Is runescape still good?
>>724451047No
>>724451047never was
if you're gonna make an e-celeb thread at least try to be subtle about it
>>724451181Yo this gameplay is fire!
>>724451181this is the only satisfying rpg combat ever designed, how the fuck did jagex do it
OSRS?it's a retirement MMO that's only around for content creators and gold farmers to exploit it.
Whenever I think of "PC exclusives" games, this is the type of slop that comes up to mind. I'd unironically rather spend $450 on a PS5 just to play Astro Bot than every single "PC exclusive" ever made.
>>724451190Are you from Jewish states?
It's still the last good MMO on the market, yeah
Kaya
>>724451047It has soulful graphics, fun exploration, nice feeling of progression (especially magic), thrilling pvp and decent non-handholding questsHOWEVER..all that good is outweighed HEAVILY by the sheer autistic repetition, such as leveling crafts, back and forth walking and insanely expensive magic..I want to play OSRS, but I can't stand using scripts/botting, and that is literally the only way to make the game tolerable.Maybe some day I'll find a private server with 100x exp rate or something, perhaps that will make it fun for my old jaded & impatient ass
>>724451047>stillIt never was.
>>724454491false classic was good
>>724451696wtf dofus is a good game tooit just filters people who cannot stand turn based games
>>724451446>he's a console peasantlmao
>>724454541The only things good about it were that it was free and ran in a browser. As such it was the realm of poorfags.t. played for a short time in 2001~2002
>>724451181moving like world of tshirts in the beginning there, i recognize the autisms
>>724451047>still
>>724451047Considering shill threads, no it's not.
>>724451531I'm not even american, nor am I offended, yet I still find it ironic for a supposedly japanese person to shit on Runescape, when you consider how much sheer soulless RPGmaker shit they pump out (not to mention their other RPG:s in general)almost all of their games are numberchasers too>raise stat, number go up>find new enemy, they have higher numbers>gain new ability, it creates bigger number>gameplay mechanics? what are those? - boss fights are like 90% of the time just timing your heals, guards and attacks, because statuses don't work oon them>lame-ass kill god/demon king plots, unless it's a H-game>combat is barely animated beyond effect spritesI can count all the fun JRPG:s I've played on one hand, and two if I really must include some terminally average/repeated experiences>FF Tactics, FFIX, FFX, Kamidori, Pokemon EmeraldNo, I will not count Souls or Dragon's Dogma as a JRPG, even though technically it's not wrong to say so
>>724451047This isn't funny. Hasan didn't shock his dog you fucking bigot chud. God I hate this fucking website. You're all a bunch of fucking far-right fascists who rely on dogwhistles to spread your "message" (a shitty message at that).Also what's with all the anti-Indian posting lately? I'm fucking sick of seeing anti-Indian posting on /v/ and other boards as well as Twitter (not calling it "X" fuck off).Fuck off.
>>724451047>Click every prayer / movement / attack / equipment swap / etc perfectly>Die in 1 hitPick 1 3-5+ times per second for end game contentNo, it's fucking shit. Flawless rote clicking isn't a fun mechanic.
>>724454843it's an old joke newfaga v e r a g e a m e r i c a n m a n poster was an american himself
I'm at 2k total on an ironman, took a break after a little after perilous moons dropped. Are there any updates sense them that are huge game changes? Locked bank deposit slots and clue scroll boxes are the biggest changes that surprised me. Did they rework run energy? If so did it make a difference?
>>724455227Pardon me for not keeping up with some ancient v-celeb,it's a miracle I even know chinman or mario is a nigger references
>>724455307Sailing in November, anon.
>>724455354That's what convinced me to come back. I tried one of the alphas and really liked how it felt.
>>724451047>>724451696>>724454358It died when they replaced rs2 with rs3/eoc and made verything gay including the (((clasic))) demake
>>724456965>including the (((clasic))) demakeIt was literally an old snapshot they put back up
Never was
>>724457929What part of what I said was incorrect?
