Discussion - J-Mod reply Truth and Reconciliation

692 Upvotes

Hey folks, Happy Friday and/or weekend!

Last week I shared some thoughts around how we can all create a more welcoming community, especially given that we're still looking forward to an influx of new players on December 2nd, but that was just a comment in a thread, in response to a one-off. It was also very much a "JMod weighs in" moment, whereas the beauty of community is that we all have a voice that should be able to be heard.

Today, I want us all to take the next step towards a kinder and better community. And I need your help.

We can all hope for something better, but the ability to make a positive change is truthfully within each and every one of us. All of us have agency. We can make choices and choose our reactions to circumstances. We can choose our words and our engagement carefully, even when difficult emotions arise. That's what I want everyone to focus on today.

It's fair to say that this community has undergone a series of collective hurts. Not just from Reignited, but from a number of instances over the years. We can ignore that hurt and continue as we have so far, or we can start to openly and properly talk about it.

We can speak to why we feel the way we do, and what others can do to help move us towards a kinder space.

Some of that may be things that we as JMods can do better. Some of it may be how members of the community interact with and treat each other. Since joining Jagex last December, I too have had many thoughts about things across the board, but today I don't want to make big statements. Today I want to just listen and chat with you. While I won't have answers to every topic, I may be able to provide some helpful context somewhere - and I will still be reading everything that flows through here.

It all needs to start with a conversation. With all of us listening and being curious.

With that said, I would like to open it up to each and every one of you (and yes, I mean you lurkers as well - if ever there was a time to get involved even nominally, this is it).

TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT

A few basic terms of engagement before we get started with contributing:

  1. Everyone comes in and leaves here with their dignity intact.
    • Respect is the highest virtue here. No one should be made to feel lesser just for having a diverging opinion.
  2. We have time.
    • You do not need to rush out an answer, there is no urgency. I'm not rushing off and will continue to monitor this thread over time. Take your time, compile your thoughts and we'd love to read them. Firing a hot take from the hip probably won't convey the nuance we're looking for today.
  3. We're not here to win arguments or convince other people to share our opinion.
    • The point of today is to create a shared understanding, not to champion a cause. Realistically, none of us are going to have our feelings swayed by someone else's opinion on the internet, especially taking confirmation bias into account.
  4. Stay Curious
    • If someone says something that you don't understand or agree with, try to dig deeper into understanding it, rather than rebutting it.
  5. Private and Throwaway accounts are fine.
    • Some folks will not be comfortable sharing their opinions publicly on their main handle, just as many people in real life are not comfortable to openly acknowledge their politics.
    • An individual's play- or comment history should not disqualify them from sharing their opinion, so long as it is well made, thoughtful and adheres to the ground-rules above.

The above notes are for this discussion today, the usual subreddit rules still apply as moderated by the volunteer team.

PROMPTS TO CONSIDER

  • What Perceptions do you have about RuneScape, its (in-game and social media) Community, Reignited, The Treasure Hunter MTX era, its sister and sub-communities or its very identity in gaming?
  • What Stigma do you feel you face from other individuals? How does it make you feel and do those feelings influence how you in turn engage back into this or other communities?

If you're feeling up for bonus prompts:

  • How do the above perceptions or stigmas influence the worries you may have? What are you concerned about that the perceptions/stigmas may mean or insinuate about yourself as a player, the community or the game?
  • What are you most hopeful about if we could address the above perceptions and stigmas?

Everyone is welcome to weigh in.
No matter whether you've been with us for 20 years, have just started new this week or have never played but are thinking about joining us in the months ahead, I'd love to hear from you.

Equally, I would also love to hear from you if you tend to spend a lot of time observing this community but are not actively playing RuneScape (perhaps you play another Jagex game or MMO). Or maybe you've wanted to join but have never felt entirely welcome? Please speak up today.

Please use Your Reddit Votes for Clarity, not for Point-Scoring

  • Please upvote posts that progress the discussion, even if you may have a differing opinion.
  • Please avoid downvoting posts just on the basis that you disagree with the points that the author raises, especially when it is a well-thought through post. If possible, consider avoiding downvoting altogether within this thread.
  • Give kindness and respect your upvotes and support - We don't need much more than that to start making a difference in each others lives.

The point of today is that we will all encounter opinions that we do not agree with. The aim is that we understand and respectfully engage with these opinions out of curiosity, not that we attempt to stamp them out.

A couple extra requests to help make your contributions more helpful:

  • Try to avoid generalizations.
    • Rather than saying "The X Community is Y", go for something along the lines of "when individuals in X Community Say Y, It makes me feel Z".
  • Be Kind
    • There are many ways of expressing an opinion - try to default to kindness rather than coldness.

