slightly under a 2% buff just from the acc passive vs olm mage hand

lofty sinew
#

i dps checked the passive on shadow a while ago and it didnt even need to be excluded tbh. the staff is so accurate it was barely a dps gain in the majority of content

minor whale
#

It really was only an issue against things you'd never mage normally
But could you imagine how annoying to use that shit would be
Missing 60% of the time between hits which are then 80%

tacit pendant
#

Anyone here done tha acquisiton contracts yet? Ive been at work

tender harness
#

on the brightside nox is doing delve testing atleast
so that should atleast be functional
while yama is fucked

rain fulcrum
#

i dont tihnk i tcan work like this

lofty sinew
#

regular yama is cool, but these contracts were obviously not playtested. not even considering the difficulty of some of them, but both divine and bloody wasn't even completable due to bugs

rain fulcrum
#

if you miss only 1 tick, your cycle is not 12 ticks

#

because youd be using 11 ticks of weapon cd per cycle, which is impossible

minor whale
#

What was the issue with divine

#

Same as Bloodied?

rain fulcrum
#

so youd need like a 36 tick cycle where you use 33 ticks per cycle

lofty sinew
#

the full cycle is 16 ticks

#

so you'll get 15 active ticks with eye

#

and miss out on the 16th

tender harness
#

dont think divine is bugged its just legit despairge

plush gull
#

the previous rewards were better

lofty sinew
#

might not have been divine that was bugged, but i swear it was 2 of them

lofty sinew
rain fulcrum
#

so which cycle is olms head not moving then

lofty sinew
#

you know when you mage from melee hand and get dragged to middle?

#

so he turns to mage hand

rain fulcrum
#

yea

lofty sinew
#

thats a 4t run

rain fulcrum
#

i understand that you would miss a tick there

#

i dont understand how thats the only tick u are missing

minor whale
#

Just realized Yama makes Zeah so good for leagues

lofty sinew
#

how? its 12 ticks until you drag again

#

3 trident hits

#

4 eye hits

#

olm is on a 4t cycle

rain fulcrum
#

yes but you are missing a tick

#

so it makes sense like you said

#

it has to be 16 ticks

#

and you attack 5 times

#

i am confused what that 16 tick cycle actually is

#

because you cant have a 12 tick cycle where you attack 3.66 times

tacit pendant
lofty sinew
#

you could say its a 12 tick cycle, but its extended

ember token
#

which it does

tacit pendant
#

Gave it to varla last year

lofty sinew
#

so it could very well be 24t or 36t

minor whale
ember token
#

oh wait

tacit pendant
#

Hopefully p3 changes that

lofty sinew
#

so 30 ticks used in a 32 tick cycle

#

you just lose a tick every 16 ticks

rain fulcrum
#

that cant be right

#

it would need to be a multiple of 12, which 32 is not

#

unless you are preventing olm from moving his head for 1 cycle

lofty sinew
#

no, because you're not forcing the extra tick anywhere, you're simply losing it. when you get dragged to middle you'd ideally attack 1 tick before you hit center

#

but you cant

rain fulcrum
#

like

lofty sinew
#

thats the tick loss

rain fulcrum
#

you can tjust "miss a tick" on that run

#

you miss the entire 4th hit

#

because it takes 9 ticks to do 3 hits

#

so you are 1 tick off being able to drag

lofty sinew
#

you delay the 5th hit by 1 tick

#

you get 4 hits in where the trident would get 3

rain fulcrum
#

that does not make sense

lofty sinew
#

it does

plush gull
#

i hate powered staves

rain fulcrum
#

i dont understand how you expect to be able to do the drag hit

#

if you do not do the drag hit, then you miss the entire hit

#

but your weapon is not off cooldown in time to drag

lofty sinew
#

because the drag is on tick 12?

#

which lines up with eye's 3 tick?

rain fulcrum
#

it does not line up

lofty sinew
#

3 6 9 12?

rain fulcrum
#

lets say you were sanging on ticks 1, 5, and 9, then that means the drag tick is tick 9, but if you are using eye, you are hitting on 1, 4, 7, and 10

lofty sinew
#

that makes no sense

rain fulcrum
#

your weapon is still on cooldown

lofty sinew
#

you cant just say 1 5 9

rain fulcrum
#

at the time you need to drag

#

because it takes 9 ticks to do 3 hits

lofty sinew
#

the cycle is 4t lol

rain fulcrum
#

not 8

lofty sinew
#

its 4 8 12

rain fulcrum
#

its all relative, thats just to show you a frame of reference for the tick numbers

#

most likely not losing a shit on of tick sis going to require you to take hits

rain fulcrum
#

ok so lets say your first eye hit is right when you get to left side

#

you cannot do 3 hits and then still drag

#

because olms cycle is 4 ticks and so you can only use 8 ticks but 3 eye hits is 9 ticks

#

your weapon is on cd when its time to drag

#

assuming it has the same drag spot as sang

#

i assume you could drag from the back of the room like shadow tho?

