yeah they should do it sooner rather than later
they just said lets do that after release
and figure out the narrative/lore for the item
this stuff is important
the lore provides the context for the item existing
i think jagex needs to learn about the rule of cool
even though im sure certain members of the staff will hate it
rs3 has that in spades
nah its the
"who cares if it matches the lore this is cool so make it happen"
they keep using lore as a reason to make unpopular or contested decisions
https://runescape.wiki/w/Ek-ZekKil my beloved zuk sword
The Ek-ZekKil, commonly referred to as the Zuk sword, is obtained by combining an obsidian blade, magma core, and ancient hilt, all of which can be obtained after defeating TzKal-Zuk in Hard Mode. The sword itself is a tier 95 two-handed melee weapon which requires 95 Strength to wield. It is the second-strongest two-handed melee weapon in the g...
and honestly the game design is first and they just write supporting information to make it make sense after the fact
in most sane scenarios
“Varlamore p3 weapon has to be a slash weapon for lore reasons, guys” (It’s definitely the prince’s saber)
yeah thats the perfect example
there are several others like when they quoted armor being demonic so it can't have prayer bonus or whatever
Or remember when they said the Venator bow “only makes sense as a bow” like lmao what
they're creating barriers that dont even exist
like omg this is from a demon i have to figure out how prayer bonus gets excluded
lol they could just not
I mean that’s even as easy as “you’re more holy because you purged/reclaimed this weapon from a demon” and leave it at that
demons are as holy as monks, just a different god
Or as simple as that
like
whuh
Yeah
ya thats the normal result
they just design whatever because thats the best gameplay then write some stuff up to make it sort of make sense
after the fact
but they seem to not be doing that
and idk why lol
It's more like they don't make an effort to reconcile stuff with lore
because they can't explain why we can't have cool stuff
i do think its easier to make excuses like that than to say something like
Is there even any lore to oathplate and horn and stuff
Like clearly you can tweak that however you want
we think theres too much prayer bonus in the game and thats why if you pay careful attention you'll notice that we've been removing prayer bonus for the last several years
nope
I tried to pitch some lore
oh right didnt they shut down calling the armour oathbreaker/keeper for lore reasons too
jagex didn't call me ofc :^)
Man I wish they didn’t hate prayer bonus
well
i'd prefer oathbreaker/keeper tbh
oathplate does make sense you just have to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_of_Kings
The Way of Kings is an epic fantasy novel written by American author Brandon Sanderson and the first book in The Stormlight Archive series. The novel was published on August 31, 2010, by Tor Books. The Way of Kings consists of one prelude, one prologue, 75 chapters, an epilogue, and nine interludes. It was followed by Words of Radiance in 2014, ...
then once you realize they're just in love with the series
Oathplate’s only lore is that it comes from you making a contract
you'll get why it has to be oathplate
(general sentiment)
dont stand ground to suck off another piece of media imo
yeah im just saying its shardplate for osrs
cant make the reference if you call it oathbreaker armor
I guess at the end of the day, I'm just perpetually salty that RS3 laid the foundation for so much great lore AND gameplay
so many legendary weapons from great characters in the RS world
Keep us away from RS3 lore though
and tbf to them
but we can't have that because everything RS3 is bad
we aren't breaking an oath at all so oathbreaker actually didn't make sense
people just thought it sounded cool
which is fair enough
The game went in a poor direction a long while before EoC
Not saying OSRS is perfect by any means though bc it’s not
strongly disagree, there was a lot of fantastic content well through EoC
im curious if we're going to find out that oathplate is sentient though
or if they'll just stick with tacking radiant onto the kitted set to do the double reference
and leave it there
oathplate is soylent green
but game is permanently hamstrung by shit development cycles and mtx
at least they picked good fantasy to reference
usually good games too like dark souls
nothing in OS comes close to GWD3 in grandeur even if it did completely ruin the economy
better than the days of dj khaled getting added to osrs
Before EoC, we had:
-Summoning and dungeoneering moved the game in bad directions
-Graphics moved in awful directions
-Lore moved to the player being a chosen one and the gods appearing directly
Those are just the start of the bad stuff lol
can we just 1:1 port arch glacor or something
i've said this like 234242 times
but they actually should have the original glacors in osrs
Not saying there wasn’t good stuff in RS2.5
But the game overall moved in a bad direction
that would learn some people a few mechanics
as a bonus they're also an elemental weakness npc
Naturally they’d have to be weak to air, knowing Jagex
lmao i would laugh actually
"they're floating"
yeah jagex would probably go crazy contemplating that one
they're made of ice but they float
what do
“Why not both?”
“The game engine can’t count to two”
ah but it's like bony ice, which is hard, so maybe they have to be weak to dirt
what mechanics do glacors have 
idk either tbh but I looked them up once a few years ago when someone mentioned them
rs3 wiki says nothing
basic move 1 tile away from icicles, spam click if you get frozen, range/magic prayer switching
at 50%, spawns 3 adds that imbues it with different mechanics depending on which add you kill last
there's one that makes it mega tanky, one that makes it drain prayer, and one that makes it periodically explode
arch glacor is an incredible fight though
all the gwd3 bosses were so much fun
it also teaches people to stack up npcs in certain ways and decide which to kill first
Spam click if you get frozen you say? *Ring of stone stonks intensifies*
glacors are kinda janky by modern standards but ironically enough I feel like jagex was doing elemental weaknesses better back then
with ice strykewyrms taking double damage if you had fire cape on
and magic was in a really good place with storm of armadyl/polypore and the magic formula giving +3% damage per boosted level
now magic is in a horrible spot and the only thing that's keeping the entire style afloat is how disgustingly broken shadow is
and how it just ignores all the rules
I mean honestly magic has been broken since they designed it to have damage based on tier of spell
And then tried to cobble together powered staffs and it just became more and more evident
Adding magic % gear etc
Every additional step they take shows the cracks in the fundamental foundation more and more
Even elemental weaknesses are a band-aid on top of three band-aids

DHW with its giga buffs are funny
They released it and it was shit
They giga buff it and weaknesses
And it still won't be used at olm
Most likely
Haven't seen calcs on it yet
If they make the changes soon enough I might use it on my pre-trident gim
For group raids
it's still going to be 5T right
so if you're soloing with it you'll have to learn the shadow rotation
and idk if the range lines up either
It doesn’t
First thing I wondered
Then immediately answered in my mind
You can’t longrange-acc
You might be able to just go back to the back instead though I didn’t try that
But either way it’s not the exact same
i think its better then sang
but thralls puts sang on top
could see ppl using it in team raids not rrly solo
esp as mains
Last calc I saw in a cox chat
Dunno if they added thralls
even then like u lose thralls every other room/melee hand etc
6% not enough imo to make it worth
ye its good its just idk how feasbile it is to route huey in early on iron
i think being able to push rigor would be nice but getting wand still seems a pain
Probably not worth
@winter hearth are there any plans in the works to permanently unlock the awakened bosses?
Don’t ping the jmods mate. 🫶🏽
I had the option to so I didn’t think it was an issue, but good to know for the future, no worries!
Your fine , I just know mods don’t like it lol.
lol I hear you
Sick pfp btw
Thank you! 😄 Yours is sick as well! 🙂
Kinda hard to do something “cool” when your name is a number lol.
