Misc Bugs / Changes

Quote

The below were patched with the last update (2 weeks ago), but were never publicly posted so they're listed here now:

  • Fixed blue phoenix counting as a level 2 man with a drop table
  • You can no longer be assigned dt2 bosses without the 85 slayer requirement on them
  • Claiming rewards like comp cape / zuk helm via the combat achievement interfaces now sends to bank vs inventory
  • Using the tournament spectating orb no longer prevents you from re-equipping items
  • HCIM can no longer gain the 2 new lives they receive at 1k / 2k total while in a tournament that levelled you up temporarily
  • Added a few new bomb positions and windmill spikes to ToA to prevent a safe spot found
  • Only the CoX party leader can now scale the CoX raid up
  • The large muttadile in CoX now uses smart pathing to avoid being stuck/safespotted in a specific square
  • You can no longer enable on a diet invocation and still drink CoX specific raid pots
  • Death charge now correctly resets if used then quickly logging out

New

  • Reduced the number of alchable resources the low level revenants can drop by 50% (medium and high are unchanged) 
  • Fixed a visual bug with drops of multiple of the same item only spawning 1 in specific regions (adamant dragons only showing 1 adamant bar drop, but entering/leaving the area would show the next adamant bar if it dropped 5 for example. very niche and specific re-creation)
  • Fotifying masori armour pieces no longer requires double the armadylean plates that it does on OSRS (was also correct on dmm world) - this was an economy balancing reason but I think it's clear range has the biggest disadvantage and so this makes sense to remove
  • Increased phantom muspah's respawn speed by 2.5x
    • Replaced some damage getting nulled within transition phases with a min damage
  • Updated Nex's drop table viewer to reflect a solo kill result
  • Corrected a bug with sanguinesti staff's protection value
  • Removed clue scrolls from the general store as it felt too 'custom'
  • Added fishing as a key word search for Piscatoris
  • Corrected base dragon bolts not having any ranged strength, tipped/enchanted were correct
  • Corrected being able to craft multiple crystal keys without free space
  • Corrected bloodthirsty mutated bloodvelds xp amount
  • Removed a restriction preventing you from entering a friend's kbd instance
  • The boosted stats from production prodigy now count to making spirit shields and divine rune pouches
  • Updated James' pricing history data for the past 2 weeks

    • Corrected this, was set to roll the % chance twice resulting in half the successes
  • Jade: Leagues 3 buff for wintertodt like l4
    • This is too custom and I dislike merging the Leagues together, they should have their own respective benefits/trade offs, so they will remain near 1:1 with osrs

    • You can now extend your current instance from within the quest tab - no need to leave the instance to do it!

  • haydncoxy: Full inv with blood torture running out

  • Army: Take gp from bank instead of inv at g.e / shops
    • Added to all of the shops at home, but excluded the skill cape shop as even on osrs you need to take gp for these capes
    • Added to the Trading Post/GE
    • Payment will attempt to withdraw from the inventory, and the bank will be used as a backup source if you don't have the full amt
  • Bluejay: Wildy BH target tp change
    • If your BH target uses the target teleport you will now receive a message in chat as they teleport in

    • The craftsmen 4x cook food speed
      • This isn't part of the craftsmen so it won't be added

    • Lowered the comp cape requirement from 100 to 98
    • Added complete a total of 150 raids requirement to comp cape

 

Project Rebalance - OSRS

Quote

Magic damage boost on equipment revised to match osrs:

  • Occult Necklace: Magic damage reduced from 10% to 5%
  • Ancestral Robes set pieces: Magic damage per piece increased from 2% to 3%
    • Virtus Robes set pieces: Magic damage per piece increased from 3% to 4% (custom on Vulcan due to dt2 bosses)
  • The following items have had their Magic damage per piece increased from 0 to 1%:
    • Infinity Robes.
    • Dagon'hai Robes.
    • 3rd Age Mage Armour
    • Ahrim's Robes.
    • Elder Chaos Druid Robes
    • Bloodbark Armour
  • Eternal Boots: Magic damage increased from 0 to 1%
  • Mage's Book: Magic damage increased from 0 to 2%
  • Ancient Wyvern Shield: Magic damage increased from 0 to 2%
  • Malediction Ward: Magic damage increased from 0 to 2%
  • Arcane Spirit Shield: Magic damage increased from 0 to 3%
  • Seers' Ring and Seers' Ring (i): Magic damage increased from 0 to 1%
  • Elite Void Mage Set bonus: Magic damage increased from 2.5% to 5%

Prayers revised to match osrs:

