Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

To add something,

Those of who you have seen your share of these streams know I once hosted with the intentions of getting through as many questions as possible. I received a lot of heat for this and many people thought I didn't enjoy the Q&As because I took them too seriously. It seems to be the case that we simply won't be able to please everyone. We have to find a balance between being informative and entertaining.

That pid eat was clutch

Can you link me to the evidence you submitted? How do you know nothing has happened? If a player receives a mute for player harassment, we don't message the players who reported said player to let them know he's muted.

After asking a question, I typically let the devs take the answer as it's almost always a question best left to them. I then begin prepping the next question/grabbing questions from the chat etc. In this instance, Ash took over and I assumed the question had been answered by the end of it. What ended up happening is Ash clarified it wasn't to be a beta test but more of a load test. As for the date, it's yet to be decided but we're aiming for late November or early December at the latest.

Apologies, I'll be sure to chase up and check if the question has been answered correctly in the future.

Fixed.

Fixed.

We're investigating this at the minute, thanks.

PvP only HCIM

That sounds terrifying

On the contrary, we do take action against player harassment and after corroborating on the back end, I have applied the appropriate offense to this player.

If you'd like action taken, this stuff needs to be reported. In-game reports are often sufficient but screenshot/video evidence sent to me via Twitter is preferred.

It's a joke around the team how invested I am with the Heavy Ballista and trying to make it balanced for all combat levels. It's a struggle and they're bullies. Ronan made that title so that I couldn't see it (he's the biggest bully on the team).

As a reply to some comments on this thread - we don't poll balancing fixes. Anyone who has PKed with or against a Heavy Ballista in the past knows it was deserving of a stat adjustment. Also, not enough time has passed since the change to accurately gauge just how significant this change is and as mentioned, we'll continue to monitor this change throughout the week and make further adjustments if need b...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Mage has recently received the Tome of Fire and Dragon Claws are to be polled but we shouldn't assume they will pass. I'd love to see Mage get a viable KO weapon but we need ideas more than anything.

We'll be talking about the ballista in today's Q&A.

The Ballista nerf was a balancing fix. It is still extremely powerful and will continue to be a viable PK weapon. We really just wanted to nerf the Ballista to Granite Maul combo which was quite overpowered.
