Friggin' JAG... You have to activate it for HTML5 as a separate device. It asked me one question that I wasn't entirely sure of. I typed it in, got in wrong... and guess what? It didn't change questions. Now I need to wait 24 hours to try again. Oh well, the beta looks like it's really glitchy and probably not even worth bothering with... At least until the new interfaces arrive.

 

Is there any way to see what questions you have for JAG? I think there are only three questions, right? I need to make sure the note I wrote down is actually for JAG and not for my old recovery questions or something. Speaking of which, do recovery questions even exist anymore, or were they completely replaced by this annoying JAGOFF system?

 

By the way, what ever happened to the NDA? It seems a lot of people are posting screenshots etc. regardless.

There are five questions, and they ask you a random three of those five. I believe JAG has completely replaced the old recovery system, although I could be wrong.

NDA was repealed almost immediately.

 

JAG I don't think there is a way to view, but you have 5 (maybe 6) questions. You have to answer 3 per check and it does give you prompts for your answer. Firstly the character count is exact to your answer (eg if its 7 characters allowed your answer had 7) and the default text in the box before you click into it shows the first letter eg 5 characters allowed default text of z**** would be shown if your answer was zelda or zonks or zones.

NDA, non-disclosure agreement? Are you trying to say we agreed to that?

Not quite as impressive as I was expecting, there's too much rubble and other things obscuring the view.

If you're wondering why I didn't try to get a picture of all the monsters fighting, it's because of the above, and also because most of the monsters don't APPEAR.

 

Some monsters are floating lol

Yeah they don't want to increase Npc/Player rendering distance because it's unfair to people using the java client.

 

i think that's bogus..that should only really apply in pvp situations.

I can see their point whilst it does have more to do in PvP situations it also effects other things.

Eg LRC seeing gold deposits further away

Larger dungeon areas seeing spawns further away

DG being able to see monsters before you get there.

 

They all would give slight advantages, hopefully though they do increase it over the next few years whilst dwindling java support since only rather cruddy machines can't deal with html5 (once its up and running properly)

imo they should only have that limit in pvp type situations.

You all need to go check out Runespan.

 

There really need to be an increased draw distance for npc's and monsters there. It would look amazing.

 

Runescape window should look like this

 

 

Because some people are stuck with fixed screen and god forbid someone gets an advantage.

Runespan is actually quite underwhelming I think. It really looses it's sense of scale because the islands are so close together, and you can see them all (and some from the other levels).

 

Also it needs it's pretty nebula skybox back. :P

Tried going on top floor of Wizard's Tower, couldn't see much despite having max draw distance. Not sure what was going on.

We actually gained a nice gray fog wall here.

Are brightness/zoom settings carried over onto beta? My game looks quite washed out compared to these pictures.

When I first logged in it explained that all settings were set to minimum, and if it runs alright to increase them.

Not what I meant. Are camera zoom and brightness from your live settings carried over, despite not being selectable on beta?

I think span is one of the areas that needs a redesign for html5. Like previously mentioned the islands all look so densely packed now you can see them all it kinda loses it's sense of scale, in the sense of being this empty space dotted with floating islands. Wouldn't be too hard to do either just systematically drag all the islands outwards and redo the transport animations to allow for the expanded distance.

 

Also no settings are carried over, just like eoc beta this has its own setting file due to be a separate applet (hence music etc. being turned right up when u first load)

 

Being able to see so much of areas also kinda shows up the ugly as well eg Sarim, especially the jail, looks really quite ugly when you can see it all from afar where as DA Cwars, slayer tower, wiz tower etc. have all much more clearly been designed with the greater view range in-mind

I'm just trying to figure out why my game looks bleached compared to the other pictures I'm seeing here.

Also, Al-Kharid comparison:

Live (Turned down brightness, zoomed out)

 

Beta

Could just be areas your in. Also try turning bloom off, it doesn't seem right in html5 yet imo - gives insane white flares to nearly everything which could be 'bleaching' them out.

So when there was still that NDA thing...

How they thought they could prevent people from showing information from the beta to people standing behind you stumps me.

It's like we've been playing Steven King's: The Mist for the past five years.

Hosted a livestream lasting about 4 hours. Visited a lot of the map, not everything but here's the video if anyone who doesn't have access wants to see it. |^_^|

 

i'm getting a craving for wildberry poptarts

not my image, but auras mess you up a bit:

 

 

This may be a glitch guys

 

 

 

Draynor was so peaceful before the Dragonkin.

 

Lol. Many, many areas viewable from Underground Pass and related areas.

Working as intended. Escape was buffed.
