A better option than it as it was. If this slight reversion doesn't fix the problem, then I think you should consider increasing the percentage where the curve changes, and making the penalty curve harsher. Such as, until 20% stamina it's the original curve, then instantly drops to 50% decreasing to 1% at 0% stamina.

I'd also be interested to see how bots are affected by the update, because whilst alts will be, bots can simply change their script to not reach low stamina. Jagex will have better data on how much excessive ore flooding in is bots versus alts, but in F2P at least, I think a majority of it is from bots rather than alts.

Yeah bots isn't really a problem I can deal with from a design perspective. I leave that to the bot detection department.

I suspect we might end up with that happening at some point, but better that we get this here now to "fix" the issue. Implementing ranges is going to be so much more work for them, dev and QA-wise probably than just a revert like this.

It's still not much work regardless (some devs were arguing in favour of quadratics when it was them that would have to implement it) but mostly I want to make sure the fix is easy to understand. "It's like before" is very easy to understand.

I still think full progress at >1% stamina is too powerful. I think something like a range of 100% > 60% progress will be great and then just fall off a cliff at 0%. As to Seren Stones, I always thought it was wild how much ore they gave after the initial rework. I think this change is also welcome, but what is with the (1)500 > 2000 discrepency?

I think the discrepancy was just a miscommunication/typo in the patch notes.

Isn’t that what everyone has been saying for a year?

Well, a lot of people are still suggesting systemic changes like giving them extra uses, letting them be disassembled, etc but really the problem is that low value items are being dropped from high value bosses, and that's not a one click fix, that's an evaluate every drop table and decide whether it needs fixing type thing.

Once those changes go live, is everything else in M&S related content in a good enough state in your opinion?

I've definitely still got my eye on stone spirits, but really this is a drop table problem rather than a systems problem.

Have you heard of the M&S re-re-rework? <3

Stamina

The mining changes that went out this Monday which were intended to reduce the viability of AFK ore farming had a much stronger than intended impact on semi-active players. Those who were only clicking rockertunities were seeing a 10-20% reduction in performance.

We've evaluated the situation and decided to partially revert the changes. We're going to keep the harsh penalty at 0 stamina, but otherwise restore full performance as long as your stamina is above 0. This will mean that anyone mining at least semi-actively will have their rates restored to what they were before the recent changes.

Seren Stones

Seren stones also received a fairly harsh reduction in the rate at which corrupted ore was rewarded. However, the purpose of this change was to return corrupted ore rates to where they were before the M&S rework. With the rework, Seren stones were giving far too much ore, which contributed to the problem of smithing XP being undervalued, and ...

Have you tried downloading the dmg in the last few hours? I believe we just shipped the fix for this in the most recent client update

Edit: Seems to have been a deployment issue but we're looking to get this fix out asap

I'm afraid that tablet, despite being a 2019 model, is underpowered for 3d gaming. The GPU is significantly weaker than most android phones released in the past few years. It's unfortunate that this is a specification that manufacturers often hide

I only got a banana =(

A JIRA basically means we have a bug in our system to be looked at/fixed and this one is still assigned to me. I just need to find some time to take a look.

Quite busy with Archaeology at the moment but on the crossover between that release and my next project I'll be slamming my bug pool back to QA!

Got a JIRA in the system for it but due to the size of the job it, when I get a spare hour I pick up 3 smaller jobs instead of a larger job that I may not be able to complete within that hour.

Doing my best to work through all the bugfixes I've got stacked up, bare with me. They're slowly trickling out!
