Great changes (both the ones released and the forthcoming ones), cheers! The hiscores in particular are a nice touch; I hope they can be added for other, existing minigames as well. For example, lifetime honour points per BA role, lifetime void commendations earnt, bottles of rum deposited, Burthorpe Games rating per game, and so on. Would be a good incentive to revitalise the less popular games, too. (And, if the website team has the time, please separate bosses from minigames.)

Time to have more fun with GotR! Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Hello! First off, great changes that are up and coming. Can't wait to see them implemented. Also looking forward to the Ideation stream!

Now, I think one of the issues that should definitely be addressed is people are currently not allowed to create guardians and shield barriers before the countdown finishes. Maybe 30 seconds or a bit more before the countdown finishes. People want XP and points, so a lot of them will refrain from building guardians and barriers if they are gonna suffer consequences in this regard.

Not helping out at the start makes lots of player essentially leech the game, which causes games to fail, because not enough people are helping out. This is frustrating for everyone involved. I think just allowing the barriers and guardians to be set up before the countdown finishes will be great a solution that would lead to many happy Scapers. Road to max ongoing!

Interesting; how do you leech games? Points (and xp) are awarded based on your own contribution, not others', right? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Since this update/change... A.Pearls are even harder to get.. At one point turned in about 20/30 points and got maybe, MAYBE one pearl drop. also that player cap should be increased, even it out by making the guardian Power needed increase, similar with temporas.

Can there be a exit warning on the barrier once inside the minigame? It happens too many times that if you (finally) enter the barrier you misclick out of it again. If there would be a warning asking you 'are you sure you want to exit?' that'd be great!

There already is! You can safely spamclick to try to get it without having to worry about accidentally exiting.

That said, it's extremely frustrating having to miss several rounds because you cannot get it... We need more worlds, simultaneous games or a queuing system like Pest Control has. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !
