I figured there was something client-related in the works, but can't say I expected this much. For some of the features, I am surprised the official versions are so similar to third-party clients and overlays; for things like timers I was expecting them to be better integrated than just floating over the chat. Also, is there an option for the fishing spot indicator without the cyan boxes? Just having the fish icon over the spot may look more natural than the highlight. Either way, with these features being integrated in the game I am sure we'll be able to see a lot more with them in the future and this seems like a great first step/batch.

We considered how they should look and feel, and decided that for the most part it would be best to offer something that players are already familiar with.

They all say milestone 1. Assuming it should be 1-3?

Nope, those are all Milestone 1. We'll talk about Milestones 2 and 3 soon :)

Great that you're working with runelite. Would be great to have some of those features on mobile!

Soon they will be!

Going forward we’ll be expanding the test by bringing these features to the mobile version of the game in the near future.
...
Building all of this directly into the game means most of it will be present on mobile too.

Just gonna say, I sent in my app on 4/17 with everything established, and still haven't heard back. We only had 25 members at the time, so I understand if we were rejected. However, we haven't received any messages stating that we have been rejected. No communication at all, which sorta bummed us out.

What's your Clan Name/RSN? Everybody should have got a message. We can check that.

Can we get the Gielinor Gazette too? What happened to it?

Coming back very soon, and then again on a monthly basis

Yeah. I definitely hope they rework the rest of zeah the way they did Hosidious sometime soon.

On the stream today Mod West was showing off the Shayzien House rework!

Minor, but I feel like "ash scatterer" is kind of a boring name and it just doesn't roll of the tongue like "bone crusher." Maybe it could get some new name like "demonic censer" or something.

What if it didn't scatter them, but instead it cleansed/purified them 'cos they're demonic?
Some sort of Urn, 'cos ashes.

Urn of cleansing/purging/absolution etc etc whatever etc

The Inferno would become slightly harder.

The Inferno would become SIGNIFICANTLY harder* FTFY.

We're talking about a ~20% DPS nerf. The Inferno is already an extremely challenging and punishing minigame. Almost every player finishes their first successful run with basically no brews/restores left. Making people stretch their supplies even further is a horrible idea.

If the Blowpipe is dealing less damage, then monsters are taking longer to die. This would become a problem when reaching TzKal-Zukm, as taking down the Jal-MejJak’s quickly is very beneficial. There were also concerns raised about the increased difficulty of defeating sets of Jal-Xil and Jal-Zek during the TzKal-Zuk phase, and that the triple JalTok-Jads taking longer to kill.

Okay so you guys acknowledge that it is significantly harder. So you'd be willing to nerf the mobs defence & hitpoints so it's roughly the same difficulty, right?

It was suggested that we could reduce the stats of affected creatures accordingly. But again, applying this kind of change across the entire game is something we’d like to avoid.

....Oh

However, we can certainly look case-by-case and adjust bosses and creatures where necessary.

Inferno is a piece of content that MUST be rebalanced around a post-nerf blowpipe. If you do not rebalance, more and more players will turn to the services market and buy their infernal cape via GP or IRL money.

In this blog we've not said how much of a DPS loss it'd be, and the DPS loss against various creatures depends on the creature itself.

Our previous proposals did make it clear that the DPS loss was going to be significant against tanky creatures (like Jads) or when using lower-tier darts.

We did admit in this blog that the previous proposal was so flawed because it was such a drastic DPS loss, and unless you had a T-bow there wasn't really another alternative. The blowpipe would have remained the go-to weapon, but it'd be worse.

This blog has a survey which asks you about how you'd want us to go about filling this DPS-loss void.

The biggest factor for making the Inferno harder is the sets during Zuk where only having a limited time to deal DPS means just barely missing becomes more frequent and matters a lot more - and we may want to look at making tweaks specifically to those situations if necessary.

But we're more interested in just hearing your thoughts about the ...
