  1. Come back as a writer if you ever decide to do so - if you didn't notice, we have a newsletter out and currently looking for writers through Media Team.

    Should you continue using the image, then I would use larger font or make the image larger.  I would definitely do it if you're posting it elsewhere- you want it to be easy for people to look at it; otherwise: They wont.  Treat it like a resume.

    For this, I can say that this will be improved in June's newsletter. Everything at its beginning isn't always perfect. At least, we're finally making this a thing.

    Bryophyta: The Moss Giant Boss 

    This week sees the release of Bryophyta, the new Moss Giant boss available to both members and free-to-play. Alongside that are your usual round of bug fixes whilst we continue development on the Chambers of Xeric: Challenge Mode, which will be ready for release very soon.

    Bryophyta

    Deep in the confines of the Varrock Sewers, a giant Moss Giant lurks... Get your hands on a Mossy key and take on Bryophyta, the newly discovered Moss Giant boss! 

    Bryophyta is an ancient and mystical giant Moss Giant who resides within the Varrock sewers, located to the east of Vannaka and near the Deadly red spiders. She is a mid-level boss and in order to enter her lair, players must first obtain a Mossy key from a Moss Giant. A Mossy key can be obtained from any Moss Giant, though if you have one as your current Slayer task you'll have an increased chance of receiving one. Each key can only be used once.

    Upon entering her lair, you find yourself in an instanced room where the fight will begin. Make sure you come prepared however, as Bryophyta won't go down easily! Unlike other Moss Giants, she has a number of unique attacks and abilities you'll have to watch out for, such as a rather nasty poison effect!

    As with Obor's instance, death within the instance will cause you to lose your items. Hardcore Ironmen beware, she will take your status too.

    For those of you looking to face against Bryophyta head on, we'd recommend combat stats of 45 and above. Free-to-play players should also come equipped with an Antipoison potion, which can now be obtained from the Apothecary via the "Potions" option when right-clicking him for a cost of 1 Cadava berry, 1 Limpwurt root and 5 coins. Alternatively, you can bypass this by purchasing them directly from another player or via the Grand Exchange!

    As always, with any challenge there should be a worthy reward! Bryophyta has an improved Moss Giant drop table in addition to having a chance of dropping Bryophyta's essence. Players can combine Bryophyta's essence with a Battlestaff to create the 1-handed members only Bryophyta's staff. Both Bryophyta's essence and Bryophyta's staff are tradeable. 

    Bryophyta's staff requires 30 Attack and 30 Magic to equip, and has similar stats to that of an Ancient staff, although it is slightly slower. Bryophyta's staff can be charged with up to 1000 Nature runes, which causes it to become untradeable and acts like the player is holding 1000 Nature runes whilst it is equipped. In addition to this, the staff also has a 1/15 chance of not spending a Nature rune when any spell that uses one is cast whilst it is equipped.

    To make the staff tradeable, it requires uncharging. This process will destroy any of the Nature runes that were stored inside it.

  4. I'll start by saying that this film did amazingly well with the cliffhangers. To answer your questions:

    • Why didn't Strange EVER use the time stone to reverse anything? He could have let Thanos kill Tony then reverse time, or done a thousand other things with it?
     

    Because Thanos already have had reality stone, meaning Strange tried to put him into Mirror Dimension during the fight scene (It was amazing, and the most Naruto fight I've seen in real action), and instead it backfired, making it possible for Thanos to start a black hole. 

    31 minutes ago, Duc2000 said:
    • Why was it Red Skull who showed up and not someone else? Surely more than just him have tried to get the stones and been unworthy or whatever it was that sent him there?
     

    In Captain America: The First Avenger, it is very likely that Red Skull physically handles the Tesseract, which opens a wormhole into space, sucking him into it, thus entering him into that planet. 

     

    33 minutes ago, Duc2000 said:
    • Why was the soul stone THERE? It was just in this random spot and never explained how it got there. Had it been there since it was created?
     

    Most likely. I kinda thought that it was in Wakanda, given that in Black Panther, Wakandans had their ancient traditions.

    • What was the point?
     

    This film? It was about Thanos. There's a second film preparing to be a sequel to Infinity War. I'll have to say though, this is the perfect way to end the film with just supervillian winning, while heroes attempt to struggle.

     

    Although, I've noticed that Doctor Strange told Tony that this is an endgame, which he said those stuff in Age of Ultron to Nick Fury while they were in Hawkeye's safehouse, and his nightmare is coming true. It could be that Tony is planning to get revenge and undo what Thanos did, with the remaining Avengers. (hence why those characters vanished with dust. They will come back). I've also noticed that on Avengers 4 onset, there's a tiny chance that there'll be some time machine or a flashback back to 2012 film.

