1855s | be done to limit this it's essentially a |
| 1858s | question about power creep and how we |
| 1860s | how we handle that |
| 1861s | I mean players themselves is quite a |
| 1863s | good job of limiting power creep should |
| 1866s | we miss it in the first glance when it |
| 1868s | goes to a blog we're quite solved that's |
| 1870s | power creep you guys the poll if you |
| 1871s | look at the Chamber's Eric rewards poll |
| 1874s | that failed on a number of occasions and |
| 1875s | we had to completely revisit and |
| 1878s | rebalance accordingly and that's why we |
| 1880s | seem to be pursuing looking at niche |
| 1883s | weaponry and nisha armors rather than as |
| 1886s | a straight new tier he's another new |
| 1887s | tier wait is $10.99 now you know there |
| 1892s | was a time when the King back dragon was |
| 1893s | the ultimate boss in the game power |
| 1896s | creep has patterned since 2004 it now is |
| 1902s | not the most awesome boss of the game |
| 1903s | but other bosses have been released |
| 1905s | since then that are a bit more |
| 1907s | interesting and by including the inferno |
| 1911s | I do expect there'll be more of that |
| 1914s | nature in future in the same it |
| 1916s | regardless of what it what happens to |
| 1918s | the armored weapons just because |
| 1921s | sometimes we add really top end |
| 1924s | challenges I think it's worth also |
| 1927s | pointing out Inferno has a lot of |
| 1928s | difficulty that's just even just beyond |
| 1930s | gear a little bit there's a lot of quick |
| 1932s | decision-making a safe spot that you |
| 1934s | suddenly spot and you need to take |
| 1935s | prioritizing monsters that's very |
| 1937s | different doesn't like fight caves which |
| 1939s | is mostly you just safe spot it and jad |
| 1941s | is very you know you have to react every |
| 1943s | six tips or whatever the attack speed |
| 1945s | abasement |
| 1945s | hey miss suck on the other hand like it |
| 1948s | doesn't matter if you have the best |
| 1950s | defensive gear in the game he's still |
| 1951s | gonna one shot you still need to follow |
| 1952s | the shield you still need to do it while |
| 1954s | flicking and killing a jad and dealing |
| 1956s | with the fact there's a mage and Ranger |
| 1958s | spawn those mechanics aren't going away |
| 1959s | it's going to get slightly easier if we |
| 1961s | power creep a little bit but the |
| 1963s | mechanics of the fight are still of the |
| 1965s | nature that it's going to be difficult |
| 1966s | regardless and hey if people think that |
| 1968s | the inferno is not hard enough and we've |
| 1970s | got better gear we can make something |
| 1972s | more hard more difficult you know for up |
| 1974s | to the inferno crops an inferno Inferno |
| 1977s | hard mode perhaps but there's just the |
| 1979s | nature of a thing I mean fight cases |
| 1980s | once prestigious wasn't it and then |
| 1982s | blowpipe kind of ruined that as well as |
| 1984s | a few other things so |
| 1987s | yeah I just think it's um I think I |
| 1990s | think yeah I'm still just a shower in |
| 1992s | there it makes it easier I don't think |
| 1996s | it makes luck any easier though yeah |
| 1999s | funny you mention um the blowpipe I saw |
| 2001s | a comment in the chat which was 275 the |
| 2005s | twisted burn the blowpipe should be |
| 2007s | maybe increased to somewhere around 90 |
| 2009s | we have talked about this before like I |
| 2013s | remember what part of general consensus |
| 2015s | is maybe let me know your thoughts guys |
| 2016s | I I'm personally in favor of rebalancing |
| 2018s | the tears I think the weapons are maybe |
| 2021s | well I think that well I know they're a |
| 2023s | lot more powerful than other weapons |
| 2024s | that similar tears so I would be up for |
| 2026s | this yeah I think the only concern that |
| 2028s | I think I raised last time was came up |
| 2030s | was if someone has an account that they |
| 2032s | used to twist a bow to kill suck on has |
| 2033s | an infernal caped a PK with if we make |
| 2035s | it to your ninety range that increases |
| 2036s | the combat bracket a little bit I don't |
| 2038s | think that's a reason to stop it I think |
| 2040s | it would do a lot good for the game to |
| 2041s | set almost these is a power ceiling if |
| 2044s | that makes sense |
| 2045s | yeah in a way where you know we need we |
| 2049s | can suddenly say here's a tr-85 weapon |
| 2051s | that's not as good as a twisted bow |
