This does seem inevitable.

"Last destination" on charter ships would be amazing if each ship had it's unique last destination. It would solve the problem of going back and forth charters, or if I tele for zulrah over and over. Definitely something the team should consider if the engine allows it.

A great point. I'll ask the dev team about that.

Any chance herb sack can be added to tithe rewards? As a skiller it would be really helpful but is currently unobtainable.

Sure, I'll ask.

To add on to this, the current stat screen neglects to show weapon speed. Since that is kind of important, it would be nice to see that added, especially before trying to show stats elsewhere. To a new players, they might see a longsword is higher stats than a scimitar and think it is better, not realizing speed is also a factor that just isn't shown.

A great point. I’ll pass this along to the team.

I think there is a bug with the new Twisted Armor sets. Why isnt the Twisted Cane included in the Relic Hunter T3 set? It came with the purchase of the T3 set from the store but its not part of the GE set?

edit u/JagexGambit

Thanks - I’ll raise it with the team.

Well then, shouldn't the website be fixed to show the correct poll results?

Ideally. But other work is currently taking priority - we don’t expect it to be fixed soon.

I haven't seen it mentioned in here yet, so I'd like to thank /u/JagexLenny for putting in the work required to make the Wiki Integration possible!

And a huge thanks to yourself and the rest of the Wiki team for your help along the way with it!

Am I the only one that thinks adding more stuff to PvP is what made it fail in the first place?
I think PVP is dead because 99% of players can't do it. If you don't have the absolute best build + gear + know how to flick and tick eat perfectly, you have 0 chance.

No amount of artificial inflation by adding external sources is going to fix it.

PVP was best when it was simple and anyone could give it a go

There's no doubt that the standard has increased since "the golden days". People are much wiser about protecting their items and using optimal gear/techniques which raises the barrier to entry for new PKers. It's not obvious how to fix that.

It's really awesome to see how much Jagex has done to support the wiki and integrate it into the game. It's such a key part of the game to look up guides and items, compare, want to know the drop table of the boss you're killing quickly etc and to have it integrate so nicely is a big plus. Really glad to see things like this make their way into the game :)

Much love for the OSRS Wiki guys. They're a great team and offer a huge service to the community.

Awesome thing youre starting to move 3rd party client features into the vanilla client! Im really looking forward to see more of this!

But I have a suggestion to improve this feature for mobile. On mobile, its a bit weird to use since you get logged out after about 2 seconds or something due to energy savings restrictions on android (and ios too i believe, not sure though) when the app is not in foreground. I'm pretty sure, you are aware of that but aren't able to change this behaviour. Since the link opens the browser, it minimizes the game, which leads to the described process. It would be very helpful to let the wiki open via overlay, like the bond store on mobile to make it actually usable.

Note: i have my energy settings changed, so i don't get logged out. in my case it's okay when im using chrome as default, since it opens immediatly. but since im using firefox, its a bit weird to use again, because the browser can't push itself in the foreground like chrome c...

Thanks, that's very useful feedback! I'll make sure it reaches the dev team.

It passed the poll. If you're checking the results from the website, they incorrectly factor in the skipped votes (diluting the yes votes). Accurate results can be found via the poll booths in game. -

I do. I'm sorry to hear you think it was half-assed. There's a lot to be discussed about our approach to PvP content design as well as what PvP should look like for Old School overall.

For BH in particular, more scoping at the beginning would have highlighted certain issues earlier. Things like any system where two accounts can generate wealth will always be boosted, the conflict of interest when it comes to polling PvP rewards, and the issue of moderating and enforcing anti-boosting rules should have been realised sooner.

It's not clear just yet what the solutions are, but we'll focus on them until we reach a point that PvP content designs are viable.

If you're using a 3rd party client that already had its own Wiki Integration (and if you have it enabled in said client), you may find that it's currently showing their options for it as well as the game's.

Hey love the Wiki integration, such a great step!

However, if an entity is far away you will start running towards it, aswell if you can't reach it, you can't "look it up" if it is at a bit longer distance. This is possible through runelite etc.

Is it intended this way?

Unfortunately this is the only way it can work for now. We're aware that doing it from range would be better and I understand it's being looked into.

Looks like this is an issue with a third party client as it functions as expected on the official client. Similarly, multiple wiki options appearing also seems to be related to that.

anyway glad it got dealt with sort of swiftly after the Torvesta vid.

I don't feel that sorry for them.

The more Runelite Functions I see being added to the official client, the happier I get. I'd rather see more things like this each week than anything else. OSRS deserves a better vanilla client.

Slowly but surely! This is one of the biggest steps we've taken for the vanilla client.

Unfortunately, that's not my call to make or something I can enforce. I understand the situation sucks (and I do empathize with that), but all I can do is give my opinion and suggestions for the future on the matter.
