Jagex has announced details about an upcoming update for RuneScape: Dragonwilds. This patch aims to address a particular issue where Velgar’s meteors were able to penetrate players’ roofs, leaving them unprotected. Although there is no specific release date yet for this patch, it is expected to be available soon, providing much-needed relief for frustrated players.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds has experienced a successful launch just over two weeks ago, building on the franchise’s longstanding legacy. Unlike the traditional MMORPG format, this new open-world survival game has resonated with many players, hitting a peak of over 50,000 concurrent users. Frequent updates are anticipated, even shortly after its April 15 launch.
Among the challenges players face in Dragonwilds, battling dragons is particularly difficult, with Velgar being the most formidable until the introduction of the Fellhollow region. While Velgar is designed to be a tough boss, the mechanic allowing meteor attacks to bypass roofs has caused concern. Preview notes for the upcoming update suggest improvements in this regard, indicating that the meteors should pose less of a threat when players are inside their bases.
However, it remains unclear whether roofs will offer complete protection against these attacks. This isn’t the first adjustment Jagex has made for Velgar; a prior update last week had already toned down the dragon’s abilities significantly. Additional contents of the forthcoming update include cloud saves—an eagerly awaited feature—and various minor fixes for stability and user experience, such as addressing issues with quest completion and moving AI character visibility.
The update will also include balance adjustments, typo fixes in quests, and corrections in VFX. Overall, there seems to be a lot for players to look forward to in the upcoming RuneScape: Dragonwilds Update 0.7.3.