HPSHD
>>7244510472200 hundred total ironman heredon't play itif you don't have the right kind of autism, you'll just drop it in like 2 days. If you do have the right kind of autism, you'll become very addicted. better to just assume you're in group 1 and not find out yourself.
>>724451047Once I find success in life I'll allow myself to get back into Runescape and get a quest cape as an IronmemeUntil then I'm not booting up the game even for a second, as I know I'll get addicted
>>724451531>reskins Wizardry for 4 decades
>>724459454>have just the right amount of autism to come back and play it occasionally for a bitFeels good
>>724454358just start your own private server, it's actually possible now.
>>724460972just play on the alternative private servers without that trash.
>>724454358>insanely expensive magicRunetodt (guardians of the rift) crashed the prices pretty effectively and magic was reworked to work on more early/mid game stuff via element weaknesses. Air water and earth spells hit just as hard as up to fire now (e.g. air strike inherits fire strike's max hit if you have the magic for fire strike).It's still not that great for expenses, but it's not prohibitive as it was before. It can also nuke enemies pretty hard now if they have a weakness; Zulrah melts with fire spells. You can nuke barrows with air spells. Crumble undead is a niche tool at best now though since air spells will usually outdo it which sucks for consistency.It's been like this for a while now.
>>724451047Yooo nigga just sara striked that guard dog in ArdyMeans he mustve done mage arena AND cast the spell 100 times in the arenaWhat a pro
>>724465921All for an e-celeb joke
>>724456965There is literally nothing wrong with EoC
>>724466890Oh I just got the jokeKek
Greatest game of all timeI wish there was another game like it. My favorite part of Runescape are the quests.
>>724451249Low numbers. There aren't that many games in general where getting hit for 65 damage in the endgame is "Oh shit!". It keeps combat crunchy.
>>724468104Based quest enjoyer. Favorite quests?
>>724469394Underground Pass for sure
>>724469458I like figuring the quests out on my own. Underground pass is one of those quests where if you don't refer to the guide, you'll be stuck there forever
>>724451047Why did he do it?
>>724454723is his liver still intact?
>>724451181This mindbreaks zoomers who cant fathom enjoying something if you're not mashing a button every half second
YES. PLAY RS3
>>724477793RS3 sucks
ask me again what i think of runescape when i am allowed to leave the red prison known as corrupted gauntlet
>>724477918You can leave whenever you want
>>724471360Im totally with you, desert treasure was really fun to do blind, although i ended up looking up the final pyramid run because i failed it like 8 times in a rowthe rest of it you could do on your own iirc
>>724477918>bowfa>in current yearLol. Lmao, even
>>724451181Alright now post awakened leviathan
>>724471360>Start new quest>Open quest guide >Grab all required and recommended items>Close the guideYep it's questing timeFuck being told to grab an orange slice for no fucking reason before I'm allowed to continue the quest
Barbarian Assault is the truest test of runescape gamer skill, if you're bad at BA you're bad at the game.
rs3 > 2004scape > brighter shores > rs dragon wilds > literal rs private servers > osrs
>>724480589Bait used to be believable
>finally on last step of first hard clue scroll, i think>need an item can only get from completing hard clue scrolls>9+ year old posts bitching about thisyall aint voting for fixing shit out here putting sailboats instead the game is rigged
>>724481221Helmie issue. Git gud.
>>724475558I'm a zoomer and somewhat enjoy more calm and paused games, but runescape literally has zero gameplay, the whole game is literally endlessly grinding levels ad nauseam.
>>724482106>I'm a zoomer and I'm going to prove your pointOk?
>>724480646its not bait.OSRS is where the soul goes to die.
>>724482317I'm trans btw if that matters
>>724469394Children of Mah
Same Redditors playing OSRS? LOL.Have fun playing OldSchool Redditscape. OSRS has 80% bots on at any given time by the way.
>>724482543reddit spacing
>>724482543Ok?
>>724455307Yeah, they did the run energy rework and it's great, Graceful doesn't feel mandatory anymore for just running around the game.
