| 1s | so many players are expecting Elemental |
|---|---|
| 4s | weaknesses to be a more prominent |
| 5s | feature for these Titans you know Fire |
| 8s | and Ice you can kind of understand it um |
| 10s | can you explain a bit more maybe m daong |
| 13s | a little bit about how the approach that |
| 15s | you took in designing this encounter |
| 17s | itself yeah sure so the initial design |
| 21s | goal of this boss combat is to design |
| 24s | and engaging and fine du boss fight you |
| 27s | know teaching the gear switching skills |
| 30s | and also fill the gap of players Journey |
| 32s | you know for mid level players so you |
| 34s | know in our design the magic is actually |
| 37s | used for control the combat you know |
| 39s | like clearing the Fire and Ice obstacles |
| 42s | on the ground and also taking out the |
| 45s | mins so well the m and range are more |
| 48s | the ones used to damage the boss |
| 50s | whenever it's possible so well actually |
| 54s | we do have the elemental weakness been |
| 56s | been set on the B before but however |
| 59s | during our internal play typ it feels |
| 62s | that it may confuse the player you know |
| 64s | it might encouraging them to Casting the |
| 67s | elemental spell on the boss which might |
| 69s | not work very well because the high |
| 71s | magic defense we're putting on the BX |
| 73s | and because you know we want to promote |
| 75s | the gear switching here so and also may |
| 77s | not which means it doesn't really fit |
| 79s | into our design goals of this boss So |
| 82s | eventually we decided to remove this |
| 84s | hopefully that would give you a good |
| 86s | explanation to |
| 88s | that fair enough sense um thank you so |
| 92s | much for that uh so carrying on M I'm |
| 96s | going to hand this over to you as well |
| 99s | um so in an older blog we said that |
| 102s | players will be able to take on the |
| 103s | Titans in larger groups as well why did |
| 106s | we cut that player limit back down to |
| 109s | two yeah I think that's a very good |
| 111s | question actually so initially we did |
| 113s | plan to allow a large group of player in |
| 116s | the compact I think we allow for 20 I |
| 119s | think so how I you know during the |
| 121s | development we realize that maybe it's |
| 123s | better to utilize the design for the |
| 125s | best experience for the D for the DU |
| 128s | play so you know allowing more player in |
| 130s | the comeback know doesn't really help |
| 132s | you with that experience and also it |
| 134s | will also create some box during the |
| 136s | comeback you know with too many players |
| 139s | So eventually yes that's why we decided |
| 141s | to limit the comeback with only two |
| 144s | players |
| 146s | awesome um I feel like we we're blessed |
| 150s | answer these please do like I said drop |
| 152s | questions um in the chat we I'm going to |
| 156s | point this next one to you |
| 158s | m um so it is still early days but are |
| 162s | there any uh changes that you're |
| 164s | considering for this fight at this |
| 167s | point yeah so I think overall quite |
| 170s | happy with the fight I think there's |
| 172s | been suggestions via various sources of |
| 175s | adjusting the minions so there's no |
| 176s | attack delay on them uh and we did |
| 178s | originally have that but we we felt it |
| 180s | might be um nicer to to mix up a little |
| 184s | bit and there are some mechanics that |
| 186s | players haven't discovered to an extent |
| 189s | um with with the minions so um I don't |
| 192s | know whether I should say it or not but |
| 195s | yeah um there's a reduction in attack |
| 199s | delay when you are killing them so it is |
| 203s | you know feasible to kill them and not |
| 205s | have to wait like another four or five |
| 207s | ticks to be able to um kill them again |
| 210s | um so hopefully kind of that helps um |
| 212s | actually I'll just I'll explain the |
| 214s | mechanic because I pretty much explained |
| 216s | it but basically when you kill one |
| 218s | minion you have one attack delay or one |
| 220s | tick everyone will know them as ticks uh |
| 222s | reduced so if you use a fire spell and |
| 225s | you kill all three in one go um your |
| 228s | next attack will be three ticks sooner |
| 230s | so obviously as you probably have seen |
| 233s | you're attacking quite soon after you've |
| 235s | done one of the spells on the minions so |
| 237s | overall you are you are spending another |
| 239s | two to three ticks uh killing the |
| 241s | minions but I I think that it flows |
| 244s | quite well and if we made it zero time |
| 247s | it might be a bit op um but yeah I think |
| 250s | it works quite well so I don't think |
| 252s | we're we will change it uh maybe just |
| 255s | you know keep an eye on it for for a |
| 256s | little bit and see what what players |
| 259s | think um but yeah for for minions I |
| 261s | think uh it's it's pretty good obviously |
| 263s | we've got um some small fixes with the |
| 266s | uh hit boxes for the fire Elemental we |
| 268s | saw that that was quite big so artists |
| 270s | have looked at that and uh should |
| 272s | hopefully be able to adjust that for |
