>functionality will become completely free for all paid memberskek
>>731138248>they copied the hueg sword meme from WoWyikes...
bonds are pay2win
>runemetrics proLMAO I didn't even know this was a thing. OSRS mobile has had this shit as a free feature for awhile now and Runelite has had it since for fucking ever
>>731138248So which is better to play as a f2p now, RuneScape or OSRS?
>>731139286Idk man probably RS3 since you can "preview" some of the members skillsOSRS is the better game by a country mile thi
>>731139024that sword has been there for like 14 years
>>731139286Wait for a few months until they rework combat and then play runescape 3
>>731139975what is rs3 combat like / what's the rework supposed to do? I dont like 50 different abilities like wow
>>731139024wait until you learn about EoC
>>731140221It's going to trim down the number of abilities and change some core mechanics like adrenaline costs (something you gain from using less powerful abilities)
>Treasure Hunter removed >Players have until the start of 2027 to use any remaining MTX items they have before they are deleted entirely >UI updated to be more old school>Cosmetics toggle option added. You hide cosmetics other people are wearing and just show whatever equipment theyre actually wearing >Graphicla overhaul to the entire F2P world including decluttering the map and making the art style unified>Runemetrics becoming free >Auras will be removed and their benefits will be redistributed into the game itself >Runelite plugin system in development for RS3 >Dailies and timegated stuff will be changed/removed Will you play it now?
>>731138248BasedI asked for thisI voted for thisBond prices are already going down.
>>731140221They are going to make it closer to necromancy that has less skills but each skill does more things and has better synergy with one another or with what you want to do.
>>731140617Already returned to burn all my proteans and get as many keys from the Christmas event to push some skills as fast as I could before they were removed. Got a few million xp in some skills and speedrun necro that i just started then. Already lv 102 and i started the 15th of december
>>731140617i most recently stopped playing because bond prices went way up
>still on jew`z bankroll to shill mental illnesses https://youtu.be/5Q73i-BAFW8?t=303lmfao fagex deranged cunts
>>731138248we are so fucking back rs3 chads
>>731139286OSRS is visually coherent, high quality, and the community are able to veto bad updates (which happens regularly).
IDK if this is enough to fix RS3, mixing sixth and fifth age settings is just really bad for the sense of world building
>>731142258its basically back to 5th age now, gods have kyssed
>>731142602Sure but chronilogically its not, hard to care about fighting Zamorak troops after you sent him packing 1v1
>>731140617this all sounds good but it just feels too late theres just better shit to play than runescape now
>>731138248>no more auras>combat rebalance>mtx removal>daily reductionwtf I guess I will get back into rs3
>>731140617>Graphicla overhaul to the entire F2P world including decluttering the map and making the art style unifiedHow many times have they done this by now?Meanwhile you can still like, go to the fishing guild and look at textures that are 25 years old.
>Introduction of a 'basic attack'This is the part that blew my mind when I played a few years ago. The fact that 2hs are just as fast as a whip/scimmy is retarded
>>731143254that basic attack isnt what you think it is, its simply a filler when theres no other better abilities to use that was introduced with necromancy, and the reason scimmies and 2hs attack at the same rate because the game has a global cooldown of 2.4 seconds after using any ability. instead of dealing different damage they have different abilities
Wasn't RS3 skilling made with p2w in mind? Wouldn't the XP curve/rates have to be changed as well?
new ui looks like trash can't even make it blue and the clock is now forced to be on the map. overall the update is good, but god i hate the new ui and the new runescape logo looks stupid too.
>>731140617Okay, I am going to check out now. Currently max with 707 collection item in osrs. What should be my first goal in rs3? Also im using the same item and playing a normal account since mtx is gone
>>731138248is t92 kopesh easier to get than drygore's on ironman?
>>731143905all the steps involved are easier but it takes no joke like 100 times as long, just learn to solo kalphite king
>>731143139Theyve been doing the area graphical overhauls since 2020 and with the same environmental artist in charge of it the entire time
>>731141637>OSRS is visually coherentthe newer stuff is overdesigned dogshit that's incongruent with the older base of the game
>>731143905Grinding to 115 Slayer and killing Abyssal Lords for the Abyssal Whip 2 is faster than grinding out a Khopesh
>>731144061already tried and died 20 times, managed to get like 6 kills and lost motivation to do more
>>731144302alternatively arch glacor drops t85 which is "good enough" that you can then upgrade to t95 once you practise the boss a little, and for yet another alternative there is the t92 abyssal scourge for main-hand only as other anon mentioned
>>731144240you're comparing a jungle to a cave you troglodyte
>>731138248Cool but hasn't the damage already been done? People have had 10+ years to engage in P2W mtx.
Will I enjoy this game if I enjoy OSRS?
>>731141637>veto bad updatesvote for bad updates*
>>731144537most likely if you treat it as a new game
>>731144425>you're comparing a jungle to-ACK
>>731140617Too late because countless players used the MTX to keep 99's and 120's.
