Rs could use the system, but would require massive changes, which i said before.
Ffxiv's endgame isnt dead.
Wasn't saying it was
With a purely soulbound, zero profit content
Why do we need to be taxed to delete items if ge prices don't matter?
I didnt say ge prices dont matter.
I said that as an opinion people have.
Ffxiv proves that isnt necesSary as a game loop.
soulbound is shit for longevityles+
Content doesnt need to be profitable in an mmo to have a healthy populatipn continue playing it
And yet.. make it fun, and people keep playing.
The focus on longevity for longevity sake is a scourge, because it means the game is made a lot less enjoyable as a result
.
Sure, they are a part. But thats not really fun.
yes it is
numerous instances in osrs history have shown that if the rewards aren't good, people don't do the content no matter how fun
Its actually very different.
in OSRS history
It contributes to your motivation
100%
But its differejt than fun
Its closer to addiction. But not
getting a tbow or a scythe is fun
If argue it isnt. Its a dopamine hit you're thinking is fun
Its enjoyable for sure
Just not fun.
Its not unfun though
it might not be fun for you, but it is fun to a lot of folks
Why are you acting like im against rs's system? Ive said multiple times that it shouldnt be adopted.
Again, what im saying is l, is that the system of soulbound has merit, and does work well
I'm not. I'm saying soulbound is varying levels of shit and that's all
.
Direct implication here
Even in the best case scenario where the rewards are rare, you'll have people unhappy here
I'm saying you might not think profitability of a content is fun, but others are
Thats kind of the problem with tradable. You rely on dopanine hits to keep people addicted and 'having fun', even they are tricked into it
Like, look at the people doing thousands of hours of stuff they dont find fun for upgrafes
And it works 
Yeah, it works.
Id say its pretty unhealthy though
and?
Ffxiv hasnt died out
mfer, u play an iron
Wow hasnt died out
The two biggest most obvious examples.
Havent even close to died out, ever
Even at the worst of times, you can find groups for end game content, or to progress story
yeah, and soulbound mmos are "alive" when they release items that 1:1 replace the old ones. MMOs need repeatable grinds, whether it's tradeable drops to amass wealth, collection logging, personal achievements, pbs, etc.
But in the end, people want to compete, which is why the addition of clog keeps a lot of people playing
I admit, there are problems with that, but they also dont need to do that.
We call these people "Ironmen"
We do, but that point stands.
"people" is a stretch
Like, the attack on soulbound as a system hasnt really had a good argument.
But rs isnt that
Like, saying rs should be soulbound is like saying we should have eoc
Its dumb
yes it has, it kills repeatability and if you balance soulbound by being too common or too rare, people are upset
But soulbound works super well when done right
u just don't want to accept that soulbound is fundamentally varying levels of shit
What the fuark is soulbound
I mean,, you're yet to have any proof that it doesnt
it drops untradeable and you can't sell it basically
There has been no solid argument het
it's bound to your character/soul
Ah like wow
there's plenty of argument if you were able to process what was being said 
modern wow isnt about repeatable grinds really
I mean, osrs with what 40% or something of its userbase enjoys the game more as a spulbound system even
its about finishing mythic or pushing io
And the game isnt even good with ut
bullshit
we calc'd this recently and its like 22% at yama
then dont make up numbers 
How easy is it to get bis gear nowadays
I remember devs saying something like 30%
Ik it used to be rly time consuming
jagex also only mentioned that people HAVE an iron
Or concurrently
not that they played it
In a game that isnt really designed for it
pretty easy with some caveats
Theres also like a million main throwaways
the number also doesn't say if ur a lv3 shitter iron or an actual endgame
Impossible to know for sure unless they say it
if u want to say that
this season u can straight up get 3 items of ur choice from the raid for free
Doesnt say the same for mains either
Like was rng af whether or not an item was thunderforged etc
if youve completed it once
Ooo
This wow?
And it's highest ilevel?
Im not familiar with current day wow, im an expac old
theres an upgrade system
Surely there is a graveyard of irons that got filtered out by cg
doing m+ or raid u get crests to upgrade stuff to max ilvl
Should they count as irons
doesn't wow basically have to re-release the same shit over and over so people don't quit?
Ahh that sounds nice. That way u don't have to grind a specific item again
Yeah, its impossible to know exact stats, but its likely somewhere in the 10-20%
Without cope
its a seasonal game
Mains are likely at shit prog too
every 6 months or so its a new raid & m+ season & gear resets
New raid new bis gear ye
They call that content
Id argue theres way too much devaluing
They could release items closer, but its also to help new/casuals catch up abd play asap
But it's less about grinding gear nowadays I assume? More about pushing raid/m+
yeah
Respect
Its pretty good, the community is just horrible
Thats why i dont play anymore.
Every time ive played wow, whoever i play with devolves into trying to get me to do paid carries
Dam mbe u suck xd
And im just like.... i want to gear and push, not gold farm
Speedrunning is such a small portion of the total gaming community no matter the game, which is why when Dark is saying shit like "oh you have plenty to do, just clog, speedrun, etc.", my face is just 
I mean, only good people can carry effectively
But ive hit gold cap in wow, rs and almost in ffxiv
Its just boring mostly, and you get just by being efficient
I didnt say that though?
Why do you put words in peoples mouths constantly?
speedrunning is a classic thing not rly relevant in modern wow
Jagex added GE Tax on December 2021 because of price declines due to Sand Casino being nuked and prices where no longer held up by rampant inflation.
I remember trying to get folks into CoX and when they saw that GPHR was less than Vorkath, they didn't want to pot something harder for less rewards, even if it was "more fun".
Ignorant irons act like GPHR and cost of uniques don't matter, but they do for a vast majority of the playerbase.
Yeah, speedrunning may as well be nonexistant in wow
Yeah, the idea of running for little to no rewards is always niche in any community.
Speedrunnijg vorkath 
how many people speedrun inferno compared to just doing inferno and how many compared to other pvm content
I used to think gp hr didn't matter but then they hit a fun piece of content (its gp/hr) and I found myself doing it less
soulbound isn't good for a economy driven game like osrs
It doesn't have to be the best moneymaker to be fun
and in my experience with mmos, soulbound gets worse the more common the uniques are
just needs to be something yeah
EXACTLY
call it unhealthy to want a game to last long or whatever, but that's why i hopped into this mmo
I saw 30-40k people active at a time and progress wouldn't vanish like a fart in a wind and now there's 120k people active a time 
the fundamentals work
i would've been less hesitant to join if it was only 3k people active at the time
it wouldnt surprise me if we have 20-40k actual players and rest are bots tbh
Nah it's time to change the formula once we avg 150k players 
Separate note I saw one of those classic Speedrun raids and it looked quite funny
Is it ppl facerolling the raid in newer expansion gear
so we have 170k bot accounts on discord is what ur saying that happened to join 
not everyone uses discord either
So true, there's actually 3754465783267546732 thousand bot discord accounts too
🤷♂️

