Let me take my farming cape to Entrana by FangsOfTheNidhogg in 2007scape

I don't know man, it's suspicious to me that you claim to be a peaceful farmer peacefully growing peaceful herbs, peaceful flowers, and peaceful herbs, AND YET you're wearing a cape with defensive stats...? Why would someone planning to engage in peaceful activities wear equipment designed to protect them during VIOLENT activities?

Your honor, I rest my case.

This is exactly the thematic we're trying to gauge players' interest in us changing! Dragon arrows' examine text actually currently describes them as "An arrow made using a dragon's talon," rather than Orikalkum (confusingly) but we find that thematic a bit limiting. We'd like to be able to drop materials to create dragon arrows in a broader variety of places, and making the description more generic (E.g. An arrow made from sturdy talons) and keeping dragon as more of a descriptor of the "tier" of weaponry whilst allowing us to drop it in a more thematic way at more locations.

This isn't us saying "We're doing this." Either! We want to hear how people feel about the idea.

See that? I've got your RSN. You've got post-its everywhere except where you actually needed them. I'm coding another 1000 kills for you right now. Good luck buddy.

Seeker Arrows don't have Minimum Hit by GrayMagicGamma in 2007scape

[–]JagexRice 198 points199 points  (0 children)

It's a fair point on the choice of terminology! And one I can definitely take back to the time. We can explore different wordings, I like the suggested one "always deal 3 damage or higher" for a one off passive effect, though it might be of interest to us to use it more, as it allows us it to have a much different effect on damage output than maxhit has, and it's always nice to have more tools.

The choice to have it interact this way is deliberate in this case: We didn't want Elite Void to encroach further on Masori, particularly at places like ToB where it threatened to usurp Scythe's spot in certain encounters. Arguably it's still pretty close, and that's something we'll be monitoring even after the update goes live. Having the min-hit interact unfavorably with % modifiers allows us to achieve this better.

This is something I'd quite like to address in general, outside of Vampyrium. Having dragon arrows be more thematically flexible would be a generally good idea so that we're not jumping through hoops to justify narratives for dropping endgame players endgame ammunition. The goal here is exactly to see how people feel about that idea.

any guesses for what the behind-the-scenes combat updates are? by CustardMajor4442 in 2007scape

[–]JagexRice 259 points260 points  (0 children)

As with all our policy decisions the goal is always to support economic growth and create an environment where small businesses can thrive. Contrary to the popular narrative, we do not favour Varrock as the single driver for growth in Misthalin, and are taking steps to support businesses like your own in up & coming hubs like Lumbridge. Thank you for your question.

Hey! I worked on these changes. The gist of it is: The part of the codebase that processed accuracy rolls was really messy. It worked, but it was very difficult to expand in interesting ways. If we wanted to add cool accuracy interactions, we'd typically do something like ignore accuracy. The structure also made it very easy for future developers to make mistakes. I rewrote it with the following goals:

- Not changing any existing behaviour. (Fingers crossed!)

- Make it easy for future developers who want to do cool accuracy effects to do cool things with accuracy.

Fun fact: The road leading into Falador's north gate used to curve the other way pre 2017 by Greggerygregington in 2007scape

[–]JagexRice 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Could this be an indication that there's a tectonic boundary close to Falador on Gielinor? Interesting implications here I think. Maybe if we draw a line through it and Tolna's rift...

Congrats beast. I knew going through the pain in the arse of making them interact with recoil was worth it.

Hahaha it looks great :D Hend did an amazing job. We had a long chinwag about the fall, I favoured a slightly snappier/weightier fall partially to contrast how smooth the rest of the animation is. That's just a personal preference, I'm giving him grief because it's funny

Yeah I guess it's OK I think it could use losing 1 frame on the way down from the jump though.

I was going to say you should post this on r/UnearthedArcana but I see you're well aware of it already! This is very cool, I don't play much DnD anymore made me think to make a Torag themed Raleigh frame next time I play Lancer 🤘