The shogun helm was a nice touch for sure lol
Lol yeah I like it , might change my pfp color theme to be more Japan like since the whole space vibe doesn’t match it
Not for the time being no, or at least none that I'm aware of
fwiw I don't mind being pinged, just that there's every chance I'm busy with other stuff and miss it - so don't take it personally if I'm not able to respond to it in good time
Legend
Hey Goblin just wanna say ily and think you do a great job working with the community
Cheers beast, you're v kind!
Menaphos when goblin 😂
not any time soon
No worries, I appreciate your reply! Thank you!
Would love if Awakened Bosses were also 10-25x drop rate for pet 
Thank you, come again
Ehh awakended bosses is just cosmetic armor, nothing else, but if your bring pet eph boost, thats a different thing
Any eta on part 2 summer sweep?

Do we have a timeline on chiseling emblems for ether?
nope
.
It’s a pipe dream that they do away with orbs and contracts.
Have they mentioned what this week's game update will be?
nope
Hopefully letting surge pot cooldown tick between rooms at tob and allowing Soulflame horn to work with dragon claws as polled 
You already know that d claw change ain’t coming lol or it would have by now. It’s just another idea that was proposed and then walked back on.
nah theyve mentioned being open to perma unlock for awakened bosses
idk whats going on with contracts tho, hope they fix those this week
I don't recall seeing that
I do remember a JMod saying they're open to contracts dropping from completed contracts for cosmetics, and that he's not opposed to that same system for awakened orbs.
But not "perma unlock" unless I've missed that
https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/nkwiwFVWQd
that wouldnt solve anything for challenge runs tho
I felt my suggestion was solid for fixing both problems as the system gate keeps the loot and not doing the boss.
They are using the same system in the summer sweep up for bryo and obor
I still think the contracts should be ultra rare, but not vanish until you complete it 
Pet contract could be fine to refund on kill and consume at start.
making them dumb common is why some of them are 50k now
yeah not vanish until completion is a great solution
You can’t balance these to the satisfaction of the playerbase because it’s either too expensive to grind
or it’s too worthless to grind
make blood kit an echo orb and make contracts depleted on completion, problems solved
tho i guess blood kit being an echo orb might not help with restricted accounts doing weird challenges where just getting 1 awakened kc is the challenge
it looks like 10hp accounts can do dt2 🤔
@winter hearth Can we get an alternate way to obtain a dragon pickaxe? Something that doesn't involve wildy or 2.5m coin.
[[kalphite queen]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Kalphite_Queen
the methods exist, you just dont want to do them
"I want a thing but I don't want to pay for it or put in effort"
Throwback to dragon pickaxe at 9m
ToA release
yeah it really doesnt need more sources at this point
It didn't need KQ either
let me rephrase, without bossing, or 2.5m
[[grand exchange]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Grand_Exchange
HCIM
[[deiron]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Ironman_tutor
Why should it be available without 2.5m?
sounds like ironman is not their gamemode
I don't see how that arbitrary number matters
It already has 10 sources
You're excluding yourself from 9 of them
And refusing the 10th
sorry but c'mon now, this is crazy levels of catering you're asking for
just makes no sense to me, drag harpoon and drag axe don't need to be recrafted for 2.5m
Nor does the dragon pickaxe
It does though, if you get the broken dragon pickaxe from volcanic mine, it has to be repaired for 2.5m
there's like 10 ways to get the dragon pick
Actual 10, I counted
and you're complaining taht this extra one costs gp
the dragon harpoon and dragon axe don't need to be repaired because they're significantly rarer drops from their skilling only sources
like... if you dont like that method there's others
It was the 10th method for dpick, added explicitly as a cater for skillers, when the pickaxe was 10m and adding it without a repair fee would be a significant impact on the profit from the ore packs
KBD and KQ are the HCIM cater options
This makes sense now
nvm
Chaos elemental, Callisto, Artio, Venenatis, Spindel, Vet'ion, Calvar'ion, KBD, KQ, VM
if you think the dragon pickaxe should drop fully repaired, sure, but it would also be like a 1/1k drop
I mean tbh at this point the dpick is what, 800k?
It could drop full and it would barely matter now xd
only cuz the wildy bosses are botted to hell
Also voidwaker is so popular
volcanic mine
2.5m is pretty cheap anyways
I need to go back to Volcanic Mine for the log slot
Ngl, VM is fun
As an iron i'm glad that pickaxe drove me towards VM because i was coping with wildy boss rng

any info on todays update?
@fading token hello sorry for another annoying @ in the discord but the other day you mentioned DMM dates would likely be autumn which is great! However do we have an estimate on when the dates will drop? I’m only concerned because I need 2 months notice to put in leave for work and I cannot miss my favorite RuneScape event with my pals 😦
Think he said in another channel already that they dont have exact dates yet
-Gives an estimate.
-Someone has to ask for something more accurate, expecting you held out info for some reason
He's asking if they know when he can expect the dates, not the dates immediately
Yes he did , he replied to me thanks for that, however I’m asking if we have an estimate on when the dates will drop. Thanks
Yeah, like a "we'll finalise the dates a month in advance" is an answer to that question
Which honestly is about the timeline I expect fwiw
seems like the answer doesnt change anything, either its early enough for the 2 month notice or its not, nothing you can do about it
Thanks for the expert armchair answers here from the people that weren’t tagged or understand the question however il leave it to the big man himself, the answer changes a lot actually to me. previous deadman seasons we have had dates up to 5 months in advance and some only 1 month so its a fair question.
its a common courtesy rule in this discord to not ping jmods that are not currently active in the chat
but nothing says you are in the right more than reacting with clown emojis so i guess you win that one bud 
While you’re right for the other J mods. Mod Ash is an exception to that rule. It’s okay to mention him with a reasonable question when he is inactive.
We maybe have different views on whats a reasonable question then but thats fine
hope its early enough for you 🙂
any predictions for this update? id bet 100k they'rel make yama contracts only deleted on completion
Do you understand the question though lol
2 times in a row we see a 15 min downtime, interesting
They sure expect people to shower
i still click some crap in shower
must be something else
bro my dysexic ass read that as 'i still crap in the shower' 😭
why dont they do the discord timezone thing for the game announcements 😦 can someone do it
how many hours and minutes until downtime
if anyone is BST type <t:1749609000:R>
or does anyone know how to do it if ur not BST
/timestamp
<t:1749609000:R>
no brits here huh, i think zendairy is swedish, i bet other people are american
Well its something like 730am or something there atm
Whats the update today?
Also im aussie so def not an american
Probably pride event if they r doing one this year
downtime: starts: <t:1749641400:R> <t:1749641400:F>
45 min before: <t:1749638700:R> <t:1749638700:F>
danish, but close
i believe you are off by an hour btw
its in 1 hour 40min till countdown
That seems like normal update sort of time
So wat update is later today or something
no its earlier
we dont know what it contains
pride event & yama contracts only deleted on victory
-
better way to get contracts
-
asian servers
nah
- blood ornament works as echo orb and also alternate pathway to get the echo orb
hopefully the clue stacking update passed the tests and is ready to be shipped today
- salamanders not deleted on death
the fact we have a 15min downtime, might mean more engine stuff related to sailing
Yeah gl with that
Soul wars might get its lootboxes shafted today
Well a mate of mine went looking for the bot worlds to stack a few points last week and none of them were on so nuke the bits there then shaft the crates?
there isnt one, they should use markdown
<t:1718094600:t>
ty
you posted it fine 10 minutes ago
oh right, they didn't use the timestamp thing for the official ping (why)
i cant find an online calculator that doesnt use my timezone automatically
so the 45min notification is in an hour and a half ya?