     

     

    Tony started it all (2008, Iron Man), and there's a chance that he's going to end it all(2019 Avengers 4) as Infinity Stone storyline conclusion. 

  5. I honestly do not like this idea. Just like how others have said, this would make GFL look bad with pay-to-win and other stuff.  If one user gets banned, it's their own fault.

    The Moss Giant Boss: Bryophyta

    The Moss Giant Boss: Bryophyta
    The Moss Giant Boss: Bryophyta 
    hr.png 

    The purpose of this blog is to detail as much as possible prior to the poll going live in-game later this week to allow for player feedback. We're purposefully not revealing any details regarding the mechanics of the fight as to not ruin the surprise if it passes the polls! 

    Deep in the confines of the Edgeville dungeon, a giant Moss Giant lurks... Get your hands on a Mossy key and take on Bryophyta, the newly discovered Moss Giant boss!
     
    hr.png

    Back in October 2016 we released Obor, a giant Hill Giant boss that was brought to life via a community suggestion. Since then, we've been inundated with requests to expand upon the idea and introduce more variations of the giants as bosses aimed towards mid-level players. 

    After seeing such a large demand for more of these bosses, the avid and extremely passionate Old School RuneScape player Mod Kira, who normally works within our IT department, took it upon himself to learn the ways of development during his TAPP time. Today we'd like to introduce to you his creation, the brand-new members only Moss Giant boss, Bryophyta. 
     
    Bryophyta.png 
    The above image is of Bryophyta's in-game model.

    Bryophyta is an ancient and mystical giant Moss Giant who resides within the Varrock sewers, located to the east of Vannaka and near the Deadly red spiders. She is a mid-level boss and in order to enter her lair, players must first obtain a Mossy key from a Moss Giant. A Mossy key can only be obtained from a Moss Giant if you have one as your current Slayer task, and each key can only be used once.

    Upon entering the lair, you find yourself in an instanced room where the fight will begin. Make sure you come prepared however, as Bryophyta won't go down easily! Unlike other Moss Giants, she has a number of unique attacks and abilities you'll have to watch out for. 

    As with Obors instance, death within the instance will cause you to lose your items. Hardcore Ironmen beware, she may take your status too.

    The Rewards

    As always, with any challenge there should be a worthy reward! Bryophyta will have an improved Moss Giant drop table in addition to having a chance of dropping Bryophyta's essence. Players can combine Bryophyta's essence with a Battlestaff to create a brand-new 1-handed members only staff, Bryophyta's staff. Both Bryophyta's essence and Bryophyta's staff are tradeable. 

    Bryophyta's staff has similar stats to that of an Ancient staff, with the added effect of it being charged with up to 1000 Nature runes. Once charged, the staff becomes untradeable and acts like the player is holding 1000 Nature runes whilst it is equipped. In addition to this, the staff also has a 1/15 chance of not spending a Nature rune when any spell that uses one is cast whilst it is equipped. 
     
    Bryophyta_Staff_2.png 
    The name "Bryophyta's staff" is not finalised. We welcome any community suggestions regarding a unique name for the staff.

    To make the staff tradeable, it requires uncharging. This process will destroy any of the Nature runes that were stored inside it.

    Poll Question #1
    Should we add a new mid-level boss, Bryophyta the giant Moss Giant to Old School RuneScape? In order to enter her lair, players must obtain a Mossy key from a Moss Giant. A Mossy key can only be obtained from a Moss Giant if you have one as your current Slayer task. Each key can only be used once. Bryophyta would offer an improved Moss Giant drop table.
     
    Poll Question #2
    If Bryophyta is added to the game, should she have a chance of dropping Bryophyta's essence? Bryophyta's essence can be combined with a Battlestaff to create a brand-new 1-handed members only staff, Bryophyta's staff. Both Bryophyta's essence and Bryophyta's staff are tradeable. The staff has similar stats to that of an Ancient staff, with the added effect of it being charged with up to 1000 Nature runes. Once charged, the staff becomes untradeable and acts like the player is holding 1000 Nature runes whilst it is equipped. To make the staff tradeable, it requires uncharging. This process will destroy any of the Nature runes that were stored inside it.
     
    Poll Question #3
    If Bryophyta's staff is added to the game, should it also have a 1/15 chance of not spending a Nature rune when any spell that uses one is cast whilst it is equipped?