>>724482981not a thing
>>724485087Peer-reviewed studies say otherwise

>>724482161>Literally do the contrary and argue that people don't like the game because it's repetitive and boring>American english as zeroth language lacks any reading comprehension and thinks I said something completely differentIs the mutt schooling system really this bad?
>>724486632Voted. Squeal of Fortune was the worst update in RuneScape history. Almost 14 years ago was it implemented. Finally the healing the begin.
>>724451047https://secure.runescape.com/m=poll/treasure-hunter-poll
>>724486632They can't undo like 15 years of MTX bloating everyone's gains. EXP and otherwise. All the damage is already done to the player base and the economy. They'd have to reset everything by making a new game or at the least uncap skills from 200m experience
>>724487119yeah it's boring to you because you're not mashing buttons every second. So you're agreeing with him.Are you retarded? Or too big of a baby to admit you're an idiot?
>>724487257>Almost 14 years ago was it implemented.no.... no way............
rs3 finally removing mtx?ITS LIKE PUTTING OUT A FIRE WHEN THE HOUSE HAS ALREADY BURNED DOWN LMAO
Jagex finally called the fire department 13 years later lol
>>724486632If this passes I might just play again
>>724486632>we're le taking back our le gameNot buying it. They're only offering to remove TH because it suits them, not anyone else.
>jagex had mtx removal poll>1/3rd of rs3 players want the mtx to stayhow did we get here?
>>724489954whales who barely play the game, same type of players who play gacha that actually spend money on it
Currently grinding ardy knights. Level 90 thieving. Its chill enough to watch some Halloween movies on the other monitor.
im ngl I actually play rs3 but I kind of want it to die out of spite.I will switch to osrs just let rs3 die already
>>724489251ThisThey did that with the Squeal of Fortune with the poll to kill YelpsSurprise surprise, Treasure Hunter came out nextNever trust JagexAlways make sure to tell them how garbage their MTX are
>>724489954People who couldn't tolerate MTX stopped playing more than a decade ago, this is the surviving population
>>724487836I never said I didn't play lots of hours to the game, but the concept unto itself can only appeal to an easily obsessive autist, if you're not able to become retardedly obsessed with something, you won't play the game for long.
>>724469394The Vampyre questline is pure gold, I really hope they stick the landing with the finale in a few months. Sins of the Father is just excellent
>>724489954so they are the minoritywhat is your point?
>>724490334RNG MTX is 100% dead for foreseeable future. Not out of Jagex's goodwill ofc but due to EU regulations
>>724451047Runescape was never good.MMOs are for faggots.
>>724491353They will find another way to screw usI just know it
>>724475558It's actually crazy how only the boomers in my group hate on the game. And when I show them corrupted gauntlet or 500 TOA they call it zoomer gameplay
>>724451047It's only good if you want to play an mmo and chill. The end game content with prayer switching and shit is so fucking garbage. I started playing again, found out that the end game content is nothing but prayer switching and downloaded a script for it the next second.. nobody got time to learn that scuffed ass shit
>>724491039it's still 1 in 3 players, it should've never got that high to begin with
>>724493369it's just survivorship bias, after 10 years most players who hated MTX are long gone
>>724493369Non whales eventually got disgusted with the MTX and leftWhales remain and deeply care about (You) being forced to see their horrendous characters equiped with the ugliest cosmetics possible
>>724456965He's here, it's the anon with gays in his mind daily
look if you want the perspective of someone who has been playing rs since 2009 off and on...runescape is simply not a game you take seriously. it is inherently a 2nd monitor game and it is best kept that way except for when you absolutely need to make it a "main game" ie questing, pvm, etc. if you only play runescape you will lowkey go kinda crazy cause its one of the grindiest games ever made.
>>724481892Im playing a year-locked ironmeme account and I got ranger boots in like 7 chests lol
>oh, you made it through this 13 segment light beam puzzle with constantly respawning enemies hitting you the entire time?>now do a 20 part fetch questdeath, death to all short beards and british game devs
I like treasure hunter.
>>724495729Filtered by the temple of light, you love to see it
>>724495729The quest was designed by 2 drunk jmods in one evening.
