Poll 83 - Castle Wars, New Player Improvements & Loads More!

Nahhh with how long poll 82 took I won’t be voting in “random small changes” anymore due to how long it actually takes the team to move it over the line when they could be spending time creating/updating content players want.

Not aiming to repeat Poll 82 in terms of length, the team are cognisant of how long it took to deliver those changes and some of them (particularly the Todt changes) being more significant in scope than we'd initially planned for. Still completely appreciate where you're at and appreciate you voicing your feedback like that!

Not to be that guy, genuinely asking - why are blighted rewards even being considered in castle wars crates? I get wanting to sweeten the deal, but I thought blighted items were only meant to be from wilderness content?

Not strictly! We were mostly just looking to avoid alchables or skilling supplies, Blighted supplies felt fitting because CWars is a PvP minigame, perhaps people get a taste and want to move to BH or PvP Worlds or the Wilderness etc., but they're absolutely not locked-in and we're more than open to swapping them out!

Think the change is largely aimed at people who've already hit the 'big ticket drop' and are stuck chasing a tiny component that was sort of supposed to be obtained over the course of the vestige grind (which on average, is still true). Completely appreciate your view though and respect your vote!

Any updates on fixes to Menu Entry Swapper on mobile? I moved "walk here" one time and now everything is broken. I click players and start following them. Anything that has a "walk here" option is out of order and messed up. Like, disasterously so. Seems like moving any shared option in a menu moves it in all menus, so changing the walk here option (super common use case) ruins every single menu order in the game.

I'm not super clued-in on mobile stuff but I know they're working on improvements to the latest batch of Mobile changes as their highest priority

If its the former: awesome. If its the later, please no.

The latter, intended to be another target-farmable source rather than something you just accrue passively without thinking about it

In other Farming news, we’re adding a ‘Last-contract’ option to Guildmaster Jane in the Farming Guild so you can repeat the same tier of Contract you've just turned in.

So instead of complaining about having to click two dialogues, the new complaint will be from players who downgraded from hard to medium or easy and select Last-contract?

I think if this one passes we'd make sure it remembers the last tier you actively selected rather than opted into via downgrades, but that's a very good flag!

Edit: everything else in the blog is perfectly fine.

We can always adjust what they're offering, we're just not looking to throw in alchable or skilling supplies etc., Blighted supplies felt fitting since it's a PvP minigame, but can absolutely be swapped out!

You could teleport around the Catacombs really quickly for fun in the meantime?

Ngl that looks like waaaaaay too much attention paid to CW.

Personally I haven't ever interacted with it, never heard my clanmates talk about it, and the only thing I've read here was that's it's some closed circle thing that only a few people do, and some people dedicate lives to so they can grief others.

Reading about it in this blog seems like a waste of time and instantly seems like it'll just be a skip vote to everything related to it.

Worth pointing out that a lot of these changes are reasonably small or just copying existing code (number changes, copying LMS Rune Pouch etc.) and pulled largely from suggestions we got sent following the minigame focus on Poll 82, coupled with long-term suggestions we've had from the dedicated Castle Wars community.

Completely appreciate where you're at though, I don't think we're suddenly expecting it to be a thing everybody wants to do all of the time, but making it more of an option for something casual and fun to do with friends from time-to-time, which is something I feel we've lost a little!

Am I the only one who feels saying "on ____ HP" feels grammatically incorrect.

People started using 'on' instead of 'at' quite a bit recently and every time I hear it, it triggers me a little bit. Someone fluent in grammar tell me I'm right or wrong lol

"He's on full HP" "he's on 1 HP"

"He's at full HP" "he's at 1 HP"

Sorry rant over.

Love most of the changes!

I think 'at' is definitely more correct, if we're talking about prescriptive language. But language evolves and if we're talking descriptive language then think it's fine for people to write what's commonly said!

You're not wrong at all though, happens in other games too, interesting observation!

Holy shit that's a big poll! I like many newer players have never been to Castle Wars for any reason other than the bank, and will be skipping all of those as a result. The new player stuff looks cool, and the prayer drain info in particular will be awesome even for more experienced players I think

Absolutely don't think that CWars will suddenly become something everybody's doing all the time, but we had a bunch of suggestions sent over after Poll 82 and figured improving things to make it feel less like just a time and money sink might make it fun to just send a couple of games with pals here and there!

This is long overdue. You're making a lot of irons happy. Ingots have always been an anti-spoon mechanic to the vestige's anti-dry mechanic, and was really annoying.

Glad you're happy! I'm also glad that Mod Rice cooked up something more exciting than the quick-fix GP option we'd initially opted for, pretty elegant solution and still feels thematically appropriate!

You completely ruined Soul Wars with the green portal only. It will not fix Castle Wars. It's dead content and it will stay dead content. Use your resources for other projects.

Think one of the major learnings we're taking from that is still letting people organise their own games on non-themed Worlds, but we could explore alternatives like capping the 'difference' so small groups of pals can still commit to the same team.

D'you have any more context on what exactly you think contributed to the Soul Wars stuff?

Leagues V: Raging Echoes - Issues & Fixes

Comment

Something that wasn't mentioned as needing fixed. Zeah players are unable to do the task to 'brutal' kill Conrad King. As he is already dead due to Kingdom Divided being auto completed.

My bad for blanking this one! This is in the 'later fixes' section because it's not hotfixable unfortunately.

How am I supposed to turn in 50 sq'irk juices at once if you cannot note them?

Comment

The 50 task isn't 'at once', just in total!

fishing/hunter relic working 90% of the time for bird snares

Comment

Think this isn't specific to Leagues but is an unusual behaviour where you can fail if you're stood directly on the trap when a creature enters it. Are you standing on top of your snares when running into failures? Try standing a little bit away and see if you still encounter high fail rates, if so then let me know!
