Not sure why they randomly decided to make them super common. That wasn’t part of the dev notes yday
blog says it drops 3 at a time
It's the drop rate from dossier
i got a drop it wasn't 3 at a time
Your mother drops 3 at a time 

Wen compensation
hope this helps
Please refrain from this talk as it violates rule 3 - oscord mod probably

Jagec scamt me
You took a risk in a volatile market
There is no compensation
you should see the rs3 wiki its almost all 'rare' they dont have exact numbers on a lot of things
my cc is getting spammed with contract drops now because the GE guide hasn't caught up to the real price 
So contracts going to 50k each?
probably
theyll be dirt, yeah
you can't even stuff your death coffer with them

so useless
inb4 obvious "why even keep them"
My bank is full now. Should I just incinerate them? @jagex
buy more
Yama is a shit projec
"the dip"
Buy the rug pull
Average lower!
At the GE "buying burnt food contracts"
(I am being sarcastic)
should have bought put options, unlucky
now can they make white oathplate gm req?

now that contracts are dirt cheap
If they dirt cheap then the system only exists to torment ironmen
contract boss is nice
streamers are crashing out
has anyone beaten it?
ive only seen 1/5s
I was hoping we'd go at least one day of no completions, unlucky
shoutout to wow race to world first sometimes being weeks lmao
(mostly due to dogshit balance, and the fact that some of those raids are completed by those guilds is kinda insane)
mostly speaks of how much some people have mastered the osrs engine
whens the last time there was something with no completions on day 1?
no matter what you throw at them they'll crush it
100 agreed
how long did it take for a first cox/tob/toa completion?
oh god
First cox was suicided in 1h 40 iirc
z*ah
This soulflame horn is absolute trash. Jagex do something
@winter hearth
Devs do something
like
Like anything other than diluting more items into the ground
to be fair, saying its trash and not giving alternatives is exactly zero percent helpful
i wasnt even talking to that guy lol
So no1 beaten contract Yama yet that’s kinda pog
i know lol
theres been a couple completions
on certain contracts
They can make it work solo and then it’s decent
im sorry you had to read that message
yeah i think it working solo would be fine as well tbh
Using to always land maul on corp or something. It turns defense reduction weps into 75% spec but then you can use spec pot to get benefits of landing the specs
Kinda good niche tbh
would agree
how lol
breath contract seems free if you aren't an ape
Shits hard like ToA and not hard like ToB
how is this useful feedback? what ... is someone supposed to do when he reads it?
Be better
you don't even say why it's trash
you're pinging employees to tell them something is trash and not even giving any info on how to fix it
lmao
😄

god the entitlement and the childishness

this channel is amazing content
baguettesmack
All of you need some baguettes to ur heads
I’m here to provide comedy and cynicism
including me
halfway there

Good then I’m doing 50% which is a better job than Jagex did with this update
oof lol
I assumed there would be some catch to it
It does look pretty free reading it
I just don't have max mage on the alternative account currently
and also don't have any of the forefeits on iron because they are super rare
it’s been less than 5 hours. Let the people lab out the paths
https://i.imgur.com/fFvcSI6.png
The look of a man who just died for the last 3...5 hours losing hundreds of millions in the process
And then moan if not available
the catch is its harder ig 
you want to bring vile vigour
seeing his realization about the bloodied blows contract was sad
The first half of the stream was a money burning stream 
At least now the attempts are cheap
what did he realize?
Nightmare to balance as always. Too expensive and people bitch. Too cheap and it might as well not exist.
He was having fun doing melee
he was camping 1hp and meleeing
He saw magic worked and his fun went away
That he needed to touch grass 
then magic was good lol
watch Kirbys stream with severance contract
gnomonkey actually rage quit for a bit
shadow won
Gnome actually leaving to touch grass was really funny
yeah I don't envy jagex here
At least I had a cozy morning in the chasm today and got some pocket change before the buff
what is the orb spawning like 
F’s we have our first de-iron end game victim due to jagex neglect of end game. Pecanbread11 will no longer be an Ironman so that he can speed run.
it's crazy bc this was my call from literally the day awakened orbs were known about
its 2 hits for every orb
the timing also seems just off on the orbs
and if you manage to even survive the 1 shot Yama just full heals

who
The judge being on speed is also really funny
You don’t know who pecanbread is lol
First? You really don’t interact with many endgame folks if that’s the case 
First I heard about since they was in my clan lol
I can name like 4-5 in my friend groups alone 
Not in the slightest
people de-iron all the time, it's a meme that that's the iron endgame
YouTube it
"Harder than dt2 awakened but not in a good way" -gnome
Just delete Ironman mode it was a mistake
With all due respect to your clannie they're not the first or the last
handshake emoji
bronzemanmode or bust

how many people do we think play the game as iron to strictly solo everything?
now a days
People have been de-ironing since cm speeds became popular.