| 273s | next Wednesday um the the Looting |
| 277s | mechanics I saw some comments earlier |
| 278s | actually in the chat uh about if you're |
| 280s | soloing it you should be able to loot |
| 281s | both but no we want to make sure that |
| 284s | this is you know you're encouraged to |
| 286s | Duo it's not extremely beneficial to |
| 289s | solo we want people to go find a friend |
| 291s | and go do Duo this boss um is there a |
| 295s | way to spectate that's a great question |
| 296s | we don't have one and we probably won't |
| 297s | make one but that's awesome uh maybe ask |
| 299s | the people to dream um yeah no I think |
| 303s | overall quite quite happy with the boss |
| 305s | um can't think of there are some small |
| 308s | changes we are making and that is purely |
| 310s | based on feedback that we've seen um but |
| 314s | it's very minimal um I've seen yeah |
| 317s | again I've just seen in the chat make |
| 318s | the trade uh the pages tradable if we |
| 321s | did that we'd make a buyable like run |
| 323s | crafting like you could literally pay |
| 325s | like five Bill and then get 99 room |
| 327s | crafting instantly so I don't think we'd |
| 328s | do that but um yeah no I think overall |
| 332s | quite happy but if you do have feedback |
| 334s | about things you'd like to see changed |
| 336s | uh make sure you do leave it because |
| 338s | we're we're always reading and Gathering |
| 339s | feedback to to make these uh fights as |
| 342s | good as possible absolutely um the best |
| 345s | places for that is uh Reddit on the |
| 347s | Reddit thread um for this but also in |
| 349s | Discord um as especially the community |
| 353s | managers hang out in Discord quite a lot |
| 354s | picking up your feedback um and there is |
| 357s | actually a well you can use the game |
| 359s | update Channel but there is also a |
| 360s | dedicated um Royal Titans F thread in |
| 363s | there as well that you can use if you |
| 365s | want um so mm |
| 370s | again um is there anything that you can |
| 373s | share on the Mechanics for pet |
| 377s | rolls um |
| 379s | yeah yeah um so for the pet obviously we |
| 384s | wanted to again encourage people to do |
| 387s | it as a Duo and if you make it based on |
| 390s | contribution then you're pretty much is |
| 393s | best off just soloing well it depends um |
| 396s | but for the pet specifically um it is |
| 399s | not based on contribution there's no MVP |
| 401s | system both of you have an equal shot of |
| 403s | of getting it so the quicker you kill |
| 405s | the boss the more roles you're going to |
| 408s | have every hour so yeah you want to duo |
| 410s | with someone uh if you specifically want |
| 412s | to go for that pet as soon as possible |
| 415s | um already seen a lot of pet rolls which |
| 418s | is great to see and very of them but |
| 421s | yeah no we really again we really wanted |
| 423s | to encourage people to Duo and it just |
| 425s | felt like making that pet um more |
| 428s | obtainable in a Duo means you know pet |
| 431s | Hunters can team up with someone and go |
| 433s | for that grind together and it I don't |
| 434s | know it feels quite quite |
| 437s | nice I'm always jealous of anyone with |
| 439s | pet rolls it's like 90% of my motivation |
| 443s | with the old school is pants um awesome |
| 448s | yeah thank you so much I I think that |
| 451s | like a lot of people are going to be |
| 452s | really happy with that um yeah |
| 456s | awesome um so |
| 459s | I I'm going to jump to a question for |
| 463s | you mod daang if that's okay um so how |
| 467s | long after the fight starts can I join |
| 469s | my |
| 471s | friend yep uh well I did turn how is |
| 475s | that for now is that sound all right |
| 478s | sound I I think so okay cool all right |
| 482s | uh yes so the when the boss HP has been |
| 485s | dropped below 85% with total 60 I think |
| 489s | that give us 510 yes then you know the |
| 492s | player cannot join the arena anymore so |
| 495s | I think it's you know it's because you |
| 497s | know if we allowing player join the The |
| 500s | Comeback too late you know it cause some |
| 502s | isues for the things like reward |
| 504s | distribution do we consider like the two |
| 506s | count or not and you know also could |
| 509s | cause some problems for you know some |
| 512s | like for the the things you know like |
| 514s | some of the comeback achievement we are |
| 516s | actually currently working on so and |
| 518s | also there could be some problem with |
| 520s | the group Iron Man player you know for |
| 522s | losing their prage if player draw at |
| 526s | very later stage and ruin the comea for |
| 529s | them you know however seeing that you |
| 531s | know I think we we can try to trick the |
| 534s | condition to allow the player drawing |
| 536s | waste bosses HP a bit lower than the |
| 539s | current one if that fit better for |
| 542s | players need and I say we still need to |
| 545s | find the balance there you know like |
| 548s | they need some investigation and test |
| 550s | there but you know hopefully we can have |
| 552s | some good news for the players soon in |
| 554s | the |
| 555s | update awesome um and speaking of |
