Any plans on discussing the state of BH after the maul update?

We're still monitoring the effects on player activity and how they're building their accounts. If it's had a serious negative impact, we can revisit.

u/jagexgambit will the slayer store rune pouch see a decrease in price?

I'm keen on polling this once we have agreement within the team on what's appropriate. We could offer to bring it down to 750, but people have rightly pointed out that it's far more useful than the herb sack which already exists at this cost.

Currently you need a 5 kill streak to get a rune pouch (t1-t6). Or by purchasing a t10 off the ge for ~2m you can buy 4 rune pouches. With the crates being 5 points and on average reward 100k that means you’re forgoing ~3m in loot from crates for a rune pouch making rune pouches 6x more expensive than it currently is.

If you and your opponents are equally matched, you have a 1/64 chance of winning 6 fights in a row. Obviously these odds may be a little better if you're an above average PKer. Either way, this is not an easy feat.

You're right that nowadays many players simply buy the Rune pouch with a T10 emblem that costs 2M. But just because you can get four from one T10 emblem doesn't mean they're worth 500k each, because most players only ever buy one. So this is not a good measure of the pouch's value.

If 5 points = 100k, 150 points is equal to 3m which is definitely above what players are used to paying for Rune pouches. I'm happy to reduce this to around 75 (~1.5m worth of loot) which is much closer to what players are used to paying for a rune pouch prior to T10s being tradeable. What do you think?

Just getting some feedback from the POH communities. Thanks for the feedback everyone that did provide some while I was there!

Hey,

if they have any feedback they'd like to suggest we're open for suggestions.

We're currently reducing the time-out for advertising as it's a bit high and we've seen suggestions to show people who are in their house and multiple filters to be added. Potentially show house size too.

So do you just pick and choose whether it's weekly or fortnightly?

As per the PvP rota we swap world themes every two weeks. You can find more information here: https://www.runescape.com/oldschool/pvpworldrota

Wait, so as an ironman I wouldn't be able to get rune pouch by doing wildly slayer anymore? I would have to actually do bounty Hunter?

Wilderness Slayer would still provide the points you need to buy it from the Slayer Reward points shop.

Why aren't looting bags scaled based on the Wilderness diary?

Because they don't need to be so rare that the Hard and Elite diaries make a significant difference. We're considering making them easier to obtain at the lower end of NPC too.

Could we have Perdu offer looting bags for a reasonable fee? That way we won't need to waste a bank spot on them? Plus I always need to repair my items with Perdu anyway, so it's not out of the way.

Thanks - I like this suggestion. How much do you think is a reasonable price?

Comment

Bounty Hunter worlds are being swapped next week.

When is the abyssal sire little fix coming? We can't re-stun sire untill timer is at 0 but that makes us waste atleast 5 seconds of doing nothing and having to hit sire even though he's below the stage switch hp i mean when he's 190 or lower you hit him get exp drop but don't do any damage then he moves why not make him move instantly after he is lower than 190?

We have a chunk of Sire feedback points in the backlog that we'll poll for the future. Don't worry we're aware of them; we're just busy with RuneFest and BH stuff right now.

While we do the game update we are running server maintenance so all worlds will remain offline until the maintenance is complete. We will post on social and the website when the worlds are back online.

Edit: The game worlds are back online now. Thank you for your patience.

Is it in the interest of players to have the board above the portal and not between Phials and the portal?

Would you prefer it on the other side of the portal for Rimmington? I'm happy to put in player feedback to the devs on its location.

I'll pass this request on to the woman that runs the merch store and see if she can get some in stock for the S10 in the future.
