icy relic
#

yeah they should do it sooner rather than later

meager flame
#

they just said lets do that after release

icy relic
#

and figure out the narrative/lore for the item

#

this stuff is important

#

the lore provides the context for the item existing

meager flame
#

i think jagex needs to learn about the rule of cool

#

even though im sure certain members of the staff will hate it

icy relic
#

rs3 has that in spades

chrome lantern
#

Is that the rule that red and black everything isn’t cool

#

Or what is that

meager flame
#

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

icy relic

RuneScape Wiki

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...

meager flame
#

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

chrome lantern
#

“Varlamore p3 weapon has to be a slash weapon for lore reasons, guys” (It’s definitely the prince’s saber)

meager flame
#

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

chrome lantern
#

Or remember when they said the Venator bow “only makes sense as a bow” like lmao what

meager flame
#

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

chrome lantern
#

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

hasty shard
#

demons are as holy as monks, just a different god

chrome lantern
#

Or as simple as that

hasty shard
#

like kekw whuh

chrome lantern
#

Yeah

meager flame
#

ya thats the normal result

icy relic
#

zamorak exists

#

lots of zamorakian prayer items

meager flame
#

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

icy relic
#

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

meager flame
#

i do think its easier to make excuses like that than to say something like

chrome lantern
#

Is there even any lore to oathplate and horn and stuff

#

Like clearly you can tweak that however you want

meager flame
#

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

hasty shard
#

nope

icy relic
#

I tried to pitch some lore

hasty shard
#

oh right didnt they shut down calling the armour oathbreaker/keeper for lore reasons too

icy relic
#

jagex didn't call me ofc :^)

chrome lantern
#

Man I wish they didn’t hate prayer bonus

hasty shard
#

when like inherently what is an oathplate kekw ??

#

it doesnt make less sense

meager flame
#

well

hasty shard
#

i'd prefer oathbreaker/keeper tbh

meager flame
#

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

chrome lantern
#

Oathplate’s only lore is that it comes from you making a contract

meager flame
#

you'll get why it has to be oathplate

hasty shard
#

dont stand ground to suck off another piece of media imo

meager flame
#

yeah im just saying its shardplate for osrs

#

cant make the reference if you call it oathbreaker armor

icy relic
#

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

chrome lantern
#

Keep us away from RS3 lore though

meager flame
#

and tbf to them

icy relic
#

but we can't have that because everything RS3 is bad

meager flame
#

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

chrome lantern
#

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

icy relic
#

strongly disagree, there was a lot of fantastic content well through EoC

meager flame
#

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

hasty shard
#

oathplate is soylent green

icy relic
#

but game is permanently hamstrung by shit development cycles and mtx

meager flame
#

at least they picked good fantasy to reference

#

usually good games too like dark souls

icy relic
#

nothing in OS comes close to GWD3 in grandeur even if it did completely ruin the economy

meager flame
#

better than the days of dj khaled getting added to osrs

chrome lantern
#

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

hasty shard
#

can we just 1:1 port arch glacor or something

meager flame
#

i've said this like 234242 times

#

but they actually should have the original glacors in osrs

chrome lantern
#

Not saying there wasn’t good stuff in RS2.5

#

But the game overall moved in a bad direction

meager flame
#

that would learn some people a few mechanics

#

as a bonus they're also an elemental weakness npc

chrome lantern
#

Naturally they’d have to be weak to air, knowing Jagex

meager flame
#

lmao i would laugh actually

icy relic
#

"they're floating"

meager flame
#

yeah jagex would probably go crazy contemplating that one

#

they're made of ice but they float

#

what do

chrome lantern
#

“Why not both?”
“The game engine can’t count to two”

icy relic
#

ah but it's like bony ice, which is hard, so maybe they have to be weak to dirt

hasty shard
#

what mechanics do glacors have pepeclaws

chrome lantern
#

idk either tbh but I looked them up once a few years ago when someone mentioned them

