We're JMods, yes, but we're human beings too! We have families, hobbies and personal lives. Some days are tough and you just want to unwind on the sofa with a good cuppa tea, a cat and a 2 hour long youtube documentary about speedrunning.

This might be the case, but communication with the community is a total dumpster fire. Reddit, Discord, Twitter etc.

Pick a location a make it the primary point of contact. It grinds my gears that the expectation of Jagex seems to be that everyone has to be on every social media platform and in every chat to catch something someone might say. Fixing this scattershot approach might help with the perception of the poor state of communication. You never know.

I wonder if that is contributing to the community’s feelings of a lack of direction.

The major contributing factor to the above is the lack of direction. Closely followed by the exodus of JMods from RS3 to OSRS. Now the lack of forward projections for content is likely to translate into an actual total lack of content in the coming months.

communication with the community is a total dumpster fire

It'd be easier if everyone congregated in one space, but there's no accounting for taste these days so we just have to be everywhere! I make a concerted effort to include Reddit, Discord and Twitter in any communication we plan to do with players as that's where the majority of our players congregate and I'd rather hit all three than, say, stick to Twitter and force everyone to make an account over there to participate.

As for other Jmods (namely ones whose jobs don't ask them to be actively communicating with the community, but rather do so of their own volition and because they want to hear from players and get opinions, feedback and have constructive conversations) - they stick to platforms they feel particularly comfortable with.

That's entirely their own choice, and I'm always happy to support members of the team looking to jump onto new plat...

They've not gone missing - the Mod who took this on as a project has been running into some obstacles with the volume and level of data we're pulling in but is still powering through it!

I wish I could tell you more beyond that or give you a date, but I've offered my help to try and get the ball rolling because I wanna know what I got up to this year, too!

What a haul! I had a blast trying this out myself recently, it's super fun and I hope you enjoy your first session next week!

Something about putting your best foot forward here... This has been flagged up by one of our lovely team so we'll investigate this one, cheers!

Marshmallows now BIS food for Zuk? A toasty, tasty treat for when things go sideways.

Toasty! Thanks for flagging this up, the team are aware and investigating. Stay safe out there!

I wasn't sure who to tag for something like this u/JagexDoom u/JagexSponge, could either of you perhaps direct me either who to tag or pass it along to them?

Even came with diagrams! Very interesting write up, thanks for this. I particularly like the shield bashes, but I'm a little biased towards "sword and board" playstyles in general.

Hello all - we've got an update on those of you on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices!

We will be hoping to release an update by the end of this week to address crashing issues for Android devices so you should be able to enjoy Double XP in peace! For those of you on iOS, we've rolled out an update today that should resolve crashes on those devices too.

We'll be continuing to monitor feedback on this with the aim that we may need to address another update on this later this month, but we're very excited to get the Android side of this fix deployed very soon. Thanks again for your patience on this one, and enjoy Double XP!

Hi Doom, I'm sorry to hijack and ask again- I'm not sure how else to ask

Would there ever be scope to move all Retro cosmetics to Runecoins? At the moment there's no way anyone buys them in the first couple of years of their account. We want to spend Ruencoins, please let us!

Hi u/Torezx - I can certainly raise it with the team as a point we can try and look to do for our next big Marketplace update!

First off, I would like to apologize for putting you on blast with the caps.I know it was not your idea or creation and there were many other hands that went into this.Without mods like you the communication would be totally lost, so for that I thank you.This video was how hero pass had reached me, and most likely lots of other players too.

I believe recycled content is any and all graphical reworks, achievements for comp, or useless content like the wood cutting grove, Hets oasis, Fort Forinthy

In my opinion. respectfully.

I thought the All Caps was a reference to MF DOOM! Ah, my mistake - yes, that's definitely me in the video, you got me!

So you would prefer content that doesn't change any graphical aspects of the game, have achievements or provide skilling methods - just bosses and clan updates? To be clear, high level PvM is very intensive and the skill required to do it is very admirable, but it's also not for everyone. Skilling might not be your cuppa tea but it's absolutely a crucial part of what makes RuneScape... well, RuneScape! Just like Questing, or having achievements to pursue and striving to maintain true completionist status.

I don't disagree with what you're saying here but I also don't want the game to become a purely PvM game where skills never get improvements, new methods or rewards and areas never get graphical updates. There is a balance that can be found to make sure all kinds of players have something to look forward to. I'm eager for the team to find that b...

(From a high tier pvmer) To be completely honest, I quit the game at the time MOD DOOM announced hero pass. The only things that will get me back and playing every day is...  Bring magic, melee and ranged back to BE EQUAL with necromancy. None of this meta crap. The combat beta at this time still is broken and needs tons of work. You also need to work on communication. 

Without any new boss releases I'm not going to come back. We need loads of content. Yall just can't deliver.  (vorkath being an absolute joke) can't believe you did him like that. 

It's a sad time for runescape 3.

Oh yeah.. QUIT RECYCLING CONTENT. 

Fix the heckin clan citadel.

This is why high tier pvmers don't want to play anymore.

I believe Mods Hooli and Jack introduced Hero Pass, actually! Must admit, you're getting a comment for remembering all caps when you spell the man's name. Would be interested to hear your definition of recycling content, though!

We're investigating issues affecting the S24 phones and other phones with Snapdragon processors. We're hoping to have a fix rolled out for this soon. I will contact the team to see if we can flag up that this is a know issue on our Player Support page to give this some more visibility. In the meantime rest assured that the issue is known and we're investigating! Cheers, have a great week.

Another monday update soon...

Will the Jagex RS3 staff find the competency to update their own game properly this time and include the valentines sprites that were supposed to be there about a week ago? And what happens with the time that was lost, sweep it under the carpet like the news post? Radio silence on expanding the time this should be up due to the internal failings of this company?

How does this even happen? Seriously. What kind of Mickey Mouse operation is the RS3 team running when they fail to apply seasonal events. Is this where we're at now? There is nobody there that knows what they're doing anymore?

Do I hold off on membership until I actually see DXP applied since the reality of the game is that what is planned is not explicitly what will happen (unless it's treasure hunter, they will always fix THAT asap), as this game seems to be run by incompetents.

Good news, after we investigated the issue, sprites will be arriving in game today - Rosie will also be looking her best in Burthorpe offering a batch of Heartments and a gift box to help you catch up too!

See you in-game, and best of luck in your DXP Gains!
