Sylpheed

Man, this is like the release of Construction all over again, except this time, the skill in question is EVEN MORE arbitrary in usefulness and training methods. I'm sure there's some useful perks to be had amid the sea of garbage ones Jagex have made, but unlocking them just isn't worth the time/resource/monetary investment. A chimp with no knowledge of RuneScape's economy would have better balanced the catastrophe that is this poor attempt at an item sink.

Bah, I was too late again - these have all been used. Don't suppose anyone still has a spare they can PM me?

I am pretty sure that has been said for 12-13 years now, and the game is still going - with existing and incoming players.(Of course, at some point someone will be right when they "foresee" the doomsday of RS.) Decline doesn't necessarily mean they think the game is on Death's doorstep. I'm sure RuneScape will keep going for a few years yet, but there's no denying the player base and content quality has declined sharply.

It's inevitably what happens in a game (that Andrew Gower himself said) that was never intended to last this long. Even going back 5 or 6 years, the cracks were starting to show. You can build and build on top of a poorly-built foundation, but all you're left with is a Jenga tower that's in very real danger of collapsing. RuneScape now is just bloated with features that exist purely to extend the life of the game for as long as possible - however long that will be is anyone's guess. I'd really, really love them to start wrapping up all the major, unfinished quest lines now and start working on a proper sequel to RS3. Hell, they even have the perfect out with the Elder Gods. What better way to make a RuneScape 4 than having the entire universe start anew.

Whatever the outcome, your part in these events will be pivotal in the ongoing saga of Gielinor's Sixth Age. Rewards Completing this epic adventure unlocks some truly game-changing rewards: new prayers and spells which make a dedicated support role possible in endgame combat content, and high-level skilling incentives that are nigh on vital. Note that these are part of the Ancient curses and spellbook. Spells Spell Level Description Opal Aurora 75 Direct damage spell. Also restores lifespan on prisms. Prism of Restoration 76 Places a prism which heals nearby familiars and restores their special attack energy, and gives a chance to not use scrolls on familiar special ability use. Sapphire Aurora 77 Direct damage spell. Also overcharges prisms, adding useful effects on their next tick. Intercept 77 Redirects damage taken by the targeted player over the next three seconds to the caster, and reduces the damage to 95% of the original hit. Emerald Aurora 79 Direct damage spell. Also applies a stacking 1% damage reduction buff to the caster. Stacks up to 5%, and with other damage reduction methods. Prism of Salvation 80 Places a prism which players can click to teleport near to, as long as there's a clear path between. Ruby Aurora 81 Direct damage spell. Also has a chance to apply a 1% damage buff to nearby allies. Stacks up 3%. Prism of Loyalty 82 Places a prism into which players can funnel life points. Anyone doing so will take damage, and the prism will automatically heal nearby players with 75% or lower life points. Shield Dome 84 Deploys a static dome that allies can stand within to reduce incoming damage by 50%. Domes cannot be layered on top of eachother, and new shield domes affecting a player within 2 minutes have diminishing returns. Prism of Dowsing 86 Places a prism which attracts wisps to it and increases the chance of drawing enriched wisps. All nearby players can benefit from this. Crystallise 88 When cast on mining, fishing or woodcutting spots - or full box traps - will cause the resource to persist for 30 seconds, yield no resources and give increased XP. Other players may still deplete the resource, but Crystallise will carry on when the resource is back. Rapid Growth 88 Skips a tree, fruit tree or herb patch forward a growth stage. Usable once per day on each eligible farming location. Crystal Mask 90 Gives +15% to pickpocketing chance and gives a chance to avoid damage and stun on failure.

