Raids rewards blog & beta

Content poll #46

Later on this week we will be releasing Last Man Standing into Old School RuneScape, available for all players to enjoy! The minigame will be available on three worlds, one of which will be free-to-play.Over the course of July we ran several Last Man Standing betas to gather feedback on the minigame. During the three betas we received invaluable feedback from many members of the community, and as a result we've made some substantial changes to the minigame in preparation for release.Let's take a look at some of the changes we've made since the first beta.The first key piece of feedback we wanted to address in Last Man Standing was multi-combat vs single combat. The benefits of multi-combat were that it prevented boxing to stay alive until the last few moments of a game, however the negatives were that the gameplay was undesirable for solo players.After disabling multi-combat in the second beta, we found that players were finding the minigame far more enjoyable and saw a massive increase in the number of people playing. In the final release of Last Man Standing, the entire map will remain single combat as a result of the feedback from the betas.The equipment you can potentially receive within Last Man Standing has been substantially buffed all around. You're now far more likely to get your hands on a starting weapon and the available gear is higher level.Improved gear means quicker fights and more action overall. And, most importantly,Another way to get your hands on higher level gear is via vending shrines. No longer do repeat loots or unlucky chests have to be a total loss. You can trade in your unwanted items in exchange for tokens, spent on the gear you would like.Last year at RuneFest we announced that we would be working on some big new additions for player-owned houses. We mentioned two new types of room and a menu to help you manage your house. These highly anticipated updates will be on their way into Old School later on in August!One of the features which has had the community excited is the new. The house viewer interface allows you to see an overhead view of your house, move rooms, rotate rooms, add rooms and delete rooms.The beauty of this menu is that when moving and rotating most rooms, you won't have to part with the furniture you've built inside it. You can move and rotate rooms while preserving their contents.This menu is still in the pipeline, but we're hoping to have it out later on this month for you to get your hands on.Two new rooms are on their way to player owned houses. The superior garden and achievement gallery are high level rooms, offering some exciting additions to player-owned houses for players with high Construction.The superior garden will require level 65 Construction to create and will offer the following:Requiring level 80 Construction to create, the achievement gallery offers even more very useful additions for your house:Next week we will be releasing a follow-up blog for raids rewards. We'd like to address some of the concerns of the community, as well as making a few tweaks to what was previously offered.To follow this developer blog, we will be running a beta weekend during which you'll be able to try out theand! We will be opening up a tournament world-style world where you will be able to try out the weapons against both other players and some commonly killed monsters.A little later on in the month we'll be running content poll #46. This poll will be packed with your top quality of life requests, as well as any other pieces of content we can fit in.If you have anything you'd like to see appear on content poll #46, let us know! The poll will be coming to a poll booth near you very soon.
