Last I checked, Elder Overload Golems aren't an iconic boss...

Also, what new portal is there? The anniversary portal, which isn't new, only takes me to War's Retreat.

Totally. That wording doesn't match the final plans and what exists today with the Elder Overload Golems is correct. We can also confirm there's no rotation of those dummies for the buff.

The new portal is the Anniversary Portal - but we've updated it to remove the incorrect information about the Slayer locations & the wording insinuating it's a new portal rather than a new portal destination.

Apologies to anyone who's been left confused this morning. We're working with the team to make sure this doesn't happen for any of the remaining weeks and we're communicating accurate, final information. It's on us to do better.

Hey there Redditors!

Ahead of our next Leads Q&A live stream tomorrow, we're looking for any additional questions on top of those gathered for the December Leads Q&A that was cancelled due to an illness in the team. Drop any questions you have in this thread and we'll feature as many as we can live tomorrow!

They are right next to Ariane - the Elder Overload Golems are today's dummies.

Will ironmen still be eligible for the other perks or were those also not intentional?

Just the Slayer XP buff - the other benefits will remain for Ironman accounts.

if it helps you, the laptop I'm playing runescape on at the moment has the following specs:

Model: Acer Aspire A315-56

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1, 8 threads 1GHz

Graphics Card: Intel UHD Graphics 620

Memory: 8GB RAM

Sometimes while I'm playing, the client will freeze altogether for a couple seconds, and afterwards the background will continue playing while the screen is frozen. At this point i would exit out of the client and then relog again, only to be greeted by a flickering interface, which I've found occurs more frequently based on how much activity is going on in the client. I've encountered this issue on both the standard and steam clients too.

This does help thank you! We might reach out to ask for some more information soon to help our investigation, if you're interested in helping.

Thanks for the feedback and we understand how frustrating this is - it wasn't the intention of anyone here to have information in one place and not another.

This was one of those rare moments where there were some crossed wires purely due to the holiday break - the end result caused two different approaches (weekly reveal and reveal all now) which is why information is in one spot and not the other. Something we'll look to improve in future for sure.

This is unintended and we'll be removing it with our Update this morning, or shortly after, depending on when the fix makes it through QA.

They've progressed a whole bunch since our September stream where we last showcased them - you won't be waiting too long for an update on when to expect them.

Thanks for posting your update in the OP Fishworm117. There was no intended fix this week but knowing it's continuing is helpful. We're working on our investigations at the moment - and again, thank you for the patience on this with how disruptive this is. We're on it.

You’ve been hitting regular all time low quest levels for years and that is even with cutting corners. Modern Jagex does not have the capacity to deliver a multi-part quest series.

We're committed to more Quests this year - the multi-part 20th Anniversary Quests aren't the only ones planned for 2021 either.

We've been delivering on the monthly content promise and we've been substantially growing the team to go even further with the kind of content we can deliver in that schedule. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised this year with what you get.

That was an unintended broadcast that we hotfixed out yesterday. Sorry for the confusion!

But thats exactly what it is. They stretch it out so they can go a whole month or two without any real content. I personally don't need always new content, but rather fixing some of the old content would suffice. One may only wonder why runescape doesn't have any devs anymore. Because it clearly isn't worked on anymore. That's why we're not getting updates or content fixes anymore, they don't have people to work on them.

We've been releasing monthly content updates, which we're continuing into 2021, and the team is growing substantially right now so that we can up our capabilities even more with that monthly drop approach. It's very much the opposite of that. There's more on this here if you're interested: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mod-wardens-wintumber-letter-2020

Thanks for your thoughts on this everyone.

Rest assured, we've got plenty to come to celebrate RuneScape's 20th Anniversary. With an Anniversary this big, the intention is to spend a whole year celebrating rather than just a single day. If you aren't quite feeling the Anniversary spirit yet, there's still plenty to come that will hopefully hit those notes for you.

This event - The Grand Party - is all about celebrating some of the core aspects of RuneScape across January. The nostalgia laden mini-quests this week are all about celebrating the fantastic history of Quests in RuneScape, but in the coming weeks, we'll have different themes that focus on celebrating other parts of the RuneScape experience too.

There'll be some really (!!) juicy bonuses within each 'Celebration' theme that will put the focus on types of content across the game - and take the party spirit well beyond the borders of the Crater. You'll also have the chance to sink your teeth into the...

Is it just a 10% xp boost? Just wondering if there's anything else.

Thanks for those who mentioned this - we've hotfixed that announcement out just now since it was inaccurate. The 10% XP Boost is on all the time in the Crater.

We're working on getting this resolved - we're currently gathering any reports and information for the team to assist in an investigation. Thanks ever so much for your patience while we look into this.

Normally the anniversary capes are tied to your account creation date. Is there a reason why this was changed?

It's a cape for RuneScape's 20th Anniversary rather than a 20 Year Vet Cape. Think of it as an 'I was there!' memento.

Veteran Capes track from Feb 2002 when account creation details started being logged, so there won't be any 20 Year Vet Capes happening this year.

Happy Birthday RuneScape!

Today is just the start of everything RS20 - this will be a month-long event to kick start a year long celebration, both in and out of the game. Lots to celebrate with this much history!

A bunch of us here will be hopping online at 5pm Game Time on World 1 and World 16 to mark RuneScape's 20th Anniversary and make it one to remember. We hope you'll join us!

It'll start after we deploy our Monday Update, which is looking like 11am Game Time today!

Just wanted to hop in and let you know this is very much top of mind and on our radar, especially so after some posts about it just before the Christmas break. We totally get the frustration this causes and we're on it.

For some info - we did roll back these changes while we fix the issues that cropped up, which definitely seems to have helped the majority of people, but clearly this hasn't resolved it for everyone. There's more work that needs to be done.

We're going to get all this info over to the team once most people are back from break to continue helping their investigations. These threads are really great at helping us get things sorted sooner and keeping on top of this, so thank you for posting it - and for your patience with it. We'll do our best to keep you updated on any progress we make.
