New use for AI - have it proofread Goblin's news posts so we can tease him about mistakes
Stuff's effectively always proof-read, just me goofing by saying 'this stuff's been read before and is just copy-pasted' and leaving some artefacts in, loads going on at the moment so a silly mistake on my part!
So, funny question. Let's say 100 people join a game, they all do one "round" of runecrafting and 99 players leave the game. Does it essentially autocomplete?
My understanding is that it'll recalculate its existing % and the charge needed to complete the game dynamically, rather than just ending the game, so you'll probably need to do about the same amount of work yourself (if not a little more since the 20% penalty for players beyond the 20th is no longer a factor).
Also if 100+ people specifically join, the scaling shouldn't decrease below that 100 - so strap in for a long game if you're trying this!
Wait does this mean you don't need to be 85rc to use the colossal pouch? Do you need 85rc to craft it though?
Should be able to craft it with solely the Crafting requirement!
Been looking forward to this, GotR is such a big frustration at the moment on so many levels where this seems to fix all of my checkboxes. Hope it goes Live pretty soon and smoothly!
How long can we expect the beta to be up before the release?
Imagine the beta will run until next week's Game Update and then the maingame release of the changes will depend somewhat on the volume of feedback and how actionably it is!
been putting off my rc training since i knew gotr was getting buffed
It shouldn't feel like a massive buff particularly, mostly just alleviating some frustration. XP/hr should increase slightly with the changes to Barrier repairs even if they're at full HP (assuming you're actually trying to repair them) and with fewer failed games on the mass worlds on average!
Small-team GOTR (particularly in very small scales like duos) should also be a little more reliable off-the-bat which should be a lil boost too!
Morning Goblin
gm beast!
Thank god for a beta..Jokes aside,
The barrier changes will definitely help out with failed games, it felt so bad on current live that you're effectively punished for using them and have to time it right when the barrier takes some damage. Would love to see the lantern getting some use outside of GotR, pouches degrading during normal rc is such a boring mechanic
Assuming things go well are these changes looking to be bundled with the wintertodt ones for one update day?
I think the releases might be offset from each other, since Wintertodt stuff should be more or less ready to go (including changes to include the likes of Redemption in the Warmth system).
Prob worth changing the tutorial on how to use beta worlds, it mentions wintertodt
Ah my bad, thought I'd caught most of those - will get it sorted!
EDIT: it was literally the last line in the whole blog, embarrassing but also no shot you read all of that so quickly :(
Team's been made aware and is looking into this. We think there are other dosages (3- and 2-dose potions) in the bank that are being added to instead via some odd decanting behaviour. Still something we're looking to fix but we don't believe any doses are being lost.
What's happening here is the 1-dose is being deposited, then pulling another 1-dose potion to make a 2-dose potion, which is further down in the bank and not shown in this clip. Your pots are safe (though a little rearranged...), but we'll despaghettify this and look to get it fixed!
Sorry to bug ya but this will be my first leagues. Can you spend reward points on any past cosmetic? I also wasn't a huge fan of the mask theme so if there are other options that would be great:)
Other commenters beat me to it but yeah, always something to go for if you missed a previous League!
Piggy backing off the original comment to suggest a hard mode for barrows down the road? There's been a lot of requests over the years for a pet from there, and thrall recolors now, that I wouldn't mind doing a harder challenge with no chance at pieces but maybe better overall loot and a chance for some uniques like those.
Honestly think there's cool potential there but I'm not sure the team would be likely to look at it particularly soon. I know it's a little 50/50 but RS3's Rise of the Six is really neat in terms of what it tries to do, think there's neat stuff you could do with all 6 of the brothers at once!
Soul reaper axe would be awesome. I’d play leagues to earn that kit alone (even tho I haven’t got the axe yet lmao)
Will absolutely ask the team to keep it in mind for the future, it's such a sick-looking weapon, would love to see what the artists could cook up for a kit
Are leagues better than deadman? I'm looking at joining this for the first time but I don't play a lot maybe a few hour a night! Wondering if it's still worth it or whether you have to be on all the time
You'll definitely be able to make really solid progress even if you're only chipping away at a League. They're not really built around people who are able to play near full-time, often the people putting in loads of hours are min-maxing to compete for points or spinning up alt accounts to try different setups. A few hours a night is more than enough to reach the highest tier of Relics and properly feel that power fantasy imo!
Have you seen the popular reward idea about a spirit tree recolor? And if so, is that something the team is open to potentially adding as a cosmetic reward?
Edit: sorry guys couldn't read the blog at work rip. I accept my downvotes.
Would advise looking at the blog you're replying to!
I mean, get what you're saying where it's not 'bis' like Ancestral is - but Virtus and Venator aren't really like Ahrims in this respect right?
Players do use Virtus regardless of access to Ancestral in both Inferno and ToB...
Obviously just my opinion, and I suspect it's a minority one, but these sorts of 'niche bis' items feel like they should be attached to actual OSRS content - the blowpipe skin from last league not coming from mutagens as another example.
Think we absolutely agree that Virtus still sees use and a cosmetic for it isn't a bad shout. Think where we might diverge is that trying to make something feel like a challenge/rare cosmetic and then only have it apply to something with niche utility might be a tough pill to swallow as opposed to sticking with more 'general purpose' BiS for challenge-based cosmetic kits.
Said it before but didn't see any JMod response, how about some Thrall recolors? Seems like it could fit thematically, a barrows thrall override would be top tier and could incorporate all brothers (a random melee brother for melee thrall)
Team is keen in general on doing Thralls kits, but don't think they're a great fit for something like Leagues where the colour palette is a consistent theme throughout all rewards, since the colouring of Thralls ideally needs to correspond to the Combat Style that they use. So yes, we'll do Thrall recolours at some point, but we don't feel like Leagues is the best spot for it!
Maybe asking too much but I'd love a house theme reward like we got the twisted one
Absolutely something to keep in mind for future Leagues, I think with all the the themes from the Summit coming up it might have been a stretch to fit another kit in because they're significant pieces of work.
can you make the leagues 4 ornate pool not look terrible?
Can absolutely ask the team if they'd be willing to take another look at it, though it'd be a separate thing to this set of rewards in particular - maybe the kind of thing you'd see pop up in a QoL Poll.
I already disliked bulwark and blowpipe recolors coming from leagues rewards when both recolors could've come from their respective content.
Virtus recolor could come from the awakened bosses and it'd make perfect sense
Does it not feel a little out of place to have a recolour dropping from some of the hardest content in the game and expecting those players to not just be using Ancestral, though? The only players capable of reasonably obtaining it will never use it because they're overwhelmingly likely to just have better gear. Curious for thoughts!
