Jagex, Are you forgetting something?

[JCClubJCAT]

1. The Halloween Event is over yet the music is still there

 

2. Did Maggie forget Wendy in Rimmington?

 

3. Did Maggie forget the Cat?

 

 

 

NEVERMIND:Also, (can't confirm) has anyone seen a penguin recently. Did they take out penguins from halloween stuff and not put them back?

 

I spotted a rock-disguised penguin the same day the event was removed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think Jagex is thinking to much about the Grandmaster Quest :ohnoes: Can't wait.

They promised most Randoms to be gone long time ago. They still haven't done what they promised.

1.) The music is supposed to stay. How dare you suggest they remove it! :0 Note to those who may misinterpret: the previous sentence is meant to be jokingly condemning, not rude.

[magmaguard3]

I thought they automatically unlocked the music after the end of the event? :?

[JCClubJCAT]

Its the music before you log in

 

Normally you hear Scape Main

Im still waiting for wilderness tag

They talked about it in the Post so they still are thinking about it. But grandmaster quest>randoms. I just got Dr. Jekyll at KQ :wall:.

 

 

 

But the music always stays

 

Wendy is left for members so they can still do the quest like Jagex said we could.

 

The cat is Wendy's.

So you can still start and do the quest I guess. I may be wrong since I did the quest and havn't been to rimmington since but thats what I'm thinking.

And I'm still waiting for the 5 or 6 things that were never implemented or discussed any further to the public.

 

 

 

Meh, if they forgot anything it was being able to put the enjoyment of such things to the players, more so than players wanting to point out their flaws.

In a post they on mainsite, news they said that randoms had good priority. There were PVP worlds, some other updates+randoms. But now they are taking randoms priority even further below.

[hide=This?]

In February's edition of State of Play we promised to report regularly on anticipated updates, giving you a better idea of how they are progressing. This week, we feel it's the right time to catch up with Summoning, PvP minigames and some other releases we have planned.

 

 

 

Summoning Improvements:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progress has been made on Summoning 2 and we plan to have this released by the end of the month. It is currently past the balancing and entering the final QA stages.

 

 

 

Many of you have asked what the rebalancing entails. Well, we do not want to ruin the surprise completely, but we can say that we have changed our philosophy towards balancing familiars. Instead of having lots of benefits that ADD UP to create a useful familiar, we have decided to make sure that each familiar will have one stand-out ability that makes it awesome.

 

 

 

Take the beaver, for example: currently, it boosts your Woodcutting, counts as a knife, produces logs when Woodcutting and offers the Multichop special move. On their own, these abilities add up, but don't 'stand out', as such. Well, with our change in policy, the beaver will soon make you logs and planks no matter what you are doing at the time, in a similar vein to Ava's Accumulator from the Animal Magnetism quest.

 

 

 

We can also reveal that the combat familiars will give you XP when used in battle. Each combat familiar will have a specific skill that they raise your XP in during combat - the spirit jelly gives Strength XP, for example. This will be equal to the XP you would receive if you had caused the damage yourself.

 

 

 

Friends List Changes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we released the changes to the Friends List on the 25th of February, we never intended them to impact on your enjoyment of RuneScape. In fact, the changes were made so that you could chat easily with your FunOrb friends and vice versa.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, as many of you have pointed out, the text used in the interface was difficult to read for some, leading us to make changes to its colour scheme. This was only a short-term solution, however, and the FunOrb and RuneScape Game Engine teams are collaborating to make something that will be appreciated by 'Scapers and 'Orbsters alike.

 

 

 

Item Lending:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The item lending feature has progressed past the proposal stage. Unfortunately, the Game Engine developers in charge of the project have had to delay it while they work on issues with serverload that came to light during the Audio Week release. These problems meant that worlds went out of action for a period of time and the developers have been tackling this issue so it does not happen again.

 

 

 

We're aiming to have this resolved in the next couple of weeks, so that item lending can be made a priority again. For the moment, we can tell you that the item lending feature will be session-based, allowing you to transfer objects to another player for the period that you are both logged in.

 

 

 

New PvP Minigame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our next PvP minigame is entering the last stages of QA. Many of you have asked on the Forums about some aspects of this minigame - in particular, how it differs from the Duel Arena.

