I know that this is hypothetical, but please stop asking these questions Jagex, you lose further credibility by even asking about them. https://i.imgur.com/eZVUmf2.png

Other than the Ironman conversion question which was incorrectly worded and has now been fixed (we are categorically NOT exploring the option of converting standard accounts to Ironmen), all of these questions are hypotheticals.

What we're attempting to do is understand how players wish they could use Bonds in ways they currently can't, especially given they are the gameplay-earnable path to premium content by design.

There's some examples in there to get people thinking but we expect most suggestions will come through the open entries. None of these pre-filled entries are direct proposals of things we're working on right now.

Can I recommend running both the original proposed changes and the changes you guys have in mind after the feedback and then make a poll, asking the community which one they prefer?

Definitely something we could look at!

Comment

We've talked to the Research Team and confirmed the 'to' wording in the Bonds section about Ironman accounts was a mistake.

This has been updated in the survey - standard accounts being converted to Ironmen is not something being at all considered by the team.

On the newspost here you said this:

Firstly, 'Scapers, you rocked this. Thank you to everyone who provided such constructive, detailed thoughts in response to the changes - the care you put into those responses sparked plenty of conversations on where to go next and some bigger topics beyond (like PvM accessibility through tanking).

With your feedback, we've developed further changes to take on board your comments while still ensuring we do some critical rebalancing to FSOA & Animate Dead. Building on all your great contributions, this time we want to take things one step further by letting you get hands on with this next round of changes for yourself.

On May 4th, we'll be releasing Beta Worlds where you'll be able to test our revised proposed changes to FSOA & Animate Dead. All you'll need to pa...

So this one is on me due to a bit of a crossed wires situation when we were putting together the Development Update - apologies for the confusion. We've updated that Development Update post to be more reflective of where we've landed.

We are going to launch the Beta with the original proposed changes just to verify how people feel when they are put into practice.

If the feedback is similar, we do have some potential next changes ideated out - but for the early phase of the Beta, the team want to get you hands on as is to see if the feedback matches. This also gives the team the opportunity to react to hands-on feedback in case it's slightly different from the on paper responses for the initial tweaks.

The Beta will continue to run to enable us to make changes based on playtesting and get further feedback - things will evolve with feedback as needed.

Gotta say, these dev updates are a very nice and welcome change to the communication to the players! Thank you for the transparancy! <3

u/JagexAzanna not sure if you can comment on this, but is the plan to release these dev updates in a fixed frequency (e.g. every 3 months) or every time you have some noteworthy updates to share? I'm just curious :)

I can speak to this a little.

We've done these three times since Legacy of Zamorak and we do want them to be a little more frequent than they have been. I think our goal is ultimately to get to around the every-three-months mark for these - and maybe even do a BTS style video format that often as well beyond that.

As with a lot of the communication stuff, we're taking improvements one step at a time - so we'll keep improving and hopefully end up at that cadence in the future. :)

How to join the beta world? What is the requirement?

All those details will be on the TWIR on Tuesday (bank holiday on Monday here in the UK).

You'll access it through a link and copy your save file over essentially.

Potentially. We do these more as Development Updates - sometimes they are possible to do almost quarterly, but not always.

There's a desire to get to a place where we can do them in a more consistent fashion, but we're not quite there yet. Our push to be more 'Season' oriented should help with future ones though.

Besides necromancy (which is looking like a fall release at this point) what other exciting content can I look forward to in the future?

We're working on a Roadmap right now (targeting release near the end of the month) that will hopefully answer that question for you - including when you'll first hear about Necromancy!

Are the fsoa nerf and max cash rework still ongoing and not shelved, and the proposed date of release please?

FSOA: Not shelved, still ongoing. We don't have a target release as we've backed off on releasing them early this month based on feedback - we're currently looking at options with Beta servers to test other proposed changes before a final release.

If that's not possible for FSOA this time around, we'll likely have a follow up with our proposed revised changes based on feedback.

Max Cash: As Tkf530 mentioned, that's in the works for release in the next month or so.

We only just added it in fairness to the OP.

They said during the stream they wanted to keep it a secret until release.

We just dropped it in there cause why not. Check it out in the post!

As a note, this won't actually be all worlds - we just received updated information that it's UK Worlds based in London. We'll be adding a World List to this post shortly.

This is now added!

Yeah unfortunately that change got missed in there - we've alerted everyone to make sure we catch it in any future posts and such!

April 10th is a Bank holiday. Are you sure the Slayer update isn't on the 11th?

It is the 11th.

I just thought it means you need tier 1 or higher fort buildings to engage with this new content.

Yeah it means you'll need at least a Tier 1 Fort to get involved in the new content. The fun of having to be super brief on Twitter!

It was officially shelved.

Mod Doom is going to be working on that stream update we've been promising with our Art Team - both to go into detail on why that happened, and also the work that's come out of it.

It's still some weeks away as Doom is still in his early days here, but it's on his hitlist!

Okay but what about necromancy….

Believe me, we all want to talk about it as much as you want to hear about it!

Development wise, it's just that little bit too early to discuss anything as there's still so much work and playtesting going on.

We're going to look at getting a Fort Forinthry Roadmap out in April so you have a better idea of what's coming over the next few months - as we hear you all on sorely wanting that - as we build to the right moment where we can finally talk about Necromancy.

We know there's a lot of concern about when you'll hear about Necromancy (insert 2024 memes here), so just to reiterate something and add a little bit to what's been said before:

  • Necromancy right now is firmly a 2023 release as we announced. There's always a potential for change, but it's something we're very much confident in right now.
  • Our current plans are to talk about Necromancy in the first half of this year. Sorry to have to drop another caveat here, but this is subject...

Wonder if they’re saying there’s going to be more graphic updates or if just those tweaks that already released. Weird wording.

There are more graphical updates on the way - some smaller areas next week, and bigger ones (like Karamja) are in the pipeline!