| 2052s | against things we to magic but it's |
| 2054s | better than some of the other stuff you |
| 2055s | know yeah it does open up that tear as |
| 2057s | well where we haven't got much tougher |
| 2058s | sort of 80 to 80 to 90 as well would be |
| 2061s | I think useful yeah and in that way it's |
| 2064s | not really power creep because although |
| 2067s | because we're now at free now for |
| 2069s | example we couldn't add an item that's |
| 2071s | very powerful at tier 80-85 but it would |
| 2074s | still probably not be as good as you |
| 2076s | know your side he twisted bow so that |
| 2078s | would feel a bit strange I think it is |
| 2081s | worth saying that the site interested |
| 2082s | more powerful but they do require |
| 2083s | specific stats on monsters to be |
| 2086s | powerful this is true such as the size |
| 2088s | of the creature for the site along with |
| 2089s | low defense lower defense so and |
| 2093s | obviously the magic level for twisted |
| 2095s | bow it's not difficult to make a |
| 2097s | creature pre resistant to a twisted bow |
| 2102s | move on to our next question which is |
| 2105s | can you improve the kalphite Queen's |
| 2107s | drop table their new reason to kill the |
| 2109s | boss at the moment is for the pet its |
| 2111s | head or the achievement diary |
| 2114s | requirement |
| 2117s | what we reckon I don't know what the |
| 2119s | average route of the KQ is off the top |
| 2121s | of my head but I do know it's not |
| 2122s | particularly good it still has some |
| 2125s | pretty good drops though I mean it has |
| 2127s | two magic seeds it has the wines we've |
| 2132s | already well before I worked here as an |
| 2134s | already been buffed like two or three |
| 2135s | times I think from its initial initial |
| 2137s | at least once it's partly to add food so |
| 2140s | you could extend your trips there mm-hmm |
| 2142s | it is a boss with no requirements as |
| 2144s | well sure the elites diary makes it |
| 2146s | quicker but I'm seeing a mixed reaction |
| 2150s | in the shadow actually a lot of people |
| 2151s | saying it is already quite okay |
| 2154s | others saying is dead content so quite a |
| 2156s | mixed range of opinions in there if we |
| 2159s | ever made a new armor that was created |
| 2162s | by bolting something on to a dragon |
| 2163s | chain that might indirectly bought the |
| 2165s | cake you without buffing the cake you |
| 2169s | that's true and the idea of upgrading |
| 2172s | existing kits to make the new top-end |
| 2175s | stuff has been well it's quite well |
| 2178s | before where people didn't want the |
| 2179s | existing items to become valueless I've |
| 2183s | seen few numbers I mean people saying |
| 2185s | cake use one to two mill an arrow with |
| 2186s | the diary I don't know the numbers but |
| 2188s | that feels about right for a boss with |
| 2190s | no requirements I know you just need to |
| 2192s | diary but it does hit really hard though |
| 2196s | boss yeah but is that easy to access |
| 2199s | that's all another suggestion which was |
| 2202s | just decrease the respawn timer because |
| 2206s | at the moment it doesn't make a |
| 2207s | difference if you say banking or |
| 2208s | teleporting back after every trip but |
| 2210s | people do want to get one or two kills |
| 2211s | or more per inventory that could improve |
| 2215s | it I don't know how many people that |
| 2217s | would the difference when you've got a |
| 2219s | dragon war hammer spec is pretty |
| 2220s | significant against the cardfight queen |
| 2221s | but especially with the dire you get |
| 2223s | back really fast so I don't think a lot |
| 2225s | players would take that option but I |
| 2227s | don't see why we couldn't just make it |
| 2229s | quicker if to make it easier for those |
| 2230s | that do want to stay especially in |
| 2231s | groups okay I relied his next question |
| 2239s | which was is it possible to follow your |
| 2242s | pet to have the same effect of two |
| 2244s | players following each other |
| 2247s | the onion team program the player |
| 2249s | following player thing very specifically |
| 2251s | they would need to do likewise for the |
| 2255s | pets I think if they were if we're going |
| 2257s | to have it exactly the same I do not see |
| 2260s | this being something that gets their |
| 2262s | time anytime soon okay given the number |
| 2265s | of other things we want from them |
| 2266s | besides dancing of your pet what have |