#

something like the "1" tile from 12:0 should work

lofty sinew
#

yeah you can perfect tick the eye

#

by dragging around 12:0 and 8:1

rain fulcrum
#

if you do not do that, you would lose a fuck ton of ticks

lofty sinew
#

people have tested it with karil xbow

rain fulcrum
#

it would probably just end up with 4 ticking the eye

#

if ud ont

#

2but yeah the root problem with what you say is that if you attack right after the 4t run, you only get 3 hits before its tiem to run the next 4t run

minor whale
#

Some surprising places Eye of Ayak is better than Shadow:
Zulrah green and red phase
Kraken
Nightmare pillars
Dag Rex

#

Kinda neat

lofty sinew
#

hmm

#

it makes no sense

#

you always get dragged on the third trident hit, how would that not line up with a 4th eye hit

rain fulcrum
#

Because 3 eye hits is 1 tick more than 2 sang hits

lofty sinew
#

sure but the 2nd hit does nothing in terms of the rotation. its the 3rd hit that turns his head to melee side which then procs the mage turn

#

w.e you're doing between those things are kinda irrelevant

rain fulcrum
#

It matters because it changes the ticks are you able to click the boss

plush gull
#

just duo cox and take brews and karils xbow to olm lol

#

couldve made it to olm by now

rain fulcrum
#

The hits themselves are not directly correlated with the boss moving

lofty sinew
#

i would to wrap my head around it but my iron doesn't have a karil xbow and i got a shadow so its not relevant to me

#

i guess if you consider the middle hit "free" it makes more sense

#

as it's not really a part of the running cycle

#

if you take that out it's technically an 8 tick trident cycle

#

apperently divine contract has 3 full hp voids spawn p3 making it impossible to kill in time?

#

another impossible contract?

rain fulcrum
#

maybe the jagex play testers could not get to p3

lofty sinew
#

thought they didn't ship difficult content unless they knew it was possible to complete PepeGiggle

#

i asked nox earlier and he didn't playtest any of these so i wonder who did

rain fulcrum
#

they asked chatgpt if it sready to release

#

and it said yea

lofty sinew
#

does chatgpt ever say no

#

even when its straight up wrong it'll say yes and then proceed with some absolute bullshit KEKL

analog crow
#

question is will they be able to fix it before Monday, if it is bugged?

#

Shipping on Friday, risky stuff

ember token
#

they either dont fix it until tuesday or someone comes in on the weekend to fix it

shadow wave
#

They'll probably call someone in tomorrow but I wouldn't expect anything else for about 12 hours now

#

Also Monday is a national holiday over here

lofty sinew
#

i assume they're suppose to spawn with half hp

shadow wave
#

I mean even half HP would be giga fucking crap

lofty sinew
#

half hp is more than fine

#

you can triple purging staff spec

#

3x half hp is faster than 2x full hp

analog crow
#

yah half hp makes sense

sterile moss
#

seems like they were built for duo then just said naw make it solo

hard axle
#

jonglax things

sterile moss
#

giggle

meager flame
#

i mean

#

unless they just decided they're working saturday this is why you dont release on a friday

sterile moss
#

yup waiters win again

meager flame
#

lmao i feel bad for them ngl

#

i dont like how it feels to point out everything that could go wrong and then have it all actually happen

#

i'd rather be wrong and things go great

sterile moss
#

like I mean nobody wants an update to be bad

#

just awkward to do a Friday release when it is a long weekend over there

small anvil
#

i mean if people are shouting about the possible pitfalls, you'd think they would try to double check

sterile moss
#

should have just skipped this week update and release a day early next week tuesday

#

but hindsight

meager flame
#

honestly its not hindsight i was pointing out how crazy it was to release friday days ago

#

its

#

pretty obvious how that can go wrong

long sierra
#

are jmods still awake? can they confirm divine severance is doable and we're just missing something?

