What is up Depthians!

We listened to the feedback from 3.1.0 and put in this feature to help people build more freely.
This allows more freedom than ever before to plan out a build with a rough blueprint of disconnected pieces and then connect it all later. Pressing backspace in build mode de-activates the connection checks. You can then place anything literally anywhere. The connection checks will re-activate if you have been out of build mode for 30 seconds, or if a block is killed by hostile fire. You can save the vehicle with connection checks de-activated so that you can continue your disconnected building over several play sessions or save points.

The change also makes it so that the first disconnection check when a vehicle is loaded will not make blocks fall off but will simply mark them with a warning so that the player can enter build mode, disable connectivity checks, and fix the issues so that the parts never fall out. That change has been made so that we can be a bit more liberal with tidying up the connection logic of some blocks but not create a nightmare situation where the vehicle is loaded and then immediately just falls apart. Note carefully that many of the changes in the change list are for removing the connection surfaces of blocks so that in 3.1.1 some unlucky people are going to have a few designs that need to use this feature to save a few blocks from falling off.

We have also changed the way munition/laser warners and signal jammers work. They no longer need to be connected to the AI and the reason for this is that none of those parts made any usage of the AI mainframe as the munition warning manager and laser warning manager is specific to the vehicle, not an AI mainframe, so they have no reason to be coupled to an AI mainframe any more.
This allows player controlled vehicles without AI to make proper use of all countermeasures ( flare dispensers, interceptors and smoke, etc)".

I thought I should leave some basic instructions / demonstration in regards to the connection check, how to turn on off and what you should keep an eye on.

When you load up the designer mode, by default the connection check and rules are in place and therefore you would not be able to place blocks like the following pic.


In order to deactivate the connection rules, you will need to press "Backspace".
Anything you place that is not allowed, due to the connection rules would be coloured in Magenta and you will also see a warning to the left of your screen.


Once you reactivate the connection rules and you still have something connected that would potentially fall off, you will be warned.


If you come out of build mode, you will notice a timer indicating that the connection rules will be reactivated in X seconds and when it reactivates the Magenta coloured blocks will fall off, unless you pop back into build mode.

• Connection logic is reapplied if a block is killed by damage, or if no one is in build mode on the vehicle for 60 seconds
• If you press backspace in build mode you can disable the connection logic and build freely (even in open space away from any other block).
• The disabling of connection logic can be saved/loaded with the vehicle allowing you to continue building on disconnected vehicles over several play sessions or save/loads or play/pulls

Happy holidays!

Next week's update is absolutely massive - but there's one feature so colossal that it just didn't fit. Find out more about that in the Game News tab, peruse the Patch Notes for some funky fixes and changes, or slide on over to the Community tab to find out how you can peel back the wrapping on next week's holiday update.

Right, grab your best gear - we're going in!



The star of this week's show is Raksha, the Shadow Colossus of Orthen. He's a big mean monster absolutely oozing with shadow anima - so to help you prepare, here's everything you need to know.


You already know some of the history of Orthen. The creation of the varanusaurs, the downfall of the dragonkin race, the secret of shadow anima... now it's time to put it all together, and awaken the ancient terror lurking deep in the ruins.

Adventurers who reckon they're able to contain Raksha's immense power will find themselves rolling in rewards, but beware - our latest solo and duo boss sits somewhere between Araxxor and Telos in terms of difficulty, so you'll need to come prepared.


How to Start

• Speak to Laniakea in the ruins to the south-east to set out on a miniquest that'll lead you right to Raksha's lair.

Requirements

• Access to Anachronia
  
• RuneScape membership
  
• We also recommend a Combat level of 120, and at least tier 80 gear

If you're tough enough to take on the shadow colossus and survive, you'll find numerous rewards waiting for you - including tier 80 boots for all combat styles and a mini Raksha to call your own.

Raksha also has the chance to drop three abilities, two of which are upgrades to existing actions.

Greater Chain

Greater Chain is an upgrade for the Chain ability. It'll hit the primary target and two secondary targets within a six square radius for 20-100% ability damage. Plus, 50% of the next Magic hit against the primary target within six seconds will also be dealt to both secondary targets.

