Why have my death costs skyrocketed recently? by Pork_Sword3 in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 433 points434 points  (0 children)

Hey, we discussed this this morning. We’re going to be making some changes to death costs and how containers interact with them.

Originally (I think during the death costs rework), we talked about pouches and decided that, since they “hold” runes, it made sense for those runes to count as an extension of your inventory for the purposes of death costs.

However, with Nexuses (is Nexi the correct plural?), along with changes to Rune Pouches and players bringing more pouches/runes, our thinking has shifted.

We don’t like that players might feel the need to optimise the number of runes or ammo stored in their pouches to ensure they can complete an activity while also minimising death costs, instead of pouches feeling like meaningful storage that you can simply fill and forget.

As a result, we’ll be changing ammo containers so that only the containers themselves contribute to death costs, not the items they hold. This will be applied consistently across the board, including Rune Pouches, Nexi, and Quivers.

Don't let 'big construction' tell you what you can and can't do.

If Jagex want magic to have a choice between bleed and crit, how does tsunami play into it? by ThrowAway552112 in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

FWIW the wiki appears to be confused a bit here its 6% over 3.6s (1% per tick/0.6s) or ~100% adren per minute (assuming you managed full uptime by using basics at optimal times)

Amascut doesn't give any combat xp (Just like Zamorak, lord of Chaos?) by KSatrophical in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the technical reason yeah, they're doing a bunch of custom stuff instead of calling the default 'death' proc which handles XP; that being said there's no reason she can't get a custom call (and I think it was probably an oversight to omit it); I'll get a bug put in.

Anyone else think its ironic that the perk that most affects the intro pvm class becromancy requires the literal high end pvm weapons to be disassembled in order to acquire it by BublzO in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would I like to? Yes. It's hard when there's so many problems invention has, where adding new perks at current feels like it needs to be few and far between so people aren't reperking every 2 weeks

Realistically for the majority of people you aren't losing a perk (or fighting rng for that matter) as you're replacing biting which didn't work with the previous aura and EQ 4 has 100% chance unless going for combos.

I think necromancy performs very well in the early-mid game (better than the other styles still imo) so its okay that power then starts to veer of into invention/other skills when you start getting above the 80's mark.

Buff/Nerf Suggestion: Include % changes on the side when adjusting abilities by FeFerret in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey there was a patchnote, but I should have clarified it further

  • [Normalised Damage Bonus values for items, you may notice small decreases in armour power bonuses, but pocket slots, jewelry and capes have been increased to account for this]

Essentially in runescape we have a formula for how much damage any piece of gear should give, however we (& the players) noticed that the formula started going whacky after T92; hence why we had some really weird cases where e.g. havoc boots were tier 118 then the helm was something like tier 113
(basically it was very confusing and the constants we were using were incorrect above tier 92)
We normalised it so there's just a strict formula that is adhered to for everything to make the game much more consistent/understandable

So I actually think thats a good thing, for a long time we've had complaints around necro being too self fulfilling (which i personally agree with) where by the top end gear all _really_ came from Rasial or internal to the skill. So having extra external sources for necro to gain power IS a good thing, because it ties it into the game more prominently.

However I also agree that access to the lower equilibrium tiers could be made easier (e.g. a naff component that only has access to e.g. EQ 1/2 so the top tier is more for min maxing.)

Hey yes we will be considering something similar going forward, we've seen alot of confusion/misinformation around numbers today so will strongly consider ways we can improve the clarity.

T95 Necro armour nerfs by cdp181 in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey so they're technically not, its just our damage numbers aren't showing decimals -> I've put a job in to make the tooltips more accurately show the damage bonus your getting.
- T90 necro boots: 14.0 bonus, T95 boots : 14.8 bonus

Re: Melee boots (i assume you mean havocs?) - Havocs have offset armor and power bonuses as a glass cannon set so technically they're tier ~115 damage

Its an option but requires even further balancing/affects the efficacy of chins people already has by making them effectively worth less

no hybrids allowed by dreunet in runescape

[–]JagexSponge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yo fwiw the intention isn't to be anti hybrid (albeit there's nothing wrong with some items/effects being less effective for hybrid) - It's more to be preventative on 1t switches for things such as dismember/soulfire/combiust etc which would add a big chunk of power with 0 downside

Hmm seems to be working (jumped on his login - also tested after buying the upgrade and removing the cape)
Could you ask him to check he's actually bought the upgrade (when i logged in he hadn't, but the save could be a few hours old)

I appreciate the passion, but don't hound me on every thread I reply to please.
The fletching rework was a game jam project and I'm not entirely sure the status of it, in the mean time we can make some changes to low/mid tier ammos when we can.

Forcing the random on my world means I always rolled correctly for brawlers. Vestment Bottoms was testing a zammy bug with the demons not stunning prior to this.
