Runescape Dev Tracker

The design objective was to make a high tier tool that felt valuable as it would take some good time and effort to create. Adding in the feature of a D&D made sense, but we went back and forth of "is this the right thing to do if it's not reworked"

If we didn't add it as a step, it'd be too short of a grind, and there's not too much else we could plug in to that felt appropriate. But we also wouldn't be able to add it later once it does get a rework because that would be weird - do you see the dilemma?

Another objective of the creation process was to make something that could be adapted to other skills, e.g. the tier 100 Woodcutting hatchet that will come with 110 Woodcutting & Fletching - in the same way that the process is standard for T90/99 tools of smashing Imcando + Crystal together. So you can imagine that one incorporating the Evil Tree in place of the Shooting Star.

RE: Wildy star, yeah good shout, we can discuss adding it to that for sure.

That's it, I'm calling a sickie on the next release day i'm involved in

I think most folk would agree that delaying an entire update like this, the headline update for the month, just so that we can rework shooting stars as a D&D is actually not ideal. That'd be major scope-creep.

The core objective with 110 update is to deliver on our promises and deliver consistent and frequent enough skilling updates to give players things to do, goals to chase, money to make etc.

Delaying it in the name of reworking one aspect of it goes against that objective. As much as we would have loved to do it, and believe me we tried, we can't let perfection get in the way or otherwise we'd never release anything.

As much as i loved this show, it definitely traumatised me as a child

Yep, Prime Time (like most mining side-effects eg Mining daily challenges)'s timer activates when you harvest an ore - the ensouled moonstone eats the ore before the harvest triggers can run.

So you'll need to either bank the moonstone or satisfy its hunger for the primal ores.

Yes this has been brought up to the team.

Hi all, first of all thank you all so much for your feedback and reports today, we've really enjoyed seeing you all smash away at those rocks and primal bars - and equally hope that you've been enjoying exploring the new content.

A hotfix just went out now to increase the HP of shooting stars by x10. You should find they last longer now before you reach the core. This should hopefully give you all a better chance at finding that meteorite fragment! Please do note that this is a bit of a band-aid fix as we look to get a proper fix in for next week's Monday update, but until then go give that poor Star Sprite hell. (P.S. you may find that this doesn't affect stars that are already live as i type this)

Now it's time for us Jmods to relax our feet a little for the evening, but we'll continue to monitor throughout the week and make adjustments where necessary, and want to ensure we avoid this kind of thing for future updates, especially 110 Woodcutting and Fletc...

We spoke to Luma a couple months ago and she said it was only about 90% dev complete (emphasis on dev). She said it requires more art work (character, animation, and environment), some small dialogue additions, as well as needing to be completely QA'd, balanced, and design reviewed - so it's quite a fair amount of work still.

In the meantime however, our producers have tried to get background resources working on art, but unfortunately couldn't manage to get the rest squeezed in with our update. But I know Luma is very eager to get it out, as am I :D

It being in March doesn't change anything as gamejam projects don't get worked on outside of gamejam until officially put on a roadmap or devs/QA work on it in their personal time.

Edit: see my comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1eqdzxv/shouldve_snuck_in_the_shooting_star_update_done/lhs3dcv/

:(

That is intended, you are feeding it to charge the stone.

We actually did investigate if we could slot Luma's Shooting Star update in with this update but unfortunately it required a fair bit more work and time than we had scheduled for the 110 M&S update.

We'd still love to get it out some day though, maybe Luma will work on it next gamejam :)

soon(tm) (progress is being made behind the scenes!)

Team has identified an issue with the Make X system dropping unfinished items at the players feet, this is cause by already having a created version of the item in your inventory (for example arrowheads etc) while the team work to fix this issue please deposit any crafted items like arrowheads into your bank before starting the new load.

• The Family Crest quest is no longer required to store Silver and Gold in the Ore Box and Metal Bank. The quest still unlocks the Smelting Gauntlets.

We are bug testing this at the moment, right now when you ask it to make 60 of an item it will take enough bars to fill you inventory and then stop, using 28 bars and not placing anything on the floor.

Do you have any screenshots or video of this issue?

Heyo, do you have a video of this happening or can you walk me through the steps you are taking and which items exactly?

Might be an early take. When you've made it, you may feel differently.

Just double-checked the skill-check logic for urns and it looks like they should work, on paper, unless there's an interception break I'm not seeing.

I'm sure you'll let us know if they don't. ;)

Primal pick is better than E&S; pickaxe of REDACTED & REDACTED is better than primal pick.