One last thing - Greater Chain also stacks with the Caroming perk, so if you're a skilled Inventor you'll basically be an unstoppable killing machine. Enjoy!

Greater Ricochet

Greater Ricochet is an upgrade for the Ricochet ability. Just like Greater Chain, it'll hit your primary target and two nearby secondary targets for 20-100% ability damage, and it stacks with the Caroming perk.

Here's the big difference: for each secondary target the ability doesn't find, your primary target will take an additional hit for 10-50% ability damage. So if you're taking on a tough beastie on its lonesome, this is the ability you'll want to bring along.

Divert

Divert is a brand-new ability that requires 48 Defence and an equipped shield to use. When active, the next attack dealt to you within six seconds will convert the damage you would have taken to adrenaline, letting you wind up your next move that much faster.

Divert has a 30 second cooldown which it shares with Resonance.

Even if you don't luck out right away, Raksha has loads of great basic drops - so he's well worth taking on, if you've got the skill.


Titles that had a unique option based on your character's gender can now be used regardless of which character model you're currently using.

To change your title to one of these new, exciting options, head to the Title screen under the Customisations interface.


Still stuck for ideas this Christmas? We've got some new additions in the store for you to think about, with free shipping as well as free mystery keyring offers!

First up there's a kickass Dragon Mail tee. It's subtle, but undeniably RuneScapey - so it's perfect for sneaking into Christmas card photos.



Don't forget - these three super-luxe deskmat designs are still in stock and on sale! They'll not only make your desk look stylish, they'll also neatly cover up all the crumbs from the mince pies you've been munching.

Spend over £30/$50 and get a free mystery keyring, spend over £80/$100 and get free shipping.



See all these wondrous gifts, along with loads of other RuneScape goodies, in the Official Merch Store. See you there!

We're taking on Raksha, the Shadow Colossus of Orthen, in a no-holds-barred battle - and streaming the whole lot! Hopefully we survive, or this is going to look very embarrassing in hindsight.

We love this moody piece from Legend Arts, entitled 'Fremennik'. What kind of legendary beast do you think this grizzled warrior is about to face down?



Glacyte's taken the amazing technicolour Courier Outfit to its natural conclusion with this fabulous set of jackets in every colour of the rainbow. Which holiday jacket is your favourite? We're rather partial to Halloween.



The jolly folks at the Pink Skirts are continuing their annual Christmas events tradition for RuneScape, except this year is already shaping up to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever before!

This year they're not the only ones donning their santa hats - they've teamed up with the Minigames community to bring you 12 Days of Christmas fun!

There are a whopping 54 different events to attend between December 12th and December 24th, and there may be even more yet to come!

Much like last year, you may be lucky enough to receive an Event Card, which you can exchange for in-game rewards like stars and lamps. But that's not all - the J-Mods will be joining in the fun too, along with some well-known community members.

Sharpen your swords, prepare your Thaler pouch, and keep a close eye on the in-game calendar to find out what's in store!


This week you can join the Pink Skirts for a few games of Barbarian Assault! If you're still working towards the 'Master of Assault' Achievement, then this might just be the push you need!

To join in the fun, meet Frostcaping and Clan Quest this Saturday, December 12th from 21:00 to 22:00 Game Time on World 66 at the Barbarian Assault lobby.

For more information, add Frostcaping to your Friends' List, or check out the Pink Skirts page.

By the by, Clan Quest hosts twice-weekly minigame events - so if you've got a favourite, be sure to check their page and see when it's in the spotlight!


The RuneScape Team

Thank you so much for the feedback! The fresh pairs of eyes are revealing some things that are in need of fixing.

Released UPDATE 1.0.57
- fixed the issue with Fast Travel Menu not switching back to regular behavior after the Dream Sequence, thus all location links still were pointing to Dream Sequence and not the original locations;
- the Hero now should not get stuck upon climbing "out of the water".

Known Issues
AVG Antivirus is throwing false positive on game's executable. It's a known issue for a lot of games [apparently] - just define the .exe as exception withing AVG. Nothing we can do here.

Upcoming UPDATE 1.0.58
- working on getting stuck in Loading Level Loop.