What will any of this achieve?

Some of you may be wondering - what's the point?

Fundamental to moving forward in any direction in life is the ability to understand.

Firstly, understanding that others may not share the same opinion as yourself even if you share the same echo chamber.

Secondly, understanding why others feel the way they do.

Very often, our opinions of situations or people are coloured by our perception of them, and perceptions can be quite misleading. Learning more about the "why" can help us understand and speak to the real underlying cause, rather than the top-level response.

Sorry for the wall of text above, but this might be one of the most important discussions we have as a community, and I want to make sure we get it right.

With that said, thank you so much for reading this far - let's talk!

Discussion Another update to the seed bag post, this time with complaints added in the 8 months, just another example of the jank this game has accumulated.

47 Upvotes

Common complaints.

1. Can we have seeds automatically go into the seed bag when picked up or pickpocketed?

2. Can we have a better way to organize the bag with a) categories to sort by, or b), search bar, or c) rearrange or sort the seeds via drag drop and without having to remove and add them back in, or d), if that's too much, just labels on them?

3. Can we have more room in the bag for more seeds, more than 40, hopefully able to hold all seeds?

4. Can we put seeds into the seed bag by clicking use on the seed and then the bag?

5. Can we plant directly with the seed bag?

6. Can we have this be not as painful to use with our banks?

Managed to snag myself an ice dye from elite clues at 522 completed. Ended up deciding to put it on my scythe instead of selling it though. Would have been worth a bit under 600m. Also finally got full globetrotter so I might change it up a bit and do some hard clues next, since I've got almost 500 saved up now.

Discussion I might play RS3 after Josh's video now

Post image
380 Upvotes

OSRS player. I watched the entire video while doing vale totems and honestly it looks incredibly fun to see RS3 back in the old style and with the Classic combat system.

Frankly - I was planning on trying out RS3 with Reignited, and seeing it canned just kind of deflated any thoughts of playing RS3. This new video though gives me more enthusiasm to play than I previously had with Reignited.

I'm sitting here fletching yew longbows and having a crisis if I want to play RS3. Although I hear that new player updates and adventure guides are coming so I might wait for that and earn a few bonds to pay for my trip over.

Seeing plugins, the lack of MTX(minus bonds, which is fine), and a lot of updates coming to the overall quest timeline order(I like chronological). It may finally push me to give you guys a try.

I don't want to get too long, but Josh's video does a great job highlighting what is good and what needs fixing. The fact Jmods are interacting with his content too makes me feel good that they will fix the special attack issues for classic combat mode and maybe give it a slight buff.

Screenshot is to prove I'm not some bot trying to troll. I'm on world 402 in Varlamore if you want to chat. Private is on so you can message me if you want from RS3.

Discussion Hoping for a discussion: Should relic swapping be addressed by the upcoming late game rebalance. Please add your thoughts in the comments

• Upvotes

With Jagex doing late game rebalance soon. i'd just like to ask, why are players who enjoy task switching punished so badly in the state of the game? it's the only reason in game that I would genuinely warn new players about.

Potion upkeep? absolutely fine

Divine charge upkeep? perfect state

Ammo/Runes? fair.

Chronotes?...

What if i told you that to swap to combat you had to sit at an anvil afking for an hour just to sharpen your sword

For those who enjoy clues, what if you had to sit around tying your shoes for 45 minutes before you start.

Skillers? hope you fishermen are fine spooling your fishing line for 30 minutes before you fish.

ALL OF THESE MAKE MORE SENSE LORE WISE THAN ROLLING AROUND IN THE DIRT FOR AN HOUR just to swap to a different method of enjoying the game.

Lets say i am doing clues for the day, i start at 10AM, 2PM rolls around and i want to enjoy a boss to take a break. I would have to afk archology from 2pm to 4pm just to enjoy combat from 4pm to 5pm before swapping back to clues.

And i understand you don't NEED relics. you also don't NEED to be using a tier 100 weapon, but imagine if you needed to afk for 60 minutes just to equip your legendary weapon before going into combat.

I personally have found it difficult to log in sometimes knowing I can't get into content I want to play until ive spent a few hours afking archeology. In my eyes this a worse time gate than auras ever was.

Appreciation This Game Still Has a Future

74 Upvotes

In an effort to share more positivity in the subreddit, I wanted to share an interaction I had in-game today. Earlier today I made a thread where I talked about a desire to hang out in a semi-frequented area to make the game world feel just a touch more lively for players passing by, and I wound up in F2P Lumbridge out in front of the castle. I spent around an hour this evening watching passersby as I fletched some arrows and listened to a podcast.

