You!Yes, you anon!Post your OSRS levels right NOW!
i don't know what that ishere's the endless from halo infinite
>>735080386I uninstalled the jagex launcher a few months ago, so I just screenshotted the hiscore pageI mained a UIM, quit shortly after maxing. Realized that the grind was what I really enjoyed all along, and the endgame PvM I had looked forward to was incredibly tedious (150 hours of doom, 100 hours of CG, 1000 hours of CoX, 150 of Yama...)
>>735081046>I mained a UIMGet the fuck out of my thread you sick, disgusting freak!>and the endgame PvM I had looked forward to was incredibly tedious (150 hours of doom, 100 hours of CG, 1000 hours of CoX, 150 of Yama...)I'm bot doing endgame PvM yet, but I'm close, and already getting the sense that the journey was more enjoyable than the destination.
>>735081254>I'm bot*notkekTalk about a Freudian slip (I've never botted, swear on me mum)
>>735080386never got into osrs, have an ugly comfy picture of edgeville instead.
>>735080386pic related is my Iron from just before I took a break from playing OSRS in general. And I know it is time for me to enter the Red Prison. Seems like Sailing was a massive flop, was it just because the rewards were giga terrible?
>>735080386I gotta get back to afking salvaging or I'm never gonna finish that 99.>>735081046>Maxed UIMBased autist.
>>735081364oops forgot attach
>>735081364>Seems like Sailing was a massive flop, was it just because the rewards were giga terrible?Pretty much. Not only are the rewards mega grindy, but they're only useful for sailing. It's very self contained. I will say that it has massive potential if Jagex manages to drag it out of the dumpster fire state its in.Sailing bosses could be incredible if they fix the combat.
sailing is ass
>>735081364>was it just because the rewards were giga terrible?Only if you grinded out water agility like an autist, I have to have gotten well over 10 mil alching everything I've salvaged and I'm not even done yet.
almost out of the mines
>>735081305I have terminal autism so I'll probably come back to the game eventually, and now that I've gotten the UIM thing out of my system I'll likely play a regular ironman like a somewhat normal personMight actually enjoy PvM then. I like the UIM inventory tetris shenanigans for skilling, but for PvM it just made everything stupidly slow and I am not good enough to do everything with far less (and usually shittier) supplies>>735081364>SailingIt had absolutely zero impact on the rest of the game, it's basically entirely self-contained outside of the new food types it introduced (eg 24 healing Marlins (vs the previous max of 22 hp foods, but anglers also overhealed)).No new meta locations, no new BiS items, you just did your sailing and then forgot the skill existed. Nowhere you'd want to routinely sail either, your boat collects dust post-99 too
>>735081661I'd also add for Sailing that it's super retarded to put in the Dragon-level boat upgrades that quite literally don't have any uses while they are extremely tedious or expensive to get.
>>735081661Sailing's issues (and most of OSRS's recent issues the last few years) really seem to stem from Jagex's insane fear of powercreep. The community seems to be ok with increasing player power with new endgame equipment but Jagex doesn't want to add new shit that isn't just another boring ass side grade.
>>735081416nice
Ever since I got membership it feels like the weight of those numbers all lost meaning and significance.
>>735081835That stems from the retarded notion that RS is a horizontal MMO, that certain retards keep pushing.It isn't, and never was anything other than vertical.
Not posting my usernametotal level is 2042, ironmemeI am on a break though, got bowfa and now have so many boss grinds in a row that i kinda burned out.
I have a main and a gim between 1700-1800 total but the main is permanent muted and the google account for the gim was disabled so I have a fresh f2p hcim
>>735080386Guess what kind of dumb account this is
>>735081661The entire skills impact on the rest of the game is pretty much just a kinda useful hunter offhand, zombie axe but stab, and theoretically high volume fishing. It might be more useful for ironmen than mains since I've been using salvage to do Giants Foundry
>>735082036I haven't played F2P for so long that I forgot that certain skills are members only.Took me a minute.
