for visibility, i left a comment on this topic on another thread
(TL:DR; I’ll be looking into reducing the time between waves & increasing the stagger times across worlds when we’re back to work in jan, so stars are falling more often)
Is that why Deg and Orion (among others) publicly said they were leaving Rs3 team to work on "unannounced project"?
Not to sound cunty but nice try gas-lighting.
Leaving a team is definitely different from a person being "siphoned away". I actively chose to join this project when there was the chance to. I wanted to help shape this game from day 0 into something really cool, and use my experiences I'd gained from my time at Jagex to contribute to this project. I wasn't siphoned away, and the RuneScape team found a wonderful CM to take my place. Everyone on this project is here by choice.
will this be another drain of Jagex resources that is closed in a year while serious game issues are ignored for rs3?
The issues that the RS3 team work on and address are wholly disconnected and separate from the work that the Survival game team is doing. We're separate projects! Hope the issues you're encountering get resolved soon, all the same. Have a great day.
> And before anyone says "oh but it would be too OP without the limit" remember we can only do 3 stars per day anyway so whats the point of the teleport limit?
To encourage people to at least find the other two?
yes, this - i didn’t want having the outfit to basically negate having to put in any of the gameplay effort at all
(and i know with daily resets you can do 6 stars, but i don’t think we should be balancing around reset numbers)
Key received! I was looking for a copy of the NDA if it's available?
An example copy of the NDA will be reshared in the Alpha tester Discord if folks want to pick up a copy for reference! The Discord server is role-specific and won't open until tomorrow's Alpha starts, though.
Pull the plug now so we can get all the mods that were siphoned away back.
Entirely different teams, nobody was "siphoned away" - nobody has been rerouted from Old School or RuneScape projects, the teams are exactly as they have always been!
i'm interested in reading more people's thoughts on this (i'm off for the holidays now but will keep an eye on socials - any changes wouldn't be coming in until january regardless)
i'd be open to reducing the time between each wave (though likely to something like 1hr 30 or 1hr 15 to still allow sufficient time for finishing the star + breathing room until the next one) & increasing the stagger time between worlds (so effectively this would work as stars being available a lot of the time, across worlds)
this was something that was discussed a fair bit during development FWIW (with pros and cons to each) - personally i feel it is quite integral to the identity of a D&D that it's not always-on
Hi Doom! My buddy gave me one of his friend invites as he had already been accepted in; I filled out the form a couple days ago but haven't received any correspondence since then, is that normal?
No problem, we'll be contacting friend invites over the coming days, so stay tuned!
If we signed up last time you posted do we need to sign up again or will we be automatically entered into the closed alpha selection process?
No need to reapply, we still have your data! Thank you!
Hey Mod Doom, I hope you're well! I signed up using both of my brothers invites, yet haven't recieved an invite from either yet, I don't think i'm doing anything wrong! The first invite didn't request his discord user but the second did.
I've had no emails, discord notifications or steam invites, how would I go about getting this checked?
No problem! If you signed up, we'll be sending keys to folks who registered using the invite links tomorrow!
u/JagexDoom are we supposed to get any kind of confirmation email or will it just be radio silence until invites go out? Still not even sure I properly signed up the first time 😂
You can try reapplying if you want, and we would prune a duplicate application if we needed to - if you haven't heard from us, it's not a "no", but just a "You've not been chosen yet!"
I’d forgotten about this project.
I really hope it sees full release, and pray it’s not yet another Jagex project that gets shut down shortly after launch either. Hopefully one that can be played singleplayer even if they do abandon it after launch.
Cynicism aside, I’m excited to see what a non-MMO project set in the RS universe will look like.
I think there's a healthy amount of cynicism to be had, but I also think that we're doing things right, and staying the course on this one. We've got an Alpha test schedule planned out to help us hit milestones and do our due diligence with this. No rushing, no deadlines, no emphasis on getting this out the door to hit a target.
We only get one chance at a first impression! If we do this right, we can make something truly special. I'm really excited to be part of this journey and everything I've seen so far only makes me more excited.
I'd love to know as well - maybe I'll get an email if i post this, haha.
Existing applications are still valid, no need to reapply!
I've signed up twice now already (from previous enrollments) - no invite, sadly.
You only need to sign up once. If the random selection hasn't chosen you yet, don't be discouraged, as we're still rolling out alpha tests and updates as we go, so there's a chance you'll get to try it, get hands-on and give us feedback soon!
I signed up a while back but didn't get an email confirmation that it was submitted. Is that normal?
Yup, that's normal! We'll email with news if you're selected, but won't spam you with an email if you haven't been chosen at that point yet!
Hi everyone, Mod Doom here!
I'm the Senior Community Manager on Jagex's new Survival Crafting game in Unreal Engine 5, set in the RuneScape Universe. We've been running closed Alpha tests for the past two months, and we're excited to be running another Alpha test over the coming few weeks. We'd love to hear from you if you've not signed up before, as we're looking to invite more users to join us - and bring some friends, too!
this is on our radar! fix will not be out until the new year however