arent updates basically always happening at this exact time
why is there so much fuss about it haha
- daylight savings is a thing 2. I'm riding high on that clue update copium
<t:1749637800:t>
ye so its always the same time, and for half the year its +/-1 hour
that one looks right
its just the 15 min downtime we will have
this one but +15min
Today update timing
wiait did downtime get increased?
well its the normal 45min countdown, and then it was announced the servers will be down for 15min before going live again yeh
We can all touch grass for 15 minutes
5 minutes until ingame timer and update post (probably)
meh update
Where delve boss info
yeh thats anothing update
thats probably coming in August
why would that be a part of todays update?
thats part of varla p3
after the summer sweep up updates
💀
they didnt think about emberlight spec working on yama before release? and they disabled bolts entirely, not just making the damage boost not work, which would already kill the method?
cursed... just so cursed... what is the yama team doing
Isn't Yama already dead content unless your an iron?
they made death charge untradeable
This time, they are removing cheese
Because it’s coming in a month and we don’t know sht about it yet
what makes you think it's coming already next month?
prayer regens now vanish on death
thats the real nerf to yama
They have announced it long ago that its coming on july lol
so much harder now
slow news week.
no clues again?
cursed update and no mention of pride 💀
and the pride stream was made private on youtube
what is going on with this company 😬
its coming during summer which is as far as 2 months and 19 days away
but that wouldnt come in an update blog post
they meant australian summer, itll come early, in december!
tbh, jagex summer plans have gone past august multiple times
but hopefully this company goes bankrupt before then
why even be here? XD
Be mad about real things like no stackable clues yet.
love this game, update is w/e but yeah this is frustrating. now we're looking at a month after poll for a very wanted qol update
Whats the deal with thralls at kurasks
kekw?
People only playing osrs dont know the luxury that weekly updates are in the first place
Update smaller than expected ohno the World is crumbling
except this week wasn't an "update" it was a bugfix. mmo's pretty commonly bugfix weekly.
Never seen thralls used at kurasks before seemed very random to adjust that
Another nothingburger update..
Weekly updates are great, they do a wonderful job.
But small yama tweaks as opposed to releasing stackable clues again xD
kinda wish yama was dropped at this point xD
This!
Osrs announces their bugfixes like a new game update. Other companies just fix the unintended bug, without having to wait for a weekly update to do that 😄
long downtimes and yama changes baby i hope the 200 people that do that content are happy 
they just removed two instances of emergent gameplay and made regens vanish if you die to yama
Thats just not true, all mmos hotfix what is hotfixable and the rest gets fixed with the weekly reset
surely we get stackable clues and those summer sweeps after the summer
falador riots for stackable clues xD
literally I opened the update and ctrl-F'ed "clue" surely we could at least get some indication of when it's coming. I know they said a few days ago it was apparently in final stages
draining an end game boss so he does no dmg to you so even a low lvl scrub can complete the contracts, should be a hotfix don't you think?
though i wouldnt really call emberlight specs emergent… its just what the spec does…
It would be better but im not gonna pretend i know what code changes need a server restart and which dont
Summer sweep up update in Winter? Sounds like a good marketing 😄
Well looks like this one requires a 15 min down time.
crazy that it took this long if they wanted stats besides def/magic to not be drainable 💀 so cursed… this instead of addressing contract acquisition…
So umm, you are going to revert every player who cheesed yama right?
Nope
In the UK its been cloudy / raining for 2 weeks straight after we had 3/4 weeks of sunshine, summer has finished for us so thats next years summer planning, sorry to inform you of this news.
or nah we gonna let the exploiters stay winning. while everyone else has to just suffer though the more difficult fights. super glad we had to waste a full month on contracts nice update.
Yeah ngl Yama was a complete waste of dev time
base yama was good
Everyone knew there was a good chance it would get fixed, if you didnt use your chance dont complain
Exploit early
trying to apease to the elitism of autist is what was a waste of dev time
Debetable.
downtime or no?
Back in the days, bug exploits were a bannable offense, now its encouraged to see who finds a new bug abuse strat to make the boss easier/tolerable 😄
they could have just done these 'fixes' last week with the 10 hour downtime
atleast give us a lil taste of something
was there even any mention of pride in last week's update blog
Could have done these fixes the moment contracts cheese methods were solved.
going to be fixing yama until 2026 it seems - boring. Where poll84 changes??
yes there was.
now we wasting yet another week on useless tweak to contracts
couple of under the hood changes this week and next that we tend to keep quieter in case of stuff breaking, appreciate that this week isn't a particularly exciting one though
Ether/shortcuts still missing from Poll 84 are coming soon, just the 'under the hood' stuff I mentioned above playing into a slight delay
again*
Hey Goblin!
Any idea on when the sweep up changes could go live?
Surely before the varlamore p3 am I right?
Hi Goblin, anything regarding the stackable clues that could be shared 🙂 ?
Will there be any downtime this update?
Full oath set reached under 300 shee
So how is it fair that everyone who used cheese to kill the boss is not being reverted. considering now all future radiant attempt contracts are going to cost a massive amount more to learn. highly suggest a repeat completetion of attun and sensory before radiant is equipable.
they made regens not work in gauntlet grr graahhh
Yeh i was expecting something behind the scenes thats for stuff like sailing, or general updates for the engine.
I do hope we are getting to see a halt in yama changes soon though
As expected.
ngl im happy melee BIS is cheap.
I mean its supposed to be inbetween from Bandos to Torva, except when using Scythe.
Yama still needs changes, but mainly base yama. contract yama should be left alone for once.
Base yama still needs proper phasing.
Same here, have been a little more removed from it since Sweep-Up got moving
No firm ETA atm
halt in yama changes 💀
as someone with not a insane bank, im happy to have just oathplate in bank while focussing on weapons. better for 300m then a 1b torva set or whatever it used to be
also still bangs with noxious and SRA so yea
Can we all send some appreciation to mr goblin for their speedy replies to all our venting
Hey goblin,
How would the team feel about moving contract health % to base yama. were he phases at 75-50, because currently the end game boss dies before he can do anything "end game" in p3.
No we can’t goldy
I hope they do all the summer sweep up changes, including the resource drop rework before pushing in a new boss.
Lets for once try to be proactive, instead of nerfing/adjusting and changing a new content for the 50th time. 🙂
We should've fixed it quicker if we were going to do this, the boss and radiant is going to be around for ages, also think most people seem to agree that the 'hardest' of the contracts is Sensory Clouding which isn't majorly impacted by these anyway
harmony contract back up to 6m
6m to do one unique boss fight with the only fun mechanic from yama release
10x worse than orbs
any eta on stackable clues implementation @winter hearth ?
back? its always been floating around 5-6 lol
Not sure if I'm able to share anything for the time being
all good ty
awakeners orbs 2.0: 6m if u wanna try the fight
Looks like I am, early July for stackable clues
the real question is will next week be yama part 11? or will we get nothing at all and just a 15 minute downtime?
😭
Melee armour gives by far the least amount of str bonus, so no need to upgrade to Torva until your super rich really.
yoo
im a simple man i dont care about the contracts/orbs
It’s evident JAGEX is laying off JMODS
most people dont care about yama that much is my guess 
im still there and i enjoy base yama.
yeah exactly why im happy that oath is cheap. i bought it at 125 but im not planning to ever sell so its no loss for me and helps me progress further right now instead of later 😄
i wish i could not care about yama but they made death charge untradeable so i gotta pay hundreds of mil for boosts if i want it
Its not even that useful atm tho.
why? you got some weird account? getting dosiers isnt that hard right
killing the boss normally instead of trying to dharok it might help
?you can go with any duo for free. you just need 100 kc.
its actually pretty nice at some places. like its a direct buff to phosani nightmare for example with more specs from husks
anywhere with spawns that you do kill its nuts at
its exteremely useful and fun in colo
gameplays that add new mechanics to other content and make them more fun should not be locked behind dumpster fire "endgame" bosses like this
Yeah at pnm it could be great.