classic is just tuned that badly
U mean ppl could've done the raid like that on release as well?
Or are there differences from og to now
its a big knowledge gap compared to 2005
its last-patch balancing so a bit different but pretty much the same
warriors just doing 5x as much damage as any other spec or whatever
And we’re better for it, fuck the mages
that's a first
mage classes have always dominated in the mmos that i played 
it's so frustrating that when you can barely get into attack range and they've already put you to sleep, frozen you, etc.
OSRS has a similar problem in PVM/PVP where melee is just brutalized 😭
i've never cried about ice barrage, but frost nova gave me palpable depression.
30s sleep is so fucking stupid
as long as you coordinate and don't instantly wake the sleeping target up by hitting them
they're out of the fight
poly is bullshit
I already cant reach you why I gotta ba sheep now

transmogs/silences/anti-spell are less annoying than AOE CC
in my opinion
infinitely less
but, nothing more infuriating then getting one-shot if you aren't building specifically against a specific build

it completely shifted the meta when that class was released...
everyone had to buy 70% light resist
@errant plover 
yes please

rancour +16
infernal +12
blood fury +6
They shoulda made contracts immune to mage

That woulda been spicy
possibly
From here on out all bosses cannot be healed
oh
Pogu
yeah that works lmao
Won't fix the old bosses tho tragedy
They can but won't xd
Ok we take inspiration from rs3 much lower stats on bf but it heals all styles
It gives negative offensives
just add projectiles to melee weapons until it's indistinguishable from magic or ranged (i hate when games do this so much)
It's ok we get rancor 2 in 2035
Me playing Terraria with the Terra Blade
My kids will see new melee amulet creep 🥹
Ye u and ur afk kind already loved that 
no, the new melee amulet will be +13 str (rancour is 12) and 20 more accuracy
to be fair after 1.4.4 the terra blade and it's crafting tree do feel much more like melee
they literally added +1 str for prims upgrade 
The crafting tree sure, with like True Excal especially
but before that it was literally a mage weapon that didn't use mana
Accuracy catchest how long till we have 100percent accuracy on 500def 300 def stat bosses
they need to fix influx waver though
any bingo cards on what breaks with varlamore pt 3 yet
a tbow spawns in my bank specifically
They haven't hit the oak trees in Varrock yet
what oak trees
The delve boss update will keep all defensive stats Perma reduced
All the defense bonuses will get scrambled up

