i wonder: how often does the gamejam stuffs get implemented to game? since i noticed recently on wiki had a gamejam planned star sprite graphical update pics. https://runescape.wiki/w/Star_sprite which was apparently never implemented to game which would had made these sleepy aliens to modern day.
depends on what it is - smaller QoL bits done in gamejam are much easier+quicker to get out than larger projects (as for star sprite, it is on the release schedule :))
yeah, this interface could definitely use some improvement to actually showing the rewards - I’ve had a job in the seasonal improvements backlog for it since Easter
absolutely no guarantees (as the reward shop system is fairly old, so may be a bigger job than I anticipate), but I’ll take a look at it next game jam which is in november (probably setting myself up here now for weekly mentions on reddit until it’s improved 😅)
Will we find harvey in city of um then? ;)
tempting premise for an easter event!
This is Bunny Sr. who retired all the way back in 2010. So this shouldn't change much.
his death has also already been 'announced' in the blooming burrow - https://runescape.wiki/w/Painting_%28Blooming_Burrow%29
Jack-O-skull lantern!
not very christmassy!
Why does Ramen hate Violet?
quite the opposite! he's very protective of her character, so her involvement would have to be done just right
(he would also love to make a third Violet quest for Halloween/Christmas, so regardless of the veto, I wouldn't want to add Violet to a project he's not working on anyway :))
Bring back old xmas holiday rewards. would love the 2005/2006 rewards
do people feel like re-releasing rewards this old would devalue them?
so far, we've kept 2010 as a cap on how old the re-released rewards have been, but are definitely open to consider releasing even older rewards (if not an exact re-release, could be a remaster, could be a replica variant akin to the duellist's hat so you can still tell them apart from the OGs)
Violet.
i'm afraid Mod Ramen has already vetoed her
Hello! We're starting work on Christmas for this year, and would love to know what changes you guys would like to see in the Christmas Village 🎅
🎄 What quality of life changes would you like to see?
🎄 What new additions would you like to see? This could be rewards, skilling activities, or something else entirely
🎄 What were your favourite and least-favourite parts of Christmas last year?
External link →Is Succession required for the new quest? Adraestia had the same go-anywhere logic so it'd be neat to have two followers at once. Or more if they use the mechanic in later quests.
it isn't required, so in theory you could have all of these guys following you at the same time...
the calendar has a teleport too 👀
We actually did investigate if we could slot Luma's Shooting Star update in with this update but unfortunately it required a fair bit more work and time than we had scheduled for the 110 M&S update.
We'd still love to get it out some day though, maybe Luma will work on it next gamejam :)
:(
Could we possibly have an update on this? ;o
soon(tm) (progress is being made behind the scenes!)
IIRC, during the Easter reveal stream, it was said that Mod Alex likes to add skeletons everywhere he works. Sadly, I didn't find one in the Blooming Burrow.
the blooming burrow one was extremely well hidden & we couldn't find it internally either (Mod Alex had to tell us)!
Is it possible to get the monkey hats (hear/see/speak no evil) & monkey mace from Clawdia, too?
yep :) anything you can get as a drop from the skilling activities can be dropped from clawdia too
Could we learn any info about this pet? Does it follow a drop threshold? Does previous clawdia kc matter? (registered at the lifeguard)
And why do some players' broadcast display kc for the clawdia pet, and others don't?
yes it follows a drop threshold & yes previous KC matters
unsure about the broadcast point though, noticed it myself earlier & will investigate
Dang was really hoping they would remove the heat mechanic, still excited for the hole though.
definitely aware that the heat mechanic being overhauled / removed is one of the biggest requests when it comes to the beach! it's something that we were already discussing internally before y'all gave the same feedback
it was out of scope for QoL this year, but will make sure to bring it up next year (regardless of if the beach is re-ran again, or if it's a new summer hub - if it is a new hub, we'd want to make sure feedback from the beach is of course brought forward and considered in the core design)
Why is a pet from clawdia in the boss pet category? What does it mean for IFB? Why would you do that?
thematically it's a boss pet, so it makes sense to go in there - is just not plugged into any achievements etc. for obvious reasons
if you haven't unlocked clawdie, she won't be visible in the (unfiltered) list after the beach is no longer active
To confirm - the only new items this year are the skeleton warrior override, casual beach outfit, and Clawdia pet right?
yes
For the monkey cape, can we get it from Clawdia?
yes
