Why is there a section at the beginning in there twice and why are the image sizes all over the place?

Images get broken cause some of the CSS wasn't loading right, implemented a work around it there.

The section is repeated as I wanted to include it in the patch notes as naturally its where it should go but we wanted to highlight those changes in its own section.

Releasing the old combat jingles along with this update would be perfect. The current boring jingle was instated shortly before the (at that time) horrible Evolution of Combat.

Returning the old jingles on Monday's update would signify that that the old combat skills have been improved and modernized.

Hope you read this u/Jagex_Stu

Good idea, but not going to happen. When and if gamejam projects are released is outside my control.

Happily we did recently get confirmation that several of the smaller updates developed and completed in prior gamejams are currently scheduled to release in a ninja strike in May, and that currently includes combat skill levelup jingles. Plans change, so no guarantee, but that's the current ETA.

I can understand wariness to include additional projects in Monday's release, as the combat beta was a massive amount to get through release candidate testing in one week. I've got a few fixes from the quest requirement cleanup developed during Feb gamejam week that are waiting in the release queue but couldn't be accepted this week as they're relatively minor. All in good time, and we have to be patient.

Thank you for the response, I'm very much looking forward to Monday's update, and hopefully we'll get to see the fruit of several game jam projects in May :-)

I'm looking forward to both too! :) Happy 'Scaping.

Stu stu stu, do you know if movement not being affected by surge/escape/dive is on that list? It was a gamejam shown off last year you could click a spot, start moving, surge, and at the end of the surge the character continued to move towards their destination rather than having to re-click it.

That sounds like something Mod Giragast (engine developer) started in a 2023 gamejam and was working on further during the Q4 community hitlists.

Looks like his engine work that it was dependent on has released but the content side of it is unstarted. Everyone who was assigned to work on community hitlists throughout Q4, including me, were assigned back to developing Q1/Q2 episodic projects at the start of 2024.

That specific issue (a task he created named "add variant of Surge that doesn't break pathing" looks to be what you're describing) seems to have been reassigned to the combat modernisation team in late January, so perhaps that's something they might explore after the release of the combat beta frees up Ryan and Sponge to work on other things.

(I can't confirm whether or not that's an imminent priority - that's just going off what I can see in our ticketing system, that the task is now listed under the combat modernisation team's backlog.)

Hi stu, sorry for the off-topic reply but I haven't been happy scaping for the past year. I've been trying to get my account "KravenMorhed" returned to me I was falsely issued a macro major ban on my 7 year old acc. It's barely even above 2k total. My post history on reddit logs my attempts at reaching out to jmods consistently for almost a year. I've dm people too but I can't get any help or a reply.

I played runescape as a kid but now I'm a dad and a husband I don't have the same time I used to have there's no way I could re get to where I once was, ironically if I did cheat however I could get back there or further if one were to believe all the bot screenshots on this subreddit. I tried to make an alt during leagues and it's cringe to say but I would feel my heart skip a beat when it took longer than usual to sign in or I typo my password lol. I'm worried it'll happen again and so I haven't played aside from leagues. I love the game, but I can't go again on a new account. That would be disrespectful to myself to take this on the chin for something I didn't do. And I would never get my account back to where it once was

As you've contacted many JMods in the past year, this probably isn't news to you, but content developers are not allowed and do not have access to the tools to deal with account issues or bans, which are handled by the player support team. I have no experience, authority or qualifications in the area of banned accounts.

I can only point you towards the player support page for assistance, which includes an area to appeal your ban. https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002238729-Appeal-an-offence

Could you please forward my need for help though? You're the first guy to reply to me I really appreciate you taking your time. My post history lays open bare

No, we (developers) are not allowed to intervene on your behalf. You will have to personally liaise with Player Support about your account.

Been tempted to get runefest tickets and try in-person because this is getting a bit silly it's been a year almost

I don't think they provide a direct method to contact individuals on their team - if you want to appeal your ban, I suggest using the appeal an offence link above, and then the next available member of the player support team will process it.