| 560s | needing a friend to do this um obviously |
| 564s | like you do see this can be a bit tricky |
| 566s | sometimes to find someone like around to |
| 568s | do these activities with um M are there |
| 573s | any plans for some sort of grouping |
| 575s | system um so that uh we don't need to |
| 578s | add everybody that you'd want to duer |
| 580s | with so you can if if you want to risk |
| 584s | it with anyone joining your your fight |
| 586s | you can just turn I believe you can just |
| 588s | turn your uh friends to on and then when |
| 591s | you go in anyone can join you so you |
| 593s | don't need to add the person but then |
| 596s | obviously you've got the risk of some |
| 597s | random person joining you obviously it's |
| 599s | not very likely happen if you've told a |
| 601s | specific person to join um so I don't |
| 603s | think we're going to specifically do a a |
| 604s | grouping system for this uh but you can |
| 606s | go to one of the royal Titans worlds I |
| 609s | think we've got four of them allocated |
| 611s | I've been using them I literally I |
| 613s | teamed up this morning before work I |
| 615s | went there I found a random person and I |
| 617s | killed the boss with them uh which was |
| 619s | great they had no idea that they were |
| 621s | playing with you know the person who |
| 623s | contributed to making it so it was great |
| 624s | and and they they were awesome they were |
| 626s | really good um uh we will be adding the |
| 629s | grouping |
| 630s | uh Clan chat uh in the near future I did |
| 633s | see a post on Reddit someone had made a |
| 635s | clan uh a friend chat sorry for people |
| 637s | to join but we will be doing that uh as |
| 639s | part of this update coming on Wednesday |
| 641s | so you'll be able to find people through |
| 642s | that as well if you don't want to go to |
| 644s | the specific allocated Words awesome I'm |
| 648s | I'm going to add in a little bit here |
| 649s | too like I do my thing where I'm like go |
| 652s | to Discord but um on our official server |
| 655s | we do have um a section where you can |
| 658s | find both Clans but also are just people |
| 660s | who are looking for a game um so you |
| 663s | could go in there and ask around and |
| 665s | people might be like willing to jump in |
| 666s | with you for a bit um definitely utilize |
| 670s | that space if you're looking for for |
| 671s | people to get uh get involved |
| 674s | with um okay I am going to jump back a |
| 679s | little bit uh MX this is another one for |
| 683s | yourself um but we've seen that some |
| 685s | players feel like they're splashing |
| 686s | often against the Titans minions um is |
| 689s | there anything that you could share that |
| 690s | might help people tweak their |
| 692s | setup yeah um so there is a system |
| 696s | behind it all and you might notice when |
| 699s | you start using more magic armor or gear |
| 703s | um you Splash less which is a crazy |
| 705s | concept um but we do have a threshold |
| 708s | which is actually 70 um so if you have |
| 710s | 70 magic accuracy um then you will never |
| 715s | Splash um and we also have like a base |
| 718s | um if you're zero or below it will |
| 720s | always be 30% so basically every one |
| 723s | magic accuracy that you have increases |
| 725s | your chance of not splashing by 1% so at |
| 727s | 70 it becomes 100% um so that's |
| 730s | literally um the yeah the the reasoning |
| 734s | behind why you might be splashing um so |
| 736s | for example what I've been doing is I'm |
| 739s | my account's pretty much at the Royal |
| 741s | Titans um uh demographic for for the |
| 744s | players um so I've been using I've been |
| 747s | camping a Defender and dragon boots but |
| 749s | then using Mystic top and bottom a |
| 751s | Mystic air staff and uh a MAG imbued |
| 754s | magic Cape so and that gets me to 75 so |
| 757s | you don't need crazy gear to be able to |
| 759s | hit that um and yeah I'm minimizing my |
| 762s | switches because obviously have to |
| 763s | switch a lot so I'm I'm just doing four |
| 765s | ways and oh yeah sorry I'm just saying |
| 768s | what the magic levels do uh they don't |
| 770s | do anything it's it's entirely obviously |
| 772s | this boss is to encourage gear switching |
| 775s | so it's entirely dependent on what uh |
| 777s | gear you're bringing |
| 780s | awesome thank you um so we started |
| 785s | talking about getting used to gear |
| 786s | switching and that's the you know main |
| 790s | aim of this I guess um where do you feel |
| 793s | like the Royal Titans slot into a player |
| 795s | Journey um is there an appetite at the |
| 798s | moment for more of these kind of bosses |
| 800s | that introduce players to fundamental |
| 802s | mechanics what we |
| 804s | thinking yeah I think so far we've we've |
| 808s | got a nice Journey right now now in old |
| 810s | school you know you start off the game |
| 812s | you go kill some goblins for a while you |
| 814s | start doing some quests then maybe think |
| 816s | okay I'm going to start doing some pvm |
| 817s | you go to scaras you go to maybe barrows |
| 821s | you go to perilous moons you get your |