sterile moss
#

its almost 11pm over there

long sierra
#

p3 seems bugged but no way to confirm

sterile moss
#

doubt we get anything until tuesday

meager flame
#

tbh in my experience and this has nothing to do with jagex personally

#

but studios usually do have the like

#

emergency call in the work and typically plan for things not going well

#

like most major game releases that see midnight launch

#

they have tons of server guys and stuff awake and working at 4am

#

to make sure it actually goes over well

sterile moss
#

all we can really do is wait

long sierra
#

motivation to send divine severance is low when we dont know of any way to kill the orbs in time

#

4 orbs spawn with full hp and cant kill in time with purging staff, which is currently as far as we know the best dps on them

meager flame
#

i think just watching it

#

that its probably bugged unless they just have some random weapon that kills them

#

with no tell

vernal valve
#

4th orb was from a previous spawn, that isn't a problem. the 3 orbs are the problem

sterile moss
#

3 orbs spawn

meager flame
#

and just expect people to attack them with random stuff

long sierra
#

even 3 orbs is impossible

vernal valve
#

3 orb spawn wasn't possible unless there is some random shit that kills them yeah

#

1 orb was slightly desynced from the others, so it could be that they don't always spawn that close in time to each other and it's slightly RNG

meager flame
#

i also wonder if you're supposed to just do enough dps

#

to not get the triple orb

sterile moss
#

900 damage

meager flame
#

and they messed up the hp tuning

sterile moss
#

aint no way

vernal valve
#

there's basically no way tbh yeah

sterile moss
#

the triple was the third group of orbs and you are already down 20 ticks from first 2 orbs

hard axle
#

might be a pneck null angle

vernal valve
#

i think the most likely answer is that 2 orbs are normal from yama p3, the 3rd slightly desynced one is just the ones that occasionally spawn as part of the contract. If that's the case, whether or not it spawns in time with the 2 orbs could depend on when you enter P3.

vernal valve
meager flame
#

ya i've seen people try several tricks to null damage and they dont seem to work

sterile moss
vernal valve
#

the orbs in that contract just always one shot you no matter what

#

if they go off ur dead

#

no way to null it that we know of

#

the contract also straight up says they kill you, so that's probably intentional

vernal valve
#

with that said that's all a guess. If the orbs are always synced and spawn at the same time like that then lmao impossible ig

sterile moss
#

it seems like its just a goof that they are full hp

vast robin
#

Delayed 9 days just for 2/5 to be impossible

sterile moss
#

if the regular spawning orbs are full but the p3 orbs are half its fine

vernal valve
unreal plover
#

bloodied blows is possible

#

but might be a bit rng reliant

vernal valve
#

it's possible now, they hotfixed it

unreal plover
#

nah not even that

#

you can splash on flares

vernal valve
#

oh that's what you mean

long sierra
#

p3 feels like the orbs should be half hp still in divine severance but spawning more frequently

#

but they spawn too frequently with full hp

wispy current
long sierra
#

im 4/5 atm but feeling unmotivated to tackle divine severance cause 0 clue how p3 can be solved

strong lintel
#

holy water?

tender harness
#

good lord

strong lintel
#

might 1 shot?

long sierra
#

trying to think if you can attack with a fast weapon to get it low enough hp to spec finish with purging staff

#

but nothing will deal enough dmg, they have 150 hp

vernal valve
strong lintel
#

it would be funny though

tender harness
#

holy water tech pepegahands

#

make it a thing

fiery epoch
#

Did jagex not test contracts

tender harness
#

no, nox did not

long sierra
#

what could you max with holy water

#

it is 3 tick so youd save 1 tick if you can holy water into purging staff

strong lintel
#

it would only work if it was like a custom insta 1 hit

long sierra
#

7t instead of 8t

#

per orb

wispy current
#

i thought nox said he did it?

ember token
#

it spawns 3 orbs, are they all the same color? or is it like, 2 red 1 purple orb

tender harness
#

No he did not do the testing

long sierra
#

colors dont matter in p3. no glyphs

small anvil
#

nox did not playtest these contracts as far as we know

ember token
tender harness
#

this is literal classic jagex QA

vernal valve
#

yeah they're the same color

#

1 spawned 1 tick earlier

ember token
#

hmm

fiery epoch
meager flame
#

i think most likely

ember token
#

i was gonna say maybe you have to kill the odd orb out

#

like if there's 2 red and 1 purple, you kill the purple orb and leave the red orbs

meager flame
#

its supposed to spawn 2 and there is another mechanic that spawns 1 and there is no internal cooldown