Prayers Prayer Level Description Chronicle Absorption 75 Automatically absorbs chronicles while training divination, granting Hunter and Divination XP. Light Form 80 Doubles the chance of Seren-aligned spell effects occurring when using abilities. Dark Form 80 Doubles the chance of Zaros-aligned spell effects occurring when using abilities. Soul Link 88 Equally shares all damage and healing with another player also using this effect. Teamwork Protection 89 Gives 5% damage reduction and 1% damage reflection for all nearby players who have the same prayer active. Stacks up to 5 times for a total of 25% reduction and 5% reflection. Note that the prayer only affects other players, so you'll need 6 players using it to get the full effect. Superheat Form 91 Automatically burns logs and smelts ore into bars for XP. Fortitude 94 Boosts Defence by 10%, life points by 100, doubles regeneration and allows regeneration in combat. All of this is yours to enjoy with the wondrous new capabilities you'll unlock, but it doesn't stop there. You'll also get to return to Tarddiad, where you can earn stunning hybrid-style crystal armour sets in two forms: level 70 tradeable, and level 80 untradeable. And of course, there'll be a healthy helping of XP in a range of skills as soon as you complete the quest. Additional Action Bars Ever wanted to have multiple, hot-key enabled action bars open on your RuneScape HUD? The Ninjas have made it so. Head to the Settings interface to enable up to four additional on-screen action bars, and drag them freely around the screen and resize them as you wish, finding your perfect set-up. Ironman | Group Bossing & Completionist Requirements We've enabled a great deal of high-level content for Ironman players this week. First Up, Ironmen players may now group with each other to access all bosses that use the boss instancing system. They may also create groups to access the Raid ‘Liberation of Mazcab’. Lootshare has also been enabled to Ironman accounts - although it will only work on bosses. Alongside these changes we’ve opened up a few areas in the game that were previously inaccessible to Ironman players. These include areas such as the Kalphite King's lair, Vorago’s borehole, Mobilising Armies and Barbarian Assault. On top of this, we’ve also made it possible for Ironman players to earn the Completionist and Trimmed Completionist cape! To unlock those songs you previously couldn't access, simply attempt to enter or interact with the content in question. Keep an eye out for broadcasts as Ironman players start making RuneScape history! Enjoy! This week sees the release of one of the most spectacular and rewarding quests yet released, plus a raft of new spells and prayers - and more.

As if people doing slayer these days even kill those outdated and obsolete monsters anymore. Still boggles the mind that this update was voted for in Runelabs. This is sort of what happens when you let noobs vote in Runelabs. Implying that your vote is more important because you've already surpassed low level content. Nice. News flash: not everything has to cater to your wants or needs.

Well damn, I might have to resub this month. These updates sound great.

May is a busy time in the real world, so this month's selection of updates is all about getting the most from your precious game time! RS Road Trip Out today is the RuneScape Road Trip: a collection of exciting tasks for you to complete throughout the month of May. It's similar in design to last year's road trip, but is vastly improved thanks to your feedback, and comes with a fresh helping of shiny new rewards. These include a private resource dungeon accessible via the new Explorer's Aura, complete with monsters to kill or generous resources (your choice of the two), boosted XP and a bank chest for fast, easy access. Plus, you can get reward lamps and your own special freaky little pet based on Fluffie: a strange, mind-controlling, evil-yet-super-cute thing from an ancient gnome quest. If there are tasks you just don't like, or you want to complete your road trip in a super-fast time, hunt out a J-Mod just like me in the live game, and we can auto-complete them for you! We'll be hanging around specific locations throughout May, so do make sure you pop by to say hello! For those times when we're not around, we've whipped up some regularly-spawning JMod clones to take our place, so everyone should have the opportunity to get their stamps if they wish. Throughout May we'll be running a series of weekend boosts for skilling, slaying, dungeoneering, ports and minigames, so it's well worth playing if you find some spare time over the coming weekends. In fact, the skiller weekend has just kicked off! We're also running a Community Road Trip on social media: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and on our own forums. You can complete special tasks there throughout May to gain entry into two separate prize draws for some great real life prizes! Pick up your road trip journal from the Burthorpe or Prifddinas Challenge Mistress and get started! Minigame Spotlight System We know that it's sometimes difficult to find a group to play minigames, even with the awesome new grouping system. We've decided to create a new way of playing and earning rewards by adding a universal minigame currency called thalers. You can earn it by playing any minigame, but every three days, one will be "spotlighted" to earn five times as many thalers as normal! On launch, Barbarian Assault will be the spotlighted game, with Conquest following soon after. You can spend thalers on existing minigame rewards, silverhawk boots and charges, or even elite clue scrolls and prismatic XP stars. This will mean that even the most obscure games will get their time in the spotlight, giving you an eager group of players to play with! Improved Loot Mechanics We've been working on a new way to pick up loot, and it's been in the beta for the past month. Thanks for your feedback so far - we're almost finished implementing it, and Improved Looting will be ready for launch later in the month! For those of you who haven't seen it, it's an optional feature that allows you to pick up all your loot across a few game squares in two easy clicks. You can even customise it to only pick up certain types of loot: maybe you're only after herbs, or items over a certain value. It's a small update that makes a big difference, and it's one of my favourites coming this month. Beta The beta servers have been very useful in the past few months, with the EOC/Legacy Mash Up launching a few days ago and the Death Rework in its final feedback phase. Depending on how this goes, we may get the Death Rework to you at the end of this month – any time you can spare to try it out and give us your feedback will be a huge help! Keep a look out for more beta experiments in the near future. Updated D&D Rewards When not sneaking around the Jagex office, the ninjas have found time to update the rewards for a bunch of RuneScape's Distractions & Diversions. They've added a new title for D&D fans, reworked Champion's Challenge to act as an optional repeatable event, fixed up the Skeletal Horror to offer elite clue scrolls, added a new phoenix familiar, made Goblin Flash Mobs free to play, the option to reset your Fish Flingers daily cap with tickets, created a teleport to Bork via the elite Varrock armour, improved the XP from the Evil Tree... There's a whole lot more, but the Ninjas chased me off before I could find out the rest. Check out Mod Pi's dev blog for more information! In Other News Solomon's got a few tricks up his sleeves too month, too, with dyes to customise your outfits and a brand new, limited edition legendary pet called the shadow drake, which is only available for the next few weeks. Our RuneLabs criteria for the month is a small, horror-themed update for use at Halloween. Start thinking about your favourite scary ideas! To celebrate the launch of Block N Load, there's an in-game outfit inspired by the hot-headed automaton Cogwheel. You can get it by playing five Block N Load matches between now and the 10th of May. Block N Load's free on Steam this weekend, so what're you waiting for? Get building, shooting and enjoying the madcap fun. Finally, keep your eyes on the skies. Something's on the way - something big – and soon all of Gielinor will have no choice but to take notice. W00ters out! Mod Mark RuneScape Design Director Podcast - RuneScape Road Trip Listen to our latest podcast now - where brave wayfarers Mod Moltare and Mod Matthe meet at the crossroads to discuss the RuneScape Road Trip. You can also follow our official podcasts on PodBean or iTunes. The RuneScape Community Team What is a Behind the Scenes article? Behind the Scenes is a sneak peek at the planned game updates that we hope to launch in the coming month. This, however, is only a plan - not a promise - that a particular update will be released in a particular way or at a particular time. To get you the highest quality updates as quickly as possible, we usually keep on tweaking and testing right up until the moment before release, so sometimes things change or take a bit longer than expected. We aren't afraid to change our plan if necessary, as we will never launch an update before it is ready. ---- Piss poor month, even by Jagex's standards.