| 823s | fire Cape um then maybe you go to huy |
| 826s | and then you come to the Royal Titans |
| 828s | and then you go to Zora uh and then you |
| 830s | eventually start raiding I think we've |
| 833s | got a really good path right now um so I |
| 835s | think the Royal Titans slot into that |
| 838s | part where you've gone to maybe perilous |
| 840s | moons you've got that gear to be able to |
| 842s | slay the Titans relatively easily and |
| 845s | then you can use that to go to to zra um |
| 848s | and and then keep on getting your |
| 851s | progression with like the magic uh with |
| 852s | the magic Fang to to uh make your what |
| 857s | is it Trident better yeah Trident better |
| 859s | um and then you can go do raids so yeah |
| 861s | I think it slots in nicely there um and |
| 864s | I think we've done a good job of like |
| 865s | teaching players you know we've got |
| 867s | scarus for the overheads we've got |
| 868s | perilous Moons for the movement and now |
| 870s | we've got the Royal Titans for gear |
| 872s | switching so hopefully that's a nice |
| 874s | combo to help players get to that AME |
| 877s | content for sure um seeing someone |
| 882s | asking if someone can post the Discord |
| 884s | link is literally exclamation mark |
| 885s | discard it should bring it up as a |
| 887s | command in the chat for you um okay so |
| 890s | we have been picking up some twitch chat |
| 892s | questions now um so I am going to hop |
| 895s | into those uh just jump in and answer |
| 898s | whichever ones that you would like to to |
| 902s | answer um so would you consider making |
| 906s | an update to the twin staff where it can |
| 908s | act as an infinite resource of some |
| 910s | runes Infinite Source sorry of some |
| 914s | runes uh So currently it does it acts as |
| 917s | a Infinite Source for I want to say fire |
| 920s | and water um so I think it already does |
| 924s | do that um I think in the actual fight |
| 926s | it doesn't promote swapping because you |
| 929s | have to like choose the indiv individual |
| 931s | spells but that's kind of like one of |
| 932s | the benefits of the staff um so that and |
| 935s | obviously the echo effect for for kind |
| 937s | of mid tier um spells um so yeah it is |
| 940s | already built in I wonder if if they |
| 942s | were talking about a different Source |
| 944s | like maybe like Kos runes or something |
| 946s | but that'll probably be very powerful |
| 947s | especially for like training Mage that |
| 949s | be |
| 951s | overpowered fa enough uh why did we opt |
| 955s | to make the prayer Scrolls untradeable |
| 960s | it just feels like with um rigor and |
| 963s | augury being tradable if we made these |
| 965s | prayer prayer Scrolls tradeable the |
| 968s | value of them would be relatively low |
| 971s | because if you're a normal account the |
| 974s | time it takes to get to like 77 prayer |
| 977s | for example is not that many hours and |
| 980s | obviously you can buy the best Scrolls |
| 982s | so you don't need the Scrolls so it just |
| 985s | felt like a nice way for people to get |
| 987s | um a nice upgrade to their accounts |
| 990s | without you know making the prayer SCS |
| 993s | just be really cheap and for someone to |
| 994s | just you know log in buy the scroll and |
| 998s | and use |
| 1000s | it |
| 1002s | awesome can we Mount the giant Soul |
| 1005s | amulet in our player owned |
| 1008s | houses I don't know what we've done |
| 1010s | historically for new amulets I'm going |
| 1012s | to I feel like we haven't done that in a |
| 1014s | while um and it's probably because it's |
| 1017s | quite op um |
| 1020s | you know I'm I'm personally not against |
| 1022s | it but I feel like there's probably a |
| 1023s | reason um so I don't want to step on any |
| 1026s | toes so I'm I'm going to say for now |
| 1028s | probably not um but you know maybe if |
| 1031s | there's further discussion maybe someone |
| 1033s | does as a game Jam they add all of the |
| 1035s | uh current amulets and stuff that hasn't |
| 1037s | been added to the pH to the P maybe that |
| 1039s | could happen cool I so I don't know if |
| 1042s | this one connects directly to that one |
| 1044s | it may or may not what about oh god obar |
| 1048s | oh is that how you say it of and |
| 1054s | uh got |
| 1057s | this |
| 1059s | ra |
| 1061s | Keys yeah yeah I think like we have some |
| 1066s | discussion in our design to see do we |
| 1068s | actually want to include those keys in |
| 1070s | in our part of the reward thing but but |
| 1073s | then I think the thing is there are some |
| 1076s | actually discussion about what we want |
| 1078s | to do with the Key System know some |
| 1081s | people don't like it it's it be feel |
| 1083s | knowing to actually be be trying to to |
| 1087s | grun for getting the keys there or do we |
| 1089s | actually we G there we also maybe |
| 1092s | devalue the the the other part for you |
| 1094s | get the keys there so there are a lot of |
| 1096s | potential discussion and the changing we |
| 1098s | are talking about the keys so that's why |
| 1099s | we think maybe for the realy Titan for |
| 1101s | now we just leave them as it is we'll |
| 1104s | leave that for the future you know we |