ember token
#

or something along those lines

meager flame
#

to prevent an unkillable wave from spawning

wispy current
strong lintel
#

its phase 3, there are no glyphs to protect you

meager flame
#

when they go off together

fiery epoch
#

Tyty

vernal valve
#

the contract constantly spawns orbs

#

the 1 tick off orb was probably from that

rain fulcrum
#

ngl this is even bad stream content its so boring wathcing p1/p2 over and over, same probloem as playing normal yama lolo

vernal valve
#

the 2 others were just normal P3 Yama spawns

ember token
meager flame
#

i just dont know how the mechanic works on its own

#

so yeah you might be able to just rng out an attempt where they're desynced

#

and its playable

ember token
#

like if it just wouldnt kill you if you did something correctly

meager flame
#

or maybe not

small anvil
#

was there hourglass ticks to save

meager flame
#

jagex is actually super bad about stuff like that too

vernal valve
meager flame
#

they almost never make mechanics put other mechanics on a short cd to prevent super unplayable combinations

#

so it would be a typical mistake

rain fulcrum
#

i love me some pnm husks into sleepwalkers

strong lintel
#

awakened vardorvis

long sierra
#

could theoretically save 3 ticks maybe with the meteor dodges but it still looks impossible

rain fulcrum
#

i know thats avoidable but

long sierra
#

its just so much hp to take down

#

depends on how the meteor falls line up

tender harness
#

tf is up with these yama contracts

strong lintel
#

rad how long does it take for a voidflare to spawn in divine severence

long sierra
#

it spawns 1 here and there kind of like medic in toa but then spawns a batch of 2 in between at some point

strong lintel
#

i might just go and check if holy water does something

meager flame
#

lol tbh

vernal valve
#

😭 there's no way man, it's a meme

meager flame
#

if the mechanic has anything to do with when you spawn into p3

#

the fix might be jumping back on the tiles far enough or something crazy

strong lintel
#

im buylimited 😦

meager flame
#

to delay yourself spawning in

#

but thats just crazy stuff trying to see if you can desync mechanics

modest estuary
#

nah that isnt it u can insta spawn into p3 insta get on orbs still isnt enough

#

its like chunk based on judge where u spawn p3 if ur host and stand on certain tile

#

ull always get da closest spawns

#

imo shit is just impossible

meager flame
#

ya im talking about seeing if the timer for spawning the extra orb will change based on when you spawn in

#

it probably wont work at all but like

strong lintel
#

are the orbs the same ones you get in the normal fight?

modest estuary
#

oo i z

meager flame
#

this is just broken most likely

vernal valve
#

even if it is somehow possible or it's RNG or something it's almost definitely getting nerfed/fixed when jagex gets the chance imo

#

so whatever

#

i think it's just cooked rn

modest estuary
#

ye i think its broken but im not rly mald its clear they dont rly have ppl to playtest difficulty lvls the hlc will b happy with so they def tuned it above a lvl they could do and hopefully will fix it

#

happy for 1 time it isnt released too easy xd

meager flame
#

the main takeaway here is please never release on a friday again

#

lmao

minor whale
#

Legit

strong lintel
#

are they out of office?

minor whale
#

Why the fuck lmao

#

Yeah until Tuesday

strong lintel
#

oof

modest estuary
#

tbf we could also still just be missing smth

#

i dont really see how but maybe

strong lintel
#

to be honest i can't imagine they would release this without having completed it on a friday

#

there might be something missing

modest estuary
#

all i know is im not losing any more gp its up to the ppl who get paid to play game xd

restive siren
#

there is a chance they have a handful of emergency staff to fix things on the weekend, many companies do that nowadays

#

will see

modest estuary
#

ig thats only part im mald about paying for each contract knowing that its maybe impossible to do atm

tender harness
#

Acquisition contracts are apparently despair

true talon
#

Muts right now..... "these contracts arent required for GM right??" "jagex uhhhh yea buddy sure"

small anvil
#

they already said doing any contract gets you the achievement

strong lintel
#

ima test holy water

meager flame
#

jagex should include the bosses for gm even if they decided not to

analog crow
meager flame
#

they should also make reasonable boss fights

#

that you know

#

work

#

but they'll have some time to fix that

strong lintel
#

it does 0 damage lmfao

analog crow
#

scam game

rain fulcrum
true talon
#

Seems jagex has taken the blizzard approach. release it fast and fix it later XD

rain fulcrum
#

Why should it not require all 5

meager flame
#

because they're silly

analog crow
#

That will be the new diary requirement

meager flame
#

its the same thing as people wanting to keep max cape when sailing releases while not being maxed

vernal valve
true talon
#

Hey people wanted a hard boss, jagex gave it to them

vernal valve
#

like they clearly reasoned out that forcing people to do these fights might be unreasonable and a bad idea with contracts as they were implemented

true talon
#

Sit down nerds

vernal valve
#

and instead of going "wait, may be we should reevaluate the system"

