RuneScape Discussion
- Auto-regenerate will no longer give you a message that it has failed to activate if no adrenaline is available.
- Prevented teleporting using a PoH mounted amulet of glory on F2P worlds.
- Players can now use magic notepaper to note dark bows.
- Artisans' workshop respect enhancer will now consume one charge and double the respect for each 0.25% respect earned when an item is made in the workshop.
- An ore box can now be used on a deposit box, in a similar fashion to a (spirit) gem bag or coal bag, to empty the ore box's contents into your bank without depositing the ore box.
- Options to toggle off getting sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic geodes has been added to the Settings interface.
- In-progress Smithing items can now be used on forges to heat them up instead of displaying the "nothing interesting happens" message.
- Mining crablets no longer depletes stamina, so they can be mined AFK as before. Their hitpoints have been lowered so that a crablet is typically mined in a little under 5 minutes. The XP from mining crablets has been reduced to compensate.
- Players will now receive a unique message when damage reducing items (such as defenders or warpriest armour) proc from environmental damage.
- An issue causing some players to not be able to combine the Death, Law and Blood ethereal leg pieces has been fixed.
- The Divine-o-matic vacuum is now always lost on death.
- Phil and Delphie will have something to say once the post quest content is completed after the new Chef's Assistant quest - they were oddly quiet beforehand.
- Various UI improvements and bugs fixed found after launch of POP interface reskin.
- The icons for Gunpowder and Black Slate have been corrected, previously they had swapped.
- The Captain's Log once again defaults to Ship Status when opened.
- Moved some text on Ship interface (In the voyage information at the bottom).
- Moved the crew information to the right hand side so you can still see resources.
- The crew drop-down is now taller so the information fits better inside the frame.
- Made text boxes bigger on ship parts to improve visibility.
- Moved 3D captains head down 10 pixels on the Crew Roster interface.
- Added a divider line in the voyage frame to separate the name of the voyage from the information.
- Resized the voyage interface down slightly.
- The chance of clues swapping or progressing into the same clue has been significantly reduced. This change has been made with particular thought for those using the Globetrotter outfit.
- Brought summoning pouch & scroll trade-in interface up to standard.
- Scan clue scrolls will now re-open again when leaving a carpet ride.
- Using clue scrolls on Zaida now allows you to downgrade more than one clue scroll at a time, up to the normal cap of 25 clues of the target tier.
- The chance of clues swapping or progressing into the same clue has been significantly reduced. This change has been made with particular thought for those using the Globetrotter outfit.
- GameBlast and double xp weekend
- What is GameBlast and SpecialEffect?
- Jagex’s history of supporting Gameblast and SpecialEffect
- Why is it so important to you?
- DXP and planned events (livestreams etc)
- What is it about the RuneScape community that makes great when it comes to this particular event?
- Accessibility in RuneScape
- Does Jagex have a working guideline on new content being accessible?
- Areas of the game that are great from a visually impaired person view on accessibility. I.e. moveable interface, mouse over text, sound ques in mining and smithing, skyboxes, voiced or audio quests, RuneScape’s browser roots and the current game client, keybinds, RS3 in general ushered in many of these changes and was a huge step for accessibility in RuneScape (and the industry at large)
- Areas that could be improved: quests )making them more accessible by having them read aloud and making sure that if puzzles contain an element of color coordination there is mouseover text that tells what color of you’re looking at. Adjustable font size for text in interface. Sound ques accompanying warnings in chat box.
- RSBANDB’s plans for GameBlast (we can say my stream is an rsbandb thing if you’d like shane and then just host my channel on the rsbandb twitch channel)
Listener Questions and Discussions
Question from Sunset Fish
If Gielinor were to introduce a deities face or symbol onto the gold coins. Who would it be?
Say each region's coins were represented differently but with all currency is still universal of course.
Question from Tyco Elf
Dear RSbandb
The snow here in the Nordic Lands is slowly retreating to the northern regions and with that comes Spring and opportunities. And as we have a special guests here today, I have three questions that I'm interested in hearing your individual thoughts on. It's funny how we as human beings think so differently and one of the reasons why a community can be such an interesting place. So let us turn our attention to the questions:
(1) If you had 30 seconds of full attention from all employees of Jagex, what would you say?
(2) 5 years in the future, name one thing that has changed with yourselves and one thing that hasn't.
(3) Tell us about one of your lessons throughout life.
Thank you for your answers and I hope you enjoy the great work you all bring for us. And to Mod Poerkie: You were awesome at RuneFest! I would have squeezed Shane like a teddybear if he wasn't hiding behind another clan-member when you made your appearance on the stage.
Question from Ty Ler
Hi folks,
First two questions for Mod Poerkie:
1) How did you come to work for Jagex in your current position?
2) What's one cool thing about working at Jagex that the RS3 community probably doesn't know about?
For everyone:
1) What pie-in-the-sky update would you most like to see in RS3 at some point far in its future (e.g., the bank rework, removal of the tick system)? No worries if it's very fanciful ;)
Thanks!
Ty ler
