0s hi everybody and welcome to the
2s runescape weekly Q&A you may notice that
4s I am NOT Shawnee I'm JD Sean he's on
8s holiday this week so I have taken on his
11s mantle and I will be presenting today
12s think of me as the substitute teacher on
15s the and these guys are the unruly pupils
19s for the day you as you might have seen
23s we have some new faces on the sofa
25s they're all a new face on the sofa this
26s week and a couple of familiar faces so
29s I'm gonna start by introducing Maude
31s dawn hello who is one of our German
34s localization team I'd I think actually
37s the first member of the localization
39s team ever to come on so everyone's get
41s live streaming so we wanted to try nice
43s juice a few new people onto the live
44s streams and show you guys that there is
47s a lot else that goes into how we make
49s the game and I wondered if you could
51s give a little kind of rundown as to a
53s day in your life dawn yeah well Dana
55s life is a bit difficult because every
58s day is different it depends on whatever
60s the developers are working on it also
62s depends on other teams like the web
64s teams so usually so we translate into
67s German French and Brazil apologies and
72s basically one person each team picks up
76s a project translates it and another
79s person goes through it so basically
81s testing in the game or editing like a
84s news post and then it goes like you do
87s everything from updates to month ahead
90s videos news posts everything kind of
93s runs through the localize I think the
95s only exception is like those kind of
97s streams but apart from that we do almost
100s everything and what is the points the
104s best part about being a localization for
108s me as a player because I've been playing
110s for over 10 years now it's cool to see
113s how things are working behind the scenes
115s and have like a insight about all the
118s things we are working on we obviously
120s can't talk about sometimes yes vehicle
122s and you are actually we have internal
124s high scores a jagex fair for people's
126s runescape accounts you know I thought I
128s looked before we came on the stream I
129s think you're number 7 yeah I think so
132s so there you are kind of one of the you
135s are maxed as well on you yeah so you're
136s one of the kind of the big runescape
138s players and the team so hoping that
140s we're gonna be able to get some good
141s insight from you over the course of the
143s next kind of 45 minutes to an hour or so
144s yeah hopefully cool so yeah the other
147s guys on this side for today a little bit
148s more familiar faces what's due two weeks
150s in a row yeah happy to have you on the
153s live stream our moderator who is a very
154s familiar face come on
156s so a few things before we start into the
160s Q&A session so a lot of people have been
163s asking about the runescape survey the
165s plan is to release the runescape 2019
168s content survey this Friday so you guys
171s can have your say on everything that we
173s want to do in the next few months and as
176s I said that should be coming out on
177s Friday hopefully the month ahead with it
180s as well
180s we haven't a couple of hiccups today due
183s to absence an illness in the team so
185s we're hoping to get that out by the end
186s of the week and if not we will let you
188s know ahead of time but the survey should
189s be going live regardless if that goes
192s live or not
193s so some raffle as well kicks off on
197s Sunday I believe that's the 1st of the
199s month yep I think it's the first my yeah
202s my dates right yeah so that goes live on
204s Sunday so don't forget that the first
206s raffle will be going live on Sunday
208s rather than next Monday and so just make
210s yourself aware that those prizes an
212s offer I'm going to be chucking in a few
214s tickets myself this year and then the
219s Roofus schedule as well a few questions
220s we've had about the Roofus schedule it's
224s I've worked on six room fests now I
227s think something like that and I've seen
230s what the keynote looks like for
231s runescape this year and I would go as
233s far as say it was the best keynote that
235s I've seen in recent history yes looking
240s good yeah I don't know how much I can
242s say no I don't know yeah
245s I've not seen a type notification sorry
247s no but you might find some of these
249s answers to the questions that you are
250s asking stay will be you can find out
252s more at reinvests we're not being
253s deliberately obtuse unfortunately there
255s are things that we can and can't say
257s about things you want think things to be
258s as exciting as possible for you guys
259s when you when we get when we announce
261s them and it's likely that there will be
263s content that comes very soon after
266s first as well so I'm really excited I
270s can't wait
271s I love reversed well the best times the
272s year after you can see me wearing my
273s wrapping my shirt and I can't wait for
276s you guys to see what it's all about will
277s be released in the schedule some point
278s next week so you can see what kinds of
279s things we'll be doing and the plan is
281s this year to be streaming the panel
283s stage as well which I know is always a
285s big buck there for those people who have
287s they would see it before aren't able to
288s come to the event so we will be
290s streaming the panel stage this year as
291s well again a really strong lineup on
293s that stage I know
294s Raven you'll be part of one of the
296s sessions leading one of the sessions as
297s well there'll be the lower corner as
299s always obviously the best of the panel
301s sessions I mean it's a good one I'm not
305s going to put my cards on the table yet
306s because you haven't seen the rest of
307s them but no they are they are very very
309s good and I cannot wait to release what
312s they are next week and then finally at
315s which point package is still available
316s on on twitch prime if you click the
318s crown in the top corner of your twitch
320s window you should be able to get the
322s currency pack our currency pack which
323s has 200 rune coins 40 or 15 keys and 40
326s hearts of ice in there and one of the
328s things that we always encourage you to
329s do is when if you have to which prime it
331s does matter if you've got the loot or
333s not use your free sub on a runescape
336s streamer give them a little bit of
337s support show your support by giving them
340s your your free monthly prime sub thank
343s you very much and on the on the screen
345s now you can see that what John has just
348s put that up there so yes just click the
350s the crown and top part top part of your
352s switch window and you should be able to
354s get it from that and there is one thing
356s that I wanted to address quickly before
359s we get into the main body of the
360s questions and it's been spammed in the
362s chat quite a lot obviously over the last
364s week or so they've been a couple of
366s departures from Jagex
367s I can't go into details about the actual
370s departures themselves but we are a
372s company of about 400 people and these
375s kinds of things sometimes do happen as
377s much as it's not a nice situation to be
381s in some of the time and we never want to
