Beloved

They didn't mean combat lvl, unless you're somehow under the impression that combat lvls are assistable

Yeah the best thing about bts was that you would always have *something* to look forward to, so you'd "forgive" the 2 or 3 lesser updates.

well that's just blatantly not true. There's been plenty of BTS' with none to few exciting updates. On another note: guess ill have to do my first game of PC soon :P

It *probably* means you can click a location on the ingame map and probably some kind of guide arrow or pointer mark in the minimap will guide you to the selected location.

It had its moments, but this is better for my peace of mind :P

Too bad elite diaries wont come out this month, also R.I.P. twitter hints :(

Hi, and welcome back to the Behind the Scenes! We used to publish articles like this to let you know about upcoming updates, so you could plan ahead. For a number of reasons, we tried other ways of talking about content, but nothing was as popular as the Behind the Scenes. But now...its back! Behind the Scenes June Characters from RuneScape are due to be arrested for crimes ranging from Littering to Assault & Battery, and will need a hero to represent them. To prosecute or defend their cases, youll need to obtain a court summons from Treasure Trails, by pickpocketing NPCs or from a few other methods. After gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, comparing fingerprints and identifying weak members of the Jury, youll have the chance to prove their innocence or send them away for a very long time. The choice is entirely yours, and healthy doses of Attack or Defence XP await those clever enough to solve the case. The cases are written to make you think and raise a chuckle, so were hoping youll enjoy solving them as much as we enjoyed writing them. Fancy prosecuting the Drunken Dwarf for disruptive behaviour? Perhaps you feel his freedom to call everyone "matey" and ram kebabs in their hands is a basic Dwarven Right (dont worry, it wont result in the return of him as a random event). Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback after reading the blog: it really helped to shape the content, especially in terms of where the court summons drops come from. The first courtroom launch will feature 5 different cases and a new piece of costume. You can expect more cases over the next twelve months: we have 16 cases planned in total! Also this month, we will be introducing ancient effigies to the game, available through high-level combat. These objects ask very experienced (level 91-97) players to use a variety of skills to engage in a little restoration. Players with insufficient skill levels will still be able to use the Assist System to work at the effigy and claim the benefits. Naturally, asking for skills of these kinds of levels makes for some very generous XP rewards. After 2008's Spirit of Summer and Summers End quests, and the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quests in 2009, we decided to release another complete quest series this year. As usual, we want to outdo ourselves and, rather than settle for a storyline made up of just quests, we have decided to make three quests and a related activity! Throughout the series, youll learn more about the different orders of knights in the game and the relationship between them all, especially regarding the mysterious Void Knights and their pests. June will see the launch of the first of these quests - Quiet Before the Swarm: an 'intermediate level' quest (the highest requirement is 42 Strength) that is heavily puzzle and story-oriented, linking to favourite characters of ours like Sir Tiffy. Theres no equipment preparation needed for the quest, aside from completing (but not necessarily winning) a single game of Pest Control. If you fancy a game, try World 144, and if youd like to read more about the Void Knight series, read the blog. In other news... Some of the In other news... you can expect to see this month will be: adding a waypoint marker to your world map; making it easier to get hunter supplies from the penguin areas; and adding new functionality to the Orb of Oculus (machinima camera). Weve also opened RS Classic sign-up until Tuesday 15th June for any members who fancy a nostalgic trip to yesteryear. If community events are more your type of thing, why not get involved in our Triumvirate community game? There are a series of events happening, focusing on three factions the Reavers, Lords and Judges. These events are run and organised by our Player Support teams and you, the players. If youd like to know more, check out the main Triumvirate thread. This weekend sees a huge series of 27 Castle Wars battles, making use of last weeks Castle Wars update (originally intended for a June launch, but launched a week early for you to war over the Bank Holiday weekend). I hope to see you there! Enjoy! Mod Mark RuneScape Lead Designer

just another funorb game for iphone tbh

ok so how the heck did you see a damage splat in that pic lol :P

Yeah, I was expecting batch 2 to come out this summer (june/july, maybe august), "probably this year" doesn't sound too convincing although they probably don't want to be tight down to any time constraints. Although a release for later this year (final quarter?) does seem more likely seeing the latest dungeoneering blog.

Since when? :s

Nasty feeling it's another iPhone game. But then again I could be completely wrong and it turns out to be Stellar Dawn. The last time they did one of these coming soon pics it was for a bag in the Jagex store I think so I wouldn't be too suprised if it was something similar - I highly doubt it's anything to do with RS. :P actually the last time was 4 days ago :P

It is, but I seriously doubt JaGEx had enough forethought to change saved pictures... :mellow: - As in, it's probably not a glitch, it just wasn't important enough to force-update. I reckon it would be very difficult (or even impossible) to update the head and body pictures with new graphics

Where did they say there was gonna be a batch 2 of cw updates? I'm not saying it isnt true, just havent seen it anywhere :P

Darn, i wanted to come but i forgot -.- Congrats! :P

Theres only 2 things SwiftKit is good for: Screenshots (+uploading them) and IRC. Personally i only use it for the first reason, but like smellysocks said, this client could come with some really nice additions in the future, we'll have to see though.

they already said there wont be an update next week because we already got it this week. also:

2 to go :) (personally loved sallies :P)

ahh yes of course, told you ive never personally done it :P /edit: unspam in 30 min or so ;)

Dont believe what anyone tells you, orange sallies are the best exp till 80. Ive tested it several times, so keep catching those orange critters :) Would it be faster to get 77-80 there and catch grenwalls 80+ or to go to grenwalls for 77+? I'm more focused on cash atm. Well from what ive heard from a close friend grenwalls are around 50-60k/h at 80, i havent tried them myself though (too much hassle and im not so much cash minded ;)) In any case i would do one polar bear at grenwalls once youre 77, see how it works out.

cant hurt to try :P But it will probably still use Internet explorer/safari to run on

Thats probably due to the included java environment (im guessing) Visually nothing has changed though, although there is now a menu bar with an options tabs, but you can only select languages.

hahaha come to think of it, it took me just as long to complete WGS as it did to complete this quest :P

prayer is exactly the same though lol Not true, they smoothed out the Prayer emote of course they did, that was the update after all. But they didnt change the way the emote looks.
