Hi, back here with a a quick update! Positive news is that we've worked out a more player-friendly solution where we think we can change it so that the is transparent until it's highlighted. In CM we've recommended this as the best compromise and we have passed that feedback on. In next week's game update newspost we hope to update you officially on it.

Okay so going into the "technical" reasons a bit more:

Each part of the fairy ring is a different "ground location" (9 in total) then there is an extra location in the middle which is what you click on. If all of those had "ops", the ops from various ring parts would stack up in the minimenu. During the game-jam we tried solutions and they didn't look nice when highlighted - so the number of ops in the minimenu was definitely an issue!

Fairy Rings are also "multi-location" with as many possible states as there are fairy ring destinations! The same click location is used for every fairy ring, as it has n...

I think the problem is with the Fairy Rings themselves, as I’m aware about the Agility click boxes being OK. I will ask for a more detailed explanation tomorrow on this. I think the thing that I really want to explain is we are not trying to create more work for ourselves with this change or make things more complicated than it needs to be. if the solution was as simple as just making the clickbox bigger we likely would’ve preferred doing that without making any graphical changes.

Also Will pass your feedback on. Thank you for engaging with me on this. :)

I’ll try to get more context on this tomorrow. The thing that I have learned with these types of technical issues is that nothing is ever “impossible” if you have the time but something can be so annoying to fix and take so many hours worth of dev or engine time that it becomes way too expensive to justify the time cost vs the added benefit. I believe this is that type of situation. And then when you compare it to what that time could have been spent on like updates etc that is where we prioritise the “bigger” things.

Thank you! I will make sure to ask - I don’t know the technical reason well enough to comment on whether a transparent* beam would work but I’ll try to find out.

I just wanted to chime in just now because I noticed a lot of people think we aren’t being truthful with our explanation. It just seems that the technical blocker hasn’t really been explained well enough by me.

So I will make sure to get a better understanding and feedback to you if possible after speaking with the team. :)

Hey all! I want to jump in and quickly say there is a genuine technical reason why we went with a graphical change as we can’t just increase the size of the click boxes without a lot of technical work, so the easiest and most feasible solution for helping mobile users was to add a graphical element.

We don’t take graphical changes lightly so we are looking open to feedback on it. But in this case it is really important for us to make improvements which benefit accessibility for players.

I realise there’s a lot of misconceptions about this topic because it seems on surface value very simple to solve. I haven’t been able to explain the issue well enough and so perhaps need to give more information about how complex this actually is. From what I understand it’s a very complicated technical limitation we have and explaining the reasons why we are not able to increase their clickbox is really hard! Some of the devs can sometimes even find it difficult to deci...

Hey everyone,

Our livestream tomorrow will be a Q&A with the OSRS Community Management team (Mod Ayiza, Sarnie, Goblin & me) AND Mod Sween, who recently rejoined us as a Senior Marketing Manager!

The stream will start at 17:00 GMT tomorrow on our Twitch channel.

We're really interested in answering any questions related to OSRS Community Management or Marketing, for example, any queries you might have relating to the new polling system or how we handle your feedback in Community Management, what approach we're taking with Marketing, etc.

...Also, if you have any questions for Mod Sween, the CM team is more than happy to do a little interview with our former manager ;)

Would love to hear your questions for the team so please drop them here. Thanks!

Hey sean welcome to the community. It's today at 11.30am GMT, so you should be able to log in now and enjoy the event.

Hey, thanks for giving me more information about it. I don't know whether this is a bug just yet until I've spoken with dev. If it's unavoidable damage that seems like a bug, unless there are ways to play around it. I'll make sure this is brought up with the team to discuss.

amended! thanks.

merry christmas!!

This has been corrected! Apparently the place where you die in a raid and become a ghost is called purgatory lol