And shadow becomes bis at like 90% of places it's not currently
drops are too common and dupe/bad luck protection
Make sure to take out ur monster examine after u spec with mage staff
they forget to add the pet and keep it locked behind something they forgot to add with delves

Honestly it will probably be Accessible like Yama so common or not more ppl doin will make it so cheap
Already having Yama bots running rampant now 😭
Good
WHAT
messed up
or it drains mage level instead of mage def and they never fix it
pride event today?
nope
Yeah they patched out all lifesteal so you wouldn't tick heal iirc
but forgot blood fury
Are you guys ready for another yama update today
contracts being made used on completion & awakened bosses free to farm, yes
also looking forward to this year's pride event
Do we know anything about the stats on the delves 1h magic wep?
The Eye of ayak is a powered staff requiring level 83 Magic to wield, dropped by Osto-Ayak.
It is the second strongest powered staff, between the Sanguinesti staff and Tumeken's shadow in power. It is intended to be useful even after obtaining a Tumeken's shadow, with the utility of its special attack and faster attack speed.
it drains magic defense
this is fiiiiinee
Even has +2 pray combined with that its one handed, this thing is cracked
Whats update?
should be bis at zulrah at least bc of her damage cap
probably pnm too bc of overkill
As always every update consists yama update. Once again drop rates changes due to people complaining on reddit. Every update is a yama update.
The content is already gone, every yama world is empty most of the times. Can truly say jagex ruined it by not getting a boss that is getting people to stay for long time - people green log it and leave.
Nex is out for years yet its full of people, yama out for a month and its empty lol
okey tnx
anyone else getting crazy amount of dead clicks on east coast servers
Did the game already update or not?
It’s not “early July” yet
Who's excited to see what breaks :3
Can’t wait to run to the GE and see every account be named zezima and some variation of a naughty body part
One of the all-time great “breaks” imo
Wait what
wasnt there meant to be an update timer by now?
Its at 5:45
Should be about 20mins til timer
Mine dont show up until 15 sometimes
ah, i forgot its utc
Yeah I forget what the actual change was meant to be that messing with caused it- but there was like half a day where anyone could just change to any username they wanted, taken or not- they ended up doing just a namechange rollback/revert (somehow) and gave all the silly folks back the bond they used to do it hahah
Oh my, I didn't even see:')
Past two days have been herblore only
I must've missed that, I always miss the funny stuff 🥲
It was a while back now- maybe like…. Sometime between January and March of 2024?
I see
One minute:D
No update today 
Oh we got robbed
are the people tired of yama updates happy with this 🤔
Quick, someone make a video explaining the update
skill guides fixed
^ take a screenshot of that and play that 1 frame for 2 seconds
Here's a full summary:
Well all see it 4 times today
The shameless merch plug goes hard when nothings changed
the real update is first summer sweep changes announced for next week
Bit early for that anyways
also hopefully they fix runelite projectile plugins this week
so are the summer sweep up changes all coming or only the combat part of it?
I just want quest helper for mobile, I mainly play pc but feel questing from bed would put me to sleep
just the first wave
i have no idea what that would contain
so toa changes and changing which eles some dragons are weak to?
I agree
and this
Proboly no Bryophyta changes
Or obor
I'll be amazed of they change any bosses next week
They'll release the growthling left click and duke left click
they were really subtle, i think this is "buy the rumor" enough to invest in dragon hunter wands for the buff next week
but... 15m for a 10% mage damage ancients wand? i guess itll probably go up since nightmare is like over 50m
Is my guess
its just that mage sucks 😛
and thralls good
problem is i dont have any gp to invest in dragon hunter wands so i wont
They'll let us barrage baby dragons:')
Is what they want you to believe
Ready to watch the price jump like 800k
@winter hearth could you specify what's included in next week's combat changes?
edit: nvm found mod rach's reply on reddit
nm changes are actually big i always hated the run back especially without the tablet
i wish they would remove the impregnation mechanic
7 days left to have fun at baba 
it makes me want to boycott gm and now theyre locking the zuk boost thing behind gm
FUCK

its babover
it's 6 0ver
babover
are they removing puzzle rooms
nvm i dont think theres any way to make toa fun for me


