THANK GOD the fairly predictable cadence of DXP, Yak Track and
money grabtime-limited events will continue. I'm urgently in need of something to spend all these bonds on.There's still a third of this year left and Warden is already trying to sell us 2021 with a 20th anniversary - and the supposed updates that it'll bring.
The content we talked about in the stream is all planned for the rest of the year:
- September update(s) - which we'll talk about in the next couple of weeks
- Orthen Digsite (October)
- Construction Update
- New Boss
- New Quest (not on the scale of Desperate Measures, but not insignificant either)
- Many Ninja Strikes
(as well as Yak Track/DXP)
I remember GWD3 being teased as well and also saying it was in the works, now its delayed to 2021 lol.
We've had to adapt to new circumstances, unfortunately, and if we'd carried on focusing a significant amount of dev time on an XL project like EGWD, it's likely a lot of the content listed above (a mix of Small, Medium and Large content) wouldn't have happened. We hope this is a suitable compromise.
Forgive me for being skeptical but that's more updates than we've had in the last eight months and I'm having a hard time believing we'll get all of this within the next 4 - especially given previous delays and what appears to be constantly restructured teams.
That's fine to be skeptical - I can understand that. What we have done though is freed up a lot of dev time from XL projects (not forgetting Archaeology and it's post-launch support took us into early May) to work on these slightly smaller projects, giving us more flexibility.
Obviously the proof is in the pudding, but the initial signs look good.
Just to confirm, this new Boss is a new announcement unrelated to gwd3, or just gwd3 itself?
This is unrelated.
Is there any details you can give on the boss atm? Low/mid/high level? Solo/group?
I believe/u/jagexosborne mentioned something on a similar difficulty level to Araxxor. I don't want to quote him on that, though.

Yeah, I made a mistake there and lowballed it. Talking to the team, it’s more on a par with Telos
Careful. Don't make promises you can't keep. That's a lot of updates and less than half the year remaining. Runefest 2020 is gonna be half made up of updates missed from Runefest 2019.
Regardless, this stream confirmed for me that you guys have lost my membership. I'm done with RS3. This stream was the straw that broke my back.
None of this is targeted at you JD; just disappointed in the company as a whole.
No offence taken - just curious more than anything else: what in particular was it in the stream that made you want to not renew your membership?
I believe 100%. We are investigating ways of scaling down and/or up, but we haven’t got anything to announce around that