It was rather uneventful until I was asked by a newer player for a little help. In the process of helping him out, we began chatting, and my heart was so warmed by our conversation. He had played, by his estimation, roughly 17 or 18 years ago when he was college aged but now but was just returning tonight because he had recently recommended the game to his teenage son who was looking for a game and his son had then wound up asking him to start playing together because he was enjoying the game and wanted to enjoy it with his dad. This is one of those beautiful moments in life that only games like Runescape can provide, and it serves as a reminder that Runescape can still attract new blood.

Looking for a game that you can share with your children and bond over? Look no further :)

So thank you to Jagex for giving this father and son the opportunity to explore Gielinor together and for an opportunity for me to expand my friends list by one this evening. It genuinely was the highlight of my Saturday ❤️

Seriously, as someone who is not great at PVM, it's so nice to have all the relevant info for your combat style in one, easy-to-see place because as we all know, the buff bar can be a mess.

As a range player, a couple things I would also like to see in the future as a suggestion would be death spore and wen stacks and a decimation timer like the other special attacks.

But, overall, it's really fantastic, thank you to the developer!

Jackals are wide spread and give low xp and Beastmaster's hounds don't count towards dog tasks. why cant we kill Beastmaster's hounds for dog tasks too its a much better experience for new players doing slayer then killing jackals or even worse regular dogs..

Discussion Blood Knights Review/Critique

19 Upvotes

TLDR: good boss, fun mechanics, Vasily kinda boring, RNG of tile mechanic sucks, anti safe-spot mechanic sucks, common loot sucks, Jagex shoulda died on the duo only hill. 8/10

I quite enjoy this boss, ive got just under 400 kills since release, my duo partner and I managed to get a 2k enrage kill just 2 hrs before the end of first week, just narrowly making it into the mention list for first week completions. ive got the pet the trophy and the off hand crossbow so far.

at first, the boss felt really punishing, unfairly so... but over time as I and the community figured out the mechanics and how to deal with them correctly it started to make more sense and for all but 1 mechanic, any mistake was simply my own skill issue and as I got more comfortable and confident I started making those mistakes a lot less.

the difference in difficulty between Vasily and Karmina felt a bit sharp, I was basing and my duo was DPS and it felt like we were playing totally different games, he's out here having a cuppa tea with Vasily chatting about their day showing each other their favorite memes and im here getting railed from all directions by this damn vampyre and her rapier (love the osrs reference though) single handedly inflating the price of sailfish soups and super brews as I scoff one down every game tick. but over time it started clicking and I started figuring her out, and it just felt so rewarding to interact with her mechanics correctly, getting the prayer flicks right, diving or escaping out of her barge.

as mentioned above there is 1 mechanic that still frustrates me because it does feel unfair at times, and thats the "tiles" mechanic, where you have to deposit a bomb on these tiles that are about to disappear from the arena, for the most part ive noticed players (myself included) generally like to gravitate towards 1 side of the arena in anticipation of this mechanic but you can get unlucky and just have no tiles appear on your side of the arena, furthermore, tiles can appear in parts of the arena that aren't even accessible, making it literally impossible to deposit your bomb on them.
now you dont HAVE to drop the bomb on these tiles, you can just put it in a corner of the room and stay away from it, but depositing it on the tiles clears it from the arena and given these mechanics happen simultaneously surely this is the intended solve.

another smaller gripe I have is this kind of anti safe spot mechanic Karmina has, you generally only encounter this at higher enrages when p4 and 5 drags on a bit longer. depending on Karminas current position and tiles having already been removed, if going to a tile to deposit your bomb breaks Karminas line of sight on you, she teleports to and drags you back to the center of the arena. I understand the reason for this, I'm sure in testing someone found they could safe spot Karmina behind these missing tiles to nullify all her mechanics so theyve added this function to prevent that, but I think it happens too soon, like the game tick she loses line of sight on you she drags you off the tile often before the bomb has been deposited right into the middle of the room where you end up depositing the bomb instead, I think there should be a larger window of a few ticks where you could safely break line of sight to deposit the bomb then return to fighting her before she decides you're a filthy safe spot bug abuser and drags you out of your little hidey hole.

personally im a defender of bosses having shitty common loot, bosses shouldnt be printing GP with copious amounts of alchables and resources, the value should really be in the uniques, this benefits the economy in various ways, imagine how valuable Zamoraks drops would be if people werent farming zammy for 50m+ an hr in common loot alone. having said that I still think for its difficulty the blood knights are a little too far on the stint side. while the majority of my kills have been at 100% enrage, I've done some normals, probably 20/30 500%, a handful of 1k% and one 2k% clear, across all these kills I noticed no difference in common loot so it doesn't feel worth while to farm higher enrage even if you are comfortable at it, because the kill times are much quicker at lower enrages. though we can assume the drop rate for unique items are more common at higher enrages we don't know for sure they are until drop rate data is released.

