Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

As you mentioned, god wars bosses have significantly more defense than Sarachnis does, her 400hp doesn't feel too severe from what i've seen.

I personally feel like a lower defence higher hp boss is more fun for players to fight because nothing is more frustrating than hitting nothing but 0s. Also she's a spider, spiders aren't known for having a high defense

I feared that allowing cannons in the dungeon would make the prayer training possible from red dragons to be too powerful.

Also a lot of the areas within the dungeon are very small so a cannon would take up a lot of space.

And lastly, I wasn't comfortable with players setting up cannons in Sarachnis' room and letting them solo her as the player avoids all of the mechanics of the fight.

Yes, that is correct. Currently every drop is noted from the Grubby Chest except red dragonhides/dragon bones.

I've updated it so that as of thursday, red dragonhides/dragon bones will be noted when receiving them from the chest.

I would certainly like to explore this story more in the future although I can't make any promises to what is being worked on next!

I felt like the poisonous spider trope had already been done by Venenatis. I wanted to focus on a spider boss which had a "swarming the player" kind of feel

So over the weekend I've been hopping around a number of streams and reddit threads and have seen a lot of the same question coming up regarding the design of the Forthos Dungeon. As such, I thought it would be interesting if I made a reddit post to address some of these questions.

What is the droprate of the Cudgel/Pet/Jar/Mask of Ranul?

• I'll make that public within the next couple of weeks, keep an eye on my twitter!

Why did you change Sarachnis to be a non-instanced boss, it said that it was going to be instanced in the poll blog?

• The poll blog was amended before the poll went live that we will make Sarachnis non-instanced and I apologise if anyone voted for it without seeing that. The reason it was changed is that of all the feedback we received from the initial poll blog, the fact that we had another instanced boss was the biggest one.

• When I reviewed this feedback, the more...

oooh, I love this!

Here is the Glassdoor listing for content developers in the UK

I believe this was related to the on-going server issues as it were, based on my conversations with staff we haven't started this process just yet as we wanted to give comms ahead of time as much as we can.

That would likely have been related to on-going login server issues, we haven't started this process just yet until we tried to get some comms out in the duration.

It hasn't happened yet, we haven't started it hence why we're getting this message out here and in-game.

Hello everyone, as you may have seen we've been having some loginserver issues which have affected some of our players.

To address this, we're going to be performing some work to fix these issues, however, please be aware this may log you out in-game, so please refrain from doing dangerous activities in-game. Once we've fixed this, we'll let you know.

Additionally, we'll send out a broadcast in-game to make sure as many people are made aware of this.

EDIT: The login issues have now been fixed, you may now resume your activities!

We should now be back to normal service!

Hey everyone,

As tweeted out by JagexSupport there is an outage on login servers at the moment.

We're currently chasing up!

15:30 game time: We're performing server work to try and fix the outage currently on-going!

15:40 game time: We should now be back to normal service!

I think there are some points worth making. Firstly, even if you say this isn't aimed at the OSRS team, they are going to still read and still be hurt by it. That is the nature of having such a passionate team.

Secondly, I don't agree with the idea of OSRS being poor value. When compared with other activities the amount of hours entertainment people get from OSRS is huge. You can easily spend a whole year's subscription going to the cinema 6 times or 2 nights out at a pub. In fact it is inline with Netflix, Nowtv and Amazon Video.

However, that is not to say some things shouldn't be improved.

I'm glad you liked it! :)
