| 11s | is this your first appearance yes I have |
| 13s | mod searcher hello |

| 36s | popular with you guys keep keep getting |
| 38s | it it's our best value membership |
| 40s | package at the moment we also have a |
| 43s | competition going which was announced I |
| 44s | think at the end of last year to win a |
| 47s | razor phone for playing mobile on the |
| 49s | gaming phone for details about that it's |
| 52s | exclamation mark win razor |
| 53s | that's razor as in the scooter the |
| 55s | bashes your shins in not the thing you |
| 57s | shave with and I'm going to talk to mod |
| 63s | searcher about surveys yeah hello |
| 66s | everyone I guess |
| 68s | yes surveys it's a very exciting one to |
| 71s | begin with but I guess I wanted to |
| 74s | introduce myself a little bit especially |
| 76s | because there was a lot of chatter over |
| 78s | the week about the new new scale kind of |
| 84s | piece of work that we're looking into in |
| 86s | a consultancy but I guess I just want to |
| 89s | introduce myself a little bit to begin |
| 90s | with I'm the sort of head of research |
| 94s | here at jag XO do a lot of work with the |
| 96s | old school and the rs3 teams but we're |
| 98s | here primarily talking about old school |
| 100s | some of you might be aware that over the |
| 103s | last few months we've been doing some |
| 106s | projects looking at doing some focus |
| 107s | groups which we've run for old school in |
| 109s | Leeds London and New York as well as |
| 112s | other things that we do as a company |
| 114s | which we're beginning to explore which |
| 115s | is playtesting which is in QA QA that |
| 119s | actually playtesting potentially new and |
| 122s | unannounced projects as well as surveys |
| 126s | as well and regular sort of surveys that |
| 129s | we do so what I want to do is actually |
| 132s | we're talking today |
| 134s | because we've already launched a big |
| 137s | consultation to find out with the new |
| 140s | skill what are people's actually |
| 142s | attitudes towards warding as the new |
| 144s | skill and so a number of you would have |
| 148s | received an inbox message and in-game |
| 150s | message as well it's an email link |
| 152s | asking to take part and give your |
| 155s | feedback now it was so successful and |
| 158s | there was so much conversation going on |
| 160s | on Twitter as well we're actually doing |
| 162s | a large sort of invite for another big |
| 166s | group of players to give their feedback |
| 169s | as well about warding so the emails will |
| 173s | be going out now have a sort of look in |
| 176s | the next couple of minutes it might take |
| 178s | an hour or two for we emails to be sent |
| 179s | to help if you haven't got something but |
| 181s | an inbox message in your in your in-game |
| 185s | message center than check your junk mail |
| 188s | it always goes in there and what we're |
| 190s | trying to do is we're just trying to |
| 191s | understand actually what are you |
| 194s | concerned about with warding what do you |
| 196s | think's great what we should improve and |
| 198s | change just to get a sense from you as |
| 201s | players actually what do you want from |
| 203s | warding or what you might be concerned |
| 206s | about and what we'll do following that |
| 208s | that's gonna close in the next couple of |
| 211s | days so be quick with your feedback I'm |
| 214s | then going to go in a darkened room |
| 216s | somewhere and run my magic and what |
| 228s | we're going to do is sort of get a sense |
| 229s | of actually you know what did different |
| 231s | groups what the different old-school |
| 233s | plants actually want out of this which |
| 236s | is why we're doing a random sort of |
| 238s | sample of people so you know not just |
| 240s | what did the new players think that what |
| 241s | to oklet older players what do I men's |
| 244s | think everything so we can kind of get a |
| 246s | sense of every kind of key group what |
| 250s | you actually want from warding so yeah |
| 252s | it's a fairly scientific process I have |
| 254s | a background in in in that from a |
| 256s | research perspective and we just want to |
| 258s | do things you know better and understand |
| 261s | what sounds cool I guess yeah there are |
| 262s | no warnings like one of the well you |
| 264s | know it's controversial we know it's got |
| 266s | very strong opinions on both sides it's |
| 269s | what are you one of the biggest topics |
| 270s | we've ever approached to try and Paul |
| 271s | and it will make a massive difference |
| 273s | when it comes to actually out when it |
| 275s | comes to our strategy and designing the |
| 276s | content making sure it hits the needs |
| 278s | and wants of the playerbase yeah |
| 280s | absolutely |
| 281s | I think I think it's the seriousness of |
| 282s | something as big as potentially adding a |
| 284s | new skill that demands we have as much |
| 287s | data as possible I would say to be sort |
| 291s | of informed and make the right decisions |
| 293s | something players have asked me about |
| 295s | I'm sure you've seen as well is how how |
| 299s | we select the samples but he gets asked |
| 301s | yeah so they're example lots of players |
| 303s | saying things like oh I'm in the |
| 304s | high-level community I'm surprised my |
| 306s | opinion hasn't been directly asked yeah |
| 308s | okay I mean so there's a couple of |
| 310s | things from that the first one is we |
| 312s | obviously care an awful lot about what |
| 314s | everyone thinks and so we have |
| 316s | previously been asking on Reddit and |
| 319s | doing other Q&A s and on Twitter you |
| 322s | know hitting up all the different mods |
| 324s | just giving your initial feedback and |
| 326s | thoughts the reason why what we've done |
| 330s | here is it's you know it takes a long |
| 334s | time to read through every comment and |
| 335s | if we message everyone to give their |
| 338s | feedback you might be looking at a |
| 339s | million a million and a half people |
| 341s | actually giving all their feedback and I |
| 344s | wish I could read everything but I can't |
| 347s | but what we're doing is it's it's a |
| 350s | random sample from all the different as |
| 352s | is a key sort of areas across the |
| 355s | membership so as I say those who have |
| 356s | joined maybe fairly recently through to |
| 358s | those who have joined you know way back |
| 360s | in 2013 alongside all the other things |
| 365s | so we can get a sense of what the |
| 367s | conversations are actually taking place |
| 368s | what the concerns are for like an |
| 371s | Ironman what the concerns are for a very |
| 373s | high skill player so we can kind of get |
| 375s | a sense of what we should be looking at |
| 377s | and we can then investigate that in much |
| 378s | more detail we can do all to see |
| 380s | follow-ups as well you know with key |
| 382s | groups to find out more if you haven't |
| 385s | been invited either in this round or the |
| 387s | last round I would suggest you still |
| 389s | kind keep that conversation going though |
| 391s | on the reddit subreddit forums talking |
| 395s | to you know all the mods here or |
| 397s | elsewhere on Twitter or any other form |
| 399s | of social media we |
| 400s | we want to explore this we want to |
| 401s | create something that if we do want to |
| 403s | push it to the pole that it's actually |
| 405s | going to be great and we have at the |
| 408s | moment just a dev blog kind of outlining |
| 411s | you have the bare bones of it and so a |
| 412s | lot of this is actually going to help |
| 414s | inform what warding will eventually be |
| 416s | Paul is right now that concepts they can |
| 418s | become they can completely be |
| 419s | shape-shifted into exactly what you want |
| 421s | it to be yeah I mean that was that was |
| 423s | the point from the beginning which was |
| 424s | give you guys the foundation the idea |
| 427s | that we've got and then let you build it |
| 430s | with us help us I was with the design |
| 431s | what you think should be in it you know |
| 433s | it's in the players hands as is well |
| 435s | everything old-school so and if people |
| 438s | actually genuinely are interested in my |
| 440s | sampling method I am very happy to spend |
| 443s | some time on Twitter telling you what a |