You know mainscape causes majority of the problems with the game right
every single update, irons constantly want to warp it until it benefits them at the expense of mains, and condescend to mains who buy things as if that isn't the original way to play
i cannot say shit only having tried the two seemingly easiest ones and not clearing p3 but mann idk
Ok bro
i think we really need a closed loop for the next end-game update
stop tagging on earlygame avenues to the content
pleae
Bots, rwt, economy issues, gp/h loaded bosses and content. All causes by mains.
trueeee
As I’ve already told you in dms, irons RWT just as much via services 
Blaming every main for rwt is some real neckbearding
Don’t act like irons are innocent
idk why this even has to be a conversation lol
exactly this
there’s bad portions in both community
Irons can’t trade so sounds like services are the problem
blame boaty for inventing ironman 
they moan about drops not catering to them 
And then crash it to nonexistence
Torstols?
Bring back ultimate main mode from rsc
i wouldn't care about irons if they didn't keep skewing game updates then complaining about it endlessly
i don't really care how they play the game
i just wish they'd shut up about it for once
Toa did they to seeds lol but that’s jagex fault. No1 asked seeds to be in toa.
mox actually spitting good takes
I can’t wait for lily of the sands to gatekeep overloads from irons tbh

Iron should just not be a factor for balancing just like it was not a factor for balancing everything before 07
Same lmao
remember those being like profitable to get from their actual sources
?
got 2k of those on iron, im good
2k is 1.5k overloads
Hasn’t been a factor at all or else we wouldn’t have awakened orbs and contracts
Half the reason supplies and pvm drops are the way they are is irons not wanting to have to slowly skill for them
Mains don't give a shit about sourcing our items we just buy them
Bro the new bis armor literally drops in chunks
Why do we appeal to iron men who decided on their own to take part in a special way to play the game
Only system two systems exist to cater to irons and that’s scar ess and ingot pathways
I use more than 1.5k divines doing a few boss hunts
So that irons can be happy
All dry protection mechanics are explicitly for irons
Bro
Fuk ironmen
Wrong it’s for cloggers just as much as irons
cloggers are worse than irons
^
nah it's not for cloggers
Well we shouldn't give a single shit about cloggers either for balance
cloggers don't care
and a lot of the avenues of dry protection don't actually give you clog
they just let you make or otherwise get an item
oathplate breakdown doesn’t aid cloggers
Cloggers are also single digit % of the game, not ~20% like irons
Also yeah that doesn't go on your clog when you make it
What the fuck are we saying brk
Probably less than that
Well then we shouldn’t give a shit how much your items are worth due to bots farming the content lol
damn yall are making me want to abandon my ironman lmfaoooo
thats actually a disaster really
got me all riled up against myself
i may be getting confused with dupe protection

Ofc we should because it fucking breaks the rules??
Sounds like a problem for mains and not me
You’re advocating for self botting
also why should real players get less value out of what they earn in game because other people are cheating
No all botting is bad
god you’re inconsistent as shit
But if there was no rwt then there be no bots
i don't even know what you're saying at this point man
Irons fucking bot all the time for boring skills lmao
you're like iron ren
Reddit literally snapshots dudes broken ardy course bots all the time
Yea and they should be banned.
Irons are saints who do nothing wrong 
ban irons
mega scales
It looked like they did a great job from the bot busting stream
Was hardly any end game bots
Reality is ironman falls apart late game and can't be catered to other than remove oathplate armour drops and instead drop a plate
bot busting stream is entirely performative too
Ya obviously they slipped though the cracks lll
2 for body legs 1 for head
Iron end game is self torture
It was performative but it was still fun
i didnt watch
You can't balance a normal person's playtime with endgame iron drops
but like
Mid and early are so good
Legitimately impossible
The bot busting stats they published was nice though
Yeah, peak osrs imo
if they can just decide to go around rounding up bots
honestly yeah
But they gotta not cater to irons for late game bossing or we'll continue to get rough updates
why is it cranked so hard consistency wise we do not need oathplate split into 2520 shards lol
Like this stuff is very nice to see
I think they're trying to make items we can use instantly so they feel good to get unlike dt2
Good transparency
shards are that way cuz its contribution split
They can just add untradeable systems. Shards woulda worked fine if they were untradeable
Should just be a singular plate drop
The bot busting streams are a snapshot of bots that would have been just normally banned, they do it for fun and because it's one of the most requested streams every time the OSRS channel goes live
Craft that plate into armour
how are they catering to irons? it takes a million hours just to get the slayer for a trident
shards would be fine if it wasnt tradeable
agreed
Lol if you think 87 slayer is the endgame iron nonsense I'm talking about
What is a "normal" drop table? Nex? Phosani? Vork? Vard?