lets nerf the purple chance to make it an even worse raid, yes!
remove puzzle rooms and baba
l2 red x
well they are removing baba so
remove p2 wardens
and baba is free
unbuff monkey room
the world will never know of 5:1
worst room
monkeys may unironically be harder than baba now 
legit already no one knows what 5:1 is
5:1 is just red x but you 5t
all they had to do was put fang on shadow table and leave purple rates as is
and tank a hit when you go back in cycle
Yeah ngl the baba stuff is sad because theyre dying on the hill that its a boss without the chip damage and it just isn't regardless of how they feel
very crazy to make that change
blood fury afk sarco is IN
that is a good change
and 2.33t ig
zcb spec akkha is a good change i think
i doubt 2.33t is faster than just. changing phase though
TRUE
holy
didnt even realise 
i think stay vigilant change landed in a good spot
punished for mistakes rewarded for perfection
🔥
baba u are rewarded for praying melee ...
they have nerfed purple chance by half in 450-500 invos
hows that rewarded for perfection?
grow up
what an argument, damn, u rly got me there bro
toa purple chance is very crazy i think its fine theyre chopping it
just wish they wouldnt fk baba up
Yeah it should've never been what it was in the first place
Purple change hurts but is correct
no no, 1/6 purple chance is totally fine for solo wym /s/
1/5.5 
tob takes half the time 
ur getting punished for doing 500s
where as u can get 15-20 min tob runs with 1/9 purple chance
I mean don’t you get better chances of getting “better” purples?
Ie less lbs and fangs?
All they had to do was change fang drop rate and make it equal to shadow
you get punished doing nightamre, when you can go do barrows for way faster drops
Perhaps some of the updates like the update to soul wars could have been done today
Thats an L argument lol
equal to shadow 🤔 not even different weighting in the same pool?
as in on the same drop table
and fang and lightbearer the second rarest
fang never belonged in 1/3 or 1/5 drop rate w/e it is
uhh why cant i log in
its way 2 good for that
is the servers down?
ye try again in 13 mins
now we will run into the same problem with masori getting dropped more often and tanking in price
🙂
Does jagex not even know im in a bingo atm, now the other teams are gonna catch up
Except the rates are tanked, so less masori than before will be coming into the game anyways
Skill issue!
If ring and fang is less common in higher invos, how is masori also less common?
There will be more masori coming from higher invos now
Wait is this downtime for the toa update?
no
Today was fluff at best
there is basicly no update today, its just engine stuff
Ahh gotcha
Do they ever keep a consistent time for updates or is it just a free for all?
It’s every Wednesday morning brotha
usually its 0 minutes, but because they are slowly introducing engine stuff for sailing, its 15min
game online ?
no, 10 more min
Drop rates being cut in half will do that
It's not rocket science
Even if we don’t look at just raw purple chance I do hate the fact that they’re making masori and shadow 20% rarer in 500s and those are barely going to be any faster
they only gonna be cut in half for 450s-500s, not 350-400s
Like sure I’m all for the reduced fang and ring chances
Servers up
300s still got same purp chance as before
already in the bin lmao it's doomed
chaps like 30m no
ye
And yet I’m unable to get them and they’re making it harder :’(
what was that last update?
with bowfafly akkha & afk baba u can turn ur invo up surely
the only rate getting cut in half is invos from 450-500s. 300s will still have same purple chance as before so you are wrong. Masori will tank and already is 😄
I’m not turning it up higher from 500 in any reasonable way
alright my bad
Not 20% higher rates at least for sure
I’ve messed around with a 515-540 but it makes the raid like twice as hard or I have to do stuff like Zebak first which just slows down the raid
Call it a skill issue if you will
But in my current raids I don’t even use supplies before warden unless I make mistakes
masori is still overall rarer after the change right
Yes
same rarity in 300s & below
In a 500 it’s 20% rarer
yea thats what i thought very confused why we're talking about masori tanking
It’s not been consistent lately and more than just Wednesday mornings. Been randomly around 3am to 5am. Just wondering if it there was a set schedule or something else.
Looking at the context I think he was just talking about the inevitable truth of ToA prices
Based on raid completion count
no all purple rates are too high
not just fang
toa is a loot experiment to never be repeated
like basically every other loot system in the past 3 or 4 years
kinda crazy lol
its interesting too because they cast such a wide net with doing big changes and usually several of them that i think they found several small pieces of loot systems that are actually good
but they never put that together with something that works and is safe for them
So do we know what exactly is included in next week's combat changes?
i mean no
i think people are just assuming the stuff listed in the previous blog but
jagex will probably put up a revised list
It's all just speculation
praying baba change is not included & is cancelled 
im ngl
it wont be
they're making a change for a good reason with baba but they're not allowing themselves the time to make a good fix
and just being delusional about baba without chip damage
NEXT WEEK
at least publicly
im sure individuals that actually know how to do toa know very well that baba cant do anything if baba cant chip you
they should make it so bloat flies hit 0s when u pray range
that are working on this
it's veyr QoL
they just cant say that in public
suspension of disbelief only goes so far
i dont think the jmods are actually dumb
they just don't have the time to redesign the boss to address the debris that is baba's skill ceil
wasn't high to begin with but still
yeah im coping more than hoping
can hope theyll revisit baba again in the future but i fear
its just dogshit forever now
I do like the general reduction of herb drops across the board
Man they really be screwing with us in summer sweep up
economic changes im sure will be fine
love the phosani change
love the akkha change
im sure olm dragon huynter wand is nice for irons
but man baba change is horrific
i think their update to the akkha change was good
yea
it was pretty horrid before but
its very nice for pre shadow now
bowfafly wiull go hard
can actually push invo without getting brickwalled by akkha
They updated it?
now he will guaranteed switch if u got hit 1 time that phase
if u perfect bfly he will now never switch
yeah now its a positive change for everyone doing akkha
Hmm
Where the hell is summer sweep up 2 tho
im also pretty glad that they just told us why there aren't updates this week
instead of it just being a little mysterious they're just straight up telling people they're changing a bunch of stuff for sailing
FYI wearing oathplate with a cross bow for araxxor minions bugs out the max hit. Will miss frequently and hit non-max hits on mirrorback and rangers.
If using torva seems to work business as usual..
ToA droprate nerfs coming next week?
Kind of expected the clue stacks to come much quicker. Seemed like it basically was a turn on feature lol
All those combat changes coming next week, holy that seems so fast lol
honestly, can you ban bots that rag wildy course asap?
i coudlnt care less about non wildy bots, they dont really do much
but wildy bots just destroy the experince of everyone else in there
just way to many bots
everywhere
what are they even doing?
Its because of your attack bonuses. Check how max work for the minions
Not a bug
some bots just goes into wildy agility and punch people, millions of bots scouting everywhere, bots scouting players in wildycctw, spindel is way to booted, millions of green dragons like bro, rogues c hest bots,
Im in max gear, just swapped oathplate chest and legs. Is that how it worked previously? Genuinely haven't used oathplate there before
Yeah max hit in minions has something to do with your highest attack bonus, which stays slash if you only bring two way switch for range. Bring erd switch and should be fine
Something like that, wiki has better info on it
Gotcha, I see the stat diff now just didnt realize oathplate would bump slash high enough to put range lower. TY
yerp!
can we get that purple formula if the toa change is already next week
the baba change at tob:
before someone says it, the blog is not a formula that is a chart with from what I can analyze, human input rough numbers and not following any formula, but its possible im bad at math
They should also make you max hit on the nylo's when hit with their weakness.
tass in game updates:
What it was a reply to your request for toa changes but at TOB 🙂
I think the baba changes are good. it doesnt impact solo that much, but i dunno if you ever got into a 8 man with people who cant red-x lmao.
Baba becomes an absolute nightmare

