Can Attuned Crystal Chakrams be finally made augmentable? They were planned to be made augmentable 9 years ago. https://x.com/JagexRowley/status/692308651772624896 I always support being patient and trusting the Jmods, but goddamn 9 years is crazy.

Attuned crystal bows were suppose to have their attack range be 9 when seren godbow got updated from 7 to 9 attack range, can this finally be implemented?

Answered on stream - there's jobs in, i'm happy to do these as a quick job

Can we please see how much dev time it would take to reorganise abilities? Or have a reason as to why they aren't organised from basic to ultimate? It'll look cleaner in terms of interface, and much easier to find abilities when they aren't on a bar.

It's not a big project by any means and something we'd like to do ( especially for organising basic->ultimate) this sort of thing is just often priorities of what has the most impact for time (this example being pretty low impact i think)

Could we also look at adding an ability to the bar without juggling everything? Similar to how the bank works where I can move an item and it shifts everything to the right.

Same thing as above, we'd like to do this as a team, (albeit this one is a longer project) and actionbar improvements in general i think is how we'd word it; but it's a time vs impact scenario (where most players would likely prefer we rework bleeds / ot...

(there's often combat team discussion where we move things around/voice opinions, priorities etc )

BUT my personal top list:

T95/Vanilla gear effects (tect/ezk etc)
DoT rework
Magic/Ranged/Melee core rework (abilties/giving them proper style identities, modernise anims etc)
Core combat balancing (realistically this breaks down into sub issues like, XP / Mob stats / simplifying some combat calculations & stats / tutorialisation etc)

Is there any potential avenue on having the community vote on what issue they want worked on/fixed next for combat?

u/jagexyuey ?

maybe in like 2040

Given the current schedule/team working on CA's right now it's not likely bosses would get changed prior to release.

However internally we don't see adding CA's as a blocker to changing/updating bosses, as we can 'just' change the cheevo/treat it like we would a new boss.

Uhh maybe; i'm, not sure there'd be much value to it even then.

Realistically i'd like us to rework hybrid armor to be good for hybridding

Will Jagex move more of Necromancy's features over to the other combat styles, like the auto-attack ability?

We hope to yeah, but there's quirks to the existing system that some of the high level audience enjoy to min max that we'd hope to cement in proper gameplay before stripping out the current attacks

What does Jagex thinks about the current state of switchscape of the other combat styles. Is it too much? Too little? Just right?

Ultimately I don't mind as long as the general consensus amongst players is that it is fun - we've stripped out some of the more annoying ones like PF/Vigor as the consensus was they're not fun.
I think ultimately i'd word it as it's something we're actively aware of and try to not add switches that are too powerful/mandatory feeling because that leads to unfun gameplay for some players

May Jagex make more bosses where only one combat style is viable...

I think it'd be a mistake to replace them with alchables as it means i just go to the boss with the biggest one / there's a lack of progression there.
My preferred is reducing the discrepancy between standard/greater abilities so the upgrades feel like upgrades but less life or death mandatory items (e.g. Base ricochet having some of greater ricochets single target power, and they greater codex upping the stats of it)

1.Tect/fsoa passive when?
2. Next combat beta possible? Maybe one focusing on bleeds/poison?
3. Potential for prayer book QOL, now that both are relevant in current year perhaps having equivalent prayers swap on action bars when changing books?
4. News on Vorkath TLC?

1. We will be doing it but we don't have a strict timeline yet; that isn't to say it's ages off just that no project has been assigned for us to dedicate our time to

2. I'm hoping so, though i'll likely be personally looking at bleeds in gamejam

3. It's a nice idea yeah i'll raise it

4. IIRC there is time set aside for so...

Were the new slayer monsters designed to be released as stand alone content? If not, why were they released now?

Yeah they were designed to be standalone; the project arose purely from player requests for the necro slayer helm

Will older boss mechanics be looked at for modernization? Particularly, will Vorago be looked at for his loot pile mechanics, the rarity of Vitalis, and low value of Seismics?

At some point potentially, there's nothing scheduled in that i can talk about right now; there's a lot in combat we'd want to modernise; including player/abilities bosses drops etc

I think all 3 of the o.g. styles could do with a revamp to give them core themes through out the style; e.g. magic leans into crit a little but it's not realised to hyper late game. If it leant into it earlier then it'd make upgrading and gameplay smoother and let us do some more interesting stuff in the early/mid game

I'll raise it to the GIM team as i'm not sure/it's out of their wheel house

Nothing cemented in as there's interest shown from the community generally speaking

I'd love minigames/pvp to be revamped to make it enjoyable / interesting - I think PvP struggles specifically with power creep due to damage outweighing tankyness; so I could see PvP needing to lean more into gameplay changes compared to PvM

I think the same can be said for most summoning familiars having little/no use - i think the skill could use a revamp entirely

It's slightly awkward because i feel like it'd end up just being one is meta and the other is ignored; i'd like more group bosses/mechanics in general though.

1: If gamejam is coming up, can Shogun's Arch-Glacor (https://x.com/JagexShogun/status/1674051805951533067) changes be revisited?

I can't speak for the rest of the team, but I wasn't personally planning on hitting them up though I do see the value in it; I'll speak to shogun and see what still needs to be done and if someone can just pick it up

2: Any chance the Croesus offhand arrowtips can be added to the woodcutting/mining nodes in the area? It feels really bad to have sunk over 200 hours into 4 mans without being able to use Deathspores on an iron because of them being locked behind a skilling offhand.

I'd like to remove the effect from the offhands completely - i think they don't need it and locks the item for not much gain; maybe adding them to birds nests or some...

Yo!
I put together the list of prem store stuff this year and looks like i missed the swords accidentally (I assumed they were just part of the armor pack) My bad!
I'll see if we can get them added (if the armour was a valid i see no reason the swords won't be)

I'll check in on the steam stuff again as i can't remember why i black listed them for the time being (I believe they might still be available on steam right now? and so would cause issues with players purchasing in game and on steam at the same time)

Keep it positive though guys, this was my mistake and has nothing to do with Hooli - My apologies

Standard scabs no - new ones yes

Laniakea
Sumona
Morvran
Kuradel

They can be killed under the old 'scabarite' slayer task
Drop rate does improve on task

no task needed to get the item, drop is improved greatly on task though