@winter hearth is the team still looking for feedback & looking to iterate on sweep-up changes?
still have no idea why you cant do regular yama for the dossiers*... ?
bro just get base 80s and send it
Its not an endgame boss by any means lol
i'm not gonna clamor like yama has wonderful balance but its 100 kc 😭
show me a clip of someone doing yama with sub 50m gear
I'd say its inbetween of Titans and Entry mode Toa
it's such a easy boss a noob in my clan did it with ahrims and purging staff
Entirely depends on how much traction your reddit post can get
You can do mage only in like 65m gear, so what are you complaining about?
grandmaster quests and >50m gear... thats by far the highest requirements of any boss released, except solo tob/nex
awakened bosses, inferno, colo, are all much easier with half the gp in gear
Dont feed the troll
Ren you was here talking so much bs about how much contracts were going to cost you, meanwhile ur talking about a sub 50m setup? so ur poor? so why even be bothered about end game cosmetic contracts? weird as hell man. blocked ur obv baiting
depends on the nature of the feedback, if it's 'you should also do this and this and this' then likely not within scope - but if it's worth writing down then I'll write it down always!
Just check rens history to realize responding is a waste of time
yeah no worries, wont ever have to see that person again
Thanks for the info.
As in base Yama? You could do it with a literal untradeable weapon
get arclight click boss
arclight often misses on void flares
So uhm, can we stop calling it ''end game'' boss? 😄
Ren is angry about any update to be fair, today the only contract thats fun is the 6m one
last week it was bloodied blows that was the only fun one
I'm afraid we do not. Sorry.
and arclight charges take tens of hours to farm
plus, arclight is very dependent on other melee gear, it doesnt work well with void unlike other items
learn donofly you scrub
You can do the Inferno at sub-40 Combat, there's all kinds of stuff you 'can' do but I don't think outliers should always denote where something is targeted
donofly has nothing to do with killing flares
We do agree that Yama at its 'floor' is probably easier than we'd have liked though
to his defense you kind of do need someone with a purging staff lol.
manually cast demonbane
ngl i wish i could
that doesnt 1shot
doesn't need to
not mandatory tho, just eat up before they go off 😄
u can do with trident but theres not a boak method that ive heard of that accounts for 2 trident hits

Could go lower, may go for sub 100k or something crazy in the future. This was a fun little challenge, wasn't too bad took a few tries for me to stop reading chat enough to not die p2 lmao.
M...
Think that's below 50m
You can fix this by moving his phase transitions. to 75-50.
tbh the dps diff at yama is kinda nutty
This will be addressed in next week's update? Or are we waiting for 3 years to make a change, like with Toa? 😄
idk it costs a lot of money and time to burst for shards
"keeping prices low, so we only using a rune defender instead of dragon defender" 
Dont think linking kirby who played tick perfect and is known for being insane as a justification that boss is doable with 1m gear lol. thats like linking 37 cmb infernal cape.
I mean its probably a few scb sips and sharks save for sure 😄
its still a easy boss overal. coming from a cheesecaper
For sure, but it's still doable in budget if you're desperate
So Bolt strat nerfed but hey exploit early and often on sigil pieces
Emberlight nerfed
Still nothing on acquisition contracts. these should be deleted from orbit
Great update 
anything exciting coming in june?
show me a budget kill that doesnt require spending hours getting arclight charges?
I dont think yama should be easy and definitely not viable in budget setups compared to what he drops but idm
hes not
Nothing super exciting as far as I know, but there's a lot going on 'under the hood' that mean we're playing it a little safer
Some people "exploited" early and often on contracts released, and completions were not possible, its not always the move
lol i think mage is more dps than melee for midgame setups 
He has a bit of a learning curve but me and most of my clan got it to braindead levels of a boss after like 50kc
Ah thats okay varlamore part 3 will be huge with lots to do, just hope it not another delveshelved situation. Summer is here!
Atleast using mage! I dont melee yama
halves dps when theres not a melee tank/enrage though
its ok cheese methods for radiant fixed, but the camp sigil strat to remove griefing tiles, allowing gnomemonkey to print 600m an hour is perfectly fine.
Delete acquisition contracts 
i've not looked at the contract kills really but im assuming camp sigil means the rag tiles just don't spawn on sigils
correct.
i mean acquisition contracts
Glad you guys waited with the soul wars nerf, since i just went over droprate for the pet with no luck, if you let me get it soon, you can update it for next week, no problem
im 4/5 i have seen my own handiwork 
@winter hearth thankyou for alerting the team about perilous moons bots, they are insane atm
Spindel bots are insane rn too
That's cool but when is jagex nerfing acquisition contracts
no way today's update is just "we made yama less fun"
Its the terminator ones too, so one cant just pk them lol
they're printing too many worms into the game yeah
Dude I know right
are the "405k macro bans" in the room with us right now?
Nuke the worm farmers 
based on this clip its 10 minutes per fight 💀 and with 250 arclight charges used, it will takes over 10 minutes to the shards for 1 fight...
so looking at over 30 hours for the death charge scroll
I love u JAGEX I acc love this game I can from rs3 to OSRS two days ago and im already 85 magic
quick lms tangent i swear people argue against the bots being annoying by saying to manual cast holding dds
and that just sounds like the dumbest thing ever

Get to end game before doing end game content. Go away
ren ill let you leach my solos for 99 kills. you just whack the boss with arclight an survive.
then on kill 100 you will get death charge
seems a bit silly to be using arclight as a benchmark though. emberlight is a completely reasonable base req for yama, and that would speed the fight up by about 20% and remove the charges issue.
just wait till they hear how much they spend on death charges with their new double death charge
how long do does updates take usually ?
Jagex refuses to nerf oathplate acquisition because it means they'll admit its a dumb design

usually 0 minutes, this one 15
just ping me 🤷
hes not even a bad player, he has done colo and uses garbage setups for that. they just wont go do WGS and get proper items for yama.
im waiting for the gp/h to even out
Itll even out at 500m/hr
considering it was like 600m/h which is more money than the average osrs players job
i think that might not be healthy? idk
like i have actual rwt concerns there
its wealth funneling, just in the other direction.
Oath going to end up at same price as bandos?
as the elitist get more gp they buy up pretty much anything of value, just like when BTC controled the 3rd age market an when his account got banned, sky rocketed all of it.
@winter hearth are there actual plans to adjust oathplate acquisition contracts? Or at the least monitor them. 600m an hour right now screams RWT. While yes short term one would wait out for this to level out, this doesnt seem healthy, at all.
sooooo when r the stackable clues comin
i don't understand the problem with very hard content being very rewarding
fwiw i hope it balances out 
You cant adjust them, you have to outright delete them. or remove the strats that are causing them to be easy. (sigil camping)
remember when the updates were only 2 minute downtimes?