| 1107s | decided what we have to do with the key |
| 1108s | system is s and then maybe there could |
| 1111s | be something we can do |
| 1112s | there awesome also guys in the chat |
| 1115s | giving me grief for how I pronounce that |
| 1118s | there are some words that you only ever |
| 1119s | see written down okay and then suddenly |
| 1122s | you have to pronounce them and it's like |
| 1123s | nope my brain doesn't work like |
| 1126s | this um so moving on anyway um thank you |
| 1131s | so much for that though uh do you have |
| 1134s | any concerns about Mystic Vigor being |
| 1136s | quite close to arur and Power |
| 1140s | yeah I think just how Mage Works in |
| 1142s | general um they are quite close um but I |
| 1145s | think at the same time you know there is |
| 1147s | an a significant gap between them in |
| 1151s | terms of numbers um so they may not |
| 1154s | necessarily feel a massive like a |
| 1157s | massive difference right now I'm sure |
| 1158s | you know in the future if things do get |
| 1160s | reworked um not saying they are but if |
| 1162s | they do um you know then that could be |
| 1165s | like a obvious difference um but again I |
| 1169s | think think overall it's it's fine um |
| 1172s | you've still got that significant you |
| 1174s | know upgrade it is a it is going to be a |
| 1176s | boost um so it should be should be fine |
| 1180s | cool I'm going to jump us back to the |
| 1182s | staff again I probably should uh group |
| 1185s | these thematically um but going back to |
| 1189s | the staff will it ever get the passive |
| 1191s | effect on surge spells but with reduced |
| 1193s | damage |
| 1195s | percent um well so I don't think so I I |
| 1199s | think it sits nicely kind of where it is |
| 1201s | I have seen a bunch of people suggesting |
| 1203s | oh make it work for surge spells but |
| 1204s | then you do kind of just negate the need |
| 1207s | for a harmonized staff um and it does it |
| 1210s | it will just compete with that and we |
| 1211s | that's not the intent for the staff it's |
| 1213s | it's for Mid game you know it's before |
| 1216s | you get like a trident um or in the |
| 1219s | future a harmonized staff or so yeah |
| 1221s | it's it fits nicely where it is now and |
| 1224s | I don't think we should make it better |
| 1227s | or you know adust just that I think it |
| 1230s | it's pretty good where it is so I don't |
| 1231s | think we'll we'll do that cool and |
| 1234s | sticking with the |
| 1236s | staff um so this comment here says the |
| 1240s | twinflame staff has been really called |
| 1242s | to see when designing it outside of the |
| 1244s | boss what other applications did you |
| 1246s | guys see in mind for it seems like a |
| 1248s | great staff for Slayer and barrows was |
| 1250s | that an intended or unintended positive |
| 1255s | consequence yeah so the staff it was |
| 1257s | designed well it was designed in this |
| 1260s | thought process that would have the page |
| 1262s | system as well so you could get more |
| 1264s | pages from the bosses too because right |
| 1267s | now if you think about um where you get |
| 1269s | pages from you obviously get it from |
| 1271s | their current sources which is like |
| 1272s | temporus uh Huey uh and win Todd and |
| 1276s | it's quite unreliable and it can be |
| 1278s | frustrating if you actually want to use |
| 1280s | Elemental spells you have to go do a lot |
| 1283s | of that content to then use those pages |
| 1285s | really quickly so this hopefully is a |
| 1288s | way for you to get cool staff that you |
| 1289s | can use during Slayer and you can also |
| 1292s | top up those pages like whenever you |
| 1294s | want as well so hopefully for someone |
| 1297s | who's you know training Slayer doing |
| 1299s | barers um they can get that relatively |
| 1302s | early into their journey and then use it |
| 1304s | quite a bit before they end up getting |
| 1306s | like 87 Slayer for the Trident and all |
| 1309s | of that um later on in the game um so |
| 1312s | hopefully it fits in nicely there and |
| 1313s | it's a bit of fun as well it's it's very |
| 1315s | different um you never know with with |
| 1317s | RuneScape in the future what direction |
| 1320s | it's going to take you know what content |
| 1321s | there going to be that oh this could be |
| 1323s | really good like for example Zora it's |
| 1326s | very strong there because there's a a a |
| 1328s | hit cap so in the future there might be |
| 1330s | another boss that has a hit cap and then |
| 1332s | it can be used there as |
| 1333s | well |
| 1335s | awesome um me see if there's any more |
| 1339s | stuff on there is um what was the |
| 1343s | reasoning behind not giving uh the |
| 1345s | twinflame staff any magic strength |
| 1346s | whatsoever |
| 1349s | so it's similar to The Smoke battle |
| 1350s | staff where it does I think it's 10% |
| 1353s | just for Elemental spells um but I don't |
| 1355s | think we typically show that on the |
| 1356s | actual UI um so it it's got some but not |
| 1360s | for all spells um and that's again just |
| 1363s | because we want it to lean heavily into |
| 1365s | Elemental um weaknesses and and that |