383s see people leave Jagex sometimes it does
386s happen and it's a coincidence that it's
387s happened twice in the space of a week it
390s won't impact things like development
392s moving forward and we are in a position
396s where we would like to be able to again
399s back
399s rolls and make sure that we can bring in
401s people who are let's say bringing mobile
408s to the table for instance cuz I know
409s that mod edge for instance was working
411s on mobile as say it won't impact the
413s delivery of delivery day or anything
415s like that but we'd like to bolster those
417s teams as much as we can
418s yeah moving forward to say it's a it's
421s we can't really discuss but it does
424s happen and I'd say we can move forward
426s from here so I have a couple of
430s icebreaker questions for you guys and
433s one of them was suggested by a person
436s called random misses throw away which I
438s like the reddit name and if it's if
441s you're a goblin what colored goblin mail
443s would you wear blue orange or brown can
447s we assume I know this is a quest this is
449s a little bit of a trick question but ya
451s know assume that you can actually wear
453s it probably blue well yeah
456s stick yeah I think bran that working
458s skipped right to the end of the quest
461s like that logic Oh purple I'm going to
465s be different purple stand out I'm going
467s to get mine and dip it into something
471s standard standard moderation going to
474s wit the answer and then just one more
476s icebreaker questions to get things
477s lubricated nice and well let's say what
481s three items have you take to a desert
482s island start with you more dawn
486s chocolate cake I don't know I mean in
490s three and three slices or three
493s chocolate cakes
493s I don't know wanna survive so having a
496s chocolate cakes on thinking cool thing
499s it's a good way I go yeah
501s escape what the desert island then gonna
504s use in chance water tiara so I don't I
507s can't you with the logic I mean if we're
511s gonna assume that you did the desert
513s island isn't a metaphor so you know
515s completing the Condors quest isn't going
518s to help
518s I guess what cops is gonna have to bring
521s along a mobile device the patrons get
523s mobile and probably about 300 miles of
525s fiber-optic cable so that I can set up
527s some kind of a internet access which
529s that wasn't really without works but
531s still
532s yeah building yeah Raven I can't wait
536s for this answer a boat someone to row
541s the boat because I can't and a book for
545s the journey back I think is will go with
547s that book would you go with something
548s interesting I don't know some there's
550s something random okay cool
552s okay well that's that's the the tight
554s the icebreaker questions this must be
556s important questions yeah asking the
558s important questions ok so last week we
560s showed off some of the the new player
562s experience stuff that you've been
563s working on to do seem to get a fairly
566s decent reaction how were you how did you
567s feel that when yeah overall very
570s positive I once it's a few questions on
574s reddit off afterwards but people
576s generally were very positive about it
578s I've had a lot of communication with
580s players through that process getting the
582s design put together initially and during
584s the journey particular underscored so
586s there isn't much rule there that would
587s be a surprise to people who are deeply
589s invested one thing that in particular
591s that jumped out was quite a few people
594s were asking for a teleport to where
596s Tyrael or sprea the slave master usually
599s is that something that we had on our
600s backlog of singles we're already aware
602s of but given we've had quite a few more
604s because what I'm going to try to
605s prioritize getting that out sooner it's
607s still gonna be a post release thing
608s because that that update is currently in
611s an RC build is currently being tested
612s for later deployment so it's too late to
614s add and more features right now but I'm
616s working on doing that as a post release
618s fix what in between fixing other issues
620s Co and if anybody's got any suggestions
622s for things that they would like to see
624s or things that they have noticed that
627s they might think would be a good
628s addition then where do they go where
630s should they go to give you that feedback
632s well my Twitter jagex - there's a good
634s choice also particularly for the booth
637s heavily decluttering this a little too
639s heavily section on the Auris discord
642s otherwise you're posting on reddit
644s because I read that cool there were a
647s couple of things about introducing new
650s players to Slayer quite so early on in
651s the process given that it's a member
653s skill feels like you're kind of giving
655s something then taking them taking that
656s away you put really good answer I'm
658s ready I just wanted to kind of see if
660s you can repeat it for the for the stream
663s audience I explained myself a lot better
665s in tick
665s so I have a feeling that the stuff on
667s reddit is probably gonna be the most
668s eloquent answer but I'll try to recall
670s it
671s so basically players already have in the
674s free-to-play access to all member skills
677s up to level 5 so it's not nothing
679s there's going to be completely locked
680s off but also although Tyrael is the one
683s who's introducing you to these skills we
686s only do Slayer in the final path of
689s those introductory paths that we're
691s adding
691s and so Slayer is this kind of
694s progression and reward layer on top of
696s core combat and the intention is to
697s teach the core loops of those skills
699s first so we got to do the process of how
703s you prepare for combat so that gives how
705s you um here's how you can find food and
708s in the world in the opening area here's
709s how you use your skills to cook it
711s here's how to make equipment that you
713s would be to wear in order to defeat
715s these enemies and we give that
717s information to you through the medium of
719s a new centralized activity tracker the
721s routing which give you those objectives
723s so we don't we don't do any Slayer tasks
726s until the very end of it so all the
728s stuff can be done I'm a free to play
730s fantastic as I say that's probably as
732s eloquent as as there the reddit threats
734s are well done in terms of the changes
738s that are coming are you able to
739s summarize sort of in a bullet point list
741s what what the kind of the highlights the
743s players can expect yeah there is a lot
745s and four things that we're doing on
747s desktop for just the tip of the iceberg
749s but the key thing is as say the new
752s activity tracker so there's several
754s different systems in the game currently
756s that's are used to point you towards
759s content so like your current active
760s tasks your Slayer track the mini game or
764s D&D you have tracked on the old active
766s tasks window the achievement tracker has
768s its own tracker so the activity tracker
771s is a centralized space to put all that
774s that content together so that if you
776s ever not sure what this breadcrumb trail
