Never seen this term before, help a noob out - what's the origin of this one?

And WHAT THE HECK has been done to defile? Progress bar disappearing before any purple fart appears, disappearing after clicking when progress updates?

A few others on world 56 complaining of the same mechanic now.

u/JagexDoom

Strange, I'll have to see if I can log a bug report for that - do you have a screenshot of this that I can forward?

"Don't shoot the messenger" is not a very good answer when the implication is that until the players double check things first we shouldn't trust any numbers given to us.

Same thing happened with golden bamboo months ago. It's no longer a one off occurrence.

Not absolving myself of this, but just confirming with the team and making sure that the maths is correct so bear with me.

A more compact/immersive version of the interface could help with that, maybe as simple as being able to claim rewards from the Activity Tracker.

At the moment, it also takes 3 clicks(!) to open the Hero Pass from anywhere (Esc -> Upgrades & Extras -> Hero Pass; one less if adding that ugly button to ribbon), so it's not very intuitive or convenient!

Very valid feedback too, I'd love if there was a more convenient way to access it! Especially from an accessibility angle.

Also add an option for oddments or item reward, I'd rather have an option to get them because I will never buy keys and I was 10k from a pet I've been saving for.

Yup, oddments store is firmly in my (iron)sights too if it's something we can tweak. I know that a lot of Irons are sitting on tens of thousands of Oddments, would be great to offer some ways to spend them!

That doesn't answer the posts question tho... how did this ever make it live. The silliest most obvious things happen and u need us to tell you about it so it can be fixed. You can be honest and just say we don't test our updates .

I can't say I ever had the inclination to have the interface open, myself, when I tried it - I prefer to see what I'm doing, but now we've had a lot of feedback around it, we're changing it!

Hotfix for the interface staying open while skilling/combat is being deployed as I type this!

Glad it's not just me getting those sums, so 20% was just a number picked from nowhere it seems

That was the figure I got from the Necromancy team, so that's what I wrote in - I'll go back to them and take a look into this now.

Is there any way to turn off the green hero points pop up?

Incidentally how do I check how many hero points I have? I had tons of daily challenge skips saved up and they were converted but I don't see the new currency anywhere?

Overall I feel this is a big update... for Jagex dev team. For me as a player it is shrug.

Disappointed the invention xp changes haven't happened.

They should be in the bar in the top middle of the Hero Pass progress interface, the skips will have automatically applied. Hoping we get the Invention XP changes in next week!

BTW, Rasial doesn't count for the "skill and kill" in the weekly "gain hero points" task.

Weird - I'll get that logged with the team now.

You've really dropped the ball with this my god.

Hero pass progress popups are really distracting.

Hero satchels should contain DTDs if dailies are never coming back.

Stop closing the UI when interacting with anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remove the challenge tab and replace it with a Hero Pass ui if it's going to be permanently in the game.

Let us block skills from the missions if we're 99+, like challenges did. I'm not touching half of the skills I've 200m'ed.

The special missions should have counted from the release of said content. 20 slayer tasks from Raptor and 100 rituals isn't a lot, I know, but you explicitly said you wouldn't be railroading players into doing content.

edit 2: the more I look around, the more I actually hate this update. I don't usually say that, Jagex. I know nothing will change, since all this will blow over in a week as you're probably expecting, but you really need to do better :/

Definitely valid feedback - we've got a fix in to keep the UI open whenever you're skilling or interacting with anything! Have raised the 200m XP Blocking with the team as well.

When you pin the daily mission to the activity tracker, it doesn't show what skill it's currently attuned to in the activity tracker like the yak track tasks would. It was much nicer with yak track being able to pin the tasks and go through multiple tiers without having to open the yak track UI every tier just to see what skills those tasks were. You can't do multiple tasks in a row now because you have to open the UI to claim stuff every task.

Especially with it being multiple layers of interfaces you have to go through now to find what skill it is - click upgrades & extras button on the ribbon (since for some reason it's the only ribbon button without a hover menu to go directly to a specific window), then click hero pass, then go to the missions tab, then potentially scroll up to daily if it isn't currently selected, then x out of both the hero pass window and the upgrades & extras window. There's a lot of extra UI friction now on every task.

The activit...

Thanks for this feedback, we just passed it to the team to consider.

Allow the player to turn off any hooks, audio queues and interruptions the hero pass forces upon the player while going about their day.

  • turn off the ding when you get points
  • turn off pop-ups when I happen to accidentally complete something
  • turn off log-in splash screens
  • turn off combat and action interrupts
  • Turn off reminders
  • ...

I want to dictate when I decide to go and interact or check up on your "major game update" and constant reminders is just going to make me turn off the game completely

it can do it's thing in the background, but I do not want to be notified or deal with what it does until I personally decide to open your poorly designed, UX interface that is jarring with the rest of the UX suit, cannot be adjusted in size,..... and frankly looks like a cheap gacha cash grab on mobile interface

at least the yak track interface had the decency to be quiet and left it u...

Thanks for this feedback, have passed these on to the team and we're already working on allowing the interface to be open during activities :)

Ok can we get a filter to turn off hero points notifications? 5 minutes in and already got old.

An option to turn off in both text and the ping sound it makes. Or at least make it notify you when you hit big threshold, not every time it ticks...it also should be able to be opened in combat and while skilling.

Edit: Oh god please do something about the notification every minute, I hate it so much.

We've got these noted to look at, thank you! :)

u/JagexHooli u/JagexDoom Any comments on how gutted this content is for Irons? Between this and combat xp I picked a terrible time to decide to start playing the game again and playing an iron as of that. Also why Oddments instead of hero store currency if you aren't going to give us the satchels?

We are absolutely looking at that feedback yes. We're hearing Irons loud and clear - working on what we can do with the team.

Hero Pass UI not usable during combat. That's really annoying.
Special Slayer mission locked to a certain master is also bad.

Definitely valid feedback, we're discussing this with the team right now, you're not the only one with that experience so we're seeing how we can tweak that.

Screen flickering still occurs.
During zamorak the lord of chaos fight, when u enter infernus, you still get black box "artifacts". Any of the client performance issues getting addressed in the near future ?

We're waiting on an engine fix for this - /u/JagexDoom may be able to share the latest dates from the team.

We hear you on this, and began conversations last week about how to improve Hero Pass for Ironman players based on the feedback we saw then. The intention of Hero Pass clearly isn't hitting the mark for the Ironman experience as it stands.

It's a focus for the team at the moment and we'll hopefully have some updates to share in the near future.

Why the heck do I need to spend Vis Wax to select my task now rather than be able to block skills I'm already 99/120/200m in?

I thought this update was supposed to mean I can just go about my own business than do some random task in this stupid pass.

You can do absolutely anything to progress it.

You just gain bonus progress from a randomly assigned Skill associated to it, which is purely for optimisation (ie. if you want to finish all three tiers of rewards in half the time).

The Vis Wax is there if you want to get that bonus progress specifically in what you are doing regardless of what is originally assigned you as the bonus skill.