hasty shard
#

rs3 wiki says nothing

icy relic
#

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

meager flame
bronze kernel
icy relic
#

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

chrome lantern
#

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

slender vapor
#

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

chrome lantern
#

If they make the changes soon enough I might use it on my pre-trident gim

#

For group raids

icy relic
#

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

chrome lantern
#

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

thick beacon
#

but thralls puts sang on top

#

could see ppl using it in team raids not rrly solo

#

esp as mains

obsidian venture
#

Last calc I saw in a cox chat

#

Dunno if they added thralls

thick beacon
#

even then like u lose thralls every other room/melee hand etc

obsidian venture
#

Yeah

#

Could be ok on a budget iron

thick beacon
#

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

obsidian venture
#

Probably not worth

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? peepognomeblush peepognomeblush

Do we have a timeline on chiseling emblems for ether?

ember token

nope

austere mulch

plush gull
minor whale
plush gull
#

that wouldnt solve anything for challenge runs tho

true talon
#

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

hard axle
#

I still think the contracts should be ultra rare, but not vanish until you complete it erm

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

plush gull
hard axle
#

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

plush gull
#

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.

ember token
#

[[kalphite queen]]

ornate wolfBOT
ember token
#

the methods exist, you just dont want to do them

chrome lantern
#

"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

ember token
#

yeah it really doesnt need more sources at this point

chrome lantern
#

It didn't need KQ either

kindred fox
#

let me rephrase, without bossing, or 2.5m

ember token
#

[[grand exchange]]

ornate wolfBOT
kindred fox
#

HCIM

ember token
#

[[deiron]]

ornate wolfBOT
chrome lantern
#

Why should it be available without 2.5m?

tacit wharf
#

sounds like ironman is not their gamemode

chrome lantern
#

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

ember token
#

sorry but c'mon now, this is crazy levels of catering you're asking for

kindred fox
#

just makes no sense to me, drag harpoon and drag axe don't need to be recrafted for 2.5m

chrome lantern
#

Nor does the dragon pickaxe

kindred fox
#

It does though, if you get the broken dragon pickaxe from volcanic mine, it has to be repaired for 2.5m

chrome lantern
#

Yes

#

The literal 10th method added to the game to get the item

small anvil
#

there's like 10 ways to get the dragon pick

chrome lantern
#

Actual 10, I counted

small anvil
#

and you're complaining taht this extra one costs gp

ember token
#

the dragon harpoon and dragon axe don't need to be repaired because they're significantly rarer drops from their skilling only sources

small anvil
#

like... if you dont like that method there's others

chrome lantern
#

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

chrome lantern
#

Chaos elemental, Callisto, Artio, Venenatis, Spindel, Vet'ion, Calvar'ion, KBD, KQ, VM

ember token
#

if you think the dragon pickaxe should drop fully repaired, sure, but it would also be like a 1/1k drop

chrome lantern
#

I mean tbh at this point the dpick is what, 800k?

#

It could drop full and it would barely matter now xd

tacit wharf
#

only cuz the wildy bosses are botted to hell

earnest marsh
#

Also voidwaker is so popular

obsidian venture
#

2.5m is pretty cheap anyways

bronze kernel
#

I need to go back to Volcanic Mine for the log slot

slender vapor
#

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?

sacred oracle
#

none yet

violet delta
#

@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 😦

restive siren
jovial sentinel
#

-Gives an estimate.
-Someone has to ask for something more accurate, expecting you held out info for some reason

warm epoch
#

He's asking if they know when he can expect the dates, not the dates immediately

violet delta
warm epoch
#

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

restive siren
#

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

violet delta
#

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.

restive siren
#

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 peepognomeblush

fair comet
restive siren
#

We maybe have different views on whats a reasonable question then but thats fine

#

hope its early enough for you 🙂

plush gull

any predictions for this update? id bet 100k they'rel make yama contracts only deleted on completion

warm epoch
fossil epoch

2 times in a row we see a 15 min downtime, interesting

chilly portal

So wat update is later today or something

plush gull

plush gull
#

pride event & yama contracts only deleted on victory

  • better way to get contracts

  • asian servers

fossil epoch

nah

plush gull

  • blood ornament works as echo orb and also alternate pathway to get the echo orb
fossil epoch
#

hopefully the clue stacking update passed the tests and is ready to be shipped today

plush gull
#
  • salamanders not deleted on death
fossil epoch
#

the fact we have a 15min downtime, might mean more engine stuff related to sailing

chilly portal
fossil epoch

Soul wars might get its lootboxes shafted today

rocky sky

/timestamp

#

what is the command to see what time it is in your local time?

