It’s next week I believe
Will the Easter event survive Beneath the Cursed Sands?
(A serious question btw. When is the last chance to test that icecream?)
easter's going away next week! hope that helps
Will you check the thread again tomorrow after the quest drops for more questions? Or when is the cut off for lore questions?
Yes I certainly will, feel free to tag me on it too
this thread seems premature given the quest comes out tomorrow
the early bird gets the worm amirite
So my question was askee on stream
Are you taking any measures to ensure that ores/bars as a resource are not devalued? This activity will consume less ores/bars and also reward ore bags, which seems like it would significally reduce the demand for ores/bars.
This is especially odd since Smithing is supposed to sink ore/bars out of the game. Doesn't this go against Smithing's intended design?
And Mod Oasis just kind of stumbled over his words and said some things that did not really answer the question at all.
You also later conveniently decided to skip all other Mining-related questions.It kinda feels like you were actively dodging the concerns about the ore/bar economy and how the new content was self-feeding rather than relying on resources from Mining.
I will ask him to clarify further in the Q&A summary post we're working on (we try to transcribe Q&As where we can). I'm sorry if it felt like we dodged anything, we really only had 30 minutes for the Q&A as it was 'squished in' to the schedule since we missed it last week. We'll also be publishing a V2 of the Giant's Foundry blog so that will be a good discussion place for further questions.
So how much do PoisonedPotion & A Cold One actually know about all the lore and quests that's important to Beneath Cursed Sands? I don't mind having content creators on a Q&A, but it just feels very off for a lore stream to me.
We can find out I guess. They seem great and up for a chat. Just wanted something different this week and some more viewpoints to bounce off but if it doesn’t work we know for next time. Anything you want to know? :)
It's not your fault, but we've very clearly shifted from transparency in the last 3-5 years. The only responses we get now are empty cookie cutter PR statements. It's a dramatic tone shift, but I understand it's what you were hired to do. I find it disheartening.
We will answer and engage where we can, but sometimes there are genuine reasons not to do so and no bad intentions. For example, the developers that regularly appear on live streams on a weekly basis cannot answer questions that should be addressed at a senior leadership level. You can still feel free to ask anything to us but we can't answer stuff like that without the right people. I definitely get the feeling from players that you don't trust most things we say on the surface level. I understand your reasons why and I hope we can work to rebuild that.
It's awfully convenient that last week's Q&A was cancelled, during a time of big backlash against a completely broken and untested update, yet we had a pointless Easter event stream and now a lore stream, two streams in which you can completely avoid questions about the terrible state of Jagex QA.
All I can do is apologise for that, it is really regretful that people get sick and we try to shuffle things around where we can.
Since Beneath Cursed Sands is releasing this week it just makes sense to have a lore stream this week but we can try to get a General Q&A going soon.
I'd love to have a more podcast type stream about the entire QA process, in general, to give you guys more insight into this part of the business.
Hey everyone, we'll be live at 17:00 GMT +1 on Thursday 28th April with a Beneath Cursed Sands (Lore) Q&A on our Twitch Livestream.
This week we're also joined by creators PoisonedPotion and A Cold One to add some more insights to the panel. Please do make them feel included in the discussion by directing some questions their way!
Since this panel specialises in lore, please note that most of the questions being answered will be related to the story and quest side of things.
Ask away! What do you want to know about Beneath Cursed Sands?
P.S - I'm aware of the complaints that we should focus on more general questions like the status of Poll 76 or PvP. I'll ...

Hey everyone, we'll be live at 17:00 GMT +1 with a Giant's Foundry Q&A on our Twitch Livestream.
Please leave us any questions or general topics you'd like us to discuss relating to Giant's Foundry. I can see a lot of the conversation already is about rewards so please do let us know what kinds of things you want us to talk about!
Cheers!
Update - 17:00 GMT +1
Unfortunately, the Giant's Foundry Q&A has been postponed due to staff illness.
Investigations into issues preventing items from being equipped if you are quickly switching to another menu continue.
The team are confident they have found a fix & we hope to share more info s...
Read more External link →Hey there! We didn't get to hold the Guardians of the Rift lore stream last week, so it's been moved to this week!
We can also expand the theme to just 'general lore. So, do you have any lore questions for Mod Ed & Mod Errol? Fire away!
Please ask our lore experts anything you think might be interesting for a discussion on stream!
We'll be live at 5 pm on Twitch this Thursday to answer your questions!
External link →Now I'm worried lol! I'm sure there will be hundreds of submissions. Thank you though, I will be sure to DM you if I don't see an invite :)
Hundreds of submissions from the same person* haha
u/JagexLight Good morning! I completed two registrations. On the first one I forgot to include my Discord, not sure if it was needed. Will submitting two of them somehow disqualify me in any way?
I don't think it'll disqualify you unless there's hundreds of submissions :) DM me though if you experience any issues when we send out the invites!
Super excited to see how this turns out :)
Me too! We'll be using Discord and also Surveys to ensure we get your feedback relayed to the team. I'm also hopeful the additional memory capacity on the new client might help with issues that people experience on the vanilla client.
Post your Questions here for our General Q&A stream!
Joining us this week:
Mod Kirby: Kirby can handle questions about small game suggestions, and can also touch on some topics related to the recent PvP Arena Blog.
Mod Arcane: Arcane would like to talk to you about more in-depth game design stuff. He is currently working on ToA, so feel free to ask ToA questions - but do keep in mind we can't share too much at this stage and we will look to share more in due course. So, feel free to ask and we'll see what we can answer.
Mod Tide: Tide can cover your general game improvement questions, anything about client work also.
We originally were planning for a Guardians of the Rift Lore themed Livestream with Mod Ed & Mod Errol, however, there are some absences in the team which may prevent this happening. Feel free to send us your lore questions but keep in mind that they m...
Read more External link →With the new update to GOTR came the ability to drop your minigame items without the need to destroy. This is a great feature added, however, upon attempting to drop my runes, I have misclicked and dropped my entire stack of gaurdian fragments... twice. Instantly deleted and ruined my match. Any way we could get this option looked at? Maybe to appear on the floor or an option saying, "do you really want to do that?" Just specifically the fragments. I mean who would really drop those anyway? Also, I know my clicks are ass.
I've mentioned this to the devs - it's not hotfixable but we can look into this.