it makes solo pray melee & facetank the boss instead of 5:1
Left orbs nw, right orbs se. Prioritize north or south first and gg
in a ffa pug or whatever you want to call raids without your friends it is a kind of big deal.
Folks far can zcb and or shadow
not everyone is gonna join the party plugin hub an respond to pings
Yeah ffa folks aren’t human so they’re garbage raids by default
they better add mage/range attacks
to offset it
Wouldn’t use that metric for anything really
legit add anything

it sucks if 5:1 isnt relevant any more its a cool method but if theyre gonna delete it at least give something to make the boss interesting
yeah
maybe 5:1 the first 3 fastshadows or something to line up the monkey spawn
and then afk
Yeah
1t flick the whole fight nice man
Good fk waves
people mad over baba no longer smacking you in the face unless you bug abuse is kinda werid
Well Baba didn’t do much dmg post change
So you didn’t need to red x to bypass the room
It was cope
what if i just tickwalk under baba instead of redx is it still bug abuse 
5:1 was the method that provided no tickloss, and was a skill expression over the regular 6t red x
even pre-nerf didn't do that much
just keris
people be greeding for dps specs and refusing to use yellow 
Yeah idt you even know what 5:1 is Tass
5:1 is basically step under at right tick lmao
think he knows about yama judge step under for damage?
or is that bug abuse too

Please use brain before replying Tass I do beg
5:1 isn’t the normal 6t red X where you do “bug abuse”
Probably not
if the lack of difficulty at baba bothers you and you're seeking something stimulating then worry not, you can solo theatre of blood for stimulating content, or solo cm speedruns.
if you want to make toa stimulating run 495-500 rl pathless quiet prayer raid and there you go
He mages
Correct you didnt need to red-x the only benefit was if you got to the room with 0 supplies, because you know everyone likes to show up with an inventory like this.
i run 545s