| 2269s | you made it so you could also tell your |
| 2271s | pet to follow someone else so you're |
| 2272s | following your pet which is following on |
| 2273s | Sinai's let's say you got there's a lot |
| 2274s | of training going on that'd be awesome |
| 2277s | isn't the engine it wouldn't be exactly |
| 2279s | the same but periodic just try to make |
| 2282s | you walk back to your pet you might find |
| 2284s | it really really frustrating that this |
| 2286s | was happening when you might want to |
| 2288s | stop but some we could probably let you |
| 2292s | mess around and dosey doe and keep |
| 2294s | teleporting back forth with your pets |
| 2296s | well we could do something else just |
| 2298s | reminded me of a bug I had when I was |
| 2301s | implementing these tractors Pet pun |
| 2302s | intended where she just randomly decide |
| 2305s | to walk away from the player after |
| 2306s | talking to them okay and I was like |
| 2307s | that's strange |
| 2309s | ash can you help me with this an ash |
| 2311s | point out the problem that I had done |
| 2312s | with my implementation better all used |
| 2314s | to happen to quite a few of the pets are |
| 2317s | um quietly fixed a lot of them after |
| 2320s | their first launch but going further |
| 2322s | back these are nara Squier thing that |
| 2324s | will contact whether a six-headed entity |
| 2328s | in one dress turns up and um looms at |
| 2332s | you ins and iris that had it too for the |
| 2335s | same reason and it would just go |
| 2337s | skidding off rounds as long as all by |
| 2338s | itself but still beyond the impression |
| 2340s | it's following somebody so if you just |
| 2342s | approach this random quiet oats leave it |
| 2345s | alone and it's following somebody else |
| 2346s | but it wasn't maids and iris feel very |
| 2350s | even more weird than it should and I do |
| 2354s | not like that piece of content sorry can |
| 2360s | we stop Rangers in PvP from using full |
| 2363s | armor sets and still having good ranged |
| 2365s | accuracy I saw this question come up |
| 2369s | quite a bit or at least this feedback |
| 2372s | point come up quite a bit while I was |
| 2373s | discussing about the other changes a lot |
| 2375s | of people saying I shouldn't be hit so |
| 2377s | often |
| 2379s | someone ranging me when they're wearing |
| 2381s | a fighter torso Marin plate legs for |
| 2382s | example I think we did in the initial |
| 2385s | PvP changes section of that blog want to |
| 2389s | offer renew a reduction in the offensive |
| 2392s | stats to ranged of those items but we |
| 2395s | had really settled on any specific |
| 2397s | numbers yet how do we feel about this |
| 2400s | generally not thank you Bruno for |
| 2402s | pointing out this you referring to like |
| 2405s | a piece of armor rather than armadyl oh |
| 2407s | I use me I say okay I'm I've been |
| 2410s | misleading okay yeah sorry I mean metal |
| 2416s | melee armor specifically it's |
| 2419s | interesting because most PK accounts |
| 2421s | have really low defense anyway so |
| 2422s | they're gonna be hard hit and basically |
| 2424s | all the dps of any ranged weapon is |
| 2426s | front loaded by the ammunition having |
| 2427s | the entire bulk of the strength so it |
| 2429s | doesn't matter even if we'd reduce the |
| 2431s | accuracy you can still wait for a hard |
| 2433s | hit and time your specs accordingly sure |
| 2436s | but that better accuracy you can get |
| 2437s | these more often I think we were talking |
| 2441s | about it just yesterday actually and |
| 2442s | like it wouldn't be the factors |
| 2444s | essentially a ruin plate body with |
| 2446s | strength so why don't we make it have |
| 2449s | the same negative as a rune plate body |
| 2451s | but it's stuff like this would need to |
| 2453s | be polled I think yeah absolutely I |
| 2456s | think I whichever way it gets |
| 2459s | implemented I do like the the concept of |
| 2461s | keeping the combat triangle like each |
| 2464s | corner more distinct I think that's not |
| 2468s | the whole point of like you know |
| 2469s | switching and trying to out now play |
| 2470s | your opponent in PvP is the point of |
| 2472s | changing styles quickly but cases where |
| 2475s | you can do things like this like |
| 2476s | attacking one mode but be get up and |
| 2478s | defending another is well we should try |
| 2481s | and reduce that if possible the |
| 2487s | interesting to see what they thought of |
