Hey Razgriz, would an e-card work for you? We're all working from home at the moment so we wouldn't be able to get in and sign a card together.

Please DM me directly and I'll try to sort something out! :) (Your DMs are turned off I think).

Not sure on those details yet but we'll have them by launch - we'll ensure to update the newspost when we have more details to share!

“Unless you intend to play this game mode competitively (we expect only a small portion of players will)”

Then why even worry about it at all?

We want to try and accomodate as many types of players as possible, which includes those who want to take it to the next level. It's important for us that these types of players feel rewarded for their time invested in the game mode. I think it's a good compromise - I hope you'll agree or at least be cool with it. :)

Can you explain the reasoning/rethink behind the group prestige decision in terms of CoX/ToB etc?

From a Game Design standpoint, this is awful game design. I understand you want groups who have great items to be recognised, but this literally stops a player from doing a piece of content.

Say you have Player A in a group. They are in a Clan with other people and none of the GIM group are online. That person can not do group content with their clan that a normal ironman could, because they will lose their prestige status.

I expect the response to this would be “they can still participate, but they will lose their prestige status, which has no in game effect”, but players value things in online games even if they have no use or value. Champions Cape, Collection Log, Clue drops on an Iron, etc.

The other point is how you decide where to draw the line? CoX/ToB/NM/Raids 3 a...

Hey Zhengyi, technically the group would retain their individual prestige, which also has a cosmetic in this instance, which should be explained in the blog post. I think it's a fair compromise as you'll still be able to see clearly who the original group members are, but thank you so much for your feedback.

I believe the blog just says "certain PvM activities", or something like that

Out of current content, that list includes Nightmare, CoX, ToB and Tombs of Amascut, when it releases. We will be reserving the right to include future bosses that come out but we'll let you know about it, and a warning will also be there to help guide you. :)

Thank you guys for making us aware. We discussed this on Friday with the team and we have investigated ways to prevent griefing methods. There will be another update coming to the blast furnace to fix this - however I can't confirm when as things change. But rest assured it will happen.

We don't have a game update this week so it definitely won't be this week, but we'll get it sorted as quickly as we can.

Dmm Bug report:

Not receiving any slayer xp after completing tarns lair mini quest

Hey! I've heard from Husky this is intentional as it's an instance and xp gain is disabled in instances in Deadman.

Hmm, strange. I'll raise this in our game update review and see if the team can investigate. Thanks :)

Nice updates for the main game! Glad to see your approach on the str pump situation also. These toxic groups need to feel unaccepted by both the players and the game itself or, as we’ve seen with castle wars/lures/corp griefing/duel arena, they’ll never leave.

We saw the post on Reddit and wanted to do something about it. :)

Please note, there was an internal miscommunication so this job is actually planned for next week and not this week. I've updated the newspost to reflect this.The dev work has been done it just needs to go through QA. Sorry about that

Penis pump mafia in shambles

Hey guys, sorry hate to bear bad news. I've just been told this QoL fix didn't make it into this weeks' game update post because some wires were crossed internally. The change has been planned to move to next weeks' game update instead. I'll amend the newspost and I apologise about this!

Good update to combat the pump griefers.

Its a niche training method but (alongside castle wars), there have been a few players that spend every waking moment griefing there.

Hey there! I hate to be the bearer of bad news...I've just heard back from the team that this didn't actually manage to make it into this weeks' release so it's planned actually for next week. Long story short, with everything going on this week, we forgot to communicate internally about this job being moved - it was planned for today when the newspost was being written. I'll amend the newspost shortly. We're still planning for it to get released next week if all goes well. It will go in, the dev work has been done it just needs to go through QA and whatnot.

No worries, tryna reply to a bunch of people cos mods have confirmed this so people don't get disheartened. It definitely bummed out my mates until I joined the call and suggested I read it entirely different as to only affect new joiners.

Tysm! Sorry for any confusion that's our bad ^^