I 'member 
assuming the current acquisition grinders continue to grind them, how long until the contract supply runs out 
Wanting to see where the market shakes out, but the '600m an hour right now' doesn't seem accurate? They're like 9 minutes a kill if not more, discrepancy in price between contract and most expensive oathplate piece is 20m. 120m/hr assuming no deaths whatsoever and not factoring in supply costs or any downtime between kills, and that 120 will likely come down considerably as market adjusts. Mess up twice and you're down money. Appreciate the concern but team want to keep an eye on it
How long downtime
there is rewarding and then there is extreme, id say 600m an hour for a select few is quite a bit of extreme.
Most updates are literally no downtime, it's an exception to the rule these days if there is downtime
600m/h is what gnomonkey said it was whenever he figured out how to farm it iirc
i just cba to grab the current gp/h 
you can read goblin's post there to see that 600m/hr is way overblown. might have fallen for some clickbait on the first day these were being solved
huge props to the team for getting to the state where downtime is rare instead of weekly
downtime =/= bad implementation, sometimes downtime is a necessity to deliver an update safely
was truely horrific before ngl 🇦🇺
even if its 120m/h thats still extreme.
If you want more bots for a bot busting stream, check out Black Chins, Wilderness Agility, and Vet'ion. Huge KCs at Vet'ion with 10k-20k and a lot of 99+ Agility and Hunter bots still out there 💀
Its also a chance for some to.... 
#game-update message
Early July
it is for sure, but if you're quoting 600 and it's already down by a factor of 5, it stands to reason that it'll likely reduce further as the market adjusts, which is what we're keen to see
Spindel
Are people actually complaining about 15min downtime? Half the mmo type games I played had like 3+ hour downtime
gear up and get some of that money if you think you can. otherwise it just sounds like you're bitter that other people are gaming harder than you
people dont seem to understand that its not 600m/h at all, there will soon be pretty much no more supply of oathplate acquisiton contracts, they dont come into the game nearly as much as direct oathplate pieces, they wont affect the price longterm, and eventually the contract will just be ~ the same price as the most expensive oathplate piece and be like a 15-20m/h end game money maker for the very best of best players, who the hell cares, stop spreading panic and chaos for no reason at all
how long will this update be this time?
i could care less about how profitable bosses are if people are allowed to play them for fun
harmony contracts costing 6m per entry is not ok
10 min left
ty
holy moly, it's the smash hit card game that started from a manga!
after several weeks of u crying about this, i think we all know
Yeah, the 1 tick entangle full gear swaps really give it away 😂
oh hey i said 'was 600m/h' so i get to cop out lmao
Is this update really necessary? I'm missing a lot of woodcutting xp
just seems like more then norm amount of maint makes me fear sailing if theyb cant get this right lol
Do the contract and you make 2.5m
still the best game played 😉
MTG is better tho
Enslaved rat is that you? 🤣
turn one KOs 😦
Isn't it a player driven economy? We can just bring down the price ourselves?
what if ur a restricted account that literally cant kill the boss but you still want to fight it
if you lose round you bad js
I cannot assume that this is in good faith
"Just draw the out"
dont restrict yourself?
Not a rat but I'm sure enslaved
ren is so clearly baiting it's crazy
Can you guys log in?
Nah he's a player with 200m wc xp
gm rats 
challenge runs are as popular as speedruns imo, i cannot assume that what you are saying is in good faith 💀
you cant randomly put restrictions on your gameplay experience, and then expect the entire community and the developers to feed you content adapted to your chosen style of playing
im just realising radiant contracts are the new 'warriors guild rune armour is an insane moneymaker'
If you're restricting yourself then it's on you no?
Oh lol
guys if you kill glyphic attenuation you get a 1m contract every kill!!
why are people downvoting the update
based af W mod
Server is still down for another 7 mins, my guy
because its been non stop lol
7 minutes wow, that's a whole pk trip
They have the time to since they cant play
Tbf im on my phone in newfoundland right now, and delayed on news. Last I saw was 600m. 😭 it just seems excessive in general is all.
challenge runs and speedruns are popular way to play games
awakeners orbs and contract prices basically make entire gaming communities that would otherwise be thriving, extinct before they can get their foot off the ground
oh
Downvote the update I was in merchant mode and someone was buying something from my marketplace and game crashed!
Hey sorry if I’m in the wrong place but are DMM points supposed to reset? Or will my points from a few DMM’s ago still be there? Asking because for some reason it says I have 0, is this because the current DMM store situation or is it actually the case
@winter hearth any information on if yama transition can properly happen at 66/33 and work like stosegg that once he reaches this hp he will teleport you, also it would be wise to adjust base yama to same rules as contract being 75-50 so that players need to engage with his wave skipping and astral flare mechanic, currently when he phases at 29-33% into p3 he literally dies before doing anything.
i was doing vork so thats a nice 100k relogin fee lol
Soteg-style transition would be nice if its possible, yeah
The elemental wizards south of Falador now correctly take damage from all elemental spells except their own, which heal them instead.
interesting, do we get extra XP for healing?
u only got dmm pts from last season
tbh, that's on you lmao
I think Orbs need love for sure and could do with the 'repeat' treatment - though there's some risk that the unique prices from DT2 bosses become warped around those, I'm not 100% convinced they would be but there's a chance. The Contracts do return or profit you if you complete them - if you're getting competitive then I'd presume you're still up. If you're playing an Iron then you're already somewhat gated because you're 'forced' to put time in for supplies to keep up in the first place. I think we might actually agree with each other here in the end
Oh no, you made self imposed restrictions (that you can adjust by the way) and now you complain some content isn't accessible to you.
It would be the same as if Karamja locked UIM would complain that he can't access Toa, because its out of his self imposed region restriction 😄
imagine healing on defensive casting and losing Defence XP
I'm curious if things like corp will still work post-update, since Ember/Arc spec's purpose of "reduce the attack, strength, and defense of demons" is unintended behavior
That’s, pocket change wym? Meet me at GE and I’ll give you the 100k
it is rewatching pokemon and missed the small warnings
Don't ruin corp for me. I bloody love corp.
I'm an iron, so maybe give the 100k to some f2p noobie or bot 
na i need a plugin that improves maint warnings
I think the 'transition guaranteed at this %' isn't possible with Yama for some tech reason or another (cannot claim to understand it but I've mentioned it to devs before). The transition % swapping I think would have been a good thing to do but not sure if the devs would feel comfy making it this deep in for base Yama
If I can word this correctly.
What was the intent of acquisitions being a guaranteed piece, vs just either just rolling additionally on the unique table or buffing the unique roll by a fixed percentage?
I have a little handy one: learn to read hehe 
I was in merchant mode and someone was buying my scratchi/itchi pet. Game crashes.
but they had no problem doing it for contracts? that makes 0 sense. base yama should be slightly more engaging. if its something you gonna haveto do for thousands of kills and its meant to be end game. the boss shouldnt just roll over an die before doing literally any mechanics.
