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 ...

Read moreHey Sween, when I Agree with "The Toxic Blowpipe should be less effective against mid and high-defence targets." the next question is "Why don't you think the Toxic Blowpipe should be less effective against mid and high-defence targets".
Seems contradictory since I just agreed it should be less effective?
I'll check the survey logic now, thanks for flagging

One of the first questions asked if I agree or disagree with something. I pressed agree and it prompted me next to explain why I disagree. Exact opposite happens when I press disagree.

No problem, happy to help
Should be fixed now, logic was backwards on two Qs. Sorry about that!

The survey is messed up. Upon agreeing that the blowpipe should be less effective against high-defence mobs, it then asks me why I disagree.

Ah shit, here we go again.
Seriously though. The blog is intended to get you all thinking about Ranged combat generally. There's no outlandish proposals this time. And we finish up with a survey which asks how you feel about the ranged meta, the blowpipe, the T-Bow, a couple of buffs (like crystal bow etc).
Read the blog, and whether you hate the proposal (and us), like it, you're unsure, angry, confused etc. Fill the survey!
