No xp drops/counter? what
What we'd actually been hoping to launch was Maz's rewrite of the Duel Arena. As she's mentioned on Twitter, she's currently unwell, and the rewrite isn't finished yet, so we've instead had to prepare some smaller quality-of-life updates. I doubt XP drops would have been ready for this week even if we'd not had the Duel Arena in development; it's not such a small job.

We've added a 'peek' option to the entrances for the following bosses:

...
Scorpia
....

Right-clicking the entrance to each of the above bosses and selecting 'peek' will let you know how many players are currently in the room. This will help you find an empty world without having to take damage in the process.


So this makes it possible for pk'ers to check if there is anybody in the lair, without taking damage? Seems a bit unfair to the PVM'ers in the cave doesn't it?

Right let me use the peek option to see if anyone is in a godwars dungeon boss room when it's not needed. If indeed they are in the far corner killing it I could see minion attack animations.

Cool finally kalphite queen isn't crashable (at least on not on the second form)

any speculation on when the new slayer bosses are coming out? itching for them!
The Slayer stuff will be coming in batches across the summer. I believe the plan is for Cerberus to come earlier in the summer with the Abyssal Sire later on.

Speaking of the KQ, I've taken some time to delve into the middle of our combat system, and I reckon I'll be able to make recoil damage (rings, vengeance, etc.) apply itself to the NPC that dealt the original damage rather than always targeting whatever NPC hit you most recently. Which should help a lot with the KQ's little minions, and also with Zulrah's snakelings, if I can get it to work.

So the following Thursday possibly?

And yet it's useful for PvMers who are looking for a free room to fight the boss themselves. This could have gone either way, but I'm not particularly surprised it passed. You never know, it might even help encourage people not to crash.