Not dry protection
yama does feel tuned a bit too high for common high value drop
The current system would be fine if it accounted for shards a little better.
Cox, tob, and yeah vard too
Dry protection is just silly shit added for irons
i use to think it was 87 but it might be 78
extend to pre buff contract drops from demons too
i'd rather have things like halberd pieces
Who are afraid of going dry for Bowfa except at other content
why are we letting shitter accounts kill lesser demons for a 5m drop again
Arraxor
I imagine if shards weren't tradable then mains would complain that they feel they have to go back until they can craft 1 full piece
🙃
Can we talk about the game update in the game update chat, instead of main / ironman mode hate?
and you dont get actual drops at dt2 to make up for it 
It's about the update
maybe you do at whisperer ig
The contract system
cause whisperer has like normal drops
Dropping guaranteed rewards is silly
Contracts and Orbs will honestly never be balanced because of its consumption of said resources
Should just be an unlock
It will always be pissing someone off or everyone off
And cosmetic only
Orbs are crap because irons can't meaningfully engage with the content, and mains can't afford to
Orbs are beyond horrid
reminder that its actually fine because if you don't do the content, the issue doesnt exist anymore apparently
just unlearn object permanence
If it’s an unlock, there’s a justification to make it actually increase stats
Like how infernal cape isn’t a cosmetic
you can afford to get blorva reasonably, but nobody can really afford to just kill them for the sake of it/ pethunting
Most mains don't have the gp to afford to try it
I wish Blood Torva had some cool effect
Too bad then
most mains also don't have the skill to do it
Go get some money
khazard using over 2b just on orbs 😭
I could see that
i'm not seeing the problem
I think my main con with difficult content is a price tag on attempts
it's a cosmetic that costs a couple hundred million to get on avg, would you say? i don't know what average is these days
i think it's still a lot cheaper than a crystal crown
Like I wish colo was 0 rewards until 1 completion but no death fee
im only like fully realising this fallacy with orbs/contracts today lol
why in the fuck do people say orbs add prestige as if actually killing the fucking boss isnt 100% of that prestige
Until you beat it once
why are contracts in the game?
Oh no! 20 extra kills!!!
Gating difficult content behind a gp sink is silly
I mean
20 extra kills for a craftable Oathplate isn't a big deal at all lmao
Oh fuck 2 more hours
because path of exile
hope this helps
Atleast its only irons who get affected
i think it's a combination of costing money and needing skill that makes it prestigious
but prestige is really up to the person
Yeah, fuck irons
The purpose of orbs is mostly just a wealth equalizer
like, i think a 3a pick is prestigious, but some people are like eww all he needed was 14b gp
downvoting this guy for saying 0.80 and not 0.8 btw
i never saw what that game is, having depth is one thing but adding complex things like contracts only makes the game harder to learn
But they don't equalize wealth
false
makes no sense
The real problem is actually all his decimal points are with 3 numbers after the dot, so it should be 0.800
8% of total drop value with highballing btw
They're not expensive enough to add much gp for kc
But too expensive for improving at the game
They transfer wealth from rich ppl with nothing better to do to midgame players without adding gp inflation or dumping Skilling supplies
They were 3m per at release
And quickly hit 1m
and yeah, what como said
gnome just did the sigil contract
People make more the better they get at the game
i see people hear talk about the prohibitive cost of attempts, but i've just never seen someone go for blorva and really complain that much about it
And saying hey you can't do this cool boss
they complain about it the same way i complain about being triple rate for a unique at yama
Because going for it implies you have enough gp to blow through it
Say you have 1 mega rare
Are you gonna dump all your gp to ATTEMPT a boss with no reward?
by the time you're at the point to consider blorva, you almost certainly have the gp to blow on blorva
and the expense is directly related to your skill
The annoying part is you can't just do the content
better you are, the less it costs
honestly no
Lol not even
reason being torva is like a last purchase
the gatekeeping is part of the prestige, that's kinda the point
I don't even have close to the gp for the boss
im 100% getting kit before torva and im a shitter
But can do the other difficult content in the game
Torva being expensive is also a huge reason. Why do it at all until u have the item it goes on
the contracts are dirt cheap now don't worry
I used to be pro-orbs, but now I’m definitely against it cuz 1. Pet rates don’t get increase 2. Uniques rates increase don’t offset the increased time 3. It’s basically dead content after Torva
i was assuming you wouldn't go for the torva kit until you could afford torva
it made sense at the time
after colosseum, I firmly believe content shouldn’t be 1nd
Shouldn't be punished for learning
the reddit ppl complaining about orbs are not good enough to kill the boss anyway
so you're complaining that the cosmetic for an expensive piece of armor isn't accessible to people who are too poor to afford the armor?
