My god I hope this passes. Would love to see this kind of treatment given to the other houses as well

Fingers crossed. There are plans to give other houses similar treatment sometime in the future!

Why aren't you addressing the main problem with Tithe Farm, which is the lack of left clicking to plant/water seeds? It suffers from the same problem chompy hunting used to have, before it was fixed.

Feel free to nerf the xp if you think it would be too strong, most people just want the outfit anyway.

This update isn't meant to be a rework for the Tithe farm, but we know it's something that's wanted. We're having discussions into how we can improve the Tithe in the future - we know that constantly right-click doesn't make for good gameplay, for instance.

Why is it that can't you use the recovery system? That's the route you'll want to take, if you're unable to receive the emails with your current email address

I mean, it says "won't be polled until"... I think they just forgot to remove the poll question.

That's my bad - the poll quest has been removed from the blog and won't be in the in-game poll on Friday.

The town area of Hosidius reminds me of what I really appreciated about towns when I first started playing runescape; towns that were actually areas that looked like someone lived there, with homes and businesses and public spaces. Lumbridge and Varrock and Falador all are towns, and I’d argue Lovakenj is pretty close.

I've passed these comments onto West - he' much appreciates them. I like this point in particular about making areas feel "lived in" - I know he was going for that and agree that he's pulled it off.

you dont notice difference between 60fps and 15fps?

for the usual things you're doing (like fishing or afk slayer)

I'm not really paying attention when I use mobile personally; I definitely think it'd be noticeable doing something more intensive for sure :P

Maybe I should have worded that better, sorry! :)

Comment

Very much so. I personally use 15 FPS all the time. On mobile the change is minimal/barely noticeable in terms of performance for the usual things you're doing (like fishing or afk slayer) and the battery drain is a nice chunk less!

You can't see them o.o (This'll be fixed this week, thanks.)

Watson's house is now further away from a teleport than it previously was. (Spirit tree previously). The only reason I've been going to this area is handing clues to that guy, so this update seems to affect me personally negatively. :(

Partially the reason for the Watson teleport scrolls from the upcoming clue scroll update :)

you can expect a competitive salary

Could you give us an actual salary rather than your opinion on the salary?

No, individual salaries are negotiated on a person by person basis and relate to skills and experience offered by the candidate, within a framework we use to offer a competitive benchmark salary against similar roles in the industry.

/u/Mod_Stevew, how competitive are developer roles at OSRS team? I work in London in financial machine learning but want to know whether games studios are very popular. We hire around 10% of people invited on-site, many come from local Cambridge university. Do you have similar rates of hiring or are you even more selective?

Can't really speak for dev teams as I only hire for Player Support - we hire about 25% of those invited on site, and those invited in are about 5% of all total candidates from the initial applicant pool.
