Hey thanks Doom for the quick response as always! This helps assuage fear a bit, not that I think there really is anything to fear but it’s always…antsy feeling when we are floating with no direction.

I appreciate that, Yuei! I can only forward on your antsy feelings to the team and push us to share more as soon as we can!
And for the record is Jagex working on another battle pass or bringing back yak track? Just say yes or no.
It's 4:30 on a Friday, c'mon man...
so you are telling me that you guys haven't even created one yet? you guys had a year to think about next year updates...
There's a definite difference between thinking about 2024's updates and outlining our aims and goals - I appreciate your eagerness to see more of what's in store though!
Thanks for clarifying. I imagine the priority was to push the runefest announcement first?
We had a specific date in mind that we wanted to get the "save the date" out there, and that had to sync up across both RuneScape titles. Would have loved to share both before we said goodbye to 2023 but we'll get more out as soon as we can!
Hi all - happy Friday, and Happy New Year!
Didn't expect this post to blow up overnight, so wanted to check in and clarify a few things.
We're hoping to share an update from the team about what RuneScape is looking like in 2024 and give you some level of forward visibility for sure. Obviously, we'll be sharing details about updates along the way, too!
I, personally, know how cool it feels to have a roadmap, and seeing your excitement in response to the last two development update images we shared was so great - we want this to be a higher-level, holistic view of our aims for 2024. We've been trying to do more roadmaps, so we're not anti-roadmap by any means! We'll need a little time post break to pull things together, but we'll be looking to get something out as soon as we can.
Cheers!
Nice
It makes me wonder /u/Jagexstu and /u/JagexJack.
Can we expect something cool for the RuneScape "Quarter Century" celebrations? Maybe more merch on the Jagex Store (and hopefully OST Collections), more background on the character's story (now that we're no longer a WG, and delving in the character's past has been explored).
Perhaps a collaboration with Gamesir for Mobile Phone Accessories... Maybe Frito Lays for RS Pogs, Real life GP Coins or First Age Coins.
Y'know, there's a lot of ways to juice up the 25th anniversary and make RuneScape be the center of attention once again (and for a good reason this time, unlike with Hero Pass).
There's still 2 years remaining and it would be nice to take our feedback on board for a memorable experience.
Wow, no ping for me? 😭
I'm very eager for us to make the big two-five a major moment for us to celebrate, not many titles get to say they turn 25 with a passionate and committed player-base like ours! Lots of ideas to work with, and lots of time for it, so we'll see!
Some people can come in far below rates, and some can be far over. It's the nature of collection logs, unfortunately.
If you're feeling frustrated with the fight, I'd recommend taking a break from it and changing pace until you feel like you want to get back in there and give it another shot. 1:13.6 is a really good time, so you should be proud!
Also, you can press Windows Key + Shift + S to open the screenshot tool and click and drag to grab a screenshot - it'll hide the shaking.
Embarrassed to admit I stared at this for a good 10 seconds before I spotted it. Going to get a coffee now...
Knew Prezleek would be happy. Merry Christmas, 'Scapers!
Are these changes being discussed for NM or HM? NM right now is absolutely horrible for the time, supplies, and effort required.
Also guaranteeing undead hide and some bones in every chest would help a lot in terms of base value.
Have you managed a kill on both NM and HM? What's the average kill times for those looking like for you?
That is a bit dissapointing to hear. None of the loot is appealing at all, as upgrades for my iron. I guess more 120s afking while playing osrs it is.
What would be appealing, out of curiosity?
No helm of neitiznot?! :'(
Year's not over yet, Garl... 👀
I love that OSRS is going to hold an end of the year live stream and RS3 will have nothing.
We had like 4 Q&As this year vs 12 last year. Communication hasn't improved at all.
In all fairness, OSRS nabbed that spot and then, with everyone taking time off, there wasn't another spot. Azanna is currently working on an End-of-Year wrapup style retrospective which I'm looking forward to.
Is a Q&A all you consider to be "improved" communication? Not surveying players for updates, reopening beta worlds, re-enabling Quick Polls on the website, increased presence on social platforms (including out of hours)? None of those? We could scale everything back and only post 1 Q&A thread a month next year, but I'm unsure if this would improve communication in the way you think it might. I could be wrong though! The future is a mystery to us all.
Can we please get a confirmation on whether there will be further loot balancing planned for Vorkath?
We're still having discussions with the team and looking to make another change. It wouldn't be something dramatic like a new BiS item but we have some ideas with what we have that we can explore for the new year.
Thanks for the updates and the amazing updates we got this year. There were some terrible updates too, but nonetheless this year was pretty lit with the Necro release, Vorkath and Zemouregal bossfight, and some amazing hit list updates last few weeks.
1 Thing that's pretty annoying is that the Zamorak HP bar still isn't fixed for me. The phase indicator is in the wrong spot and it's pretty hard to see where the phase HP is at. I can learn the HP by heart, but if grinding through different enrages, it's easier to have the indicators.
Is there an ETA when this will be fixed?
I couldn't give you a concrete ETA but I know that the team are working on testing a fix for this right now and so hopefully we'll have that in ASAP! I'll keep an eye on the bug ticket and give it a nudge in a few days if I haven't heard anything!
No fix for the broken boss HP bars still...? Not interested in zammying when it isn't possible to see phase markers...
Hey - this one's with the team and there's a fix being tested right now.
We're hoping to get that implemented as soon as possible, so you can get back to fighting the big man! (Not Santa. The one with the horns.)
Im glad these are anonymous so they cant check my bank against the suggestions.
Reasonable responses only, surely... right?
Shoutout to r/MicrosoftEdge for remembering my responses from last time, none of which were addressed. Colorblind accessibility is clearly not a priority for Jagex. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Hey, thank you for completing the Survey back then! The engine team have been diligently working on exploring ways we can introduce more accessibility options into the game and help the team build better accessibility features. It's still very much work in progress, but the team are working on it non-stop! (I literally got an update email on this earlier this week!)
Shame us for it not being in your hands by now, if you absolutely must, but I assure you we can't be shamed for not trying.