| 445s | random stratified sample actually looks |
| 447s | like didn't realize that after uni I'd |
| 450s | be explaining that to gamers but it's |
| 452s | great it's perfect but it's it's you |
| 458s | know it's trying to be a bit more |
| 459s | scientific and trying to be a bit better |
| 461s | about actually what what different play |
| 463s | groups want rather than something that |
| 464s | comes as as a total surprise and not |
| 467s | just the loudest people who shout always |
| 469s | get hurt it's it's trying to open that |
| 471s | up a little bit more really so yeah if |
| 475s | you are interested you can find me on |
| 476s | Twitter on Jagex searcher so varied Club |
| 481s | it's at Jagex searcher for any questions |
| 483s | about surveys things of that nature how |
| 486s | the collecting data and researching |
| 488s | these are these things okay well thank |
| 491s | you for your time that's cool |
| 493s | yeah interestingly enough there are a |
| 495s | couple other things I did want to |
| 496s | mention very briefly before so I don't |
| 500s | take over the whole show there is |
| 502s | something else that we are looking at |
| 504s | doing in the next couple of weeks I'm |
| 508s | gonna make an announcement and send out |
| 510s | an inbox to old school runescape players |
| 513s | who are based around California we |
| 515s | actually have a very small project that |
| 517s | we're doing that we are going to be |
| 520s | asking old school players for the help I |
| 523s | will make an announcement I will do the |
| 525s | same as what we've done previously we |
| 527s | will send an inbox message and an email |
| 529s | inviting people to take part and if they |
| 531s | want to express interest in being |
| 533s | involved |
| 533s | this I can't see anything else at the |
| 536s | moment one of the things that we're |
| 538s | trying to do is just introduce a more |
| 540s | kind of outwardly looking research |
| 543s | process as well as other things that |
| 545s | we're doing I come from a very heavily |
| 547s | research orientated background and part |
| 549s | of that is actually communicating a lot |
| 551s | better about what we do so I'm very keen |
| 554s | to be talking about that also if I have |
| 557s | the time later on in sort of the next |
| 561s | month or two there's going to be a large |
| 562s | survey taking place as well much more |
| 564s | about your overall experience of playing |
| 566s | there old school and finding out much |
| 569s | more about what you would like to sort |
| 572s | of see what you experience with old |
| 574s | school with jagex and what support you |
| 576s | you actually need and then finally I |
| 579s | know a lot of people are actually asking |
| 580s | about that big survey that we did at the |
| 582s | end of last year yes what I'd really |
| 585s | like to do in my role is is start |
| 588s | telling people a lot more about the date |
| 591s | that we've got so hopefully in the next |
| 593s | couple of weeks or month or two we'll |
| 595s | get more information back to the place |
| 596s | percent about what's going like a |
| 598s | solution yeah I remember after we did |
| 599s | the big survey a lot guys are asking |
| 601s | what can we see you know resulted from |
| 604s | that and how is that going to inform our |
| 605s | changes um so something will make sure |
| 607s | to include you guys on well if that was |
| 610s | everything yeah that's it yeah |
| 611s | filling event that's cool thank you very |
| 614s | much thank you cool cool so the only |
| 617s | other announcements for the time being |
| 619s | we have Corps month coming up obviously |
| 622s | we're putting together the call |
| 624s | suggestions at the minutes we've been |
| 626s | looking at the backlog we've been |
| 627s | looking at your suggestions putting them |
| 628s | together it's gonna take the format of |
| 630s | four separate weeks I believe in the |
| 633s | order of combats skilling rerun which is |
| 637s | to pull things that didn't quite make it |
| 639s | before but needs to be brought up again |
| 640s | just to see if you guys feel differently |
| 642s | now and the final one Oh blimey was it |
| 647s | can someone help me other other yeah |
| 649s | other other change well so we'll be |
| 654s | asking for your guys's opinions and help |
| 655s | on what you want in game called wise |
| 658s | over the next four weeks and we'll be |
| 660s | rolling them out in separate separate |
| 661s | polls |
| 664s | [Laughter] |
| 668s | [Music] |
| 669s | so I think that's it in terms of |
| 672s | announcements |
| 674s | I guess we'll move on to the questions |
| 676s | so we've got we've got a whole bunch |
| 679s | that's mod math joining us on the chat |
| 682s | thank you very much |
| 684s | so our first bunch of questions are |
| 686s | regarding song of the elves the big |
| 688s | Elfquest written by mod ed which is |
| 690s | coming up before you couldn't join us on |
| 692s | the couch this week but hopefully we'll |
| 695s | be able to ask these questions for you |
| 698s | the first one being from storm crown who |
| 700s | asks if we could get Crystal secateurs |
| 702s | as an upgrade from the magic secateurs |
| 704s | instead of another herb patch and |
| 706s | nothing I've seen this quite a bit I |
| 708s | think as far as ed and I were discussing |
| 710s | earlier it's something that we'd prefer |
| 712s | to see come from more directly farming |
| 715s | related content to say if we were to |
| 716s | introduce Fairy Tail part free in the |
| 719s | future I think that would be a more |
| 721s | fitting place than some of the elves for |
| 722s | crystal sectors offer upgraded |
| 725s | secretaries that's fair on the topic of |
| 728s | secretaries I'd like to make them work |
| 729s | from your inventory |
| 732s | I think I think I've made my feelings |
| 735s | about that clear but that's fair enough |
| 740s | I mean if we did get an item like that |
| 742s | how much more yield that we we talking |
| 745s | what do you think's reasonable what |
| 746s | extra 5% something like that maybe yeah |
| 751s | no okay we really be helping farming at |
| 755s | all herbs a lot yeah especially rather |
| 757s | than new yields yeah anima patch things |
| 760s | as well like I don't know if we need to |
| 762s | add it much further |
| 763s | and on a similar vein of the same reason |
| 766s | that the spelling of the community |
| 767s | feedback for not doing another patch |
| 769s | it's like firstly there's a lot to go |
| 771s | around and secondly obviously generates |
| 773s | more herbs I don't want to spoil |
| 776s | anything right now but there have been |
| 778s | suggestions for different types of |
| 780s | patches that could replace the patch if |
| 782s | that's something you really guys aren't |
| 784s | interested in having there have been |
| 787s | some cool suggestions keep an eye out we |
| 788s | like some of them and may may work on |
| 790s | them stone jay-ar says that there's an |
| 794s | agility icon on the proposed prif map is |
| 797s | this a new agility course |
| 799s | is the question also black black |
| 801s | graceful is the question to address it |
| 806s | in two parts black graceful no not from |
| 808s | frivolous it's just not something that |
| 811s | fits proof for this would rather have it |
| 812s | come from a bit something a bit more |
| 813s | fitting safe it was for example an |
| 816s | agility course in Maya ditch would be a |
| 818s | bit more a fitting location to unlock it |
| 820s | and the map itself of the agility icon |
| 824s | so that was drawn up |
| 827s | so before runefest before all of the |
| 829s | design had gone into proof earnest so it |
| 832s | hadn't been so fully decided basically |
| 835s | just keep in mind there's the second |
| 836s | poll going to be coming at some point in |
| 837s | the future which will have a lot more |
| 839s | content and that may well be one of the |
| 841s | things on it but it's not something that |
| 842s | we're working on just yet or something |
| 843s | that's included in the current poll okay |
| 846s | there we go I think was mod race like |
| 849s | the black graceful question in again to |
| 852s | these questions I need that button that |
| 854s | we had we had that a few weeks ago just |
