Yeah so the params for hp bonus already exists / how it's handled right now, in general it'd be better imo for a system to figure out your total HP bonus based on a set of criteria so if in a years time we decide we want to change something about how HP is calculated (maybe we decide 10 per gear level instead of 5 or w/e) then it's a single plugin point instead of going and modifying all armor in the game again

yeah probably likewise for torva etc

yep

Or to play along and make up your own mind later, like Sliske's dialogue at the start proposes.

Stop worrying Ramen, it's on the list.

Don't worry

Uhoh the call out

For real it's on the list, don't worry.

The reason its labour intensive is due to how the HP bonus is 'applied' to gear in that currently it's manually on any config you want HP boosts on. (There's no spaghet, its literally just not had a system made to handle it)

We have two options essentially - go through every tank armor config and apply the HP bonus specific to that piece (plz no - i still have nightmares about shogun making me test mining and smithing originally)

Or we make a new system that just 'handles' it that takes into account special cases (like torva / if we want a tank set thats more hp etc)

The list is long and ever growing for us combat folk but we've spoken about it and everyones okay us 'just' doing it / chipping away at it.

Howdy Folks, team is investigating this situation at the moment. Will update once we know more.

The engine can't be hotfixed.

The engine has a feature that allows server-side RuneScript (that defines the logic for content) to be hotfixed (that is, modified without rebooting the servers), as long as we're modifying existing triggers and not creating new ones.

Since only server/lobby script can be hotfixed, game data (configs) and client script cannot be hotfixed.

As this extra window is an issue with the game engine, it has to be fixed in a game engine update, and those are typically monthly at most.

Nope. The item's stack quantity is repurposed as an object variable to store data (in the case of unfinished smithing items, split between the finished item ID and your progress toward finishing it), which means that such items cannot stack in your bank. You can either have one or the other, but not both.

The examine is correct.

Patching decorated mining urns was a bit more complicated than some of the other post-release fixes (just finished the code review feedback for urns this afternoon), so a fix to make the decorated urns comply with their description will come in future patch notes.

But for transparency, once patched, the decorated mining/smelting urns will not fill from resources above 99, while incubator effigies will continue to do so. (Which is why some delicate surgery was required, as they're intricately conjoined.)

That's more in the engine realm, and engine builds release less frequently than weekly content updates. I believe our engineers hoped to get a fix into the engine mostly recently released this month, but it didn't quite make the cut, and subsequently are hoping to fix it in the next engine release.

Yep, and appropriate XP in this case is to cap protean bar XP at 99.

I initially implemented the patch as an additional primal protean tier at the start of last week, but upon further discussion with the balancing designers during the week, the preferred approach, considering the long term implications of 110 skill increases, was to cap the XP for this protean, which is where it's now landed at launch.

We've released a hotfix which has hopefully resolved this for you.

Mod Breezy was recently looking into that - it seems to be related to when the levelling benefits are unlocked, which in turn influence the XP rates. The XP rates look to be as expected at level 110 when you've unlocked the Mining levelling benefits.

If you're at level 100, you've unlocked all the levelling benefits for elder rune, but haven't yet unlocked the novite to promethium levelling benefits from pushing to the higher levels.

Similar deal for Smithing and its tiered levelling benefits.

Both are known issues and are being looked into.