i don't think i'm on board
same
1nd?
wonderful strawman as if me and rat and others are 1500 shitters wow
One-and-done
It's a weird situation now with contracts
If the cosmetic contracts are dirt cheap, why even have them be consumed at all
Is 100k/contract really gonna be worth anyone doing except for it being obnoxious that they take up an inventory slot to do?
My issue is the ability to play the content
wonderful conversation when tf do i go mox mode and just flame people 😭
plinx slap me later or something preempt it
Hanging myself to leviathan melee orb when I get home
Then say actually, you can't even try it to get better
imagine if toa costed 1m for every 10 invo you do
so you can only do 0 invo entry mode for free, and 400 toa costs 40m to attempt every time
wont that be fun
That's a bit of an over exaggeration of the issue
Then to mitigate that we have this contract system
things are gated by quests, gear, and having required stats to access all the time. i don't mind them and i don't mind this.
ymmv
Which seems silly
certainly, other people do appear to agree with you
A quest is 10-20h from scratch at MAX
Locking bosses behind some sort of ticket isn't inherently bad but literally all you get for it is cosmetics and that sucks ass
yeah, it's annoying the only reason to do woke boss at all is the cosmetic
at least an improved pet rate would be something
locking bosses behind some sort of ticket isn't inherently bad which is why obor/bryo are getting checked out in the sweep up yeah
tbh at this point im more gatekept by the bonfire update than orbs
im ready to high alch my blorva kit now but i dont have the firemaking req
jagex cmon
if they don't want to reward with gp, could at least have done that
Nobody is spending billions on orbs or contracts lmfao
For orbs? That's not unreasonable near release
port spent billions on orbs
its technically break even/sliiightly better for i believe wisp/duke currently
i do not think many people are spending billions on orbs for blorva
but you know
Contracts probably not
Contract Yama not being weak to demonbane weapons assures that the content can only be done by players in near bis 😭
Real why are you outrage baiting yourself
800k entry ticket
See that's not an issue to be
Gear check
Isn't the same as cost to attempt
Cost to attempt says you lose money for TRYINF
gear check means you spend billions on bis or whatever right
why is one different from the other to you
Gear check says this will be really hard to do unless you have gear
what are people even talking about anymore
One slows progression,
One encourages progression
they really want you to shadow camp the contracts i swear 
what part is slowing progression?
Orbs and contracts encourage you to say, no I won't try this because it'll waste my gp to learn now
When I need to upgrade my gear
gear is temporary, fun memories are forever!
from that point of view, spending money on melee upgrades slows your progression for doing ranged bosses
If you send it and say wow this is really cool, but I think x or Y gear would make it easier
You can sell it if you want, or use it elsewhere
Burning gp to try is not the same as improving your gear
Contacts either need to be so common they shouldn't exist
Or rare enough to be cost prohibitive
people call my objective facts trolling but not this disingenuous nonsense fml
wouldn't being so rare they cost even more just make the problem you see worse?
but tbh idk what either of you are talking about
then why are you commenting on it, ren
I'm saying contracts shouldn't exist
i agree with u
why is tramayne trolling u
Because they don't encourage players to try to get better at the game
Whereas gear checks DO encourage you to improve at the game/upgrade your character
Im not in the cool kids club of having been spooned a mega rare so I'm unable to participate, kinda shitty 🤷♀️ demonbane weapons are already only useful in a few places...now some demons are immune...cool
Rendi spent billions on his "content" he wanted to do. Pulling extreme cases from top 0.01% aint valid
you do know you need awakened for GM right
I feel like the “no demonbane” was also paired with “do more damage” extremely intentionally
why are you so obsessed with cosmetics tramayne
Worst part of today, was about 10min before i finished A kingdom divided on the alt, jagex fixed the droprate on contracts 
i did a greater demon task just before the change 
We gonna wait til oath crashes again and buy it up
i was trying to recoup contract losses
surely it can't crash more
oh wait it's time to check is we've achieved crisscross
surely...
