towards the server hold on my end i droped to 12FPS and which made me jump from point A to point B without being walking ( on my screens end ) this took place for 3 minutes then it went back balanced to 47 FPS , The spot were people can join eachoter before entering the dungeon was very laggy tho with a steady 10fps
I'm having a little trouble understanding your post, I'm afraid. However, the bit about the area outside the dungeon does make sense - we sent over 1k players there at once. Any area with so many players will have a bad FPS for you, since that's a lot of people for your client to draw.
Fortunately, Raids won't be restricted to one world on launch, so people will be able to spread out across all the members' worlds, and you'll probably find it quieter then.
Not too happy about the grouping system as it is however not sure if this is the final system or not. I understand that you have tied it to clan chats however for us clans that already have structures and ranks in place having it tied so heavily to a group listing is an issue for us. I have also spoken with other clan leaders from different clans who seem to agree. Few points below:
- Starting a raid party and advertising it allows any random player to join therefore joining our clan chat. I started a test party and had 30 randomers join our cc that we didn't know, weren't ranked or members of the clan. It would mean we have to lock our clan chat to keep raids to clan members only unless you are able to allow an option where all members of the party need at least 1 banana/smiley rank in CC etc.
- Kicking someone from the raid party kicks them from the clan chat. If we get a member afk or not participating, would be far more beneficial to remove them from the party but not the clan chat. Our clan chat is a place where all members are welcome, I don't feel throwing out 1 hour bans for someone being removed from the group is ideal.
I presume that it was the easiest way forward to tie raid parties to clan chats (might be wrong) however please allow additional options such as "rank only raids" or allow our clan chats to set this option via our clan accounts chat setup.
We would always restrict our clan events to clan members only however we would like to keep our chat open for alt accounts/iron man accounts of current members without having to fill our friends list and lock the clan chat down to prevent random players joining.
- Other than the grouping system I think the rooms within raids look amazing and very well done. Can't wait to see what is in store for us with the final release!
I expierenced a graphical bug while in the dungeon. After i climbed down the hole to the second floor, I was able to see the first floor when aiming my camera too high.

We don't have a whole lot of options here. It took RS3 about 6 years to get a special party-grouping system for this sort of purpose, so we've had to do the best we can with what we've got. (Or refuse to write any group content for a few years.) So yes, it works off chat-channels.
That can be awkward for big clans who use their chat-channel as an open forum for anyone to join. However, you're not necessarily obliged to use the clan's main channel for this purpose. Everyone has their own channel; if you set up one of them to be the clan's raiding channel, with whatever restrictions you like, you will hopefully be able to get the party you want. It's not ideal, granted, but I'm afraid we would not have been able to offer you exactly what you'd like in any reasonable timeframe.

Yes, the maps are not complete. There'll also be quite a few more of them in the finished product.

Not sure if addressed but I noticed I was kicked out of the final room when the leader left. Is this intentional?
If the leader becomes unavailable, the game will look for another player with the required rank to appoint as leader. If it can't find one, the party is over. However, for a party of any size, ranking a second player shouldn't be a problem for you.

has anyone else suggested adding a quest filter to hide done quests and or allow putting in-progress quests at the top?
Yes. It's just not something we've offered yet since it's a pretty big job, and we've got other requests to work on too.