| 856s | for time we've been asked about black |
| 860s | raising mozzies ed says this quest would |
| 864s | be a great opportunity to take out |
| 865s | nightmare zones crystal stats |
| 867s | degradation perk and put it somewhere |
| 869s | more meaningful a rare reward from the |
| 872s | gauntlet could be an example for a |
| 874s | specific kind of crystal that could be |
| 876s | used on the crystal weaponry or shield |
| 878s | to prevent them losing their stats when |
| 879s | they degrade how do we feel well I think |
| 885s | this will be nice it would also lock it |
| 888s | behind a very high level quest |
| 889s | whereas now is not much of a requirement |
| 892s | so I like it but it's a pretty big quite |
| 897s | a pretty big requirement or a lot of |
| 899s | stuff right now which is really readily |
| 901s | available for everyone that's true I |
| 904s | mean I I'm of opinion my my zones |
| 907s | already strong we all know that so any |
| 909s | opportunity to move some of the rewards |
| 911s | away from the shop and to somewhere more |
| 912s | fitting is something we should take |
| 915s | advantage of I don't mind them being |
| 918s | locked behind the quest to be fair I |
| 919s | think that's that's fair it's gonna be |
| 921s | all about crystal equipment armor and I |
| 922s | mean for matically it's definitely a |
| 924s | sort of fitting location to put in that |
| 925s | reward and it's something that if the |
| 929s | community were really interested in that |
| 931s | we could have |
| 932s | look to offer in pole to cool so moving |
| 937s | on I don't know if we're gonna be able |
| 940s | to show an image or not I didn't warn |
| 943s | our producer in time so the crystal |
| 977s | quiver suggestion is something has come |
| 978s | up if we could put that up that'd be |
| 981s | cool so the hopefully will come up for |
| 985s | you guys in a sec the idea behind this |
| 986s | is an item that you can equip in your |
| 988s | ammo slot and it will buff the crystal |
| 990s | crystal bow and you want to we could you |
| 996s | know stick this in the in the pole if |
| 998s | you guys think it's good yeah seeing |
| 1001s | also yes is in the chat what do you |
| 1002s | think about an item like this guys |
| 1007s | having a read of the stats it gives it |
| 1012s | seems reasonable thing I do like this |
| 1013s | table book and we could easily have a |
| 1015s | more powerful version as for the stats I |
| 1017s | don't know if I actually like comparing |
| 1019s | it to yeah alternatives |
| 1021s | I can't measure is gonna come close the |
| 1022s | blood type and D book but no certainly |
| 1026s | be nice to make the crystal bone more |
| 1027s | viable yeah something along these lines |
| 1030s | could be a nice way to do it seeing lots |
| 1032s | of positivity in the chat so I think |
| 1034s | this or bottom point on the image there |
| 1036s | is a pretty important one that you |
| 1038s | wouldn't be able to protect it as well |
| 1039s | as the press so bow if you were scold in |
| 1041s | PvP because people know that a lot of |
| 1045s | people like to go into the wilderness |
| 1046s | orange PvP wells with just a crystal bow |
| 1048s | and maybe black dragon hide yeah and we |
| 1051s | don't want it to be adding another white |
| 1052s | in fact they can protect yep sure yeah |
| 1055s | and that gives it a nice anchor as well |
| 1056s | in terms of its value |
| 1057s | so yeah we'd like the suggestion might |
| 1060s | include goose says |
| 1063s | that having the teleport crystal three |
| 1065s | different crystal seeds and crystal |
| 1067s | shards seems a bit convoluted this |
| 1070s | person well they have a bunch of crystal |
| 1072s | seeds in their Bank doing nothing |
| 1073s | because they already have all the |
| 1074s | crystal equipment is there a solution |
| 1076s | for simplifying the concept and actually |
| 1078s | giving the crystal seeds we currently |
| 1080s | have more users so with the things that |
| 1085s | those new proposed seeds the equipment |
| 1087s | seed fiamma seeds |
| 1088s | everything like that intended for we do |
| 1092s | really need sort of the different types |
| 1094s | of see there needs to be that difference |
| 1095s | in them and so we couldn't have the |
| 1097s | existing crystal seeds fill that gap but |
| 1099s | personally you know I know editors as |
| 1101s | well I'm open to any other uses we could |
| 1104s | find for the existing crystal seeds I |
| 1107s | think one example that we saw |
| 1110s | suggestions of would be the crystal tree |
| 1113s | I mean they sort of exist in law and it |
| 1116s | seems like a fitting use for them yeah |
| 1120s | well I said I wouldn't spoil I suppose |
| 1122s | I'll go into it now because it's |
| 1123s | relevant |
| 1124s | yeah the crystal crystal tree was one of |
| 1125s | the suggestions to put in proof rather |
| 1128s | than the patch which we saw and it makes |
| 1130s | sense to proceed get a crystal tree |
| 1132s | which you could then chop to get the |
| 1134s | shards which I think what you used to |
| 1137s | fuel the the equipment it'll make sense |
| 1141s | thematically that's a sick idea |
| 1142s | I think it's cool I think it's really |
| 1144s | cool streaming up an image it's |
| 1145s | somewhere on reddit but it looks really |
| 1149s | good and I think it just fits really |
| 1150s | smoothly |
| 1152s | so from res Bob they say you just |
| 1157s | discuss on a recent QA how D hide is an |
| 1160s | issue with its defensive bonuses and |
| 1162s | zero negatives why does the crystal |
| 1164s | armor have prayer bonuses and 0 negative |
| 1166s | bonuses |
| 1168s | I've got no hear from mod IDI who wasn't |
| 1172s | able to make it but to the quick look |
| 1173s | and answered some of these questions |
| 1174s | his stance is that the problem with D |
| 1177s | hide is how easy it is to get and that |
| 1180s | crystal arm is a different case because |
| 1181s | it's going to be quest locked not only |
| 1183s | behind all of the well we're talking |
| 1185s | underground perhaps we're talking more |
| 1186s | example to and then the requirements |
| 1188s | which are going to be reasonably high |
| 1190s | for some of the elves |
| 1193s | and it's also going to degrade so we |
| 1195s | feel like it's far more reasonable in |
| 1197s | this instance there's still room for for |
| 1199s | balancing and changing things |
| 1202s | rufa balancing things and changing |
| 1204s | things you based on your guys's feedback |
| 1206s | adjusting reasonable to you guys yeah I |
| 1210s | mean there's like a firehouse or barrier |
| 1212s | for entry for this arm and then there is |
| 1213s | fir dragonhide right it's not just that |
| 1216s | although I believe I'm not entirely sure |
| 1219s | what I'm head I believe the seeds |
| 1221s | themselves that will be used to make the |
| 1223s | armor will be tradable but to actually |
| 1225s | get the army you'll need to be able to |
| 1227s | create it yourself which will require |
| 1229s | some of the elves among other things so |
| 1232s | I mean yeah it's a lot more difficult to |
| 1234s | get your hands on then |
| 1235s | black dragon hide which is a few K on |
| 1238s | the g8 yep yeah yes I think the |
| 1242s | accessibility makes it makes it |
| 1244s | different in this case and we think more |
| 1246s | more justified I'm just clarifying with |
| 1250s | mod Mazie's on the chat so I don't think |
| 1255s | it's necessarily quite the same but one |
| 1259s | of the questions that came up which |
| 1262s | we're going to put in the poll is |
| 1264s | blessed 'hide Maconie has a defense |
| 1267s | requirement unlike the other di chaps |
| 1272s | parts so we're gonna Paul removing that |
| 1276s | I think it doesn't seem reasonable to |
| 1277s | have such high requirement on those just |
| 1280s | for I think it's what I plus 1 prayer |
| 1281s | bonus but yeah that's d hide for you |
| 1286s | lots of nodes in chat but well we'll see |
| 1288s | what the wider community think for the |
| 1290s | time being the lid if I thought on |
| 1294s | making the gauntlet scale for groups 1 |
| 1295s | to 4 sounds like some great content and |
| 1298s | reminds me of a PVM stealing creation my |
| 1301s | favorite part of stealing creation was |
