I achieved my long term goal of 200m in all skills on my Level 3 skiller today! I assure you, J-Mods do play RuneScape and we LOVE IT!

Is this any better?

Nothing set in stone but I’ve been looking at all things ‘Conjures’, and as part of that I whipped together a potential new ability.
‘Conjure Undead Army’ which allows you to call upon a group of spirits.

I’ve added 3 action bars (15->18) and 50 bank spaces with the Necromancy release.
Thanks again for the feedback, it’s much appreciated and helps make our game the best it can be!
Follow up from the Necromancy Q&A livestream.
I mentioned that there are no plans to add more actionbar/s, HOWEVER this doesn’t mean that things can’t change. I will discuss and investigate further.

What are your thoughts on a 'Chanelling' bar?
Combat systems in other games commonly have one and it's something I've been considering, to help with the readability and clarity of channelled abilities in our game.
Video example is a work in progress (i.e ignore the text below).

How would you feel if we considered updating existing bosses to follow a similar scaling system to Raksha? Where the number of players in the instance determines the boss’s HP, and those players all receive a drop.
E.G. 5 player Vindicta - 1m HP awarding everyone loot

A couple of work in progress changes that will go into the next beta:
- Channel bar for better visual clarity
- Melee channeled abilities allow movement within attack range of target
- Channeled abilities can be cast when out of range
A number of other changes under the hood!

What are your thoughts on these 120 Max/Comp/Trim cape concepts? Fun fact; the artist who drew these, also drew the originals in 2011.
DISCLAIMER: I asked the artist if they could mock something up for me in their spare time, there are no plans currently to actually create them.

It would nice to investigate the removal of tele block within most boss encounters as having to die or log out to wipe/restart doesn’t feel good at all (both for the player and in terms of design). It feels even worse in group encounters too.

Andddd it's done! 200m Archaeology achieved and back to having the max XP at level 3!
I had a blast developing this skill and a blast training it. This is definitely a bittersweet moment for me.

Thoughts on a second boss portal that resides in Death's office, where access is earned via boss kill achievements? The portal would have a similar 'attune' feature and the max guild portal would not change. I imagine we'd also want an office teleport on the gem or journal too.

Took a moment between meetings to debug and fix some core action bar issues that caused bad visual clarity or unnecessary noise.
See before and after clips.
1. The ‘Global cooldown’ rotation was showing for things it shouldn’t (e.g bottom row teleports such as ‘War’s Retreat’)

Yesterday I spent some time investigating inventory interactions. With the next update you'll find that inspecting a damaged or restored artefact, and filling or inspecting a soil box will no longer interrupt your current action, allowing you to continue excavating uninterrupted.

Spin up a beta world with 30k hit caps with the new (Necromancy) critical strike values.
What we thinking? Yay or nay?

This morning I made a couple of tweaks to the tetracompass. One to note is that I’ve added an ‘Inspect’ option to each of the pieces so that you can see what is required without the need to run to the workbench!

What blocks you or stops you from starting/defeating certain boss encounters?
- Scared/worried?
- Struggle to stay alive? (explain)
- Can’t handle a certain mechanic?
Tell me!
(This also applies to those who are super experienced too. What is stopping you climbing enrage, etc)

Hopped on to my combat account and picked up 7 Raksha kills with a nice Fleeting Boots split!
In 2021, I want to learn the ins and outs of combat from the players point of view so that I can utilise that knowledge to better my combat designs in the future. Very excited for it!

Seeing all the positive responses to the Sanctum of Rebirth and Hard Mode Nakatra in particular has been wonderful.
However, it’s making me think about what I might do for the next boss I design and develop, but that’s not something I can work on right now. AHHH!

Out of curiosity… if we were to create a reserved area on the buff bar where very specific buffs are contained, what would you expect to see?
See my image for a super quick visual example.
(Aside from this, we should be removing a number of buffs and grouping others together)

Pitched this today and got approval to put something together!
The plan is to replicate Necromancy’s damage potential, critical strike changes and increased hit cap.
Will there be issues? Absolutely. But it’s a great way to get it into your hands for a fun sandbox experience.
Spin up a beta world with 30k hit caps with the new (Necromancy) critical strike values.