778s is leading you to something in the wind
779s the world the system is the one that you
782s can have on your screen and turn the
784s thing off if you want to or to track
786s something and have different you're
788s tracking of different skills and so
791s forth it's all in one centralized spot
793s we've also subtly reworked the prayer
795s window behind the hood it's a complete
797s rework but some
799s player facing there's just like one
800s extra button down the bottom the but the
804s whole buff bar has also been reworked
805s we've got a detail about exact changes
808s there but basically that's again a whole
810s new system we work with some player
812s facing benefits and we are decluttering
816s the starting area after tutorial island
818s where players length just birth up and
820s terribly splitting those into two more
822s distinct spaces getting rid of a lot of
824s the clutter and visual noise and a new
829s tutorial for the first couple of hours
832s of your gameplay after landing from
834s doctoral Island which introduces us a to
836s a lot of the the core mechanics of the
837s game and where to find the resources
840s that you need to progress in the game
841s initially giving you a much more honest
844s understanding of the gameplay great
846s oh there be a question from the chat
848s will there be any new achievements with
850s these new systems let's see so so in
854s practice the system uses achievement
857s such a ten so a path has a list of
859s achievements ninety nine percent of
862s these achievements although if we
863s created a lot of new ones they're
864s entirely optional they're hidden away on
866s optional books for Perth up entirely
869s which above the level 250 unit might be
873s able to see those they just hidden away
874s for new players and there aren't
875s irrelevant anybody else one thing in
877s particular that jumps out though is that
879s in one of the lumbridge paths we've
880s added a master quest requirements to the
883s Lumbridge catacombs and so when you make
885s the moscow dragon earn that reward is
888s now a cosmetic override and there's a
890s mazda quest requirements to assemble the
893s moscow tracks doing that's as far as I
896s can recall the only mandatory as it were
898s achievement or something fantastic
900s okay yeah as we mentioned if you have
903s any other feedback for first you or for
904s anybody else the VOD from last week is
907s on youtube so if you want to check out
908s so well that looks like but also there
910s is a discord channel for the birth walk
912s tab early changes as well or
914s decluttering let's call it on the on the
917s runescape discord so go in there share
919s your feelings and we will be monitoring
922s them Raven now we were talking a while
926s back
927s probably back this time last month we
929s released the player and farm
931s changes the release the blog for it
934s sorry yes do we have any update on that
936s at all
937s we were hoping to have an update to be
939s able to roll out this week but it's not
940s quite
941s London we're not we're not willing to
943s discuss anything in detail until we've
946s got everything signed off and agreed to
947s mm-hmm unfortunately as we've discovered
950s various people apparently have the
951s plague and so we're unable to do all
956s that signed offering we're hoping to
957s bring Xu everyone soon we've made some
961s changes the initial pilot is not quite
963s so you can largely discard most of what
965s we said previously we take and serve
967s feedback from the players on board we've
969s looked to where the the key issues are
971s based on player feedback and we've
972s adjusted there will still be enough
975s because we know it needs it but we've
977s also adjusted kind of what we're looking
979s at and things are after many of the
981s things that were really frustrating
983s we've changed quite dramatically like
985s the food is one that was brought up
987s quite a lot as a message of a problem
989s thing of like kids too expensive to be
990s animals and kind of frustration point so
992s we've looked at that and we've adjusted
994s we haven't we have increased the amount
996s of food needed but it's only really a
998s minor change and it shouldn't really
999s affect how people actually play the farm
1001s is just to adjust things a little bit to
1003s make it so the farm isn't just
1006s completely free XP for no effort so
1008s we've made we've made some changes I
1011s think people should like it we've been
1014s extensively play testing it we've had a
1015s group of people who've been playing it
1017s as as players play it so logging in you
1019s know every day over every was of a long
1021s period of time and checking how their
1022s farms grow and what they've done with
1024s the animals and it's come along well the
1026s feedback has been has been very positive
1028s it should still maintain a lot of what
1030s made farming special won't feel good but
1033s reduce some of the trouble let's call it
1037s that some of the things caused the game
1039s previously so it should be you should
1041s fit more in line with what the community
1043s is looking for in terms of who have
1045s taken everyone's feedback on board quite
1046s heavily but I can't talk any specifics
1049s yet because people are dying of plague
1051s so there is a question from the chat I
1053s think you've kind of touched on it /
1055s half arm today is it just an XP neck
1057s speed nerf all in the earth breeding
1059s rates and selling prices for beans and
1061s stuff as well
1062s go into too much detail I don't excuse
1064s deal we're not just Inc selling prices I
1067s don't think we ever were adjusting
1069s selling prices we've made some tweaks
1073s with breeding but it's not quite what it
1075s was before it should be aligned quite
1077s nicely it'll still feel very positive
1079s but it we are making some reductions to
1081s how many animals are in the game because
1083s there's just too many of them but it
1085s shouldn't feel too frustrating just
1087s frustrating we're also adding in some
1093s while we're doing some nurse writing in
1096s some buffs that maybe weren't considered
1098s before as well so basically the goal of
1101s what we're doing and again I can't look
1103s in huge amounts of detail is to change
1105s it from being free XP for no effort into
1107s being XP for some effort it's still
1111s maintaining what farm is is really hard
1113s to vaguely out to the question that
1114s specifics yeah
1115s but yeah we're hoping to roll out the
1117s specific details soon okay TM yeah
1121s everybody there are a lot of people that
1123s are other holiday or sick this week so
1126s yeah we would love to get it to you soon
1129s but as I said there are a few things
1131s that are potentially might yeah they
1133s like that little bit we need to make
1135s sure it's all agreed make sure
1136s everyone's happy is rolling out because
1138s we don't want to roll out stuff and
1140s change it again
1141s because when we I you know when we put
1144s the initial proposed ideas to the
1146s players we're taking as gospel
1147s one horse course the whole point was to
1150s get play for you back true did thank you
1151s guys but we want to make sure we're
1154s rolling this out we're giving the