| 1302s | always playing with friends |
| 1303s | I'd love to recapture some of that |
| 1305s | nostalgia with this new content the |
| 1307s | group aspect of dungeoneering was |
| 1308s | similarly my favorite part so how do you |
| 1312s | feel about who possibly making the gone |
| 1313s | at more of a group activity or even just |
| 1316s | having a group option so as I see it I |
| 1320s | mean move in the past couple of years |
| 1321s | we've had two packs of raids come out |
| 1324s | we've had the faithful blood and the |
| 1325s | teams as Eric which |
| 1326s | both of big group challenges like that |
| 1329s | whereas the only solo challenge sort of |
| 1333s | beyond just a boss on its own that we've |
| 1335s | had in a long time is the inferno and I |
| 1339s | think we want this to feel that kind of |
| 1342s | gap of being a challenge that's more |
| 1343s | than a boss for solo players but not |
| 1347s | quite at the same height as the inferno |
| 1350s | yeah that's reasonable to me in in my |
| 1354s | dad's notes he's written that the |
| 1356s | gauntlet wasn't originally pitched and |
| 1357s | designed as a solo play experience but |
| 1361s | if there was enough demand to offer a |
| 1363s | group a group version or a group way to |
| 1366s | play the content that we're open to that |
| 1369s | we just want to to be clear which |
| 1372s | elements of group play you guys are keen |
| 1374s | on if it turns out most of you are but |
| 1377s | some I mean do you think you think |
| 1380s | there's a good balance at the moment of |
| 1381s | group group content to single play |
| 1383s | content obviously we have raids being |
| 1385s | the example in it but they're quite well |
| 1393s | gap from both sides like while we've did |
| 1397s | our group content it's been raids |
| 1399s | focused I would like to offer at some |
| 1402s | stage I don't know when but like I think |
| 1403s | there's a big gap for a standard boss |
| 1406s | that's group based a grinding bother you |
| 1408s | just gonna kill but he can't cope or God |
| 1411s | war style for groups we don't have |
| 1414s | anything like that Corp is cops all |
| 1417s | right but it doesn't offer the same |
| 1419s | level of different interesting mechanics |
| 1421s | like that the bosses in raids do so it |
| 1425s | was fairly good on Slayer bottlers etc |
| 1428s | but outside of that again it's quite |
| 1429s | limited so there's definitely scope for |
| 1433s | for more group things yeah this may or |
| 1435s | may not be the place just depending on |
| 1437s | how the design shapes rick doe wants to |
| 1441s | know that the estimated XP rates for the |
| 1444s | new skilling boss the long short of this |
| 1447s | is a be released name we have his name |
| 1450s | it's all car know is there's the new |
| 1452s | mining skilling boss that we'd like to |
| 1454s | include in song of the elves in proof |
| 1456s | it's not designed to be this is my |
| 1458s | understanding it's not it's not designed |
| 1460s | to be a source of experience it's not |
| 1462s | going to be a place to Train mining room |
| 1463s | graph green crafting and smithing don't |
| 1465s | be trace amounts of XP but very small |
| 1468s | the whole point is resources and unique |
| 1470s | rewards yes so it's kind of you need to |
| 1473s | think of it more as a boss than a |
| 1474s | training method so in the same way that |
| 1476s | you don't go to say so real general grad |
| 1479s | or to train your combat stats you |
| 1481s | weren't going here to specifically train |
| 1483s | your stats you were to be going here to |
| 1486s | treat it as a boss cool and yeah I think |
| 1491s | we're pretty firm on that we don't want |
| 1492s | it to be maybe say a training method |
| 1494s | it's gonna be resource based so don't |
| 1497s | expect it to be the new meta for |
| 1499s | training room crafting for either of the |
| 1502s | other skills and the last question |
| 1504s | regarding song of the elves is from rich |
| 1506s | who asks for details of Guam is asking |
| 1510s | for the details of the generous new drop |
| 1513s | table coming with the gauntlet well the |
| 1516s | main thing coming from that is going to |
| 1517s | be the crystal armor right that's gonna |
| 1519s | be the source of it and editors noted |
| 1524s | that it's not likely that will reward |
| 1526s | other mid high content due to the fact |
| 1529s | that you're not actually risking items |
| 1530s | when you when you go there it's not |
| 1533s | strictly a safe safe zone I think but no |
| 1537s | if you die in the gauntlet is the |
| 1539s | dangerous death right so there we go |
| 1542s | it's crystal armor that you'll be |
| 1544s | getting from that content in in |
| 1546s | particular moving on to more general |
| 1549s | questions now then sting wants a new |
| 1553s | sound the special attack of dragon claws |
| 1555s | because it currently uses the DDS sound |
| 1559s | what kind of sound it's like a we should |
| 1576s | demonstrate and make the sound where's |
| 1580s | the dude yes I've got DDS no bear claws |
| 1583s | yes too far away the rights aren't |
| 1585s | Wireless |
| 1588s | they'll get the clothes okay yeah that's |
| 1591s | that's a suitable suggestion yeah it |
| 1595s | does like the same sound cooler checked |
| 1596s | before coming down like really I does so |
| 1599s | a pretty sure it was back in the day |
| 1602s | back when they were first added in a way |
| 1604s | I can't remember |
| 1606s | regardless I'm sure the audio team would |
| 1608s | happily create custom sounds for it okay |
| 1610s | right well yes we'd like to do that mist |
| 1615s | is asking if a slight nerve to the |
| 1617s | blowpipe is ever going to be considered |
| 1619s | I think we answered this not only on |
| 1622s | last week's stream but several times it |
| 1627s | we would have to run it by the whole |
| 1629s | community basically as long a short of |
| 1630s | it a lot of people well myself included |
| 1633s | to think it is too powerful especially |
| 1636s | for the cost but it's the question is |
| 1638s | how you go about noting it I think a |
| 1640s | decrease in the attack speed would be |
| 1642s | too much |
| 1644s | I'm thinking maybe produce the the |
| 1646s | accuracy something in all those lines |
| 1648s | how do we be an agreement that it |
| 1651s | deserves a tiny numbers I'm kind or yeah |
| 1654s | placer okay so yes we'll consider it I |
| 1659s | guess there's something with all this |
| 1661s | thinking about I mean not just blow |
| 1663s | fiber I mean as a whole obviously |
| 1664s | integrity of the game is important |
| 1667s | we'll need to consider what is harming |
| 1669s | it and long term that's actually |
| 1672s | blocking us from making content written |
| 1675s | properly because we always have to cater |
| 1677s | to these problems of certain items that |
| 1679s | are way too powerful but that's not the |
| 1682s | same we're gonna fit next week we will |
| 1685s | chat with you guys if we were to put |
| 1687s | something like that yeah because |
| 1689s | obviously would change well just so much |
| 1691s | it's become such an embedded item at |
| 1693s | this point yeah it's been this is all |
| 1695s | working out start 2015 when I for years |
| 1698s | since it came out and it's been this |
| 1699s | powerful that's a long time so it's not |
| 1702s | something we're just gonna approach |
| 1703s | lightly we would work with you guys and |
| 1705s | we know so many of you would prefer just |
| 1708s | keep their blowpipe and use it because |
| 1709s | it's powerful but it's difficult and |
| 1713s | also I don't really know what the best |
| 1715s | solution is for nothing it even if we |
| 1716s | were to okay so that's that's our |
| 1720s | and therefore typing on them on the |
| 1721s | blowpipe debate Scully says that when |
| 1726s | you're slashing webs I think not just in |
| 1729s | the world but generally you have to |
| 1732s | equip a weapon to slash them will have a |
| 1733s | knife in your inventory can we do it |
| 1738s | with well slashing weapons can they work |
| 1739s | from the inventory for cutting webs is |
| 1742s | the question yeah cuz we really equip |
| 1745s | something or use it on the web |
| 1747s | yeah it would be nice it's already about |
