Everyone now has the previously ‘boosted’ drop rate
I feel for this too. It would be clearer if it said something like:
"So from now on, Warpriest Armour will drop at the increased rate for everybody."
Though I should probably have more faith that the point of the change wasn't to screw players over.
I originally wrote it that way but it got edited out :/ we’ll be adding it back in shortly!
I like the format, very clear. small question! from what I'm reading, the PAG basically knows beforehand what updates may come to runescape, is there anything set in place to prevent them or their friends from abusing insider info?
When the PAG members were selected they were picked for being trustworthy and dedicated to the game and the community. We're monitoring their accounts and communications to ensure that they aren't abusing any information they may have gained from this process.
It's also worth noting that the PAG was formed as a way for players to guide and influence game content. Their input was subject to change and polish from the Ninja Team who ultimately decided what would make it into the game in in what form.
Does this mean we can log into dead hardcore ironman accounts now and have them be normal ones?
Edit: Also does this mean you no longer get more lifes?
Existing Dead HCIM should be able to login again and play as an ironman after today's update.
Upon death, Hardcore Ironman accounts will automatically be downgraded to Ironman accounts. This will happen regardless of whether the account owns additional life items, such as the Jar of Divine Light.
This sounds like you will be converted to a regular ironman, even if you have "lives" left? Is that right?
only if you have no lives left you will be converted to a regular ironman. So additional lives will still work like they always have.
The ‘Wushanko: The Arc’ achievement no longer requires the following for completion:
What's the reasoning for this?
Just had a quick look at the associated job to this: So the Wushanko: The Arc achievement was basically to complete the arc journal and awarded the 'voyager' title. However the removed achievements were never actually required for the the arc journal completion / voyager title, meaning players could complete the journal without completing the associated achievement.To make the process less confusing without removing players existing titles / adding more requirements to the journal, the unnecessary achievements were removed as requirements for Wushanko: The Arc
New format is great for finding all the update changes in a single post.
However, I think having certain tabs be overly length can be an issue though. For example the "Meet the Player Advocacy Group" could have just linked to the initial post talking about each member rather than it being a copy and paste of it thus pushing down actual new information down.
Also it seems a bit odd to me personally to have descriptions of some core changes and then also the patch note of the same change just under. I see it as saying the same thing twice. Maybe do what the previous patch notes did and use the description field for these core changes?
Thanks for the feedback!
The new format is part of an ongoing evolution of how we want to deliver information and news to our community. It might not be perfect first time, but it's paving the way for future iterations.
We opted to go a little heavier on the PAG coverage to maintain the transparency and dialogue we feel is important to the process. We could have simply linked to the previous post but we'd rather make it as easy as possible for newcomers to understand what's going on.
Similarly doubling down on the ninja changes is us trying to make it as clear as possible what has changed.
So is the HCIM bit worded horribly or does the life system still work?
Upon death, Hardcore Ironman accounts will automatically be downgraded to Ironman accounts. This will happen regardless of whether the account owns additional life items, such as the Jar of Divine Light.
This should, I assume, read
Upon a final death with no remaining lives...
I REALLY hope this is a common case of the person that wrote this up knowing nothing about HCIM mode lol
We've updated the newspost to make this a little more clear.
Is it 3 or 4 umbral chest from twitch prime? Says 3 on Twitch and 4 on patch notes
It should be 4 chests.
Where abouts are you seeing 3?
was "This Week at Bungie" of any influence?
This Week at Bungie
Surprisingly not, but great minds think alike!
The single-post format is good, I think, but keeping text post content behind tabs is generally not a best practice for websites. I would instead just have regular linked sections (meaning #section_name URLs) but keep everything visible on the page at once.
The page respects #anchors to navigate between tabs :)

Keeping everything visible at once creates a bit of information overload for some of our longer posts, plus it makes it harder to find the information that matters to you.
Yes! This is much better than seeing 'game update' with no proper update. Happy for this change! Curious now though if it will still be called the same thing when there is a new update haha, or maybe it will just have game update as one of the menus?
Glad you like it!
The current plan is to maintain the new This Week In RuneScape branding to keep it feeling more grass roots and community driven. That said, we'll be keeping a close eye on feedback and tweak accordingly!
Love the new format, much easier to navigate. Also as a returner I like the little updates that we get every week so thank you for that as well.
Glad you like it!
Looks like some positive changes this week, nice.
New format, good. Would it be possible for the navigation to be "sticky" so that I can switch between tabs even when scrolled down the page. It's weird scrolling back up or clicking back to top to move between the information.
Any update on when we can expect a fix for: "The memory could not be %s. (c0000005)". This is a separate issue and will be fixed in an upcoming client update. "
Hey, should there be no issues with the fix in our release build then should be set to launch at the end of this month (27th).
Thanks for your patience!
