Mobile Revamp

 

We've pushed a pretty significant update to the Android client. The app now uses your phone's GPU instead of the CPU for rendering, meaning graphics will scale properly to your device, no more pixelated mess. We're looking into bringing this across to the web client as well.

Alongside that we've added a plugin hub to both Android and Web, with the following plugins available:

• Agility
• Ammo
• Animation...

Elite Ironman Mode

A new challenge awaits Elite Ironman is a strict new game mode for players who want a truly self-sufficient experience — with most pay-to-win shortcuts removed. Only Realism or Hard experience modes are available.

Restricted items & services

• Bond Shop: UMBs, SMBs, MBs, reward caskets, prayer scrolls, thread of elidinis, imbued heart, dragon boots, fire & infernal cape, ava's assembler, and dragon defender
• AFK Shop: Mystery Boxes are restricted
• Grand Exchange & player trading are completely disabled
• Wilderness Supply Chest cannot be looted
• The Lottery cannot be entered
• Collection Log mystery box rewards are disabled
• Any restricted items purchased via the store will automatically convert back into bonds

• Donator ranks now influence drop rate bonuses — the specific rates for each rank can be found in the Donator Benefits post on the forums.
• Experience Modes now contribute to drop rate bonuses, with Hard Mode granting a 5% increase and Realism granting a 10% increase.
• The Bestiary will now display the updated drop rates based on what your boosts are automatically!

A new section has been added to the Quest Tab displaying your current unique drop rate bonus at a glance.

Admins are now able to dynamically boost unique drop rates via a command, which will broadcast a server-wide notification to all players — similar to the existing boost announcements for custom drop systems like Raids. This previously required manual handling.

General Adjustments