1156s changes yeah so there's no confusion
1158s there's no frustration we can just see
1160s what it is and players can look at it
1161s and plan and yeah but we can't have a
1164s because I think everybody was feeling
1166s that Clara farms was overly generous yes
1169s I think that there was a court to make
1172s it more balanced with everything else
1174s that was going on I think absolutely and
1175s I think as I say we when we launched the
1178s initial blog I think that there was
1179s probably more of a maybe not as much
1182s consideration to say I'm and perhaps we
1184s we could have done or ish I think the
1188s main thing we did we what we launched in
1190s a block was like the hardest of the
1191s hardest of the others because we wanted
1192s to go in hard
1194s so we could see where the problems were
1196s because we went in hard as I want yep
1199s this is great then you know what we've
1201s managed to reach that that sweet spot
1203s but more likely we were going to be
1204s pulling back some of those changes
1206s because it's it's much nicer to be able
1208s to say or it was gonna be this but well
1210s you know we'll we'll put it back and
1212s make it this instead so we've made a
1215s bunch of those changes yeah we've taken
1220s into account Ironman but I'll be honest
1221s we've not as before we've not planned
1223s around on no Ironman is a game mode
1226s where you deliberately limit yourself
1228s and therefore you are deliberately
1229s omitted so we're not making that the
1232s focus Ironman can do everything they can
1235s engage the farm completely they can
1236s complete the farm and they can do all
1239s the stuff related to it some of it might
1241s take longer but it's still available to
1243s them cool cool okay so I'm just getting
1246s one that's written onto the iPad right
1248s now waiting before I wait till yeah okay
1251s so you know question was what is the ETA
1253s on these planned on these changes again
1254s we've kind of addressed that and said
1256s yeah we we want to roll out the changes
1259s soon yeah because there's nothing worse
1263s than having a hanging overhead for
1264s everyone like yeah we'd like to get the
1266s changes done soon you know we've been
1267s the problem is player in farmers
1269s particular is you've got it it takes a
1271s while implementing changes because of
1272s course it's a long term piece of content
1275s and to properly test it and to properly
1276s get the right feel for it you know it
1278s takes a long make some tiny sense but
1281s we're hoping to roll out that the
1284s proposed changes I what they are soon
1287s ideally in the next like a cup of weeks
1289s and then we'll roll out the actual
1292s changes relatively soon to that cool
1294s okay let's move away from player owned
1297s farms
1297s let's talks about some more about some
1299s sort of general questions so bundle I
1302s say I think it's probably to Bandos to
1305s on Twitter I believe as asked where do
1308s we go from Anna crow near content wise
1309s will you be focusing on a quest or to
1311s continue with the birth or even I think
1313s that's something slightly different
1314s slash releasing a new boss there's a lot
1319s of that's quite obviously we can't give
1323s out specifics at this stage also you
1327s know we here
1328s kings of the reschedule we can't
1330s determine completely what thing is again
1332s to be we suggest and we manipulate but
1334s we don't necessarily outright state but
1336s we've got load of core content in the
1339s works message much of it will be
1342s revealed at Rouen fairs we did joke
1345s before the stream that there might be a
1346s few of that response coming up didn't
1348s weigh so but yeah I think it's a big
1351s landmass let's put it like that yeah
1354s it's going to be it's something that's
1356s definitely gonna be expanded on aronia
1359s obviously we're gonna be continuing the
1361s storyline but we've got loads of content
1364s around as well I suppose is a decent
1368s weapon I think it like not gauging
1369s everything is in one place it's kind of
1372s following on a feed yeah yeah cool okay
1376s are there any plans in the next few
1378s months to continue or finish so the old
1381s requests lines this is from the D anima
1382s RS I'm really enjoying the new story but
1384s there seems to be a bunch of unfinished
1385s plots hanging around that I think the
1386s law hounds would love to see some
1388s closure on and I've got two law hounds
1389s that probably three law hounds it's an
1399s interesting one the old unfinished droid
1402s lines partially because a good number of
1407s the match do people don't care that much
1408s like we've revolved the survey out
1410s several times we've asked players
1412s several times and there are unfinished
1414s storylines they're always score kind of
1415s you know one example elemental workshop
1420s yeah you very vocal as the cursor he's
1423s nobody else really was not gonna it'll
1425s workshop yes there are a number of us in
1427s the runners here would love to do some
1429s of those I'd love to finish up there at
1430s the straw act but we also kind of have
1432s to focus on what is you know right for
1434s the game and it's not necessarily the
1436s old story lines because of relatively
1438s nice number of players have done them as
1440s well so it's not to say they're
1442s completely abandoned but they've got
1444s nothing planned for them in the next few
1446s months that's a and again we have the
1448s survey as well which again if you feel
1450s really passionately about it we'd love
1452s to hear your thoughts in the survey
1454s that's coming out later this week yeah
1457s yes all I can say on that one
1460s how is the bank beater progressing any
1463s news of some sort will prevent it from
1465s coming next month that's a bit of a
1467s slightly negative slant on the question
1469s any news on the Bank rework any I don't
1472s have any more insights the players do on
1473s that one I'm afraid
1475s I can probably cause I know it's it's on
1477s course to release in September but
1480s obviously if we hit like a major buck we
1483s yeah yeah I think that again there'll be
1486s slightly more information in the month
1487s ahead I've seen month head scripts and I
1489s think we do address the bank load blank
1493s improvements project on it so you know
1496s screaming and nothing on fire so I'm
1498s generally assuming things are good yeah
1500s yeah first generally the way it goes in
1501s Texas yes okay and another kind of
1505s mobile question when can we from metal
1508s havoc on reddit when can we expect to
1510s see more slots open for mobile so
1513s unfortunately I've been asked to not say
1515s anything about mobile which is slightly
1516s odd but so yes there's there's a
1520s communication strategy in place various
1525s people are planning to do things in the
1528s future there's marketing doing nothing
1531s and so on so that there's a coordinated
1534s plan it's good their plan will be
1535s executed nothing's really affecting that
1537s plan we're hitting our deadlines and
1539s everything everything's going fine but
1540s unfortunately I'm going to use water
1542s specific that will be more soon TM