>>724451047>jagex removes mtx>all of the iron men who struggled purely to avoid the taint of mtx now have no point to exist anymoreyou have stockholm syndrome laced with battered wife syndrome if you keep playing rs after thisjagex aren't loyal to anyone, paying "customers" or dedicated "fans" bothjust play black grimoire
>>724487257you think the game will be fixed after whoring itself out for 14 years?this is like your school crush going to college and riding the cock carousel for 14 years and then coming back to your home town at 30+ with a little niglet ready to settle down with that nice guy from schooldon't be a cuck you're better than that
>>724487815time for osrs2 reset rs3 back to before squeal or eoc, whatever came first
>>724495729Or you can do like 30 minutes of GOTR
>>724498969Need it to complete the quest, if you're an iron you have to do the task list or kill dark beasts (85 + pie/90 slayer req)
>>724499198guardians of the rift drops a talisman for it, ironmen skip doing the list smd instead just do a few hours of the mini game
>>724467716its too complicated for the average gamer. and Runescape players dont want in-depth or attention-requiring activities. they want to thoroughly afk and not even have to look at their screen as they watch TV and listen to a podcast
>>724499406Post your hm tob kc lil bro
>>724499198I knew it couldn't drop. I didn't know you couldn't buy it. I skipped it with a catalytic talisman.
>>724486632>damage is doneSo what, you're just going to vote NO anyway like a retard?>it would improve the game, but it was bad ten years ago. so no, dont improve it.
I never understood why jagex was so aggressively unhelpful when it comes to account issues, there is a venom that I haven't seen from anyone else
>>724499639>british peoplewhen have they ever been helpful
>>724499760yeah I guess you're right idk wtf what I was thinking
>>724499639combination of 99% of appeals being done by goldsellers/buyers and some corrupt jmods in the past
>>724454358You gotta train 90% of the skills in this game AFK to not go insane past level 40-50s. Get runelite, go to settings --> Idle notifier. It will send your desktop a notification when your character finishes doing X activity like fishing or woodcutting. Alt tab and shift drop and do something else. For combat you can AFK up to 10 minutes in aggressive areas or longer depending. That's also setting in runelite make sure to change logout timer --> 10-25 minutes otherwise you'll get logged out after 5 minutes. Also this AFKscape only really works on PC. Mobile client always logs you out after 5 mins.
>>724499928>not doing quests for early levels
>>724499928if you cant even cope with getting to lvl 70 grindwise in every skill runescape is not the game for you
>>724500187>watch your bald guy with a green shirt chop wood for 20 hoursNo.
>>724499928>go insane past level 40-50slol
>>72450026770 takes 740k xp99 takes 13 million70 is not a grind whatsoever, also do your quests
>>724500267Bro talk a walk, cook some dinner, clean your room, he’s not going to cut faster if you just stare at him (unless your autism 3 tick maxing)
This exp curve is so fucking ridiculous. It's the only thing holding OSRS from a 9/10 game to 11/10>The Gower Brothers set the cap to 99 as they didn't think that anyone else would max in a skill.
>>724497225>he doesnt know about rs3 vs osrs Smh
>>724500734It was ridiculous in the early 2000s with modern internet and information dissemination it’s really not that bad. Most skills only start to feel it at 85+. You gotta remember every level is permanent, 99 is the max. It’s not like some other mmo that’s going to come out and add new levels.
>>724500734most content requirements end at 90 which is roughly around 5m xpeverything else is just for autists
>>724500734Nobody's forcing you to max
>>724500994The difference in DPS on pure nhing with 80s vs 99s is insane. Actually you can't even win basically unless the person with higher levels is retarded. 80 str/mage/range feels like SHIT.90/94/90 only BARELY works on meds because of augury/rigor so thank god they fucking released those at least.