| 1750s | a slush option I don't see any problem |
| 1752s | with this just maybe include it in |
| 1754s | qualen yeah unless we see any well can |
| 1758s | think of any issues I think so cool |
| 1762s | probably happy to do that then the same |
| 1764s | player has asked if we can make fish |
| 1766s | chunks from aerial fishing available for |
| 1769s | use to feed to cats and kittens sure why |
| 1775s | not I guess I feel strongly about |
| 1782s | keeping a stackable that is a lot |
| 1785s | suckable foodie here already yeah no |
| 1787s | believe can use Koran 1g yes he can |
| 1790s | those iron man who donate caps for death |
| 1793s | wounds |
| 1794s | yeah again I have no strong feelings one |
| 1798s | way or the other |
| 1804s | mud Bruno mentioned the fact he can |
| 1809s | [Laughter] |
| 1812s | include both pets offered for a two |
| 1819s | hundred for a cat think two hundred for |
| 1822s | a cat given your boss played pet worth |
| 1833s | twenty K through a difference what's |
| 1837s | more important to you donate part Chad's |
| 1841s | I like just some people would be like |
| 1845s | well the pets only cosmetic |
| 1847s | twenty care definitely that's good money |
| 1848s | you know if you're going for like the |
| 1850s | top level |
| 1853s | it's gear from Chompy birds that's a lot |
| 1856s | of pets you'll get so maybe balance it |
| 1861s | to give like I don't know one care many |
| 1864s | wait this was the more Hajduk but right |
| 1868s | where was I Oh Legends tale asks if we |
| 1872s | can allow the - leprechaun to store |
| 1874s | without having to unequipped them first |
| 1878s | additionally can the restriction of |
| 1880s | diving underwater with approved weapons |
| 1882s | already wielded like the sector's be |
| 1884s | allowed to part a question so right now |
| 1890s | when you go down it tells you you've got |
| 1893s | to have your hands-free cuz he gonna be |
| 1894s | you know for the cool dining right |
| 1896s | diving I thought that money are down I |
| 1900s | think it's unlikely Lansky on ground oh |
| 1903s | he's swimming when you learned okay |
| 1907s | right just wait dependent okay there |
| 1912s | might be a solution somewhere fear heavy |
| 1914s | LFO you're gonna land we let you just |
| 1915s | keep the eight a month in the first |
| 1917s | place |
| 1917s | but yeah cool yeah I think we're open to |
| 1922s | it not they're positing whilst you're |
| 1925s | wearing it I mean it's not just do one |
| 1927s | more quick and also there's a leaf it |
| 1929s | was anything else we can save some |
| 1931s | precious tix here though |
| 1932s | precious precious ticks or an equip it |
| 1934s | whilst you're running through at all |
| 1935s | yeah macdaddy o22 says can we change the |
| 1942s | u.s. flags in the world selection |
| 1944s | screens to make the east and west coast |
| 1945s | distinguishable it would be a nice way |
| 1947s | for anyone on either side of the country |
| 1949s | to know which world is better |
| 1955s | that would be a nice change I list all |
| 1958s | of that concern through busy fixing them |
| 1960s | like flags on the wall select screen we |
| 1964s | make them he's in West Coast Pacific I |
| 1966s | don't think it's something that we have |
| 1968s | control over from the game side is it |
| 1970s | yes I'm I don't know what information we |
| 1973s | get about those worlds and you do we |
| 1974s | know that they're just us is that what |
| 1977s | we know I believe there's a ongoing job |
| 1982s | that the engine team are going to be |
| 1983s | undertaking over the course of some |
| 1986s | undefined time which will allow us more |
| 1988s | control over these sorts of things but |
| 1989s | right now it's not something that we as |
| 1992s | a team have control over the worlds that |
| 1994s | run the login screen we can't do |
| 1995s | anything about the world Fortran game |
| 1997s | perhaps you can do more with mmm okay so |
| 2000s | potentially it just requires better work |
| 2002s | and looking in to reach for the sky it's |
| 2007s | possible to toggle which login screen to |
| 2009s | use I've seen actually this suggestion |
| 2011s | on might have been the same player or |
| 2012s | not cause we've had quite a few |
| 2014s | different login screens now all of them |
| 2016s | look amazing so I think I think the |
| 2019s | feeling is that it's ashamed to retire |
| 2020s | them never be seen again |
| 2023s | so maybe giving our players the option |
| 2025s | to well to toggle through them and |
| 2027s | choose which which one say they want to |
| 2028s | see when we get so our locking screen |
| 2031s | currently much the last question the |
| 2033s | login screen in world select feature are |
| 2035s | currently hard-coded inside the engine |
| 2036s | which means it's a lot were to go and |
| 2039s | add these features however at some point |
| 2042s | we'll do B are going to be D hard coding |
| 2044s | it which will allow us to completely |
| 2046s | customize it make tweaks and fixes to it |
| 2049s | a lot more quickly but that will include |
| 2051s | rewrite in that world switcher so that |
| 2054s | we can make it look a lot nicer give you |
| 2057s | more information without having a hopper |
| 2058s | over the world's first set favorite |
| 2060s | worlds all of these features as well and |
| 2064s | customize the login picture if you so |
| 2066s | wish these are the sort of things we can |
| 2069s | approach Morton |
| 2071s | cool I have to say I really like the |
| 2073s | latest one from the Cowboys comma thing |
| 2076s | it looks amazing |
| 2076s | might be my favorite with the smoke room |
| 2079s | in the background in the blue the blue |
| 2080s | lava looks sick |
| 2083s | so corpse layer asks if I'm mobile the |
| 2087s | chat box can be flipped upside down this |
| 2089s | would get the tap the chat line at the |
| 2090s | top of the screen instead of near the |
| 2092s | middle so this is actually something |
| 2095s | that myself and my dad looked at back |
| 2097s | when we were working on mobile coming up |
| 2098s | to the full commercial launch of it and |
| 2101s | it's kind of two sides to it the first |
| 2103s | being quite simply that it's not as |
| 2106s | straightforward as people might expect |
| 2109s | suggest mirror it and it is there's a |
| 2113s | lot more work behind it than that it's |
| 2115s | something that we experimented with but |
| 2119s | you know it's not gonna be a quick thing |
| 2121s | the second thing being that it would |
| 2123s | just be very confusing from user |
| 2125s | perspective in certain cases aside from |
| 2129s | just the fact that you'll be reading in |
| 2131s | the opposite direction there's all |
| 2133s | messages in game that get sent in two |
| 2135s | parts and there'd be coming out the |
| 2137s | wrong way I suppose or like compared to |
| 2141s | if you've got two separate messages or |
| 2142s | one message split between two lines |
| 2143s | they'd behave differently and it would |
| 2146s | just be very confusing oh god if the |
| 2151s | message of the other way around to live |
| 2153s | message you have to read upwards |
| 2155s | yeah that would be weird wouldn't it |
| 2157s | yeah I think I suppose that's one of the |
| 2160s | tricky things with mobile is some |
| 2162s | players want some very specific or |
| 2164s | something very specific in the way it |
| 2167s | looks I guess but then you know |
| 2171s | something you have to consider for |
| 2172s | everyone I think there was another chap |
| 2174s | to stay the same direction but move to |
| 2176s | click to type to where you put your |
| 2178s | message into the top yeah because it is |
| 2180s | a point that it is easy to click miss |
| 2182s | click it what are you running on things |
| 2184s | so you're typing in the keyboard pop |
| 2187s | something like so maybe that's more |
| 2192s | approachable then we reorder which way |
| 2194s | the chat goes right yeah now you're not |
| 2195s | more reasonable cool doctor storms in |
| 2200s | wants to be allowed to use |
| 2202s | transformations such as the monkey |
| 2204s | Gregory's or penguin suits well |
| 2207s | everywhere |
| 2208s | perhaps as a perk of the quest Cape the |
| 2211s | magic of the Grigri only works in very |
| 2213s | specific areas the magic of the Penguins |
