Hi Sarnie, when is the 200m WT pet update happening I'm waiting :)
I haven't got a time for you yet, but work on Poll 79 has been progressing well, so I would imagine at some point in May (but don't hold me to that) :P
About. f**king. Time.
Was a little burned out from the game, but I'll log in tonight to change my hair-do, you bet your ass.
Pics or didn't happen.
I know it's a big change, but can we get an ETA on combat achievement changes?
It MAY come sooner than you think :)
Does this mean we're getting more servers/worlds now that the Fresh world accounts are migrating?
Currently, they are just being closed.
So is this week update on Tuesday or this is something additional and we maybe have combat achievement changes during tomorrows update? cuz I read that next week no update. so if not today and not next week, when those "sooner than you think" combat achievement changes might come?
No, it's definitely not coming this week or next week. I capitalised May as it should be delivered for then, but I can't give you a specific date just yet.
cheers mate it's been a couple years I can wait another month for my chicken
May your RNG be blessed!
I’m glad the Mods have the opportunity to work on passion projects or ideas during Game Jams but this is like the 3rd one and the hairstyles is all we’ve gotten out of them. Forestry is on it way but are Game Jams going to lead to more tangible stuff eventually? I mean these things apparently take up an entire week lol.
There's a lot of amazing potential for updates/content that come from the Game Jam, and all the content there might be tangible, it just depends on the scope/scale of a project, and where it would fit among our other projects.
That's not to say we haven't considered some of the projects for future content or working on them currently, but if that is the case, we'll only showcase that when we are ready.
Hopefully, that helps :)
A new hair salon has opened in Varrock, offering free haircuts for all.
I just don't think this is a good business model...
Maybe it's an incentive project for more tourism to Varrock, funded by King Roald?
We'll be taking a deeper look at the Ruinous Powers and their level of power, the effects of other rewards like Virtus or the upgraded Ancient sceptres, and considering a large point of feedback that the rewards perhaps feel like a little too much all at once.
Is moving the rings to future content on the table? I know they’re the safest and easiest pieces of content to develop so the bosses are worth it. Simple stat increases will always get engagement on content.
But the rings are just sweeping power creep across all styles, won’t shake up metas outside of players just hitting harder and speccing less (Lightbearer used less), and the DKs ring element is inelegant. Feels like they could be better served as part of a Fremenik reward space.
I believe we are going to be taking a real close look at all the feedback and the potential things we could do to improve how you all feel about them, so this could be a possibility, yes!
Hijacking your reply to dig deeper here: Will a similar update like this also happen to thessalia?
Nothing's planned at the moment for that I'm afraid.
Will there be another vote whether we want new prayers at all or not after the next set of changes?
I imagine so, the original poll was just to ask if we should continue to work on those rewards, so there was also going to be another one regardless to confirm each of them being fully added to the game.
how disappointed are you that you gave such a good hint in it MAY come and then the guy was just oblivious lmao
very
I'm highly excited for Wilderness expansion, has it been considered for the roadmap of this year?
It's been discussed like all of the Game Jam updates are. The biggest thing with the Wilderness Update is its scale. In terms of size and scope, it would mean a lot of work from all areas of the team, so if we were to do it we would need to plan it out accordingly.
That being said, my main focus for this Game Jam is going to flesh out the "Rat Boss" and try and create an early-game boss to teach Gear/Prayer Switching as it's something you don't really get a chance to do/learn at the beginning but becomes so key for mid-late game.
Speaking of gamejam updates, is husky's taskaal trials scrapped or still a possibility? That pitch was so hype
All Game Jam projects are still a possibility! Just because we've only really shared with you all the first half of this year, we might have some potential Game Jam projects for the second half or beyond.
You'll just have to wait and see!
Can the jagex launcher be updated to allow multiple jagex accounts to be logged in, this would be helpful for family that share computers and allow them to keep accounts separate
It's something I've raised as feedback to the team, but I can't confirm if this is going to happen sooner or later I'm afraid!
Damn Roald is enticing the Asgarnians to move in and eventually gentrify lower east Varrock. This cannot stand.
I'm fine with it as long as there's a decent Fried Chicken place... pls Jagex.
Game seems pretty buggy since update. Character disappearing whenever I attack with ranged and got a game crash during hunleff.
Can you let me know what you were attacking and what client you are using?
There's a bug in TOA where Akkha flickers between being attackable and invisible/non-targetable. This happened after the update - can someone look into this? it's making it impossible to complete achievements or the room.
Could you let me know what client you're using and if you've got any visual plugins on like 117Scape or Animation Smoothing?
Hi Sarnie,
I'm using runelite from the official Jagex launcher and I have the 117 HD plugin enabled, as well as animation smoothing.
Thank you! We've put some comms out about the issue whilst the teams investigate!

Thanks for your reports, everyone! The teams are investigating and we've put out some comms, including a broadcast to try and help players!
I’m sorry, but “you’ll have to wait and see” doesn’t really seem like an appropriate response to the player base in this case. I understand you just may not have the answers or are able to share anything, but after this game jam that’ll be 3 weeks worth of time that has resulted in…? What’s the point in brainstorming exciting potential changes and sharing them with the player base to get them excited, just to go radio silent on them afterwards? We should know if we are actually receiving worthwhile updates resulting from these or not.
I appreciate it if that answer isn't as satisfactory as you would like, but the Game Jam was a new way (and in my opinion, a better way) than our previous ideation sessions.
Nothing, from any Game Jam is ever guaranteed to enter the game even if there's an idea that the players really love. It's an exciting opportunity for us to get together as a team and work on the game we love in a way some of us might not normally do!
Some ideas have already come out of it like Forestry, CA Points changes, today's Makeover changes and more, but unfortunately measuring the scope and scale of these projects takes time and resources whilst we balance any potential ideas alongside our other projects.
This ultimately means that there won't be a lot of talk about a Game Jam project or projects as we will only be able to confirm we are working on something once we are ready to. I know that can be frustrating but we have to ensure that we can deliver on something before we can commit to them.
Hopefully, that gives you some more clarity as to why we go silent on a lot of the well-received projects or Game Jam projects as a whole.
Heya all! We've recently released a hotfix that should have fixed the issue with the Phantom Muspah. We'll be keeping the newspost up to date with any more fixes!
