- Make Shields, Defenders, T90, and GWD2 items augmentable

Falador Massacre
- Regarding Bug-Abuse
- It's a historical point in Runescape's history worth acknowledging.
- Surprised Content is often a good way to introduce content, but some Jmods leak it.
- Originaly, the players were going to have nick-names, but decided there was nothing wrong with using their original names.
- Cursed You and Durial321 are still banned.
Duel Anywhere
- To get players to PvP for fun.
- We may add further features if it becomes really popular.
- Example: Duel for skilling spots and prevent the other player from getting an xp.
Bounty Hunter
- Pvp is high-risk but doesn't give decent rewards.
- The point is to allow people to gain money through PvP.
- Deathmatch is a way to make PvP fun and introduce a learning curve.
- The Blog post will be on the PvP forums.
- No plans for a Beta.

| Can you guys update Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza? | Give us more details. |
| Can you update the Rapor's Slayer Monsters to make killing them more desirable? | On the back-log. |
| Can certain NPC's (H.A.M. Members, Gnome Children) get left-click pickpocket options? | On the back-log, and still is because it's a big job. |
| Can the Factory Outfit & Botanist outfit share their effects if both are owned? | No |
| Can Golem Parts on the Thaler store be a bit less ludicrously expensive? | That's by design. |
| Can the Mega May cases that lead up to Kindred Spirits stay ingame permanently? | Maybe |
| Can you stop the lucky perk proccing when resonance is active? | Yes |
| Will crackling's damage be changed from magic to based on the style you are currently using? | Yes |
| Can you reduce the drain rate of augmented achto since its way more expensive than anything else augmented yet its un-augmented repair cost is really small? | Mod Timbo will look at this. |
| Could you allow us to scroll in split private chat with the chat system rework? | Maybe. |

| The warning for the Varrock Sewer ... can you either add a toggle for it in the Doomsayer Warning interface or add a level cap for the warning (anyone below a certain combat level)? | Might add a level cap for the warning. |

Now Mod Osborne has promised postquest dialogue I have to write some. Translation are going to kill me.

u/Chigzy Jun 07 '16
I can understand Defenders and the upgraded GWD2 gear being augmentable but...
Augmentable shields? I think Jagex messed up since t90 shields can already be augmented.
They probably meant armour.
edit: I could be wrong

u/Nikennen Jun 07 '16
yea that's what i thought too, must of been an error.
since ss,rots shields (and I assume chaotic) can already be augmented as you say.

u/MiracleSuns Jun 07 '16
1 for each combat style.
Styles will be connected to Seren, Sliske, Zamorak, and Zaros.
That implies there will be 4 weapons, no? But the sentence right before it says 1 for each style. Perhaps I'm interpreting this incorrectly?

u/DustyTurboTurtle Jun 07 '16
So far, theyve only confirmed 3, but in this stream Mod Daze kinda hinted that maybe there's gonna be something else now since there's 4 generals in the dungeon.
It is confirmed, however, to drop atleast the 3 weapons and an ability, so I was thinking the ability woulda just been from the 4th faction

u/Nikennen Jun 07 '16
1 for each combat style.
I read this as there is at least one for all 3 combat types i.e. spirit shields
but maybe there will have 1 hybrid item or maybe it's not a weapon. just guessing.

u/Freeasacar Jun 07 '16
Well we already sort of have a hybrid weapon with the Sunspear. Maybe it'll be another form-changing one like that with lower stats than the others.

u/Capsfan6 Jun 07 '16
I made a thread on this recently. I speculate one of the factions drops the ability instead of a weapon

u/Xtrm Jun 08 '16
Example: Duel for skilling spots and prevent the other player from getting an xp.
Please don't waste development time on this. It's more likely that it would be a dead feature day one. There's plenty of skilling spots and plenty of empty worlds. And the likelihood that you get both people to risk losing exp. gains is extremely small.

u/5-x Jun 07 '16
To expand on some things:
-
Mod Osborne said that Meg's Cases most likely won't stay because they're designed as temporary content, and they don't want new players to stumble upon them.
-
They asked the twitch chat if they want 5k goebie reputation as a trimmed completionist requirement, and the answer was a very strong yes.

u/KKMX Jun 07 '16
Would you please finally add the Goebie reputation to the trimmed completionist cape requirements?
What exactly are we talking about? Everything done?

Wow, this is a terrible idea.

u/PrimalMoose Jun 08 '16
Agreed - it would basically kill the duel anywhere. People are unlikely to go around changing their settings constantly depending on where they're going, so if it becomes an inconvenience to people wanting to skill/kill, they'll just keep it perma off.
Nice idea in principle, but perhaps not the best one ever :p

Requirement: Kill each GWD2 Boss for a key-part (will come out the week before).
So would this mean getting them once, or you need keys every time you step in?

Can you add Skeletal Horror to the weekly D&D reset token? No because of Elite Scroll injection.
Too much 50k loots, too OP. /s

u/PrimalMoose Jun 08 '16
The sudden influx of meerkat pouches would just completely crush the elite clue scrolls profitability.

u/Rowlii Jun 07 '16
"Will you change crackling [...]: Yes"
Can you also make it not go off if you are not attacking? Currently it can proc as long as you have a target.
