• Solo Solak and AoD updates shown by Mod Ramen
• Arch-Glacor improvements prepared by Mod Shogun
• New basic clothes from Mod Dragon
• Small combat fixes from Mod Ryan and Mod Sponge

All of these were worked on during gamejam and would be a great release, anticipated by the players.

/u/Mod_Miva and /u/JagexAzanna Could we get any update for the players locked out of the game?

I fully agree with you! Getting angry won't solve anything, but I do understand why people can get frustrated to see things like these happen. Like, the things you jmods showed us that you worked on was AMAZING. We all want that stuff in the game! And to then never hear from it again, after all the positive feedback we gave on that, hurts the community. In the end, people pay quite a decent bit to play this game, and to see the things we want being moved aside for things we don't want is frustrating, and I'm sure it's also frustrating for the developers who KNOW what would be good for the game but are not allowed/don't get the time to make it.

In the end, I just hope that the execs at jagex will realize that this is not the way forward, and that the people here who are frustrated will let their voices heard with their wallets, not insults. The employees deserve no abuse, I fully agree with you on that! The execs just need a figuratively ass-whooping (not with insults or a...

Miva, I hope you know that most of the people who throw those insults are not actually mad at you guys, the employees, but at the management and shareholders who are refusing to let jmods make the content we players want. The things you mods showed what you were up to in that little free-project time was everything we all wanted, yet knowing the execs and shareholders it will be shelved and something like more MTX/yaktracks will be pushed instead of it. It's just saddening to see a game that was once glorious in a state that it is in right now. This is NOT because of you, or any of your employee co-workers. It's the execs that we are mad at, but they are hiding.

Just quickly tagging u/Mod_Miva since I don't know if jagex is aware of this issue

Miva, thanks for posting yesterday and trying to at least engage with us. I'm sorry that some people decided to go a step too far and insult you personally. As this thread says, that part is unacceptable.

But there also needs to be understanding why people feel that it's gotten to a point that they can do things like that. There used to be significantly more communication. And I'm not just talking about on this subreddit in particular. I mean in everything.

We used to get at least monthly Q&A streams. We've had maybe three this year?

We used to get Behind the Scenes/Month Ahead posts.

We used to have CMs at least coming in and commenting on threads here that issues that get raised time and time again are at least being looked into. Now even threads that do give feedback in constructive ways feel like they largely fall on deaf ears.

We used to even get communication on MTX changes and why, but since the Oddments and transparency changes earlie...

u/Mod_Miva - do you know if this is likely? I know not all the yak rewards get added and it’s based on popularity I think?

I think that people here are concerned about the game and want it to succeed long-term. This is your hardcore audience and these are your biggest supporters. I think it's not clear to most here, as to whether or not the decisions being made with regard to the implementation of the transactions are in the best long-term interest of the game. At the end of the quarter we DO want you to be making a whole lot of money, but we also don't want you to run the well dry and compromise the integrity of the game by going too far.

People are concerned for the longevity of their investment of decades of time and thousands of dollars in money, and like I said, we are your biggest fans. As evidence of this, I present to you yesterday's reddit post asking about the game update where everyone posted 'Yak track tomorrow'. Certainly zero to extremely low levels of negative feedback there. People were genuinely looking forward to participating in your mtx-focused con...

Here are some thoughts you could pass onto the team working on this.

I would like them to be somehow earnable via in game achievements. I know each skill has a bunch of achievements you can do. Perhaps a reward for completing all those (although for the 120 skills, e.g. farming, some of the achievements take you up to 120 or at least 119). I know someone else made a thread or comment a short while ago with that idea and it had a positive reaction from the rest of the people here (who saw it). I think that would be a suitable way to have requirements for them as well as keeping them mtx free. Some skill's achievements maybe need additions to feel more balanced, but the more the merrier I say.

Another way to do it is to have a skill mini quest for each one. This could tie in, at least thematically to the return to city sized threats that the story is focusing on going forward. Would likely be considerably more dev work (not sure?).

Some skills also have in ga...

I'm sorry that you had to make this comment, it was informative and helpful, but now all you see is more rage.

I believe that's what he meant, yes

Though now that I think about it, maybe it was me who got it wrong, lol

Originally posted by Vice_X_X

I understand where you stand and people attacking/defending you stand, but that's not really an answer. He asked "After the yak track is done" and there won't be Yak Sacks when that happens, right?

Heya! Sorry to bother, but was just wondering if there was some sort of update or current state on this matter; or even a workaround of sorts? Can't really seem to find any official sources or updates, so just figured I would ask here. Thanks in advance!

It's not what YOU think you are, it's what other's value you as.

Why does the community manager not reply to grievances from the community? Not a sign of a remotely good person or community manager.

Only replies to how to help you understand how to make use of the mtx. Not the concern.
