If this goes well, I'm hoping to do a follow-up gamejam project focusing on skill requirements in future. (A few skill pure requests slipped into this project due to poor impulse control, but had to stop myself to manage scope.)

I've created a ticket for In Aid of the Myreque's 7 Magic req to ensure it's on the list for the future. :)

Stu, was surprised anyone still remembered that old quest tree i made though i'm curious, why am i "Follow - formerly gamez-x"? As far as i'm aware, i've not changed my name to follow =P

Oh, I do apologise! I mis-assumed gamez-x was a prior handle of the player Follow / 5-x who's a reddit admin here.

In that case, here's my official statement that credit for the quest requirement tree in my dev blog is very much yours!

Also thank you again for your https://www.deviantart.com/gamez-x/art/Runescape-Multiverse-601594844 which I partially utilised in a cosmology presentation at Runefest many years ago.

Greetings, fellow players! We've just posted a developer blog I wrote to contextualise my upcoming gamejam project.

I've also got a preview of the full patch notes below, hopefully releasing on 19th of February.

There's a narrow window today and tomorrow before it's code-frozen for release candidate testing on Monday. So if you foresee any issues with any of these changes, I welcome your discussion in the thread below.

Another Slice of H.A.M.
• No longer requires The Dig Site quest; made some dialogue referring to its earth sciences test conditional
• Now req...

Can you submit a bug fix the F2P Map Labels missing issue? Been a long time, still waiting.

That one's out of my hands as a content developer, alas, as it's an engine bug with how static world map elements are parsed, and new engines release on a relatively infrequent schedule (more monthly than weekly).

Had a poke at our ticketing system to see what's up. Looks to have initially been reported in May, investigated quite extensively (looks like it was quite a tricky issue to isolate) and then a fix developed in September. Given the defect's relative gameplay impact severity, it's flagged as minor priority, so presumably some more critical engine fixes have beaten it to the testing suite a couple times.

Looks like the fix has been QAed and ready to merge since early December. Wasn't included in the most recent (January) client update, so presumably it's waiting for the next full stack (server & client) engine release.

EDIT: Investigated further. It won't be in the next engine (releasing mid Feb), but is scheduled in for the one after that.

Ho...

Sorry to disappoint you, but I submitted a fix to recolour the untextured polys of grizzly/black bears last week. (Slightly too late to go into this week's patch notes.) Enjoy your purple drank bears while you still can!

Also added steel armour to the unicorn stallion familiar, to help distinguish it from other unicorn pets.

Can we quickly take the time gate off the Myreque memorial miniquest and achievement. No need to wait 10 days when I could build them all at once

FWIW, over a few of 2023's gamejams, I did a big cleanup of various quest requirements, which included removing this Memorial to the Myreque timegate and some other adjacent points of questing friction (eg moved the Archaeology collector prompt on some quest NPCs into their dialogue tree).

That gamejam project completed localisation over Christmas, so it's in the pipe and I'm hopeful it'll release in the coming months.

Left click buy all sounds wonderful; would there still need to be a confirm screen in the newer interface, or could that be tied to the buy warning value setting?

Currently on holiday in a different country, so unable to check the codebase to confirm if the confirm screen has a remove option. But as it's a data-driven system, seems theoretically viable to add an option to disable the confirm screen on shops of this type.

First bit sounds directly worse than what we have now; I don't want to say "buy something" and have the game give me a popup going "are you sure?" with no keybind to confirm, even what we have currently (right click to choose to buy all with no confirm) is better than that

And none of those shops let you buy the full stock/all you can afford with left click, you're still force to right click; we're looking for an option to just go I'll take your entire stock with no extra steps

Those options are configurable in the generic reward shop interface. Could make the first option Buy All.

Sounds like that would be the primary use case for this type of shop.

Comment

Just a thought... What if such shops used the same generic front-end interface used by most reward shops nowadays? (Ref. Christmas spirit shop, Waiko reward shop, Treasure Trails reward shop, etc)

I wonder if it might also be time to do away with zero-stock Sell items in most shops, to reduce some UI clutter? I can't see much of a use case for them nowadays (other than the occasional outlier like Summoning training shops) since they became personal stock shops.

Thank you everyone for your insight, I hope you all have a happy Holiday season! I will have the problem fixed next week once I get the minor reset to hitpoints and have xp blocked on hitpoints to prevent further mistakes. u/Jagex_Stu Thank you again!

Lovely! Glad you were able to request a Constitution reset.

When you activate your reset in a week, you'll be able to lower your XP to an input value. So read Nastroth's confirmation carefully to ensure you agree to lower your Constitution XP to the value you want. It's thrown a couple players who mis-read the instructions, and there's a 6 month cooldown before you can request another minor reset to try again.

I tried this and it told me that it is no longer available.

Are you sure you tried the minor skill reset option?

From Nastroth:

Let's talk about skill resets. -> One skill of my choice (minor)

The two (major) resets, that also reset content associated with Constitution & Prayer or Defence, are the ones that are no longer available.

From your screenshot, it looks like, assuming your Constitution XP is below 2,745 XP, and you haven't used a minor reset in the last 6 months, a minor reset would qualify.

Not enough.

Also to confirm for OP - swapping modes doesn't bring back the old behavior (just tested).

I've just implemented a fix to force those "Remove to bank", "Remove to inventory" options onto all the Excaliburs in the bank's worn equipment panel.

Release'll probably roll to January's community hitlist, as we have limited update slots for the remainder of the year, and it can be worked around.

Thanks for raising the issue!

Probably more of an oversight of today's change that made it left-click activate instead of left-click equip. If you change its setting does it allow you to bank it again? Also could be a side effect of the new setting and not something easy to work around.

Tagging /u/jagex_stu as IIRC they were the ones that worked on this (all the recent QOL changes are blurring together but I know Stu had his hand in a few of them so sorry if this wasn't you, Stu)

It's a consequence of you now being able to dynamically flip Excalibur's first two options specifically in the backpack, worn equipment and action bar. The bank replaces "Remove" with "Remove to bank" and won't find it in this case because it's now "Activate" from the bank's perspective.

Can confirm it wasn't patched today, unfortunately...

u/jagex_stu, is there any chance you could pass this on to the team?

Team's aware. A fix was implemented and completed testing 3 days ago. There wasn't room for it in today's game update. (Beyond Wednesday is usually too late to accept any additions to a weekly release candidate, plus this week was jam-packed.) Fix is awaiting a future RC build.

Yes. Deposit all fish worked before today. Now it acts like I need the chest to use that option.

Have cooked up a coldfix for it. (Was due to the upgraded bank chest version of it now having a Load Last Preset option and the priority of the options got a bit confused.)

Mod Easty is also this afternoon investigating a script-only version we might be able to hotfix as an interim.