| 2215s | it only works near Larry I'm afraid law |
| 2217s | reasons so you can't how do you explain |
| 2220s | the Porthos matter with ghost sheet so |
| 2230s | it's all fine when you just walk in on |
| 2233s | ghosts but when you walk into like a |
| 2235s | civilized area people freak out |
| 2236s | yeah just cause it all it's because |
| 2239s | we're after have a suite of animations |
| 2242s | so that if you use them anywhere yeah |
| 2244s | you already know like when people go and |
| 2246s | chop teks on every tile you can be a |
| 2248s | monkey yeah and you don't see any Yanam |
| 2250s | they just sits in front of the train you |
| 2252s | get logs there's no there's no axe |
| 2255s | action so that's why you can't just let |
| 2259s | me go anywhere and it's the same for the |
| 2261s | like the ghost see right there's no arms |
| 2263s | in it it's not there's no arm holes |
| 2265s | you're not like you just walk around so |
| 2270s | if you go down we can do combat it's |
| 2271s | it's not gonna really work very well |
| 2273s | that's the problem with it and trust me |
| 2276s | I'll bloody love to have that good |
| 2278s | outfit everywhere cuz it's sick but I |
| 2281s | don't think we can really do it right |
| 2282s | yeah so that is I think we got this |
| 2285s | before the the stance is we would love |
| 2287s | this stuff but no just technically for |
| 2290s | animation reasons are probably not gonna |
| 2292s | happen |
| 2293s | Aidan from somewhere says that Crystal |
| 2298s | shields have been used a lot lately |
| 2299s | especially in PvP situations as cheap |
| 2303s | well a cheap option for a shield that |
| 2305s | has really good stats but when you lose |
| 2306s | it you get the crystal seed which costs |
| 2309s | a low amount can we have a sorry just |
| 2313s | wording can we have a change to this |
| 2316s | instead of sorry it's almost illegible I |
| 2323s | didn't I sure didn't put them together |
| 2325s | myself this week I'm just what I'm |
| 2328s | trying to figure out what they want |
| 2329s | exactly I think they're asking to make |
| 2331s | the crystal seed cost more like 60 K |
| 2334s | than whatever it currently costs just |
| 2336s | make it more expensive so that the |
| 2338s | Christmas tree is not such a cheap |
| 2339s | option |
| 2340s | for how good it is how much does it go |
| 2343s | down because I don't obviously it starts |
| 2345s | at 750 K to know what that cheapest |
| 2348s | price is no but I think there's pile of |
| 2353s | question is why people PK in you kill |
| 2355s | someone the crystal shields the drop so |
| 2357s | the cheapest is 150 K yeah that's right |
| 2360s | yeah so the question is well I mean have |
| 2363s | a go trying okay okay probably I'm gonna |
| 2371s | read it again right crystal shields have |
| 2375s | been used a lot lately especially in PvP |
| 2377s | situations as a cheap and best shield |
| 2380s | for its stats but what people lose it |
| 2382s | you get a crystal seed which costs low |
| 2384s | can we have a change to this instead of |
| 2386s | the crystal seed may be like 60 k GP |
| 2389s | this gets rid of the crystal scene |
| 2391s | brings 150 K that's when you can't just |
| 2397s | buy the thing I think that problem is if |
| 2399s | you kill someone you get a seed which is |
| 2401s | worthless but they are oh that's a good |
| 2404s | point |
| 2404s | see that makes more sense yeah wordings |
| 2407s | oh that's not on me for what people lose |
| 2412s | it you get crystal that makes sense when |
| 2414s | you kill someone and they drop it you |
| 2416s | only get five K see Bruno what a man we |
| 2422s | can go down the route of doing a broken |
| 2424s | one perhaps similarly to what we do for |
| 2427s | a lot of other PvP items so you kill |
| 2429s | someone of the untrainable item like the |
| 2431s | dragon defender you get a broken dragon |
| 2434s | defender it gives you coins and then so |
| 2437s | they have to go and repair it for a fee |
| 2438s | that's actually more expensive so we |
| 2441s | don't inflate with gold but we allow you |
| 2443s | to have a better reward that comes you |
| 2447s | one issue of this as though you get your |
| 2449s | shields like a hundred charges you die |
| 2452s | and yet you're like I don't know 100 |
| 2454s | care whatever would offer for a shield |
| 2457s | which would would be worth like 5 K |
| 2459s | mm-hmm so do it yeah we'll examine that |
| 2464s | one |
| 2467s | Denver Rock so if it doesn't have flat |
| 2469s | for this one does it it's rubbish it |
| 2472s | goes down slowly if it's in Buda |
| 2474s | keeps its stats out but yeah if you get |
| 2477s | down to like ten charges we've used our |
| 2479s | 10 charger that comes like to a seed |
| 2480s | which is worthless but at that point it |
| 2484s | is worthless yeah |
| 2485s | yeah but if you kill someone with like a |
| 2487s | shield woman and charges you get a for |
| 2489s | cash unless we make it scale there's a |
| 2492s | little good solution to it yeah well |
| 2494s | figure that work out well investigate |
| 2497s | cool |
| 2499s | so our next player says the loot |
| 2501s | broadcast in the chambers of Zurich |
| 2504s | should be changed to a bright purple |
| 2506s | sorry a bright purple light shines for |
| 2509s | and then the player name then the broad |
| 2511s | sorry then broadcast the loot once they |
| 2513s | actually open it I love the tension and |
| 2515s | excitement of getting a drop in the |
| 2516s | theatre of blood without knowing what it |
| 2518s | is wait for the logout |
| 2520s | then there's ambiguity of what did he |
| 2523s | get to get a twisted bow do yet hmm I |
| 2526s | don't know and I can't scroll |
| 2529s | because I have very different items as |
| 2532s | you can put how do we solve in flavor |
| 2533s | blood it's a purple chest so you'll see |
| 2537s | that we've got one but we'll see that |
| 2538s | they've got one similarly because of the |
| 2540s | chat message hmm and then when they open |
| 2543s | it it shows I think but in theatre of |
| 2547s | blood you can tell because the chest if |
| 2554s | they don't if they're not if you've you |
| 2558s | everyone else will stay in the raid |
| 2560s | mm-hmm until that other person opens the |
| 2563s | chest and then you'll be told and if |
| 2565s | they don't open that if they don't open |
| 2567s | it they're probably got something to |
| 2568s | hide no they don't get the leaf that I |
| 2570s | open it so have to open it yeah |
| 2572s | if the way for you guys all leave the |
| 2574s | rage then they're probably up the logos |
| 2576s | yeah I suppose the idea would be that |
| 2579s | the player who received it also wouldn't |
| 2581s | know what they've got until they open it |
| 2582s | you don't get table if you leave that's |
| 2585s | a good point yeah whereas if you leave |
| 2587s | through the chambers he's still gonna |
| 2589s | loot in year yeah box your box you have |
| 2591s | to force it that way otherwise I can |
| 2593s | just imagine like yeah oh no I just got |
| 2594s | a bunch of mithril guards you guys go on |
| 2596s | out I'm gonna use the feature that they |
| 2601s | get the loot afterwards mmm |
| 2603s | if they leave I like it the way it is |
| 2609s | now but I do understand why people like |
| 2610s | it for that like surprise yeah for sure |
| 2613s | because people what people do now if if |
| 2615s | they're in a group they hide their chat |
| 2617s | and hope for the best |
| 2618s | that's a good right if you d see that's |
| 2619s | the way you get your loot so yeah I |
| 2621s | think we should leave it but I do agree |
| 2624s | we should try and come up with sister |
| 2626s | was that dr. spoiler in his chat |
| 2628s | straight away yeah sure |
| 2630s | all right then Hugo says can you |
| 2634s | streamline the dialogue when handing in |
| 2635s | a farming contract currently there's a |
| 2638s | back and forth I propose something like |
| 2639s | do you want another contract yes I wants |
| 2642s | an easy medium or hard or no I don't |
| 2644s | want a contract like this really okay |
| 2650s | cuz usually when you finish a contract |
| 2651s | there's no reason to not get another one |
| 2653s | hmm so sounds reasonable considering |
| 2657s | mind that I don't see why not |