It went up 50mil today
Synapse crash
oath has gone up 40m, it's all over
It will go down to 250 by wednesday
100 by friday
now is a good time for me to finally choose to get the drop
That picture looks like a Justi set to me xd (crazy they didn’t change that yet)
jagex saved the market?!
100 extreme, 250 likely to actually happen imo
gnomonkey crashing out (as the kids say) over bloodied blows
its cheap now why doesnt he just 1 hp dh it for fun?
Byebye gl moving its nice out today
Bloodiest blow is a rough job
goodbye mox, when you return you shall be mox 5.0
i will name my new parrot after you
somewhat reasonable
but banger crashout
yeah for sure
vod
10/10 for a viewer
just rewind his yt stream a couple minutes
(based for streaming on youtube so rewind is possible)
lmfao the holy water theory
A quick guide on how to get Holy Water for Delve Boss. I think it will be pretty good, both teammates can just bring one to throw at the start in their range gear. It drains 5% def non stacking, for reference in max range it has a 43% hit chance offtask vs Zammy and I expect Delve Boss to have less defenses.
Text version:
- Get Binding Book fr...
Contract fights just seem pretty bad
You don't like invocation level 600 yama?

Gnome looks like he's 30 seconds from crying
pls be holy water
@sacred oracle dunno how many blorva folks you talk too, but the ones who did it legit for the most part disliked the system as it was for a cosmetic. The ability to send it consistently after is limited
@minor whale I know you said everyone opinion should count, but tbh, it should be limited if you haven’t attempted or completed said content, in osrs at least
Slippery slope when more and more content is geared toward elite pvmers
Just makes it a weird discussion when folks are speaking on behalf of someone else’s pov
This will never happen mate dw
i have multiple awakened vard kc on leagues including perfect awakened axe enthusiast attempts, im an expert
They can’t even get content correct for endgame pvm
at least half an expert
leagues awakened vard is at least 10% as hard as regular vard on main game
what if the opinion is really good though
If it’s based on something actual sure
But half these discussions here are from folks who aren’t impacted from these decisions
@tacit pendant bad clown emoji, whats ur awakened vard kc on any gamemode
less than me huh?
The only reason it's weird is you imo , I'm not here vetting people to make sure they are allowed to have opinions
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Folks can have opinions, just limit it if you genuinely don’t understand what you’re talking about
i am impacted and i can say the fights are needlessly long
It's content they'll eventually get to lol
Maybe but most do not
They really didn’t
Not a healthy approach
But did the same thing
👍
i dont see how toa being rewarding is related
dont worry, yama still in beta
The latter part
shits gonna be so good in a month when hes done
High lvl toa is just high hp and def
i think goblin was talking about rewards there sadly
Ooo missed the blog
rather than the scaling
In the first part yes
Plenty of awakened in leagues as well. Last time vard was in a league for me was 2 years ago, awakened was auto win lmfao
i'm genuinely immensely curious as to what the dev process looked like for Yama tbh
Doubling down on "i did it in leagues" im an expert is insane
so u didnt do it in raging echoes, u did it easier mode than me
i genuinely dont think this was playtested
by more than 1 person
if being generous
Doing anything in leagues doesn’t mean shit so idk why this is even a discussion
and that person only made sure its beatable in theory
Congratulations on Mickey Mouse game mode
Clown emoji warranted
Mod nox didn’t even play it
yeah ik
Doomed
you asked and you received clown have good day
is there even any other jmod thats on a similar skill level
because i dont think the play testers got to test contracts either
I wouldn't be surprised if bloodied blows is legitimately a bugged contract
Every single streamer getting hella frustrated trying it
i thought it was fun
At least when I chatted with them they had similar interest in speeds
i thought acquisition contracts were bugged on release
In regards to the inferno
Bloody blows job is gatekeeping streamers
Would edit further
But yeah, it's looking bugged
the description was. Think they were supposed to mention demonbane not working there
bloody blows? severance doers in shambles
Didn’t gnome complete this
yes thats what im saying
thats the one he rage quit on I thought
He rage quit, he completed the crush one
no he crashed out on it
O
twice
i mean that contract does genuinely seem bugged
he should just keep 1 hp DHing instead of crying about mage :/
Orbs in p3 not being guaranteed to hit, nor max on, with any weapon
While spawning every 2 attacks
And they heal Yama for 400hp
Can't guarantee you kill even a single orb
Ren holy fuck
Do you ever have anything to add that's not useless
if we get confirmation that it is bugged then we can safely assume contracts actually werent playtested
The crush one being "scythe but in a different shirt" is funny
Idt it’s even worth sending till next week ngl
Agreed
has anyone completed bloodied contract yet
Nope
lol
this rem guy hasnt done it?
