A further update: Unfortunately the clientscript fix I hoped we could release early isn't hotfixable.

So the Reaper Choice bugfix will unfortunately have to be released in a Monday game update.

Updating my reply accordingly.

That's on me. I didn't include Reaper's Choice in the acceptance criteria for QA to test.

I refactored the requirements code for Reaper tasks while implementing some QoL, which in retrospect was too far out of scope, and I should have requested further testing.

For visibility, an update about the Reaper's Choice bug:

My apologies that I didn't respond sooner. (Was AFK at a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon.)

Thursday EDIT: This morning, Mod Easty magiced a temporary Reaper's Choice interface until we can (hopefully, if it passes RC testing) fix the proper one on Monday. Also Death was hotfixed to no longer assign raids bosses. More info here:...

Thank you very much for compiling the threads on this topic. :)

Full disclosure...I made the mistake that introduced this bug in Reaper's Choice, and I apologise for the inconvenience it has caused you.

EDIT: Unfortunately I was overly optimistic and we cannot hotfix clientscript, only server script, and it's a logic error in the client code that builds that list of reaper tasks.

So unfortunately to fix this Reaper Choice UI bug will require a game update. So I don't think we'll be able to resolve it until Monday at the earliest. :(

I implemented a fix for it yesterday evening. It's awaiting testing.

Assuming it passes QA, and assuming it is hotfixable, it's a temporary fix that'll make all Reaper's Choice bosses available, to minimise the impact.

I started on a more thorough coldfix last night and intend to continue with it today.

Thank you for your patience while I addr...

This sprint we completed testing of a fix I implemented for this.

I'm happy to report the release team yesterday copied it into the next build. The fix might release on Monday if it passes release candidate testing.

I hope the above workaround provides a temporary solution to you in the meantime. :)

Thanks very much for your review!

I've made a note of your feedback in case I get to take another crack at The Restless Ghost in the future. :)

If you do, I'd love to know what you think! :)

I enjoyed this bugfix. Originally it was raised as a mobile dialogue bug in the Restless Ghost conclusion cutscene (it used to use a very old variant of NPC dialogue that didn't play nice with mobile's new NPC dialogue interface).

But there were so many issues with that cutscene after all these years (including a bunch of dependencies on the coffin's previous location), it was better to just start over.

Then I reused some assets that've since become available (the human ghost model from last year's halloween event is proper handy). Alas, had to keep his original hat as even the ghostly lederhosen hat had transparency issues when worn on a semi-transparent head.

Between this and updating the coffin back in 2013ish, when the Lumbridge catacombs got some love due to Blood Pact being the first of Gudrik's paths, and the skeleton warlock in the 2015 skeleton graphical update, Restless Ghost's dangerously cl...

Full disclosure - I deved a fix for this Thu 12th after the first bug report was processed and repro'd, but that's past the mid-week cutoff for release candidate testing builds.

So a fix is in flight, but alas won't be in Monday's patch notes.

Hi there. Following up with you about the issue you raised.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out all your path details above. I was able to copy your exact state thanks to knowing your account name, and recreate the precise circumstances.

It helped me track down and refactor a broader issue with access to optional Burthorpe paths after completing the path to Lumbridge. Seems to resolve your corner case and it's with QA for testing this week.

In the meantime, looks like you've turned off guidance system hints and that's completed this problematic path for you.

Also, we removed the Lumbridge path book in this week's patch notes, so nothing unusual about your account there. :)

I appreciate this doesn't help you since you already went through the first time user experience legit, but all unique rewards from paths can be acquired without needing to complete the paths that present them as rewards.

You can get a dwarven army axe from Major Mary Rancour and baby troll from Corporal Keymans in the Burthorpe imperial guard camp, without needing to complete any content.

It's buried pretty deep, but also this'll toggle Turael's paths to complete and turn off contextual guidance intended for new players:

Settings -> Gameplay -> Interface -> Information Windows -> Untick "Guidance system hints"

Thank you! <3

You can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the people some of the time.

But today you can please Unratedex, and that's good enough for me. ;)

;.;

Please submit a bug report, if you haven't already. :)

Thank you!

On that note, here's a sneak preview... ;)

It's a scripted environment override that mimics the Paterdomus mapsquare (as the environment settings on the Silvarea mapsquare are the current sunny one from the bottom left corner) - so custom skyboxes won't overwrite it as it's already a custom skybox - and the dynamic shadows redraw when you cross the threshold into Paterdomus, but otherwise it appears to be pretty seamless, and quite spooky!

Although, for the case of the helpbutton interface tutorial running when you first open the bank/forge/furnace/shop, completing the interface tutorial flags a variable on your account.

So this will only happen once for that interface if you go all the way to the end of the interface tutorial (ie press OK, or do whatever's required of you at that step).

But if you close the interface before doing so, the interface tutorial will restart the next time you open the interface. Have re-tested them to confirm.

So in this case, while the toggle above will fix it, I'd recommend just powering through and completing the interface tutorial.

Those calls will hopefully also be removed in the next game update (that fix is in the current release candidate build, but I shouldn't promise anything).

<3!

To be honest, I raised this with QA in the episodic content team on the 20th and got approval to help out, but then we both got busy with scheduled projects again.

I'll work late tonight and get it done before it gets buried (appropriately enough!) again.

It was originally twice that, but we received reports that players were getting locked out of content for too long. We've also tried other thresholds over the years.

Unfortunately it's quite a subjective thing. The combat level that's the ideal sweet spot for you may not be so for another player. A player may or may not want to engage in these paths. They may want to come back and do them later.

We considered changing the conditions to be more niche (incorporating quest point checks and so forth). But there's always going to be corner cases to a mandated condition.

Rather than continuing to make that decision for you through conditions outside of your control, we opted to remove the level check and put the power in your hands.

I'm not certain what aspect of double xp you're referring to, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try and see. :)

Unfortunately, no, I cannot promise any compensation.