chilly portal

plush gull

no that was an hour off

solar dirge

oh right, they didn't use the timestamp thing for the official ping (why)

plush gull

i cant find an online calculator that doesnt use my timezone automatically

solar dirge

so the 45min notification is in an hour and a half ya?

sand lichen

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?

long downtimes and yama changes baby i hope the 200 people that do that content are happy pain

surely we get stackable clues and those summer sweeps after the summer

ember lion

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

base yama was good

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 😄

silver steeple

they could have just done these 'fixes' last week with the 10 hour downtime shrug atleast give us a lil taste of something

plush gull
#

was there even any mention of pride in last week's update blog

true talon

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??

now we wasting yet another week on useless tweak to contracts

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

silk ruin
# winter hearth No firm ETA atm

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. 🙂

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

@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 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

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.

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

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.

# jovial sentinel Make it perfect first try, but also noone can agree what perfect is

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.

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”

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

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.

The fly methods yes. But it doesn’t really remove the fight wws

if you cant flick prayers every 8 ticks thats literally jad

thick beacon
#

well i mean some ppl ive seen call it similar to boak at tob

obsidian venture
#

You have to flick prayers while doing dono fly

thick beacon
#

u netrualize crabs with boak but it takes knowlege to do

obsidian venture
#

While being tick perfect

true talon
#

thats not hard at all,you change your prayer while clicking to your next tile, prayer swaps dont interrupt movement

obsidian venture
#

If it’s not hard then do it 👍

true talon
#

you get 8 ticks to pre-change your prayers before next movement

thick beacon
#

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

obsidian venture
#

As is with any method

true talon
# obsidian venture If it’s not hard then do it 👍

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.

boss cant be difficult if it dies before it does its mechanics.

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

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

infernos alot easier when u can just make blobs invisible with 1t to

olm harder to if u deal with specials instead of skipping them

true talon
#

all the contracts are mage only, because its harder XD

obsidian venture

Wish @winter hearth could see this 🤣

thick beacon
#

solo fly cycles are much harder ontop of added mechanics of wacky waves/contract restrictions

obsidian venture

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.

turning corp into a chicken is fine, or reducing every boss in the game to 0 defense is fine.

And it is by mage, not by the melee method

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.

Think any fly is harder than 'mage the dude' though, and we suspected it'd be a thing because it's a scripted encounter

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

"Mage the dude" is the only strat I've learned so far. Can confirm, it's braindead enough for me to figure it out.

#

idc what method is harder my guy.......

obsidian venture
#

But you do as you keep yapping about it

true talon
#

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.

obsidian venture
#

If you didn’t care we wouldn’t be having this conversation

civic ginkgo
#

You can't complain about one, and then say the other is fine

true talon
#

you just latch onto some dumb wording of me saying herpa derpa the mage method is harder than my bando's melee method.

obsidian venture
#

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.

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.

obsidian venture
#

Bringing up a false statement

#

Nice

#

Just say it’s your opinion and move on

true talon
#

bringing up that base yama is easier than expected, because killtimes are half of what they expected? thats a false statement lol.

obsidian venture
#

They didn’t expand on that part, hence you’re assuming

true talon
#

your always trolling, i think its time to put you on ignore.

so do u want ppl to mage yama as the meta?

You just lack game knowledge

#

Which is whatever really

obsidian venture
true talon
#

I want the boss to freaking live in p3 long enough to do its intended mechanics of flares and dual waves.

thick beacon
#

idk how they would deal with fly doing what your saying though apart from making melee really bad

obsidian venture
#

they’d chain orbs like medic

Yay more of a shit fight for everyone

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.

thick beacon

can do nofly to engage with more of mechanics as well
