Considered Plans

^{NB = Ninja Back Log; LI = Look Into}

• Christmas Boss Decorations
• Task diary awards. ^NB/LI
• Task Diary Award adjustments ^LI
• Removing Mobilising Armies (eventually).

Not Planned

• Allow players to only left-click their opponent while in the duel arena.
• Increasing the block/prefer slayer task list.
• Adding more Dragon Keepsake slots.
• Changes to the Hex Hunter Bow.
• Strykewyrm generic slayer tasks. (Could look at drops).

Other

• The minigame engagement isn't great and therefore it isn't worth making updates for them.
• Add an in-game poll tomorrow which asks players about their favorite updates this year.
• A warm fix will likely occur sometime this week to fix NXT issues.

>_> As if everyone doesn't tap at least 1 super restore before they have to resummon a familiar.

I'm glad they're actually doing something with emissaries.

Forgot all about this mini-game. Wonder what will happen with all the titles/rewards that come from it.

This should be interesting for people that rely on quest guides.
