Hello!

We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs on TUESDAY 22nd October. We'll be live from 5pm BST (that's 12pm EST, 9am PDT, and 3am AEDT).

I'll be your host. What questions would you like me to ask (and - hopefully - answer)?

It's another Tuesday Q&A this week I'm afraid, as a few of us (namely myself, Ash, John C and Kieren) are at an all-day meeting on Wednesday.

EDIT:

We're sorry to announce that today's Q&A has been cancelled. We moved the Q&A to Tuesday in order to work around an offsite on Wednesday which would cause a lot of the team to be out of office. With some staff on holiday, others working on Bounty Hunter feedback, others working on Halloween and this week's update, we aren't well-placed to offer a Q&A today.

We’ll try to answer any submitted questions in submitted threads, or carry the questions to next week's stream. In the meantime...

* We're working on a blog which addresses all of your Bounty Hunter feedback so far. It’ll outline the changes we expect to make in THursday’s game update, and the game updates which follow.

* The blog which talks about Account Security and new features will be released on Thursday (it affects both RuneScape and Old School, and is currently in the process of being localized).

* We're still refining the next iteration of our statement on Third-Party Clients, and we're looking to publish it as soon as possible, pending stakeholder approval.

* We said we'd have Zalcano and Gauntlet drop rate information today, so we'll bring those with us in next week's stream.

Apologies again.

F2p slayer?

Would you like to see it? Would a new Slayer master be introduced, or would Vannaka be repurposed? Would we add existing P2P NPCs to F2P?

Can you explain in more detail and what you will do to fix/remedy the scenario where you inaccurately perm banned EvScape?

The player was unbanned. Other associated players were unbanned. Feedback was given to the anti-cheating specialist was responsible. Mod Tyran talks about the issue in more detail here: https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/dlhzok/why_shouldnt_evscape_get_a_faster_recovery_than/f4qk34l/

Fishing Trawler is not fun. Please change each 'trawl' to a maximum of 3 minutes and reduce the chance of a skilling item to 1/4. Investing 20/40+hrs of literally standing still clicking a wall for next to no xp feels like an unnecessary time-sink when I could be playing more interesting areas of the game. Thanks.

I wouldn't be averse to reducing the length of time each trawl takes, but I'd prefer to separate that from any change in the droprate of the angler's outfit.

Botting could be solved by making a bot's gp worthless AFTER it has been RWTed. This would make buyers stop using RWTing services. What would be the challenges you could face in implementing this?

I think you need to further explain the idea. How could gp suddenly become worthless? Would that not just be banning the account and removing the gp?

Can the Trouble Brewing be looked at?

Currently the red teams side is much worse than the blue teams side. Can the sides be mirrored, or something similar to Castle Wars, so there are no difference if you're on either teams. It makes no sense, that one teams base-layout is better than the others.

Solid shout here.

Why are people getting incorrectly banned? Can you do something about this to prevent further loss to other players who might not have a livestream/online following?

Can you make rune pouch buyable with coins from the bh shop meanwhile you work on bounty hunter rework? Like 500k would be a suitable price I think.

Currently only way to get a rune pouch is through slayer or with existing bounty hunter points. Does not feel great to be stuck not using your only rune pouch in pvp for this long.

There's something in the works for Rune pouches for the duration of the beta. Blog coming imminently.

What is the reasoning for not already having fist of guthix? the rewards are not necessarily needed and they could be made into reality with communitys help.

It wouldn't be as simple as copy and pasting a minigame from RS3 to OSRS. We've seen the state of multiple minigames which lack enthralling rewards (they aren't very active) and I think the same would be said for FoG.

We've spoken about it in recent Q&As. We're looking to poll some Sire questions soon, and then I think we'll be looking at Grotesque Guardians.

After the success of the farming guild, is the rework of other guilds in the pipeline for future work? It could be a great piece of content that if revived properly, and to community satisfaction, would have a very rewarding impact. Similar to have the farming guild has three tiers that pushes players to continue to level up their skill for all access to the guild.

What content would you want to see added to the guilds?

Can slayer partner be changed and made useful

What would make it useful without also making it abusable via exacerbated points/XP gain?