1547s that's what I can give you will it be
1550s possible to add more savable presets for
1552s max or complicates maybe again I didn't
1559s work on that unfortunately that the
1560s closest I got to was doing some
1562s preliminary design on comp KP before I
1565s moved teams to mobile so I'm not all
1568s that familiar with how they implemented
1569s the cosmetic overrides for them but in
1572s theory I mean what that question is very
1575s severe you added will it be possible all
1578s you do yeah are we doing there's no
1580s current plans to there's no current
1581s plans necessary the immediate near
1583s future but if it's a new people really
1585s want then let us know and webson will
1587s you know look out I know that I know
1590s with the the company
1592s okay projects I think we were going to
1595s leave it for a little bit before doing
1596s anything to them and then we were
1598s perhaps going to pick it up again in in
1601s the future if we felt like we needed to
1603s that's that's my understanding anyway so
1606s okay this is from Oh God
1610s Lutz Terry water I'm ready apologies if
1614s I get any of your names wrong it's quite
1616s difficult to understand what some of
1619s these are anymore okay this is again
1621s kind of a related question but any more
1624s news on adding comp or trim requirements
1626s mainly from old content the perhaps
1628s didn't get it previously I don't have
1631s any news on that I it's nothing that my
1633s team's working on no red line it's not
1637s to say it won't happen like it's where
1639s we're definitely looking at adding more
1643s more things to to comp interim as goes
1646s along particular based on player
1647s feedback so my general advice would be
1649s let us know you know forums reddit
1653s twitter discord let us know we'll look
1658s at it yeah there's certainly a fair few
1659s there that I would begin love to
1661s implement myself feel like when I was
1663s doing my I might be reputation for
1664s example it was would have been very
1665s handy to have that there on there for
1667s additional tracking and they might have
1670s work involved as fairly low but it's a
1673s matter of people being assigned to work
1675s on those sorts of things and we don't
1677s control what projects we work on
1678s unfortunately so it's not to someone
1680s else to prioritize that yeah it's worth
1683s being aware that there is a was-- we are
1686s a relatively sizable and there are only
1687s limited amount of Deb's and limited mud
1690s QA which is there for unlimited amount
1692s of things that we can work on so
1695s everything suggested we will look at but
1698s we've got a prioritized where things set
1699s in all of that and we'll work on
1702s specific things as well like I'm part of
1703s the episodic team so I work on like game
1708s content not necessarily Civ ninja fixes
1710s or anything like that so yeah these
1712s things are all considered and the more
1714s people want them they will if you let us
1715s know the more likely it is to be pushed
1717s and priority but yeah we can't just do
1721s everything unfortunately yeah I'd love
1723s to be able to show
1725s the players are kind of backlog of
1727s things that we go
1729s for obvious reasons that's not going to
1732s be something that we're able to to do at
1734s least in the short term but I know that
1736s I've been speaking actually to a couple
1737s of members of the runescape team and we
1740s do want to be more kind of transparent
1741s with what's on what's on the backlog and
1744s how we can perhaps be a little bit more
1746s forthcoming with with the way that we
1748s approach those kinds of things because
1749s as I say we do Q&A every week there are
1752s questions that come up every week
1753s they'll be really handy to be able to
1754s say hey look there's a page on our
1756s website that will tell you all the
1757s latest information on that particular
1758s change and that would be yeah a lot a
1761s lot better way of doing it so we are
1763s aware that that could be something that
1764s we are we would like to do more moving
1766s forward and birthdates working progress
1768s at the moment and just clicked something
1772s which is not good
1774s are there plans to add the first Alice's
1777s this is from g hf h h HH f g9 I love how
1782s it needs to put nine at the end of that
1784s or she there are there plans to add the
1787s first two bosses from elite dungeons as
1789s boss pets as well so they would really
1790s like to have a stolen as a pet would we
1794s like to yes
1796s are we necessary going to you know again
1800s this comes down to the resources and how
1802s we can spend them we have very limited
1805s matters of art resources the moment they
1807s are all locked into some very very cool
1809s things so pets whilst also more also
1812s quite expensive and time-consuming it's
1814s like do we want to do a single pet or
1816s all of this stuff and so that's kind of
1819s the choice that's being made which is
1820s like that's cool but all of this stuff I
1822s think is the right thing yeah cool okay
1825s a question from turbulent bonus I think
1832s good names this week any chance of
1835s reducing or removing the combat
1837s requirement for Slayer masters like we
1839s did for smoking kills any chance
1846s technically yeah something more likely
1849s to do next not priority at this point in
1852s that very much no okay any update on
1856s when tier the this Captain Kirk
1858s any updates can solid names guys well
1861s done this week any update on we're in
1864s the elite t20 Knights - armors degrade
1866s costs are getting reduced
1869s Dingaan oh we do Orion worked on this
1872s yeah I know I know work has been done
1878s yeah
1879s despite sitting right next to Ryan I
1882s don't know a huge amount about when or
1885s what has been done it been looked at as
1891s let's see if we can find an answer for
1893s that fall after the stream
1896s I see we can find that and we'll put it
1897s on the TLDR on on reddit we can find the
1900s response so I'll send out to Orion to
1904s respond back to you when when we've got
1905s the tier thank you in advance from 5x
1915s what happens the Dagon off King boss pet
1918s graphical update it was polled eight
1920s months ago and we never heard about the
1922s results
1922s ah that's not one anything about Jenny I
1926s don't know if I think about that either
1927s I'm afraid I think it's another one of
1928s those ones we're awaiting the
1930s appropriate assets yeah I think yeah and
1933s the hottest time available to do it yeah
1937s the people have the answer that
1939s unfortunately dying a plague so sorry
1942s you can't just take the actual bottom
1944s office Reno you know you can't it's and
1948s if you feel like you should but it
1951s doesn't work like that because of course
1952s they animate weirdly and it looks
1954s nightmarish as they walk along huh as
1956s someone who's just been testing this on
1958s something it doesn't look good okay this
1961s is from Twitter from Simon Silver's on
1963s Twitter we can see that free-to-play has
1967s expanded don't know if it's plans to be
1969s expanded do you think it will expand
1971s more that might be a question for you
1973s soon yeah I mean I've worked on some