| 1368s | kind of gameplay instead of making it |
| 1369s | like a just a staff you can use kind of |
| 1372s | wherever um so that was the main reason |
| 1374s | for that |
| 1376s | awesome uh thank you uh so I've got one |
| 1381s | question here is it a bug that you can't |
| 1382s | click the Fire and Ice wall to make it |
| 1384s | disappear you have to select the Spell |
| 1386s | manually um I thought it should work |
| 1390s | like the firew uh wall firew world |
| 1393s | that's a yeah and a CH |
| 1397s | Eric yeah so interesting you know that's |
| 1400s | actually we initially we set up the the |
| 1403s | fight like that so you can just one |
| 1405s | click to do the things but then we think |
| 1407s | that you know thing is we are promoting |
| 1411s | the dual play there you know having the |
| 1412s | both player to to setting on each on |
| 1415s | fire on our eyes would be helping them |
| 1417s | to you know promote this D play and also |
| 1420s | you know we have the meanings that also |
| 1422s | Fire and Ice you know if we allowing the |
| 1425s | auto click on the fire and eyes on the |
| 1428s | ground what about the minions there |
| 1429s | might be causing some we definitely |
| 1431s | don't want player to auto click the |
| 1433s | meaning to select the sorry click the |
| 1435s | meaning to Auto Select the spell for |
| 1437s | them because that would be be that not |
| 1440s | really helping with the dual play there |
| 1442s | so we think that might causing some |
| 1443s | inconsistent there and yeah so that's |
| 1446s | why eventually we got some feedback from |
| 1448s | during our uh play test internal play |
| 1451s | test in the development so that's why |
| 1453s | eventually we decided it's it be good |
| 1456s | you know player have to select the Spell |
| 1459s | manually awesome just to jump in there |
| 1462s | yeah you can i' I've seen it in chat you |
| 1464s | can just set it uh to cast on your staff |
| 1467s | and then obviously because there two of |
| 1469s | if you can just literally switch to your |
| 1470s | staff and then left click the ice if |
| 1473s | you're using fire spells and then fire |
| 1476s | if you're using water spells so if both |
| 1477s | of you have one selected then you can |
| 1479s | just literally it is okay it's not one |
| 1482s | click to get rid of it it's two clicks |
| 1485s | but it it should be it should feel |
| 1488s | fine and to add for that actually I |
| 1490s | think the T Flames is actually doing the |
| 1493s | thing you can click you just need to |
| 1495s | click it with the proper ruin there and |
| 1497s | it will be automatically select the |
| 1499s | proper spell to do that which also one |
| 1501s | of the reason we do this you know is |
| 1503s | kind of promoting the reward from the |
| 1505s | false fight is the to to inflame to |
| 1507s | helping in this SP |
| 1510s | fight cool thank you um I have seen a |
| 1515s | lot of questions in chat around drop |
| 1517s | rates um we generally will be speaking |
| 1521s | about drop rates in probably like a |
| 1522s | couple of weeks um just cuz you know we |
| 1526s | like you to go just like have fun with |
| 1528s | it um and try it out is there anything |
| 1531s | do we want I don't know this is I feel |
| 1533s | like this is unprepared but is there |
| 1534s | anything that we do want to share around |
| 1536s | drop |
| 1537s | breat I can say that um in terms of duo |
| 1542s | or solo um it doesn't necessarily matter |
| 1546s | which one you're doing um but in a Duo |
| 1548s | the fight will be much easier so in |
| 1551s | general it's like the obvious choice to |
| 1553s | go Duo obviously if you don't want a Duo |
| 1555s | then go solo but um I think just to make |
| 1558s | your life if easier much better to do |
| 1561s | yeah and just you know we will let you |
| 1563s | know the drop rates in a bit but not |
| 1567s | today um so are you happy with the |
| 1570s | amount of gear switching that's required |
| 1573s | uh with this or do you have any concerns |
| 1575s | about physical fatigue from the |
| 1576s | frequency of switches |
| 1579s | required yeah I think we've we've not |
| 1582s | we've not kind of forced people to do a |
| 1586s | lot of gear switches you can kind of set |
| 1588s | it up how you how you like you know um |
| 1591s | obviously with the magic switch um I |
| 1594s | mean I was doing four ways so I guess it |
| 1596s | all depends on individuals um but I |
| 1600s | think doing like a four-way relatively |
| 1602s | frequently it's not that bad um again |
| 1606s | really depends on on yourself uh on and |
| 1609s | how much you're used to switching |
| 1610s | obviously new players that are switching |
| 1612s | they're going to switch less items so |
| 1614s | you kind of trade off how frequently you |
| 1616s | switch for the accuracy on the minions |
| 1620s | but for the bosses themselves you know |
| 1621s | if you go there with uh a fuller clipse |
| 1624s | Set uh and then you have a oneway uh |
| 1627s | melee weapon switch that's your range |
| 1630s | and |
| 1630s | melee pretty much covered in in a oneway |
| 1633s | switch and then your Mage can be like a |