| 2489s | negative range strength on melee gear |
| 2490s | that would be something that's never |
| 2491s | done we don't do negative strength on |
| 2493s | anything it would be a more direct fix |
| 2495s | to the problem but I don't know if that |
| 2497s | feels old-school which is quite often up |
| 2499s | it'll be unusual but it might be the |
| 2501s | most effective way if this is something |
| 2503s | people want us to balance yeah can we |
| 2508s | get a space in the play roundhouse for |
| 2510s | storing the Ardoin Knight armor from |
| 2512s | some of |
| 2512s | elves it is great fashion escape and I |
| 2516s | think more Lenny did it for tomorrow's |
| 2518s | update there you go |
| 2521s | they all says yes it's coming tomorrow |
| 2522s | I'll let it with you that wasn't me |
| 2529s | turn anything oh sorry can't superious |
| 2533s | they're monsters in the eye Worth |
| 2534s | dungeon have a guarantee drop of crystal |
| 2536s | shards I think at the moment the the |
| 2540s | monsters in there drop crystal shards |
| 2541s | occasionally but the superior's as far |
| 2544s | as I know don't drop them at all which |
| 2545s | seems possibly unfair if that is the |
| 2547s | case they didn't Lee just pull a change |
| 2549s | to what those odds do it hasn't well it |
| 2554s | passed the poll but it hasn't been |
| 2555s | enacted yet right might not be a bad |
| 2557s | thing if we just didn't do anything else |
| 2560s | with the shards until that's taking |
| 2562s | effects and players get to see it well |
| 2564s | then probably see more changes on the |
| 2565s | back of the one they haven't seen yet |
| 2566s | sure that makes sense the charts hold a |
| 2569s | lot of value to the activities done in |
| 2571s | proof I think if we make them more |
| 2572s | common or guaranteed drops then it |
| 2574s | reduces that also that whole dungeon I |
| 2577s | believe is can in a bowl yes so yeah so |
| 2582s | change in drop rates in there would be |
| 2583s | quite a big change because of that |
| 2585s | because the rate you can kill them would |
| 2587s | be significantly higher sure ok so we |
| 2590s | probably wouldn't look to add more |
| 2591s | crystal shards into the game at this |
| 2593s | time I realized we're actually getting |
| 2596s | well we're about 3/4 of the way through |
| 2598s | the stream and there was some |
| 2600s | user-generated content I wanted to share |
| 2602s | two pieces of our door so I know mods we |
| 2605s | and you wanted to get away a bit early |
| 2606s | sorry I meant to do this possibly idea |
| 2608s | it's not quite about headaches I was |
| 2610s | gonna shoot off halfway through but an |
| 2611s | idiot now so I might as well on the |
| 2614s | safer longer than you wanted time sort |
| 2616s | of got away from me |
| 2617s | if we can bring up the pictures the two |
| 2620s | things I wanted to share I can't |
| 2621s | remember the the names of the I think |
| 2624s | there were two marked at the bottom |
| 2625s | there it looks like Instagram is cosplay |
| 2628s | underscore shots so yeah they've dressed |
| 2632s | up as a well a guard here for you which |
| 2634s | I thought was excellent I really like |
| 2636s | this yeah so these guys you know it's |
| 2642s | nice from here the shirt it doesn't look |
| 2644s | like the shirt looks like it's been |
| 2646s | the chains that you've been painted on |
| 2647s | from here oh yeah I can see what you |
| 2649s | mean I guess I wanna comment say it was |
| 2651s | freely printed whether the pattern was |
| 2653s | free or really it's um oh yeah nice be |
| 2655s | careful life expectancies pretty low for |
| 2657s | guards so that's a very distinct muscle |
| 2662s | on the arm um yeah so it is hmm yeah |
| 2668s | we've also got a I believe a picture of |
| 2671s | the Bears brothers again apologize can't |
| 2673s | remember the name Volkov and local man |
| 2676s | is it yeah I just thought it was well |
| 2679s | nice funny picture of the the Bears |
| 2683s | brothers already like the style of this |
| 2686s | one particular guffin yeah bottom right |
| 2690s | there play my favorite girl up arms face |
| 2692s | there yeah is it meant to be to |
| 2694s | adventure time seems okay |
| 2697s | yeah it could be it does look like that |
| 2699s | style very nice I just wanted to share |
| 2703s | those with you guys I think we're likely |
| 2705s | to credit them probably on social at |
| 2708s | some point as well it's the plan alright |