#

they went "well we'll just exclude it from GM"

meager flame
#

or when they talked about quest cape not requiring all quests

vernal valve
#

💀

true talon
#

Yama Claimer of souls and HLC tears

narrow folio
#

So oathplate acquisition, is it infinite if u clear every time and get a refund on the contract? The heck?

meager flame
#

at some point they need to just stop and ask what the point of an item is

strong lintel
#

it isnt

vernal valve
narrow folio
#

Or is that refund not for all contracts?

small anvil
narrow folio
#

Oh

meager flame
#

the refund is for cosmetic contracts

strong lintel
#

any acquisition that isnt pet you dont get refunded

true talon
meager flame
#

but really idk its simple

analog crow
meager flame
#

if you make a new hardest boss it goes on the gm helm

#

if you make a new skill it has to be done for max cape

#

quests for quest cape etc

rain fulcrum
#

Are all the acquisition contracts basically the same

meager flame
#

thats the point of those items existing

true talon
vernal valve
small anvil
#

some can't be done duo

rain fulcrum
#

That's really disappointing

#

Nice variety jagex

small anvil
#

oathplate is solo only

strong lintel
#

its functionally nice so that you can practice

analog crow
#

Are the oathplate aquisition contracts not available yet?

strong lintel
#

the insane difficult fight without wasting 80m

rain fulcrum
#

I guess so

small anvil
#

you can practice for consistency on worm contracts

strong lintel
#

i mean its still 7 variants on the fight total

rain fulcrum
#

How hard is it to duo the shard acquisition one

small anvil
#

then cash in oath i guess

vernal valve
strong lintel
#

i don't know anyone who has completed an acquisition contract

analog crow
#

I haven't even seen an aquisition contract fight

vernal valve
tranquil river
#

I hate this, legit i need a break from this game. Never been this pissed after an update

small anvil
#

streamers all going for the recolor

rain fulcrum
analog crow
#

no idea what it looks like

vernal valve
#

eveyone's focused on the oathplate ones

vernal valve
meager flame
#

its also because those contracts cost so much

#

that odablock would think twice about sending them repeatedly

tacit pendant
#

Making 5 and then sending them unfinished is......

analog crow
#

yeah 70m entry ticket is way too much

tacit pendant
#

Just make 1 really great one

strong lintel
#

thats why the worm one is the same

rain fulcrum
#

Yeah that's why I'm interested in shard acquisition

strong lintel
#

so you can practice lmao

vernal valve
#

oathplate could have just been 1 contract, maybe 2. contracts like worm acquisition just should not have existed lmao

rain fulcrum
#

It's duo and only like 6m so 3m an attempt per person

analog crow
#

And they could have rolled out the contracts gradually

#

it would also keep Yama relevant for longer

rain fulcrum
#

Seems like contracts is yet another system that sounds cool when they pitch it

#

Then is just crap in reality

strong lintel
#

the garunteed drop ones are cool imo

analog crow
#

One contract released each week or something

#

7 weeks of Yama

rain fulcrum
#

I like the idea of the guaranteed drop ones

lofty sinew
#

the bloodied concept is the only cool one. due to the dmg it's not a 10+ min slugfest

rain fulcrum
#

But I think they shouldn't be lost on death

lofty sinew
#

the rest are way too long and tedious imo

rain fulcrum
#

Yeah I can't even watch the streams

#

It's so boring

long sierra
#

man im so upset about divine severance

vernal valve
lofty sinew
#

by the time you complete p1 divine you're already p3 on bloodied

strong lintel
#

i mean there is a range of speeds just like the range in awakened bosses

true talon
#

Ya 1:39 awakened vard vs 13 min whisperer XD

rain fulcrum
#

Could bloodied be viable for money or is still slower than a normal kill?

lofty sinew
#

isnt all of these 10 min except bloodied?

strong lintel
#

you don't get loot

rain fulcrum
#

Oh

#

Lmao

strong lintel
#

you get a sigil

lofty sinew
#

you can get unique loot

rain fulcrum
#

I thought it would be loot+sigil

strong lintel
#

oh you can?

lofty sinew
#

ye you just cant roll regular loot

analog crow
#

I thought regular loot was disabled

meager flame
#

yeah they made sure you're absolutely not allowed to get regular loot

#

but you can get uniques

#

for

#

honestly

strong lintel
#

are uniques more common?

