Runescape Dev Tracker

It was a problem yesterday too, nothing I changed today would have effected aggression. I explained on a comment below:

Basically during that special, Nex has a long period where she isn't attacking anyone which effectively takes her out of combat, meaning she has lost focus of the original person she is targeting.

Will find a way, i'm sure /u/JagexPi can think of a funny way of keeping her in combat in a cheeky way :P

Interesting, will investigate. Thank you for giving her a go!

What did you think of the other changes?

Extra 500k split between all the phases so add 166k to each phase.

She phases based of the % of her max lifepoints.

Yeah I've got this saved, thank you. I know what it is, it's just workout how to get around it.

Stealth camo is op.

Moving forward we shall be doing this, but feel free to nag me if an area needs looking at.

We do :)

Yep - these are usually picked up in our more in-depth Real World Trading checks, especially for gold farming bots such as these.

You didn't say anything I wasn't already thinking so don't worry yourself. As a professional I should be able to read critical comments, break them down and learn from them. I don't blame you for any of your observations or conclusions you made, I'd probably have the same given then same information.

Hey, these have now been banned. Apologies for the grief they've caused you.

Hey,

Thought I'd retort here to what is some very useful and very fair feedback from Rubic here. These are also points I’ve wants to say for quite a while and I still to this day kick myself for but I live my life by a set of rules and one of these rules is that I can forgive myself for my mistakes provided that I learn from it and don't make it again. That said the points that you have raised specifically I do have more info that I'd like to share it has been a while and we have learned from what we did wrong with these updates.

Runespan

Initially the aims for the runespan update was to release a minigame which the players could do for some runecrafting xp to break up the grindy-ness of the skill. When I approached this I raised that this will not fix the players issues with runecrafting in that it is a very dry skill that is not fun to train. One of my designs for a minigame was a game where you siphoned runic energy out of barriers that broke...

nervous jmod sounds

(´・ω・`) I made the mistake in googling 'slime girls' when looking up reference material for the event.

You could get a working prototype in that time. Possibly even looking tolerable, but you'd need longer to get the balancing and feel right and to get the full graphics in place as well.

Then of course there's the rewards...

That's quite likely. Looks at certain kickstarted games

Yus, you won't be able to get the physical armour set though.

I retracted my every week comment because we’d struggle to splice together general Q&A plus retaining a focus on the core content.

However there is room for the general Q&A questions, always so let me see what I can do!

I think they could bang out some great stuff in 2-4 weeks if they were allowed to just be creative!

So, 2-4 weeks is really not much time. We could do some bugfixes and maybe one or two tiny things, but 2-4 weeks is I'm afraid not going to get you much.

For context, most of the updates we release have a dev cycle of about 3 months, with the bigger updates taking longer. That time is needed for the design, scriping, graphics, audio and QA and even then we're often really up the the wire with time.

I mean obviously I'm totally on board with me just being given infinite resources and infinite time to just add whatever I would like to the game. But realistically it's sometimes good for someone to be able to shake their head at me and tell me no. ;)

Hey I poked people about seren godbow today and I'm going to bug Daze every day until he improves it :P
