New updates?

As of today, shops in RuneScape are now personalised for every player. The amount of stock you see in each shop is now unique to your account and, therefore, no longer affected by the actions of other players.
This has a number of advantages:

* Most importantly, it allows us to relax the price limits on the Grand Exchange. For somewhat complicated reasons, it means it is safe for us to drop the minimum price for many items, and raise the maximum price for some items. This means many items will no longer have their price set against an artificial limit, allowing prices to move more freely and better match player supply and demand. Similarly, many items that are popular for high-alching have had their lower limits relaxed to make the Grand Exchange work more smoothly.
* It means shops no longer have to offer unlimited stock to meet everyone's needs. Because each player sees their own stock, we can put in more realistic stock behaviour, where the stock (and price) goes up and down as you buy and sell, without worrying about one player buying out all the stock and depriving everyone else. Unlimited stock has weird effects on the economy of the game, and getting rid of it is vital for being able to relax the Grand Exchange price limits. Don’t worry, the stock is still very generous and should be plenty to supply ordinary play – particularly for items that you might need in greater numbers (e.g. arrows, runes and other consumables will be available in higher quantities than items like armour, tools and weapons).
* Shops may now be more worth selling your items to. A general store will never be full of other players’ unwanted items and specialist stores may offer better prices when they are low on stock. This means they are more useful for converting ‘junk’ items into cash, because each player has their own separate allowance for how much they can sell into the shop before the price drops.

With this personalising of shop stocks, we realised that it would negate some of the rewards earned from the Varrock and Karamja Achievement Diaries, so we’ve substituted them for other rewards.

The majority of Karamja diary’s easy reward is that you get better prices from Karamja’s shops. We couldn’t take this reward away without replacing it, so we have added Dell Monti, a pirate with a passion for pineapples, who will freely share his fruity bounty with you on a daily basis (if you are wearing your Karamja gloves).

Varrock diary’s smaller reward regarding shop prices is replaced with a greater possibility of obtaining skull sceptre parts from creatures in the Stronghold of Security, as well as doubling the charges it has if you make it while wearing your Varrock armour. Please note that the reward for buying battlestaves from Zaff while wearing Varrock armour has not been affected by this update in any way.

Is this good, bad, or doesn't matter?

I wasn't sure if this affected anything?

 

fuck em they keep making graphics better and this affected me in pvp i couldnt see the lvls fro the stupid circle that comes and i clicked dbow spec on a 100+

 

I logged into bounty hunter world, and my screen was black and died.

 

wtf this is bs... the "standard detail" is now high detail? i liked the old settings i dont want high detail... am i wrong about this? they ruin the game... thats why i barely play anymore

 

Zanaris ruby alching got nerfed =) There's like 10 in stock for 2k each lmfao

 

You're right about it, I hate the new "standard detail".. When you go to spec, you have to go to the bottom, and quickly switch to inventory to eat etc.. and the graphics look weird.. way to go Jagex! Maybe they should ask for suggestions before they make an update like this ..

EDIT: If you go to tools, and hit the screen size, the inventory, etc is the same, just different graphics. Didn't know if anyone knew this.

 

This is dumb. BRING BACK 2007! ;p

 

I am very mad, but I am simply just going to say this. What the fuck? Why is my screen black. I can't even play on high detail. God damn.

 

The updates suck. The ads when loading the game slows down loading, and I fucking pay for no ads. That makes me mad they take advantage of their members like that. Also, the cursors are bad, and the high detail as a standard sucks; it makes everything laggy. Many complaints of the drop option in the bank, too...

 

High-detail for me is totally fine..other than not being able to see my inventory/ all icons are stretched.

Why can't they just leave it alone, or at least make sure it all works first.

 

yea this is bullshit, i always played the lowest of the low in detail just to get a little glimps of the old rs, and now i hate this new inventory way where theyr all cramped together. is their anyway to return it to the normal way in the setting?

 

yea fuck those updates now i ewen cand pk geting big lags!

 

The only thing I dont like about this update was trhe ruby ring alching and the tabs being in a line on the bottom...I keep misclicking lol XD

 

LOL every single specialty shop won't sell me a damn thing
I can't even get gems from the gem trader in Al Kharid....
WEAK update

 

It's the same for me before the update.

Just fix your screen ..

tools>graphic options > screen sizing > fix

 

lol you guys are dumb. standard detail is the same. all you gotta do is change the screen size b4 u logg in

 

I've been waiting for that for about 2 years.

GF zanaris alchers, get with it like us old-schoolers.

 

Yesterday, standard wasn't the same. They changed it recently.

 

No way... I wont believe till i see it.

 

omfg man i hate jagex so much sometimes.