They usually shitpost
Nice to see a dumber point

No one is bringing that
And people can 6t to pray flick
Or just 5:1 which is a skillful method
Actually made baba engaging
Which wont be changing, so why you care.
I saw some streamer get a shadow and use that clip time to blame teams for purples despite the blog literally saying teams are not the issue 
they are changing what are u talking about
so many dumb fucks
drop rate reduction and thats really it
I mean she already was
Wait a minute
post ur 545 baba pb
but that doesn't allow you to swarm 2nd down at kephri, you're making it longer for purple chance and making it less fun, unless slow rooms is your thing.
you also don't get to use zcb/vw strategically because you have invos like od and ovls on for better purple chance but it makes the overall experience worse
if she no longer hits you though prayer, you can still do whatever you was doing before. so why do you care??
From this
To this
she wasnt ever hitting you in the first place
You actually can’t make this up
5:1 she hits u
so you were bullshitting 
thats the 1 part
He changes stances to fit his argument and he’s generally wrong
But welcome to game updates I guess
5t olm melee hand is more engaging and fun thans 5:1 baba, being sad about it becoming useless is insane 
it would be more engaging to react to his autos and not take a random 45 because hey fuck you
sure
Right but that’s olm
olm is more involved than baba
Irrelevant to toa
saying its insane to be sad that a method is going away
becasue there is another more complicated method on another boss
abit ???
If they nerfed 5t at olm, would you not be upset?
but its not....
But it is
I'd argue 5t olm is most similar to 5:1 baba and a reason to keep 5:1 baba
you can still 5-1, you just wont get hit
if u keep 5t olm alive
Because there’s no point in doing it
why would u
very optimized akkha is cool but baba is a sleeper room, every raid has boring rooms its not that surprising
because you seem to like it?
pot some 5:1 giant mole could be good
No one is going to 5:1 when the whole point was to not get hit and 5t
Now you can 5t and not get hit for less work
if you want to 5-1 then cont to do it. doesnt matter if it matters or not.
What aren’t you comprehending
No one is going to put effort in when there’s no reward
Unless extremely bored
only defense i seen vs the baba changes is my "perceived method of dealing with the boss that i think is very skillful and only i can do it an the elite few who have mastered this, so therefore its superior and i should remain being the select few who can do this boss that way"
its not that hard bro
Its not
That’s called raising the skill ceiling you nut
So why are you so upset, you can keep doing 5-1 you just wont get hit on the 1.
since you enjoy the cycle so much
In the end, you want shit as easy as possible. This has always been the case.
We know this.
Yeah because he’s a mid tier pvmer (that’s ok)
No chip damage this, no cycle that.
So it’s not surprising
@true talon Did you look at the BEEEG skip at Yama yet or no 
who would win
or 
mole probably
I dont want anything easy, but i also dont want it to be tedious, im doing a boss 1000's of times. i want it to be fun and force engagement to allow me to cont the grind.
if youre talking about melee hand solo then no, 5 different cycles = \ = fixing baba 5t cycle on last fang hit of the cycle
5:1 forced engagement
Can you read and comprehend at the same time or no?
if we just want to say numbers theres 4 diff cycles in p1/2 baba and it changes in p3
Good boss is like whisperer or sol. if i execute the fight correctly then i wont be punished and if i dont then im heavily punished. bad fight is like vard were even if i dodge every axe, get every pray correctly, he sits there smacking me 10s constantly or zuk were 1 mistake an there goes 1 hour 20 minutes of my time. i like olm special skip cycle and mechanics, i dont like the boss being like oh yea your praying range? well heres a 45 mage attack you can do nothing about lol.

Can we please drop off Tass at a daycare
whatever anyone who wants to be punished while playing correctly is just a masochist
You don't want chip damage
but you also don't want to get punished too heavily when you fuck up

Hmmmmmm
I’m going to say no!
oh its mage
prayfrombillybob
he can splash!
Ongt
there is punish and then there is extreme. phosani is a good boss while normal nightmare is not.
yes but its not a 1 shot
mess up, eat a 70
🤣🤣🤣
na phosani owns
its recoverable
goated boss the -1 phase change is huge
so dumb
zuk max hit depends on gear you're wearing, the more budget the less dmg you take, i took a hit on budget 1st clear and didn't die

your missing the point, if i mess up at phosani an eat a 70 then ok, but olm is hitting me a 45 without me doing anything wrong.
tell me
zuk max hit depends on brain cells you have. the less brain cells the less damage you take, i took a hit on 1st clear and didn't die
If you get hit a 45 that means you did something wrong

As in messing up the cycle
i fucking swear modern content has damage clamped to the higher ranges
u tank hits as part of the melee cycle & shadow bad side
45s are a ~2% chance if they pass accuracy check too 
man's acting like they're super common
You can armor flick to reduce dmg
50/50 either he maxes u or he doesnt
what about solo jad, watching my friend do inferno yesterday and miss a pray on solo jad at zuk and being hit a 101 was classic.
if you blowpipe spec zuk a tick after damage gets calculated on you, you cheat death and survive
ur friend is the type to die to solo jad after killing 2/3 on triple wave

it was the zuk jad, he tried to mage them before jad attacked XD
mage the healers

i think i died to my first inferno yad
ye gf buddy jad did better
the healers messed me up
so many of them
there are too many of them what are we going to do
ive never died to triples i think 
he mustve not seen the video where jaguar snatches a capybara
thats him if he doesnt tell you
jaguar snatches a capybara
Where’s the capybara pet
delve boss in 1 month, gonna be fire.
summer sweep up before the delve boss was not expected tbh
After the yama release I doubt it
are you baiting lmao

