TL;DW 216 - Q&A + August - The Month Ahead
« on: August 03, 2016, 15:20:03 »
Mining and Smithing Postponement
  • We plan on releasing it next year now.
Reasons:
  • Lack of feedback from players (Jagex's Fault)
  • Combat Drops
  • Crystal Pickaxe/Hatchet
  • People wanted Mining Shafts
  • Masterwork Smithing appearing complicated.
Future Development
  • Make it enjoyable since nobody was excited for it.
  • Make it simplistic.
  • More discussions with the players.
  • Make it feel completed on launch.

August Update Schedule
  • 8th: Wilderness Improvements
  • 15th: The Beach
  • 22nd: Patch Week
  • 30th: Skilling Pets + Catherby & Whitewolf Mountain Graphical Rework

Other
