Runescape Dev Tracker

Now that Necromancy has settled in, there are two key areas of focus to tackle next based on your feedback - the high-skill balancing of all styles and the desire to see some of Necromancy's combat systems added to the other styles.

We know these topics are really important to many of you, so we've been putting the pieces into place to enable a committed development effort in the months ahead. This all kicks off with some initial rebalancing on Monday, followed by the launch of the Combat Beta on October 30th to bring some of Necromancy's systems to the existing styles.

Most importantly, a Combat Beta gives us a great opportunity to work directly with PvMers on getting this right!

Should be solved on Monday

He's just vibing, leave him be!

hello, 2-3 is indeed the intent - i've had a look in the script and there's a bug going on there (it's rolling a 2 + random(1), but the random is non inclusive, so it's always giving 2 + 0)

thanks for bringing this up, have raised this to get logged as a bug

Phew, a second post about me in a day, you guys are going to make me big-headed! I'm very lucky to have a wonderful Community team around me who help make stressful days a lot easier, and a team who are so receptive and open to feedback. I know that we've had a very intense few months but the team have been great and we're taking so many learnings forwards for how we approach things.

I'm always doing my best to represent the players and your feedback at every stage and sometimes it works great, and sometimes it doesn't work as great, but I can't be discouraged because then we're all worse off for it. Runescape is amazing, and I love the feeling of community everywhere it lives, here, Discord, in-game, wherever. It's upsetting if it ever comes across as insincere, or facetious, because it's anything but. I'm the same as any other member of the Runescape team, I put my whole heart into this job and care deeply about it. My sleep pattern wishes I didn't care as much as I do, ...

This is a very lovely post to read, after a very intense few weeks... months? How long have I been here? What year is it?! But I'm extremely grateful for the kind, considerate, open-minded and constructive responses I get from the community here, and everywhere else too! I love being able to approach every conversation knowing that I have a lot to learn, and feel like I come away from (almost all) conversations better for having them.

I'm not going to take the credit for this, though - u/JagexAzanna and u/JagexHooli are excellent CMs and their experience and wisdom are invaluable. The whole rest of the ...

Alongside all the new rewards being available via gameplay and irons being able to purchase the rewards via the GE we wanted to give them something related to the event instead of the Candy Enhancers and H'oddments felt like the right fit.

There's a joke I could make here, but I'll stay professional and simply say "ouch."

I called the sit and assess here!

The hotfix that's just gone out means you'll be getting 25 H'oddments for every pumpkin you smash, and 1,000 H'oddments the first time you next log in - should speed things up for you!

2pm's the end of the working day?! Wahoo, off I go!

It has now! https://rs.game/hotfix-181023

Thanks for pinging me on this, I'm gonna pop this over to the team for visibility. Have a great one!

After looking at the data and your feedback, we're going to be buffing the amount of H'oddments players receive from smashing pumpkins today.
Every pumpkin smashed will now provide 25 H'oddments, alongside any other rewards stashed within.

Heyo! Team is aware of this one and its working it way through the system hoping to see it resolved soon.

Posted this in the replies below but reposting it as a separate comment for visibility just in case:

Hello! We've spoken as a team about this today and we have some ideas on how to address the feedback we've received.

Right now the team are doing some calculations - we're going to take a look at the data overnight (in before anyone posts "sit and assess"!) and we're hoping to update players tomorrow with the full details of our direction.

I appreciate everyone's patience with this, and I'm hoping we can share the details tomorrow once we've got everything figured out.

That's very kind of you to say - Making my day even brighter! Thanks for the high-five, have a great one!

Hi Five (haha, like High-Five! Like... you get it.)
I dropped a comment in this thread a few minutes ago here, hope that provides a bit of an update:
