Future Update Discussions

[Archangelx]

You will be able to betray Sir Owen and Saradomin in this month's quest to some extent.

 

Fascinating! Really excited to see what that would look like!

• Mod Dylan is currently working on the next Elemental Workshop quest (from what I heard this is wrong. He was just saying that Mod Dylan has extensive notes on what he wants to happen with the quest. He didn't actually say its in development.)
  
• The beam between Saradomin and Zamorak at the Battle of Lumbridge will change in upcoming weeks. (This one he just said it will change when the event ends but other than that he really doesn't know much about BOL)
  

[Sy_Accursed]

Having listened to the twitch I don't think the guy taking the notes has done a good job in places; he certainly covered all the topics BUT he seems to of written down what he wishes was said rather than what was actually said.

 

Eg:

Elemental workshop they did NOT remotely say it was in dev or 'being worked on' they just said Mod Dylan had a very clear idea of where the series was going.

Godsword blade they did not really say it was made in the Aviansie homeworld, the question was 'why does the blade change with different hilts' the response was basically that he didn't want to say 'magic' so instead he views the aviansie as very skilled smiths, possibly even better than the Imcado dwarves certainly implying they made it but certainly not that it was made off world.

Yea, while the list hit a lot of the major points, the author seemed to read into a few places what they wanted to hear instead of what was actually said.

[*]The sword that Guthix used to kill Skargaroth will be featured in upcoming quests

 

YES FINALLY

 

We're not going to leave a shattered elder artifact just lying on a dolmen for any joe schmoe to pick up. Thank god.

NOPE. The quest is only possible because we left a shattered elder artifact just lying on a dolmen for any joe schmoe to pick up. We have to get it back, you see...

Don't you dare toy with my heart ALG.

 

Though you're likely right. It just bothers me immensely as I'm sure my whining has let everyone know.

[HunterDexter]

I got some more tidbits from a fellow of a dutch fansite. :)

 

-Zaros will probably be brought back to Gielinor through quest content (although I've heard in some other interview the player could decide if Zaros would succeed)

-Tuksa will get a bigh piece of content and she's female

-Brassica Prime, once a joke, is now a real god, although they haven't yet decided to add content about him

-We will see a lot about Armadyl, who apparentely is male

-Seren is one of the more powerfull gods, higher than Bandos or Armadyl

-Elemental Workshop: as said above me, only the story is developed, no quests in production

-Kara-meir will get more involved in future content

-We might see something like God Bloodlines (I think they were talking about romances, Osborne admitted he shouldn't have revealed that)

-The second skill coming out will advance us into the sixth age, as some on these forums expected

-The underworld gods will get some attention (I think this is a nod to Missing: Presumed Death)

-Kharsai will feature in an upcoming quest

-All Elder Gods are female

-The orb of the Staff of Armadyl isn't the "power" piece, so the real elder weapon part is the stave itself

-Confirmation that the Stone of Jas is the strongest elder artifact

-TokHaar will return, JalYt!

-The body of Guthix that is being constructed in the Ascension Dungeon will probably feature in future content

-The Stone of Jas will return

-The player will never reach god hood, sadly

-Elder artifacts can be broken and mended (look at Skargaroth's Sword, which may be repaired soon)

-Lumbridge will change a lot after the first world event (like there could be a Zamorakian/Saradominist fortress constructed in the woods)

-Elder Artifacts can be resized to be as big as a planet or to fit into an amoebe

-Dragonkin storyline will be as large as the Mahjarrat storyline (I guess the series that started with Jhallan)

-Ana has plans for Darkmeyer, but nothing yet decided

-Godless may try to destroy an Elder Artifact

-The Mahjarrat will see an update about how their hierarchy is and who is related to who

-Mod Nancy left Jagex, so the Penguin Storyline has been moved to Mod Raven, who has some plans ready

-Drakan is after the Stone of Jas (seems like he wasn't after the blood altar after all...)

-The Dungeoneering F61 finale WILL come, we already know that Moia survived, but there's still enough story to tell

[strilmus]

oh

 

so, that gem in the staff

 

that was just armadyl's gem?

