What is this about? They cant all use it in the 1v1's
i'd be grateful they're even trying
You're arguing clan man mode when thats not the point of this discussion
I dont know why you're shifting goalposts
im bringing it up as a potential reason as to why they're trying no bank keys this time
and ur ignoring it like a dumbass
ur planting down fences and saying "nah nothing u say matters"
My argument is: Removing the bank key is an option I accept because most of the time it has some value and most of the times it doesnt, you never know, but if that will push most people to get out of the GE and safe areas to get points it means I have more action than the avg dmm fights where people are in my lvl or some above my level so I have to scape and not just fighting the fed streamers in max or clans.
at least this is interesting to watch while i want to die prepping forestry rewards for sailing
worst content ever made btw
So state your argument, its simply firing random shots hoping one hits somehow
To help you out, try copy and paste this and fill the blank. "I think xx because xxx. "
This man is helpless
there is a poll
go vote no on iut
it
is not set on stone
Suggestion box
ngl
Cool, i also am spreading awareness about how stupid the proposed change is
i bet this whole league i mean dmm
Which will help influence the poll
is just leagues in monk robes because you occasionally get pked
ragmanmode yeah
Exactly, but you support it
I mean it was ragmanmode and clanmanmode
I was gonna skip
The only reason im doing it is due to the stupid kit
for bowfa
Oh and most of these deaths would occur early on in DMM where there was little progress being risked. You fuck up once you learn from it and it didnt happen again
Are those tradable on the g.e on 07 like the other cosmetics last time?
Bet they are but I am doing it only on my iron
I enjoyed watching the choke points being held down by clans because it was strategic, but this time, they're being cowards and autocompleting quests 
To be honest I wouldnt mind if they remove some of your cb xp if you die to mitigate the key factor.
Werent you complaining about clans 2.5 mins ago?
i still want them to do like a big clan v clan event like this where you just get sorted into 4 groups
If your density was any denser, we'd be sucked into a black hole.
Saying statements like that without proper dialogue are just that, statements
giving all of the noobs like hundreds of teammates would be the best way to get everyone in there
just trying it
I mean by day 4-5 I was already getting ragged by Ditter in VLS 🙁
Had to stay one bracket down for the first week
cuz everyone in max cb was already in amazing gear and there i was
That would be cool tbh. Someone had an idea like thishttps://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1379615416779018351
just make it have like zone control or something so you can see on the map which team holds which zones
just use the league areas or whatever
it would spawn a bunch of stupid reddit grove street memes etc
idk what jagex is doing
its easy
For better or worse, muling is effectively dead with this no bank key change and all clans have in advantage is numbers to flood the map, which is plenty of an advantage to exist.
If you have max, you don't have to have 2+ accounts to trade you all max gear before finals 
Rather than relying on Jagex moderating this shit every DMM, which they do very poorly and fairly, just nuke the issue and see if it works in one DMM.
If it doesn't work, great, we roll it back next DMM
Oh yeah, wait 16 months for the next dmm, If it was every few months it wouldnt be such a big issues but look at the time between each one. Silly take
You're essentialy saying DMM/Leagues shouldn't ever change because they're so spaced out they should always be Twisted Leagues 1-5 and DMM1-35.
If you actually thought muling is bad, you wouldnt be advocating for everyone to forecefully mule, unless you didnt think it was wrong to begin with
When did i say they shouldnt ever change?
I think the muling and swapping (even though I swap my way out since I dont play finals)
is a problem
They can easily create strong incentives to risk more with drop rate changes, damage etc so people will literally fill their account with risk to stay competetive
Get this into your head - It gets more fair if everyone can save their finals gear without relying on alts.
Clans disproportionately abuse this otherwise and already have a massive advantage in numbers when it comes to gathering gear for finals.
muling would be the disadvantage
You still have deposit box slots, and we havent 1v1's in so many dmms. Also consider my alternative
You literally complained about the fact that they're testing it for ONE DMM and responded with "it takes 16 months each DMM".
Basically they can't change too much or Mr. xJetPilot will complain that they changed too much 
Yes exactly, my change is way less damaging to dmm than removing the iconic bank key
disingenuous as fuck
Just as well you're not a dev
thank fuck
Also you literally misunderstood my point
That comment was about if a shitty change were to be made, you'd have to wait 16 months for a non shitty dmm
i thought that was clear already
It means the stakes for getting it right are high
Last dmm had bank keys and it worked well so atleast we have a ball park for knowing what works
I see why you called yourself a rat, afterall you know yourself better than anyone else 🤷♂️
Anyway im out, have fun typing to yourself normie
Good, leave after being a dense nut that ignores history. The whole "risk more, reward more" barely works and is often bullshit. Not only will people find ways to gimmick thresholds with items that aren't worth it, but they also disproportionately benefit clans because 50m loot on a solo player is a lot riskier versus 50m in a clan protecting you.
We've seen this shit 50x in the main game and DMM just exacerbates that issue because "more risk" gets offset tremendously if you're in a clan and you're holding down a location or a choke point that people can farm at higher efficiency and be protected by their clannies 
I'm okay with some benefits, but making it like 5x rewards or anything along those lines if you risk 100m or whatever threshold only benefits clans.
i am still strugglign to cope with no sigils on drop table someone help me plz
what do you have to play for if u dont swap, as a soloplayer?
no 1v1s to make itemskeep value to the very end, the final is horrible as a solo player
no w45 trasnfer besides account stats
i think deposit box should transfer over to w45, like intended last dmm(as opposed to every item)
I played for the rewards and I'll play it again for the rewards.
I know there was that long ass talk back earlier about rewards and how some people use it for money or others don't think the rewards are that nice but I enjoyed earning the cosmetics myself.
I grabbed enough points for the cape orn last DMM and I'll probably grab enough for the bowfa and crystal armor orns this time.
at the time, last dmm no1 knew what the prices of rewards were going to be, most people shrugged it off as probably a few mil or whatever.