meager flame
#

i have no logic that makes sense for that

lofty sinew
#

imagine i got 90 worms from my 10 min divine contract that is a one time completion

#

it'd have ruined the economy

analog crow
strong lintel
#

tbh the reasoning is probably that they replaced the table with the contract so you always get it

#

back*

meager flame
#

yeah but they dont have to do that they can do tertiary drops

#

they just

#

didnt

#

the pet even takes a loot roll away for this boss

#

because fuck us i guess

#

at least for the pet though it was hotfixed into the game

#

so maybe they couldn't quickly fix it

vernal valve
#

p. sure the pet thing is fixed now

#

unless that was misinformation

vocal harness
#

this whole contract fiasco is like a trainwreck in slow motion

#

its taken them a week to raise contract rates to about what i said they should be pre-release

meager flame
#

you dont understand

strong lintel
#

seems a bit dramatic, the new boss is fun and the items are cool

meager flame
#

we know you all absolutely hated these mechanics but we had to see how you would react to them again for no reason

vocal harness
#

like it was patently obvious they were too rare. Idk why it took them so long to realize it

meager flame
#

oh yeah the drop rates are insane

vernal valve
meager flame
#

i laughed when i looked at them

#

i saved my dossiers after their update too

#

because it was obviously pathetic and not going to fix the problem

#

and they had to giga buff them after that lol

vernal valve
#

i really think the contract release today has gone much worse than even the most pessimistic people expected it to

meager flame
#

it paid off too honestly the dossiers i saved turned into like

#

almost 50 contracts

vocal harness
#

i only saved two dossiers, but I never got scrolls from the other ones so its fine

meager flame
#

sometimes i feel like they're just probing to see how far they can take the bullshit with drop rates

#

to extend playtime as much as they can

vernal valve
vernal valve
meager flame
#

im pretty sure they just actually got blindsided by something very obvious with oathplate

I think it really is just an issue of a lot of balance decisions falling to individual jmods working on a given project

meager flame
#

i believe they honestly did not think through tradable bad luck protection items

#

and what that actually means

vernal valve
#

Resulting in wildly varied droprates, item strengths, etc.

meager flame
#

they were probably sitting there calculating how long it would take 1 person to get the oathplate shards to make an item

#

and somehow didnt think for a second about what happens when people trade them and like 2342342423 people do the boss instantly

strong lintel
#

im sorry what is the problem with oathplate shards?

meager flame
#

you can crowd source bad luck protection

#

and instantly create tons of items

strong lintel
#

and thats bad because...

meager flame
#

where in cases like a SRA or vestige chances

kind surge
#

because oathplate is cheap as hell

strong lintel
#

its 138m

meager flame
#

you have to dedicate time to the content to actually profit from your time investment

strong lintel
#

and it generated a mining method that makes money, and fun smithing

meager flame
#

thus the actual realized gains from partial credit are 0

#

for anyone that doesn't stick it out

#

but if you can trade it you flood the market on the spot

vernal valve
meager flame
#

the difference is thousands of items

vernal valve
#

mark my words

meager flame
#

basically

torpid delta
#

50m feels high

kind surge
#

also 138m after only a week LOL

vernal valve
dusty shore
#

wtf will yamas gp/hr be at sub 50...

kind surge
#

that is so little

strong lintel
#

it was 120 yesterday

meager flame
#

yeah it makes sense though

#

people dont have to spend time on the boss to benefit from the bad luck backup system

strong lintel
#

i understand that, why is that a bad thing

meager flame
#

so we're just seeing the maximum output from the content at all times

strong lintel
#

you still need to process the shards lmao

meager flame
#

oh its bad because its generating items at an incredible rate

#

and their value is crashing through the earth

#

it should've just been a system to help people out that spent a bunch of time with the boss

#

and maybe didnt get the drop they should've

#

but instead its just an additional lane to create tons of items asap

vernal valve
#

it's a problem of longevity. looking at it and shrugging and saying "well, it made a skilling method profitable!" is insanely short sighted, because in a year from now the skilling method in question will be worthless and yama's gp/hr will be in the gutter

kind surge
#

just give the bots some time to mine more shale

meager flame
#

the skilling method is honestly too good anyways to be profitable

vernal valve
#

not to mention the inevitable knock on effects to other melee gear and the methods to obtain them

meager flame
#

long term

#

it took me a week to get 450 shards on my iron

strong lintel
#

i mean it does front load the market adjustment by making items available quicker, but honestly im fine with that

meager flame
#

guess how long it took me to 3t enough shale to make the item

vernal valve
#

it's not really about speed, it's about quantity

meager flame
#

im not even sure if it was an hour of shale

strong lintel
#

ok so nerf the drop rates more?