What would you like to see from the 4th conjure?
This will round out the 4 basic conjures. After this we have thoughts on conjures that take up more than 1 slot.
E.g. You could have a Skeleton Warrior and a Skeletal Dragon which take up 1 and 3 slots respectively

- War's Retreat (PvM Hub)
- Archaeology
- Penguin Hide & Seek
- Alchemical Hydrix Jewellery
- Elite Construction Outfit
- Raksha, the Shadow Colossus

The removal of the teleport restrictions within boss encounters is the first of many changes we’d like to make as part of our aim to reduce the friction within your day to day endeavours.
Hopefully we can share some other ideas that are in the investigation/approval stages soon.

As the release of Necromancy draws closer, I’m incredibly excited, but equally fearful!
Being a creative is a rollercoaster and no matter how long you’ve been doing it, the feelings are always the same.
It’s these feelings that remind you that you’re right where you belong. 😊

PSA: In tomorrows update you’ll see some much awaited changes to ‘Dive’ targeting.
It’s a little more complex than it may sound, so I have made what improvements we can at the moment.
Dive - Can only target ground
Bladed Dive - Can only target ground, NPCs and players (in PvP)

Thoughts on all bosses having the boss health bar?
Related side thought; the loading animation at the beginning is quite slow and could be sped up or even removed.

With the TzekHaar Front release, we introduced an 'Immune' hitsplat when hitting an NPC for 0 damage.
What do you think? There are plans to roll this out to other boss encounters.

I’ve added a tick for collections that have been completed at least once. The text of a collection name still displays in white if you’ve donated this item to that collection. Hopefully this helps!

While training Archaeology I've thought about the following:
- A 'Charge' option on a worn Grace of the elves
- 'Wear' option on porters to bring up the Grace of the elves charge menu if it's equipped

I would love to spin up all the Seasonal Hiscores again to run indefinitely, allowing you to always have a shot at the unique titles.
There are no plans to do this right now, but I would be interested to know what NEW ideas you might like to see if it was ever on the cards.

131
What are your thoughts on adding a couple of the combat auras to the Garden of War (PvM Hub) shop? We would likely only be able to add a very specific set of them, which would mean that there might not be any that you're after. I imagine some is better than none though, right?

Generally speaking we’d love to make tweaks to some old boss encounters that have dated mechanics. Any you think are worth looking at?
Examples: P2 Vorago; QBD/Nex intro time; RotS tunnel length and/or existence; etc.

During some down time today I looked into the seemingly dead clicks that can happen at the end of channeled abilities if attempting to move. This is quite noticeable with fleeting boots as it’s common for you to try and move with them.
Spotted the issue and sent a fix to QA.

One of the things I worked on today was making it so that you can upgrade your augmented tools (dragon -> crystal and crystal+imcando -> Time and Space).

With all the recent chatter regarding collection log titles, it reminded me that I thought about creating this for 'All boss collection logs'. It's coming up to 2 years now since the release, but I'm still not sure if it's the right time... thoughts?

Ran a whole bunch of Dungeoneering floors last night with players I met in Daemonheim. It was pretty fun!
It reminded me of the old days when it was first released.
Dungeoneering itself doesn't get m/any updates nowadays, but what would you want to see if we were to update it?

After doing a bunch of heavy AoE combat (ED’s and Shattered Worlds), it’s got me thinking about how nice it would be to have some AoE abilities that don’t require a target, but can be cast on a specific tile/area similar to bladed dive and bombs.

88.5% of players who have logged into RuneScape this month use ‘Ability queueing’.
Does that number surprise you? It surprised me!
Knowing this, I definitely want to take some time post Necromancy to fix the existing issues with it and to improve it further.

24h+ have passed since the release of Raksha. I hope you've enjoyed it and thank you for all of your feedback!

Lately I’ve been tuning into RS streams in the evenings to just chill and chat.
Sometimes if the streamer is engaging in content I’ve made such as Raksha, I’ll ask them if they want to duo.
Seeing the positive impact it can have puts a smile on my face.

One of the things I took some time to look into during the Game Jam today was the 'Rapid fire fleeting boots' issue where your character would get locked in place if you lose line of sight to your target.

Nothing too major to share regarding gamejam at the moment, but I did start to look at improving the ‘Dig coordinate’ for treasure trails, as opposed to the yellow arrow. This is for both scan and compass clues.
