we'll be changing the tasks to instead require any Demonbane Weapon rather than Arclight specifically, meaning you'll be able to choose between using Silverlight, Darklight, or Arclight to complete them.

What about Holy Water and the new Arceuus demonbane spells?

I believe that for time reasons, we won't be able to offer these at the moment. It's a possibility for the future but we need to balance this against delivering other projects. For example, Mod Husky is the main developer for Combat Achievements and his next project is DMM. Therefore, we won't be able to action all bits of feedback. We'll try to do as much as we can and hit the main problem areas, fix any bugs that arise, etc.

Sounds great team, glad you’re taking on the feedback and being so community driven. It’s easy for people to point out mistakes, without taking a minute to appreciate all the effort that goes into pushing out these updates. Now the interface is there, it should be easier to build on this for the future!

Quick question, I asked at the end of last month if the plan was still to update the TOB “quest” by end of July - with the response - yes.

Is this still the plan? Or has this been scrapped?

Thanks! Much appreciated. It hasn't been scrapped at all! The plan is still to release the new TOB Quest for next week's game update.

It's going to be really good, and I think players will really enjoy it. :D

A sense of pride and accomplishment if you will?

Surprised this wasn’t touched on in the blog post. This is what the majority wants.

Hey! We're absolutely aware of this feedback and have discussed it as well as addressed this on our livestream yesterday. (Check out 15:20 - What are the team's thoughts on changing the Combat Achievements from a Diary design to a League Points design?).

There's scope for the rewards to change in this way but there's many additional things to consider. It would be a huge amount of work for us to do right now and it's a bit too soon to rewrite the rewards structure ~2 days post-release. Check out Husky's response for more info! <3

How do you "promote" someone's "sense of personal achievement"....by giving them public cosmetics? Interesting.

y-yes? o_o that's exactly how one can promote a sense of personal achievement without making content feel compulsory. do you have any other ideas?

People aren't allowed to make their own journeys through the achievements. You complete one tier then move to the another. you cant choose to do X bosses then move on to the next simply because you dont get any rewards that way.

I hear you. That is separate feedback which I feel is unrelated to the point above. Your feedback is about player choice feeling limited, which we've already addressed on our livestream (15:20). "What are the team's thoughts on changing the Combat Achievements from a Diary design to a League Points design?" :)

Why is killing normal Gauntlet 50 times a Master task, yet killing Corrupt 50 times is an elite task?

I feel as though these two should 100% be swapped - must be a mistake... Right?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention guys! So, I've brought this up with the team and it looks like it will take longer to change this because it involves changing task tiers post-launch rather than a simple bug fix.

Changing this will definitely not be possible by next week. I can't commit to a date when we can look at it, but it is noted and we acknowledge the issue.
