Hey everyone!
We've created this space for any discussions around the panels we had at RuneFest. We'll do our best to get this in the eyes of our jmods to share your excitement or ask questions. This isn't a Q&A just to be clear but more of a place to have a chat and share in the excitement of what's to come 🙂
Watch the panel here:

Will they be uploaded on the YouTube channel, Yuey?

Yup. Will share the links to each video on their threads here once they're all live 🙂

For the last question, I was surprised that it was said that there had been no bad feedback regarding seasonal events.
In particular the concern regarding the amount of xp from lamp/bxp stars from christmas paper is one that a lot of players have brought up over the years, including myself.
And to a lesser degree, the balancing on grind needed for parts of the rewards store.

I'm so unbelievably excited for Leagues in RS3, I've been cooking a spreadsheet that highlights all the biggest things in each regions (assuming they are the same as OSRS' regions), and i've been theorycrafting what will be different in the meta and how rs3 difers from osrs.
I've been taking notes of what advice to give OSRS players that are looking to try, I've been documenting what extra responsibilities the 'Sage' should have, and what extra currencies need a modifier (beyond just minigames; crux equal favor, chimes, dung tokens, etc)
Mos importantly, I found a low complexity way to accurately show each quest/area achievement/items/training methods/bosses available in each area, including all recursive requirements
PS: I can 100% share this tool, or even the results with staff if it has any hope of shortening the grunt work for our lovely Jmods (and hopefully allow for less day 1 hotfixes 😛 ) My DMs are open!

Really hoping 'game health updates' includes looking at of the older bank-saving content like PoH storage, bookshelves, and all that, and giving them a nice sprucing up by expanding their lists.
I hope I'm not repeating myself too much, but bank space is a big friction point for a lot of longtime players as more new stuff gets added, and there's a lot of bespoke content designed to save it like the quest chest that just. . . really ought to be more actively maintained, y'know?

For the clan improvements mentioned in the panel, something Mod Shauny looked into (IIRC) but didn't get to was supporting clan broadcasts in guest chats and/or the lobby. I think these could be nice ones to get. 🙂

or actually integrate them from the full "bank rework" scope, like presets pulling and storing back into Diango/POH etc
sonic jungle

These got added to GIM, so probably not even a huge undertaking to port that over to clans
wait different thing... but that would also be a cool addition (especially for smaller clans )
teal sail
GIM is from scratch maybe? while clan would be legacy systems from 2011 ish?
sonic jungle
GIM got a broadcast for like every collection log item, every lvlup, every quest complete etc
dont think that works for lobby etc
sonic jungle
like this
teal sail
yeah I meant that clan broadcasts dont show in the lobby, and dont in game in guest chats
do GIM broadcasts upe?
sonic jungle
Not specifically, but you'd still see anything that would broadcast to clan, like rare drops
teal sail
so they are probs a new system, as regular clan/friends/world/game regularly dupe 🧐
sonic jungle
oh dupe in that way, yeah i think so

Wars retreat refresh: Put an adrenaline crystal and a second wars altar closer to the combat dummies so I can test stuff without having to run around the universe to reset ability cooldowns/regain adrenaline

the prestige quetion was in essence mostly shot down
you get all 110s, then all 120s, and then discussion on whether to do all 130s
so no prestige in next like, 20 years unless something change
umbral verge
In 20 years we’re at 140s for sure
teal sail
prestiging would be so great to redo 1-99/120 with all new content and reworks
instead of needing alts
for me I'd like to do 1-99/120 mining and smithing post-rework from fresh specifically
narrow granite
Is there a transcript, writeup, etc. somewhere?
shadow storm
The idea of 130's being over 2 decades away feels so off the pulse of what's going on within the playerbase.
You have endgame players not even including 5.8 players right now chomping at the bit for more
Idk, I guess it's not about levels but content
If it's about content and we disregard levels/xp
Then it works
But if you ever want players to care about xp, 2 decades is too long.
teal sail
if they raise the cap, I hope it'll be no cap basically like the money pouch
instead of doubling to 400m, or say 1b
that doesn't solve the current "problem" imo and just pushes it away imo
remote forge
They noted in the panel that some people want it and some people really dont want it
I lose interest in getting xp the moment it becomes uncapped
The cap is what makes it worthwhile
So I disagree it is a problem, its a feature not a bug
teal sail
I might lose interest if the cap is raised with a cap NGL
it'd feel like 200Ms are erased and were for nothing idk
remote forge
If it becomes uncapped then I think every xp i've gotten past whatever is the last milestone has been wasted effort
At least with a new cap they'd have been a stepping stone towards whatever is the new cap
teal sail
with a physical XP cap I feel like I need to check it off, without one I wouldn't
I think theres a fair group of 200M players who did it to be freed of DXP etc
sonic jungle
A long while ago Mod Jack was discussed this, and very wisely said that allowing player to get xp above 99 was a mistake to begin with. And further more, letting players get ie. Woodcutting xp beyond 75 when 75 was the highest content in the game was a mistake.
The reasonaning was that a lot of players rushed to 120 as soon as a new 120 was announced, robbing themselves of that new content to begin with.
So eventually if they exceed the 200m cap, surely they will stop players from getting more than the new cap.

GIM is from scratch maybe? while clan would be legacy systems from 2011 ish?
For what it's worth, clans and GIM groups are both built on the same underlying system - so if it can be done for GIM groups, then the same technique is most likely usable for regular clans too
When I was testing something in OSRS recently, I found a bug in the 'create a clan' process - and the GIM group creation process used a copy of the same code, but they'd fixed it there and just hadn't applied the same fix to the clan version
So maybe something like that is the case here too

yeah you see this happening a lot with the new 110s too
people training to 110 before the update to "prepare" for it
kinda makes no sense to me cause why would you go for slower xp when you can wait for the update and get better xp + new method
hard hatch
id rather wait just to see new things
im already over 110 for the next two 110s though
sonic jungle
Capping people to highest existing content makes it so we dont have 200m ppl instantly finishing the content on update morning. Its like protecting them from themselves

it's just a practical question, I'm getting there as fast as I can
we could ship 120 non-virtual all tomorrow (well, give us a couple of weeks maybe) but without the content I think that would be pretty poorly received
hard hatch
do that with combats i promise i wont be mad, well except prayer and summoning
shadow storm

Yeah, that's reasonable putting it like that.

In the panel discussion all the Jmods were confused about the Game Health update question, where the past roadmap was brought up
Granted it's refered to as a Skilling update rather than game health.
Is the "Augmented Runecrafting & Thieving" this update?
shadow storm
I suspect skilling profitability has been retired?
Or shuffled into background content?
As in it's not something that's going to take up the focus of a month.
hard hatch

"game health update" refers to this in the new roadmap I'm pretty sure
sonic jungle
They said it was time scheduled for fixing existing stuff, which I'm really on-board for. Vorkath was named for example
grizzled siren
This is what the blog post for the roadmap said about Game Health
Game Health Updates
Alongside new content, we know you also want to see improvements to your experience with what exists in the game today too.
While we'll continue to prioritise bugs that matter most to you in our regular updates, we'll be focusing one month of our effort on Game Health updates. This provides us a greater opportunity to get to the issues that matter most to you, while also providing vital time that will enable us to deliver some of our biggest content ahead - like Leagues and Havenhythe.

Yeah I just realized I misheard it, my bad 😛, idk why I thought they were referring to past roadmap.