>>724501251Actually even then you can't get the max heal from sara brews if you aren't 99 HP. You basically have to have max combats to PK and not get shit on
>>724501324>pkWhy bother it's half bots and the other half is 95% ahk scriptkiddies
>>724501251>PKingWell yeah, what did you expect? Even for pvm stuff you'd probably want your combats as high as possible to give yourself an edge. Suck it up and go hit the gemstone crab or something. Or make an account that'll fit in a lower combat level bracket.
>>724501425Well I can't speak to how it is right now. But a few years ago shit was popping.
>>724501324why would you even interface with (wildy) pking? the entire area is fucked with camera bots and armies of bots at revenants
>>724501251Pvp is gay and cringe
>>724469394One thing that I did like about Runescape (haven't played it since the mid 2000s tho) is that the quests actually felt like quests. They were hard, required prep, and had complex and unique objectives and cool rewards. I struggled with them sometimes when I played but that was probably because I was a literal child, not even a teenager.
>he uses runelite
>>724501251>pvp
>>724500734You should see the Brighter Shores XP curve (levels cap at 500 with 2 billion XP, but every level from 200-500 takes the same amount of time because XP just scales constantly)
>>724501608I used to PK at black chins and altar. That shit was pretty fun. Revs is awful.>>724501638>>724501697The people who really grew up with RS2 in 2007 know that pking was the peak of what the game had to offer. Runescape is basically a gangster simulator, you can catch someone lacking in the wilderness and make them run their shit. They might call their team, you guys might have to just fight to the death with freeze spells. KINO
>>724500734You have the vast majority of value from most skills by Level 80, and every one can be boosted by at least 5 levels to get valuable upgrades sooner without having to wait to grind them out. You can effectively max out your house by boosting from 83 Construction, for example.Going all the way to 99 is basically never a priority goal that you should feel like you need to have done. There are a few skillcapes with very useful perks but even these are mostly just conveniences giving you a marginal benefit over much more accessible options.
>>724501686Well I'm not running Windows if that's the alternative.
>>724451047i kek'd
>>724501686>normal client now has by default some if not most of shit from runelite because god forbid wanting to play "old school" runescape.

>>724463572>nature runes barely 100gp eaDamn, so is 91+ RC for double nats isn't very good money nowadays or what? How does one make money RC'ing now? I stopped playing OSRS years ago, like right before MM2 iirc and even back then it felt like they were just putting so much skilling items into the drop tables of monsters/bosses.
>>724502073That's only for mobile and the jagex launcher client, I still use the actual oldschool client that doesn't have any of the runelite shit in it.
I just started playing OSRS a few days ago and I've pretty much just been chaining quests together with very little grind. Have finished 60 out of the 174 quests and I'm having a lot of fun. Runescape is probably the only big MMO where quests feel like actual quests. SWTOR comes close but that's more because it benefits from much greater production values, and not so much because the actual quests are great. If you take away the voice acting and player dialog menu, I don't think people would praise SWTOR as much as they currently do for the class / planet quest arcs. If you like RPGs I really don't see why you wouldn't at least try to give the game a shot and see how many quests you can experience before you start needing to really grind out prereq stats.
>>724499928>going this much out of your way to not actually play the gamelol
>>724502296meta is bloods or wraths for money but as you said, bosses shit out so many runes that profits have gone down immensely
>ban buyers for RWT gold>now bonds are 15m>you can't sustain a bond unless you're either a max level pvmer or actual unemployedmaxxerBOOO
>>724502793Its worse in RS3, bonds used to be like 20m, now they cost 160m each.
>>724502393You don’t know what the game actually is
>>724502296You can buy all runes but wraths and new combination ones, so yeah, but RC is still one of the best skilling money makers (still ohly half as profitable as doing basic combat, like zulrah or vorkath)
https://youtu.be/kIcQXTx7fyg?si=ij9L6T8WKHUOvWB5>just play on 4 accounts at once for 2 weeks straight broo
>>724502296Double nature runes is still one of the best skilling moneymakers in the game. Wiki says 2.7m/hr, but you need like base 90s for the Achievement Diary cape for max efficiency.You can still get like 2m/hr from other high-level Runecrafting like just doing blood runes, there might be a ton coming into the game from PvM and GotR and bots but they're still always going to be in demand and nobody wants to actually do Runecrafting
>>724503034You could just play the game normally you know
Guys, realistically if I play runescape private servers I'll get hijacked right?I wanna play 2004scape, but I don't even trust that one to be honest.
