Any chance you could talk to someone higher up, show them these posts, explain why you yourself think it should happen, and ask for time to work on it?
Part of me thinks you’ve already done that, but I might as well ask anyway.
Your intuition is correct and they did listen, I agreed not to reveal the date. Apologies for my silence regarding anything useful on the matter, and thank you for your patience.
/u/ocd4life covered a lot of good points. I will add onto that by saying that we as a core dev team and combat council are a lot better at designing and telegraphing these types of mechanics nowadays. Some older bosses won't be as nuanced, but more recent encounters and future boss fights will have a level of polish that ensures no constantly unfair surprises.
Please continue to raise these concerns at the ninja dojo, here, twitter, forums etc.
We've already recently had meetings to talk about KK and Rax and the more ammunition we have regarding these boss fights, the greater chance of us leveraging time to tend to them. Cheers.
if they came up with silly explanations like these I wouldn't even be upset with inconsistencies"the hay sourced from Falador's farms isn't scary enough" lmao

1) Don't release something this poorly balanced in the first place.
2) When they are released, don't continue to promise a fix and say it's almost done. Tweets such as these:

I've recently been poking our item repair & degrade code. Looking at t92 power armours, making augmented/uncharged/dyed-broken/degraded items partially repairable instead of having to combine armours as a primary method of repair.

Yes, they'll be significantly cheaper to use.

One of the unfortunate downsides of having an open channel of communication about my work and then having my entire work schedule rearranged several times. TAPP has been abolished, and some semblance of a replacement is in the works, but it isn't currently in place.
In hindsight, I'd have preferred that I didn't talk about any of it.
Dont bother and dont be sorry, he has already used every single excuse during the past few years. I remember after the return of the Ninja Dojo he said that they will be working on the armours from now on (previously claiming that the armours were ready and in QA), so looks like he even got rid of the responsibility of doing it himself. Lets just hope someone will fix the armours before the release of Gwd3...
Things don't work the way they used to my friend. Even then, one JMod can't just make large sweeping changes to something and push it directly to a live MMO. There are many stages of development, there are schedules, there are other priorities, there are resource management considerations. How many of those things do you think I have control of?
I've always wanted this update to come out. It hasn't been a simple job, and for the most part it has been outside of my control. To imply that I've been making excuses to avoid doing the work or to imply that I don't care is just straight up insulting.
We JMods live and breathe this game and we are always so excited to release things like this because the gratitude from the players is such a great feeling. I apologise for the length of time it has taken since the changes were first discussed, sometimes it happens that way.
That is so good.
Damn. Grats on your 1x Reinforced dragon bones.

"See you in Gielinor." - Mod Pips
Me: I have Mod Pips as one of the dozens of Mod accounts I have added to my friends list, and have seen him come online precisely 0 times.
Former Mods Shauny, and Lee? Sure. Dozens, hundreds of times. Other mods? Occasionally at least. Does Mod Pips even have a regular account? Not that I know of. Good luck seeing us in Gielinor, when you've never seen Gielinor.
He has a regular account and is (was) maxed.
Cost reduction is coming soon, any additional set effect other than not degrading in elite dungeons has been scrapped for now.
TL;DR
Hahaha, just wait until you get to Stormguard
That's actually exactly where I got the examine from. That image macro already existed back in 2016 :)
Is this a genuine coincidence? Crazy.
So...
I feel for you here.
While you could have taken more time to read through the purchase, I do believe it is terrible UX on our part that all three of the teletabs and the lucky charms have a similar silhouette and shape-design.
I will put a job into the backlog to add a 50% refund of dungeoneering tokens if you decide to destroy the teletabs, in the same manner that Chaotic weaponry does.
u/jagexorion ? did you happen to state it would be worked on by you in february and that there was a specific allocation of time for t92 armours recharge / set effects
Yep, I've asked for time to work on it and it has been granted. Our schedule has been very busy.
I actually added another effect to it within the last 12 months.
Do you happen to have an ETA on when that will go live, /u/JagexOrion?
If I do it right now, and it gets QA'd next week, Monday 27th January.
I'll do it this afternoon.
I'll also adjust it so they go straight into your spirit gem bag if you've got it with you. Small oversight on my part, sorry.
Sweet!
