Hey u/qubic27
 If you're experiencing problems with the Old School RuneScape mobile client, I would first recommend checking our Mobile Clients FAQ as that has answers for a number of common questions, as well as a section to help you verify that you're using a compatible device.

If that doesn't help, please try uninstalling the client then rebooting your device before installing a fresh copy directly from the app store.

group afk combat training unironically sounds like a fun update

basically just sandcrabs without crashing and some socializing

Internally, a menu option is called an "op". This is an unpopular op in onion.

Just jumping in to say it's absolutely not our 'best attempt', because it's our first one. If we're not able to improve on it in a future updated blog/beta then I'll be genuinely stunned!

Is there a part of that dungeon where there is multi combat kurasks? I always thought that'd be awesome.

fire giant boss but its a giant spider on fire?

Drain rates absolutely need work, but commenting to say that the music choice here was top tier. Appreciate the post, makes it even simpler for me to articulate to the team!

Heads-up all, apologies for not being able to reply to a whole lot - have got a lot going on and wanting as many people as possible to try stuff out in the beta worlds.

Needless to say this is a 'first draft' and it's exactly what betas are for. I'll be looking to talk with the team tomorrow on a number of subjects so far (and will keep on the lookout for more), largely looking at:

  • Drain rate at higher weights feels extremely punishing, coming from all types of players. Particularly at 'middling' Agility levels.
  • Consider where these changes leave the Ring of Endurance, does it need changes?
  • Consider whether Graceful providing Weight Reduction is actually likely to reduce how 'ubiquitous' it is, especially in conjunction with how Drain Rate is scaling.
  • Consider whether Graceful's proposed 'no fail' effect might need reining in at some locations, particularly specific courses that are balanced around a reasonable fail rate (Ape Atoll, ...

Without a change to agility becoming a f2p skill, making 1 agility max weight 126.87% worse without access to negative weight clothing is brutal.

In addition, while the attempt is making graceful less relevant, having weight matter more means graceful is going to be worn 24/7 anyway to keep weight low, regardless of its 30% bonus being removed.

Yeah this is a concern I'd had initially. I'll say that having run through some early questing wearing full sets of plate armour etc. it felt a little better on account of gaining so much energy back during dialogues etc., or that I still spent a good deal less time walking on account of the regen rate.

Fully appreciate the Graceful feedback too. All of these are fairly significant changes and might well be the case that specific numbers want more tuning, just want to let things breathe with the beta for a little while before knee-jerking based on the newspost at face value (since it's kind of hard to properly conceptualise all of the bits working together).

It's not about what I 'think' players will feel. It's about what players logging in and trying the beta feel, considering all of the other parts that go into things like regenning energy on the ticks that you attack etc.

This is the second comment you've left which is crazy hostile (though the first got deleted it seems). Your previous comment said you were an experienced raider, it'd help the team out a lot if you could jump into a raid and try it out and report back on how it feels in practise.

We have, but when it's something as feel-reliant as this, we'd rather see how players feel about it first, hence the beta being there since it's extremely difficult to gauge something like this from just numbers in a table or on a graph

So basically we are going to be punished for having more switches now. Maybe you should think about adjusting the weights of certain gear? Just torva alone is 20kg.. full masori is another 20

Would be keen to hear from you how it feels in a beta world, a lot of endgame setups still don't quite hit the cap and it should be the case that the Regen rate improving so drastically offsets any increased drain.

Is the graceful changes, specifically the mark of grace increase, the reason it seems to have all gone dark regarding the varlamore course that was going to be the most amalayse per hour?

Not at all, these changes have been in the backlog for some time and something similar was initially floated in a 2022 Game Jam before that aspect of the Varlamore course had been designed. My understanding is that that Course should be making an appearance alongside Part Two.

Honestly.. just remove run energy at this point. It's silly to try and actually balance player movement when you can constantly run by using an item.

I'm not sure I agree in all scenarios! Being able to free up an extra inventory space for an added switch or extra failsafe makes you feel more rewarded for clicking manually at something like Olm or GWD and helps improve your confidence with movement and manual-pathing more frequently imo. Agree in part that for something like questing or Blast Furnace it's sort of an 'added layer' but would argue that from a design perspective it makes Stamina Potions feel like a valuable Herblore unlock for Irons and a worthwhile added cost for Mains.

Comment is largely my perspective as a player fwiw, I'd be a little sad to see Run Energy just outright removed from the game because I think it removes a layer of learning/growth as a player in some spots, and still leaves Agility feeling relatively useless on the wider game :(