| 2711s | I'll crack on with our remaining |
| 2713s | questions then |
| 2717s | so our next player asks if we can add a |
| 2719s | way to select roles in theater of blood |
| 2722s | at the the board stage when you're |
| 2724s | setting up your group this would be to |
| 2726s | avoid conflict during the raid and |
| 2728s | resulting in people leaving the party |
| 2731s | there are thoughts on this one |
| 2733s | the only roles I can think of is you |
| 2736s | might not want everyone to bring mage so |
| 2738s | my own people specifically to freeze the |
| 2740s | nigh locust to freeze the yeah the now |
| 2744s | the kiss and the maiden fight and that |
| 2745s | actually to amazed Americus I don't see |
| 2750s | there's no like sort of its role thing |
| 2753s | that we've put in to say this is we need |
| 2755s | this person to that it's kind of just |
| 2756s | what the players have figured out for |
| 2757s | their meta so I don't see why they don't |
| 2759s | just communicate with each other and |
| 2761s | even if everyone brings if everyone |
| 2763s | brings magic it's only I think I |
| 2766s | personally only take a sessional top and |
| 2768s | a trident so it's not even that many |
| 2770s | more inventory slots maybe runes as well |
| 2772s | water rooms so it's the the raid still |
| 2775s | very doable even with everyone taking it |
| 2778s | I think if you can't communicate with |
| 2780s | the people even as something as basic as |
| 2781s | take magic yes then you probably |
| 2784s | shouldn't read for them personally sure |
| 2787s | I suppose maybe this suggestion comes |
| 2790s | from a wider issue which is just the |
| 2793s | difficulty in finding teams yeah and I |
| 2796s | don't know if well maybe we can't think |
| 2798s | of something off the top of our head |
| 2799s | right here on the sofa but that's |
| 2800s | something I'd like is to think maybe a |
| 2801s | bit more about generally do we have a |
| 2803s | minigame chat channel for it very |
| 2805s | theater bud maybe so actually if we did |
| 2808s | would that make it easier for people if |
| 2810s | they could just go in and be like |
| 2811s | looking for a plus-one or somehow that |
| 2812s | or I don't know how possible that is |
| 2817s | well making one isn't a problem but I |
| 2822s | think within it if a party could |
| 2825s | indicate even just with toggles have one |
| 2828s | want more mage one more tank whatever |
| 2835s | via the recruiting board then people |
| 2838s | might be slightly more likely to um join |
| 2840s | an appropriate party when scanning |
| 2841s | through it which might cover what |
| 2847s | they're looking for slightly more |
| 2848s | directly and of course once because if |
| 2852s | somebody actually does get into that |
| 2856s | party vial of accouting board then at |
| 2859s | least I'll know who they want to talk to |
| 2860s | rather than having to shout to anybody |
| 2862s | to try to find the person they would |
| 2863s | need yeah I just think that if someone's |
| 2866s | gonna join the group and say sorry we |
| 2867s | can you mage and he's like no I don't |
| 2869s | want a mage then I think that's also |
| 2872s | just being a bit unreasonable their |
| 2875s | magics that would be exposed for the |
| 2877s | rest of the party to see which they can |
| 2879s | accept someone on as well because they |
| 2881s | can see that so yeah I mean I suspect a |
| 2883s | lot of people and there have pretty |
| 2884s | decent stats regardless and it's not the |
| 2886s | inability to mage is gonna hold them |
| 2888s | back although apparently their refusal |
| 2890s | to do so yeah gonna move on to our next |
| 2897s | question we're actually very close to |
| 2899s | the end of our list of questions and |
| 2901s | thankfully were at the end of the stream |
| 2903s | as well but if you do have any you want |
| 2904s | to ask still at old-school RS in the |
| 2907s | chat mod Bruno will gather them for you |
| 2909s | and list them at the bottom here for me |
| 2911s | to read |
| 2911s | same as usual every stream we seen lots |
| 2914s | of questions about with higher man |
| 2915s | confirmation lover bla it we know it's |
| 2919s | something that some of you seem to want |
| 2921s | but we're not in a position yet to plug |
| 2923s | it up hole it and we're going to be |
| 2924s | doing that until we can offer the |
| 2927s | content because it's still relying on |
| 2928s | other teams work so we went off the |
| 2931s | content until we're in position didn't |
| 2932s | be able to do it our next question I |
| 2937s | thought was really nice the next player |
| 2941s | asks if the well they say that the home |
| 2943s | teleport icon is based on the standard |
| 2946s | spell book teleport could its color and |
| 2949s | style be updated to match your current |
| 2950s | spell book for example the Arceus home |
| 2953s | teleport would be a teal triangle |
| 2955s | instead of a purple circle I like that I |
| 2960s | I think that would that would look |
| 2961s | pretty cool I don't know how much we've |
| 2964s | got the graphics work for it it depends |
| 2965s | on artists I guess what they want to do |
| 2968s | I mean being relatively small icons |
| 2970s | hopefully they wouldn't be too drastic a |
| 2971s | change for them to make given that they |
| 2974s | already exist that changing it to a H |
| 2976s | seems with a bit of smoothing for the |
| 2980s | large version of the icon yeah okay yeah |
| 2986s | it's a nice little small change I think |
| 2988s | mathy doesn't change very much and I |
| 2990s | think we were saying earlier about this |
| 2991s | question players don't tend to use the |
| 2993s | home teleport on some of the other books |
| 2994s | so much as they've the standard one no |
| 2996s | it's interesting because lunar has a |
| 2998s | lunar teleport anyway to the Moon clan |
| 3000s | edgeville both you probably have it as a |
| 3002s | respawn point so killing yourself will |
| 3006s | be quicker reducing your hit points to |
| 3009s | zero will be quicker in the game in the |
| 3013s | game but as a little sort of aesthetic |
| 3017s | change if it's popular maybe you'd go |
| 3020s | ahead with say haven't got the wrong try |
| 3027s | to get to Lumbridge the wrong way so I |
| 3030s | have heard people who lost their |
| 3031s | hardcore status because they want to get |
| 3033s | the lumbridge quickly and killed |
| 3034s | themselves the 14th reason why yep |
| 3041s | moving on |
| 3043s | one player gave a number of ideas for |
| 3045s | the town of sleep such as fishing and |
| 3048s | mining spots along the coast as well as |
| 3051s | pickpocket a bull via watch at a higher |
| 3053s | high thieving level and a house portal I |
| 3057s | just wanted to comment on this because |
| 3059s | it's it's not the first time we've had |
| 3061s | players ask us if we could do more with |
| 3063s | that area it's quite a nice thematic |
| 3066s | atmospheric place but there's not a |
| 3069s | whole lot to do that all we can say for |
| 3073s | the time being is that we do have some |
| 3074s | plans for that sort of town but we're |
| 3079s | not going to go into too much detail |
| 3079s | about what those are just yet |
| 3082s | but thank you for your suggestions we |
| 3084s | wanted to just acknowledge them and say |
| 3086s | we'll be taking them into account my |
| 3088s | work highlighting that sleep is |
| 3090s | introduced with a taste of Hope which |
| 3092s | didn't quite end the questline |
| 3093s | so perhaps as the quest line unfolds |
| 3095s | forever so to all the time asleep that's |
| 3098s | absolutely true |
| 3099s | I do wonder where the heart buying these |
| 3102s | questions come from a little bit and is |
| 3103s | it just we want to make settled life |
| 3105s | easier you know I think yeah the the |
| 3108s | player who made this comment said |
| 3110s | something along the lines of in before |
| 3112s | table takes conspiracy yep for that that |
| 3115s | has been the response for a while now |
| 3116s | whenever something is suggested in the |
| 3118s | Mauretania region which is not to say |
| 3122s | we're not open to suggestions for that |
| 3123s | area but if they do sort of sound like |
| 3126s | they're designed to benefit one specific |
| 3128s | player you may consider other changes |
| 3130s | instead you keep on the other hand the |
| 3132s | fishing spots were the same ones you get |
| 3133s | on the south coast of burg to rot then |
| 3135s | it would be relatively uncontroversial |
| 3136s | yeah equally I think there are snow |
| 3139s | flake accounts popping up everywhere so |
| 3141s | it might be the case that we can't touch |
| 3143s | any bit of content lest we make one |
| 3144s | person's account easier it is |
| 3146s | interesting the influence that content |
| 3148s | creators like that have I'm sure even if |
| 3150s | we just made like pickpocket Alvira |
