Arthu Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ever since we launched the world map there have been suggestions that dungeons should be incorporated into it. As Mod Ash pointed out in his world map update Development Diary, this was not as easy as it sounds, but we think it was worth the effort, and will make navigation underground easier. Also, you can now toggle the You Are Here button on and off, in case it obscures information on the world map you want to read, and the search feature on the world map has been improved so you can find the places you search for more easily. Our next update is a spam filter, which will relieve your chat window from repeated messages such as you swing your pick at the rock. We trawled through the principal skill-training activities and flagged over 2,700 messages that will now be filtered out as spam. To activate this function, just right-click on the game tab under the chat window and select filter game. Dont worry about missing out on important feedback from the game; messages like you are horribly burnt by the dragons fire (in case you are fighting dragons without the proper equipment) will still get through. We have made graphical improvements to the leprechauns, hitsplats, and the Hitpoint bar - just a few of the graphical improvements that we continue to do alongside updates to the game. You might also notice that the Hitpoint bars of monsters with more than 200 Hitpoints have been extended, but dont worry - they havent been given any more Hitpoints! This is just to help you see more clearly how many Hitpoints a monster youre fighting has. The leprechauns have also been moved closer to their Farming patches. Last but not least we have made a change to the free world by removing most of the options that lead to members-only content, such as pickpocketing, agility shortcuts, members quests and more, in order to make the free game what it should be: a great game in its own right, and not a demo for the members game. None of these features will be removed from the members game, however. Enjoy, whether as a free player or a member. Mod Fetzki Head of RuneScape [hide=Patch notes]Due to the amount of actual game upgrades and their nature, there are only a few extra bug fixes this week.

Mirror Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sounds like fun. A good upgrade week in my opinion. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ermy Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 kb is already updated for the hitpoints http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?article_id=1945 edit: Also found this amusing: Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.

Me_Hate_Libs Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Their update is such a bunch of glorified patch notes that they don't even have any real patch notes to add.

You kill Jagex in your sig, you say you're retired, yet your whining that the update is lame and not worthy of your approval. If you want to do something about the quality of the updates you have to stop paying a company money to disappoint you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