>>731140617NOT YETI am more optimistic than I have been in a long time, though. If they deliver on even half of that it'll be more than they've done for the game in the last decade.
>>731144610great bait im literally logging in and taking cherry picked screenshots just to call you a niggerfaggot
>>731143472That's what the balancing updates listed on the roadmap are for.
>>731138248I feel bad because I'm a member and I have voting power for this but it's still lower on my followup queue than WoW or FFXIV, and I'm months of progress on my Ironman roadmap away from having the luxury to try anything else anyway
>>731145034>voting poweraint nobody voting for shit
>>731138248Grim.
>>731145102Shows how little I know about whatever the fuck is going on with these guys. I just clicked the big "NO" button for Treasure Hunter when I was prompted
>>731138248They need to remove EOC too and release perm fresh servers.Everyone running around with all 99's and EOC sucks.
>>731145168>the only ethnic woman is the best looking onewtf
honestly rs3 is just okay. this massive blog post doesnt make me particularly exicted or anything. its still a massive chore to play and very soulless. is osrs better? only a bit. even osrs is soulless now.
Why does a web browser game cost as much as a wow/ffxiv sub?
>>731145361because its better than wow. simple as.
>>731145226Mod dragon is a semen demon
>>731145361>mfw havent played for a sub since 2009 or whenever bonds originally came outle mayo
>>731140617>>Cosmetics toggle option added. You hide cosmetics other people are wearing and just show whatever equipment theyre actually wearingBut Mod Mic(rotransactions) said that would be too drab so it can't be done.
>>731140617>Will you play it now?Slowly getting me back into it, need to see implementation.
>>731145168I just see a bunch of people. Am I missing something or are you just a shitty human being?
I quit two years ago after they defiled Easter with a tranny title. I would only consider coming back if they removed that, desu.
>>731145779>only 1 person of colourLet me guess, you voted for Trump?
i cannot stress how bad this new ui is holy shit. how did they make it even worse. FUCKgood update besides this.
>tune into a random rs stream>see this Think i'll stick with osrs
>>731146212they still have legacy hud mode but they axed the classic 800x600 fixed resolution layout
>>731146212rs3 endgame is such kino, too bad its buried under mountains of shit
As far as “New” Content goes the big one is the continent Havenhythe which is supposed to be RS3’s version of Zeah. Theyre lifting or even adding a bunch of OSRS content too like birdhouses, black chinchompas, early game hill giant boss so theyre pandering
>>731146563yeah lets just forget that fucking sliske is in osrsboth games borrow from each other
haven't played RS3 in years so I'm curious to ask current players, are you afraid of the combat changes?at least from what I've heard of late game players, they really enjoyed all the combat depth, and necromancy was kinda hated because it was simpler and way too good, so shoehorning other combat styles to be like that doesn't sound like the greatest ideaalso watching the new content stuff they mentioned a new early game boss to teach prayer flicking? what? is that really a thing in RS3? I thought it was more of a OSRS sort of thing, idk, I get that the there were some misteps but turning RS3 into OSRS doesn't sound ideal eitheranyways I could be completely off base too so I'd love to hear any long time players opinion on this
>>731146672Sliske was great even if he became overused. RS3 really does have great quests it's just everything else around it became shit.
>>731146882>are you afraid of the combat changes?I'm not really playing the game until combat changes, I've endgame iron but I've never played full manual so less abilities is just good imo, maybe that'll get me into full manual>necromancy was kinda hated because it was simpler and way too goodThe launch made combat a mess for a good 6 months+ but as of right now necromancy offers the lowest DPS while being the easiest to use, it's meant for noobs>teach prayer flicking? what? is that really a thing in RS3?Nearly every harder boss requires for you to pay attention and switch prayers accordingly, this isn't new, there also is another boss with a mechanic that's supposed to teach you pray flicking called arch-glacor
>>731146882> also watching the new content stuff they mentioned a new early game boss to teach prayer flicking? what? is that really a thing in RS3? I thought it was more of a OSRS sort of thing, idk, I get that the there were some misteps but turning RS3 into OSRS doesn't sound ideal eitherPrayer flicking has been in RS3 for ages its essential to most bosses and is less cumbersome to use since you can assign individual prayers to hotkey.
the biggest issue with rs3 is the "players"if you are keen on playing this game you need to turn off all chats. not joking. it's that bad.
>>731138248not giving these fags a cent after the playerbase voted they didn't want any fag week shit in the game and did it anyway
>>731145168>99% white>1 black person looks like made BWC mate, you not even trying
>>731148096>plays an mmo with no player interactionmaybe play a single player game?
>>731148556i mean....the game itself is fine...its the players that are the problem.
Alright I actually started playing.All the menus are annoying, it's kinda laggy and slow and loads like shit, and I can't tell how the combat actually works.But other than that it's fine.
