I'm afraid we aren't able to share that information. I'd personally like to, when we're in a position where we consider the issue entirely resolved.

It made for an interesting commute to work.

"We want to start circulating more advanced publishing and game information in the future so that creators can pre-prep content "

So content creators are going to be able to get ahead of everyone else when new content drops? Seems a tad unfair for competitions?

Not quite like that, but we'll be sharing ideas and maybe a bit more insight into release dates. We certainly won't be sharing mechanics or anything.

If it's any consolation, I'm planning to do the same with "normal" players too with my 2020 plans.

Hey all. There are a few things being raised here, and we'll cover each, in some way. There's the exploit itself. There's us NDAing content creators and the responses from Mod Bolton. There's the idea of any collusion between Reddit and Jagex.

In terms of the exploit. It's standard to not discuss active investigations and actions being taken, at least until after we've taken steps to resolve the issues. We became aware of a method being used to duplicate gold, and a combination of things - including tip-offs from Rendi and our system monitoring - led to us becoming aware of it very quickly. The Support and anti-cheating teams worked on removing a large amount of gold and investigated the accounts involved, whilst the SysAdmin and Engine teams were working on stopping it happening more. We remain diligent, and are yet to see any repeated occurrence of the exploit - work is continuing to improve our game systems to prevent this sort of thing from occurring again. In response ...

Mod Bolton’s message (auto-hidden earlier this morning):

Hey there Rendi, I'm sorry you felt you needed to leave the discord, or that you are in any way unappreciated. I really don't have any info on anything in-game, as my focus is wholly influencers, but I'd like to explain my comments that you discuss at the start of the vid.

I should clarify that the reason I was concerned about "incorrect info" leaking out of the discord, was because we were seeing a "telephone" effect on what was actually said in the chat. Players were hearing second-hand stories through streamers, and creating reddit threads with totally incorrect claims about what creators and Jagex were saying. As the person in charge of influencer, that is unacceptable regardless of the topic, and is traditionally solved with an NDA.

In general, NDA's don't apply to anything you bring into a channel yourself. An NDA just protects what others say in the chat, allowing both creators and Jage...

I have been working on simplifying my shading, but can have another look seeing as you have raised it again with this model. Also the character is from the sea, and I wanted to create some fish-like features, so chose to emphasize the lips, give her fins and tentacle hair etc. that being said, can have another look seeing as you have mentioned it

Comment

Textures in OSRS don't work with transparency meaning that when you perform an action that makes your character fade out (as with some teleports), the item will stay at full opacity whilst the rest of you disappears. To get around this, we create a 'dummy' object to replace the textured one and swap them out briefly during the animation.

Is the 65 base damage independent of your Magic lvl? If so, that's very different to how KO spec for melee and ranged works. That's easily 80+ max hit with occult which I don't wanna see being possible with only 75 Magic. You hit nowhere near that with either 75 Strength or 75 Ranged.

May I suggest the max hit to be based on your Magic lvl? Could be Magic/2 + 10 for instance, so 50 with 80 Magic and 59 with 99 Magic before damage boosts. This also gives a reason to use stuff like magic potions or even imbued hearts to raise your max hit even further.

I like this a lot actually. Will suggest it to the team tomorrow

Instead of the same old boring book design for offhand mage for Siren's Tome, why not something more creative? Like how about the Nightmares Head, and you hold it by her white hair. That would be sick!

/u/Mod_West

I had an idea for something similar but as a main hand weapon. Gorgons head or something like that but the connected content design is dead. It’s certainly something I’d be up for making in the future.

As for this update, Mod Ry made the weapons while I made the armours but we’re not in a position to start from scratch with these unfortunately :/

Like the other comments have said, the player is logged into RuneScape 3 and is in the lobby. Friends chats (clan chats for us) aren't game specific the same way friends lists aren't so they're able to join your clan and because RS3 lobbies display as being in world 1000+ then that's what's shown on the clan chat tab and friends lists. Hope this clears everything :).

Any chance I’ll get to have fun with 6 jads in this tournament world?

Sadly not, the 6 Jads is currently disabled on tournament worlds. But I did ask!

That is good, what will be the best way to give feedback once that is out?

"Discuss this future update on our official forums, the community-led 2007Scape Reddit, or the community-led OSRS Discord in the #gameupdate channel."

That's what it says at the bottom of the blog post. People like JagexAcorn will collect that feedback over the 2 weeks and send it to us devs!

Personally I think the armor needs to be level 50 defence with the stats it has, and the book should have lower attack but with 5% damage. The armor as is makes obby almost obsolete except for the obsidian weapon niche, while giving rune/zerk accounts too good of dps tools compared to lower builds. Having 30 defence would probably cause a new breed of pure types, which isn't a bad thing. All in all I like the concept of everything, but I think it needs to be balanced more.

That's why we want to open the beta worlds so you guys can test them out and give us a lot more accurate feedback with regards to the balancing!

Can you set up clan wars/tournament worlds with the staff/books (placeholder models)? That might alleviate a lot of concerns around their strength

Tournament worlds will be set up on Thursday's game update with the rewards and their models as you see on the blog in the chest to allow players to test them out.

Honestly creepy af I love it. Reminds me of the hag from IT 2. That shit gave me chills..

Fun Fact: When Mod Ghost was making the WIP image he actually referenced Mrs. Kersh quite regularly.

As it is not a (group) instance and there is no mention of an NPC that collects your loot, is it safe to assume that irons will be able to go in with an inventory of food, suicide, repeat a couple of times and then attempt to kill the boss with a large amount of food on the floor?

Shura will be outside of the boss arena and will charge a fee to reclaim any items when you die inside the boss fight.

When can we expect to see the maiden changed implemented :).

No guarantees I'm afraid - there are a lot of things from the poll to implement so some of them will have to wait until after the New Year. Not sure which ones just yet.

Since the models are a subject to change, could we get more old-schoolish models for the NPC's? They look good, colorful, but it doesn't really fit OS aesthetic that much. Having a few HD objects in an unchanged OSRS world breaks the immersion for me, that's all.

The NPCs are going in a new environment being built for this content. We are working hard together to create a direction for the update so it all works together, and hopefully won't break your immersion, or be incongruous. That being said, these are WIP images and I will keep your concerns in mind and discuss with the rest of the team. Thanks for checking it out and taking the time to leave feedback!

Technically it can restore up to 37 on task if my math is right and only that staff and spec passes, but that's kinda splitting hairs. Carrying a potential 5 way switch and using 75% Spec Attack energy to save about 2 p-pot doses seems a bit excessive to me.

I trust you on the maths, thanks for the correction. That must require some badass gear tho.

Love the new NPC models. The staff with orbs is a great idea, too, albeit the prayer restore one seems OP.

THANK YOU
