Allow us to turn off dynamic fill/empty for Essence Pouches

[shell sorrel]

I know a thread exists somewhere regarding this, but more attention needs to be brought to it.

This change made it so your essence pouch left click will now change depending on having essence in your inventory, a full pouch, etc..

I think this is a GREAT update for the client/mobile, don't get me wrong. However, this has made it pretty hellish to use without counting ticks.

If you try to empty the pouch, click the altar, and empty the pouch again in the same tick, you will end up filling your pouch again, meaning you will lose pouch degradation 100% of the time. This is a direct nerf from being able to Empty -> Click Altar -> Empty in the same tick. Doing so now will FILL your pouch

This actively becomes a nerf to efficiency that has been in the game since essence pouches have existed. More time wasted repairing pouches, clicking to empty your pouch again, less runes crafted, less profit, less xp/h solely on a UI change which is a great change for mobile for sure!

All I'm asking is that an option to turn OFF this dynamic function be implemented into the game. I don't see why we couldn't do that, and revert this active nerf (which may seem slight or non-existent to some, but trust me, it's there) on a method and efficiency that has been around since OSRS' inception.

Thank you!

this sucks sorry

nah this is sick tho

already a thing in rl (kinda?) but would be cool in mobile

for muscle memory michaels

All I'm asking for is the option to enable/disable it 🙏

gagek I will happily post videos of what I mean if you'd like

[shell sorrel]

nah even in RL it will dynamically switch until the tick after the essence is used on altars

[earnest yew]

fr? i thought i could just do alter and empty same tick

[shell sorrel]

it's effectively a 3 tick nerf on pre-change RC

[shell sorrel]

not anymore with this change

[earnest yew]

ohh i did this like

over 2 years ago

that makes sense

[shell sorrel]

it was like this before the late January update to pouches

[earnest yew]

ahhh

[shell sorrel]

now it's just REALLY clunky on desktop

[earnest yew]

click pouch altar
wait tick
repeat

i assume

[shell sorrel]

yep, click empty, wait for essence to be used on altar, empty, wait for essence to be used on altar, etc..

[earnest yew]

ew

[shell sorrel]

no more empty -> use on altar -> empty in the same tick anymore

[shell sorrel]

After doing a bit of research, I've found that this is most likely an UNINTENDED change, and was not tested before release of the UI change. Hopefully we can get this fixed 🙏

[shell sorrel]

I hope pingu doesn't yell at me but bump 🙏 this is definitely an unintended nerf to xp and really needs to be visible to the correct people

[shell sorrel]

rejoice RC'ers, and fill out a bug report with the info I put here if you want it changed back to the way it was 🙂

[worn shale]

I hope they dont just fix the bug, but actually give us the old functionality back too

[shell sorrel]

hope so! Would like to be able to turn it on/off

it really was just meant as a ui change to make RC better on Mobile, but PC got nerfed at the same time

[shell sorrel]

bump, let's get this fixed

[shell sorrel]

this unintended change is still unfixed

[silent grove]

great idea

[waxen pendant]

the amount of times I missed my portals because of this at gotr this week man...

[shell sorrel]

yeah I dont even want to attempt GOTR until it's fixed. Its a bit ridiculous

[shell sorrel]

Happy bump because Mod Ash said the Dev that made this change is looking into it : )

[worn shale]

bump, still no option for this? PLEASE I cant do RC until the old functionality is back

[shell sorrel]

yeah i did 99 at zmi and it sucked

fix this anyway
