Finally my duuuuudes. I don't even care for the rewards. I just enjoy the fresh content.

Technically a private server with a huge playerbase, these get me moist. I'm keen.

Glad I bought some more membership. Might stay for a bit longer this time.

Played over 600 hours in the last league, it was an amazing experience. Really looking forward to this league! I earned a dragon trophy last time around, and was a little disappointed that it didn't have the same colors as OLM, which seemed like a missed opportunity. And THEN I saw the concept art for the Trailblazer Dragon Trophy, unique color scheme and it looks fresh. I have to say i'm a little jealous and kind of upset that the Twisted Dragon Trophy is just a plain red dragon...

Last year when discussing leagues there was talk about replacing the stats from last league with new updated stats from this league. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS. I need to have some way of being able to preserve and share my accomplishment in the Twisted Leagues leaderboards. Is there a possibility that we can keep the stats from the last leagues somewhere in an archive so that we don't lose all that progress that we made in the last event? Why did i work so hard to get top page in mining , or top 350 for total levels if you are just going to delete my stats from the hiscores?

Rewards need to be worth more ingame money. Do not worry about inflating the market, you are effectively removing a large portion of your playerbase from the main game for 2 months, they should be able to still earn gp in those 2 months by doing really well in leagues. I only made 60m in profit for 630 hours of gameplay last league due to reward prices and low high-alch values that your team set to prevent the prices from being too high. And i was one of 1%. So only 1% off 120,000 players made close to 60m from their effort. If i spent 630 hours in regular OSRS I could have earned several hundred mil, iff not a billion gp. A lot of players won't even consider wasting their time even if leagues are fun if they feel like they are wasting gp in the main game by not earning enough.

Set the high-alch value of rewards HIGHER, so that prices can't be forced down to an unfair value to the players who spent the time to earn.

Some of the tasks in the last league were nearly impossible to complete due to time constraints, and many of the tasks had extremely low rewarded points for how difficult / how long they take to complete. Steal 1 gem get 250 points, Kill Sarachnis 100 times get... 50 points? 100? Seriously reconsider the balance of the tasks this time around based on difficulty and realistic timeframe it takes to complete the activity.

I couldn't complete any of my farming guild tasks last league due to the fact that on my very first contract the npc assigned me a seed that could ONLY be achieved as a reward from farming contracts, birds nests, or a rare drop from a specific impling. I finally recieved the correct seed on the final week, but by that time the 10 points from the contracts simply wasn't worth the effort and time to achieve in the late game. The jagex team decided to change how players get access to the lock-pick during the league by making it a raid drop on scavengers. They changed this because it was very difficult / unreasonable to achieve for players initially. When I asked the team if they could help me with my seed problem, the response I finally got was "sorry, that sucks but we can't help you". Seems a little unfair but so is life i suppose. Please just be a little more fair when dealing with your playerbase, I'm not a popular streamer that can convince 100 other people to complain about a problem i'm having to convince you to help fix it. But I am a dedicated League player and I will continue to avidly support the team who puts these events on for us.

May I suggest one of the relics to be one that affects rare valuable drops?

For example, a tier 5 relic would make the following drops 5x (or 10x for rare clue rewards) more likely:

-3rd age/gilded items
-various end game pvm drops such as gwd items, raids 2 items, zulrah fangs etc


I haven't participated in the last leagues, but from the videos I saw, PVM looked like it was very underpowered in terms of league points as opposed to skilling.

Also, question: So the relic 'Skilling Prodigy' that gives +10 permanent in every non combat skill, does that also affect league tasks? So if a task asked you to have 30 farming but you get up to 20 and have that relic activated, will it complete the task?

The third relic seems very good compared to the other 2. If you think about it, in order to reach 99 in all 17 non combat skills, you only actually need to reach 89. That's more than half the xp you need to max just gone. If you combine this one with a future relic that grants double, it would be as if you had 2x5x2 = 20 times xp in almost all skills. In the previous league, you could only achieve this in one category of skills, such as Artisan or gathering. And you could only get this 2x from the tier 5 relic whereas in this case you start with it.

I think nobody would pick 'Production Master' due to ironmen being limited by gathering skills, so please look at that one too.

Other question: In the previous league, all clue steps were locked to Zeah. In this league, will clues be locked to only the areas you have unlocked? The lock would be updated as you unlock more areas.

I've been waiting for the next league since the first one ended. There could have not been a better league idea than gridlocked until you are able to unlock a new area. This will add tons of planning and more of a gameplay than one area.

Good work! :)

@TwistedShark

I can understand that you would feel upset over the fact that they would remove the hiscores page for the twisted league that you worked so hard on ranking highly in. I spent some time playing twisted league as well, knowing fully well that it would all be gone in not too long. I just took some screenshots of it, to remember what I did. They have been complaining about the hiscores page for a long time now, saying it's so much of a nightmare to work with, so them being able to make it as good as it was is already amazing. If they have to reset the one hiscores branch for leagues each year, then that would be fine by me, though I would also prefer if they were able to archive it somehow since it's a completely static hiscore at this point.

The rewards not being worth a lot should speak to how popular leagues were. The fact that they weren't worth more than they were just shows how much people would rather play and have fun in leagues compared to playing the main game. Or the rewards were just not desireable at all, and no one wanted to buy them other than the people who put the time in to get them themselves.

With regards to the tasks, they were well aware of how unbalanced the tasks were compared to how much time they take to complete. They mentioned it probably not even a week in, and said that they didn't want to influence an already ongoing league since people planned around these tasks. Them making an exception to this rule by including lockpicks to scavengers in raids is a bit controversial, but I feel like not a lot of people got upset with it since most people just avoided getting it for a long time, and rather just did other stuff.

The farming contract one was really unfortunate. It was possible to get semistuck on that one and by getting blue dragons as a slayer task before skips, so most people thought ahead and made sure that they didn't get stuck on it by either getting a medium or hard contract and do them no matter what you got.