| 1636s | a three maybe four-way switch so that |
| 1638s | should be relatively easily uh to easy |
| 1642s | to manage um but obviously make sure you |
| 1645s | take breaks I know we do say it in game |
| 1646s | but if you're feeling your wrist getting |
| 1649s | hurting or something then yeah make sure |
| 1651s | you do take breaks we did actually |
| 1654s | Factor this in to the drop um rates so |
| 1658s | it's why we've not been too you know |
| 1660s | punishing for the drop rates so yeah we |
| 1662s | don't want to keep you there for way too |
| 1664s | long um and force you to constantly |
| 1667s | switch cool um would you ever consider |
| 1672s | making we kind of touched on this |
| 1673s | already a little bit um but is there a |
| 1676s | consideration at all to ever let the |
| 1678s | boss have the allow you to take more |
| 1681s | than two people to the fight basically |
| 1683s | to the |
| 1684s | boss um not at the moment I think |
| 1687s | because I think it's the design is for |
| 1689s | du players to get experience there and |
| 1692s | also like I said if you got allowing |
| 1694s | more players there might actually it |
| 1696s | doesn't help with experience but also |
| 1698s | might creating some bucks during the |
| 1699s | transition of the boss you know and also |
| 1702s | with be and also you know it's about |
| 1705s | like reward distribution it's all might |
| 1707s | be some isues there so I think it' be |
| 1709s | better just leave it as do do ball there |
| 1712s | that's also what's the the goal of the |
| 1714s | design there you know that's what we did |
| 1716s | this what this boss is for so I guess |
| 1718s | for the group Player want to play it we |
| 1720s | do have a lot of other group content for |
| 1722s | them to try or something absolutely yeah |
| 1724s | and we did kind of go over it earlier as |
| 1726s | well um so if you are kind of if you've |
| 1728s | joined us after that um the VOD will be |
| 1732s | around that you can go back and catch up |
| 1733s | on it if you would like to um should we |
| 1737s | expect a fix for quick prayers not |
| 1739s | working correctly with new |
| 1742s | prayers for that specific one I'm I know |
| 1745s | I am currently working on a Prayer job |
| 1749s | uh I'm not sure if it relates to that |
| 1751s | specific issue so whoever is saying that |
| 1754s | um issue in chat if you want to maybe |
| 1756s | give more information as to what the |
| 1758s | exact issue is that would be great uh |
| 1760s | hopefully it's covered by the the job |
| 1761s | I'm currently working on um but yeah if |
| 1764s | not it'd be great to have more |
| 1765s | information for that awesome um |
| 1769s | I've got one here that is just hard mode |
| 1771s | Titans question |
| 1774s | mark maybe yeah yeah maybe it's it's I |
| 1778s | think we got a similar question when we |
| 1779s | release the scaries about like the hard |
| 1782s | mod things I think one of the reason we |
| 1784s | didn't do that Scar and could be same |
| 1786s | apply to here is this is some content |
| 1789s | designed for the mid level players and |
| 1791s | also it could be the mechanic is there |
| 1794s | for mid level and we have a purpose of |
| 1796s | the training the gear switching there so |
| 1799s | no I don't want to just know adding a |
| 1802s | lot of HP reducing the attacking |
| 1805s | attacking rate simply just miss say |
| 1806s | that's hard mod you know I think if we |
| 1808s | want something more challenge would be |
| 1810s | something more designed for the |
| 1812s | challenge I say mhm makes yeah like like |
| 1817s | we saw with leagues um they do crazy |
| 1819s | things and they make they made those uh |
| 1823s | uh Echo bosses right so maybe leagues |
| 1825s | will will do it again or or something |
| 1827s | like that in the |
| 1829s | too |
| 1831s | awesome um okay I feel like are we are |
| 1835s | we addressing an elephant in the room |
| 1838s | here um mm do you want to to talk all |
| 1842s | about chivalry or a melee |
| 1845s | upgrade yeah so obviously personally as |
| 1848s | a p i' I'd have loved for chivery to |
| 1851s | pass uh it didn't pass a pole um so |
| 1854s | that's why it's kind of in an awkward |
| 1856s | state but um maybe in the future we |
| 1860s | could have an upgrade similar to how we |
| 1863s | did for Mystic might and eagi for |
| 1867s | ultimate strengths and I want to say |
| 1869s | incredible reflexes I might be wrong but |
| 1871s | maybe we can have an upgrade for those I |
| 1873s | did see a post where it was having them |
| 1875s | at like 55 prayer or something uh |
| 1878s | obviously not having any defense bonus |
| 1880s | but something like that from uh an |
| 1882s | encounter I'm not sure what encounter it |
| 1883s | would come from um but yeah I'm very |
| 1886s | open to that I think obviously in the in |
| 1888s | the polls that we've seen um for shivery |
| 1892s | there are quite a lot of people that are |
| 1893s | just against changing it in general um |
| 1895s | so maybe we have to go down a different |
| 1898s | route if people do specifically want |
| 1900s | them but again we'll it'll be down to a |
| 1902s | vote so if players don't want those |