Corp's fine, it's been around forever, as is Tekton in big scales if you fancy it, my understanding is that the devs felt it overly cheapened some parts of Yama but might dial back on it being a complete switch-off on offensive drain.
p3 in a duo literally ends before the 70 tick flares spawn even if you have arclights
You all are speaking another language
Think this stems from contracts taking so much longer at the time and feeling like a huge slog through 'meh' to get to 'the good bit' where you can just insta-die and still slog through 'meh' again. Didn't feel as necessary on base Yama where kills go by a lot quicker, but it probably would improve the feel of the fight I agree
Also contract yama has proper phasing
Why is base yama being doable in cheap gear a problem when cg exists
i was doing them like yesterday I don't thiiink they do
Think this was just some element of risk vs. reward that actually feels like risk vs. reward in PvM (where Colo tried to do it but doesn't really). Dropping GP on one and having a chance that you might not hit feels bad if it's a really hard fight, similar to Orbs - could have gone with the 'repeat drop' route but think the devs wanted to try something different
having to do p1 and p2 for 10 minutes is just painful when p3 has the only interesting gameplay
but i dont really like yama, the flares arent fun
tbf, I don't think that's comparable
his phasing still has the same rules afaik
na they need a better wayt of notifying us. at least aothers launchers tell ya its coming this its buried in bs
the phasing is important, because often you will risk dps checks such as flares and if your close to phasing you ignore them, well if boss decides to say im not gonna phase and the mechanics pop, well thats not very fair now is it. its same if stosegg was gonna phase but he shot the ball an your not able to skip.
Perhaps not in the scope of what you can speak on goblin, but are we going to get an official update on Pride this year? A lot of us have seen the Pink News article and it kind of stings having to read that from a third party
we pay we gay 
Ping me when games up someone??
it was already up
Up
game is uuup
Anyone else got problems taking things out of the bank? I can do everything but as soon as i take something out i disconnext
As a wow player, nothing is worst than incorrect boss hp phasing or timing issues with phasing.
Dcing every 3 seconds yes, cant use bank either lol
yama triggered that PTSD lol
Why not? Bofa with full crystal is the 2nd best range setup in the game no? Cg requires 0 gear, yama can be done in cheap gear but it's not really sustainable if you're using arclight charges.
I am disconeccting abd cant take anything out of the bank without a dc @winter hearth
CG does require 0 gear, but it has the prep phase and can be quite difficult to get fast and consistent clears
Bunch of exciting stuff coming this summer it looks like, thanks for the info goblin!
what client're you using? and what region for world?
Not running into the same on C++ or RuneLite on my end
UK 514
Runelite
Aussie servers w533 runelite
@winter hearth just wanted to check if something can be done about mixology bots, there are 10+ in every world, several with 50m+ experience
Others got same problem it seems
D'you have any bank-related plugins turned on?
First thing i would consider is to start disabling plugins, we've launched an engine update so some plugins may require updating from their developers too.
Its not just bank, im dcing even just trying to click logout
No i tried turning all off. As soon ss i take something out i disconnect
Dont got problems on mobile
at least you're logged out then lmao
Happening on mobile for me
F srry to hear bro
Have you restarted RuneLite since the update?
Yes twice already
Budget yama kills arn't exactly easy
purging staff is
This makes sense
i think it's fine fwiw. melee is faster and harder and seems like a decent balance
Every instance of it? Think RL might need updating alongside - will look into it, most people reporting that a RL restart fixed the issue for them
Made a new empty plugin profile on runelite. Problem still there.
It does not register taking something out of the bank (atleast TOA Bank) without „connection lost“ into a disconnect - into nothing was withdrawn from bank
Ill try reinstalling
if youre on the pc, fully end task of the client via task manager and such before relaunching too. and give it a second to catch up.
Mine was disconnecting any time I pressed buttons like spec attack, switch world, friends list, but restarting Runelite fixed it
Seems to be fixed on my end.
Trying now
For mobile users please make sure your application has been updated via the relevant spp store too
Sad that the Glyphic cheesers are getting away with an easy completion of the 2nd hardest contract, but I'm glad that it's fixed going forward
@winter hearth do u know what happened with sunfire splinter bots, they were being banned when i reported them after the feedback change went live, but for the past month i keep seeing the same ones i reported day after day and & splinters are at their lowest ever and still crashing
I was crashing every time i used weapon spec, but it helped when i restarted OSRS mobile app

hey, when can we expect the summer sweep up update to drop @winter hearth , ive been stockpiling mossy keys lol
this was same issue I had, try closing jagex launcher and runelite
gaming
Mobile working now!
Full crystal with bofa is also half the price of oathplate, that's a weapon and armour vs just armour. I really don't see the issue with base yama's difficulty tbh.
Also can the deadman nightmare staff be fixed? Specxing with trim on will resolve in no action taken, only spec gets lost
That seems to have resolved the issue thank you!
delve boss is slated before summer sweep, so we expect summer sweep to be in august.
@winter hearth are you aware the crafting skill guide shows thieving options
Talked about this issue 2 weeks ago and made ingame report. But nothing after 2 weeks yet. Pls lmk if you guys at jagex know about the deadman volatile staff not working @wary mist @winter hearth
@winter hearth why dont salamanders get kept on death like chinchompas, its crazy for people to permanently lose tecu salamanders to dharok when they cost mils or tens of hours to get
My Gricoller's Can has been deleted.. its still in my clog but not in my bank anymore?
@winter hearth i want to say that base yama was an amazing update, the fact it needed next to 0 changes and you had to waste a month on a useless hated systems (contracts, orbs 2.0, whatever you want to call it) has me excited for the delve boss. i hope to hear a release date soon for that guy.
Aware yeah!
Aware about volatile staff with dmm trim does not work?
Also aware yeah
Ok great thanks!
Are you dying to dharok?
no i dont do barrows, and i dont take the tecu salamander anywhere because of this...
My friend. There is something called prayer pots btw. Can use them to not die to dharok
i wouldnt bring a tecu salamander to chickens since it doesnt go to deaths office
Just keep your hp at 1 or higher, works for me
This is lack of knowledge on my part, where is tecu a viable choice with no great alternatives?
Ok my yama questions; I like the mechanics surrounding mage+melee there (mage getting more dps, melee stopping fireball spawns p3, in trade for more void flare spawns which feels really cool to deal with) that would allow for chiller kills, but there's some things that stifle it currently.
-
Would it be possible to have a way to guarantee who yama aggros p1? Messes with mage/melee duo roles if you can't have the melee tank actually well, tank. Bringing a full style swap to account for the random aggro is a lot of slot waste.
-
Could void flares count for contribution % for drops? you just lose out on contribution trying to deal with them which feels bad, and assumedly the job falls on the mager who is already at a dps loss, especially during enrage. If the solution is "just split", could yama just drop 50/50 by default then :v
@winter hearth My Gricollers Can looks like it was removed from my bank, it's still in my clog and Gricoller won't give me another one?
50/50 default is a terrible idea and will end in people getting boosted nonstop for drops
Cami, is that a tecu in your name?
If we see other reports of this then will raise it, can you drop me an RSN?
Lesser Noir
My 15 noted scythes disappeared. Please reimburse asap
no bonus xp for healing and they get aggressive when you cast it even though they're all like "gratias tibi ago!" god it's like living with my grandpa 
barrows is the main place ive heard of people actually losing them which is why i used it as my example
have you checked tool leprechauns?
there are also several CAs that require salamanders
Just don't get hit, ez
are there any other items that get deleted on pvm deaths with no way to reclaim them from death, now that chinchompas were changed?
Yes, I've never put it in there, regardless, no it's not there either.
where do i bug report?
Crafting skill guide is also showing thieving sections
team's aware
In-game, right click the Report button
ok ty
Will ask somebody to take a look, 99% of the time if we get something like this and it's not widespread then you've dropped it, but sometimes something is amiss
literally says how to submit a bug report on the message of the week screen, i even purposely put it there this week 😂 
do I have to report each individual scarab in a scarab swarm 
I don't recall dropping it, but thank you.
Runelite disc says restart client if disconnecting
I got the constant disconnects and just restarted, works fine now
Whens the rev emblems breaking update coming, been passed months???????