  • Augury: Magic damage while active increased from 0 to 4%
  • Mystic Might: Magic damage while active increased from 0 to 2%
  • Mystic Lore: Magic damage while active increased from 0 to 1%
  • (Ruinous Prayers) Vaporise increased from 25% to 28% accuracy and 4% to 6% mage damage

MageSummary.png

Weapons revised to match osrs:

  • Elder maul - as discussed in a previous blog this will come with the Fortis Colosseum / Araxxor update planned for early October
  • Inquisitors armour - provides 0.5% per piece to attack and strength, with 1% for the full set. Now boosts to 2.5% per piece of the mace is equipped
  • Ancient godsword - healing from successful Blood Sacrifice special attack now heals for 15% of the target's maximum HP, up to a 25 HP cap (instead of a set 25)

Other:

  • On successful hit (you passed the accuracy check), damage rolls of a 0 are 'clamped' up to a 1. This is mainly geared towards new accounts who could pass the accuracy check but then had 50% chance to roll 0 and 50% chance to roll a 1.
  • Reduced the drain rate of Thick Skin, Burst of Strength, Clarity of Thought, Sharp Eye and Mystic Will from 5 points per minute to 1 point per minute
  • Adjusted Sharp Eye and Burst of Strength to boost your Ranged and Strength levels by +1 respectively if they're lower than 20
  • When selecting the Autocast option on a staff and then clicking an NPC, there’s a 1-tick delay before your first attack actually fires. This was never the case on Vulcan and so I can now call this bug a matching feature of osrs

Elemental Magic Weaknesses

For every percentage point of Elemental Weakness that an NPC has, your spells of that element will gain +1% Accuracy and +1% damage. This means if your max hit on Dharoks was 30, it would become 45 with the new elemental weaknesses and a wind spell.

  • Fire Weakness
    • Zulrah - 50%
    • Abyssal Portal (Vespula room) - 50%
    • Ice Giants, Ice Trolls - 100%
    • Ice Warriors, Icefiends - 100%
  • Water Weakness
    • K'ril Tsutsaroth - 30%
    • Demonic Gorilla - 35%
    • Cerberus - 40%
    • Black Demon - 40%
    • Hellhounds - 50%
    • Greater Demon - 50%
    • Chromatic dragons (green up to black, including Vorkath) - 50%
    • Fire Giants - 100%
  • Earth Weakness
    • Metallic dragons (bronze up to rune) - 50%
  • Wind Weakness
    • Kree'arra - 30%
    • Skeletons - 35%
    • Demonic Gorilla - 35%
    • Aviansies - 45%
    • Black Demon - 40%
    • Barrows Brothers - 50%
    • Ghosts - 50%

Looking backwards

Quote

Who doesn't love statistics?!

Vulcan Economy Update

  • I've broken up July into the first 2 & last 2 weeks to really show how much of a positive impact our recent Blackjack update has had - as of writing this it's removed more than 140b in raw gp from our economy, which equates to approx. 11% of all of the coins in the game.
  • Obviously GP enters the game faster than all of our GP sinks combined (as a normal healthy economy does). but I think this shows how incredibly well managed the economy has been since our inception to prevent major inflation or detrimental impacts to new players starting their journey
  • And due to this tightly managed economy & fair drop rates, we are able to utilize the GE Bot to remove tons of items players sell on the GE everyday, ensuring nobody (especially newer players) complain that their items don't sell - and more importantly that the GE bot adding raw GP to the game is removed just as quickly through all of the gp sinks we have!
  • The only negative thing I will state here is players are heavily influenced by small trends / merchers and so below I'm addressing how I'll be displaying more GE data to prevent people saying items are 'crashing' only for my logs to show they're actually the ones buying that item out as people list it for lower prices

Leagues Account Choices

  • Since our launch of Leagues 4 lets take a look at what's been the most popular relic choices!

image.thumb.png.57976a713c19568bf61d15ee3a439df3.png

Leagues Breakdowns

  • At the launch of Leagues 4, all existing accounts were Leagues 3, and so the below shows the trend it's taken over the past few months
  • However I will note, over the past 8 weeks the % of players actively playing Leagues 3 has increased from 9% to 19%, indicating the Leagues 3 updates have been well received

Looking forwards

Quote

Below are some of the bigger sized updates (from 1-2 days to 1-2 weeks per item) I plan to bring to Vulcan over the next 3 month period. The order is the priority, but doesn't mean that'll be the order they release in.

Today's update also marks our 21st update in 24 weeks since Leagues 4 was added, and it's amazing to see we continue to hit all time records every weekend lately.