Brain isn’t working per usual
But that’s avg
Doesn’t know why folks did 5:1, can’t do the 5:1 themselves, doesn’t know the difference between red x (6t) and 5:1, is confused why folks won’t do 5:1 post changes and yet argues like they have any actual value in the discussion 
Add zammy to osrs it's time
im gonna unbound your yama 
soon as he can learn to phase properly
real
i would have to get 7.5k more aether runes
and that would suck
Benefits of going very dry...
honestly, I think sote's instant phasing is probably the best design possible 
no idea, why they did not use this same mechanic
i would like if yama didnt stall you
no no, it could be improved more too
or if you could at least queue up actions during it
like letting you switch during animation
ye
Yea goblin said it was safety percautions or something that your not allowed to change gear during teleport
the judge sort of confuses me
why is it solo
like i cannot for the life of me tell why you fight it solo 
'oh fuck! you'd have to position relative to your partner to not take damage!'
Its very sad yama wasnt a mage boss, mainly because shadow was finally gonna have a piece of content its good at which historically have skyrocketed mega rares prices.
duo boss
We havnt had a mage boss since whisperer
awakened yama be like
eel
like the judges even share hp
you and your teammate phase it at the same time
like? huh?
if its an issue of ragging tiles even you already have schizophrenia projectiles working with p3 bombs
its just like. overengineered
that part seems fine to me
do boss together, little diversion where you fight a seperate but linked fight, back together for boss
there is zero reason to have it separate that is my point 

Poor shadow, apparently has no content where it's good
tbh
🤣🤣
like raids sure but otherwise idk kinda boring content 
Wants another mage boss when tbow has been in the bin
Make it make sense
Oh wait
tbow got araxxor and colosseum!!1
Wow!
Iron wanting more mage bosses to boost Shadow prices when Shadow is bis at more places than either other megarare 
Yama also got shadow if you don’t want use purging 😬
Logic is not the strong suit dw
But one day they might realize
(Probably not but can cope)
AND leviathan!!1
probably a prefire at huey too idfk scraping the barrel
I see streamers use the shadow though at Colo?!
ue
no you prefire with zcb for the potential
just shoot rubies from tbow?
yeah
t1 bronze crossbow can shoot bolt surely t85 twisted bow can
also wear void range cause it hits bigger potentailly
hi goblin, any follow up on this? i wouldn't mind say a slightly higher hp pool if it meant lower (m)def and more consistent hits to keep the general raid time similar. noodling feels horrible, and same for unavoidable healing in lv0/1/4+ that feels unnecessarily punishing especially since it's completely rng.

The unavoidable healing also happens at 0/1 right
yeah i'll edit
Good thing you never pray range in reg cox anymore 🤣
Well maybe you do with oath. But you don’t in Torva
when is the clue update?
is it the update that lets you keep 3 elites in bank?
It's the clue boxes update
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Poll_84:_Stackable_Clues
TL;DR up to 5 of each tier of clue can be stacked as clue boxes + one active clue
Update 02/05: Following your feedback, and to keep things true to how Old School works, we’ve also decided to poll whether to revert the 1-hour Clue Scroll despawn timer alongside the introduction of Scroll Boxes. We originally said this timer would stay, but it was never polled - and that didn’t sit quite right with many of you. We’re hap...
i see, thanks
@carmine ferry my ping is fixed o7

we let them cook

nightmare
Sailing not pulling away from development
sailing also

is it just me or is the game waaay smoother and less laggy after today's update
It’s maddening
Wat
you heard me.
yama was like the second actual update we got
Jagex employees have to see therapists multiple times a week because of yall
what 
real
like literally the only stuff of substance we have got was
royal titans
and Yama - and even this was delivered in a miserable state
the other shit is just 
Mana stop being a dumbass 
You can't even fucking stick to runecrafting you don't get to complain
holy you're right Castle wars loot crate
much pog, much quality
how did I forget
You don't need more content mana, you've interacted with about 15% of it
leave the complaining to people who actually play the game
I play if I am not drowning in work and ADHD in skilling
Suuuuuure buddy
never

noob
im just saying
defensive casting aint as juicer as it could be
thats an old screenshot
Holy shit this is incredible