The crafting skill guide menu is opening the thieving skill menu instead?
we're aware of that one 😛
Scroll up in this channel. Alternatively try searching from messages from mod goblin in this channel and you will find your answer
Anyone able to tell the jmods that the crafting skill guide is showing the thieving skill guide? or is it better to just link older messages about this?
ty
Ermmm guys.... i have horrible news....
whats update
The crafting guide shows the theiving guide when i click on it....
Thanks for keeping us updated 🫡
Wouldn't have known unless you said
?\
my question is why tf are people even clicking on the crafting guide
Perhaps we can be quick and find a woodcutting method that provides agility xp?
hey guys whats up whats update?
I'm not sure, it could be to check the crafting guide, but I may need to do further research
maybe they had to find out to to craft a sapphire amulet?
Probably not themselves who found out, word spreads around these things fast, and then some people go and report it in here i guess
amulet mould aint going anywhere
heres the channel for all the updates, so you dont have to ask 5 times
Turn skill guides into electron app of wiki plz
Check the updates channel
helped if i pasted the link
i thought this what was thish channe lis for
Should be the first point of checking updates
Why would a channel with people talking be a place to post updates?
Rather than a locked channel
this channel is more for biger updates, and what we expect
exactly
ok then instruxtions unclear because this is the description
Discuss the latest game update! Check #game-news for the latest news post.
oh
now i see
Is this channel game news?
are they gonna take the game server down for the crafting skill guide lmao
I hope so!
probably not, it'll be a hoxfix
ash already said not hotfixable
oh
Then i hope so, if it annoys you
i did not see that lmao
what do u mean?
i've already fixed the skillguide for next week's update. However we could still bring the game down to resolve it should we wish to.
LMFAO
So it's gonna be like this for a week potentially?
Little bug at Huey I put a video of it in questions as I can't seam to put one here

report bugs ingame by right clicking the red stone by your chatbox and selecting game bug
no i know i wanted to show the video but will do
Bruh every week they change yama, what was the point of releasing boss if they change it weekly lol
These devs are so bad, miss og dev team
"give us constant updates"
"why are you updating content"
"make it perfect 1st try"

Make it perfect first try, but also noone can agree what perfect is
Dude the amount of bugs back in the day were wild. We have full transparency going on, is why it feels like they’re more.
I’m all for making people accountable, but our dev team really do a great job given the insane weekly task schedule they’re given. Cut them some slack. It’s not very easy doing a 7 day turnaround for some of this stuff.
Now obviously, some of this stuff is worked on weeks in advance, but you can’t possibly find every minute change when the spaghetti code is integrated how it is.
Who would ever think to check thieving skill guide when changing pvm interactions. 
This too - great way to put it.
to be fair, when i greenlogged yama, that was the point where we didnt need anymore yama updates 🙂
People seem to think that perfect is easy to find when we can tell the direction it needs to go. But we'll all stop at different places.
Facts, because perfect or what makes the boss good/difficult is subjective.
From my POV, base yama fit in nicely as a end game boss which can be completed by a majority of the player base who are technically end game (end game being 123 combat with max stats and some pvm knowledge around dt2 bosses like vard/whisperer) meanwhile other people have called it on the difficulty of scurrius lol.
And thats a mindset that screws everyone else over xD
I hope im clearly joking, or am i
Or are you xD
Some people struggle to realise that difficulty is down to the individual
And yeah, anyone saying yama is scurrius difficulty are immediately invalidating their own argument.
Anyone else stuttering after the update?
Whats considered endgame is so massively broad depending on who is asked, so jagex just has no way to make everyone happy
Pretty much.
I did, have you restarted the launcher and all that jazz?
like "you arent out of the earlygame until you got bowfa" also you need bowfa to start this earlygame boss thats clearly weeker than cg
its just elitism freaks who play 24/7 and operate their actual life on a tick system over seconds/minutes.
Saying bowfa makes midgame is weird.
Reminds me of “you need 5 years experience for our entry level job.”
i mean ive just hopped on, didnt re-launch
That only makes sense if youre rushing only that.
And ignore all else.
Ofc you'll skip early/mid
“Mid game” is everything past like level 70’s until you’re doing HMT and GM combat achievements with all the mega rares, I’ve gathered lmao
It's not even just in rs that people struggle with this concept that difficulty is different for everyone, look at the soulsbourne community, they can't comprehend that some people find some bosses easier
Hmm, what is your problem exactly bud?
currently chinning in mm2 tunnels, it's stuttering every 5 ticks
Does it say connection lost whenever it happens? Or just stuttering? That's what my issue was
just stuttering
like half a sec if that
People are having issues with connection, it could be the same thing just in a different way
Have you restarted in the last 20 mins? Or did you just get on before that? They said they fixed the issue about 20 mins ago, maybe a restart might help
got on 10 mins ago
Could be the world possibly? Maybe try hopping to another, but I'm kinda running out of ideas 😂
you're correct lol world 350
is cooked
oh nope
its back
i think it could be the chinning animation
(it is the chinning animation)
Is it? Is it different then usual?
so whenever you chin, the splash animation is creates is completely laggy
Weird, I'm not getting it
Are you delusional? Stop kissing their ass, they can’t even test contracts properly and release them full of bugs. They increased membership prices massively, plenty downtimes, firing of proper staff and keeping some nerds who can’t release a boss without editing it every week.
So basically lets release a boss make it drop this and that, next week lets change drop rates, then week after lets change it again, then a week after lets make pets more easier to obtain? Like wtf dude if you release a boss leave it, as people who worked hard to get it later feels like jagex feeding irons and so on by making it easier.
I really dislike how they adverised yama as end game boss and so, just to be disappointed with people not even wanting to do that boss anymore of how much jagex has ruined it.
Don’t fire people who do good for the game, get rid of people who decide these changes weekly.
You kissing their ass by feeding their ego like they do a good job? They aren’t doing a good job, if you keep feeding their ego they will soon increase membership prices again and you will have drop rate changes every 2 days, they don’t even poll it anymore yet its “community based voted updates”
ill restart my client
Let me know how it goes bud
still happening :/
Someones a bit angry in here, i wish they had reached a better release of yama, im sure they do that themselves, but i think overall the boss was a fantastic release, that people really enjoyed
Think folks are disappointed that duo was what was announced and it doesn’t really engage that. Plus endgame is questionable. The contracts are for sure endgame. The base boss is like 2/3 mid (p1/p2) and p3 feeling more endgame due to flares/waves and a method that engages folks
I'm at a lose mate, I've tried it in a few different locations and against different mobs, but it isn't happening with me
Its alright being disappointed, and feeling the content didnt live up to what you expect it to!
Calling someone delusional, and an ass kisser for like content, is a bit over the top
How is this feeding irons lmao. they just made it drastically harder for everyone by fixing the strats people were using.
checked my ping and it isn't ping related, im at a loss too lol
Overall not bad yeah
Goblin also just said it was easier than anticipated
Yama is a end game boss and plenty of people still do it an will continue to do it. and they are doing a good job with the updates. i do agree the contract system was a dumpster fire and we told them dont do it.
Id say last resort, reset your computer or phone haha, only thing I can think of at this point
Yama released with no contracts woulda been a 100% successful update
while taking some time to learn, all those "fly" methods really trivialised the boss early, making it very free, and mage solos could have been a bit more unforgiving aswell
Makes sense its easier than they expected, they thought the fight was gonna take 5 minutes in a duo. 5 minutes woulda meant you saw more of the astral flares and more mechanics in p3. sadly they let donoflyyamommasleepsontheweekend method live, dropping the boss to about 2:30-3 minutes with no actual interaction with the mechanics.
it doesnt stutter if it isnt in full screen
70 ticks into p3 you have your first mechanics, p3 ends before the flares or waves even spawn lol.
