Runescape Dev Tracker

Yeah as you say it's tricky because it's a huge topic.

The section you quoted wasn't about not doing finales, it was about how we need to finish storylines when they still matter, not just leave two years between quests. Basically the situation where some questline is still not finished is bad, and my priority is making sure we don't keep doing that, hence the "we should push ahead with a specific storyline to finish it" attitude.

All that said, I'm not against doing old finales - I would go so far as to say we should do that, but there are just a bunch of factors. We can't just "ship Arposandra" - the anticipated scope is huge, it's not a monthly update, it's the environmental focus of the year. I actually pitched "Desert Finale" for the period that became LOZ, and in retrospect if I could go back I would push it harder. (Part of the consideration is that at the time Rowley was busy with Necromancy, and I think we'd all prefer that he was involved...

Cool!

I do

That's nothing like what I said.

We have had discussions about this feature and the impact of the API changes over the past few months.

Given it's an intensely busy time at the studio, it's not something we've had a chance to discuss for a month or so to be completely honest - but we will chat about this further when we next have time.

At the very least we'd like to make sure we get some some sort of information out there on what we're going to do - or not do - following the change as we know some people really value this. I wouldn't expect news for a while though.

Heyo Folks just wanna chime in here, we are aware the JagexClock and JagexAuto accounts have ceased functioning currently, we need to update our systems to work with some recent Twitter changes and so the team is currently looking into this.

Unfortunately, I do not have any ETA on when these functions will return and if any of the systems will need to be altered or dropped to fit in this new system.

Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Yeah that page is wrong - we're working with the relevant team to get it updated.

The Double XP: LIVE section in the TWIR is correct - it ends on Monday May 29th.

It's the webpage that's wrong. We've raised that to the team that owns it to fix.

This is a great question given this changed based on feedback. We'll raise it to the platform team.

Heyo! We have updated the text to remove the confusion at the moment. We will be talking about the Max Cash Update when it is due to launch to help clarify what will change.

We'll be getting back to regular streams shortly including Q&As.

Doom has been with us three months now so he's in a great spot to get that started. The Necromancy Creator Trip (and preparing for First Look next week!) means we haven't been able to start the regular stream cadence we want to do just yet, but after that's all done, it should hopefully be the norm to see streams most weeks.

The Beach is next week!

Totally understand the frustration. We know that's a risk that comes with wanting to be more transparent with things like the Development Roadmap and then seeing something you were looking forward to get delayed.

The main thing is the team are taking the time to get this right and extensively test it. It touches so many things in the game that we have to do as much as we can to make sure it releases as you'd expect.

Based on how much testing has been done by this point, we're optimistic June 12th is the date. As we promised in the post, if it has to shift again (ie. fix needs more time or something), we're going to be open about it and keep you updated on when. Not what we expect to happen though.

Not at all the plan. Max Cash was originally due to drop this week in our schedule until we discovered the engine fix that was needed in that extensive testing pass for the change.

Most of our QOL update work is going into the Community Hitlist Strike at the moment, balanced around development support for Necromancy as we get to that big push later development phase!

This ended up being a much smaller Patch Week than usual, but you should still see a healthy flow of patch fixes on the road to the Hitlist.