It's either bugged or something is just being overlooked
i saw they were red when I did it, does melee not max?
He’s working on 1hp dh tech
i sent 5 attempts and didnt get past p1
i really dont see what we could be overlooking
that or theres some tech to shield from red flares specifically
So is this content is for like 1 guy (port khazard, probably) to print oathplate all day while everyone else just sells the contracts
there is a non-zero possibility that it's bugged and doesn't get fixed until monday and that would be the funniest shit in the world
Ren has 0 yama kc btw
Nope, nothing actually seems to max hit but everyone I've watched has tried like everything they can think of
atlatl spec 
No one has it completed so not even for Port or Noobtype
clears burn innit
ive gotten to p3 sensory a couple times, and almost got to p3 divine severance once
wait fk no
fwiw I was referencing the purple chance here, nothing else
the forbidden VW spec tech.......
Appreciate the clarification then
can we get clarification if bloodied blows is bugged too?
why dont they just tick eat the void flares and outdps them?
kinda hoping for a "no" response
thats what i was trying to do
You can't
cause you cant lol
They heal him 400 each
full heals yama
if u hit the tickeat without dying ud see boss full heal
bruh even with their gear and the max hit mechanic they cant outdps the heal?
Is bloodied the medic one
ik i did
no
Bloodied is low HP one
divine severance is the medic one
5 DH hits is more than 400
Ok well for the medic one, took noob 4 min to get the hp to 88%
But he still chips
bruh someone give me 1000 bloodied blows contracts ill do it myself
and only reason divine severance is hard is because theres some weird special attack cycle with the void flares
It’s 2 hits into 2 min of killing flares
bet you guys are belly laughing at streamers crashing out rn 
Great concept
Not at all, mostly a little deflated
mfw cant use demonbane
Sorry to hear that!
Keen to keep watching over the weekend though and see if people really get cooking, just been a long/tough week!
Noon almost got another one
Enjoy your weekend king! You deserve it!
Autocorrect smh
i assuuume you dont actually need to kill every orb assuming you proc sigils properly but if it continues into p3 lol
ye will be interesting to see what people cook up
yeah ideally you tank an orb with the glyph when you can
but theres some weird attack pattern
that might be random
fwiw i am very happy the contracts are harder by default lol
where sometimes you just run out of glyphs
the special cycle is so much nicer 
or yama does the void flare special twice with little downtime
yeah you get fucked on fire sigil start iirc if orbs spawn on second special
Appreciate that, just so much we should have done better and a lot that we got wrong, think the core of the release was still really solid but has sorta been overshadowed a lil. Lots to learn!
Contracts could have been difficult without disabling demonbane weapons 
Designing for the 0.1% top of the playerbase can't be easy.
it does sound like disabling demonbane buffs has made some of these way harder than intended, like for severance
felt like jagex was locked into releasing on x date by the advertising and wasnt able to course correct ahead of time b/c of it
and then panic made changes on contract drop rates
severance does have demonbane weps enabled
FWIW I think it's nice to see the big dogs struggling for once and not steamrolling the content on day 1
so are contracts gonna get nerfed because streamers are crying because they cant just do fun self imposed harder mode because they cant get enough contracts...?
uhh do the orbs got more hp cause you should be able to sang -> purging spec orbs to save time otherwise p1/2
idk if it's a struggle in a fun way though, tough to ascertain - will see where folks get to other the weekend
the bosses are def overtuned in stats a bit right now
probably everyone will agree
personal two cents, in comparison to awakened bosses, I can actually eat up at something like vard. I don't feel like i can with contracts
making the fights easier would be so backwards compared to just letting people attempt the fights as much as necessary
And hp
hp and defense is just such a bad lever for increasing "difficulty"
it makes fights longer, not more difficult
Vard you’re getting cleaved with the axe, but if you skip axe you can double or triple eat
getting slapped a 78 to shadow walls is bleh
I'm all for harder mechanics
But the prevalence of doubling or tripling their hp, defense, and healing is just so not fun anymore
it raises the bar for execution
like the divine severance one did not need the hp increase at all since youre spending most of your dps dealing with the orbs anyways
make the fights harder, double HP, make them required for GM
and make them doable as much as you need to
Probably. I mean, 7 unique contract fights on top of the baseline fight seems like a lot.