<@&385422009930219520>
I'm a bit out of my depth, but that could be a graphic issue?
Thing is, Jmods have said the opposite. It raises the skill needed to execute it
breaking the TOS in the offical discord is actually hilarious
oh shit lmao this is the official cord
If everyone was able to do so, sure but that’s not the case
the opposite? i had 2 statements? im thinking you meant the fly methods?
They probably liked them yeh, but they did end up removing most of the fight
making the content easier longterm
no the fly methods really ruined the boss, they dont increase the skill required. you are doing bando's. stuff like the 3 tick emberlight or even 4 tick mage p3 is way more difficult than some bando's tile running
because the community is so good at improving and teaching
The fly methods yes. But it doesn’t really remove the fight wws
theres plenty of ppl that dont do fly still and u still have to flick prayers
flick prayers? im talking about bypassing wave skips and astral flares.
Actually yes
if you cant flick prayers every 8 ticks thats literally jad
well i mean some ppl ive seen call it similar to boak at tob
You have to flick prayers while doing dono fly
u netrualize crabs with boak but it takes knowlege to do
While being tick perfect
thats not hard at all,you change your prayer while clicking to your next tile, prayer swaps dont interrupt movement
If it’s not hard then do it 👍
you get 8 ticks to pre-change your prayers before next movement
idt its that hard im just saying because there is a small learning curve ppl will avoid learning how to do it and not do it
As is with any method
its not, its literally bando's lol. it has trivialized the boss and caused it to be easier than it should. they can leave nofly but they need to either have the boss p3 be 50% like contracts or have the flares spawn soon so that the boss just doesnt die before doing anything.
i found out why lol
What was it?
boss cant be difficult if it dies before it does its mechanics.
i setup a new webhook in discord loot logger
but i was spamming it as i left the low value items in
i think u could say same stuff about olm gwd etc if u know strats u can kill boss alot "easier" even something like gwd solos is really hard for ppl
Truly don’t think you understand what you’re arguing
Ahhh yeah, that would make a lot of sense, I've been there but not while chinning, that must have been some hefty drop logs 😂
P3 mage is so much easier it's literally walk back and forth between 2 tiles
There is no comparison of difficulty to flying
It's just piss easy to do mage p3
yeah and it was screenshotting every loot
You’re trivializing what depth is in osrs without engaging in it
Which makes it very weird for you to argue for an easier method that lacks engagement
I had it where basically everything I did was getting screenshotted, I had like 5 GB of photos on my computer 😂
infernos alot easier when u can just make blobs invisible with 1t to
walk back an forth in a triangle that changes in 2 patterns, must pray correctly,must change prayer while dodging waves, must dolessdps than melee, must deal with flares while specing then clicking boss to utilize the reduced tick speed on flare kills. must dodge fireballs while dodging waves. none of this is done passively while clicking between 4 tiles like bando's.
olm harder to if u deal with specials instead of skipping them
all the contracts are mage only, because its harder XD
Wish @winter hearth could see this 🤣
ppl mage contracts cuz its easier
solo fly cycles are much harder ontop of added mechanics of wacky waves/contract restrictions
Tassili hasn’t done a contract and is just yapping lmao
The bolt spec and stat reduction tweaks to Yama feel extremely heavy-handed, and introduce a few more layers of ExceptionScape. I never used either methods, but I greatly dislike tweaks like this on principle. Unless a method is actually game-breaking, let the community be creative.
yea it wasnt game breaking, it was strategy to solve the contracts. they seem to not like that. but fine with same strategies ruining other content.
turning corp into a chicken is fine, or reducing every boss in the game to 0 defense is fine.
Weren't you just complaining that a boss shouldn't be trivialised?
yes. base yama shouldnt.
And it is by mage, not by the melee method
Which bit in particular? In and out of meetings so not following closely
But contract yama should?
@winter hearth about donofly
.
no contract yama should be solved however the player base comes up with, just like base yama has been.
Says the same thing daily on repeat
You should also see his takes on speedrunning
Still not sure if this is bait or not 
Lol, same
Oh fair, I guess different strokes for different folks, different people find different things difficult I guess?
bane do you even play the game anymore, wasnt you to upset someone scythe on 116 str instead of 118 in tob and left the raid.
Moreso saying that donofly isn’t engaging and mage is
Think any fly is harder than 'mage the dude' though, and we suspected it'd be a thing because it's a scripted encounter
What
I am a firm believer of treating people doing a job like humans. Just because I don’t agree, doesn’t just inherently mean they aren’t doing their job. It’s not kissing ass, it’s just being a decent human being. Being a Keyboard warrior does not make you hard. @vestal jetty
Complaining that a boss is too easy, then when they do something to make it more difficult to them complain again is wild
I play the game but not as much
they both are engaging. i said donofly is trivializing the boss fight by killing it before it does any mechanics in p3, which is true.
"Mage the dude" is the only strat I've learned so far. Can confirm, it's braindead enough for me to figure it out.
@true talon can you read mate
Open eyes for a second
Bolting and speccing it down is also trivialising the fight
idc what method is harder my guy.......
But you do as you keep yapping about it
my point is their view on the encounter being easier than they assumed, is because the fight ends in p3 before there is literally any mechanics.
If you didn’t care we wouldn’t be having this conversation
You can't complain about one, and then say the other is fine
You’re reaching
you just latch onto some dumb wording of me saying herpa derpa the mage method is harder than my bando's melee method.
The said the base fight is easier than expected. Not due to any method. As for the method, they said it’s more engaging than maging
I’m sure if you can read you can see this
I've been here all of 8 minutes. @true talon mate I've no idea what you actually want, you just kinda seem generally upset.
Avg complainer with 0 game knowledge
if you take me being upset then you are looking at this with emotion lol. i dont care either way, im bringing up a statement.
bringing up that base yama is easier than expected, because killtimes are half of what they expected? thats a false statement lol.
They didn’t expand on that part, hence you’re assuming
your always trolling, i think its time to put you on ignore.
so do u want ppl to mage yama as the meta?
Same guy that wants purging staff to be 4t btw
I’m never trolling
no.......
LMAO
I want the boss to freaking live in p3 long enough to do its intended mechanics of flares and dual waves.
idk how they would deal with fly doing what your saying though apart from making melee really bad
Then do that, no one's stopping you from prolonging the fight
u get that in contracts/solos more so
fly is fine, the challenge comes from the later cycles. but you never see that cycle, because boss is dead before the 70 ticks into the encounter.
Use blue moon armour
Which he can’t do
Talks about them but can’t do it
Classic osrs player
🥱
Go in with a whip or something, but don't try and tell people how to play the game
Crafting guide became a thieving guide (click in game skill)
guys this is not about me or personal reasons with the boss'
It's known
Didn't know, so thx 😄
Hasn't been discussed in a bit, so you're forgiven 😂
like i prefer doing solo cox over team cox cuz of hm more depth/engaging olm is. if u find duo yama easy just try out solo
its definitely way more complex
i have almost 1500 kc, idc about the method. im only suggesting how to bring the boss difficulty up and engagement up to match all this precieved (end game boss) ideology. this is not a personal reason.
can do nofly to engage with more of mechanics as well
