Hello there! I want to share another bit of feedback regarding the RuneScape mobile client, along some improvements I personally think would be worth discussing amongst the development team.

The changes I propose are rather minimal, but are very significant for the game; both aesthetically and functional.

On a previous feedback post, I pointed out how the ribbon icons are kinda difficult to see on certain areas of the game, along some other nitpicks at the moment that have been fixed (those fixes made me hopeful about sharing my feedback again, while trying my best to convey new ideas to improve the experience on the mobile client).

The following suggestions are meant to improve: the ribbon icons, some abilities prrotruding from the ability containers, the home menu, and at the end of the post, I report a bug that has been happening with my client along my phone specs.

The ribbon icons, abilities and internet connection/battery charge header

This is a quick mockup about the solution to these small problems. They're nitpicks, but i think they have the potential to make the game look more clean and polished.

The home menu

This is the current menu.

And this is my proposal.

Including the updated settings to change worlds, check runemetrics and report problems.

The purpose of this change is to make the home menu a one time stop to check some interfaces we are continuously opening (such as the invention materials, price checker and achievements). Also, if we have the lobby and logout icons at the center, we save a couple of taps, whilst also adding another layer of polish to the interface.

If my understanding is correct, all these icons are just "shortcuts" to the desired interface, so adding them to the home screen would be better to send us directly to the screen we're looking for without having to jump through the hoops of other interfaces (like the loadout to check the invention materials and price checker).

In my personal opinion, I think the screenshots in the menu consume a lot of space, they do look great, but I think having updated artwork (archaeology being the latest release along desperate measures) would make the game look better and more familar to the new players trying the game for the first time. For that reason I removed the second and third one and added these interface shortcuts that are useful and very straightforward (I want to check my materials so I just need to click on the materials button, simple).

Bug report

Now, for a slightly less jolly commentary.

Since the last update i noticed that my interface "shrinks" by default whenever I open the client, but as soon as I open the chat window... it magically puts everything back into place:

It looks like the keyboard pushes everything back into place... how peculiar.

I'm not particularly fond of sharing photos, because they look slightly less flattering than a screenshot, but this time it's necessary to fully report my issue:

The client as soon as i open it.

And how the keyboard pushes everything back into place.

As for my phone specs, I have a Motorola Moto G7 Plus (XT1965-2):

• Android 10
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 636
• 4GB of RAM
• Display 2270 x 1080

And that's a wrap. Thank you for making it to the end of the post. If you're reading from the "Old reddit" the links in blue contain the pictures of both my suggestion and bug report. If you're watching from your mobile phones or in the redesign, the pictures appear by themselves.

As with every feedback post, I do not hope all these changes to be implemented on the next update, my only purpose is to share my thoughts with the community and the Mobile Development team on this subreddit (as I do not participate in other social media, and I'm also constantly updating my Google Play feeback). With that being said thanks for reading and I hope you found this post entertaining, informative and rich enough to discuss.

Have a good day and see ya around!