| 2660s | Mick says replace the Warriors guild to |
| 2663s | teleport with the farming guild one on |
| 2665s | the max cape please is that inconvenient |
| 2669s | Bruno yeah yeah you definitely used the |
| 2677s | farm girl quite often I've noticed even |
| 2679s | if it is just now because been released |
| 2681s | recently okay so yeah be down for that |
| 2685s | the activity of the farm until it's been |
| 2687s | a while since Longinus yeah it hasn't |
| 2689s | dropped that much I don't think I've |
| 2691s | ever tell apart the Warriors guild aside |
| 2693s | from when someone max is so you beat him |
| 2695s | to it it's gonna be pretty quick yeah |
| 2700s | alright so this is quite an interesting |
| 2703s | question I'm glad it's in I saw it |
| 2705s | earlier some guy puts in I think ma dry |
| 2709s | put the questions together for me kindly |
| 2710s | this week right to blame for that |
| 2713s | yeah so it's from Lord Gozer I think |
| 2718s | that's how I'm gonna that's what I'm |
| 2719s | going with |
| 2719s | anyway and they ask what is your |
| 2722s | philosophy behind designing new drop |
| 2724s | tables where does it start |
| 2726s | what considerations do you try to take |
| 2727s | and how do you balance it it's also sort |
| 2731s | of two parts of the next the next bit |
| 2732s | says what determines which common drops |
| 2734s | you choose to add how data-driven is |
| 2736s | this |
| 2737s | do you look at the G prices and the how |
| 2739s | many items are in the in the game at the |
| 2741s | moment basically just want to know the |
| 2744s | whole process for designing a drop table |
| 2746s | just before game of this they keep Ewing |
| 2748s | windows noise every now and then |
| 2749s | apparently the freaky out about our |
| 2753s | windows noise that happens that's weird |
| 2757s | is it the shutdown one from like XP read |
| 2761s | out a question troll there's too many |
| 2769s | people in sync hearing oh my god windows |
| 2774s | [Laughter] |
| 2776s | confirmation for my either there's |
| 2777s | contrabassoon - no we're on very good |
| 2790s | terms by user in terms of the question |
| 2793s | so there's a few factors it depends on |
| 2796s | what the boss of let's say the boss for |
| 2798s | example but what its place is what are |
| 2802s | the benefits do you have for killing it |
| 2803s | how is stricted as the boss as well if |
| 2805s | it's really good XP and it's offering |
| 2807s | that reward you don't we need a stronger |
| 2809s | player well if it's very restricted |
| 2813s | solare tasks only very high level |
| 2816s | requirements to get do that's probably |
| 2817s | gonna move you a bit stronger then the |
| 2821s | drop in itself to me the ideal drop |
| 2823s | table is one that just covers your |
| 2825s | supplies a bit of profit yeah I then |
| 2827s | xenyx |
| 2828s | that really drive home the big profit |
| 2831s | God also God was his perfect example of |
| 2835s | that |
| 2835s | the service is pretty good too now a lot |
| 2839s | of people chatting about that with a lot |
| 2840s | of the dewdrop tables we've done |
| 2841s | recently as well Volk have got a lot of |
| 2844s | attention hydra boss caught up table |
| 2847s | maybe that's a bit weird |
| 2848s | it's a bit of a different kind of drop |
| 2850s | table anyway but you can't really do |
| 2853s | that unless you've got a very strong |
| 2856s | uniques and so the hydras actually |
| 2859s | pretty good because it's got that the |
| 2860s | the Class A team l but in comparison to |
| 2863s | God Wars dungeon which you know |
| 2866s | especially Grado and Cray are dropping |
| 2870s | three pieces of best in slot gear yeah |
| 2873s | quite commonly as well by the way which |
| 2876s | means they are driving at home a lot of |
| 2878s | the profit say a broth has the boots |
| 2880s | again the boots are quite common we |
| 2884s | haven't got the ability to just invest |
| 2887s | in every drop table yeah it would be the |
| 2890s | dream world but we just need this hard |
| 2893s | so it's the drops are getting a fairly |
| 2895s | niche like tracking from the Lance it's |
| 2897s | a teammate but it isn't a niche item |
| 2898s | we're lucky it's a mil but to make it |
| 2900s | that it has to be quite rare yeah |
| 2903s | which means it has a limited ability to |
| 2906s | impact the overall GP per hour in terms |
| 2910s | of otherwise so the kind of items I |
| 2913s | think generally we try to approach a |
| 2914s | sort of theme of certain items like we |
| 2917s | might go down the herb route and see its |
| 2919s | route or you could go down the route and |
| 2921s | it's life that it follows some sort of |
| 2923s | pan but then you want some variety as |
| 2925s | well in terms of data-driven |
| 2928s | the way we do it with we have a |
| 2930s | spreadsheet that automatically pulls all |
| 2933s | of the g8 data into it and so when you |
| 2935s | add items into the drop table it |
| 2938s | automatically tells you how much it's |
| 2940s | worth |
| 2940s | etc it told us shows you the breakdown |
| 2944s | of how much each items contributing to |
| 2946s | the overall value of the drop table and |
| 2948s | it even writes the code for us as well |
| 2950s | to put in the game so it's pretty useful |
| 2953s | but in terms of looking at item impact |
| 2958s | some of them it's actually quite hard to |
| 2960s | predict so we can look into the items |
| 2963s | in-game we have that we have that data |
| 2965s | and we might often do that sometimes |
| 2967s | after the fact if we've realized some |
| 2970s | things had more impact than we expected |
| 2971s | it to so I think post release of this |
| 2976s | update everyone was talking a lot of the |
| 2978s | community we're talking about death |
| 2980s | runes and blood runes and their prices |
| 2982s | and so generally sometimes people will |
| 2985s | spark that and we'll go and have a look |
| 2986s | into him and we can see generally most |
| 2990s | items are on an upwards trend there's |
| 2992s | more and more players in the game so |
| 2993s | there's more of these items coming in so |
| 2995s | it goes up as soon as we saw it oh dang |
| 2999s | brood ruins and death rates have spikes |
| 3001s | there's a lot of them coming in |
| 3003s | hmm so then I'm this like in this |
| 3006s | circumstance we're like okay what is the |
| 3009s | cause of this are they coming from Hydra |
| 3011s | is it because people are spending less |
| 3013s | so we did a deeper dive into it and |
| 3016s | pretty much found out there's not really |
| 3017s | an issue at all I think for cases like |
| 3022s | that where we introduce a new drop table |
| 3024s | a lot of the changes in the price of |
| 3026s | items is actually players just |
| 3028s | anticipating the price isn't sure thing |
| 3030s | or buying stocking up in advance which |
| 3033s | makes it quite difficult to judge |
| 3034s | especially right after a release or |
| 3036s | right before it often takes a bit of |
| 3038s | time to sell and look at what's actually |
| 3040s | happening so sorry I did go on a bit |
| 3044s | different very interesting question but |
| 3047s | yeah it's like so we like with that sort |
| 3051s | of circumstance with blood moons and |
| 3052s | difference I sort of do look at all of |
| 3055s | the blood moons the difference that |
| 3056s | coming into the game where do they come |
| 3057s | from and then generally try and look at |
| 3059s | where people are spending them as well |
| 3061s | and the sadly with an economy in game |
| 3066s | like this its economy and what people |
| 3068s | think because you guys don't have access |
| 3071s | to the day of how many deferens and |
| 3072s | blood runs are really coming in and |
| 3074s | going out and so sometimes we look at |
| 3076s | stuff as nothing has changed and you |
| 3078s | guys are more like oh it's getting |
| 3080s | slammed into the market and the price is |
| 3082s | going down and down and down and it's |
| 3084s | just like because you all perceive that |
| 3086s | it is yeah or it could be a lot of |
| 3088s | people are selling them and they were |
| 3089s | merchants doing there's so many things |
| 3091s | that affect the prices but yeah yeah |
| 3095s | it's a tricky one and there's it's not |
| 3098s | easy to do drop tables very well yeah |
