Do the crumpled letter from event do anything, or is it just lore?

Nope, not me. :D

At this stage, no, it's just me gathering some ideas and it is in no way a guaranteed content system. There is a thread for suggestions on the forums (and I did link it here) if you want to put ideas up outside of discord (though discord is where there's more feedback from players currently).

But at this stage it's still just a general musing/information gathering stage and not official plans.

Kindred spirits - trans joke in poor taste?

Comment

Originally posted by CutLonzosHair2017

Placating to imagined slights does more harm than good in my opinion. Either way though, not a big deal.

I disagree. There was the chance to make the game experience better for some at literally no cost to any other players (the joke has not been removed, just rejigged).

It cost me a cup of tea, I'm ok with that price.

Thank you for using your time to fix REAL issues with the game

Took about 12 seconds to fix to be fair, hardly even classes as time spent. I was going to make a cup of tea but did this instead.

Ironically checking/replying to these posts took longer. ;)

Kindred spirits - trans joke in poor taste?

Comment

So this isn't a trans joke. I can see where you're coming from with the wording being similar to the meme, but this wasn't the intention.

As I recall the writer of this joke was referencing a subclass of the furry fandom, with scaleys being furries who have avatars that are lizards or dragons or similar, rather than a gender/pronoun choice. So at this point Sliske was hitting on the guard by implying they're part of the furry community, nothing more.

I'll put a job in to tweak the wording, but this was absolutely not intended as a trans joke.

  • An orchestra of ravens making raven noises
  • New decor to remind people of the glory of the raven and how smart they are even as birds

As tempting as this is, it's probably not the way this update should go. Though I may try and sneak a ravensworn easter egg in somewhere. ;)

Not sure if by "no new graphics" you mean the layout of the guild can't change (i.e. it couldn't be made larger).

If that was the case then it kind of limits what could be offered in the max guild to mostly passive benefits, so we'd be talking xp boosts or VoS style boosts to skills. Just offering a flat XP boost to skilling is pretty lame (and not really fitting - none of the other guilds offer xp boosts for skilling).

If the layout of the max guild could be expanded slightly, maybe making it slightly larger in the middle area so you could have 2 skilling stands to the east and west of the banking/ge stand. These could be customisable by the player (like invention machines in the guild), and the player could choose to build (for example) a flatpack bench, an invention bench, maybe even portables-style hotspots via invention components (finally enabling players to make portables without relying on MTX).

It would be nice if there was another skilling porta...

Honestly adjusting the layout is one of the reasons I have limited graphics as a thing. It's unlikely we'd be able to change the floorplan of the guild so i want people thinking about things that wouldn't need that.

Portals is obviously one of the big things I'm looking at. We have some thoughts of skilling portals but I'd really love more ideas from you guys. What would you want portals to do?

I feel like the max guild is fine as it is - does it really need to be amazing? The max cape by itself is already a big reward with its stats and ability to store 3 skillcape perks. Free teleport right next to the bank/GE. The guild will still have a slightly cheaper boss portal. I think maxing is still a worthwhile achievement based on those.

I'd love to know what the jmods currently have for ideas. Maybe give us a better idea on what you're looking for with suggestions.

I'm deliberately not doing this at the moment as it tends to lead and focus the discussion from players exclusively on those suggestions. I want an open discussion so we can get a sense of where the major themes from players are and refine down based on that.

This is just the initial stage of discussion as well. Once we have a clearer plan and design I'll be aiming to bring that to the playerbase to so they can check it meets what they're looking for.

My advice.

Step back. Relax. Breathe.

What do you want out of the game? There's no right or wrong way to play runescape (yes reddit, you heard me, you can still enjoy yourself inefficiently).

Do you want to delve into the stories? Quests are a good way to go, start with the blood pact and then follow your quest list. Quests are a good way to level and they'll teach you about the game and the world quite nicely.

Do you want to focus on PvE? Then get some gear and go do slayer. Murder creatures in droves and work your way up to the giant mole, then from there expand to other bosses. Try your hand at the elite dungeons in story mode first and then you'll be better prepared for the dungeons proper.

Want a more laid back approach? What's your favourite skill? Do you want to craft your own gear? Mining and smithing (have you heard about the mining and smithing update?) has been reworked, so it's now easier and more engaging to dive in. So you ...

The Dragonkin Quest That Never Was

Comment

Any thoughts on a dragonkin quest set between rotm and tww as another poster suggested?

You mean another time jump backwards chronologically?

In principle I'd love to flesh out some of our past storylines. There are tales we could tell within those gaps that we would love to tell. However, this would be really confusing for much more of the playerbase (the 6th age is already such a headache and most people perceive quests as happening chronologically with release dates, for good reason).

Also realistically it's just unlikely. We have the current storylines to finish off and focus on (you'll note most of our updates are narratively tied together at the moment) and I imagine a quest of the scale that would be expected from that gap would be a large quest needing more resources than we can spare.

At this point the dragonkin storylines are not over or forgotten, but they may not play out exactly as expected (there's a lot of headcanon interpretation in OPs post for example) and we need to work out when would be the right time to focus on them. S...

^This.

Yeah sorry to burst any bubble, but my response purely meant from an update point of view. As always I reveal NO information about the story plans other than super vague statements that are ultimately useless... you know, like I always do.

It looks like there's an issue with big boned, if you re-roll to one of the other traits it should work. I'm looking into why big boned isn't working at the moment, but you'll have to bear with me as this isn't code I've worked on myself before and the person who made it isn't here, so I'm unraveling it blind (it's well commented and readable code to be fair, unfortunately I've just not been able to sit down and properly digest it yet).