Yeah I didnt think about reward to money prices either
I just thought the cape looked neat 
And also as an opportunity to try DMM and get some practice in PVP
Yup, i reckon there will be a lot more people playing and making alt accounts throughout entire event for the rewards alone
this dmm will be awful for swapping
last dmm was insane if u did wildy slay
i was barraging abby demons making 300m 07/h
from sigils yh?
im ngl i seen firsthand how botted the last dmm was for simple spots like barraging for sigils
for the games "integrity" skull point stuff is a good change
t5 emblems were like 1/20 from 100+ mobs if you did wildy slay as well
but will fuck over some people who wanted to make money
maybe the new dmm chest or w.e will be decent money early
Likely, people do love profit as others have made it clear haha
yh, atleast that should make for a pretty active dmm instead of previosu ones that start to fade out after 4-5 days
I think they might need to restructure how DMM works as a whole for that one.
If the main reason people play is for dodgy trust trades to make tonnes of GP I'd say that's an issue with the gamemode.
aslong as theres people playing, grinding for points etc there will be a intact foodchain for pkers hunting pkers hunting pvmers
agree
it has lost its competitive format with removal of 1v1s imo so making gp is the main appeal now
I feel confident they are and want to bring 1v1s back, but in some altered shape which is protected from ddos somehow. I have a feeling they've cooked something up (based on what they've written about it previously and in this blog post)
can only hope
do we know if the new seeds are going to be in seed packs from farming contracts?
We don’t know
Tbh I think probably no less than 60% of players play it to swap gp. Nothing in the main game comes remotely close to the gp/h plus it’s usually done via interesting methods. IMO should be something jagex is embracing rather than restructuring, even though idk how feasible it’d actually be to put some sort of real swap mechanic in there. Probably impossible with current tech
The best they could do is set up an official trading booth or something, but idk if it’s even feasible considering how much the rates change dynamically
yeah agreed itd be so rough, in an ideal world though would be awesome
prob would actually be the biggest thing they could do to increase activity lol
If Jagex doesn't https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1345460064470831216 before Deadman starts, could we maybe get a Corrupted Noxious Halberd requiring 60-70 attk to add a bit more variety of weapons?
Current weapon options are a bit slim with only Dogsword at 75attk and Thunder Khopesh at 60attk. I feel like these two will be crazy expensive because they are the only 2 best options for spec weps (aside from regular Voidwaker, Claws etc. which is definitely gonna be very expensive)..
I loved in previous DMMs how corrupted weaponry were giving average players a chance to enjoy decently strong weps, so if the corrupted ones could sit around 1m-3m or something, that seems like it could be quite balanced? It was great fun to see more variety of spec weps.
@winter hearth another feedback/suggestion for ya here, forgot to add this to the in-game suggestion as I just realized today thinking/plotting about the upcoming DMM... 😄
+1 to increase attack speed of hally's so they arent the most useless weapon in game
It’s mentioned in the post as well but I would retain the special attack on dhally/chally as 7t
Wait, will the grid master store always be there?
yes
OK, cool thanks
Lol I just found the sailing cape perks in my max cape
Unforch they are locked behind 99 sailing still
Looks like unlimited teleports to boat and teleports to Pandemonium
I extremely expected boat tele, I guess pandemonium shouldn’t surprise me either
I saw those the other day too
so extremely weird to do that though, prob just would want to keep it consistent
A 5t halberd spec would immediately just become the highest dps spec in all pvm weak to slash lmao
andddddd...?
For a weapon that costs less than 500k you think that’s a good and reasonable thing?
its also locked behind a diary and many quests
Already super easy to obtain relative to its power?
as opposed to what claws? that you just buy
Pandemonium is where your starter boat is
that you just buy off the GE and have 60 atk for
It's very likely just a tele to boat and tele boat to you
Pandemonium tele is under "skilling areas" though
So I think it's just the island itself
Or if you have 5 boats, the cape "tele to boat" will open all the options to tele to
Nah because on the boat tele it specifies in the () the location of your boat
I would expect it to say something more clarifying boat to you (location)
If that were the case
But you could be right
If you’re trying to argue that dragon claws are more accessible than a crystal halberd then you’re so extremely far removed from actually engaging with this game that I don’t think anyone can help you with that. Are you allergic to quests and have infinite money?
what are you talkin ab man claws are like 40m lol
maybe in the old days when they were like 90-100 you MAY have a point
Yeah and chally is like 500k
Not in any meaningful way
???
Brother a hard diary is not difficult to do
60 atk, versus like 5 quests, a diary, higher atk lvls
There are far more people in this game with crystal halberds than dragon claws and that should be all that really needs to be said
more people also have purging staves than 3a wands, so should we nerf purging staves?
Killing those chompies is just backbreaking hard work, almost impossible for the average player
and 3a wands should become bis lol
If you are only looking at PvP then sure if you never touch a single quest ever then yeah the requirement for a chally might be nontrivial
ngl that one was rough for me
so is getting 40m lol
But if you’re already doing the quests and diaries and engaging with the game and PvM
Then you literally get the diary done accidentally aside from the compies
The relatively minor requirements for either weapon are inconsequential when you’re talking about making a 500k item that is already best in slot for lasthitting into just the best mainhand dps spec in the game
Hitting up to 130+ every 5t is not remotely inconsequential of a change, not to mention the spec being cheaper than the claws
crystal would still bbe worse than nox outside of spec what are ya talking about lol
Can get 4 specs off with a surge potion
and also how is that even a problem
The literal only thing I’ve been discussing is the spec lmao
we already do unreal damage in the game lol
in that case up the spec % to 50 to match claws
ez win and theres no weird extra long delay after speccing
Powercreep should only come from logical places with appropriate difficulties, not from absurdly buffing a spec that already has very very powerful uses in the game from a very cheap weapon for no reason
We already have specs that delay your attacks longer
we probably shouldnt
cuz it feels weird
but my bad man i didnt realize i was messing with the dragon claw mafia here
The pvm meta would be greatly affected
oh no!
not the pvm meta that changes every update anyway
Like we know you're pvp focused but what you proposed is like crazy
Chally is very strong as a spec already
It's bis spec in places
Randomly buffing it would be weird
i didnt hear anyone whining that it was gonna change the pvm meta when it was introduced
Make nox hally 7t
now all the zulrah bots are meleeing lol
Nox was released before zulrah was vulnerable to halberds
And part of why it's good there is cuz hally spec
A lot of people did actually voice concerns about it idk what you’re talking about lmao
And it did exactly what people were concerned about
Now Blade is even moreso dead content
Yeah and most people would say that’s a problem, because they chose to make rapier dead content by ignoring it and introducing the fang instead
A stronger weapon from an easier source
Which is also what nox is
well yeah you dont actually expect ironmen to raid right? TOB way too hard for them to do to get a good wep
so it kinda has to suck
?
I expect more ironmen to raid than pvpers to interact with literally any other aspect of the game
like maybe 1% max of ironmen are going anywhere near TOB
so they gotta have better weapon options outside of it
otherwise they gonna whine
1% max of the entire player base ever gets anywhere near any raid lmao
yeah exactly
but mains can just buy the item
so it doesnt matter
so we have to cater to the lowest common denominator
Even on mains the fang didn’t make sense to just kill off the rapier, that doesn’t really make sense
look man im just glad fangs here so that the rev cave pvmers arent invincible by praying mage and clicking yellow
Even if you can buy stuff on the ge the source and power levels of things still matter immensely
with their 800k risk and 450 range def
And directly influence the ge value
This could be a more intuitive solution tbh @chrome lantern , I think it's a good option for balancing. If too strong at 50%, it could go to 55% or 60% even, to make up for it's new strength as a main hand wep instead of spec-only
Or we just keep the actually balanced existing spec where it is
🆗
Lasthitting is extremely useful a lot of places
You’re basically just saying to remove that without any other alternative
It’s very good for ToB, GGs, Zulrah, Titans, pretty much anything that phases. It’s also very good while barraging to get melee xp on your stack. It has a lot of uses all over the place.
honestly the # of people in the game that care at all about last hitting things is probably less than the # that care about PVP which is wild lol
.000001% is an arbitrary number you came up with and is not founded in anything whatsoever nor accurate lmao
just remove pvp from the game, literally noone cares about it
Changing an item designed and intended at places for efficiency just because isn't a good change
I think you have a bit of a skewed sense of the OSRS playerbase 😅😆
this is basically what im sayin w/ chally spec
y'all exist
Ye this is counterargument to changing spec percentage tho, it loses that nice niche.. maybe keeping spec at 7t is the best way after all 🙂
Serious pvmers use the chally spec on a daily basis it’s not trivial lmao
Oh also for doom punish
Also can u guys stop arguing and being emotional please ur spamming so much😅
[[Soup]]
Wiki links found:
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Soup
Omg the name is fucking Soup? I love it!
i don't even know what y'all yapping about me its clearly not going anywhere
This is completely nonsensical troll suggestion. PvP has like some of the highest views on vids on youtube etc.. And many people definitely care about PvP, me included.
I literally supported making halberds 5t, just having the spec at 7t, I swear you’re being intentionally dense here
we have a maxed ironman on tylenol vs some guy skull tricking guys at rev
Was my entering argument
hey man im on the ferox bridge rn, i do different content
im also maxing my main rn, and my pures already maxed 🫡
No he just meant the spec to remain 7t which is completely fair and a good suggestion
the c hally is a great weapon
dont think ive ever owned one tbh
cause why should you
Also literally Jagex themselves tried to do this with the Wrathmaw AGS, it’s not like it’s an original concept or even something Jagex is opposed to, changing attack speed on specs. We already have a good handful of weapons that have different speeds on specs
exactly i never needed it for any content, inferno has no use for a hally
it is second BiS spec at alot of pvm content and easy to get
pretty much the only pvm ive ever done lol
mostly used by ironman i'd assume
^
i use it at zulrah, hespori, titans, ggs etc
Hespori a good example too yeah
doom
yeah idk what they were thinking with wrathmaw lol, im a little disappointed that that was such a bad idea they just said no more wildy content updates ever after it failed tho
its actually pretty huge at doom
crystal halberd is indeed a very good spec weapon for pvm
Ye I mentioned doom a bit earlier
but that also sounds like a horrible idea for a weapon
its a good wep until u spec 0's
so why did we want it to be 5t
i aint gonna scroll up all the way
cuz hallys (outside of nox) are just awful
in pvp?
well sure, nox hally and c hally are very commonly used weps
d long is def off meta, but the d hally is SO FAR off meta that why would anyone ever use it lol
sure noone uses d hally and below
dhally requires regicide which is gonna filter a bunch of noobs from using it
D hally is useful when you don't have chally
altho i've seen people use d hally at moons
in my defense i refuse to go near moons after having done the quest
that place sucks so bad
Like just accept you weren't familiar with it being a good weapon squints
It's weird to double down on buffing something that is genuinely good already
it isnt a good wep its a spec weapon with like 1 niche
that pretty much nobody cares about
A spec with a niche is like the entire design ethos
Of osrs
That's horizontal progression, small niches
bgs and dwarhammer also niche
You don't randomly buff things that are already good
c hally spec uses
Like you could leave the spec at 7 tick and make the attack 5 if you really wanted to but
Why
why not 🤷♂️
Making changes just to make changes is not a good policy
not like it will ever happen anyways
thats fair, that was my take on sailing tbf
but ig we're stuck with that at this point
i mean we can complain all we want, the mass majority of the playerbase voted in favor for sailing, it is what it is
5t c hally would never pass a vote
yea just a bummer it was so poorly developed w/ the movement style and stuff
and idk i think it would def pass a vote
I think they're doing a good job considering the mandate of creating a new skill
who would be preventing it? like .0001% of pvmers? lol
I don't think there was a need for a new skill
ur judging a skill for being poorly development before its been released
But the direction they went seems solid
Squintzz you have no idea the numbers you're randomly spewing lmao
off the alpha/beta yeah
it was brutal
u seem to have very little appreciation for developers and have a very negative attitude
well thank god it was an alpha
A lot of people don't want massive buffs for gear that's in a healthy place
This number is so off lol
Lower than the number of gms
Saying .0001% of people care is wild
99% of percentages are made up
i mean they said there were no changes to the movement from either so idk what you mean about it just being an alpha lol
Chally is used frequently
It's not super obscure
And you thinking it is kinda exposes that you're not really well versed in pvm at all
Guy who admits he doesn't pvm "Where do you even use it lol so niche"
i think we can all agree, that we just gotta make the nox hally 7t then
thats a troll take
The truth comes out, this is pvper complaining about nhally in disguise!
Does the nox hally have an extremely useful well established spec niche?
No?
Oh so entirely different scenario
tentacle whip is like same dps as nox hally 
naw, just a poor understand on how to drive
tbf i dont really care much either way, i dont think id ever use any of them
but its always a good time to rustle a few jimmies
Nhally is nuts in pvp I thought
slow day on the bridge
People complain about it all the time
it is nuts in pvp
i dont rly use it cuz i use fang for what i do
hally never gonna hit the giga tanks
Be the 800m risker with oath
i risk 600 when im out there
have to in order to kill the pvmers risking more than 1m
sounds like dino food
good thing he cant get on me with how i do it 
for some reason i feel like you are a very mediocore pvper
i am
why else would i be skull tricking lol
i also dont want to get arthritis in my early 30s
bonds aint cheap nowadays either so gotta make some gp
cleaves on dihns users
found it to be very mid w/ 82 attack
maybe ill try on main again once thats maxed
my current focus account doesnt have infernal/dt2 rings either sadly
I'm maxed so ye diff for me
did we get confirmation if sigils are only available in skull store?
With the Jagex Launcher update that brought back the animated header image, does anyone else see constant GPU usage (0.8% in my case) even when the launcher is in the tray?
They had reverted it for a bit so I assumed they were bringing it back after resolving that
oh, haven't noticed it improving personally, but not like I've checked every day
Based on current system there will be no rng or sigil drops, it will be skull point unlocks.
much better system than rng drops
Yeah just curious if the PvP ones will still be tradeable and on the drop table since it said they'd stay the same as previously. Going to be some tough decisions if the same currency to unlock quest lines is used for sigils
Looking at the blog, there is no tradeable sigil of any kind. it will be skul point unlockable
this is good, because it was not fair to fight some RWT or gold swapping manaic who had sigil of the ninja day 1
just had a thought, is the DMM bowfa recolor going to be usable on uncorrupted bowfa? cause for current recolors it has to be corrupted, but I don't think people use corrupted bowfa for PvP
Anyone know if they fixed the sailing related clue steps?
my guess would be no, since there's not even a blog post
gridmaster also still enabled on w590
yeah going to falador w302 bring back bounty hunter world or riot
Ah shit, that's wasted last-step master.
When is bh back???
318 and 559 are down
Fr
They are investegate it
Just got the dragon keel parts falo step again, so not fixed, another drop. Last step too fml
Will we be able to use tees at the docks to boost construction to build ships?
i assume the base levels are not boostable that unlock the 3 different ship styles
for example oak hull, requires different sailing levels for every individual one
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Oak_hull#Raft
Also you can't take tea out of your house, can you?
the large oak hull parts are made in the workbench in your house
that sounds boostable to me
You can prob boost to make the parts, but you may not be able to actually assemble the parts into a boat without the sailing level
the wiki also has a (b) for the rosewood hull parts
Boosts don’t disappear when you leave the PoH, but those items do. You can still boost then leave.
u rite
with stew and crystal saw you'd look at a minimum 76 construction for rosewood
Do we know which if any stew will boost Sailing yet?
(And if Sailing boosts do anything)
@chrome lantern might be one of the drinks you can find when salvaging
Not what I was asking
We don't
(that I've heard)
@chrome lantern why i said what i said what cause each stew is a different function ( harvesting, production, etc) sailing had all from combat harvesting and production so stew shouldnt work
@vague viper Hey sorry for the ping! Just wanted to tell you that world 628 is still a f2p gridmaster world. Just confirmed it myself by logging in with my f2p alt.
Wow really? Not even a round of bug fixes?
fairly certain this was answered at some point during the Q&A but I don't remember the answer. I think yes but not sure about color, wanna say orange or yellow
390w and 569w not working
We got a bug addition, LMS doesn't work on any world
lol
idk if we know
but i would guess yellow
i think they would classify sailing as a utility skill
and if they do let you boost it would probably work on like shipwrecks if nothing else
should be yellow yes
Appreciate the copy pasta
💀
mfers that can't play the game with constant pop-ups and 16x multipliers 🥀
Mate risk fight me for bis mage and oathplate with d claws
We see who is shit at the game
@ember token thoughts?
average oscord moment
Hahahahaha
i think it speaks for itself
"The only people who wanted a new skill are you sweats"
81% wanted a new skill
Hmmmmm
81% of players are degens? Seems low tbh.
if you log in for more than just the seasonal gamemodes, you have no job, no life, and are also very stinky and sweaty
Showers? Who is that?
Unlike the dedicated people out there who matter, the ones with 13 wives and 110 children and 7 jobs to hold down
They can only play 1 picosecond of this game every week and it needs to cater to them
According to the polls. Ask the entire player base that subscribes within a one year period of time.
Just stop bro lol
Brother if you can't log in to vote on a poll that lasts a week, I'm sorry you really don't have much say in the game lmao
It takes 30 seconds
You can do it on mobile while taking a piss
I thought it was actually a joke from someone who knew Data or something tbh
Why was he even tagged
He's a sweat
It was 2 days ago but I work and didnt have the time till now.
mhmm
its because i said something to him the other day on the topic
IRC sweats were proportionally more against sailing more than the casual 13 wife 110 children 7 job people (https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Sailing_Poll_Results_Summary) "Those above 2101 total levels were generally sitting at around 62% ‘Yes’ votes."
he used up his 5 minutes of free time a week to write up the comment and ping me
Also interesting to say that the sweats are controlling the votes when polls are by far dominated by casuals who barely, if at all, read polls
Can you prove that with fact?
can you?
Check sailing poll breakdown. "Those above 2101 total levels were generally sitting at around 62% ‘Yes’ votes." (https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Sailing_Poll_Results_Summary)
With a little chatgpt, anything is possible!
Aka, more casuals control the vote than the sweats, sailing wouldn't have passed if sweats dominated polls.
always interesting when one side of anythings ask for another to provide proof, without providing proof themselves
THEIR barbaric anecdotal claims
OUR enlightened observational awareness
indeed
Those ABOVE 2101 total levels were generally sitting at around 62% yes votes means the majority was for sailing.
polls say that claim is correct, most are for sailing
which is still less than the % of lower level players that voted yes, correct
which also means the more casual community dominated the poll
or put another way, if only "sweats" could vote, sailing would fail
which is the opposite of your claim
What's the total above 2101 that voted, and what's the total count of lower that voted?
Percents only tell you a portion of the total. Not what the actual count is.
Make sure you provide all sources please.
sweats do not dominate polls
Sailing out next Wednesday, you can quit before it comes out
its the literal same blog that was linked to you
Bro its already happened
“Sweats” both voted far less proportionately in favor of the skill and make up a lower portion of the player base
But how many total voted in each category?
Ads up everyone over 1800 and r everyone below 1800
What do you define as a sweat
1800 totals are sweats now
I know many many people even with high total levels that are very casual
We define sweat as whatever makes the argument correct!
I was angry when I said sweat. I just mean people who have membership through the whole year and fine time daily to play. I would love to. But leagues is so much more fun. Similar to poe but nostalgic. Sorry I even got mean. Im just not a pvp fan
when you dont play the game, 1800 total is gonna seem like a lot
Woah look at that goalpost move, damn. So speedy!
I’ll be frank, voting requirements are already way too low and the direction of the game shouldn’t be controlled by people that don’t regularly play it
But all players are the player base whether your pride let's you believe it or not.
Which is why the new poll updates are, or can be, goated 
Gotta restrict more tbh
I don’t value the opinion of someone with 20 kc on a boss for polls on that boss either
Yeah bosses for sure now I think about it. Youre logic there makes sense
Why should it be any different for the game at large
and still, the more casual the player the more likely they were to vote for sailing
20+ hespori kc for any update. Why? Because demonic digger that's why.
Ok but if you have 500 total you don’t have valuable insights on the things being polled
Waiting to see how they restrict future polls
Most things*
And guess what, voting reqs are even lower than that
How do you know its not someone who played before and just doesn't have insight on most bosses.
If they played before in any meaningful capacity that would have higher stats wouldn’t they
Than current minimum voting reqs
Either way it the same character on the server. 500ilvl is 500ilvl. Only in real life he has the insight and none of us know each other unless chosen.
And if they lost access or got banned, rip. Train and vote on the next one
Then he can vote on his account that has the requirements
frick mobile autocorrect
Going by the graph https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Sailing_Poll_Results_Summary#/media/File:Sailing_Poll_Results_Summary_(4).png, I don't think minimum voters make much difference either. It looks like engagement in polls really tick up starting from 1200 ttl, and almost doubles again from 1500+ ttl.
Not if they started it the day before. So since none of us know anything about laws, why do we vote on them and they effect our world, or at least my country.
18-100 doesn't matter just vote
What
If they started the day before then they don’t have current insights
What
This is why people need to be gatekept more
“What if they played before”
“What if they had actually just started playing”
That’s what you just wrote
?
The data was separated so we could see which group had teh biggest impact, but they didn't impact the vote what
I have no idea what point you’re even trying to make either
OSRS Polls aren’t a republic where you elect lawmakers
We aren’t ignorant. You’re simply speaking nonsense and hoping something sticks
No youre not getting it. Why can't all people vote in osrs but all of use can in real life?
utterly ridiculous comparison yes
You want the demographic changes so the best only can. Thats like separating rich from poor.
because having a 500 total level is the bare requirement and is fair
it's not different than being 18 y/o to vote
They're talking about raising it
also you can only vote when you are 18 and most of those people have gone to schools for like 12 of those years
so thats the equivalent to having a lot of experience in the game
Yes, because right now, it's like the equivalent of a 5 year old can vote
300-500 total level is obnoxiously low
🥱
its different in every country but the point still stands
someone who spent 5 or even 100 hours in osrs shouldnt vote on things they have absolutely no understanding of
Not all people can even vote in real life either. There are citizenship requirements.
and frankly some people shouldnt vote on things in real life either but thats a different conversation
Also residence
same reason why presidents have to be 35 minimum. it's fucking stupid to allow a 14 year old to be president
🥱
So by your own statement that’s corrupt, then? Meaning it shouldn’t be/isn’t legally allowed?
Why would we do that in OSRS then

😄

Regardless, this has gone far beyond the scope of on-topic. It seems you’ve settled on an arbitrary notion that isn’t supported by data about a skill that will be releasing in less than a week and won’t be changing. You agree that people shouldn’t be voting on things they’re not informed about (e.g. bosses they haven’t killed in notable amounts).
No politics

Reminder that there is a polling charter that describes how OldSchool RuneScape polls work.
what are the new requirements they are planning on raising it to?
They haven’t said anything about raising polling reqs
Just talked about the new system letting them put restrictions on certain questions a lot easier
the base reqs are the same but they have the ability to have a variety of reqs to specific questions
ye thats fine im in favor of that but what would be new reqs for those questions? like how experinced would u have to be to say i dont know vote on yama contract mehcnaical changes or tob etc
depends on the question
if they were to poll changing the cox capes to count normal mode KC, you'd probably need at minimum 100 CM kc if not like, 250+ or 500+
alright ye that doesint sound to bad then
I figured they might give u a pass if u have like 1kc
I unfortunately doubt Jagex will do anything more than like 10 or 20kc
I think their example of the new polling system said like 20 in their example
at the very least being able to vote on those changes with those reqs is a pretty big jump then off of turt island
Imagine if RS3 removes EoC and use the old combat system
I was too naive to think that when I started watching the new video of the MTX removal hahah
you can do this today if you want
nobody is forcing you to engage with abilities
plus EoC is far from being like how it was over a decade ago
Idk why when they started saying in the horizon of updates "Combat" was part of it in my heart thats what I felt
that's some copium
I didnt quit rs3 because of MTX I quit due to EoC
Then Osrs started and played day 1
stopped for years until 2016
i mean i think the polling requirements should be way way higher but
its obvious that its just as much about marketing and being able to say its community driven
its always been a bit of a sham though like yeah we do vote on changes but we don't decide what they choose to put on polls
i feel like we rarely vote on something thats like
controversial or something where they really want to know what the community thinks
they kind of design their questions and goals with what they think people would agree with and often go to some length to setup the narrative the way they want people to think about it
before we ever see the poll
its still good that they have to so heavily consider though even if the actual part where people vote is kind of a joke at this point
I agree with that in the past but I think them lowering the pass thershold and sailing is prob best example of them trying to try something creative and with alot of debate
they tried releasing runious powers to for the most part they are playing safe but not always safe
Not really sure where to post this tbh. Tried to fill in the new survey and the extra comment bit but had an issue. If you use the wasd camera plugin then it messes up your typing in the comments but of the survey
I did not have any issues with that and I also use the Camera plugin with WASD camera
Also even if that were an issue it would be a RuneLite issue and should be handled in their discord, which can be accessed from the official RuneLite website (linked on the OSRS official homepage)
I think ornament kits are good
Ew
Its funny to see OSRS voting play out like all other voting XD
Jagex great work on the DDOS attacks, looks like you're doing amazing stuff - do we have any updates as to when we can expect playable servers in the LATAM/SAM/CAM regions please? 78MS to East Coast US is not ideal. Thanks.

78ms is more than good lol
I’ve moved around a good bit and there is almost no difference between 20 and 90 ping
Anything under like 120 is more than fine tbh
78ms lol
if you guys are getting that good ping already then i’d say pretty much any other region should be getting new servers before yours does
are death runes on the GE currently broken? somethings wonky
In what sense
the last price update is from 40 minutes ago. and the ge is acting like im the only one selling
every item ive looked at is from 40 minutes ago, but i know ive managed to trade lobster within that time
ive listed two differing issues
i should probably add to that, sorry. i wasnt able to buy a death rune with 5000 coins
Did you hit buy limit?
f
78 
I actually prefer 80-110
Hence played on UK worlds for years
Stability also matters more than ping before 300 ms
They buy, seems trackers are down
unstable Ping might as well be 2000 ms
wait, so you can sell youself items outside of the limit?
i mean you can buy from yourself over the limit
bought from myself for 68000g. guessing it wouldn't not show up on the trackers though, even if they were up
yeah, im playing osrs because other games are 300ms for me, from australia. enemies with dodge mechanics just become super hard or undodge-able
unrelated, but the Chain from A Taste of Hope says "That Sailing item is unavailable on this world." when attempting to pick it up off the floor (not gamebreaking, but it can be collected and banked 1 by 1)
So this is the reason I've had 50% higher ping over the last month
u ok?

he was simply asking for 59,000 people to help him do the fight caves duh
weird, I guess they confused it for the new chain from sailing (which apparently shares the same sprite/name)
I'd send a report in to jagex if you havent already
also that chain has had a typo for 7 years which is fun
Hope devs dont forget to add sailing to clan events
🙂
Are we going to be able to bless our ships with holy elixer?
Seems like good idea to make use of not so used now item
Is the account recovery update still on track for the end of fall/autumn this year? Seeing if I should keep my hopes up for now.
coming from China, I would kill for 78. I get 165 to USW and AUS on a good day, and everything else is rather unplayable
Will bird nests drop the new seeds once sailing releses?
nobody knows
Got it. Wasn't sure if it had been confirmed anywhere.
only confirmation was that they for sure wont if you bought/have them already
Yeah. Planning to just sit on these mole parts and trade them in after the update to be safe.
and honestly i hope they dont, at least not for a bit after release
I get it.
You have to kill 2 per 1 kc though since they’re only half bird
Cerb now counts as 3 dogs
Gryphons are half a bird
Wasn't arraxor supposed to be araxite task only and it ended up releasing with spiders as a valid task too?
Something something they were not "technically spiders" but I guess they changed their mind
think they said that so that people would go out and pre-load a spider task
wouldnt*
Hmm maybe lol
Iirc you didn't need a task or the slayer lvl at all to kill arraxor at all on release. Rendi has a video of him killing it on that lvl 3 he has.
You still need a task
He got a spider task (needed to enter) then couldn't attack it (requires slayer level) and recoiled it down
If its like old nests probably not
Theres several discontinued versions of bird nests from before new seeds came out
I saw that note about the farming guild release, but it talked about seed nests that were already in game
New item for my discontinued stash 
But I'm wondering if its different if I get the nests after release
Probably but hard to say at this point
Will report back on Wednesday 👍
That's a z-buffer issue
Bugged with them adding in new z-buffer rendering when they took down the beta new renderer
If you're on Runelite, try downloading the Legacy GPU plugin
that fixed it
On official client you can toggle zbuffer with command “::zbuf [0/1]”
Wait why does this work
I’m not sure what it’s all changing, and it’s not 100% fixing issues, but the glory and ground items show up and my Tzhaar horde go under the floor. 
its going to fix some things and break others, its frankly horrible advice
game bug: if you start making fine fish offcuts while moving, your character does the animation but never makes any
0 turns off the zbuffering, and 1 turns it on. They made a change 1-2 weeks back, that enabled zbuffering. Zbuffering is supposed to render graphics a bit better, but it’s still a bit buggy since it’s new. Turning it off should fix any new graphical issues that occurred in last 1-2 weeks, but it’s a downgrade tech wise.
When they fix all the Zbuffering bugs, having it enabled should theoretically be a better experience. I don’t know if it will even be toggleable in the future.
It’s also defaulted to back on when you log off / back on, so maybe they have that as a double check while they progress or something.
But good to know, appreciate the explanation
@wicked sluice
Update happening before the content actually releases is pretty nice I think
Everyone gets a chance to log in and not have to worry about the servers petrifying themselves while trying to race for world firsts
I personally think it's really cool that they can just turn on a skill whilst the servers are online
Its nice tech ye
servers will absolutely shit themselves regardless dw
The rollout is to ensure the servers do not shit themselves. Jagex Launcher is a different story.
Iirc all the content and whatnot is already in the game, it's just tied to a global server flag which enables the Pandemonium quest
After that, you can get a boat
It will help the login servers, the world servers will still absolutely shit themselves when 100k+ people will all be in the same spot on the map
i wouldnt count on decent performance or playability in the first couple of hours
The stress test might've helped with that
ye might have, just speaking from other mmos who have dealt with similar things, it never runs smooth
and this is more or less jagex first attempt at something this big
I mean Gridmaster launched extremely smoothly and that's thousands of people suddenly spawning at Lumby
Literal complaints that it was too smooth because people assumed 2 hour delay and there wasn't any. Rip
Will it be possible to use antique lamps on the sailing skill?
not for 2 weeks
yeah was linked somewhere by plinxy
so after 2 weeks whoever has the most dark relics and exp lamps banked gets a huge jump? lol
Thats kinda lame, should be after first 200m
Not that I think people have been farming out a ton of CoX in preparation, so it probably won't matter
After first 99 maybe
But jagex should never give any consideration to post 99 xp beyond listing them on the high scores
the race to 200m isnt gonna be decided by who had more banked lamps imo
Yeah it won't be the decider, but if some1 like rank 1 cox went for 99 he would have 5m exp in dark relics alone, assuming he hasn't used any
Are there other ways to store dark relics other than deaths coffer? If not then theoretical max, including inventory would be like 730k xp
After that I think the only other "concern" is frog tokens and it feels quite unlikely that the person who would end up getting 200m would end up having enough frog tokens to matter
everyone getting 200m just decides to never hit it
Yea good point I forgot theres a cap on how much of an item you can have in deaths coffer
The frog tokens should be negligible even if you've been saving them since osrs launch lol
I have like 10 random event exp lamps saved up sometimes its too annoying to deathbank it
yeah its best for jagex to just ignore the 200m race im ngl
whatever goes on with that level of degen its probably not something they should even be worried about lmao
its more interesting anyways tbh if they just let those guys do whatever sweaty crazy people shit they can come up with
can we please get an npc that i can pay to bale noted flax for like 300 gp each?
See game suggestions https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1401520376873357362
Me trying to figure out what bale of flax is lol
too much time at doom
Countdown until sailing is up?
on the wiki
It’s really really disappointing to me that Jagex saw, “Hey, Frost Dragons suck more than we intended!” and their solution was to bloat the slayer task list even further instead of just making Dragon metal sheets more common
Even with the slayer helm, you’re not making the grind better by much if you still have to kill an obscene number of them lmao
Now we’re stuck with the same awful experience of grinding the sheets, but our task list will be slightly worse off afterward compared to currently
It’s time
Hoist the colors
ya its kinda cringe that their solution was wow frost dragons suck so we're gonna let you kill more of them on task
lmao i do not honestly think that addresses the problem people will have with it
Which channel will be used to report any bugs if we find them
You may also want to consider reporting them to us via Discord in the ‘Sailing’ channel. This is because Discord’s functionality includes the ability for users to upload images or files, which can be useful to us when we identify bugs or issues. Please note, tagging individual staff members outside of the Community Management team is not required and may disrupt their work.
Reading is hard yo
dw it'll probably be adjusted further
idk why we're apparently going to go through this process but lol
they're gonna go from "wow this takes too long" to "wow this still takes too long even with a slayer helm on"
so i can only really assume they'll also change rates
maybe they'll spice it up and get toxic by changing rates only on task or something so people go point boost or skip for it
look forward to seeing all 500k of my brothers killing frost dragons with me tho
Just as a baseline statement though, slayer task weight adjustment feels like an especially bad way to go about it. Could easily have made it 30 more on-task rather than increasing weight
oh yeah the slayer solution is like
maximum collateral changes
idk why they would go that way
The task weight is also still so low that nobody at all is probably going to be doing all of them on task unless they’re burning tens or hundreds of thousands of slayer points
Because at a weight of 5 you’re not going to save time tskipping for those
ya im kind of assuming people will go for the two tasks or
all of us will just be in a somewhat small looking room trying to kill the dragons
hopefully they anticipated adding extra rooms
To be clear, I don’t want the task list blighted with another high-weight task either. Make it an optionally-unlocked task like Lizardmen, or group it under Blue Dragons
i mean they just seem to want us to bottleneck in there with anyone else trying to grind
it might be really bad
depending on how many dragons are available
It just feels like they very intentionally setup an environment where any sane ironman won’t touch it for weeks and hope it gets adjusted like Mixology
i mean it just depends
if its terrible we'll just go get 99 with rune equipment instead of even engaging
which is probably pretty poorly designed
or it'll be decent enough for a few upgrades
Sure maybe a sheet or two for hook or something
But a keel? Nah
First, Mod Husky gets asked about the Dragon sheet grind and brings up literally grinding tens of thousands of demons for Radiant Oathplate contracts, then, the very same Sailing dev team writes in their blog that testing showed the grind was longer than they would like
I have zero optimism
For that one aspect in particular, that is
Rip falo step
Do we think we can do tears for Sailing xp now
Not for two weeks
Also wouldn’t expect that to work later either without having done the Pandemonium quest, similar to how you can’t lamp con or herb before buying a house or doing druidic ritual
The karambwan fishing spot is gone
it does that until some people go through the Shaikahan cutscene
that spot being permanent is the actual bug
Doesn’t it just spawn somewhere else and just move around initially
yeah
Just saying it’s there
oh. thanks 🙂
it just follows where it would've been until it gets stuck again
I need to make a simpsons meme about this
Yeah it happens literally every server reset
The spot from the cutscene moves to where the real spots go and eventually the whole place is full of them
don't make me tap the sign - "the karambwan spot will return to normal soon"
happens every update too 
Gim highscores sum of total level does not include sailing level yet
think that was just fixed
yep, we ran into a couple of snags with releasing the updated GIM Hiscores but that's sorted now
PSA for anyone wondering
already heard someone dismantle it the old way and lose their inferno cape
Old way?
at mac
Honestly didn't even know that was a thing
Uhm
Did they change NPC contact?
It does the animation before asking who you're talking to
It used to always bring up the menu, then do the cast animation
why can i not see my boat?
turn off legacy gpu
man something aint happy it keeps crashing my client
I'm in first in the clan
turn off 117 btw
this. was having the crashing issues myself. Turns out it was this. GPU seems to be fine
It actually crashed my whole pc
oh damn!
Yea same here
turn off 117 if you're using it
I knew i shouldnt have gotten up right at launch lmao
Ill try that thanks
I accidentally teleported away from pandemonium before finishing the quest. How do I get back?
are we live yet
Turn on gpu everyone its much smoother
Holy rank 1
Yes its live now
Hell yea
(I'm the only one dumb enough to relog)
Thanks... Just gotta remember to switch back to legeacy if im doing combat xD
i have teleported away fron pandor island during quest and i have no way of getting back tips tryed charter does not work
boats getting stuck?
unstuck it, or teleport away and teleport boat to you
reverse
For anyone getting stuck:
*If you are at the dock, right-click the Gangplank to leave, and then relog
*If you are out at sea, right-click the Tiller and click 'Escape', and then relog. This will cause you to lose any cargo in your hold but will reset the ship.
this shit is tough. i hope we get a quest guide
if i have to actually read the quest diary its already aids
so what the answer if the salvaging hook doesn't deploy in the pandemonium quest. (you can no longer use the helm at this point)
dunno lets finish quest first. why no guide on release i dont know
we dont get quest guides on release
so they want us flopping around struggling to get the privilege to train a skill?
release the skill and add a 'tutor' so the people that don't do quests can get on with it
L on this one Jamflex
lol
The quest is the tutor, do the quest 🙂
weird take on a quest matey
???? locking a skill or a piece of the game vehind npc dialogue? thats so weird in itself
could be nice if the port master in musa would stay put
i think theyre trolling
jagex is definitely trolling
Yeah I should have gotten that at first lol
having the time of their life
just going to toss it up to self impoed skill issue
lol
ever hear of druidic ritual?
x2 moronic moves from jamflex
um the salvaging hook can get stuck in the tutor quest. (tele, world hope have both not fixed)
went to the shipyard and teled. now how to get there????
Stop making this in the slightest challenging, jamflex
You dont need it for the tutorial quest so have you tried turning it back into a cargo hold and finishing the quest first?
being on will and anne's boat. yes it is
ah that part, what happens when you click it?
I'm using 117, gonna disable it now, but I've had 1 driver timeout and 1 system crash in a sailing heavy area. Will report back with it disabled. On AMD
we stand around well the hook doesn't drop
disabling fixes it
Do you get a red x for the click?
very strange, make a post in https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1435267698979242145
seem that i am not the only that this is happening to, as there is already a bug report on the issue.
mine bugged as well but i was put back on the boat and was able to operate the salvagine hook again
try that. didn't work
anyones game working with 117?
turn it off
turn it off
Holy banana
how do i get to pandemoneum?
start in port sarim
sail there or take the boat in sarim
surely they add a quick withdraw to cargo. it feels so clunky to engage with sailing
I cant use the teleport to ship
Is sailing out?
and idk how to get to pandemoneum
get there by the quest
The guy that goes to Musa Point in Port Sarim also goes to/from Pandemonium
Ok
recover it in a different port
Thank you
if you just wanna get your shipü
is recovering it free?
250 gp or smth
250gp ye
nice
pretty cheap
Anyone else keep watching the sailing HiScore board?
early lvls so slow
??
well ya its not ment to be super fast
yeah not worth doing salvaging right away
how am I supposed to get rank 1 if the afk method is so slow
Oh look at me, Im soo funny cuz i can type sarcastic stuff out of context 🙂
Wha ya the afk method
Did you guys forget to add ring of charos to pandemonium charter fees?
quest guide- waiting
When someone with Ann's Ship is ahead of you, it stops you from moving
is that intentional or bug?
@torpid delta
Something seems to not work here
I can't interact with this at all lmao
Apparently I can interact with it only while navigating
Have we seen if the new hops seeds can come from seed packs or master farmers?
ive heard they show up from neither
ooh
has anyone figured out where to get hemp seeds
I'm not seeing any of the random events or the whirlpools while sailing.... is there a solution for this? I have tried turning off GPU, don't have legacy GPU or 117 installed, and I even tried creating a default profile and resetting the browser.... Nothing works
how about random events?
make sureu dont have them turned off in entity hider
yep
and then pay attention while sailing
I am dude
personally only seen 2 so far, both the blue shimer u have to follow
I hear the audio queue they just don't show up
that did solve the gentle rapids situation though, thank ya fella
they generally show up ahead of you in the distance
some are less obvious like strong winds you have to sail into
can i hide other peoples boats?
Anyone know how to get river lum crate?
Where is sailing discussion happening? Just wanted to check-in on how it’s going but doesn’t seem to be any action in the channels I checked
Nvm had sailing chat muted and that hid it
need to use a raft
wher do i get the spyglass?
cargohold bottom left
ty didnt know that was clickable. tysvm
im done, i will wait a few days to interact with sailing...
I've pickpocketed the farming guild Master Farmer a few hundred times. Either the new seeds are extremely rare (Wildblood hop is 1/142 for reference) or it doesnt drop here
dunno if jagex confirmed this already or if it's all hearsay
Has anyone seen the like current in the ocean that has a bar ticking down over it? And then it moves?
What's that?
ahh gotcha
no seed packs, no build nests, no master farmers
why would they want you to not interact with new content when they've said they want you to interact with the new content
I could see the argument where they integrate it with existing content
idk why that's a stretch at all
they said they dont want to
What is happening with tthis game. I went ot change my max cape back to original from (dizana's and imbued zamorak cape) got back only 1.8mil bit not the orginal capes like you supose to get atleast the website told. So the question is what iom supose to do now?
doesnt hurt to check, it's not like they confirmed it anyways
hence why i'm posting here 🙂
u didnt use a knife on it?
no? i asumed u can just go to mac wich sells cape and change it with him but no