I need to log in to check your name now
What a cooking
pot sensory clouding
you can literally afk for 20 minutes at a crab
but just saying, you literally have not interacted with the game in any meaningful capacity, it's always funny seeing you complain about no new content etc when you don't play the thousand and thousands of hours of content already in the game
you're like a kid who needs a shiny new toy to be distracted when there's plenty of perfectly great toys laying around waiting for you, and you get upset when daddy doesn't bring one home for you every week
You almost got knocked the fuck out by having to do 50 sires for your fucking CA
wtf l00l
need to banish mana to the red prison so he gets some of the Iron lifestyle under his skin
see how he likes it
But I’m an iron so I actually play the game
Frankly every time something big new and exciting is released I feel a little bad for anyone trying to catch up (which tbf, includes myself)
unless it lets you actually skip over something else
Like some poor SoB making their first account now setting their goal as a quest cape is NOT having the same experience I did going for a quest cape in 2018 
Fletching guild update on 23rd next month, you can do that on release hopefully
I am very confused
what part of my comment are you answering and what do you mean

oh you mean as in, it has no hard requirements to just get started?
It's a bit content update you don't have to skip over and can do
i dunno, if you're just starting out, that just means you have more content to do, and that's good
it's like the difference between starting a series that has 4 season and one that has 7 seasons
if it's a good show, 7 seasons means you have a lot more to look forward to
assuming you enjoy the show
if you don't enjoy the show and it feels like a slog instead, well, that's more a personal problem i'd say
Okok gotcha, no I more ment like - if I wanted to get my best str ring back in the old times, I went and killed rex. Now I kill rex, I afk nmz or arena to imbue it, I go kill vardorvis to get a vestige, I break it down to upgrade it
I'm certainly not saying I don't like it
but I do think when viewed objectively, it can look very underwhelming for a newcomer
sorry
overwhelming

like how many "to do X first I gotta do Y and Z" trees we have these days
well, ironman mode is inherently more complicated, and i wouldn't recommend it for a newcomer because you need a lot of game knowledge to do it
Maybe because I'm not new but I don't think it's that overwhelming, since you're not telling people to go to vard right after their b ring
Hard disagree
sure but not just iron, as said earlier, an example like quest cape
rather like how if someone wants a bed, i would tell him to buy one at ikea, i wouldn't try to show him how to build one out of wood and nails and feathers
he can do that later if he wants
I hadn’t played since 2006 and did an iron (group but I’ve always been ahead of everyone) and it’s been magical.
Tell him to sleep on the floor so he can wake up ready to grind
But the feeling of building that bed and it lasting forever is worth skipping just buying one if you have the time
The accomplishment is 🤌
perhaps, but i also would consider that far more complicated, and that's a complexity that person chooses, so i wouldn't consider that a problem
the game isn't more complex in the ways that were just described for mains: if you want bis ring, the procedure is same as it's always been: go to ge and buy it
for iron, though, definitely a lot more complexity
Building a bed really isn’t that complicated
Except maybe that a 2x4 and 2x10 are really 1.5x3.5 and 1.5x9.5 lol
Measure once cut twice or something like that
people have a hard time reading, and u wanna bump that up to building an actual thing...
In fairness, and with no offense intended, I don't think the main gameplay loop of "get golds buy item" is a good one to introduce people to either as well 
I think that's fine
There's more to the game than just buying stuff, and there's plenty of stuff that can't be bought
Yeah coddling is an issue for sure
tell this to all the fuckers living off of a madrass in the corner of their room
We all have iPad microwave brains because we’ve never had to build a bed lol
gp gives flexibility and is net positive to me: it means i choose what i do, for the most part, and don't have it dictated to me
i like mains
but lots of people like irons!
i'm only talking about complexity, i'm not prepared to tell anyone what game mode he should or shouldn't choose because that's up to that person
unless he chooses uim
that's definitely wrong
Anyone who says this means they have never played iron or experienced the game from an ironman perspective. i have a drastic ammount of normie friends who had maxed mains with all bis gear and they rolled to iron and absolutely loved every single minute, they went from never playing or rarely logging in to being on 16+ hours and loving it. even when they had to kill 3160 zulrah for a blowpipe, they loved it. the game is a completely different beast when you play iron, only once you get to absolute giga max does it become a drag an your better off being a normie if your persueing other goals like world record times or pking.
Depending on when you played it, id say it has changed drastically. ive been so moved by all the mid an early game stuff they done that id want to start a new iron or even a hcim. unforunately i dont got that kind of time anymore.
I have a maxed main with max gear
I had an iron. Didn't like it
I made a GIM with friends, loving every second of it
everyone's different
there are so many items that are infinitely more accessible and slightly worse than bis u cannot make this argument anymore
this isn't cox release

maybe