1975s free-to-play expansions in the past
1976s making the play Roadhouse available to
1978s free to play making fling free-to-play
1980s and they spend any more the player world
1983s so again at the time I was allowed some
1986s project time to work on that and I did
1988s that
1989s until some above me says yes we want you
1992s to do this here's some time out here to
1994s do it I get and do it unfortunately I
1996s don't know of anything of that nature
1997s currently it's being blended yeah I mean
1999s I mean bear in mind with kind of mobile
2001s looming as well it seems like it should
2003s be something that should come
2004s hand-in-hand with that so I would say
2006s perhaps if we're looking to do those
2007s kinds of expansions then it would
2009s probably likely come with a big mobile
2011s update that seems to make sense to me to
2013s make sense to you it makes sense yeah
2015s Bridgette plays always something that
2017s we're looking at and discussing it's not
2019s anything that's just sort of ignored and
2020s forgotten about yeah there are some
2023s interesting technical discussions that
2025s going on obviously can't talk about but
2028s it's definitely something that is being
2029s constantly considering things with it ok
2038s there was a question I've seen a
2040s question already about us being able to
2045s give players the information that they
2047s need through say the website and the
2050s forums rather than just through live
2052s streams and through Twitter and those
2054s different platforms and I wanted to
2056s address that one because I think it's a
2059s it's difficult with the sigils update
2062s that's probably something that perhaps
2064s could have been highlighted a little bit
2065s more prior to launch however I do think
2069s that there is we have these live streams
2070s for a reason and that's to let you guys
2072s know what's going on in a way that's
2074s slightly different to say our throwing
2076s our dev blog or us putting it down in a
2079s table on a news post and what I would
2082s encourage people to do is if they have
2085s the time and the scope available to
2086s obviously there's some great TLD w's as
2088s well or TLD ours that are produced by a
2091s lot of the the guys on on reddit for
2093s instance we have a lot of different
2095s communications platforms and sometimes
2096s it can be difficult to put the same
2097s message on each of them all the time
2099s I do agree that we could perhaps use our
2102s official channels more and I've said
2103s this to my team ins and that we can use
2107s the the website and the forums as kind
2110s of a launchpad to be able to then share
2111s it elsewhere so we will be doing that a
2113s little bit more but I will say that
2115s these live streams are a really good
2118s source of being able to get information
2119s that perhaps is very difficult to
2121s disseminate elsewhere
2122s we have the the vo DS on on YouTube as
2125s well so if anybody is needing a little
2127s bit more information let us know how we
2128s can make those more digestible for you
2130s as well as I say the TLD abused or TLD
2133s ours do a really good job of dissecting
2135s all the different bits and pieces but if
2137s there is anything that comes out there
2138s is a particular bugbear for how you
2141s receive those communications then let me
2144s know Jagex JD on twitter and i'll try
2146s and help moving forward and we've had
2152s this question kind of in a different
2153s face before but from the chat is virag
2155s request coming soon again it's not
2160s anything we've immediately got planned
2161s it's been I think written fully designed
2166s yes I believe models won't put together
2168s a design document for it yeah that's one
2170s of the ones that people's blocked
2171s waiting in the backlog for production
2173s edit in the future when resources
2174s available I was born Ryan maybe Raman
2178s they've worked on so it's it's something
2180s that's got like the design headspace for
2183s and some writing for it but it's not
2185s something we've immediately allocated
2187s the the resource to because that was a
2189s game jam project wasn't it I think
2192s wasn't it sort of yeah difference guys I
2194s think it was a personal project that
2196s someone did outside of work hours and
2198s then did more of it in the game yeah
2201s yeah but it's not than we've immediately
2204s got plans to launch like by the end of
2207s this year or anything again survey guys
2209s so like yeah certainly so right tell us
2210s if you want yes probably want it vote
2212s for it in the survey yeah okay a lot of
2214s questions about you quest soon question
2216s Molyneux question soon I'm gonna say to
2217s that room first yeah gentlemen vest yeah
2221s watch we're in first
2222s yeah me first okay and then from reddit
2228s sea shanty 2 is the annual survey coming
2230s soon the plan is Friday and we let you
2233s know if there are any changes to that it
2235s might be that we link it intrinsically
2237s to the month ahead and as we mentioned
2238s there might be a couple of hiccups
2239s without people being ill so we will
2242s endeavour to let you know as much as as
2243s soon as possible if that is going to be
2244s next week for instance rather than this
2246s week question about tap which is
2251s interesting so nearly deadly wood will
2254s tap be coming back when mobile is
2255s bracket
2256s nearly finished it's a bit of a weird
2261s one it's not something that any of us
2263s here can directly answer certainly
2267s there's scoping revisers for people to
2271s be able to do stuff in their free time
2272s but again the thing with tap is tap
2275s allocated certain resources amount of
2277s time and I know there are plans those
2280s definitely I've seen all manner of
2283s presentations and documents and things
2285s so it's definitely a thing that is being
2287s looked at but I don't necessarily know
2289s if it's going to be under the same
2291s umbrella or the same name there's some
2292s there's some very nice I mean from from
2294s our points of view of her people get to
2296s work on these person for anything isn't
2297s very nice things looking like they're
2299s planned out for I don't know anything
2300s will happen but it's yeah we're aware
2304s that one of the strengths we have a
2306s Jagex is the creativity of our staff and
2309s the people working here and so we're
2311s definitely looking to be able to tap
2312s that in in different ways that's he's
2315s the pun yeah now I know that there's
2317s been there's been a few kind of
2318s workshops internally as well but we've
2320s looked to be doing about how we can
2321s better use tap so watch this space I
2324s think is the answer to that question
2326s just as a I just think if I've managed
2329s to miss any questions from the stuff
2332s that we've seen so far I don't think
2338s there is what I didn't want to do there
2339s was something that I wanted to show if
2341s you have any questions please chuck them
2342s in the chat and then we will Martinique
2345s use and watching we'll chuck them into
2347s onto this screen here what I did want to
2349s do whilst we perhaps wait for some more
2351s questions is to showcase a little bit
