A welcome addition for sure :)

I did say this on Discord, but I would personally use the heal over time buff if it didn't require the avatar being out like it does currently. Is that something that could change if enough feedback was given? I would assume the reason why it's barely use currently was due to the previous thing I mentioned.
The heal over time buff worked because you were limited to 3 avatars, and thus the heal range worked like that.

IF and this is a big IF, I was to bring it back the heal over time would probably work on the player only, I'll have to have a look and see how it all worked before. Mod Shauny - RuneScape Community Management - Goebies! - @JagexShauny

I saw discussion in discord about increasing the kick limit for the leadership ranks within clans. I wanted to talk about it more.

The suggestion was if it can't be made customizable, then it would be possibly hard set to:
Admin - 2 kicks/day
Organizer - 3
Coordinators - 4
Overseers - 5
Deputy - 10
Owner - Unlimited

I firmly believe if it can't be customizable, then everyone needs to have more discussion before going on with a hard set of numbers. Our clans are not set up the same in how ranks are done and the people within our ranks despite having the same rank settings to work with, we all could sit here all day and explain how our clans are run and what settings would help for use each individually....but the bigger concern is it's not the type of update that can just be released without warning and we just adjust to. We would need time to plan and assess our rank set ups to accommodate the change and all clans would have to be well informed, not just the experienced ones or ones paying attention. Looking out for the new up and coming clans, it is hard to be a clan leader and a sudden change like this is hard enough on an experienced clan leader, but could be upsetting for a new clan with a young leader still learning the ropes if they aren't informed it is coming first. I would like to see a change made but please please don't rush it. It will impact the game community a lot. /\

The avatar changes look good on the whole, thanks! Big fan of the buff to skill plot and allowing people to grab it on a more personal basis, plus not restricting to rank any longer.

So, am I reading correctly that there will be a single avatar appearance per clan, rather than the 1-3 that clans currently have? Would be a shame to see two have to go, since they take on a personality of their own. But at the end of the day, something I'd give up for the rest of the benefits. :P

Also, having heal over time is nice but I understand the balancing concerns. Really the only places we've used it over the last almost two years have been at Corp & Soul Obelisks. So, looking at it with either a personal side attached (as you mentioned) or some other item(s)/follower(s) in the niche spots it does get used could be an alternative too. I'm sure you all would have better data on that side than my anecdotal view.


Then the changes to allow using vex/cloak to give one to someone else is a very welcome change. It was always a pain to have to explain where clan camp is or "Meet me at Port Sarim and I'll just show you" side. Allows to easier explain and make sure that people have one this way.

I'm pretty neutral on the broadcasts, but as long as they're toggled I don't mind. We personally would turn them off since we mess with the locks pretty much daily. Don't really need a This plot/goal has been locked, goals met, etc. Just personal preference though! I'm in no condition to post. Wait a minute - I don't have to listen to myself! I'm drunk

Saw that the kick limit was mentioned on Discord and a couple places on CLF now, not sure what kind of stage that is at. I know for our clan we would personally not like those changes, nor would many clans that I communicate with. If it was customizable as Jigzag mentioned, it would be much better.

We never have reason to kick anywhere near 10 or even 3 or 4 people in a given day. With a clan size of 105, that's a significant percent of our clan that could be hassled by someone who would be wielding much more power than we had intended as a leadership group. We would maybe up the limit on Deputy Owner only, we wouldn't want Organizers, Coordinators, etc to have that extra limit. It just serves no purpose and it was never a consideration when we were looking at people for those ranks.

I can understand for a much larger clan that those types of numbers may make more sense, but for many clans they're simply much too high. If there was a way to toggle the amount as an Owner I could be for an update like that. If it had to be a blanket number, however, I would be very much opposed to the numbers as current.

This is just in our case - but I wouldn't want Deputy above 5, Overseer/Coord/Org above 3, and Admin above 1 (even though it's already 2, I believe?). And that's going to vary from clan to clan so much in general. I'm in no condition to post. Wait a minute - I don't have to listen to myself! I'm drunk

More information can be found here . There will be no "single" clan avatar, per se. In summary.

- Clans with a Avatar Habitat are no longer capped to three Avatars, each player can now have one each if they wish (as a pet)
- All clan members will be able to at least attune to the Habitat for the XP or Skill Plot Boost, if they get to Fealty 1, 2 or 3 they'll receive a XP boost of 4/5/6% respectively. Avatar pet need not be summoned to receive either buff.
- Avatars will gather while summoned as pets in the Citadel, gathering the currently set resource, up to a weekly maximum shared by the clan which scales based on the Habitat tier

No, I get that. But for the pet option, rather than the 3 avatars (and their given appearances) would it just be a single option for all to have?

I'm meaning the one that could then be customized at the Avatar Control Stone that was mentioned. I understand the rest of the how they will work side. I'm in no condition to post. Wait a minute - I don't have to listen to myself! I'm drunk

The appearance you set on the Avatar will now be applied across to all of them as there's only "one" avatar now. Mod Shauny - RuneScape Community Management - Goebies! - @JagexShauny