| 3152s | watch and it happened to have a rune |
| 3153s | crossbow on the drop table whether we |
| 3155s | wanted it or not that is just seen as |
| 3157s | like interfering with this account |
| 3158s | doctor can't do that for a reason so |
| 3160s | upsetting they're like the players and |
| 3162s | that would be a special update yeah |
| 3165s | highlight the idea eesti pontiff amp |
| 3167s | iron port or very large crossbow outfits |
| 3173s | rotten potato anyone we've had a |
| 3177s | fantastic if there's been pre possible |
| 3179s | have we know the old school if you do |
| 3182s | get one it won't do anything for you |
| 3185s | moving on to our penultimate suggestion |
| 3188s | before questions from the chat someone |
| 3192s | has asked if we could move Abigale ax |
| 3194s | yep |
| 3195s | am I saying that right Abigail Abigail |
| 3196s | ER from the northeast wall of the grand |
| 3199s | exchange to a chair in gypsy irises tent |
| 3203s | because this would fit a bit more |
| 3204s | thematically perhaps she could be |
| 3206s | Harris's understudy I'm an offer her |
| 3209s | scrying service from there instead I |
| 3210s | think you heard dialogue she says she |
| 3212s | likes trading but yes we could stick |
| 3214s | with her chair somewhere else she's also |
| 3217s | afraid of wooden lovin bridge everyone |
| 3218s | wants her she's upstairs in the general |
| 3220s | store yeah I don't know how big a change |
| 3225s | this is for people I wonder how many |
| 3226s | people are actually bothered by her |
| 3228s | being where she is she's quite out the |
| 3229s | way we can stick her more out the way in |
| 3232s | the corner in a different corner of the |
| 3233s | grand exchange where bit less visible or |
| 3236s | in a field somewhere else entirely the |
| 3239s | thought was that if you have killing |
| 3240s | time waiting for a trade-off to update |
| 3242s | you might want her services to just have |
| 3243s | a look-see at what's going on down the |
| 3245s | theater her blood so she's there because |
| 3249s | you might have time on your hands in |
| 3251s | that vicinity but whichever somewhere |
| 3253s | else I'm not so inclined to try and make |
| 3255s | her the assistant to another character |
| 3258s | who's got a huge dialogue tree from |
| 3260s | multiple quests already because if she's |
| 3262s | gonna be working for the Gypsy then she |
| 3266s | ought to the two acts you ought to refer |
| 3268s | to each other in some way and that's not |
| 3273s | something we're likely to be tying into |
| 3275s | a complex dialogue tree like nazarius |
| 3277s | has so maybe somewhere else if you don't |
| 3280s | want to at the grand exchange but in a |
| 3283s | tree down a well whatever in a chair |
| 3288s | that's the word okay and the rare drop |
| 3295s | table be updated it's no longer exciting |
| 3297s | to get a drop from it |
| 3300s | . that was that was the question it's |
| 3304s | certainly not as exciting as maybe it |
| 3305s | was when the Red Rock table was first |
| 3308s | introduced I think that's fair to say I |
| 3311s | think it should be feared about changing |
| 3313s | it it was just renamed it to the troll |
| 3314s | drop table personally like that was kind |
| 3317s | of the philosophy I had designing when I |
| 3319s | was doing fourth of stuff was oh okay |
| 3320s | everything has like a 1% chance to upset |
| 3322s | the player which is kind of very |
| 3325s | different to the rare drop tables |
| 3327s | intention so I feel like even when they |
| 3332s | get lucky people say it's unlucky |
| 3333s | because they're probably going for a pet |
| 3335s | and they got a one in several hundred |
| 3337s | thousand drop for the dragon spear or |
| 3339s | something like that right or whatever it |
| 3341s | is I think it's kind of a meme at this |
| 3344s | point in the community kind of like to |
| 3347s | laugh at people who got them yeah that's |
| 3349s | true there is so I think even if we did |
| 3351s | change it for better design purposes of |
| 3353s | actually being a rare drop table players |
| 3356s | would probably be upset that we've |
| 3359s | changed something that is been with old |
| 3361s | school for as long as they think what a |
| 3363s | number but maybe they dissect another |
| 3365s | thing being added to it I thought |
| 3367s | they're unique maybe if they were one |
| 3369s | that was suitable to get from the |
| 3371s | collegian Eric thing from any monster |
