Thank you for saying what you do say. I really have appreciated your responses and posts, especially when some people take their anger out at whoever they can. Keep it up Doom.

I appreciate that it is incredibly frustrating to have a JMod so visible, but not able to say much - I feel your frustrations and continue to hammer that feedback up the chain to the team! I really want to be able to talk about our plans.

The reason we didn't cap the year off with a roadmap (and have yet to have one) is really simple - we modified our plans in the later stages of 2023.

You're telling me we can't get a roadmap because you made changes late last year? So you have no outline of what's happening in 2024 that can be shared? Huh.

We do have an outline for sure, but because of the other changes happening around them, we're not in a position to make committed public plans just yet.

I know that's probably a frustrating answer, but we just need to hold laying out a vision until we can say with full confidence that we're set up to achieve it properly.

So you're going to get the community involved with the next battle pass that keeper also mentioned. Great....

Nothing to do with a Battle Pass - it's referring to the game itself and how we approach development overall.

This is a completely fair question to ask of us, especially given the lack of a roadmap or vision isn't in line with how we've been trying to do things in more recent times.

While I can't provide a comprehensive answer today, I do want to share what we can right now out of respect for these sorts of posts!

So the most important bit - we want to provide you a picture of what’s ahead as soon as we possibly can, and we’re working towards it as quickly as possible. We know it’s important and we’re all really wanting to make it happen asap!

The reason we didn't cap the year off with a roadmap (and have yet to have one) is really simple - we modified our plans in the later stages of 2023.

Hero Pass made it clear that we need to get more player voice into development, which has led to us re-assessing how we approach things. Mod Keeper mentioned it in his message following Hero Pass, but we have a desire to be a lot closer to all of you as players in our dev...

Does Keeper and Hooli still work at jagex. I don't understand why their silent.

They do indeed! Though Mod Hooli has taken more of a role behind the curtain helping channel Community feedback up the chain while I take more of a central role with Azanna on the player-facing side. Both still here, but they let me do more of the talking when I can (which is good, because I talk a lot)

As many others I'm disappointed by the oddment nerf and the roadmap that keeps us waiting...

That being said, it's an impressive list of patch notes and QoL updates. Thanks to all the mods who worked on those. You've outdone yourselves with this community hitlist again 🙏

And I feel the disappointment, and will keep pushing that feedback up the chain as much as I possibly can!

I'll be sure to pass on your thanks to the team, again.

Well, I'm not as close to the conversation but from Mod Ryan, a few weeks back:

I'm sure people would meme about other JMods given the opportunity. But the reality is that CMs are the ones in front of the camera most of the time. Have to take what they can get.

Basically what I'm saying is.... Throw your fellow JMods into the line of fire.

I would never throw my fellow JMods into the line of fire! I'm here to be seen and be memed. They're here to do their amazing work - I love being able to sit down with them and talk to them about their work, and hear their passion and enthusiasm come through, but they know I'm always in their corner cheering them on.

You know how many people are going to see jmod reply and think there's news now?

I mean, it's been almost a year now - people who frequent this subreddit should know just because I've replied, doesn't mean I have news. Sometimes I just wanna pop in and say hello!

I can't say much about anything these days - everything I say is a tease!

Is it bad that I prefer the look of one of the TH necro sets over rasial set?

Everyone's got their own tastes - That Soul Reaver Necromancer Outfit is calling my name! 😩

Still no dyable necro gear what the hell lol 😂 what are devs doing at Jagex, OSRS seems to have constant content but all we get are minor bug fixes and temp promo crap.

That Dyeable Necro gear might be closer than you think, you never know... 👀

This is wicked! Love to see stained glass and the world of RuneScape collide :D

I'm also currently working on something RuneScape related with stained glass

It’s hard to tell whether or not they were actually joking or that was backpedaling given the even greater negative reaction his comment received. Like everything that jagex says these days, just gotta take it with a grain of salt.

Good to know that we will probably get a road map though

I have it on good authority that it was a joke - not sure why u/Dapper_Ad_6304 got downvoted for that. I think I'm allowed to make jokes after what I've been through!
