I believe the cauldrons should work as the Golems did, let me know if they aren't working as intended.

Did I miss it or is there no news on clue gamejam?

Previous Gamejam projects like Mod Shogun/Dorn looking into QoL things like clue pings etc is still ongoing work, unfortunately there wasn't very much visual things to showcase on that front but they do still exist and hopefully we can get them out to players in the future.

Mod azanna, how do gam jam updates typically get released ? Do a few get released simultaneously or is just thrown in an update when it’s ready one at a time ?

Depends honestly, Mod Alex's Necromancer tower is a good example.

It was worked on as part of the previous game jam and naturally fit with Necromancy's launch so it got extra resources to get done in time for the launch.

Most of the time a Game Jam project has to go through a few iterations at Jams to get to a state where it is ready to push forward on. So often a bunch of projects get the push at around the same time and get worked into the upcoming content timeline so like updates to combat things may get picked up while combat is a focus etc.

There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into each project and they all take a varying amount of time to finalize so generally they come out when they are ready.

Why as an iron can I not use these buffs, if I've unlocked the shit let me give him a few salve doses to access the perk of 1 hour at once. (e.g. I give 2 6 dose salves and get the 1 hour buff) absolutely bullshit we get op shit but minor things like this we don't but I'll bet it wasn't polled or questioned if we do or don't want it.

Recent conversations with the iron community has been fairly split on what should and shouldn't be available and our team is working on understanding what Iron players would like to see out of these kinds of events.

Right now this event is leaning on the older attitude of restrictions but if the Ironman community as a whole would like to see increased access to events like this its something we can look into.

Ah yes. A drop in player count. So release a week of very OP PvM buffs in the hopes of drawing players back. Didn't you learn from the buffs introduced with Hero Pass that we're not looking for these OP FOMO buffs?

This event has been in the works long before Hero Pass was on the cards, the design intent is to create a "package" of PvM related things we can switch on every now and then to enhance combat for a short time similar to things like "Winter Weekends" of the past.

Is this just a re-named raptor event lol?

Either way cool thanks Im working on my slayer logs XD

While the Raptor Rampage buff was considered for this event we wanted to try out some other things and Thok felt like a good fit for a Host.

Wow, the combat aura reset seems really strong.

Test it out and tell us how it feels, this buffs are a bit of a testing ground for some event ideas and so its a good idea to see what is good or too good.

The (self-proclaimed) mightiest warrior in Gielinor wishes to help you scrawny humans be better warriors, like Thok. To this end he has convinced War and Death to help him train you! 

From today until 23:59 Game Time on October 8th you'll be able to find Thok hanging out at War's Retreat offering buffs to help you with combat!

Which previous answer are you referring too?

Unfortunately speaking openly is a tough sell given the circumstances. Right now folks are tense and are looking to jump on anything being said (or perceived to not being said) and this leads to environment that is hard to engage in.

Even this comment will likely receive extra scrutiny and will likely sound robotic/corporatety

Not taking a shot here but the fact y’all are responding to issues outside of the widespread community backlash in regards to the MTX debacle isn’t a good look.

I understand complete radio silence isn’t ideal either, but it might be worth consulting with an external PR agency to figure out how best to deal with this messy situation rn :/

I am responding to outage issues to help players know that we are aware of the potential issue.

The discussions around hero pass are better handled in another manner and we have already released a statement of upcoming changes to the pass alongside a post earlier today to let players know there is more information coming tomorrow https://reddit.com/r/runescape/s/CXE0ZSGimy

Hey folks looks like there is some outages again impacting a few services/games. The team are looking into the situation and hope to resolve this as soon as possible.

I would suggest avoiding any dangerous activities at this time.

Frankly mate, it's very different situations that would honestly require very different approaches.

As I understand it Mod Doom has already mentioned this afternoon that feedback is being taken on board and they will have more to share about it soon enough.

Folks are looking into the situation currently, apologies for the interference.

Hero Pass is a brand new part of the core RuneScape experience, designed to make the game even more rewarding whenever - and however - you choose to play.

Hero Pass builds on lessons of the past to bring a new integrated gameplay experience that fits into your regular play, with more unique cosmetic rewards and earnable buffs that add flavour to the gameplay.

Looks like a fair chunk of the 'Necromancy' patch notes should just be 'General' - they don't seem to have anything to do with the skill itself?

Yeah I am not sure if I was looking at a mislabeled list when I was grouping some of them up or I just lost the plot the other day, gonna look to reorder things.

Who asked for these HCIM changes? Why is this being randomly changed without addressing the community first?

I think it's fair to say that no HCIM player enjoyed not only losing one of their very limited lives but also a ton of progress on the items they had been gathering up to that point whenever they died.

This has been a requested change from HCIM players since the update to death costs as unfortunately dying in HCIM even with plenty of lives left generally left the player weeks if not months behind on progress and frankly this would commonly result in the player deciding its not worth climbing back up the same mountain they had already conquered.

The updates, refinements and polishing continues for Necromancy this week, plus there's a fresh format for Assassin's Return!