>>735081835>Jagex's insane fear of powercreepI kind of like upgradescape, keeping the original BiS items and their grinds relevant is neat. But I kind of hate Jagex's obsession with sidegrades in recent years though, they've been making the most niche shit imaginable that's useful at like 1 boss. I don't want to grind that crap out. Give me my "near universally good" items
>Membership price goes up>Okay, the price of bonds has to go up to 20 mil for sure>Buy bond for 14.5 mil, no questions asked>Days later buy another one for 13.9 mil>Forget the 20 mil, we ain't even reaching the 16 mil high we had like a month agoI just don't understand and will never understand how markets work.
>>735080386ironman btwhavent played in a few months since hydra burnt me out and sailing wasnt interesting enough to keep me aroundill probably end up eating a few bonds for the league / vampyre shit later this year or whenever i start to crave solo cox againi genuinely believe that if you stop playing for a few months you have a higher chance of hitting a rare drop when you come back and i will be using that to get a dex or a tbow
>>735082107>zombie axe but stabThat thing was funny. Objectively much, much harder to obtain than the axe (slayer task only, slayer + sailing level locked, low droprate from a boss), and it's slightly worse.>high volume fishingI think this is the biggest impact, which is also funny because trawling was by far the part of sailing most people did the least of (shit xp, incredibly high reqs, you probably want a BiS boat which takes 150+ hours)
Okay
>>735082854>genuinely believe that if you stop playing for a few months you have a higher chance of hitting a rare drop
>>735080386
>>735082205 based but you're literally describing the good old days and not “upgradescape.”Back then new BiS actually *replaced* old shit. Whip -> tent -> rapier/scythe. Ahrim's -> ancestrals. D boots -> prims. Clean, simple, brain off: number bigger = happy chemical.What we get now is:>+2 stab accuracy if target is undead, below 50% hp, on a Tuesday, while standing on a boat No one wants to grind 40 hours for an item you only dust off once every 3 months for a CA task. If you're gonna make me no-life a drop rate calculator, at least let the reward feel universally good. I want items I’m excited to put on, not spreadsheet gear I have to justify.Sidegrades are fine occasionally. When everything is a sidegrade, nothing feels like progression.
My first 99 was mining, this was before they made it AFK with good XP. Then I went for 99 Agility, then 99 Smithing, then 99 Thieving via the one click method. After all that I realized this game takes wayy too much fucking time and I'd never be able to play other shit I wanted to play. I even remember talking to that gnome youtuber guy and I asked him do you like any other games and he was like "what other games? I can only play runescape". Shit is grim.
>>735080386I only play leagues so I guess it's 1 for all of them and 10 for hp
>>735083556Nigga u weak
>>735080386what is the appeal of OSRS? it just looks like mindless grinding to me
>>735082854>i genuinely believe that if you stop playing for a few months you have a higher chance of hitting a rare dropThey almost certainly don't manipulate rng, but I could almost believe it. Streamer luck has to be real, and both times I've returned after a long break I've gotten a pet the same day.I think it was Nexon who actually did that stuff with Maplestory, and that was in like 2004, they were trailblazers. You'd get secret rng boosts after buying mtx, and progressively worse rng after grinding all day, just little tricks to get you to want to spend money again.
No bully please.
>>735083661That is the appeal, a simple game to faff around with when doing other shit, play every now and then to do some mindless task just because some people enjoy that. Also there is combat stuff but you need to do quite a bit of grinding for that to really be an option.
>>735082987I'm not really sure why they didn't just copy the stats from zaxe over but shuffle the attack values. Nobody was clamoring for a slightly weaker zaxe with different styles and defensive bonuses.As far as trawling you don't really need much more than a camphor/adamant boat unless you intend to optimize the higher level shoals, but there's not really any upside to it aside from volume and a couple of the side effects. Its all higher level requirements, and the xp from it is bad compared to normal fishing. Maybe if instead of all new fish you got the option to get old ones at higher rates but lower xp it would be more useful, as well as making trawling nets available earlier
I haven't played in like 8 years but all my stats are over 60 and my only 99 is agility which I grinded out first thing when I started playing because I knew I'd never get it done otherwise. I stopped playing when every other update was slayer related and that one slayer dungeon was like half the size of the world map because the devs are retards.