Whether you like it or not, it's not Jagex's fault that you can't afford runecoins. You don't need anything sold in SGS to play the game and you should be glad that that's still the case. And you can try the overrides that they sell: you can preview all of them with the wardrobe.

http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/f1_2015/news/codemasters_ceo_leaves_to_join_jagex.html Thought this was interesting. First time the company has hired a CEO that has prior experience in the video game industry as far as I'm aware.

First world problems.

I have to say, that Aquarium design doc makes it sound really fun and rewarding without relying on RNG. Makes all the old PoH content look like a dated turd.

Agreed. Addy and Rune dragons would be what I would vote for, purely because it's the only option that constitutes actual content.

The game IS for 11 years old. I think u need to realise this. YOU are too old.Except you're required by Jagex to be 13 years of age to play. Such a short-sighted comment. Nobody is ever too old to play a videogame.

I didn't expect the idiocy to start this fast. Seriously, did Jagex really expect anything different? https://[LikelyScam]/m=player-proposal/view-idea?idea=913

Continuation of the Myreque quest line is one of the few things left in RS that I care enough about to actually vote on. I'm glad it's winning, I can't wait to finally meet Drakan.

http://www.videogamer.com/pc/transformers_universe/news/transformers_universe_is_closing_in_january.html Note to mods: please move the thread if you don't think it belongs here. I know this doesn't concern Runescape, but it does have a potential impact on Jagex's only successful game. I'm wondering if the team they have over there actually understand how game design works. It's actually a bit sad that the only successful game they have was created by a man that left the company years ago. What do others think?

Is it just me that thinks the fourth one along in the items looks like a sex toy?

You must be reading a different BTS to me.

I'm not a programmer/coder, so I don't know the ins and outs. But is it really that time consuming to add a book with words to the game? I mean, they obviously have a book template and font for every book in the game - wouldn't it simply be a case of pasting or typing the text onto the template? That would take like, what, 20 minutes at most? Rediculous that they have a 'lore book budget'.

Not just you, thought it was great. It wasn't 'scary' at all, but it had great pacing and atmosphere. Length wasn't bad either.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see the shitstorm on the RSOF that's going to happen when Wildy Wyrms are released. It's gonna be the same self-entitled whining that happened with Ice Strykes and the Fire Cape.

Genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

Number 3 looks the best out those IMO.
