Hi, there's currently a bug where this achievement has a prereq of Birthright of the Dwarves instead of Watchtower Quest.

Your achievement is complete having performed the action, and will appear as such once the fix is deployed in the next Monday update.

Sounds like you've not completed the reworked version of Death Plateau.

You can find more comments on this topic over in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/jmn1wm/bug_death_plateau_showing_as_not_completed_for/

I realise you said below that you've completed the reworked version. But the quest system was previously using the variable for the old version of Death Plateau to track whether you'd completed it, which we fixed in today's update, which sounds like it accounts for the discrepancy you're descri...

Good point and thanks for the image! The issue's more with the achievement overview interface, which is packed (and that's a whole other can of worms).

But regardless I think it's fine to omit a Feats progress bar, since by their nature feats are niche optional extras that most players won't care about. (And I think that's reflected in how folks aren't keen on the Feat tally currently counting towards the Completionist category and causing confusion.)

From what we've heard from the Ninja team, it's a bug that the Slayer codex has an extra vyre soul at the bottom of it, and they're intended to remove it. (Consequently the accompanying To Be a Master achievement currently stops at liverworts.)

I agree with D-J-9595's assessment.

I'll investigate 2) after some sleep happens. Thanks!

Thanks very much for your understanding! I love quests too.

On the upside, completing General's Shadow will get you a step closer to Master Quest Cape.

I heartily recommend going for that, and I hope the more granular subcategories make that goal easier to break down.

A requirement for the General's Shadow miniquest accidentally slipped in to the quest cape's requirements.

We have a fix ready to release in the next scheduled game update, but it needs a coldfix, so likely can't release 'til Monday.

If you can't wait, I'd suggest completing General's Shadow to get your quest cape back in the meantime. (There's a good quick guide for it on the wiki.)

Thanks for reporting this! We've already implemented a fix to replace this prereq with Watchtower Quest, ready to release in the next game update.

We aren't able to hotfix changes to configs, so we can't deploy a fix until there is a game update coldfix.

So I'd suggest that if you can't wait until the next Monday update, completing Death Plateau will fix the issue for you in the meantime.

Thank you for this!

Boss pets are currently configured to appear in a Combat->Boss Pets subcategory, so aren't visible at the moment.

We'll reorganise the boss pets so they appear in the relevant Combat-> subcategory.

Several novice quests in Burthorpe and Taverley were reworked in 2012 but still trick the quest system into thinking it's completed if you completed the pre-rework version, with a really nasty exception that doesn't propagate well to external systems (hence the engine-side achievement system is unaware of it and only checks the reworked version of Death Plateau).

We'll work on implementing the branching logic on this achievement to support both in the new achievement system, but in the meantime I'd suggest talking to Commander Denulth in Burthorpe and completing the reworked version of Death Plateau so that the quest is properly complete. (Since the achievement engine is config-driven, we won't able to hotfix this.)

We're restricted in the number of categories we can have due to screen real estate on the overview and player examine screens.

(I had to actually remove the Completionist category from that screen to make room for Lore and Area Tasks. But since Completionist only contains metas (all the actual achievements are distributed to appropriate subcategories elsewhere) and feats (which are extremely niche hidden achievements that only a true completionist is likely to chase), it seemed to be the one we could most afford to lose from the overview screen.)

We're certainly happy to move Feats to another category such as Activities, since it seems to be causing undue confusion.

We could potentially upgrade Feats to a category, with the proviso that we wouldn't be able to display that extra category on the overview and player examine screens.

The cyan quest name in your quest list indicates your active quest to show guidance, like cyan boxes on your map for the current objective areas.

Right click a quest in your quest list and you should have an option to toggle map hints, so you can either set a different quest active or turn the guidance off.

Yep, area tasks = task sets = achievement diaries. They've been renamed a fair few times. :)

And yes, I think the way each area's difficulty tier now has its own subcategory is going to make completing area tasks much easier to manage.

I can't comment on Steam achievements. That's out of my hands. I go into more detail elsewhere in this thread.

Not that I'm aware of.

And you're most welcome. ;)

HYPE Toad intensifies!

MQC meta achievement is still in the Completionist category where you'd expect it. :) Same for max, quest, comp and trim cape meta achievements.

The Completionist->MQC subcategory with over 200 achievements in it has been moved to a Lore category and split up into subcategories for miniquests, lore books, sagas, post-quest content, etc, to break that gigantic scrolling list down into more digestible focused subcategories.

Yep, the Completionist category now only (other than the Feats subcategory*) contains the meta achievements for max, quest, MQC, comp and comp(t) capes.

The reqs for those cape metas are listed in alphabetical order.

Just click a req for the selected cape and it'll jump you to wherever in the system that achievement is located.

So the cape metas are basically an index that'll easily help you find their requirements to complete. :)

*Completionist->Feats is where all the 'hidden' achievements go. Previously these were invisible until you completed them. Now every achievement has a tangible presence in the system, so 'hidden' achievements have generic 'the details of this achievement are hidden' name and description until you complete them. So at least it's clear how many Feats there are. And they're bundled in one place so if you're not into chasing Feats, you can safely ignore them.

Membership is handled similarly to the old system - a prereq that's enabled by default (because the vast majority of achievements are members), and we can make a one-line config change (so not hotfixable) to make it F2P.

Prereqs are more rigidly applied than before to prevent ambiguous property errors - an achievement won't appear as complete if the prereqs aren't met, so we have to be very careful any prereqs are valid when you can complete them.

We copied across the current member data, so this is a great example where there may be existing achievement bugs that still need fixing.

When the project goes live, please do report any achievements that you find you should have complete in F2P, and we'll jump on correcting those prereqs.

Yep, I've seen plenty of lists for more achievements, true trim, etc. Great ideas out there!

I imagine there'll be an achievement bonanza or two in future years to exploit the breathing room we've added, but for now the schedule is planned out and locked in for many months, so we need to work on those assignments to hit deadlines.

Nope, doesn't work like that.

It doesn't make a difference to Steam what achievement system we have in-game.

The only power we have content-side is to send a message to the Steam module to let it know an achievement is complete.

All the Steam achievements are replicated in the Steam module by web systems liaising with Steam admins.

It's therefore unlikely we'd ever add achievements that grow organically and relock as requirements are added, like comp cape or Music Maestro, to Steam.

A game updating weekly that needs that much Steam achievement maintenance would be a real nuisance.

So we carefully picked Steam achievements for the initial release that are static unlocks.

(Mostly - 99 and a Flake will probably be a pain whenever we add a new skill, but at least that doesn't happen very often.)
