Did you update thieving too but forgot to mention or is that for next week?

Love the vanguard changes btw!

That one hasn't been done with this week's game update but it is currently being developed now so fingers crossed!

Any eta on vespula pet morph?

We had some issues with it's ready animation (as in when the player is standing still and it's not flying) hoping to iron those out with the graphics team as soon as possible and put them back into QA for testing.

Can you clarify how polls are intended to work these days? As far as I can see, every question concerning the Vanguards in the poll received a yes vote lower than 75%. Yet, todays update contains various changes to the Vanguards including guaranteeing an overload drop, despite the poll only receiving a 66% yes vote.

To be clear, I have no opinion on the change itself. Doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is the polling methodology - when OSRS released it was made abundantly clear that no updates would occur without a 75% approval rate. What's changed? This seems to be a deviation from the core beliefs that has led to the success of OSRS so far. Maybe I've missed something.

Unfortunately the poll results on the website don't factor in the skip votes (we tried fixing it once but it broke the website). If you check the poll results via the poll booth in-game you will see all of the vanguard changes did in fact pass with over 75% of the votes.

In line with the brutal green dragon being acceptable for the killing a green dragon step, would it be possible for the trimmed and god-decorated rune platebody variants to be accepted by falo the bard for his clue step?

I'll bring the suggestion forward to the developer that did the brutal green dragon change in the Friday game update review meeting and see their thoughts. Thanks for the suggestion!

Does that mean the pet with flying toggled is going to have its current sitting stance, and only fly when the player is moving?

I think it was more of just when the player was standing still the pet was jittering and glitching out as it was trying to fly. The flying morph is still expected to fly in place when a player is idle. Hope that helps!

Did you guys change the locations of crystals at "bad" crabs?

Yes, it should still be the worse crabs room, but slightly less-bad now.