2353s player art because we don't normally do
2355s that kind of thing and I want to be able
2357s to shout out some of the people who have
2359s done some amazing stuff ins we recently
2362s ran our play gallery for at the lambda
2364s of time and I wanted to show the people
2367s who had done exceptionally well and been
2370s I think we've got the first place and
2371s the runners-up here that we can show now
2374s if mod John is ready there we go so this
2378s is maverick 882 and again please feel
2382s free to guys on the soccer fields feel
2385s free to react with oohs and ahhs that is
2388s very pretty
2388s very detailed
2390s I like that little detail of the
2391s pterosaur in the background then we have
2398s that's a very good one I like that one
2402s we have our guy
2405s well idea everyone looks very happy
2408s though this this was the winner this was
2415s made Nixie who is nominated for golden
2417s dome as well for one of her sculptures
2420s that she's done the terrified tiger
2422s might in the bomb write another I think
2425s that looks stunning personally beautiful
2427s that's really good yeah well done major
2429s Nixon you you want it and and we'd like
2432s to do more these kinds of player
2434s galleries we like to focus them around
2435s kind of big content updates but if you
2438s have suggestions for themes for play
2440s galleries that we can do I'd love to
2442s hear them because we want to try and do
2444s as many of these possible we love to see
2445s seeing your art seeing your creativity
2447s so if you have any ideas for themes that
2449s we could do to make it more of a monthly
2452s thing rather than a perhaps slightly
2454s less frequent thing then then let me
2456s know again on Jagex JD at twitter it'd
2458s be great to see that what's your
2461s favorite dawn definitely the last one
2464s yeah stay sorry got to go the last one
2467s to that has really helpful it's just the
2469s terrified Tiger might I'm sorry yeah
2471s it's completely sold it for me seems
2472s like we've got a worthy winner there no
2476s oh there are more okay let's go for more
2478s then ah okay we have got all nice oh
2481s that is cool that is cool and annoyingly
2485s I bet the watermark is the bottom right
2487s hand corner there we go will away again
2491s I believe has been nominated for a
2493s golden home as well thigh is a beautiful
2495s style they've got going there mm-hmm I
2498s love that I think that's amazing
2501s we have in Cora who again is fantastic
2505s well how is it depends a lot of thought
2507s communities so much detail in all of
2509s that and we have again too much
2516s happiness for Ivan I think yeah yeah it
2519s was very it was a little bit Wizard of
2520s Oz esque
2521s it's it's thock doing the dad
2524s smashed his way through their log right
2526s I go yeah yeah he's away from the log I
2528s like that have you bet you glad you
2530s don't actually talking about
2531s this one so and then this is well I like
2540s that one
2540s I was allotted spelling of today as well
2542s yeah look at Bert today that's really
2547s good I like that and this is AP milk I
2551s love a bit of a PR I think that's great
2554s oh this is like my little right there
2557s excuse me this the place where I go
2559s right to the bottom right of the screen
2561s and and I can't read what that one is
2570s can you read that one out John yeah okay
2577s Barney Riven and then you can see the
2579s deviantART link on there if you like
2580s that out then go and check them out
2582s deviantART and that's it so I want to
2587s try to do a little bit more of those I
2589s wanted to showcase some of the amazing
2590s work the community do a little bit more
2591s I'll be instructing Shawnee that we need
2593s to do this kind of thing more often
2594s because I very much enjoy it so I don't
2596s know if anybody remembers a good morning
2598s Gillen all that we did a while back yeah
2600s yeah that was I mean I love doing it but
2603s it was so stressful strike yeah that was
2608s about two three years ago now and what
2609s John myself sitting on the sofas was
2612s there okay yeah I'd love to do it again
2616s I just finding the time to do it would
2617s be would be it would be great but I'd
2619s love to get little bit more community
2620s stuff in this as well because I think
2622s there's a say showcasing what you guys
2624s are up to is is really important and
2625s being able to champion everybody who's
2627s doing some really good stuff it's great
2629s okay a couple more questions that been
2632s added since are there this is a a a.k.a
2637s Bob so a a a KA Bob I think Bob for sure
2641s let's call it Bob any plans to make
2643s minigames instanced not from my lot I
2649s think it so it's been considered but
2651s he's in massively high priority I mean
2654s mini-games
2656s just don't let just resonate that well
2658s with the playerbase like we can instance
2659s and get more people together but even
2661s then it's it's not the best use of all
2663s resources and time as far as we can tell
2665s there are more there are other parts of
2667s the game that players are more
2668s interested in okay so we're not going to
2670s abandon it but it's not any immediate
2671s plan they'll be helpful to get a
2673s targeted response there which particular
2674s minigames are the one thing to give are
2676s those ones that we can focus on those
2678s can again get the benefit you're looking
2679s for as broadly there's so many minigames
2681s each one has both so yeah yeah if you
2684s could let us know that would be great
2685s what's the reason part is it is because
2686s you I want them to all go go to one shot
2690s all players run on the same server like
2693s how bitching chopper works or is because
2695s you want to just play this minigame on
2697s your own what's the reason behind why
2698s you wanted instance it's also worth
2699s asking like why you want that sort of
2701s thing is it is it because you really
2703s enjoy the game like specifically that or
2705s is it because you want to grind away and
2707s get the reward like it's worth knowing
2709s that because we might be able to address
2711s one without addressing the other if it's
2714s if it's just the reward for example then
2716s we might be able to look at things to do
2717s with alternative ways of acquiring that
2719s but if it's you genuinely know if the
2720s gameplay and want to see more people in
2721s it then that's something that we can
2723s look at see if we can maybe build on
2725s that and get more people looking nearby
2727s the method so on if you could instance
2729s any minigame which would it be
2731s Castle boss okay shaving makes most
2735s sense
2738s [Music]
2739s think of any that up still play there
2742s aren't really instance in some way
2744s occurs I generally avoid the ones that
2745s involve other players no struggling yeah
2752s again I'm I need some clarity as to what
2755s people are needing it to be instance for
2757s so because you want to have lots of
2758s players in the same waters because
2759s you're wanting an a solo experience I
2761s mean off the top of my head
2763s fish fingers would work as well that was
2765s way very well on a shot because that