>>7350836142000 hours is already too much to spend on one game. I got other shit to play. Not going to say I don't feel the itch to fire it up from time to time, the game is quite addictive and comfy, but then I look at my pile of PS1 and PS2 games and I step back.
>>735083796>a simple game to faff around withIt is that, for a very long time. But once you start doing content where it actually pays off to learn mechanics beyond simple lazy flicking prayers, you realize how (unintentionally) complex the game is. The skill ceiling for PvP is fucking insane.
>>735083685that can't be fucking legal
>>735080475>here's the endless from halo infinitePedophile behaviour.
>>735083893nta but I'm such a clicklet, can't do bosses for the life of me. I beat Jad after like 15 tries or something.
>>735080386Started playing 4 months ago
>>735083661OSRS has the best sense of progression in any MMO, every grind feels like it's getting you somewhere. Unlocking something cool and progressing your account.The quests are also the most unique of any MMO.It's at its best as a side-thing, not the main focus. It's satisfying leveling up and making progress while you binge watch a show or something.Most grinds are fairly afk, so it's seldom the main focus. You don't just stare at the screen while chopping trees (unless you're one of those tick-manip lunatics, but that's a whole other thing to get into).
2277 and no i don't feel like going back for sailing
>>735083661>mindless grindingThat's the appeal. Keep in mind that the player base is very autistic.
>>735080386I don't know wtf that even is.
>>735084089I'm not autistic.
>>735083219Horizontal progression is almost always better than vertical so you're just a retarded fag
>>735084231Go play Guild Wars 2 you raging homosexual.
>>735084293lmao
OSOSRS when? I don't like any of the new shit
>>735084398go play lost city
>>735083747>ugly ass xBR filteringyou deserve to be bullied
>>735084293Get a load of this faggot lmfaoHow much real world money did you use to buy your stats?
>>735083989I'm sorry for you, when you kill yourself, just be sure to be the least nuisance to everyone else as you can.
>>7350843982018scape when
>>735083661The thing is OSRS grinds are pretty permanent. IE if you grind 100 hours to buy a weapon, that weapon is likely still going to be very good in like 3-4 years. Compare to WoW where gear resets every like 4 months.
>>735084484I haven't given money to gagex since bonds came out in 2013You're just some tourist who started playing with old school
>>735084293I genuinely look forward to trying RS3 again next year, their roadmap for 2026 was very impressive. I also like how their announcement for it did the whole "the game being complete shit is literally canon" thing, they're trying to pull a Realm Reborn.Near total mtx removal, rebalancing all stages of the game, and re-establishing the "RuneScape" aesthetic.But biggest of all, they plan on finally dealing with the fucking BLOAT. 25 years of content that has piled up, much of which is either shit and totally irrelevant, or shit and unfortunately necessary to engage with (eg dailies/weeklies, which they're also addressing).
>>735084774This is only true because the game barely receives any updates tho
My IM is currently as sepulchre. One day I'll do raids, probably.
>>735085134Since Sailing there has been one(1) notable update, which was a joke 5 minute long quest which was added as a tie-in for the new boss they wanted to add.... but the boss is an actual meme, a cow with literal 2 second kill times.>temporary game mode in October>cow boss in February>temporary game mode 2 in April>one new quest in Summer (they added 22 quests in 2005)>Sailing tweaks>that's apparently everything according to the roadmapI don't understand why this year is so grim.
