Community Road Trip & Patch Week

 

 

This week's all about the RuneScape Road Trip, which kicked off last Friday and is now in full swing. It offers some sweet rewards for RuneScape members – including your own, personal resource dungeon for 30 days! If you haven't already,read the Road Trip news and get stuck in.

 

To run alongside your in-game adventures, the Community Team have made their own Community Road Trip – with awesome prizes, including Cooler Master PC gaming gear!

 

Over the course of the next four weeks, we'll ask you to journey through our forums and social media accounts in search of codes that could spell your victory!

Essentially, you'll need to find these and email them to us at the end of the month. We'll give you new tasks with each week's update news post, and the more codes you get, the more chances you'll have to win:

 

Top Prize

  • Cooler Master headset, mouse and keyboard.
  • Five RS Bonds.
  • Your choice of item from our Merch Store.
Second Prize
  • Cooler Master headset.
  • Two RS Bonds.
  • Your choice of t-shirt from our Merch Store.
For full details of how to enter, and how the prize draws work, read the Community Road Trip forum thread.

 

This Week's Tasks...

 

...are all about the forums, Reddit and Tumblr:

  • Mods Balance and Kalaya have some tasks for you on the Road Trip forums. Go!
  • Look out for the RS Subreddit's team of mods. They have style, flair...and the key to one of this week's codes.
  • We'll be reblogging some great content from our community on Tumblr. Check the hashtag on these posts to get the code.
Remember to check back each week in May to find out more, and keep hunting down those codes!


Patch Week

 

While you're enjoying the Road Trip, we're focusing on fixes, patches and smaller tweaks to make your Scaping more convenient and fun.

 

This includes a graphical update to the player-owned house costume room interface, courtesy of our sartorially savvy Ninja Team. Everything's clearly laid out, so items you don't own are greyed out, items you have stored are coloured as normal, and items you have out in your inventory are outlined.

 

Legacy fans will be pleased to hear that WASD camera controls have been re-enabled in Legacy Mode.

 

There's a ton of other changes coming into play today, too. For further details of this week's updates, read the full patch notes on the forums.


Solomon's Store – Extra Action Bars

 

The latest convenience upgrade on offer at Solomon's Store is extra action bars.

 

There are five available, and each ups your total number of available action bars, up to a maximum of 10. It's ideal if you like having the perfect setup for every occasion, immediately to hand.

 

The first of the extra actions bars is free for all RuneScape members – it'll be added for you when you next log in.

 

Visit Solomon's Store and pick up your extra action bars now – or right-click on the action bar arrows in-game!

 

Need more RuneCoins? You can redeem Bonds in-game, or purchase more via the website.


Have Fun!

 

Enjoy the Road Trip, and look out for the next of our freshly beta-baked updates next week!

1 bar each for Melee/Range/Mage, 1 for shield abilities (First 5 slots for w/e style I'm using, 10 seconds to swap out the abilities) 1 for skilling.

Guess I can use the 6th bar for extra skilling/overflow stuff.

No reason at all to buy more, even though it's well within the limits of what I can afford. These should have been free, but I guess money is money. >_>

8 bars, 1 for dropping shit from each clan while Priff PPing

Ofc

9. DG bar for those who loldg in 2k15.

 

But really though, in my opinion, more than 6 bars are needed, and they should be free. 5 was never enough ever since we got EoC.

“I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Honestly action bars are the type of thing that should be a micro transaction compared to say spring cleaner and silver hawks

Yes, because that's a totally honest description of what's happening here. Oh wait, it isn't.

 

People are upset that basic features (bank presets, action bars, bank space) are for sale. Rather than only cosmetic stuff, which was Jagex's original pitch for MTX stuff.

Okay then, selling action bars...sure <_<. Props to them for getting rid of pets in the Lumbridge Crater as promised, but I guess there's no real update this week aside from a glorified social media competition. I didn't even know RuneScape did Tumblr.

I see a head in there - it kind of blends in but it's there. I'd almost say cute...

Purely for convenience sake I have wanted an action bar for each style dual-wield, 2H, and shield. Not that I even use all 3 styles often or in all variants though, lol. I don't see myself buying new ones at the moment.

 

The Lava outfit looks pretty sweet, and I'm actually glad they're putting all the pieces out there. Any mention of a cape? Maybe I'm only excited because I did get Gold members... lol...

 

The only real patch update I care about as far as I've read concerns the changes to auras.

Does anyone have Berserker Aura here? I've always wondered about it, but lost interest when I heard the stats reset quickly.

Also, this line:

• The Make-X interface will now account for items players have in their Legendary pet beast of burden inventory. 

 

Got my hopes up so high, however:
