Original Post Below

In case anyone was hoping to see something about a Golden Cape Hunt re-activation, we wanted to let you know these discussions are happening right now, but we haven't been able to confirm any plans in time for this Newspost.

We are currently investigating the possibility of enabling the Golden Cape Hunt again this weekend and hope to confirm whether or not we can do this as soon as possible. The team are very much eager to make this happen in response to your feedback, but with so much going on at the studio - ...

Yeah for sure - one of the feedback points we'll be discussing is also taking into account this happened on a weekend, which might be the only time feasible to chase Shards for some folks.

No need to restart with a Hotfix!

It definitely won't extend beyond 23:59 Game Time tonight - however, we will discuss potentially reactivating it for a period of time if it's feasible with other work going on the studio (as it will require implementation, testing etc).

No promises, but we will absolutely give the feedback on wanting some time returned proper consideration.

We couldn't extend it with a Hotfix without introducing risk. Given it's a Sunday, we felt it best we deploy something safer asap.

We'll be discussing this feedback on Monday and considering options. It may not be feasible to reactivate it (as we'll need a whole new set of changes, plus testing) but we will at least consider it.

We've deployed a hotfix that should make Shards earnable as intended until tonight at 23:59 Game Time. Apologies for the disruption to your Hunt all.

Fix deployed! Go grab those Shards and let us know if you're having any issues.

Update 2: We believe we have a fix and we should be deploying in the near future. We're just working with Platform to get the fix rolled out to all Worlds.

As it's a Sunday, I'd say that's unlikely to happen as part of a fix that would go out today - but it's something we can definitely discuss on Monday with a wider group available (including QA etc).

Update: We've reached the team and we're investigating if a safe fix is possible today.

If not, this will be reviewed on Monday and we'll come back to you with our game plan. We'll also raise concerns we've seen about weekends being your only opportunity to chase these Shards and add that to our considerations if today's fix isn't possible.

Thanks for all the reports on this - sorry to hear it's blocking some of you. We've flagged this issue to the team - not sure when to expect us to be able to make a change, but I'm sure we'll be able to do something.

Thanks so much everyone for sharing your thoughts. We're passing these to the Art Team now specifically to guide potential improvements to the look.

While this thread was specifically to gather feedback for the Art Team, we appreciate a lot of the other feedback that was passed to us in this thread. As Doom mentioned, these points are also being discussed and are an active topic here at the studio.

Overall, whatever the feedback is on, I also want to say a big thank you to so many of you for the constructive approach you took in your responses. As we look to do more of this, having this level of detail and perspective on your thoughts/feelings helps the team immensely. We know that takes time to do, and we do appreciate it!

This isn't used for Necromancy Gear - you've seen the vast majority of the gear in the First Look, barring the T95 stuff which doesn't use this style either.

Would you be able to expand on what is that you dislike about the design? Specific details would help us work on how we can improve it.

Hey 'Scapers -

We've been monitoring your discussions since Parcels of the Dead released yesterday, and we've seen some constructive feedback about some of the design elements of the Soul Dye pop up in your chats.

Whenever we introduce Dyes, we want to make sure they meet the expectations of being a really special thing to have - so the Art Team are keen to hear your feedback to help guide improvements to the existing design and make it even better.

Whether you're happy with the design as it is, or you have things you'd like to see improved, we'd love to hear from you. Drop a comment below with your thoughts, and to best guide the team, please focus on elements of the design they could focus on to level up the look!

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback, we really appreciate it.

UPDATE: 10:40 Game Time, June 21

The meme lives on 😂

You can use it as a training method for Construction. Infinitely rebuilding the Fort Buildings is an alternative to POH or Construction Contracts.

One added detail just to share -

When you get your Tier 3 Cabin built, you automatically have the chance to find Imcando Piece Birds Nests from any Woodcutting source. Speak to Oak for a free one.

If you're hunting down Imcando Pieces, there is bad luck mitigation in place. Every nest you find is getting you closer. Good luck!

Just to confirm - while this gives you a free Imcando hatchet piece, the team confirmed you do not need to speak to Oak for the chance to find Imcando Piece Birds Nests to activate.

Once you have Tier 3, they automatically have a chance to drop through Woodcutting sources. You won't have missed out on any chances if you didn't speak to Oak before seeing this (just in case anyone panics!).

Not this time. We do have a quest for Fort Forinthry coming up next though, called Dead & Buried: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/development-update--necromancy-reveal-date
