Yay an update;

Taken from the news post -

Now that your memory’s been refreshed, let’s take a look at how the Ninja Team dealt with the first major challenge the PAG presented:

More Meerkat Scrolls

Fetch Casket scrolls are an invaluable item for clue hunters, but they’re not readily available. This update sought to change that by providing a new source of scrolls: meerkat pouches. From now on, one meerkat pouch can be exchanged for ten Fetch Casket scrolls at any Summoning obelisk. Simples!



Warpriest Armour Drop Rate

Players who participated in the first two World Events were rewarded with an increased drop rate for Warpriest Armour set pieces. Unfortunately, this meant that players who weren’t able to take part are now at a disadvantage.

So from now on, Warpriest Armour will drop at the same boosted rate for everybody.

Hidden Familiars

Previously, summoned familiars would have to be dismissed in certain areas of the game. In practice, this meant that players would have to re-summon their familiars quite often, costing them time and resources.

We’ve already introduced an update where familiars and pets will hide themselves upon entering Lumbridge Market, without having to be dismissed. After this week, five more restricted areas will have this functionality. In the Falador Party Room and the Runespan, you’ll still be able to see your familiars, but they’ll disappear for everyone else.

Adrenaline Cooldown Reset

Isn’t it annoying to have to wait for your Adrenaline cooldown to tick over in the middle of a battle? Well, not anymore, because from now on you’ll be able to unlock the ability to reset your cooldown from War’s Retreat.


So after seeing some of what the PAG team have been up to what are people’s thoughts? Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

Guess we will see. The group seems somewhat balanced, although I already see a heavy emphasis on high-level PvM. But good to see that some of them have experience on ironmen and some non-combat related things.

I would have hoped for some more communication however.
Back when PAGs were first announced I thought well maybe this could be used as away to bridge the gap between developer and players. In a way it is but at the same time it’s a relatively small cross section put in a bolt hole, to decide what will benefit the larger community.
Unless they’ve been posting on social media, the chain of dialogue seems to end with the PAGs, whereas I hoped it would have ended with everyone.
If there was that connection to the wider community as a whole I imagine we’d be looking at some very different updates, as from the above list the only one I’d have a considered an issue was the hidden or ‘ghost’ familiars one. Don’t get me wrong the others are nice updates to have, but that’s the only one we’re I’ve thought “ yeah that’s been a problem”.

Also the first update post was delayed considerably.
:P

still think its a streamer rear kissin joke these do not represent the average rs player at all I think they aimed high with the first group of players, people who have been playing for a long time, who know all the ins & outs. Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

I apologise for putting such a negative spin on this but what promises of actions based on suggestions by the players can Jaqex actually provide that wont fall flat on its face within a few months like everything else?

The only time I can recall that they actually took notice of players on mass and followed through was the vote whether to bring back OSRS from a magically found back up *sucpucoous at best*

We've had player surveys,Runlabs,community poles and multiple other avenues and nothing came of it I mean look at mini games they have really had a revamp... O_o

I wish the P.A.G all the best but sadly actions speak louder then words so I await to see what happens if anything.
