Anyone know what’s going on with soul wars changes?
They're coming with this week's game update.
We'd hoped to put on a stream of sorts today to go through them, but we weren't quite ready for it :(
Hoping we can share more on socials tomorrow (as well as all the info being in the game update newspost), keep an eye out!
I'm worried about the Runite rocks in the dungeon becoming a bot spot. How will you address potential bots? (Other than aggressive skeletons).
Is a total level of 500 required to access the island per "players require a total level of 500 and a combat level of 40 to play Soul Wars"?
There are no requirements to visit the island at present. The Runite rock would be surrounded by the Skeletons and the Iron dragon will be close enough to aggro anyone trying to mine it.
If bloodvelds are to be classified as demons, will they drop bones or demonic ash?
They will continue to drop bones, though this might change in the future when we revisit the ability to automatically scatter ashes.
Shame, that was the only thing I wanted to vote yes on. Skipping everything else.
:( sorry!
You removed the Ectoplasmator from the Poll? That was the only thing I wanted to vote yes on. Everything else was a skip.
Sorry about that! It'll be back again sometime in the very near future, though it may be a different item serving the same purpose by then :)
- 18/01/2021 - Increased the number of Greator Demons, Fire Giants, Blue Dragons and Iron Dragons that will be available on 'Soul Wars Island'.
Love greator demons
Oopsie woopsie...
Fixed that cheers!
Since you guys updated the revenant caves the multi scene has died. Any chance you can revisit this piece of content and actually target the gold farmers abusing it rather than nuking the multi scene? The way the revs are spread out now is perfect to prevent clans from camping the worlds
We'll be looking to make changes to the Revenant Caves with the upcoming Wilderness Changes mentioned in December's Gazette. We'll have more to share a little later this year!
- Removed the previous 'Poll Question #23' offering an update to the Ectoplasmator in preparation for the release of Demonic Ash. We will revisit this again closer to when A Kingdom Divided releases, likely by offering a different item instead.
Can anyone inform me what was the proposal as I did not read the original blog? :(
With the upcoming release of A Kingdom Divided and the Arceuus Spellbook rework, we'll be introducing a new way to train Prayer by allowing players to scatter demonic ashes for Prayer experience. If you missed the information about this update, check out all of the details in this blog.
Nice and early in preparation for the release, we'd like to take a look at the functionality of the Ectoplasmator. We propose that it could scatter demonic ash in a similar way to how the Bonecrusher automatically buries bones.
In order to do this we'd make it so the Ectoplasmator can be charged with soul runes.
Existing Ectoplasmator effects would not be changed as a result of this update.
you're simply unable to fathom the issues outside of max hit.the damage per second of the vls is way higher than any godsword lmao
The fights in PvP worlds aren't typically focused around dps though.
Sure, in a longer fight the VLS is likely to out perform another spec weapon, but PvP world fights heavily rely on KO potential and the VLS doesn't have higher KO potential than the AGS or Dragon Claws.
Most players I've spoke to want it for extra variety if nothing else.
why don't they wear clothes that fit? They would still look buff and less like sausage casings
We just got out of a mad gym session so we're still pretty pumped up from all the heavy lifting
Same tbh
Would this be the raw completions or allow for the export of the specific achievements?
No plans at the moment, literally just something we've talked about rather than started to design kind of thing. I imagine it would just be the total number of items collected though?
Will the collection log be updated to also include missing items from e.g. LMS and Volcanic Mine?
It will yeah, this little bit of text is just below the Collection Log poll questions:
In addition to the above poll questions, we will also be updating the Collection Log to include various items from other activities that are currently missing. Is there something in particular you think should be included? Then let us know by replying to the feedback links at the bottom of this blog!
The combat achievements symbol in the proposed interface is the same symbol as the open tab. Should it be the orange symbol that is all the way to the right next to the Kourend Favour?
The icons that are used in the image are just placeholder, they'll change with the full release :)
Read morePoll Question #11
Should the Jar of Spirits be added to the Corporeal Beast loot table? This jar can be used to showcase your very own Corporeal Beast in your Player Owned House. Inclusion of the jar would not impact the drop rate of existing unique items and would have a drop rate of 1/1000.
Hmm, drop rate isn't too terrible, say you get 8 kills/hour solo, that puts it back at 125 hours to get the Jar on average. Or ranging from 250-333 hours (3-4p/hour), which is around . Still an order of magnitude less than Skitizo's jar of darkness, and given the other drops gather on route to the jar, it's just inevitable from a longer Corp grind. Not too shabby a jar.
Poll Question #13
Should there be a small chance of receiving bird's egg nests when emptying a full bird house? This change would not impact the amount of seed nests you would otherwise receive.
Would this remove the existing chanc...
The only change being made with Poll Question #13 is slightly lowering the chance of receiving empty nests (2%) and ring nests (1%) - all other nests will remain unchanged!
Sorry if someone already asked but why would more accurate kc times need a toggle? Can't you just show the accurate times always? I don't see any downsides to that.
We typically do this for anything that comes with a toggle, as it's likely the ones that want to have the change apply will enable it anyway.
Plus the change would make the text a little less "cleaner" I guess? Some people might not like that, and if anyone doesn't know the update happened, it's likely they'll send a bug report about it (that happens a fair bit!)
Should Gilded and 3rd Age pieces from the Hard, Elite and Master Clue Scroll sections be separated into their own sections so it’s more feasible to complete them? Hard, Elite and Master Mega-rare Clue Scroll sections would be added specifically for these items.
Why not just have a megarare tab with all hard, elite and master gilded/3a pieces? Would be a lot cleaner.
The reason behind multiple sections is because part of the point of the Collection Log is to also allow people to see which tier the items come from. We discussed this and felt while 3 tabs may look a little more clunky, it still retains the benefits of why items are in multiple tabs too.
Are the rocks soft clay or regular dry clay? The picture seems to suggest dry but the text says soft. You're great, btw
Oh they'd be normal clay rocks! I'll make sure that gets changed thank you :)
This is like the most disconnected poll I've ever seen from this team, all such useless stuff that already exists in some way?? Either that or its pointless interface clutter, or a Corp jar?? You really trying to leave nothing but bots at lms too? Where is fishing boss?
It's a game improvements blog, not exactly the flashiest of content, maybe that's why you feel it's disconnected? I'm seeing a LOT of support elsewhere for what's been offered, not sure how I can change that for you, but please let me know if you have other suggestions!
Tempoross is coming soon, it's still being developed :)
