Love this update! Both the CA points system and the cox change is huge.
Glad to hear it! I'll let the dev team know :D
Im still not convinced sailing will look good as the new skill , i want to see the beta launch change my mind , but the skill just sounds like its gonna be goofy af to train and look at.
We absolutely need your feedback as to why you feel this way as we have loads of room to make changes and improve it based on what you think!
Even if Sailing wasn't your #1 pick, remember to give good feedback so we have the best possible time with the new skill :)
Absolutely this! We want feedback from everyone to make a fantastic skill, especially people who might be open to it following changes. It's a very flexible process which allows us to change course following your feedback. Thank you for encouraging this!
You forgot to poll Sailing vs Shamanism
Shamanism isn't off the table in the future, I promise. Having executive approval to revisit this is quite a big deal. I totally understand the sentiment though because I am a big Shamanism fan too. I hope the reasoning given in the blogs is sufficient and I am really hoping we can create the best skill possible for the community.
so this a real cornerstone of the design.
Just pointing out a minor typo Light, should be "this is a" :)
Thank you so much!
Goodie !
On another note, I've recently made a meme with your face in it, hopefully it wasn't accidentally offensive. If you look at the comments though, you'll see that your work is indeed appreciated by many !
I saw it on my birthday! That was really sweet 🥺… I love you guys so much, thank you for making my work so much fun. I hope I get to work with you for a really long time to come.
During the stream, the team was unsure about the possible scope of sailing / what could or couldn't be done, or what the skill might involve - and mentioned that this would all be discussed during a 'big meeting' the day after the Q&A.
Out of curiosity, why would you schedule this Q&A before rather than after the meeting? Wouldn't conducting the stream afterwards place the team in a better position to answer/discuss some of the questions that came up?
It’s important to maintain a somewhat regular schedule of livestreams so players can at least expect them to happen on a weekly basis. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible to schedule the meeting any sooner (it was an on-site). OSRS livestreams are typically on Mondays or Thursdays so the logistics didn’t work out unfortunately. It won’t be the last stream on this topic so I’m sure we will be talking about it soon. Also, we share our livestream resource with RS3, so we have set days that we go live, and it’s possible to switch those days but we tend to prefer not to if possible.
How long does it take you to make these transcripts ? Thanks for your work !
We have a wonderful outsourced CM team handling this for now and it'll typically take 2 working days to create these. It's important to ensure we do as good of a job as possible to sanity check it for the developers as we don't want to misrepresent anyone. Sometimes mistakes are made but hopefully these help to increase access to information for those who may not be able to tune into our livestreams. Thanks!
How long does the team expect the refinement stage to last for sailing? I know it’s ultimately up to the community to decide, but what are your expectations?
I was out of office the past few days but the team has made a plan of how we're going to handle refinement and I'm back now just catching up! We'll be releasing a blog soon (aiming for this week) that explains what general topics we'll be discussing each week, and a rough timeline of how it will look like over the next 1-2 months. It is largely dependent on so many factors including the community so it's very ballpark for now but we'll share more news ASAP.
it's very unfortunate. I just purchased a new tablet solely for osrs mobile and now the s pen doesn't work properly.
Hey there, sorry to hear this! Can I check if you're using the latest version of the App - 212.3? If so we'll ensure this is looked into!
The s-pen for samsung is not working properly on mobile. Is this something that you have plans on fixing?
Hey there, can you ensure you're using version 212.3? You may need to update the App as the fix should be released. Let me know if not and I'll report back to the team!
Question regarding polling methodology: How are you trying to counteract strategically voting, not for your favourite, but against your least favourite?
How are you trying to counteract strategically voting, not for your favourite, but against your least favourite? by voting for one of those two other ones instead, to not make the other one win. (going with your second favourite instead of your favourite)
Spoiler alert: personally, I would like Taming most, and I'd rather not have sailing and am mildly positive to shamanism and I'm extremely tempted to vote shamanism, as to not have sailing happen.
It’s not something we can avoid unfortunately as we aren’t there with you when you vote! All we can do is be transparent and communicate with the community. I see the community as partners in this and so hopefully no matter what the outcome we can work together to make the best skill. We have taken steps to say in our comms that this doesn’t have to be OSRS’s only skill if more than one is popular. Our current approach will ask you what you think about all three pitches so that we can make a better decision on which is the concept which is widely accepted/liked
How would you describe the difference between a skill and a minigame? (One of the biggest criticisms of sailing is that it looks like a mini-game)
It needs to not be confined in one area of the game, have an integration with existing skills and areas and offer a reason to train it. I’d love to know what aspects of the updated sailing pitch felt mini game-y and hear more from the community about this topic. We tried our best to avoid this with all 3 pitches
What are your thoughts on the skill Inscription?
Love some aspects of it, in general I think the community said one of the main draws of a new skill should be to unlock or to explore new areas of the game which I don’t think the inscription pitch necessarily had.
