I'm going to guess you may not have read the news post today. Have a read over this section and your worries will be gone.

This week the beta continues but with a new version of the line-of-sight algorithm. Now, when a player is not interacting with another player, the existing live algorithm is used, meaning the behaviour in PvM situations will not change. When interacting with other players, the new algorithm will be used. This will prevent one-way safe spots in PVP.

You'll note the changes now only effect PvP which is to specifically fix an issue where 1 player may attack the other without the possibility of retaliation despite looking like retaliation can occur.

I'm currently pressing x to doubt.

Frankly you’ll notice the questions today were all previously answered par 1/2. It’s difficult after doing this nearly 6 years for interesting questions we’re capable of answering - hence the new padding.

As we are not giving the 1st place their prize so the next person to take it out of the 10 spots is the 11th

They contacted us and apologised

We will be contacting the 11th place contestant and having them claim the prize they should have won. We apologise for this.

It definitely does exceed the enjoyment I'd find with a gf.

I didn't choose the single life, the single life chose me. So I chose Old School RuneScape.

Just to be sure.

Huh, that's funny... that's because the item never used to check for the quest completion and we added that fix/check in recently which caused this issue. Thanks for letting us know :)

Fixed for this Thursday, ya darn freeloaders!*

*^{This is a joke. I honestly love you all for everything you allow us to do and wholly can't explain the excitement I have coming into work every day to work on the game I grew up with and love to deliver the best game experience I can for you all <3}

I love it.

Couple of things here:

Firstly, it was never canceled. I just stopped working on it in my spare time.

The Serp helm was nerfed regardless of this quest being made by myself. We returned its strength but not its venom effect as that's what we disliked.

There isn't a gay Fremennik in this quest. Sorry to disappoint.

:eyes:

As you may assume, unintended and to be reverted.

Already seen, though thank you! this is why we do betas :)

Potentially is a strong word, here!

To clarify, our desired outcome is that nothing SHOULD change with the exception of PvP combat and the scenario 1 person can fight without being able to fight back.

That's why we've opened up beta worlds specifically with these changes for you all to browse on as we expect you to come across some things in the main game world we may not have.

Currently in the live game the line of attack between two points is not symmetrical. What this beta does is make that symmetrical. The place where it will effect is PvP where players are able to stand in specific spots in relation to their opponent and not be able to attack back.

...

Yes, they're only activated in beta worlds.

Theoretically, we would desire it to do nothing with existing interactions other than fix the issue where in some player vs player scenarios some people are able to attack while others can't.

It's very possible, however, that some safe spots may have broke in the wider game - or weird interactions like during MM2 and the Sorcerer's garden may have broke etc.