>>731148712rs3 is a good game and the lag u feel is a design feature. the game runs on 0.6 second ticks which is very very slow in comparison to modern games.but trust me you don't actually want a faster tick rate. i've played private servers that have made the tick rate 0.3 seconds and it fucks the entire game up. makes it feel uncanny and soulless.
>>731138248osrs econ is dead and most players are botsi just play to kill time desu
>>731138248Millions of players have already gotten their Treasure Hunter max capes. This is pointless unless they start fresh with new worlds.
>>731148602its a learning to code project in javascript that has leaked several timesmake your own single player scape, you can literally just steal the whole thing as long as you arent sharing
This is what you'll encounter if you play RS3. Be warned.
>>731149037while ur not wrong rs3 is an easy game even without mtx so honestly who fucking cares. splitting the community actually is a terrible fucking move and seen when leagues happened last fall. wilderness events were failing constantly because everyone was on leagues.
>>731149097>*disables cosmetics*nothing personnel chud
>>731149104Rs3 was not balanced around the EOC so most of its early quests are piss easy
>>731149097
>>731149190
>>731149037The real prestige and grind is in the Completionist series of capes.
>>731149045It is not in Javascript. Java is unrelated to Javascript, the naming is just retarded.
>>731149281
>>731145841Don't use the title?
did they remove skilling stationsbecause that was the lamest thing, best xp rates for most skills involved sitting at a banklike at least make it so they have to be set-up in a specific, themed area, sheesh
>>731149403ye or i think maybe you can still use them if you have them? but cant obtain more
What's the point of making it "more like OSRS"? Just reassign all resources to develop OSRS as the main game on the new HD engine they're making. Problem solved. It doesn't have an economy ruined by stupid whales or people who've paid for 99s.
>>731149549Literally nobody said they're making it more like osrs
they teamed me
the game is literally better than osrs. like miles better.
>>731149549they should merge development, but also keep the accounts separatelike two superworlds, universes perhaps
>>731149037This. The damage has already been done and the management can't seem to grasp this concept. They're literally just pulling up the ladder for new players while everyone who has already maxed probably fucked off to OSRS. Unless they want to make permanent fresh start worlds I don't see what they're accomplishing by removing buyable exp.
>ossecondaries clutching pearls over max capehilarious
>>731149549>>731149807RS4 coming soonthird person VRcontains all cancelled spinoffs and modes as minigamesowned and controlled by tencent
>>731149887again, rs3 is extremely easy even without mtx. actually having to play the game now is based and a good move overall. "b-but everyone else skipped the game with treasure hunter!"did YOU want to skip the game with treasure hunter? if you did, why even play?
Let me login to both Rs3 and OSRS on the same character.Leagues 2 is coming to Rs3. If I can comfy afk vale totems on my UIM while playing Leagues 2 I will.
>>731150005>Let me login to both Rs3 and OSRS on the same character.Other than removing mtx, this is probably the single biggest thing rs3 could do to get more players coming in. I have no idea why they haven't done it already.
>>731149097>>731149190>>731149281>>731149362DAMN, I’m making an account right now!
>>731141320>zoomers born post 2000 genuinely cannot see rainbows without thinking of pozzed faggotryBack in 2006 everyone had the rainbow boots in runescape. Zero connotation to gay shit at the time, people just liked colours and rainbows.I'm not even going to insult you, I feel genuinely sorry that you missed out and have your brain fucked
>>731150141i mean not all of us want to be "skids"do you have any idea how boring it is to play multiple runescape characters at once?
>>731150003You literally didn't need to buy spins for TH back in the day. Just get spins from dailies and then convert everything that wasn't exp into oddments and buy pulse cores from the shop. You'd get millions of free exp for just loggin in everyday. Now, decades after the fact, they're just like "Alright we've removed buyable exp, you're welcome" as if that is somehow going to undo all the damage. It's not going to bring people back.
>>731145168>mostly white menGood.
>>731150229wanting to skip the game is cringe so idc
>noooo it's too late everyone has already used it things will never go back to normal :((These are the same people who fall for FOMO btw
>>731150557i mean fomo is a major issue in rs3 but they are even going to remove wildy events possibly which is lowkey a good thing even if people dont get that yet
>Play OSRS>Everyone is shitting about and talking>Play RS3>Nobody talksExplain this.
>>731150784nobody talks in osrs eithert. has actually played both
>>731150739Good, remove that piece of shit and redistribute the onyx core somewhere sane
>>731150784aside from afk methods like Wintertodt and the like, osrs is just as quiet. you can still find people talking if you go to certain areas in either game regardless
>>731138248The roadmap seems very promising for RS3 unironically. I still do not like where they're at with game balance though, the economy is turbo fucked and there are barely any good bosses worth doing.
these new rs3 quests are kinda fun. went undeground to kill a cult of zamorakian scums and i had a choice to either let them live or die. i let them live. the old woman is sus thou
>>731150959>barely any good bosses worth doing2449 telos/2k zamorak/2k amaspussy, what else do you need