meager flame
#

they should make the oathplate shards untradable

strong lintel
#

then there is no reason to mine shale

meager flame
#

you'd still need shale for them but yeah

#

thats fine though

vernal valve
# strong lintel ok so nerf the drop rates more?

the problem is i think the actual oathplate droprates themselves are fine, and nerfing them enough to offset shards makes the boss feel terrible to do even if the gp/hr maths out bc then you're spending an ungodly amount of time between unique drops

meager flame
#

the skilling method is the most unnecessary and biggest reach i've seen in a long time from jagex

strong lintel
#

i friggin love the skilling part of the update

meager flame
#

they're out there doing backflips trying to shoehorn as much content as they possibly can into this

tacit pendant
#

I mean consistent money through shards only would still feel fine

meager flame
#

and making super questionable decisions

#

trying to cater to absolutely everything

#

we're gonna do

tacit pendant

I like big drops but others like shit like vorkath or collo

tacit pendant
#

If they went in with a very coherent "this will not be a big ticket drop boss", things coulda been ok

meager flame
#

oh i forgot wealth redistributing

#

see this is what i mean

#

if you just actually type it out that shit is crazy

tacit pendant
#

What has helped my mental is comparing the armor to masori rather than torva and just coping that nex bad.

meager flame
#

everything that people are complaining about with all of this content loops back around to jagex's attempt to actually cater to anyone thats breathing and playing osrs

#

there is no focus

rain fulcrum
#

Every update has to target everyone

#

For some reason

meager flame
#

tbh this is the worst its ever been

#

they just refused to focus on a couple of things and do it well

#

and tried to just rope in everything

tacit pendant
#

This update just target early adopters cuz uh, this week has been the easiest money of my rs career

rain fulcrum
#

They basically outright lied by calling Yama an endgame duo boss whrn it's neither of those

wispy current
#

What if oath is low because the boss is actually fun and torva is so high bc no one likes nex

strong lintel
#

thank u tuan lmao

rain fulcrum

Torva is much longer to get

vernal valve

tacit pendant
#

I dont wanna have the "endgame" convo again, but its atleast pre-inferno tier with dt2 bosses.

Also nex is not dead content thats a horrible arguement, shes not my fav but every world was popping last month

#

Nex has been consistently farmed on nearly every world 24/7 since fang blood fury meta made everyone with 100m have a great shot at propelling into endgame

meager flame
#

the real problem they're running into

wispy current
#

I dont like tradeable shards at all. Someone with a ton of gp can just make insane bank for zero

vernal valve
meager flame
#

is that they made a competitive set to torva and is situationally better (very very common situation too)

#

and got reality checked by the nex drop rates

#

they obviously cant 1 up that and make people happy

tacit pendant
#

Torva itself is funnily enough like orbs. Its only used by post 3 megas crowd, but gives hella money to dudes in rags

meager flame
#

the same thing would happen if they made armor to compete with inquisitor

vernal valve
rain fulcrum
#

as much as ppl meme inq its much better balanced than oath

#

its pretty much always bis for crush

meager flame
#

and it just completely crashed after the drop rates not being sane got exposed

#

by reasonable drop rates

rain fulcrum
#

but only good against crush weak bosses

meager flame
#

people only say thats good rn

#

because jagex doesn't make those or have actual good crush weapons

rain fulcrum
#

imo oath should at least have negatives in other styles

#

to troll your mauls

meager flame

so you can mostly just file it away under the who actually cares section of side grades

Depends on your goals

If you want to delve more into endgame, then main is ideal

At the end of the day, we are doing the same grinds whether it’s for gp/clog/progression

i mean im an iron and while if you're asking if i've ever staked anything the answer is yes but

it was totally irrelevant to me playing an iron

i've never staked anything on specifically osrs tho

#

i legit just think the game is better when you go do the content and earn things yourself instead of trading and potentially skipping over content because its not time efficient gp wise

#

thats why i play an iron at least

naive arch

Couldn't you like make a muspah thing where for like 2 venators bows worth of mats, u could trade it for a heart or untradable version for irons

narrow folio
true talon
#

But iron for the progressive journy feels great.
Your not just getting 90 herblore so you can make your own overloads, your able to now save 2 inventory slots on producing super combats.
Your not just getting 85 smithing, your doing it to process your boss drops into gp to get a maxed house or purchase runes for your pvm.
Almost every skill interacts with ironman game mode fairly well. and the worlds feels more fleshed out.
now there are downsides of being stuck at something you honestly hate due to bad rng where as a main can go do content they enjoy to produce the gp to buy the item.
But getting the item yourself is very satisfying.

