Hey has it been announced that they would be reducing these? I thought they said they would a month ago and I was holding off on grinding like the raids for the kc but if they don’t plan to do it then I guess I have too

External link →Hi guys! I asked the developers about this as I know it’s highly anticipated. Polled Game improvement content generally fits outside of our bigger updates, so based on the current projects that have been going on we haven’t been able to launch it yet.
The change to KC will happen as soon as we are able to. It’s not coming next week as that is launching Guardians of the Rift. We will be looking to fit it in as soon as we can.

TL;DR: Jagex legit does not care and doesn't intend to change it anytime soon, oh look at that:
so based on the current projects that have been going on we haven’t been able to launch it yet.
Damn, launching a reduction in numerical values, that sounds f**king intense. /s

Oh that's transparent as hell, not vague at all. /s

God damn, changing something in-game for their actual player base means less than pushing advertisable content.
P.S: If someone can tell me how changing numerical values on the combat achievements is soo code breaking or such a lengthy process, I would consider it, but at this point it literally just seems like numerical changes within code.
Great that you got a reply, too bad its absolutely meaningless with an end vague statement.
It’s clear that you guys need a bit more context about this, so I’m happy to give a bit more insight if you wish. The job requires a developer to look at each task individually and make a judgement call on how much it is reduced. The work itself is changing numbers but more time probably goes into it than you think. There is no flat rate percentage for every task. Some tasks will be reduced considerably and others not so much because it’s not necessary. This is why we couldn’t give specifics in the blog about how much reduction will happen.
It needs time to be QA tested to ensure nothing unexpected happens or to ensure we haven’t missed something. Combat Achievements are quite complex and they will touch various areas of the game. Someone actually has to be testing these changes even if they are just number changes. Our QA resource has been working on so much, recently they’re focused on GOTR as they have a deadline of 23rd March for scheduled content. It’s not that one is more important than the other but Poll 76 stuff will go out when it’s ready as polled extra QoL is meant to fit around the release schedule. There no set date for it other than as soon as possible. I cannot give you dates which I do not have and can’t promise.
GOTR involves a brand new Quest and RC mini-game - consider how much QA we need to ensure this is tested. If we release too many things at once, we will not have enough resource to test all of them with appropriate quality.
That’s why poll 76 changes can either be launched after GOTR, or later if needs be. We usually reserve the week following a big update to have some time to enact feedback changes. So, it may depend on how many changes we might need to be made the week after GOTR.
The week after that is our game jam which doesn’t involve an update for that week. So I don’t personally know a date, which is why the statement is “vague”. Rest assured it has polled and passed so we are working on getting it to you as soon as possible!