>>724503389runescape does not attract normal people>tens of thousands of gambling addicts>recovering drug addicts>autism and ADHD players
>>724503545https://youtu.be/doxK0hytm2g?si=Yy8qI2AgPClW9m3-
>>724467716There are many things wrong with EoC.The majority of Ranged/Magic abilities are literally copy-pasted versions of each other. Ranged in particular isn't even worth using as a style until you unlock Greater Ricochet and Invention.The entire system has bugs that you're meant to accept as skill expression and totally intended mechanics like ability stalling. Yeah bro, let me use an ability on this training dummy except I don't actually resolve the cast and just hold it to unleash on a boss a minute later, very cool.Necro made bossing braindead.For the first 10 years of EoC, the ability descriptions didn't even accurately describe what they did.>>724499406You can literally Revo (automated rotation) every non-enrage boss
>>724503779>You can literally Revo (automated rotation) every non-enrage bossoh so they literally made it so you dont even have to engage with the combat? are you too stupid to realize what that actually means?and wow, every non-enrage boss. so it means nothing then
I play rs3 and even I can admit it sucks. Anyone who says it doesn't is coping
>>724499639runescape has notoriously had the worst customer support of any MMO ever made
>>724473138Because his prop was moving out of the camera.Anyone who argues against this either relies on him for income and publicity, or is a parasocial kid whos worried his idol is about to get canceled.
>>724503545Hard disagree, it’s the most normalfag mmo. It basically psyops you into becoming normal because you start to realize you can progress life while progressing in game.
>>724451047is reddit still trying to force this narrative
>>724504919the quests are kino, shut up
>>724504551>you dont even have to engage with the combat?For the majority of bosses, you can find Revo++/low input guides where they just pick up loot or press the occasional defensive and move out of the way for the big scary attack. Literally the same effort that's required for OSRS combat.Prayer flicking isn't even needed at most bosses because you can camp Soul Split or rotate defensives. Necro giving everyone Darkness is just a free 20% damage reduction. Before that, it was Animate Dead + Cryptbloom to become effectively immortal. Also there was the period of time when Blood Reaver could be used as a crutch for infinite healing. Hellhound 20% damage reduction is just the same for a baby mode enabler.Again, at high enrage bosses you can't just AFK face tank everything but that's to be expected for content aimed at the top 1% of players. For the type of content that most players do, they are completely fine with sucking on their thumb while pressing Resonance/Devotion when the boss does a special attack.Jagex themselves said a couple years ago that the average player was at about a GWD2 level. Less than 18k players have even soloed 100% enrage Zamorak.I'm interested in the kind of person that likes RS3 combat because I've never heard anyone defend this system outside of players that have never played a different game
>>724451047Last time I logged in went to the GE and it was literally full of furfags and trannies RPing so would be inclined to say no
>>724507165That entire fort questline was a disaster, especially that god awful Raptor retcon they did. Also Moia is a shit antagonist, I wanted the quests to go back to being lighthearted whimsical adventures like in the old days, instead we now have to deal with a pmsing mahjarrat half breed who left you for dead on Iaia during the Extinction quest.
>>724451047If you play 2009scape solo with 10x experience rates it is.
>>724507740I have no idea what the hell happened to quests after the Sliske stuff.The Extinction line in particular felt rushed towards the end. Seren had a literal woman moment and Moia the girlboss somehow super succ'd her way to the top by draining a full blood mahjarrat...
>>724507165The sixth age was a mistake. Even Jagex basically admitted it considering they re-banished the gods again. Also, major questlines being concurrently available is just stupid.t. did almost all the quests during the league
>>724508163I think its implied she's being used by Xau Tak, they've been foreshadowing that thing since the Sliske quests and still haven't done anything with it. Yeah the ending of the Elder Gods quests shat the bed, besides Seren becoming a crazy cat lady it annoyed me how they had Zamorak revert back to being an edgy bad villain who just wants to literally burn the world when they actually tried to flesh him out in the previous quests like Children of Mah.

