Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

I know this thread's a little old but wanted to jump in quick!

First off, have gathered a bunch of suggestions for our big Player Suggestions sheet from here. Too many to comfortably list off here but a handful of fab ones, and a handful that I think are too big in scope or just aren't the right fit, but will chat through with the team regardless.

There are a couple of things in this thread that are already on the books for the Sweep-Up, but it's important to remember that the focus is largely on rebalancing or significant tweaks to improve the feel of existing content without necessarily making massive adjustments to the way people engage with stuff, less-so on small QoL bits or niche changes.

Some of the highlights from this thread that we'll chat more about in the Summer Sweep-Up are:

- Combining Metallic dragons into a single task and adjusting other weightings accordingly. Note that we're not including Chromatic dragons in here since only Blue/Black dragons really matter, and...

will be looking into these rates as part of sweep up!

But i mean if u get one during the event, does it keep the hat forever on? Even not during the event?

No, the hat will come off during non Christmas time and will return during Christmas time

On the demonic gorilla topic, is the prayer switching after 6 successful attacks also removed? It was included in the poll but the wording in todays update doesn’t include that part.

Thanks!

Ello! Sorry it's a day late but I can confirm that we did in fact make that change, it was just missed from the newspost so I've added this text to let everyone know:

"Edit: Alongside the above change we have also removed the “six successful attacks” trigger for Demonic Gorilla's prayer switching. More like Demonic Go-Chilla, am I right guys... guys?"

Is zebak and vork acid also considered? Feels random at times and just straight up spawns on top of you

I believe these both have mechanics that make them avoidable already, albeit they might not be super clear and hard to react to still.

will be doing this in sweep up later this year

Awesome, thank you Maylea :)

For reference the fishing spots were overstaying their welcome in places so we've reverted the change for now.

/u/JagexSarnie Can I just confirm that the fishing spot changes has 0 effect on stationary spots? Just wondering if the code changes have any accidental unwanted effects on fishing pools in the Gauntlet, since they behave slightly weirdly. But in their current form it allows for extra scope when speedrunning, which is nice.

We have only changed fishing spots that run the regular fishing timer. Gauntlet won't be affected.
There might be a few sneaky specialised fishing spots which still have a delay, though.

Fix the text or let us do Kara potion food 1-tick? :))

/u/JagexSarnie the login tip "Did you know? You can eat a Cooked Karambwan, drink a potion and eat another food in the same tick, as long as you do it in that order" is incorrect, hard food is first and karambwan 3rd.

Thanks for raising, we're looking to fix this soon :)

Appreciate you raising, we're having a look into it!

Goading potions are not working on DG's

Thanks for letting us know, we are currently looking into it :)

I like the tips. I knew you could click the HP orb to cure poison but I didn't know you could do that in your bank and it would use items in your bank :O

I think it's pretty nifty - also something I didn't know :O

But hear me out, it would make a lot of players happy if you did. Surely the quality of life is greater than any potential negative side effects?

A single bush already showed us that timeline.

If you've ever scoured the crates in the Tower of Life during the quest, only to be met with the crushing disappointment of finding nothing, you’ll be glad to hear that from now on you’ll always get something from those crates.

Is it a Twisted Bow?

Any ETA on when the Java Client will be officially removed? Latest we heard was early 2025. Thanks.

Can't give any ETA on that I'm afraid, but we'll let you know as soon as we can!

Eta on the stackable clues poll?

Ello ello, you can expect the Stackable Clues blog later today :)

EDIT: Just wanted to apologise and clarify that we're still reviewing the blog, so unfortunately it won't be arriving today, but you will hear about it very soon!

Copy-pasting my response from the last time it got brought up. I do get why it keeps coming up though, it's a mild pain point in the minigame and the necklace just kind of presents itself as a potential solution just by existing.

I'm not opposed to an eternal binding necklace existing as an item, or some variant increasing charges which is where I think the heart of this suggestion is coming from due to the frustrations with using the existing one but I am strongly against it being the amulet of the eye.

I understand the thought process though, this content rewards an amulet item, it's on the log, let's use this item but the rarity of that item was not set for it to be something meta-defining and more of a nice way to tell a little story and to create that exciting experience of getting something strange and rare from the abyssal rift, it also provides a collection log stretch goal. I really am a big fan of being able to include these rare niche rewards without worrying about the s...