2766s that needs a certain mass population in
2769s order to function because people play
2770s the game in order to share their bits
2773s and so forth and not really a viable
2776s getting otherwise so it I think it's a
2778s case if we either shot at all we remove
2780s it okay cool
2782s and then from epidemic 1992 in the chat
2785s will there be more action bars added it
2788s may be one or two active ones we can
2789s have open with the new situation jizz
2791s maybe I don't exactly what immediately
2795s plun-darr no I'm sorry no it's not
2799s completely off the table it's just yeah
2801s maybe yeah okay alright well I think
2807s that's all of the questions I have I
2808s know that there's a video as well that
2810s we want to show just at the end which is
2812s a Rufus video so this your last chance
2815s to get questions in on the chat in the
2818s meantime there's someone asking about
2821s weapon diversity there will be more
2823s information about what the diversity
2825s soon yeah yep thank you for everybody
2828s who's been playing in the beta and thank
2830s you for everybody who has been giving us
2832s all the feedback as well we want to give
2834s you a little bit more information soon
2837s and chunks of plum have we put the
2842s calendar on the table to combat fishing
2844s streams a little bit yeah I mean it's
2846s not just another day but yeah it is one
2849s of the things that we are doing to try
2850s and combat to which fishing streams and
2852s we'd love to be able to get like a
2854s moving one as well so you couldn't just
2856s Photoshop it out but we think that will
2859s probably be a little bit too distracting
2861s but we have got an internal thing that
2864s we are doing at the moment to try and
2865s limit the amount of fishing streams that
2867s are appearing hopefully you've seen a
2868s positive change over the last couple of
2870s months or so
2872s again please report them if you see them
2874s spread the words that they're there
2877s around that they are a possibility again
2879s I think probably the the the issue that
2881s we have is that players who are perhaps
2882s coming back to runescape probably aren't
2884s as quite as ok with everything that's
2886s going on and as ingrained in the
2888s community as everybody else come back
2891s and that's might be one of the first
2892s things they say which obviously isn't
2893s that great thing anyway so we're trying
2894s to do some stuff internally which also
2896s need to be able to help us out as well a
2898s little bit and we are speaking to them
2900s about what we can do but yeah that's
2902s kind of where we are with that see if
2906s that's picking anything else off from
2907s the chat any plans for new metallic
2911s dragons survey survey yes yeah yes
2915s there's something there about when
2917s combat pet modifiers or stats my beliefs
2922s I think that was something that Timbo
2924s was looking at vaguely by have no idea
2927s when it would be we'll try and gather
2929s some of these questions for perhaps a
2930s future week yeah when we have either a
2933s Timbo or modest born or someone who is
2939s probably a little bit more I fight with
2941s those kinds of updates obviously we have
2944s a very big team runescape so it's quite
2946s difficult to get somebody on who's gonna
2947s cover every single question that gets
2948s asked so iOS roots get mobile again more
2953s information will be in in the next few
2956s weeks I think okay I think that's pretty
2960s much everything from the chat hopefully
2962s we've been able to answer as many
2963s questions as we have as we've been able
2967s to get I'd like to thank everybody for
2970s joining me today thank you guys for
2972s watching at home how was your first
2975s experience not done I'm still a bit
2977s nervous but yeah I think you did a good
2980s job I think I think you're a natural
2982s you've done a few you've done a few bits
2983s for the German community before I did a
2985s facebook livestream in February yeah so
2988s you know you know I complete it's fine
2991s you did a good job and yeah if just a
2994s quick reminder of some of the things we
2996s talked about at the start surveys coming

3008s twitch but I'm still live so keep an eye
3011s out on sorry click the the crown on the
3014s top of your window if you haven't
3015s already I think it's probably uh nope
3016s wrong arm that way mmm it's not sorry
3020s it's on a mirror so going with the wrong
3021s hand you can get two hundred moon coins
3023s 15 keys and 40 hearts of ice just for
3027s being a switch Prime member and when you
3029s get that switch mark a prime free sub
3030s then please use it for one of our
3033s amazing runescape live streamers I think
3037s that's pretty much it we've got a video
3038s to finish on so I believe this is on the
3040s runescape youtube channel but this is
3043s what kind of thing you can expect from
3045s runefest so thanks very much everyone
3048s or for watching thanks everyone on the

3068s Hello Sailor how you don't that's not
3070s doing great
3071s how do lands out what time please go out
3073s there team absolutely now head to mayhem
3074s and some of Young's how's that going
3076s dude some of the elves coming along
3077s great team's doing a great job nearly
3079s out gonna be the biggest update yet
3082s morning Shaunie morning I think
3085s somebody's been up playing runescape all
3086s night I've been up all night planning
3089s for the room fest meeting this morning
3094s I'll see you guys in math
3101s [Music]
3102s I'm on my hook thank God sits you right
3105s got plants burning fast they're all good
3107s but kinda want to hear yours oh well
3109s I've actually prepared a little
3110s something a mark so I was thinking that
3113s maybe we could recreate the land out of
3115s time awesome you complete with giant
3118s dinosaurs and plants that try to eat you
3120s when you get too close to them that kind
3121s of thing I get you I'm gonna have these
3124s dramatic areas of the island that
3125s players can explore in like bigger
3127s gaming areas you know the players can
3129s get hands on all of our content puppets
3131s and then I'm not gonna lie I kind of
3133s missed the skill type activities so if
3135s we can get those back in that would be
3136s amazing and then I was thinking maybe
3139s some more panels some more talks more J
3141s mod meetups and we should definitely
3143s definitely announce something really big
3145s on stage like well you know what I'm
3147s talking about
3149s and then what about bigger areas so that
3153s players can meet the creative teams as
3154s well yeah okay okay oh and then I was
3158s thinking right it's the best idea we
3159s should have an area for players to get
3161s hands on with the latest build a bridge
3163s game over mm-hmm yeah and and an Oscars
3166s style award ceremony the evening before
3169s for golden oh yeah we should have golf
3173s okay
3174s noble names wait wait wait don't
3180s maude Mohawk pup a day how you darling
3183s you're ready for this meeting absolutely
3185s any ideas of course I do invest the
3187s highlights of year I wouldn't just make
3188s it up as I go along
3189s to a magic o Shawnee Shawnee which room
3195s is the room fest meeting in sorry guys
