Hooray! Glad you guys are working on it, figured with it being the middle of the night there wouldn't be much other than a SKELETON crew. (lol)

When it's this late at night, I greatly appreciate the dad joke. Thanks for the laugh.

It's not unintended method, it's unintended design balancing.

There's always a risk when working with 22 years of content relevant to a new Skill that we can miss older content methods that are outside our intentions for the XP balance of the skill. There was nothing wrong being done by doing this.

Essentially it was a nice find, but something we wanted to close off for balance reasons rather than being a bug that was abused.

This is a known issue that's affecting a small subset of players. Sorry you've been affected.

If you log out and retry the cinematic, you should be offered the option to skip. This is a workaround for anyone running into this - let us know if it helps you progress.

We're consistently monitoring XP earn rates across the Skill to ensure all methods are within reasonable expectations for progression.

It was valid, you absolutely didn't break any rules or doing anything untoward. We addressed the rate because it was as outside of intended experience rates based on our designs - partly due to it being an outdated method.

Anything you earned is legitimate, even if we needed to address the XP rate, so you've still got the gains from the method even if it's not viable anymore.

Black screen for me too on mobile, I’ve reinstalled app but no luck. Keep getting insta kill animations popping up too. Any fix?

Have you tried recently? We deployed a Hotfix that lets you skip the cinematic, which we believe will be a temporary workaround for the issue.

Going to investigate this tomorrow! Must have messed up something when I added the Tome of Um auto-storage mechanic. :( Thank you for reporting!

Thanks for letting us know, I believe I know why and will investigate a fix.

Just to check in some confirmation here, as part of the rituals you can receive items from taking part in the random events that spawn including bones.

Have I mentioned how much I would like daylight savings time to go away

Update should be going live at 13:00 BST. I believe EST is 6 hours behind BST so it should be live around 07:00 EST