 

 

 

Well, firstly, we can promise that the game is nothing like the Duel Arena or even Bounty Hunter. This game calls for strategy, requiring far more than just combat. It demands mastery of both offensive and defensive tactics while offering fantastic rewards that you can receive nowhere else.

 

 

 

We plan for this minigame to be available to both members and F2P, which means that everyone can expect some enhanced equipment with great set effects. We will continue improving both free-to-play and members' PvP content in the future. Expect more news in upcoming State of Plays!

 

 

 

Clan Wars Changes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've had a good look at the suggestions players have been sending in for Clan Wars. In particular, we'd like to add a 'run-in' option, where players will be permitted to re-join the battle after they've died. The first team to achieve a pre-agreed number of kills may be declared victorious. Along with this, we're looking to provide a choice of arenas, each with different scenery and obstacles. We've got plenty more Clan Wars features planned - including some 'dangerous' ones - so keep your eyes peeled for information.

 

 

 

Random events:

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had planned some work on the random events of RuneScape quite some time ago. We were looking to see if we could remove most of them, because a decent number were not particularly good at stopping modern-day bots. Since the threat of bots and macros has been largely removed, we feel that this is a perfect opportunity to address the problem again. For the moment, we are concentrating on our PvP minigames to compensate for the Wilderness changes, but the random event proposal has been approved and is in the pipeline.

 

 

 

NOTE - We are certainly not removing every single random event. This proposal gives us the chance to reassess them, see if they are doing their job properly and then take action: removing those that do not work, adding to those that do and improving the rewards of all that remain!

 

 

 

Grand Exchange:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Issues with item images have meant that the Grand Exchange Database has been delayed until mid-April. We apologise for this continued delay; we intend to release the database when we are certain that it delivers on its aim - to give you a strong visual idea of market price trends over a long period of time.

 

 

 

Our Grand Exchange price changes are still ongoing. The godswords and flatpack furniture are examples of items that have had their value changed thanks to your feedback.

 

 

It also mentions upcoming State of Plays in there. That was on 27/03/08, and none have been released since. The PVP minigame they mention, is FOG, I think[/hide]

[Dire_Wolf]

Yeah, that one. I seriously thought we were past those updates :o My bad *Apologies to Jagex*. Guess according to that list Random events update is next?

 

 

 

We have had GE update right?

Hahaa, they said publicly in a news post that "Wilderness Tag" was dropped, so you'll be waiting ages mate, considering they're not making it anymore.

Yeah, I'm still hoping for the random events change.

 

And what the hell is a wilderness tag? #-o

[Pafman]

And what the hell is a wilderness tag? #-o

 

 

 

Wilderness Tag features a series of pillars dotted around the entire of the wilderness, with players being invited to tag them, similar to the way the Agility Arena works but without the timers. Players who successfully tag all the pillars (featuring various levels of difficulty) are rewarded with a generous helping of combat XP in the discipline they choose. Be careful, though, it is the Wilderness after all.

 

 

 

But as 3 Hit U already said, it has been cancelled.

well you start the quest near the legends guild now:

 

 

 

The Swept Away quest will remain in-game as a piece of members' content. To start the quest, youll need to speak to Maggie, who has moved her caravan to a spot just west of the Legends' Guild.

Now pkers have gone, there could be a chance they might think of doing it again. Not a high chance though. Just maybe if they become low on ideas.

 

Maybe add more revenants so it's not just running around clicking pillars. Everyone loves revenants.

[H2PM]

They said they were they didnt say that they were imedtly.

 

They had a precentage bar and it was far form being compleated.

 

P.S. I know my spelling is bad, just woke up... #-o

[BiJay]

I think they update GE in pieces and they don't lose much words about it.

 

 

 

I made some speculations on october BTS with the new update model involving some thoughts about the random event changes for december. I was already thinking they will make one quest per month. So if you count christmas as a quest (like halloween) the 3 updates for december could be: Christmas event, new tactic pvp minigame and the random event changes.

[3hitm4g3u]

This is the only update I want from them.

The reason it was dropped was because it was boring, they may add it in the future although it may be a completely different type of game, much like how summoning was changed around several times before it was actually released.

I saw that too, music still there o.o but I think the rimmy thingy is cause of the quest? Idk