| 3373s | and a few other features of content |
| 3375s | besides the problem as well as we've got |
| 3377s | things like it's a Gore ax is that with |
| 3379s | a cord they have a who very high rate of |
| 3381s | hitting that table so if we even if we |
| 3383s | did produce a have a unique on it we're |
| 3386s | caring people into that content to farm |
| 3388s | it which is not very good content in |
| 3389s | itself it's things like that let's of |
| 3392s | made me cautious about changing the |
| 3393s | thing at all on the grounds that some |
| 3396s | you change a piece of loot code that's |
| 3399s | called by hundreds of monsters you |
| 3401s | suddenly buffed all those monsters by |
| 3403s | different amounts because they all call |
| 3407s | it with different chances especially |
| 3409s | Gore axe so I've always be a bit |
| 3412s | cautious about that one that said go |
| 3415s | back a year or so one of our team did if |
| 3419s | any substantial buff to the rare loot |
| 3422s | table and the gem table by making it |
| 3424s | always give you something rather than |
| 3427s | nothing if you've got a ring of wealth |
| 3428s | on and that makes us surprisingly a big |
| 3430s | difference to the very end of it |
| 3432s | um something I'm not sure all players |
| 3435s | really took into account because they've |
| 3437s | got rings a new combat damage instead |
| 3439s | but they're thinking about I ain't a bad |
| 3441s | thing |
| 3442s | for the rare loot table if of course you |
| 3446s | don't mind that what it's got at the |
| 3447s | bottom of it is as half a shield and a |
| 3450s | pointy stick so putting something else |
| 3454s | kind of unique down there is quite |
| 3456s | appealing to me because making the ring |
| 3459s | of wealth useful again in for that sorry |
| 3463s | I seem to be half-asleep some reason I |
| 3466s | might have to reboot after this that's |
| 3470s | alright we are nearing the end of the |
| 3471s | stream I will ask maybe one or two |
| 3472s | questions from the chat it's around |
| 3475s | things off the first is from blood dusk |
| 3478s | and they ask if we can get a DPS counter |
| 3481s | at Sawle Carnot similar to how the |
| 3482s | winter tada has the point system and |
| 3484s | Corp has a DPS counter so damage counter |
| 3492s | inside damaged rice I don't see why it |
| 3501s | couldn't be added it wouldn't be a true |
| 3505s | reflection of your actual score relation |
| 3508s | to everyone else because there's the |
| 3510s | mining part and everything in there I |
| 3512s | think gives some points on some level |
| 3514s | right that counts towards your sort of |
| 3516s | contribution yeah so someone might go I |
| 3520s | got done like ten percent of our health |
| 3522s | and there's 12 of us but why didn't I |
| 3523s | get the MVP and that might feel weird |
| 3525s | right unless we just made the points |
| 3527s | visible which I don't think we want to |
| 3529s | do probably not sure okay |
| 3534s | alright sounds like we probably wouldn't |
| 3538s | do something like that then actually if |
| 3539s | is all Connor we've on to our last |
| 3543s | question which is can you allow us to |
| 3545s | mount amulets of avarice in the lair and |
| 3547s | house for sculling I'm personally I |
| 3551s | think against this one is quite I mean |
| 3553s | it's easy enough to scale up at the |
| 3555s | urban trader who's very accessible in |
| 3557s | edgeville |
| 3559s | so I'm not keen to make the parent house |
| 3564s | any more powerful at this point yeah I |
| 3567s | mean if you've got your play on house |
| 3568s | you literally just teleport to Edgeville |
| 3569s | and he's there right I think they were |
| 3574s | hoping to get it and then go somewhere |
| 3575s | else than Edgeville or somewhere |
| 3578s | I know Karl or whatever okay all right |
| 3584s | seeing lots of those in the chat so |
| 3585s | probably won't take that one any further |
| 3587s | all right could I answer some people are |
| 3590s | asking about BOTS in a certain location |
| 3592s | specifically who's old where I seem |
| 3594s | special on the right Fred and let's dig |
| 3597s | think we're purposely ignoring it I |
| 3598s | think that's it the same answers |
| 3600s | everything report BOTS and the ICU team |
| 3602s | will know where to focus their attention |
| 3604s | they are being banned oh thank you for |
| 3608s | that yes so just before we do wrap up |
| 3612s | then I realize we're at time out of |