It’s dull and boring
but it isnt a FUN type of difficulty
esp. when they knock off your prayer and can also stack
Gnome said he'd prefer a death by a thousand cuts rather than getting one shot
granted i also just kinda dont like them in the normal fight
they come in during meteor and you just cant really move away
yeah the attempts on streams are genuinely painful to watch sometimes lmao
gnome just reading chat bc he's getting bored mid fight 😭
ok granted gnome was trying to do 1hp attempts 😭
Can’t believe I had to tune into gnome
Some of the contracts should be easier imo. Like keep the difficulty for cosmetics but contracts could have been like a clue scroll for the average player. A slightly more challenging fight with better rewards that drops infrequently
Not gated to the .1%
I don't even mean that, I just mean how much they drag
same 
that was mad funny for different reasons
make contract fights harder.
honestly i felt the drag too but then i realised i forgot to click heart 😭
Yeah one shots that are uncommon and happen with ways to avoid by good play are fine
But when the whole fight is just oops you messed up instead of continuing and learning while finding somewhere to eat up and still maintain the fight, you're just dead, it's genuinely not even enjoyable to watch lmao
this is making me want to do contracts, buy limit wore off and i got merched on 2, lets goo
I'm not even having a fun time watching streamers trying to do it they all seem so bored lmao
gnome beat forfeit breah
It’s just bad design
2/5 now
ye
ye i said it earlier but you have to super int to get one shotted at awakeneds
glyph and forfeit breath seem to be the 2 easiets ones
but imo divine severance is also easy
off pray vard axe, fail duke eye/wisp pillars, levi chomp
just didnt get enough time to figure out the special cycles
u cant really compare duke
from my perspective (giant fucking noob, just enjoying watching for now)
it does suck to see these guys look/feel so bummed rn
im pretty sure missing the shadow wall skip during enrage will just hit you for 150 though lmao
its a one mechanic at a time almost
also vard imo is just in a different category completely
bc that entire boss is so well designed
mfw they release actually hard content 
/s
yeah when awakened bosses came out the consensus was way different than what it is now
and people were stuck at levi and vard for a long time too
fwiw even though there is a very loud minority complaining a lot, there are thousands of lurkers enjoying watching those gamers getting a real challenge. if there are improvements to the system nobody will remember any of this in a month 🤷♂️ dont let yourselves get too down on this
its not just complaining because hard
woke vard kiiinda feels back cause of the constant tick loss imo
idk when awakeneds came out i ran in and died a bunch and just felt like i was shit and shoulda played better these feel like i didnt press defensive spell for 13th time in a row so i get 1shot
Loud minority yet they designed this content for em
id genuinely just rather do awakened whisperer over the normal version just so i dont go braindead
I do think a multi day race is certaining appealing from a viewers perspective, but it'll be interesting to see how the streamers feel about it in retrospect
bruh why dont they make me regen spec on dying
This is fine yeah. Kinda takes it back to infernos release
annoying boss
However the fights aren’t scaled properly
Stuff like the medic contract is just aids for no reason
Unless you used 0 other supplies regening spec on death wouldn’t even help you
Like there is a stark difference between this and awakeneds
Where the awakened were quite literally skill issue
This is orbs blast you to kingdom come for 0 issue
Ah so you chose to dps the boss over killing orbs for the 100th time
Bad choice!
im too bad for this fight with 0 yama kc
i wanna do vard instead
where bonfire update
Ultra instinct yama
I also did awakeneds when orbs were up and didn’t send the reg boss to practice (kinda dumb on my part), yet you could learn and pick up things while you sent attempts
Nah man clearly the content is designed for the viewers not the player!!!
Dumbest take I've seen today
you get to it
It's so that we can see gnome monkey crash out on stream
Actually living under a rock moment folks piping up
i feel like its rly close to good the contracts r just maybe a bit overtuned in terms of how long they take to kill
like someone who wants to do demons in chasm? which is apparently no one?
honestly, that might make genuine business sense, as awful as it is for the people doing the content
thanks for the compliment but i feel like i dont quite get that trophy
sooo.... the viewers? 
How is the oath shard contract
i dont need to watch gnomonkey crash out i already watched him do echo sol and speedrun budget inferno like a day before me when i was doing it
watching kirby do the severance contract
the fuck is that shit
all the acquisition contracts are the same i believe?
yeah except the pet one
monka
thats the chasing one, right?
hes on enrage rn and yes he does
Seems like Severance and Blows are the gatekeepers at the moment
but severance and bloody blows seem legit 
Do we know if anyone has a confirmed completion on either of them? I've only seen completions on the other three mentioned
bloodied blows is just the enrage thats wtf im guessing
goblin avoided the quesion about bloodied blows being bugged.... im shaking and quaking
I'd laugh if it was really holy water
that would make everything worthwhile
Fights were balanced around delve reward dps ofc
it would be the funniest thing imaginable tbh
You mean the crush demonbane with 70 defense? No, no way this boss with a crush weak contract was balanced around that!
