Acorn how are you today tho?
I'm really good, thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well too!
Are you guys conducting meetings remotely? And if so, how's it going?
100% remotely via web cameras and mics. It's actually not that bad. I think a lot of us are actually finding working from home to be more productive as there are less distractions overall.
While we are at it, we should also restrict that once a spot has a single player on it, the spot can't be used by another player.
Just had a meeting planning the development and graphics work for Darkmeyer, Sins of the Father Quest, and the Hallowed Sepulchre. It's coming along nicely but there's a lot to it!

I've passed this to the QA team to check. In the meantime can you make sure there isn't any other dialogue with Edmond you might be missing such as "something else" rather than discussing the quest you don't meet the requirements for?
Edit: I've DM'd you on Reddit so we can look into your case further.
u/JagexAcorn Remember when making Underground pass and some other stuff easier was polled because your data analytics people saw people were quitting and it failed massively, and you said you would stop letting them poll stuff? Does this poll question come from the same background?...
If there was data to show this was a massive dropping off point for newer players, it definitely would have been better to pre-face the question in the blog with that data to explain to players why we are polling it. Or if the data was there to provide, it may have been deemed to fall under the "new player experience changes" blog that we put out awhile back which discusses not polling those types of changes (examples of changes we've done includes Adventure Paths, Tutorial Island changes, and Login Screen changes).
I believe the scrum that wanted to poll it had good intentions and genuinely was curious as to what the community had to say about it rather than this being lumped with Underground Pass changes (given the scrum in OSRS that polled this is not the same scrum that polled Underground Pass changes). As far as I'm aware, now that the poll has failed, there are currently no plans to touch that skeleton's combat level and the feedback regarding that particular poll question has...
Read moreThanks for the Reddit invite! Good luck with your future 99s!
Agreed! This still makes shards buyable!
I've spoken to the developers and they feel the same way as what u/BioMasterZap has said in regards to the two poll questions. Hope that clarifies it a bit!
These look so awesome. I love fashionscape so anything new that fits the theme of the game is awesome. Great idea OP, hope the Mods see this.
Edit: /u/JagexAcorn please take a look when you aren’t busy. Thanks.
I do love the idea. Happy to add it to the backlog for a future poll if it's something the developers also like and can do :).
/u/JagexAcorn are you able to fix this typo in the current poll?
I've gone ahead and changed the poll blog question to be buy instead of sell however I don't have permissions to hotfix the in-game poll (I'm also not sure if we can hotfix it while a poll is live). The developers have been made aware of the typo though :). Thanks for flagging!
You'd think they'd at least use a mod name who actually still works at Jagex in the support team.
It's on the trivials to be fixed next update hopefully :)
Let us know if there are any others out there. Happy to flag them to the team :).
Also unrelated, shouldn't ferocious gloves be on the armour category on the attack guide? (instead of weapons)
Hmm it does make sense. I've posed the question to the wider team for their thoughts now.
How you guys doing with everything that's happening? Hope you are safe!
I do miss working with the team in the office but the occasional sound of Mod Ash sipping a cup of tea while we are all voice calling during the update was soothing.
should just make mithril seeds in the standard setup at start.
Happy to bring that feedback and suggestion to the team in our weekly game update reviews.
Quite unrelated to the update — but should we expect a desert expansion and/or Varlamore in the upcoming year(s) of OSRS after Morytania is finished?
That idea is something the OSRS team has discussed but still needs a full design before any development work can be started if we were to do it.
People sent pics of a newsletter email that today would bring the new death mechanics. I guess that was fake news or is it delayed?
The death changes won't be with this update, it looks like we didn't quite align the email with late changes to our release schedule. It'll be coming soon though. When it comes we'll make sure it's clearly sign-posted everywhere. It's a massive change to the game and it's not one we're going to surprise you with.
When is the holiday event coming?
Easter will be hopping into the game this April so get eggcited. I'll see myself out now.