desu my membership expired when I hopped worlds to do wilderness flower event and it triggered me to the point that im not even renewing. genuinely upset meI hope rs3 dies

>>724451047RUNESCAPE
>>724475558But Runescape is literally the cookie clicker of yesteryear. Something that requires zero brainpower and you just do as a distraction, often compounted with other shit (notice how the guy in the webm is looking at another monitor)
Remember when OSRS didn't have the GE? Good times.
>>724479939Grid master.
>>724480586dunno why of all things that made me crack a smile was the obby cape
>>724499639funny because i've never had a bad encounter with their servicei was able to easily reobtain my lost account which i discovered was perma'd in a matter of a few of hours with no problem turned out it was hacked and got perma'd for botting but because the login location was different from my own, they just gave it back no problemeven got all the botted goodies, something like 300-400 mil and a bunch of trained stats i ignored
>>724514160I once got perma muted and lied to Jagex saying that my little brother went on my account and it actually worked.
>think about playing OSRS>get excited thinking about all the things I wanna do>wanna get my ironman to 83 construction, barrows gloves, etc>log in>lose all interest 20 mins in
>>724516920i returned after literal years, and within a few hours, I was right back in the exact same spot that made me quit. and then I quit again
Yes, it's better than ever
>>724463150How hard is it to setup?
As an outside RS3 looks like the better game but it's way less popular. Why is that?
>>724516920Its the great midgame ironman filterEscaping the dogshit base 40-80s content to bossing and raids takes so much effort for irons that sane people opt out. Its not even a bad thing, its >What, you didnt want to spend 50 hours at crabs and farm 500 plots of giant seaweed and get RC to 81 and herblore to 85 and do slayer like a second job and and andWhen you see an iron in inquisitors or masori you know you are looking at one of gods most unemployed creatures
>>724502356This deserves to be fp in every runescape discussion
>>724503517From personal experience private servers usually suffer from admin abuse and player favoritism so just keep that in mind when playing
>>724521970its complicatedI think the real answer comes from it just not being a very fun game.
>>724521970the entire game is balanced around dailys (daily tasks to get increased loot and xp) and microtransactionscombat also is completely different from oldschool runescape
>>724502356>60 quests>Hasn't done dragon slayerIgnoring those gay early game optimization guides probably improved your experience in ways youll never know Whats your favorite quest so far?
>>724523278>combat also is completely different from oldschool runescapeconsidering the second post in this thread >>724451181 that does not sound like a bad thing
>>724523394i understand that looking in as a newcomer it looks like ass but it becomes so much more mechanically dense the further you get in the gamefor example peep this boss fighthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgLj2PaMYE
rs3 is back boys. luckily I play a hcim so mtx was never an issue!
>>724523704if they continue stripping out the bad mtx shit i will probably start a rs3 account when i'm done in osrs
>>724523278>daily tasksNot sure if it's the same for RS3 but I've come to loathe this shit in modern video games. They figured out a way to keep assholes logging in every single day and it worked. I know people who "play" like 3 games every day where they just start them do their dailies in 20mins in each game and then logout. It's like being on probation. What happened to just playing the games when you wanted without feeling obligated to login for a tiny reward?
>>724525457it's gotten VERY bad in RS3 and the problem is that it IS worth doing them. you are being so inefficient by not doing them. it's gotten really out of hand.
>>724525457If you want an idea how bad RS3 has it right now just peep this lovecraftian horror https://dailyscape.github.io/
>>724525491yep, i remember way back when I had stopped, one of the reasons because of how often I did those dailies. it's an hour or two, which admittedly isn't much in the grand scheme of things. But every fucking day and you don't have 8 hours to play vidya anymore, so you spend half the time to do shit you don't want to do. It's one of the things they're going to fix after removing TH, but who knows when that'll be.just boost earned exp for the slower skills by like x2 or x3.