bl blows actually impossible without delve reward for some reason lol
Im curious on the clear % of these acquisiton contracts
I haven't seen blows P3 much, what's the thing that seems impossible? Is it the orb HP?
orbs not being 1 shot, and healing yama for 400
I did think about that, maybe the specific Yama crush weak contract is the “crush demonbane niche” Jagex was talking about for Diabolical aegis xd
spawning constantly
holy sensory p3 looks insane
I think it would be cool if one of the contracts had the glyphs still up in p3 xd
literally just cerb
yeah that looks wild
which like. you already do cerb before mokh to get the boots so lol??
Yeah was memeing that weapon was an awful proposal from delve
crush tank demonbane
Umm it woulda been used here guy!!!
still a weak use case lol, 1 time forced thign
Yeah
100% lol
bruh i completely forgot how to do normal yama after not sending attempts for a few days
I bought an inquiz set, gonna camp pnm waiting for delve. My bet is crush good there
can they not design content with the intention to add things later to make it useful
like this is jagex we're talking about 😭
well, yama came out before delve
gnome doing sensory now?
Ralosssss
ralos is already useful
remembering prior things exist LOL
yeah
Its a maiden frisbee bro
nice
yea and its hella fuckin good at that
It is
i think itll be used at delve too tho
surely jagex doesnt forget about tbow for the 5th time
But thats less uses than seercull
100gp chad Seercull vs the 100m virgin ralos
i think the main thing gating ralos rn is that the current tbow contents are wave based
Delve crush + tbow pls and thank you
let us shoot rubys from tbow
Scobo as 2nd bis
I wish pnm weren’t a meme grind so I there could actually exist a reasonable crush upgrade (I’m an iron)
i suck at this game 😭
iw onder how long itll take for someone to create a donofly variant for the one where yama follows you
the weekend tbh
thatll certainly be easier than brute forcing it imo
oh or theyre just gonna use scorching bow lol
im more interested in bloodied blows p3
whats that one do
I mean in theory if you can figure out when he pauses at what points in cycle for how long it should be feasible to make a cycle
why are people still obsessed with flying after kirby guide
?
because it makes the boss fun?
Well for one thing I don’t obsessively watch every single video published
just tried an aqcuisition contract and it's hard af
Man RIP to GMs if yama cas require contracts ig lol
probably not terrible if you set up red x
its not the same as worms?
that would actually be goated if it was a thing
i need some content that exposes me to red x mechanics
but then you're out like 5 food 
oh right potato sack tech
hoooly
i just invented potatofly
😔 nvm you can have someone just come in and drop items for you lol
If you're french it becomes the frenchfly
frenchfly is better
cant pick up items that are dropped before, right?
wait fk deaths coffer i completely forgot
are any of the items worth shoving in there still
I don’t think anything was overvalued on Yama release, was it?
just gotta tick eat while maxing every time
Wouldn’t really help coffer
tallow
Not over 10k ea though right?
barrel of
Oh is the barrel tradeable, guess that makes sense
why am i naked at bank
Nobody is going to do a contract to train melees
wait what lol
That’s what Ren is suggesting above
Yama has a min defense cap
oh lol
ok but it could go hard
Even if you did full drain you still have to deal with mechanics
worm contract was quoted at like 30m on release lol
Can yama ever be good money after this update
Nobody’s going to fight contract yama for hours on end
Oh really lol
i mean p1 is just tick eat flares and step on glyphs
yeah i tried, and death wouldnt accept it tho
while stepping back every 7 ticks
how is gnome taking so many melee 0s off pray thru robes
pure gaming
Streamer rng
hes clocked in or something
Does anyone think yama will be good money making
did anyone monster examine bloody blows
😭 lol
Bloody blows was broken
lmfaooo
is it same def
lol bloody blows hotfix
They had to hotfix it
lololol 150m down the drain
Okay my bad I was wrong
😬
second funniest outcome
peak content
What was the issue I am uninformed
ngl they would be able to refund it
Are you fr lmao
lmfao
Couldn't max the orbs in p3
Did they post this anywhere
Was impossible to complete
Oh lol
This info came from gnomes stream
not impossible, just naturally max
I did hear that issue, makes sense
actual gigachad answer
we eat those
it looks like fang on bloodied blows with def reduc should be like 12 dps so not much better than like max melee xp
PSA: We've just deployed a hotfix to correct an issue where the damage bonus for lower HP wasn't correctly applying to Voidflares if you were tackling the Contract of Bloodied Blows.

rip holy water
