You will now get XP from PvP combat. So please spread the word PM all skillers you know before the next warbands and tell them to get their bows with no ammo at the ready.
Thanks and enjoy :)
Hey all,
Following the thread on Friday regarding castle wars sabotaging here I have a few potential and partial solutions for you guys to vote on and to gauge opinions on.
For starters I will outright say I will not be addressing the trim comp req in this thread. While I understand the frustrations and while it is loosely linked to the issue it is not something I want to tackle at this time. If you want to raise this issue, please raise it in another thread.
Secondly, this doesn't involve any fixes for cade sabotaging, while we have had many suggestions I don't believe any solutions have been raised that wouldn't frustrate an effective castle wars player.
Now on to the good bit:
Make world 24 Guthix portal only
While the main world, world 24 is the world that players are most likely go to to play cw for fun. Making the world guthix portal only would reduce team stacking, while not totally irradiating it I believe it would help and would lead to games which are more fun and bala...
Read moreHey all,
The Combat Council would like to talk about some core combat changes coming on Monday. These contain changes to a PvM tactic known as walking and to some items that debuff your enemies defence. Read on to find out what is changing and why.
Walking
For an NPC to attack a player they need to be between their maximum attack range and the square directly adjacent to the player. If the player is stood under the NPC (i.e. on the same square), the NPC needs to move in order to attack the player. Walking is the process of constantly moving under the NPC so that it gets stuck in a state of trying to stand adjacent to the player, thus never attacking.
Walking can detract from the intended difficulty of our top end bosses. Over the years, we've come up with different ways of countering it. In every case, though - be it Vorago’s stomp, Nex’s mad dance or Araxxor’s stun, they are band aids that don't actually fix the original issue. What is worse is that they can trigger when you are ...

Wassup, I do indeed!
Hostilius is sadly not in active development and technically never was as it was a personal project of mine so I wouldn't expect to hear anything on it I'm afraid.
We showed it off as part of a RuneFest talk by the combat council but it was in a section titled "TAPP" and it was what we were playing with in our personal time as we thought attendees would enjoy some behind the scenes info on the council. This is why it was part of a council talk and not part of the main stage "what is coming" talk.
While Hostilius is cool other initiatives have fit in schedules etc better and as such it isn't something we're likely to take on. Things such as the casual/story mode and group size scaling did get folded in to other bosses however which is cool!
I'm very happy that the concept has some hype around it but in the interest of open and honest communication, don't hold your breath for it I'm afraid.
Read moreWow, it's been a while since I've fixed a stall! Let me see what I can do :eyes:
NVM, its different kind of bug, ability reset is not applying if altar asks if you want to switch to normal prayers
Hey,
After looking at the code i'd say at a guess that you're clicking out of the boxes rather than space barring past them. This will cancel any code that runs after the box as you've clicked out.
I'll swap the order of operations so the ability reset happens before the prayer restore call so it isn't prone to click out either way.
Pi
/u/JagexPi With the changes to area loot, if you're trying to chat and press "space" it loots. Could this be changed, A little annoying for spam reasons and looting everything when you don't want to.
Seems to be a bit of an oversight indeed, i'll add it as feedback ty!
Update: https://twitter.com/JagexPi/status/1376531510631743490
Mod Pi was mistaken on that one when he mentioned it on stream - it's with one of the next Ninja Strikes.
I believe the words "don't quote me on it" were said ;)
The update needs a bit more QA but it's still on the way.
Thanks for the response. With the way you called out "you don't have to ask for this anymore", it sounded like it was already crunching through the QA, not still being in active development.
But great to hear it's still aimed at Q1
Ha, no. That comment was in reference to me saying that we wont turn auto-retaliate on for area looting for years as the player moving and closing the interface was too disruptive. It was meant to be a joke around how often i'd get asked it. 99% of the time if I sound like that, it's a joke of some sort.