  1. Projectile timings for whisperer & the leviathan
    • Although the timing is correct, the visual queue to react to can look 'off' if you're actively running closer/further to the boss. Although this isn't hugely detrimental it's something I'd like to fix (especially as new bosses come to the game like Colosseum where projectile timings are also important)
  2. GE History price interface 
    • Plan is to add a new custom interface which will display a lot more data than our current scroll. This will allow me to display;
      • Recent purchases/sales and the player's associated
      • More accurate data (median instead of just averages which can be heavily skewed)
      • Price ranges on items (+/- 10% of the most common pricing)
      • Live updating vs fortnightly data updates
  3. Events interface
    • As our server wide events continue to expand, it is now time to add a proper interface that displays each event and it's current status / time remaining
  4. Ability to swap in/out GIM players without them needing to wait for a server restart
    • Although I make my position clear on GIM not being a real game mode and it just being a main with extra steps (lol) (especially when you see how many tickets we get per week to remove people / kick inactive players) as we continue to grow waiting ~6 days to be removed from your group has fallen out of acceptable timing and so this will be solved soon.
  5. GE Buy offers
    • One of the most requested changes has not fallen on deaf ears and is on the radar to come in the coming months
  6. Deadman Mode - September
    • All suggestions & changes implemented for our September run of Deadman Mode, with the possibility of adding the biggest prize pool rsps has ever seen (tbc)
  7. Revision upgrade + all of the new OSRS content
    • All updates from February 2024 onwards will come with our next 'major' patch - I'm currently expecting to do it in ~September and release it early October, with the main reason being I want Varlamore part 2 to release prior to doing it. With Araxxor being announced for the end of this month, I am now only holding off for the final item, but if it does not come prior to mid September we will update and just push Varlamore p2 to the next revision update which would probably be December.
    • With this Vulcan will get:
      • Zombie axe
      • Warped sceptre
      • Forestry
      • Varlamore
        • Fortis Colosseum minigame + Dizana's quiver
        • Hunter's guild
        • Moons of Peril + Blood, Blue & Eclipse moon armor sets
      • Undead pirates
      • Project rebalance (mostly done today, but missing elder maul special attack)
      • New content from Deadman Mode Armageddon 
      • WGS / Tormented demons / tormented synapse amulet
      • Araxxor new slayer boss - 28th of August
      • Varlamore part 2 - new herblore activity & hailstorm mountain group boss- No date

 

Desert Treasure 2 - Pet Perks

Quote

Vardorvis (Butch)

  • Now has a 4% chance to roll 1 of the below 2 attacks from Vardorvis:
    • Axe swing - dealing 3 swing hits and applying bleed damage
    • Ground spike - dealing 1 major hit
  • As both of these attacks are positional based at Vardorvis, they work the same in pvm. If your boss steps away from them, the damage will not hit

qlWjBXB.gif

KhoTR3H.gif

Duke Sucellus (Baron)

  • Now has a 4% chance to cover your target in bile, dealing 5 poison splats across 5 ticks, indicated by the Duke ice spike 

NXAWWyy.gif

The Whisperer (Wisp)

  • Now has a 4% chance to shoot 3 projectiles magic or ranged based at your target, indicated by the wisp's animations

6xaOGMO.gif

The Leviathan (Lil'viathan)

  • Now has a 4% chance to file the electric based ball attack, dealing major damage to the position
  • As this attack is positional based at Leviathan, it works the same in pvm. If your target steps away, the damage will not hit

The pet upgrade costs for the 4 new pets can be found on the pet info page:

 

Blackjack - Review and changes

Quote

Blackjack odds have now settled with the house edge around 2.4% (if people play perfect strategy)

  • This has been decreased to 2% as we've now lowered the amount of decks used from 6 to 4
  • Added some additional global stats to the blackjack board
  • Fixed the highest win/loss streak not updating on the global board
  • Removed the statistic that shows how much GP has been removed overall as players were using this to claim item prices were dropping so they could buy them cheaper

Weekly Boss Speed Run - New Format

Quote
  • This coming week the speed run will be very different - in fact, it won't be a speed run at all!
  • Introducing 'Weekly boss challenges' - a different challenge every week, selecting from:
    • Fastest boss kill time in seconds/minutes
    • Lowest GP load out value used to kill the boss
    • Lowest combat level to defeat the boss
    • Longest time survived against the boss
  • And to ensure some of these challenges remain open to all, you will not have your challenge result recorded if you used a pet during the attempt! This means it should come down purely to your relic choices and skill/luck