>>735085115>a fucking RS3 trailer got 1m views in a monthRS3 is saved.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q73i-BAFW8
>>735080386Currently taking a break as Yama bored me
>>735085702Combat rework was the biggest thing here and it was kind of disappointing even if still an improvement
>>735085702
>>735085496Yeah, I've seen software in maintenance mode receive more updates than that. Unironically it feels like the game had more support when the dev team was like 4 guys.I only play leagues and I was even thinking of skipping the upcoming ones since there's been so little content added since raging echoes and grid master, and they even said that sailing was going to be disabled for some reason.
>>735085496>>735085996They're following a "seasonal" approach to the game, which is weird because OSRS has never been a seasonal MMO.They want people to come back for the ~3 big things each year (Sailing, Leagues, new Vampire quest/bosses).
>>735080386I've never played OSRS before.
>>735080386>$30 membershipLol
>>735086958...I assume you're talking about aussie dolari-doos.
>>735087270>15 bucks a month jesus fucking christ there's no way i'd play this game if it weren't for bonds
>>735087330I think it's worth the price.There's nothing else like it on the market.
Ironman btw. Made end of 2016, had multiple year+ breaks. Crazy to see nowadays Ironmen start an account and within 6 months they are where I am now, fucking ezscape.Also fuck sailing
>>735085115I managed to recover my 20 year old account about a year ago to play OSRS, and occasionally get the urge to peek back into RS3, but the last time I played it was right when eoc dropped and I decided the game was dead
>>735088251EoC was like 13 years ago, things have changed a fair bit (mostly for the worse)But most of the sins of the past decade are being addressed this year, so who knows, it might actually become good.I played in ~2014, and EoC wasn't that bad really, the game mostly kept the same click-and-wait playstyle for 99% of combat as OSRS has (the other 1% being bosses).
>>735087370lost city/2004scape is free and guaranteed to not get fucked by jagex
I really enjoyed Sailing until I finished charting all oceans and hit 87 and realized the entire skill is completely fucking pointless to the overall game
>>735080386I haven't played in about a year. Sailing discouraged me from coming back, but I've had the itch these last few weeks and then they raised the membership prices which pushed me away again even though I "pay" with bonds stockpiled on my RS3 account
>>735080386I got 99 agility and maxed on the weekend
>>735087623>ironman>fuck sailingWhat nigga
>>735091234ok but what about your stats in the game?
>>735080386Not great, but I've only played for around 350 hours, a lot of that in f2p
>>735090264So just like the rest of the skills?
>>735091234max cape is ugly, I wish it had an actual RS2 design instead of just being copy/pasted from RS3
>>735097359bro that is the default max cape from rs2/rs3 without recolours
>>735080386>OSRSNo thanks, I only play the real RuneScape.
>>735097861>negromancynot even once
>>735097359The "actual RS2 design" is literally the same as RS3 seeing as it has never changed lmao
>>735085863What actually happened with it? Did they turn the other combat styles into red/green/blue necromancy?
>>735100852Kinda but not really>combat auras removed, skill caps increased to 120 as compensation so 120 is the new 99 with zerk aura>less basic abilities, a "basic attack" for every style like necro>offensive thresholds are now all "enhanced abilities" that don't require 50% adr and have varying costs>melee got a stack like necrosis that empowers half its abilities, inflicts bleeds and burst damage (not much changed in that regard except the power level)>ranged can now move around when casting abilities including death swiftness that follows you, focus on multi-hitting>magic has multi-choice buffs (enhance the next ability you cast out of specific ones) bringing some reactivity but otherwise hasn't changed much, still focus (and now sole focus, critting doesn't give adr for melee and ranged anymore) on critsA lot of enhanced abilities have low cooldowns so revolution is kinda iffy at the moment. Basically so non-end game players have something to spam adr with without an eof
>>735080386I've been playing RSPSs instead.
>>735103542i cant imagine who plays rsps's past 2011 when wildy came back, it was the whole reason people flocked to rsps's
>>735080386But I only play RS3 because it's just better than OSRS now.