| 3101s | it's one of those things where balancing |
| 3103s | is such an important part as well |
| 3104s | but yeah that's fundamentally will |
| 3107s | probably go about in what we try and aim |
| 3109s | for I'll move on I realize we're running |
| 3112s | out of time actually we've got about |
| 3113s | five minutes left I'm gonna to go to |
| 3115s | take some chat questions the first one |
| 3118s | being can mole gets an update so that if |
| 3121s | you barrage him he can't dig for X |
| 3123s | amount of time freezing them all anybody |
| 3128s | I don't really feel I want to change the |
| 3131s | mole but yeah only it was like a small |
| 3133s | amount of time but even then it sort of |
| 3135s | like counterintuitive |
| 3136s | what's the point mmm because with the |
| 3138s | Tebow are done rocks you can just three |
| 3140s | here that thing so yeah okay there |
| 3142s | enough I did see something about the |
| 3144s | mall recently I don't know if it's true |
| 3146s | or not but apparently if you hit it with |
| 3148s | the scythe obviously gets the extra hits |
| 3151s | and that can make it get more than a |
| 3152s | food that definitely happens could |
| 3155s | happen the same thing with dragon claws |
| 3156s | so I think yeah it takes the chance to |
| 3159s | dig whatever you hit it right so that's |
| 3162s | something we could possibly change I |
| 3164s | don't that's something we intended I |
| 3166s | don't know okay it's bigger hitter |
| 3172s | weapon hitting weapons encourages you |
| 3174s | yeah this new slow weapons yeah nice |
| 3176s | isn't very expensive and it does pretty |
| 3178s | damn well |
| 3179s | so mmm-hmm okay so this is for you |
| 3186s | specifically mod Kirin Bella |
| 3189s | when will mod cure and release the |
| 3190s | mechanics of the theater of blood drops |
| 3194s | every week at some point in the future |
| 3201s | there you go as you probably already |
| 3207s | know raids and thier abilities they're |
| 3210s | more complicating than just here are the |
| 3211s | rates so it'll take you some type of |
| 3214s | summit up and actually put it into an |
| 3215s | infographic format but at some point |
| 3218s | okay at some point this year I'll say |
| 3220s | that 2019 guys yeah |
| 3224s | alright there are some questions in the |
| 3227s | chat about the CC disconnecting thing |
| 3229s | right |
| 3230s | firstly we well are well aware we've |
| 3234s | seen the messages if you do have |
| 3236s | information about when it happens let us |
| 3238s | know are you doing lots of hopping what |
| 3241s | what you just seen what happened |
| 3243s | randomly sending that information |
| 3246s | whenever you're hopping I don't when |
| 3250s | you're hopping a lot I think it's when |
| 3251s | you hop a lot this is what I've seen it |
| 3253s | causes this issue yeah we are aware of |
| 3256s | it okay thanks that's useful that makes |
| 3260s | sense but the people are looking into it |
| 3263s | rest assured |
| 3266s | another player once they teleport to the |
| 3269s | woodcutting guild on the woodcutting |
| 3271s | cape i think we talked about this the |
| 3272s | other day |
| 3272s | just adding skill cape teleports to |
| 3275s | their respective guilds I'm calling it I |
| 3277s | think the rest of us were idea and after |
| 3281s | this can you make it so that when you |
| 3282s | walk in the guy doesn't talk to you yeah |
| 3285s | I don't want to be interrupted by that |
| 3286s | guy that's fair enough |
| 3288s | that's off can we get mystic robe set |
| 3296s | packs in the ground exchange this is |
| 3300s | funny because we are obviously we added |
| 3303s | the dusk mystic recently when I was |
| 3305s | adding it as like as a squad West can |
| 3308s | you correct me a GA set item and then I |
| 3310s | found that oh wait mystics doesn't seem |
| 3312s | to have them which is a bit weird I mean |
| 3314s | I don't mind the latest thing so okay I |
| 3317s | suppose that's a yes |
| 3319s | try and squeeze in two or three more |
| 3321s | questions if we can I'm not going to try |
| 3325s | and pronounce this name |
| 3326s | if boarding passes that if boarding |
| 3329s | passes will the total level world to be |
| 3331s | changed because adding a new skill is |
| 3332s | essentially a free 50 levels or so to |
| 3334s | the average player and therefore |
| 3336s | technically enough to these worlds |
| 3338s | I wouldn't think circles are still a |
| 3341s | milestone it so it's still 500 750 1000 |
| 3344s | go on maybe increase hitter to 2 250 |
| 3348s | that would make sense to keep it as a |
| 3350s | high level world ok any other bad one |
| 3355s | our like 32 teeth are on max worlds max |
| 3358s | please yeah when we come back of a new |
| 3360s | skill because I want to race to the new |
| 3361s | skill 1 like the nice girl well I mean |
| 3364s | the max world on watch or any skill |
| 3365s | would be like single player world if |
| 3367s | you're a first-time 99 enough epic |
| 3371s | another player says can we consider |
| 3374s | adding additional requirements to vote |
| 3379s | on certain polls for example the |
| 3381s | chambers of zurich poll coming soon a |
| 3383s | lot of the players you vote were |
| 3384s | actually have done it yet this is |
| 3386s | something we've thought about well are |
| 3388s | still thinking about the nature of polls |
| 3390s | and categorizing them so that they're |
| 3392s | relevant to the players who are going to |
| 3394s | engage with the content who already do |
| 3397s | but it's not quite that straightforward |
| 3398s | in that you have to account for the |
| 3400s | facts a lot of players are currently |
| 3401s | training say say you need 90 Slayer to |
| 3404s | kill whatever but you're at 89 does that |
| 3408s | mean you shouldn't be able to vote even |
| 3409s | though you're training Slayer so it is a |
| 3412s | bit more nuanced than that but we are |
| 3416s | thinking about targeting poles in more |
| 3419s | specific ways to make them relevant to |
| 3420s | the players who engage with the content |
| 3424s | final question I appreciate Ron's |
| 3426s | well just about out of time |
| 3429s | crazed says can we get a left click fill |
| 3432s | option on sandpits this would make |
| 3433s | filling buckets of sand slightly better |
| 3435s | since you won't need to switch between |
| 3437s | we just add the bloody sands those chat |
| 3443s | quickly do we do we want sandstorm yes |
| 3445s | or no do-do-do-do-do pending |
| 3449s | I'm thinking like the reason I like |
| 3453s | sandstorm is because it's an actual |
| 3456s | legit piece of content that helps you or |
| 3460s | something that is literally mundane |
| 3461s | right now yeah I'm we had this |
| 3463s | discussion actually I think we're |
| 3465s | thinking of offering a way to generate |
| 3467s | buckets of sand with this with this qual |
| 3471s | month coming up but the argument is do |
| 3475s | we want to do it sort with a spell or |
| 3477s | with something else obviously the reason |
| 3480s | there's so much demand first bucket of |
| 3482s | sand is iron men mostly not not |
| 3486s | exclusively but do we add a spell |
| 3489s | essentially for this game-mode is is the |
| 3491s | real question I don't think a lot of |
| 3493s | players would be cool with that but if |
| 3494s | there are other ways to do it |
| 3496s | we have explained the options I mean the |
| 3498s | thing is um what else |
| 3501s | yes that's true right now are you either |
| 3503s | just wait a while and get 84 a day yeah |
| 3506s | or you could manually kept them you're |
| 3510s | naughty files if you got the elite Barry |
| 3512s | I think it is so still pretty high |
| 3515s | requirements for such a low-level sort |
| 3518s | of thing like its killed us basically |
| 3520s | yeah okay |
| 3523s | I mean on top of that I think of |
| 3525s | targeting polls an iron mine only poll |
| 3529s | it's potentially option when it comes to |
| 3531s | very direct iron one changes I think |
| 3533s | that's a lot fairer than say level |
| 3535s | restricted poles or PvP restrictive |
| 3537s | poles that kind of thing yeah something |
| 3539s | to consider and explore in the future |
| 3541s | that about wraps us up I realize we've |
| 3543s | gone a little bit over time thank you to |