>>724525959its gotten way worse with HOURLY wilderness events so now you are guaranteed missing a shit ton of xp a day its so dumb
>>724525901DESU that shit isn't even that bad outside of dailiesthe real chore is the hourly wilderness events it really can't be overstated
>>724526060Never heard of it, but if its somehow worse, then what the fuckOn one hand, I like that we have these events since the worlds are as empty as they are, they all gather around and makes it feel like it used to so many years ago. Engage with the community and all that. And everybody has a different schedule, right? But then... it's just too fucking much>>724526304from what I remember, a lot of those are things you can easily ignore or isn't something you have to worry about as a timer. I didnt want to say anything since I figured my info was very out of date
>>7245219701) Microtransactions2) A long history of pushing unpopular updates that fundamentally changed the game and alienated its audience, such as microtransactions3) 25 years of content bloat and drift, power creep, inflation, and a general lack of foresight, long-term planning or concern for the health of the gameOld School was created in response to RuneScape hemorrhaging players following the deeply unpopular "Evolution of Combat" update and shortly ahead of the launch of "RuneScape 3," both of which changed the game so drastically that it became almost unrecognizable. While it initially stagnated with a small but devoted playerbase and a skeleton crew of devs with very few resources to develop the game, once the Grand Exchange was added it immediately matched RS3's playercount and never looked back.The simplest explanation for why OSRS is more successful is that its developers and playerbase has learned from RS3's mistakes. All content updates must pass a poll with a 70% majority to be implemented. The overall philosophy has been about improving the existing game and expanding on it, rather than building it higher or trying to replace it altogether.>>724523394Would you rather click a mob, let your character fight it for 10 seconds and then click the next mob, or would you prefer to click a mob and have to manage a full rotation bar of abilities to do the same amount of damage you were doing before, and keep doing that for 1000 hours of grinding? Because that's what Evolution of Combat did.
>>724451181SOVL
>>724451047What went wrong? To me, I think no mobile port at launch and even now was a bad decision, I wouldn't mind booting this up on my phone to reset the offline training that you can do.
>>724527069released too early
>>724525901>Miscellania still makes moneyextremely based
>>724526624A few other things that has OSRS with a much higher player count. Bots and gold farmers make up a huge chunk of OSRS player base. OSRS Mobile is in a much better way. The UI of RS3 is overwhelming and can be very confusing. You don't need to be active, it's very afk-able. Not many content creators/Streamers for RS3 either, especially compared to OSRS. At the core, they're both good games since they're effectively the same game. But every single problem Runescape has had is still there in RS3. There's still good things unique to RS3 in my eyes, and after playing Leagues, I'll definitely hang up OSRS after they remove Treasure Hunter.
>>724527069Only being able to use skills in particular chapters is a monumentally stupid decision and I will never play this game because they devs thought of such a bad idea.
I haven't played RS since like 2005 but does anyone have a webm of that guy who had the super rare necklace drop and in disbelief didn't immediately pick it up and then some nearby person who was like "wow grats" ninja'd it from him?
>>724468842I started playing Shining Force 1 this week and you are correct. Low numbers make a better game, this is a fact of reality. Once damage numbers go above the tens into the hundreds the game is no longer good, period.
>>724451047If FF XIV ever wants to stop dying and be popular again they should copy OSRS instead of (((WoW))).
>>724488545remember when they were going to remove mtx by removing squeal of fortune only to introduce trasure hunter right after?yeah they're going to introduce something similar to replace th guaranteed
>>724451047>goodIt was a dumping ground for little brothers after them shitting up your UO guild stopped being cute
>>724527085I feels like it's Runescape Classic instead of Old School Runescape. Brighter Shores 2 might actually be pretty great in 20 years.
>>724508291>re-banished the gods againwow that's great now do the same with the old gods and stop with the chosen one bullshit, it's getting really old
>>724501845this anon is right the pvp is the soul of rs and once it went the game turned to shit with no end goal really the game lost its edgyness
