Would be cool to see more things for 1 def pures/alternate account builds. The 3 tick cards could have the negative accuracy buffs removed so they are a reskin of the goblin event RPG. I would love a ranged weapon that uses ranged stat/gives STR xp that has a faster attack rate(1.8s) for my War Hammer pure so I can use range in non-bounty hunter world and not worry about leveling range. Or paying 1-5m to stop getting XP on mage/range in wild only. The Warhammer 1 attack update was great, I made an account for it, but since then there are some quality of life features that could make the build more fun to run. Outside of BH/PVP world it just gets outclassed by basic 1 def pures. Would also love more 1 def pure content/items in general, maybe some new armor that drops from existing mobs that has different stats or gives pures more gear. Even something like a new armor set that increases damage taken but gives small str bonus (much lower than fighter torso for example) or something that gives 1% range STR. Someone mentioned on reddit a while back about making chivalry have no def requirement so pures can use it. This could be a cool update as well. Can't wait for official HD : )

@@RSAnimism Alt1 is extremely limited, it doesnt work with 4k because it doesnt work with interface scaling and the developers of alt1 have gone on record to say they will never implement interface scaling. Alt1 just reads your screen which also makes it buggy and finicky. Also, alt1 does have a quest helper.

[@Nullref_Arcana]

@@tsgsomething5228 exactly this. Alt1 is a screen reader and does not read game packets. Tile marking has near zero chance of being implemented, xp tracker requires the xp window to be open. God forbid you move any element of the ui while active, and you cannot remap L click options at all

[@MrLinuxFreak]

its possible to play on linux with jagex launcher and runelite you just dont know how to use linux I think

[@spaenny]

@@MrLinuxFreak That is a bold statement to make. Yes, it is possible to play using the official Jagex launcher through Wine, but that means sacrificing performance. We are seeking a native solution. If you do have some alternative way enlighten us.

[@MerlinUsesCtrl]

@@MrLinuxFreak Runelite is easily possible as they have a Linux client, yet doesn't support Jagex account. Both can easily be launched via wine or proton...

RS3 is made on more modern tech and so it's much harder to expose a plugin API. You realize most of osrs was understood by bot makers right? Osrs is a laughably easy game to decode. This update's work was 85% completed my bot and plugin enthusiasts. RS3 just isn't as straight forward to decode. Chicken and egg problem

One thing I worry about is plugin/client support as the official client eventually takes centre stage. Currently, if you have any issues or questions about RuneLite plugins/client, their support channel on discord is always active and you will usually get a helpful response within minutes, if not seconds. Hopefully we will have a similar resource for the official client and not some sort of ticket/email system.

I like what I hear, a plugin API is basically necessary for the Official Client to compete with RuneLite. Keep up the good work. One thing I'd like to ask is for you to eventually get around to supporting Linux on the launcher and the new Official Client, it is the only thing really making me hesitate transferring my account to a Jagex Account - going from full native compatibility to needing to use translation layers(with no guarantee of a fix should it break) is a regression that feels bad.

[@fenrirIO]

I've been using the bolt launcher on linux for almost a year now and it has been working wonderfully. Of course, I want an official linux version as well, but as it stands now, that is a viable option.

[@pkilljoy5797]

im using a steam deck and have no problem using the jagex launcher, theres plenty of info on it if you actually care sure its not 'native' support, but it took me 2 minutes

[@gxgx55]

@@pkilljoy5797 of course, I am not saying it doesn't work right now, it does and I am using it on my newest account. I am just concerned about the lack of support or obligation should something happen. This is true both with the launcher(being the only entry way to the game with a Jagex Account) and the new client, which inevitably seems that it'll be taking over, considering Jagex has shown they understand what they need to do to supersede RL eventually. That is overall very positive but I just want to keep being able to play without worry like I always have with old accounts and Java-based clients.

This is great, very exciting updates! One thing I feel is annoying with the official client is not being able to change settings without opening the settings menu. Especially when I want to change something visual, I'd had to keep opening and closing the settings menu, searching for the setting, modifying it and comparing the different options. If using Runelite this can all be done from the sidebar. There is a sidebar in the official client as well, but if I try to open the settings of my loot tracker, for example, it pulls up the in game settings. It might seem trivial now but this is going to get more and more tedious the more settings and plugins are added to the game.

Idea for jagex. If you receive a potion drop from a monster and you have the same potions currently within your inventory, a setting to toggle so as you loot your drop a message shows as “you carefully pour the contents of the potion into your vials” or something.. basically if you have a 2 dose prayer pot and you receive a 2 dose potion as a drop, your pot just becomes a 4 dose as you’re looting
