Funny you should ask that - I fixed this at the end of last year and it's down to be released on Monday!
Do you have an eta for when thatvwill be live?
No, as with anything it will need to go through QA and then needs to have space in a release - just know it IS coming!
Hey, I did a job earlier today to add a few more items to the group storage whitelist - imcando mattock included. It's a gradual process and we'll continue to add more items over time!
I'm guessing this doesn't apply to the Artificer's measure?
Plugged in gem bag, upgraded gem bag and the Artificer's measure. For the latter, it already worked while equipped so wasn't too bad but made it work from the backpack too in case that's something you're doing.
Hey, this is something we can look into - will definitely make being the porter of porters role a bit easier by allowing them to be noted.
I'm feeling in a good mood so let's do this!
Edit: Done, and now sent to QA!
You can go to the Iron Enclave by travelling through the portal which is located just outside Lumbridge castle.
Can we confirm our group before all players have joined? Some of my group mates won't be on until tonight. Can i start playing with 3/5 players added? Or won't i be able to add the other 2 if i confirm the group now?
Yeah you can add players later - you have up to 7 days to add members and will retain founders status.
Does the "Total Level" journey achievement require every member to reach a specific amount, or is it the total level sum across the entire group? In the video Mod Rsguy says for one of the achievements for journey 0 it requires "a total level of 40 per player." However, the achievement description says "achieve 80 total level across the group." I assume the total is because taking the number of players in the group multiplied by 40, but the wording leads me to believe that one person can gain 80 levels (or whatever amount of levels) to unlock group storage. Is this correct?
What will happen to the completed achievements if a new member joins after some of them are completed? Will group storage access be lost?
Thank you for the clarification. Trying to plan with one of my team members not being able to play for the first few weeks, but want to get them added for founder status.
It's the sum across the whole group - it scaled based on your group size so 40 per player would be 80 for a 2-person group, 120 for a 3-person group etc. So yeah one player can boss out all the levels if they so desired - at some point everyone will need to start pulling their weight however.
If group members change, then achievements will update accordingly but group storage is literally locked behind the most simple of achievements so unless no one else in your group wanted to do Cook's Assistant I can't imagine you'd ever lose access.
Given that we will have competitive GIM. What does the competitive mean? How will the hiscore look like to make it competitive?
Competitive means all progress needs to come from within the group - this means you won't be able to boss with others, you'll need to do 100% damage on enemies etc. Full rules will be displayed in game and there are blogs with more information if you want to read them.
There will be a different page for the Competitive hiscores so will be very clear which is which.
Very hype for this game mode, however, can we get some clarification of whether or not these still will be world 1st broadcasted for group ironman? And if so, does 1 person completing is enough for the broadcast or do all of em have to complete it?
No, these won't trigger again. We opted for new broadcasts to be group related - while I understand the appeal for them I think it helps keep the focus on the groups that are accomplishing awesome things. There's also the practical production side of things where with unlimited time maybe we'd consider but thought we'd invest our time in other places.
Hey, so as others have mentioned you will be able to do Wilderness Flash Events specifically for the above reasons, but you won't get any rewards from them as a CGIM.
The idea is anything that quest, comp, and trim should be available for all CGIM players to obtain. We may have missed something - there's a lot of requirements and there may have been something that slipped through. However, this is something we'd fix ASAP to ensure players can get these items. If you see anything just report as a bug and we'll get right on it!
Thanks for answering, I would like to understand more on the hiscore part. Will it be ranked in terms of combined XP per 2-5 groups like how osrs gim is, or will rs3 will also have hiscore wrt combined XP for a specific skill as well?
Combined XP per group; different hiscores for each group size.
can we look at adding the green arrow indicator from the detonate ability to this as well? the arrow is used at various bosses, such as raids and ed2 for their poison mechanics. it's actually really difficult to see for people with green colour blindness and they are extremely important to be able to see them
Apologies, not understanding completely - do you want the green arrows adding somewhere, or you'd like to be able to recolour the green arrows themselves?
You can also toggle High Contrast Mode more quickly by right-clicking the World Map icon on your minimap.
For the super pro strats, you can also create a keybind for it in the options to quickly toggle at will. When that 007 penguin spawns, go go go!
Would the team consider introducing a one-time opportunity or cooldown for permanent Ironman players to re-affirm their decision to remain perm ironman? After playing for nearly 10 years, I’m finding that the irreversible choice made long ago no longer aligns with how I want to enjoy the game today. A chance to reassess this decision would mean a lot to long-term players like myself. There's many ironmen in this position.
Thanks
Hey, yes anyone who selected this option will have the option to allow them to downgrade from Ironman to a Group Ironman should they choose to. They can also reaffirm their decision to never downgrade once more.
However, it's worth noting that you will only be able to downgrade to a Group Ironman, and never to a main account. This is to keep it in parity with OSRS too.
Is Group Ironman strictly P2P? Or can a group or member contribute on f2p?
Group Ironman members can be free or members; and you can have any mix of players within an individual group.
What actually happens if cgim interact with other players in bosses or activities?
Hey, for the most part we've aimed to restrict the ability to interact with others. For bosses, CGIM will only be able to use private encounters (which we've made free of charge!). For other activities, such as minigames and D&Ds, again largely you will only be able to enter/interact with them as a group - this does mean some minigames will be blocked on launched as there is no way to enter with just your group or they are currently blocked to regular ironmen; however we've tried to make as much content available as possible for launch.
Is it all GIMs that get all the auras, or just CGIMs?
GIM and CGIM will get the auras :)
Will quest reward items such as balmung, sunspear or ancient staff be able to be placed in group storage?
Hey, if quest items are untradeable and haven't been added to the whitelist they cannot be placed in group storage, which cover Balmung and Sunspear. The ancient staff is tradeable which means you'll be able to add to group storage, however you still need to complete Desert Treasure as an individual to equip it.
