I could be blind here. What happens with crates currently in the bank? Will they be deleted and the crate contents moved over to the new reward pile of todt? My HCIM has about 60 crates in the bank.
Crates that people already have will stay where they are so you will still be able to open them after the update :)
Brutal Blue Dragon, Baby Blue Dragon and Blue Dragon in the Ruins of Tapoyauik, are now all consistently weak to fire as intended.
Isn't it supposed to be water?
Thematics baaabby!
Please could you reveal the squirrel pet rate from the varlamore agility course?
It's now in the newspost but so you don't have to have a look:
Finally, the Wyrm Agility Course can give you the wonderful Squirrel Pet and here's what you can expect at a base rate:
Introducing: the Reward Pile!
I'm gonna be honest I read this as "Reward Pie" and then got extremely disappointed that I was wrong
Important feedback - will action immediately!
Does pheonix necklace and ring of life work?
Yes, these should both work within Wintertodt :)
What does a “few fletches” in between storm damage mean? Previously the target was at least one, but is it now a random small number, or a set minimum? Love everything about this update!
After you get hit, you won't get hit again for at least 10 ticks!
Mod Sarnie, hope your day is going well.
Thanks fam, it is so far and I hope your day is going well too!
This is fixed in the changelog but not the main newspost FYI^
Doubley-fixed now - this was on me and my tired baby brain - thanks for flagging!
Awesome updates, love it!
"Goading Potions are now correctly mentioned under the Dwarf Weed section of the Gielinor's flora - herbs book."
Shouldn't it be under Harralander?
Yah, this has been changed
Cheers Mod Sarnie, I'm going to celebrate reading the news post by having my lunch sandwich.
What's in the Sarnie, that's the real question?
It says Blue Dragons have a weakness to Fire. This should be Water, correct, /u/JagexSarnie?
Not within that dungeon, all the creatures are weak to fire. I will be asking the team if we can make either a subtle design change, name change or both to make it slightly clearer.
Would your guidance be to maybe give things 6 weeks, going forward, before engaging with it at all to avoid potentially wasting time? I’m one of the unlucky few that jumped in after the initial rebalance and would like to avoid this circumstance in the future. Any guidance you or the team could provide would be valuable as it would save players like myself and lot of time.
What I would say to this is that our QA team is full of fantastic people that do an amazing job on the game, and you'd be surprised to know how many things don't make it through to the live game thanks to them.
However, regardless of the amount of people or expertise in that role or of the game the J-Mods have, nothing can compare to 1000s upon 1000s of players, all with different play styles and mindsets tackling a piece of content.
With the way our game works, how old it is and just the sheer amount of content packed inside it - it's easy to see how the spaghetti of our game can create problems seemingly untouched by code we've built in. We don't set out for you lovely lot to actively find bugs/problems with content but and I can't state this enough, we truly appreciate how much you all as players respect the games integrity and are ready to shout out when you see there's a problem.
In terms of the actual question, I would highly encourage people to play on launch, but I think, and this goes for any game, always be mindful going into a new update as they might be something that is missed or tweaked incorrectly. We tend to be a bit more restrictive on content nowadays as buffs are much better than nerfs and unfortunately some things can only be cold fixed, which means waiting for the next update.
Bit of a waffle but I hope that gives you some clarity and understanding. I don't think there's anything wrong with playing content the day it comes out, just be mindful that things like this can happen. Cheers!
