If you are talking to me, I'm in the US. I can never get Jagex's attention because whenever I go on the new dev blog thread due to my time, Jagex is gone and it's +15 pages already.
We do read what turns up over the weekend, but I agree it's not ideal. Unfortunately we don't have 24-hour developer chat coverage (and RS3 mostly doesn't either). I'd direct you to my Twitter channel, but it's currently offline.

The is Madness!
What is special about PvP worlds if your recolouring rune for Vesta armour and such? 0%. And I cant understand why. why people still want it, can they not accept?
I see what you mean. Gotta admit, I've usually been inclined to prioritise functionality over appearance. So I can understand people deciding that if they can get X they don't really mind what it looks like so long as it does the job. But that's not everyone's view.

Is there any way to make it so, if the PvP equipment passes, we actually get our full hour out of it? Previously, when we used the gear (take for example the Vesta's Longsword, or VLS) it would count roughly 1 minute of the 60 everytime it was pulled out to be used for the special attack...even though using all 4 specials only took about 15 seconds.

Is there anyway to make it actually count the real usage time of the weapons and gear rather than just have them tick a set amount per equip?
I think I can make it work with pretty high resolution on the degradation timer, and not count down once per minute even if you didn't use it for the rest of the minute.

Also, maybe a right click to check HOW degraded it actually is?
Ours should totally have that. I hadn't realised it was missing before.

I'd like XP rates to stay as they currently are. No brawlers/15% steady boost, I'm not a pker and see these updates as somewhat unfair. Depending on the rewards from the pvp world tasks, those might draw me to the worlds and I think they'd balance out a lot better though. Also I think offering the PVP gear is a mistake, I think the safest route is treating the entire world as wildy, the only loot you can get is from what your opponent has.

So you CAN make it only degrade for however long we actually have it equipped? That's the best news I've heard in a LONG time. I was kinda crazy for the VLS and spent entirely too much cash on them. xD And yeah, our old ones only said "Vesta's Longsword (d)" and with no way to check how far gone it was until it just vanished on us; most of the time mid-fight! Nope.

Hey Mod Ash, thanks for the blog.. it was exciting! We definitely need an item sink for slayer drop items such as:

Abyssal whip
Colored mystic
Adamant\Rune boots
Granite maul
Dark bow
ETC
(Perhaps an item sink for high end smithing items too, like rune)

Slayer shouldn't be rewarding only to the people who first got the big prized drops but for anyone and everyone who puts the time and effort no matter when they do it.

Side note: Please take a look at my post on the Clan Cup\patch notes thread on page 11. It's an easy fix and quite necessary imo.

Thanks!

Thinking back, I believe the original PvP world kit was written in the same way as the Barrows kit. Much later, Mod Chris L wrote degrading armour in a different way, possibly for the Nex update, and did it with much higher time resolution. I think I can use his technique instead of just copying the Barrows code.

I always thought the level 20 ancient gear was ridiculous.
The ancient gear should be only level 80 equipment, I think.

And i'm looking forward to all the possible design concepts of the gear. See what you guys could dig up from the files and use weapons/armor that currently only NPCs use like you did with the Staff of the Dead. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

would there ever be a chance of bringing back the rev cave? I loved the for farming the gear (well, tried...lol)

btw did you guys ever think of polling runescape pre eoc? like to just release that? The recent updates makes me think the game is getting VERY similar to pre eoc other than d claws ancient prayers and summoning + dung
