Can we confirm our group before all players have joined? Some of my group mates won't be on until tonight. Can i start playing with 3/5 players added? Or won't i be able to add the other 2 if i confirm the group now?
Yeah you can add players later - you have up to 7 days to add members and will retain founders status.
You can go to the Iron Enclave by travelling through the portal which is located just outside Lumbridge castle.
Thanks for answering, I would like to understand more on the hiscore part. Will it be ranked in terms of combined XP per 2-5 groups like how osrs gim is, or will rs3 will also have hiscore wrt combined XP for a specific skill as well?
Combined XP per group; different hiscores for each group size.
Hey, so as others have mentioned you will be able to do Wilderness Flash Events specifically for the above reasons, but you won't get any rewards from them as a CGIM.
The idea is anything that quest, comp, and trim should be available for all CGIM players to obtain. We may have missed something - there's a lot of requirements and there may have been something that slipped through. However, this is something we'd fix ASAP to ensure players can get these items. If you see anything just report as a bug and we'll get right on it!
Very hype for this game mode, however, can we get some clarification of whether or not these still will be world 1st broadcasted for group ironman? And if so, does 1 person completing is enough for the broadcast or do all of em have to complete it?
No, these won't trigger again. We opted for new broadcasts to be group related - while I understand the appeal for them I think it helps keep the focus on the groups that are accomplishing awesome things. There's also the practical production side of things where with unlimited time maybe we'd consider but thought we'd invest our time in other places.
Given that we will have competitive GIM. What does the competitive mean? How will the hiscore look like to make it competitive?
Competitive means all progress needs to come from within the group - this means you won't be able to boss with others, you'll need to do 100% damage on enemies etc. Full rules will be displayed in game and there are blogs with more information if you want to read them.
There will be a different page for the Competitive hiscores so will be very clear which is which.
Does the "Total Level" journey achievement require every member to reach a specific amount, or is it the total level sum across the entire group? In the video Mod Rsguy says for one of the achievements for journey 0 it requires "a total level of 40 per player." However, the achievement description says "achieve 80 total level across the group." I assume the total is because taking the number of players in the group multiplied by 40, but the wording leads me to believe that one person can gain 80 levels (or whatever amount of levels) to unlock group storage. Is this correct?
What will happen to the completed achievements if a new member joins after some of them are completed? Will group storage access be lost?
Thank you for the clarification. Trying to plan with one of my team members not being able to play for the first few weeks, but want to get them added for founder status.
It's the sum across the whole group - it scaled based on your group size so 40 per player would be 80 for a 2-person group, 120 for a 3-person group etc. So yeah one player can boss out all the levels if they so desired - at some point everyone will need to start pulling their weight however.
If group members change, then achievements will update accordingly but group storage is literally locked behind the most simple of achievements so unless no one else in your group wanted to do Cook's Assistant I can't imagine you'd ever lose access.
can we look at adding the green arrow indicator from the detonate ability to this as well? the arrow is used at various bosses, such as raids and ed2 for their poison mechanics. it's actually really difficult to see for people with green colour blindness and they are extremely important to be able to see them
Apologies, not understanding completely - do you want the green arrows adding somewhere, or you'd like to be able to recolour the green arrows themselves?
You can also toggle High Contrast Mode more quickly by right-clicking the World Map icon on your minimap.
For the super pro strats, you can also create a keybind for it in the options to quickly toggle at will. When that 007 penguin spawns, go go go!
With regular GIM, are there any limitations with creating group encounters with people outside of the group? My group has no intention of wanting to be competitive so more interested in differences with GIM interacting with groups like Ironmen or mains can do.
Regular GIM largely follows the same ruleset as ironman, so you'll be able to team up with mains and other irons.
There is a lot of emphasis on CGIM. How do you opt in and out of being a CGIM? Is CGIM the default option upon creating a character?
Also, what things can not be stored in the group bank and why was the trade restriction put in place with your group to trade with each other?
Hey, you will be able to choose this upon group creation. They're presented as an equal choice to the group leader. You can also choose to downgrade from CGIM -> GIM later by the group voting on it.
Does this include irons that convert to gim?
Yes, as long as you're group ironman, you will have access to all auras.
Do you get sent to the iron enclave before or after the optional completion of tutorial island?
After completion of the tutorial.
What happens if another player has damaged a monster, and then the monster regens hp back to full? Are cgim able to kill the monster and get xp/drops, or does it count the damage from before, making cgim ineligible?
If the monster resets back to full, then you will be able to get XP/drops again!
There will be a icon on the NPC's buff bar to indicate if you aren't able to get XP/drops so you can easily made a decision on what monsters to fight or avoid.
Hello,
Wanted to first praise the most recent blog - as a dull 'ironman integrity' bore it brought a massive smile to my face.
Something I'm not entirely clear on - in order to have both CGIM and founder status, do all five members of the group need to be logged on before anyone moves off the island? My group has people in timezones ranging from PT to GMT+2 so it's not the easiest thing to coordinate if so!
Hey, we've added a 7 day window from group creation for founders status. As long as it's just adding extra players to your group, you will retain founders. If someone leaves and then you add someone else in that slot, you will lose founders however.
Will CGIM be able to participate in holiday events skilling (Halloween, Christmas etc.) fully?
Hey, for launch we are planning on Group Ironman (regular and competitive) to get no XP from the Halloween hub - this is because we'd like to encourage players to engage with the wider game. However, GIM and CGIM will still be able to engage with the event in general, gather spooky tokens, complete the quest and unlock the cosmetic rewards via the intended systems.
Longer term, we plan on regular GIM to follow the normal ironman rules; while Competitive GIM we'd love to discuss more with the community which direction you'd like us to go in - would you like CGIM to be able to get XP from holiday events or not?
Will quest reward items such as balmung, sunspear or ancient staff be able to be placed in group storage?
Hey, if quest items are untradeable and haven't been added to the whitelist they cannot be placed in group storage, which cover Balmung and Sunspear. The ancient staff is tradeable which means you'll be able to add to group storage, however you still need to complete Desert Treasure as an individual to equip it.
Is it all GIMs that get all the auras, or just CGIMs?
GIM and CGIM will get the auras :)
What actually happens if cgim interact with other players in bosses or activities?
Hey, for the most part we've aimed to restrict the ability to interact with others. For bosses, CGIM will only be able to use private encounters (which we've made free of charge!). For other activities, such as minigames and D&Ds, again largely you will only be able to enter/interact with them as a group - this does mean some minigames will be blocked on launched as there is no way to enter with just your group or they are currently blocked to regular ironmen; however we've tried to make as much content available as possible for launch.
Is Group Ironman strictly P2P? Or can a group or member contribute on f2p?
Group Ironman members can be free or members; and you can have any mix of players within an individual group.