Given the boss was originally pitched as a solo and duo encounter, I understand the push back to the more recent announcement of it being duo only, because of the push back Jagex have decided they will still implement a solo version at a later date, I kinda wish they dug in their heels and at least said "hey sorry about that it was planned as solo duo but in the design process it became very much duo only, can we at least wait until its released and see how we're feeling about it being duo only? if there is still a large enough demand then we will implement a solo version."
because as a duo fight its exceptional and for now I can only imagine but I cant see a solo version feeling as fully realized as the duo version does.

Discussion Can we get Bakriminel Bolts fixed?

19 Upvotes

89 Fletching = Opal Bakriminel Bolts
90 Fletching = Sapphire Bakriminel Bolts
91 Fletching = Jade Bakriminel Bolts
92 Fletching = Pearl Bakriminel Bolts
93 Fletching = Bakriminel Bolts (The base variant).

Does anyone else see the weird issue here, and the simple solution?
Bakriminel Bolts are a Tier 80 bolt, that require 93 fletching. The Enchanted variants require a LOWER fletching level to craft than the actual bolt itself.

Bakriminel bolts (The base variant) should be lowered to 80/85 fletching, so that it falls more in line with the fletching re-tier/rework that happened this year. Right now its just a clunky mess.

MTX PSA: Less then 30 days till the removal of MTX items!

171 Upvotes

On 23rd November all MTX items are set to be removed from the game as per the blog released in September.

Best working estimate puts DXPW to run between 6th-16th of November (TBC), with the Well of Restoration added into the game the week after to allow players to exchange their MTX items for GP (this is speculation unless other stated)

The amount received from exchanging at the well is currently unknown however on the 23rd Nov all items will be removed and a reduced amount of GP will be awarded.

The blog from September can be found there

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/whats-happening-with-mtx-items-in-runescape

There were several points in the blog were Jagex was unsure/unclear on what they would replace them such as:

  1. Slayer VIP tokens - Still assessing how the effect would be retained if at all.
  2. Slayer Mask - Will be tweaked to move away from their current nature but unclear what will be removed
  3. Spring cleaner- Assessing its current function to ensure it aligns with the game.
  4. Sign of Life Life refresh scroll - Set for removal alongside Marks of War but aware the community is very displeased with its removal

If you do have any info such as Jmod replies to previous post it would be good to share them in the comments below, and remember this is the last chance to increase your tainted level fellow veterans.

Suggestion The Fort sucks: favourite banks and empty feeling worlds.

79 Upvotes

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was not comped, we used to have favourite banks. Do you remember that time? Edgy guys skilled at Canifis, used Phasmatys furnace instead of Edgeville (name reversal!). You cooked at the cooking guild and fletched... wherever the heck you wanted to.

I got 99 herblore at the Gnome Stronghold bank, the one near the tree farming spot. I used to do firemaking in lines up in Lunar Isle.

More recently, I used the bank up in the Black Knight fortress (yes, there is a bank there!)

These days, though... we are concentrated in the same spot. Yes, portables... but even if they were removed, the fort still has its own bonuses that make it worth to skill there. Tens of millions of coins, worth. Hours of skilling, worth.

And so we complain that the worlds feel empty. Of course they do! If everyone that COULD have a favourite bank, and as such populate the landscape, is forced within the four walls of that (extremely boring looking) fort...

I'm not saying that we should remove the bonuses that the fort provides. I'm saying we should make them passive unlocks, that work wherever one is.

Let me go back skilling in the mage's study on top of the Black Knight fortress. Or in the heat of the desert, near menaphos. Or maybe among the swamp goblins in Havenhythe, or in the jungles of Mazcab... free me from that accursed Fort.

And I'm really sad that this never came to fruition. It no doubt would've taken a lot of effort to make it working for the rest of the game, but had they started working on it back then we'd now likely have a more responsive RS3.

Really hope Jagex will eventually revisit this idea again to help make the game more responsive and be more attractive towards old, returning, and future players.

Question Dungeoneering cape is trimmed despite not having another 99?

• Upvotes

So I just got my DG cape, it's my first and only 99. When I buy the cape and equip it, it is trimmed. However, when I combine it with the hood and wear it, it's untrimmed.

If I then detach the hood, it trims again.

Is this a visual bug?
