How is that not a joke

It's a rope, but longer

A lot of really cool stuff here! One I'm super confused why it needs to be a thing:

Poll Question #15: Should it be possible for Patchy the pirate to combine the Dark Claw from Skotizo and Flippers from Mogres to create the Dark Flippers? The Dark Flippers are a cosmetic alternative to the Flippers and maintain the same functionality as the originals.

This seems totally random and doesn't really fit any theme, unless I'm totally missing something.

If this were to be released, I think it should be a bigger update with multiple options. This seems like just trying to make more use of Dark Claws, which if anything should be addressed to all unique slayerhelm secondaries/other one use uniques IMO

Since Mod Curse created it and shared on socials there was a lot of support to just "add it" so we thought "hey, why don't we include this in the poll, that would be cool" and that's exactly what we did lol.

I wouldn't be against cosmetics coming from other areas of the game, but this one is just meant to be a bit of fun and adding more variety to your fashionscape game.

only accounts that have racked up some PKs on PvP worlds in the last few months are eligible to vote (kills obtained in the last couple of weeks since we've been discussing this plan won't count): others will be forced to skip.

That's not a good classification because plenty of people play on PvP worlds that aren't actively pking (pvp only hcim or just thrill seekers for example)

It should be set to people that have spent a certain amount of time on these pvp worlds in a certain timeframe, people that will be able to be targeted with the OP weapon in their usual gameplay should be able to have a say. If not, don't poll it.

The reason behind PvP worlds is to encourage PvP activity, and this weapon would directly relate to PvP activity.

If you're using these worlds for other reasons and have concerns over what might happen to you there as a non-PvP player, you might want to consider going to one of the many other worlds available.

We typically do this for anything that comes with a toggle, as it's likely the ones that want to have the change apply will enable it anyway

Yes to all the collection log and side panel updates! Just wondering, would it possible to poll adding collection log slots unlocked to the hiscores if this number is now readily available in code? Would add a new dimension to the hiscores that I think is missing!

I believe Collection Log hiscores have been discussed but we want to make sure they're stable before adding more things.

edit: nvm thought it was from mossy rock -> cave entrance but it's actually cave entrance -> bottom floor which just skips the agility rocks, permanent is fine for that.

I'm pretty sure its a permanent unlock, either way I'll get it clarified in a revised blog on Monday with any other changes :)

I like the idea of adding more uses for the long rope for better agility shortcuts; would love to see more of those in the future.

I've been enjoying the updates regarding it from Mod Arcane. The Combat Achievements one is going to be awesome!

Regarding the Side-Panel Update : Wouldn't it be better if this side panel was added elsewhere, like Account Management tab for instance? The quest/achievement/minigame/favor tab is cluttered enough imo

Given almost all of the functionality it will have invovles the other sections of this side-panel it made sense to add it into there as an overview page, rather than putting it elsewhere that then pulls into other panels.

You'll notice a new icon in that image which is also where Combat Achievements will sit!

Why does it need so high agility AND a special item? IMO is should be either or

Because its only real use is for Master Clue Scroll convenience it felt like adding higher requirements was fair. The rope isn't a huge cost and if you're farming Master Clues its very likely you'd have already unlocked access to purchase them (and if not, you probably should!)

Nope, it would be untradeable (I'll add that to the blog)

For question 12, can you clarify whether this would impact the rarity of uniques? I'm assuming the answer is no, but it'd probably be good to get confirmation on that.

Oh yeah sure I can look to add that info in. It wouldn't impact the unique chance by the way!

It’s one of my favorite bosses and would look pretty awesome mid stomp animation in my POH with tornadoes around it and lit up floor tiles!

I don't see why not, though it might be best to see how this question does in the polls first.

It looks thought out enough to me. Some more niche content and world building... all for stuff like this. If you look at the island in game right now it appears as if this update was something they likely planned prior to its release and not something half baked in two weeks.

Mod Ry actually developed it in his free time and we wanted to include it with the release of Soul Wars but as you can probably tell from this blog, a lot of it needs polling, and we couldn't fit it in with time due to other polls and workload.

It's definitely had a lot of love put into it :)

How would you propose we make this fair for normie accounts that had drops before the Collection Log released?

I'm sorry you feel that way but I think they were all pretty well thought out. Maybe if you were still playing you'd be more in touch with the changes proposed?

It's a game improvements blog, not exactly the flashiest of content, maybe that's why you feel it's disconnected? I'm seeing a LOT of support elsewhere for what's been offered, not sure how I can change that for you, but please let me know if you have other suggestions!

Tempoross is coming soon, it's still being developed :)

Oh they'd be normal clay rocks! I'll make sure that gets changed thank you :)

Should Gilded and 3rd Age pieces from the Hard, Elite and Master Clue Scroll sections be separated into their own sections so it’s more feasible to complete them? Hard, Elite and Master Mega-rare Clue Scroll sections would be added specifically for these items.

Why not just have a megarare tab with all hard, elite and master gilded/3a pieces? Would be a lot cleaner.

The reason behind multiple sections is because part of the point of the Collection Log is to also allow people to see which tier the items come from. We discussed this and felt while 3 tabs may look a little more clunky, it still retains the benefits of why items are in multiple tabs too.

Sorry if someone already asked but why would more accurate kc times need a toggle? Can't you just show the accurate times always? I don't see any downsides to that.

We typically do this for anything that comes with a toggle, as it's likely the ones that want to have the change apply will enable it anyway.

Plus the change would make the text a little less "cleaner" I guess? Some people might not like that, and if anyone doesn't know the update happened, it's likely they'll send a bug report about it (that happens a fair bit!)

Poll Question #11

Should the Jar of Spirits be added to the Corporeal Beast loot table? This jar can be used to showcase your very own Corporeal Beast in your Player Owned House. Inclusion of the jar would not impact the drop rate of existing unique items and would have a drop rate of 1/1000.

Hmm, drop rate isn't too terrible, say you get 8 kills/hour solo, that puts it back at 125 hours to get the Jar on average. Or ranging from 250-333 hours (3-4p/hour), which is around . Still an order of magnitude less than Skitizo's jar of darkness, and given the other drops gather on route to the jar, it's just inevitable from a longer Corp grind. Not too shabby a jar.

Poll Question #13

Should there be a small chance of receiving bird's egg nests when emptying a full bird house? This change would not impact the amount of seed nests you would otherwise receive.

Would this remove the existing chance of getting clue scrolls from birdhouses? There's nothing more exciting than taking a quick birdhouse break and getting a quick clue to break up the day a bit, would be a shame to lose that the expense of getting 100 prayer xp, another nest and a chicken outfit.

The only change being made with Poll Question #13 is slightly lowering the chance of receiving empty nests (2%) and ring nests (1%) - all other nests will remain unchanged!

It will yeah, this little bit of text is just below the Collection Log poll questions:

In addition to the above poll questions, we will also be updating the Collection Log to include various items from other activities that are currently missing. Is there something in particular you think should be included? Then let us know by replying to the feedback links at the bottom of this blog!

No plans at the moment, literally just something we've talked about rather than started to design kind of thing. I imagine it would just be the total number of items collected though?

The Master Clue step within the Viyeldi Caves is infamous for being very time consuming to reach. We’d like to propose speeding it up slightly by adding a shortcut that allows players to scale down the cliff in Viyeldi Caves rather than navigating their way to the bottom. This shortcut would require 91 Agility and long ropes from the Darkmeyer General Store to complete.

Just let me jump off the top and take the 50 damage or whatever.

Let's make it a random amount of damage from 1 to 250 so you can test your luck!