meager flame

some people would probably disagree but seeing the item appear on the floor in front of me will always be 10000000x more exciting than watching my ge offer complete

and taking the item out of it to use

and the game actually lets that happen

you dont have to come back and grind at the start of seasons or get locked into specific group sizes

and they dont invalidate anything you previously did

you dont just log in and find out your barrows gloves are now trash and you need to spend 20 hours doing the new barrows gloves 2.0 content

agility was one of them

as well as gathering skills being another

#

sea charting and port tasks were kind of the sailing unique experience

and port tasks where you would take cargo around was pretty rough

just running back and forth with crates on the dock was pretty insane hopefully they let up on that and let you just pick up and get back to sailing in one trip

They probably saw a shitload of streamers all saying it was shit content and a buggy mess so someone had to go in at midnight and flip a switch to toggle off duo encounters

#

Which

#

It was

obsidian venture
#

He had a ie take of all time

minor whale
#

Lemme guess he was saying it was fine and people probably just didn't know a mechanic

chrome lantern
#

Surely they will learn from this and actually try to do the content before they release it in the future

obsidian venture
#

Also apparently Widega finished all contracts now

# obsidian venture

reminder that sae bae is a pretty subpar player that just has a lot of time and should not be yapping erm

obsidian venture
#

Pretty much

#

Feelsbad for the folks sending for 12+ hrs now

Wait, could people have brought a partner in and never tried

#

That's hilarious

obsidian venture
#

Down hundreds of ml

#

its 2am erm

small anvil
#

The solution was to just duo it

chrome lantern
#

Goblin thank you for your service

small anvil
#

They told us all along!

ty lenny, rice, goblins

Duo endgame boss

Glad all the streamers still stuck on 3/5 sit rats

#

I had a nice day of continuing to pretend like contracts don't exist

sacred oracle
#

I've been moving all day, but watching over other people was fun

analog crow
#

It was fun seeing streamers crash out

minor whale
#

Probably not fun for Goblin to see why they were crashing out

winter hearth
true talon
#

This is what happens when jagex had to cave an make the contracts duo'able

true talon
#

shoulda stuck to their guns, just like the pet contract

minor whale
#

But the 2 meltdowns were pretty funny, even if valid

true talon
#

Caving for the pet contract and caving on duo contracts was a net negative for the game overall.

small anvil
#

Feel bad for other people who banged their head against this wall

sacred oracle
#

i don't actually know what a community manager does, so I choose to believe he floated above it all day

#

serene, detached

#

blissful even

small anvil
#

He's the punching bag for the community

minor whale
#

He was in the trenches looking at all the hate for Jagex and taking the downvotes on Reddit any time he said anything

true talon
small anvil
#

Has to apologize for jagex and be the face of the company

#

And take bullets for things that aren't their personal fault

minor whale
#

Probably watch a lot of streamers calling it a shit update and be the guy who has to tell the team the feedback

sacred oracle
#

sounds awful, let's start a godfundme to buy him a lasagna

Thankless job DuradelSalute

#

A lesser man would have succumbed

#

the rate increases for contracts feel much better, but yeah, QA was rather disappointing

wet smelt
minor whale
ember token
#

did anyone clip him putting together or using the sigil

#

does it cost runes like the blorva kit

minor whale
#

Yes

#

10k aether

#

Each piece

true talon
#

lol

chrome lantern
#

🤮

true talon
#

thats 30k catalyst as an iron i have less than 10k in 300 kills.

chrome lantern
#

Why is that even a thing

#

It shouldn't be a thing for sanguine torva either

true talon
#

thats crazy lol

ember token
#

lol i was gonna guess aether runes, irons get fucked

minor whale
#

Yeah I'm at 125kc and have not even halfway to 30k aether

wet smelt
true talon
#

Literally gonna take you 1k kills of yama to get the aether catalyst lmao

sacred oracle
#

was the 10k aether thing a joke? i refuse to consult the wiki

chrome lantern
#

I'm only at 5.5k yeah

minor whale
#

That's a lot of grinding aether and then only using them on the armor

chrome lantern
#

Yeah I already felt like I was never going to use aether runes

#

This is just even worse somehow lol

analog crow
#

Lol

30k aether is steep

I bought 2k aether runes yesterday to save me an entire inventory slot for master clues
