| 0s | It's time to celebrate ten years of Ironman together as one. |
|---|---|
| 4s | That's rights, |
| 5s | Group Ironman is on its way to Runescape. |
| 11s | Hi, I'm Mod Biscotto |
| 13s | I'm Mod Camel, |
| 14s | I'm Mod Timbo. |
| 15s | I'm Mod Sukotto, I'm days. |
| 16s | I'm Mod Daze. |
| 17s | and I'm Mod Helen. |
| 20s | ...and we're here together to talk about group Ironman. |
| 24s | Group Ironman is a new game mode |
| 26s | where you can team up with a team of 2 to 5 Ironman friends |
| 31s | and rediscover the magic of Runescape from the very beginning. |
| 35s | Together you’ll forge your own path through Gielinor, mastering skills, |
| 39s | collecting equipment and tackling the game's toughest challenges as a team. |
| 43s | You're still Ironmen, |
| 45s | so you can only use shared resources gathered or created by your group. |
| 49s | There's no trading with people outside your group, |
| 52s | so you'll need to really work together to succeed. |
| 54s | Group Ironman will let you replay iconic moments |
| 57s | from RuneScape history with your best friends at your side. |
| 62s | There are two different types of Ironman groups to try: |
| 65s | Regular and Competitive. |
| 67s | Regular mode is the normal group Ironman experience. |
| 70s | The Iron Man rules you're familiar with in a group setting. |
| 73s | After forming a group you'll be able to fight bosses together, |
| 76s | trade items to each other and complete Journey Achievements as a team. |
| 81s | You'll be able to team up with non-group Ironmen for certain activities. |
| 84s | But in general, the normal Ironman rules and restrictions apply. |
| 89s | Most importantly, regular mode will let solo Ironmen become Group Ironmen. |
| 94s | Although this is an irreversible process and it won't work the other way around. |
| 98s | Competitive mode is a much tougher challenge. |
| 101s | founded on the principle that Group Ironmen should never get help from players outside their group. |
| 106s | You can only take in content that you can play with your group members, |
| 109s | which means that every accomplishment will have to be earned through solid teamwork. |
| 114s | Loot rules in competitive group Ironman are restricted |
| 117s | so that group members must do a 100% of a kill to earn any drops. |
| 121s | although instanced bosses will be available free of charge to help you out. |
| 125s | Competitive group Iron Man is also only accessible |
| 128s | for new accounts, so you can't use an existing Ironman character. |
| 132s | Likewise, if you leave a group, |
| 134s | the team can only replenish their members by inviting fresh accounts. |
| 137s | It's a commitment. |
| 139s | If you do leave a competitive group, you can only form a new group |
| 142s | with fresh accounts. |
| 144s | Alternatively, you can join regular Ironman mode |
| 147s | or become a main account without any Ironman restrictions. |
| 150s | Since downgrading from competitive Ironman is a big deal, |
| 153s | we've made it basically impossible to do by accident. |
| 157s | You'll receive plenty of warning if you're about to do something |
| 160s | that would compromise the integrity of your account |
| 162s | and in some cases you won't be able to try it at all. |
| 165s | Both competitive and regular modes will have their own separate HiScores |
| 169s | so you can fight for the legendary front page slot no matter how you choose to play. |
| 175s | We've planned loads of new |
| 176s | features for group Ironman, and we can't wait to see you try them out. |
| 180s | Journey Achievements will give groups fun goals to work towards. |
| 184s | They work much like qualifications from archeology, providing |
| 188s | a wide variety of challenges that span everything RuneScape has to offer. |
| 192s | and they’ll require the whole group to come together as one to complete them. |
| 196s | Group storage is just what it sounds like. |
| 198s | A special bank just for your group. |
| 201s | You'll be able to store items in the group's storage |
| 203s | and have all the players from your group withdraw them, even if you’re offline. |
| 207s | Group storage has another cool feature, |
| 209s | We're sure you'll be very excited to hear about. |
| 212s | Certain items |
| 213s | that are normally untradeable can be stored here for use by the group. |
| 216s | This includes augmented weapons and augmented armor. |
| 219s | Group Ironmen share almost everything. |
| 222s | Group storage will be accessible wherever there is an existing bank storage. |
| 227s | If you're gathering logs, you can easily get them to your group's fletching expert |
| 231s | without having to run halfway across. Gielinor. |
| 233s | Finally, there's the group management system, |
| 236s | which again does exactly what it says on the tin. |
| 238s | Ensuring the safety and security of your accounts |
| 241s | is top priority, and that extends to group Ironman. |
| 245s | We've all played multiplayer games where things just don't work out between groups. |
| 249s | Fallouts happen and we want to make sure that when they do, |
| 252s | you don't lose your hard work to any rash decisions. |
| 255s | All important decisions about the group, including removing members and downgrading |
| 260s | from competitive to regular mode, can only take place with a supermajority. |
| 265s | This means that everyone has to agree before a decision can be finalised. |
| 269s | Getting to experience the challenge of Ironman with a group of trusted friends |
| 272s | is a reward in itself. |
| 274s | There's also a few goodies along the way available exclusively for groups. |
| 278s | First on the list is the group Ironman Upgradable Armor. |
| 281s | As you progress through journey achievements together |
| 283s | you'll upgrade it all the way to Tier 4 |
| 286s | a fantastic way to represent the adventures you've been on together. |
| 290s | You'll also be able to unlock unique pose emotes |
| 293s | so you can take some cool screenshots to celebrate your biggest achievements. |
| 297s | Some fancy new titles are also on the cards, |
| 299s | so you can show everyone that you're together as one. |
| 303s | We designed Group Ironman in close collaboration with the Old School RuneScape team, |
| 306s | who launched their own Group Ironman Mode just a couple of years back. |
| 310s | We've learned from their biggest successes and added our own RuneScape twist |
| 313s | and we think you're really going to enjoy the result. |
| 316s | Of course, we also need to thank the community |
| 318s | for all your feedback and support. |
| 320s | Following the right click examine in early August. |
| 323s | Your thoughts are always really valuable for us and seeing your discussions |
| 326s | about this new mode has us really excited for launch day. |
| 329s | Speaking of discussions, don't forget to check out the official RuneScape Discord Server |
| 334s | It’s the perfect place to craft theories and talk about your Group Ironman strategy. |
| 338s | Who knows, maybe you'll meet some new friends to group up with. |
| 343s | We can't wait to see what you and your friends get up to as group Ironmen. |
| 348s | And we'll see you on the Iron Enclave on day one! |