Wasn't the last Joe Schmoe to walk into the complex obliterated by it's automated defenses?

Betray two birds with one act. I'll take it.

[Alg]

Don't you dare toy with my heart ALG.

If I was going to toy with your heart, I would have said that it's a sequel to One Small Favour.

[Seismos]

I think the numbers aren't nearly as bad as you'd think.

 

1) Energy that you gather from Wisps, Runespan-style. Constant flow of a large amount of the stackale items over time. No single-click-single-item like Mining and such. 500 energy is likely a relatively small amount

 

2) Several hundred of that energy used to create either consumable items or permanent bonuses--500 energy for a permanent bonus seems very fair

 

If it's a permanent bonus, I would think that it would take a while to be able to get enough energy for it. Not a really long time, since it's a low-level effect, but I'd guess around 1-3 hours worth of gathering.

[DownToFletch]

Those updates look great. All this talk about new quests in the sixth age storyline have me getting quest req's for ones I've yet to do

You mean the defenses we disabled/defeated as we progressed, in the rooms completely past where the sword was? The defenses being the automatons, which no longer have Cres to direct them to defense, they just wander in the central chamber?

 

I suppose so.

[michel555555]

Marimbo will be featured in future quest content. He is a god of hedonism. Pest Control island was once a Marimbo site.

 

made me lol. someones a warhammer fan.

 

marimbos a hedonistic god who threw a party so hard he tore a hole in the fabric of reality. darn that eldar, i mean monkey.

[DownToFletch]

That made me laugh so hard.

 

Did Rum Deal, Cabin Fever, Enakrahs Lament (spelling on the god's name correct?), and Some Like It Cold.

 

Just writing all of those so I can have things to write in relation to because it's almost 3am and I'm tired as [bleep].

 

I know that they released some quest after the Great Brain Robbery, that was rocking out right? They should be continuing that story right?

 

Was Enakrahs Lament just a filler quest to release content, because idt it did much for me for lore, besides I'm now bestfriends with every Ugthanki now because they're sided with Zaros? lol.

 

Some like it cold; any progression past here? Possible raid of the motherland? idk.

[Miss Lioness]

The questline with Brain robbery and Rocking out is the Pirate Story Line I think...

 

SLIC is the Penguin Story line and is in the hands of Mod Raven to develop it further..

 

Nothing we really know what will happen...

[Jon Arcane]

Oooo, I was told Ana left :o although she was at the cowboy festival thing that Jagex had on Thursday.

 

I'm gonna have to do some digging to double check now!

If Ana left at this point we might as well just unsub lol. Hope it's not true!

I feel bad for asking and in no way mean this negatively but what did she do on staff?

[HunterDexter]

Ana and Osborne are a couple and very passionate about their work. I don't think she will leave anytime soon. :P Not now, after she has made TWW and Divination, along with a lot of other projects.

Osborne himself is working on 10 projects now, as he is the narrative designer. :P

In Mod Osbourne's Twitch on friday he clearly siad Ana went straight from TWW on to Divination and that now thats near done he'll try and get her to do the nargi homeworld fairy ring asap.

[Jon Arcane]

Ahhh awesome! She must have had a brief holiday or something and that's were the confusion has started!

 

Edit - bahaha, it was me incorrectly understanding a drunken text, it was that she left the festival. My bad, thank god for that!

Just found this list of current Content Developers and their work. (Note: Not every single developer, only ones that are specifically featured as parts of the community and have specific attribution)

 

According to the list, Mod Ana has developed:

• Crafting Urns + Agility Shortcut Hidey Holes
  
• 2010 Christmas Event
  
• Branches of Darkmeyer
  
• Firemaker's Curse
  
• Bonfires
  
• Social Slayer
  
• Diamond Jubilee
  
• The World Wakes
  
• (And now apparently she's a main dev on Divination)
  

She's currently the main developer for the Morytania quest series, along with apparently a good bit of Sixth Age quest content coming in the future. Definitely a respectable bunch of content she's supervised--sans Social Slayer of course :P

...Which, to be fair, would probably have been a genuinely useful and much-loved update had it happened at any other point in Runescape's history, or in any other MMO :twss:
