Hey Korobenicky. Sorry you’re not able to do this yet, truth be told there are just way higher priorities for the already stretched engine team.

It’s not that we’re against it, I’m actually in favour of this since there’s no reason not to be.

I hope there aren’t hard feelings - I didn’t intend to mock anyone. I was amused by the idea of a someone playing a desktop game on their mobile, only to turn their mobile into a de facto desktop.

Just one of those things I couldn’t hold in. You know when you shouldn’t laugh at something and that just make it a lot worse. Anyway. That doesn’t mean the whole idea is veto’d. I reckon we’ll have it eventually.

ETA on when the newest poll results will be implemented?

Most of them will be early in the New Year. Things tend to slow down in December as people take leave - hopefully a few of the changes will come through this side of Christmas.

The volatile staff spec damage needs to scale with Magic level. It might be somewhat balanced in the high-lvl combat brackets where you have ags and ballista to compete, but it's honestly broken at lower brackets. With 75 Magic, 1 Def, 70 HP and 31 Prayer, wearing the volatile staff (my +1 item), occult and MA2 cape only I'm able to hit 73s, with potential of hitting another one 5 ticks later. That's a cb lvl of 57. Tell me how melee and ranged can hit 70s in that cb bracket. It can also easily be stacked with 1 gmaul spec, hitting up to 100 damage in a single tick.

The damage formula could be somthing like Magic/2 + 6, so base max hit is 44 damage with 76 Magic (max 55 with the setup above), 55 damage with 99 Magic, or 60 damage with 109 Magic (imbued heart, a 20m item).

I also think the harmonised staff is too good in PvP because trident can be used at all here. It's 25% better dps than previous 5-tick fire spells which already were the highest s...

Thanks for this feedback. We'll reconsider the scaling.

I agree with the change, but y'all said you weren't going to change anything in twisted and I spent 4 hours hunting young implings for a lockpick so I'm a little salty

That's fair enough, and we're sorry that your time has been undermined. We knew that'd be the case for some players and it wasn't an easy call to make. We concluded that it was still reasonably early (first quarter) of the league so the majority of players hadn't started that grind.

I don't think the two are related

The staff having an outright minimum hit doesn't sound fair. Does any other special weapon have a minimum hit?

Ah, maybe the wording is open to misinterpretation. Those are the base max hits. So you'll hit from 1-58 with the staff alone if using the Volatile orb special attack. That's the 'base' because adding the staff's own 15% magic damage bonus brings that to 66 and then further damage bonuses from other items can increase that further.

Not sure if this was answered in previous threads or Q&A’s, but would it be possible for the Sire respiratory systems to also give slayer xp? And thanks so much for finally fixing up Sire, as someone who is hunting for the pet I really appreciate these changes!

We've talked about this internally but are wary of significantly buffing the Slayer XP that boss gives.

Seeing as how you already use (o) for offensive blackjacks and (or) for ornamental equipment, can't you just use the suffixes (ha)/(vo)/(el)? Doesn't seem out of place to me.

How so? "Harmonised staff of nightmares" wouldn't even be the longest item name.

Edit: nevermind, I see it wouldn't fit in the combat options menu.

Yeah, the combat options menu is what we were looking at specifically.

Nightmare Staff (H) for harmonised.

Nightmare Staff (V) for volatile.

Nightmare Staff (E) for eldritch.

All 3 are better than Nightmare Staff (Harmonized/Volatile/Eldritch Orb).

You already have many items in game that follow one letter abbreviations so precedent has already been set.

We discussed this option, but they'd have to be lower case (in all our items everything except the first letter is) and we already have (e) used for enchanted items.

Not a fan of how the staff looks, but a fan of the mechanics it has.

Glad you like the mechanics - how would you change the appearance?

Everything except the mace is still overpowered. Gonna vote nope.

If you have balancing feedback, we'd love to hear it so we can adjust the stats.

Please re-rename the Nightmare Staff and change it back to the Staff of Nightmares.

We had to shorten it for spacing reasons, sorry. It gets very long once you add the names of the orb attachments.

That makes a lot more sense. I'll ask about that for you, but I suspect we won't be able to change something like that easily.

Thanks - we'll check this out. Edit: this has been fixed

is it possible to add no slayer task requirment to kill for example cerberus?

Requirements like that usually keep the prices of the rewards more stable so I don't think we ought to remove it in this case.

This is a standard weekly update, not a rollback. Can you clarify what you mean here?

That's in there now :)

Did you forget to add in the lockpick being added to scavengers in CoX?

Added!
