I'm very happy with this outcome. Instead of releasing a dozen pets nobody wants they scaled their plans back to still give us something new (runescore pet hype) but also incorporate the feedback at the same time. And the feedback was clear that we want summoning overrides on some of the notable existing pets. I'm sort of surprised how quickly they managed to change direction. Thank you for listening /u/jagexosborne.
I’m glad it’s more along the lines of what you are after!
I assume that majority of jmods don't browse the subreddit. I hope not at least lol there should just be a few dedicated to community concerns.
It’s the opposite! We probably look here a little too often, but we do our best not to take everything to heart. Threads like this make it worthwhile, though
Will fps drops be looked at with the pet updates? As some pets caused fps drops when they were released if you used them as your familiar override. Although im very excited for pet overrides, i dont want to see bugs come out with them.
That’s interesting. It’s the first I have personally heard of it, but the team likely will have. I’ll make a note of it for now or the update.
I'm sure you know this but it's important to remember, for the sanity of you and your team, that when the community gets outraged and upset with you it's from a sense of passion towards the game that you're all creating.
Of course. And a lot of the time the criticism is valid. Some of us are better at absorbing it than others (I’m rubbish at it), but we all know it’s not (always) personal and is (most of the time) from a place of care and passion
Will you be looking into adding item pets (chamaeleon, tooth creature, birds) to the interface? Would be lovely since otherwise they might languish for another long while. Thanks for the responses.
That a very good point, I neglected to mention making more pets into interface pets. Will note it as well