| 1904s | upgrades they can vote no as |
| 1907s | well awesome thank you um grabing a |
| 1912s | question I've just seen in here will we |
| 1913s | see combat achievements for these Titans |
| 1919s | yeah we are working on the comeback |
| 1921s | treatment apparently know we we do we |
| 1923s | have comeback treatment for most all the |
| 1925s | B we've been released so that's you know |
| 1927s | that's I think people are expecting this |
| 1928s | to happen so yeah so yeah hopefully |
| 1932s | bring you more news when we get more |
| 1934s | progress on the come the comeback |
| 1936s | achievement we've been working on |
| 1939s | awesome um is there any future plans or |
| 1942s | ideas to make giant like bosses or are |
| 1945s | the Royal Titans the end for that boss |
| 1947s | type |
| 1951s | maybe yeah May who knows I mean it kind |
| 1954s | of just depends on on the vision of the |
| 1957s | game I guess um for the Royal Titan |
| 1959s | specifically you know it was kind of the |
| 1961s | obvious step because we were lacking um |
| 1964s | a um like fire Giant and Ice giant boss |
| 1967s | encounter so we've done that now but |
| 1969s | yeah maybe in the future who |
| 1973s | knows um and why do the bosses have a |
| 1977s | seven 00 plus range defense yeah range |
| 1980s | hits much better than |
| 1983s | that yeah um so obviously again we |
| 1987s | wanted to make it um a tribrid fight um |
| 1990s | so you're encouraged to do all three |
| 1992s | styles of combat um and we wanted to |
| 1995s | make sure that you couldn't just you |
| 1997s | know stand there and just range them the |
| 1999s | entire time um so we added uh some range |
| 2003s | defense so when they are close your |
| 2007s | range is not doing that much but when |
| 2009s | they are far away from you uh and I |
| 2011s | don't mean relative I don't mean you can |
| 2013s | stand like really far away from them and |
| 2015s | then when they're in mely range you'll |
| 2016s | you'll do better with range no that's |
| 2017s | not how it works when they're far away |
| 2019s | from like the middle Arena uh you'll do |
| 2022s | you their defense will be lower and you |
| 2025s | you'll be able to hit a lot more |
| 2026s | consistently and so it's just a way to |
| 2027s | try and encourage that use melee when |
| 2030s | they're close use range when they're |
| 2032s | far awesome thank you um so |
| 2038s | looking like that's the end of my list |
| 2039s | of questions that we've pulled |
| 2043s | um is there anything that we're kind of |
| 2046s | not touched on with these questions that |
| 2048s | you two would want to highlight or chat |
| 2052s | about |
| 2054s | um I don't know I mean look through chat |
| 2057s | and see any uh see any questions like |
| 2059s | you can 100% both of the entire fight |
| 2061s | yeah I think it's it goes kind of to the |
| 2064s | core of it right you can technically |
| 2066s | just use one style to kill the bosses |
| 2069s | but the overall time to do that will be |
| 2071s | a lot slower so that's why we kind of |
| 2074s | try and encourage you to do switches |
| 2077s | because overall you'll make the the |
| 2078s | fight faster for yourself um but again |
| 2081s | if you're not comfortable with that you |
| 2082s | can kind of take it at your own pace you |
| 2084s | can bring a friend with you maybe to |
| 2086s | help them or or be aided by them um so |
| 2091s | yeah |
| 2093s | awesome uh was there any others that you |
| 2096s | spotted going through |
| 2098s | the chat |
| 2101s | uh I think they were earlier for the |
| 2103s | amulet specifically if you did miss it |
| 2105s | um or be looking to um let you use the |
| 2109s | amulets um on the odd old man uh who is |
| 2113s | a keen collector of various bones and |
| 2115s | various things um and he will reward you |
| 2118s | with some big bones that you can use on |
| 2121s | uh the one remaining amulet that you do |
| 2123s | want to keep with you um so you can |
| 2125s | stock up on big bones that way instead |
| 2127s | of you know going to the hill Giants at |
| 2129s | coren that I recently visited to go kill |
| 2131s | a bunch so I could get charges |
| 2134s | um awesome um so I think this there's a |
| 2139s | question I've just B been pulled in um I |
| 2141s | think this might relate to what we said |
| 2142s | already about um just like General drop |
| 2145s | rates uh but does contribution affect |
| 2147s | your chance that a scroll or is it |
| 2149s | always equal for |
| 2151s | everyone so it's it is based on |
| 2154s | contribution but the way we've scaled it |
| 2157s | means if you're Solo or Duo it doesn't |
| 2160s | really matter because it's it's the if |
| 2163s | you're in a Solo then the kill time is |
| 2165s | going to take longer so you're going to |
| 2166s | get you're going to have a better chance |
| 2169s | of getting it but um you're going to |
| 2171s | take longer to actually get the kills |
| 2172s | whereas if you're in a Duo your chance |
| 2174s | is technically going to be worse but |
| 2176s | you're going to be getting the |
| 2177s | opportunity twice as often so it's the |
| 2179s | same so yeah a duo or solo is is is |
