is OSRS the most difficult game ever made?
Not even remotely close. There are so many rhythm games taking human reflex and memorization capabilities to its absolute extreme. In general I would also say that fighting games are harder.OSRS is not even the hardest MMO. That would be WoW.
prayer flicking and changing your entire gear in half a second are the most cancerous mechanics to ever exist in a videogameit also anti-multiplayer because all it does is that all other players might as well be summons who just increase your DPS, everyone is doing the same thing
>>741704385No it's not the hardest game ever because autists have done shit like inferno capes at level 3 combat, osrs has the shittiest most abusable systems in any MMO so it's easy for anyone autistic enough to do shit for hours on end against things that shouldn't be possible.
>>741704385wikislop is not hard just read nigger
>>741704385it's not even more difficult than rs3 lol
>>741704741Yea of course WoW is the hardest MMO, group content is impossible to do with 0 people playing.
>>741704385lol
>>741705556WoWkeks before unironically
>>741704385>OSRSBack in my day we just called this shit Runescape
>>741706067>jagex explicitly states that runescape is rs3 and osrs is osrs>retards call runescape osrs
It's by far the most tedious. Quests are the best in any MMO or even any RPG ever, but by fuck is the grinding bad. It's brainrot for uncs
>>741706380osrs is the only runscape that matters.
>>741704741I have a much easier time mythic raiding than I do Inferno and Colo. Though I'm just bad at being tick perfect and solving waves.
>>741706416>Quests are the best in any MMO or even any RPG everI'll never understand this NPC opinion. The quests are awful. Pure busy work. Gotta fetch garbage, which involves following vague directions, then you get to your destination and realize you needed a bunch of items that now force you to go back to the GE and buy them before continuing. In practice everyone does quests with a guide, there is no way people consider this good quest design.
>>741704385Taking time into consideration, as in how much time you have to spend on leveling, doing quests to unlock shit and getting gear for the late game raids.. probably amongst the hardest. But difficult as in the mechanics of the fights? Nah, you get used to them fast
>>741706416>questsEven the OFFICIAL CLIENT links to a quick guide so you can just get them over with and unlock the content behind them
>died three times to Jad
how many people could actually do Jad without looking up a guide?
>>741704385>jad>difficultSwitching 2 prayers while waiting for him to die, Tbow kills jad before healers even appear on the map. Nerves are the only real challenge if you're on lower budget
>>741706873name a good quest from any game then
>>741707924What is a "quest"? We're talking about MMO quests? I unironically enjoy WoW quests then. Get to a region, grab a bunch of quests, have an excuse to go explore the surroundings and kill stuff on your own terms, come back, enjoy the dopamine rush of all the rewards. That's what quest should be.
>>741708051jesus christ
>>741706380>>jagex explicitly states that runescape is rs3Jagex has called it "runescape" since 2014, twelve years ago
>>741708051I was the anon you originally replied to, I thought you had a point, but lmao, Questie is one of the most downloaded addons to WoW, isn't it? The difference between OSRS and WoW is that OSRS lets you bring your own items, so yeah, you can do the quests the traditional way, or you can buy all of the items beforehand and just enjoy the story. Most people choose the latter, cos fuck grinding, everybody who plays OSRS hates grinding, which is why they all do it on the second screen, cos they can't even look at it.
>>741707761>has tbow>gets nervous at jadput down the mums credit card bro
>>741708537How could I be if jad dies in seconds? You need to learn to read
>>741708665lmao dude you got trolled
>>741708665if you have progressed to the point where you have a tbow and jad still makes you nervous if you don't kill it in 20 ticks, you are a supreme shitter. but that's mean so i just call you rwter instead
>>741708850>I'm only pretending to be retarded
>>741709090you got trolled bro, take the loss and move on. no need to double down on it
>>741709480kys
>>741709480different anon btw
>>741704385>difficultAnon having to deal with an 2 hour slog of boring waves for a shitty inferno cape isnt "difficult"its pure autistic retardness and anyone who unironically wastes their time with that deserves the rope.I gave up on the game after realizing that this is the entire endgame and theres literally no point in even skilling or questing.
>>741707924Skyrim's quests in general (they're fun).Enderal main quest and companion quests.Baldur's gate 3 quests in general.The Witcher 3 blood and wine main quest and the one with the evil Gaunther de Meuré.Days Gone main quest (yes i did like it, the characters grow on you).there's plenty of good games with good quests everywhere.and for Runescape specifically for the RS3 version there's the excellent Zaros god questline (except the very end, since the guy that wrote it left and trannies finished it with the quality you can imagine).and for OSRS the quests are sillier but they have nice puzzles.there's the new RS3 questline with Anya too but it's too early to judge.she's the cutest and prettiest NPC in the game right now since they began reworking all the game avatars to modern standards.she also has dick sucking lips for some reason.
>>741705006>inferno capes at level 3 combatexcept you cant
>>741706873Its the only cope ostrannies have left and even that doesnt hold up. Even the new quests are all retarded busy works with awful bosses
>>741709701>specifically for the RS3 versionAfter the retarded Bandos questline not anymore.
is it possible to beat jad with melee?
>>741709997not all of us care about end game and being tick perfect, i perfectly enjoy the game with the new sailing skill coz i like riding my boat and killing stuff.i just want them to update the skill to add attackable pirate boats and other mini-adventures that takes you around the seas.if you approach runescape with just the thought of getting maxed or something, you're doing it wrong.just by setting simple objectives like do all the quests, do all the diary achievements, combat achievements, slayer skill to lvl 95, upgrading your boat to full dragon, etc... just by doing that you'll naturally lvl up, there may be times where you'll have to grind a bit for the quests but not that much, it's only true for the diary achievements (but then again you can finish some areas at 100% but ignore the annoying diaries), only combat master and grandmaster achievements require end game skill and gear.runescape is just a game you can play at your own pace, there's literally no rush and it's especially true for OSRS because old gear doesn't become useless after few updates like WOW does.old gear is still valuable and revelant.
>>741710403
>>741710403yeah and easily too, just bring a noxious halberd, it has a range of 2 so he can't hit you with melee.
>>741710579>there's literally no rushI'd 100% agree if the game wasn't subscription-based. You can't do things at your own pace, you're gated by the amount of gametime you buy. That's my only qualm with the game, it'd otherwise be pretty perfect
>>741710658my best melee weapons are fang and rapier though
>>741710873pray melee and switch to mage/range if jad does the animation, and after getting hit switch to melee pray againor just step one tile away from jad after hitting it while its doing range/mage attack
>>741706873Then you bring up WoW quests in your next post. Ironic.
>>741710839well obviously devs aren't working for free, have you seen all the content they added and the size of the map and they develop two games at once which you can play on the same account without paying another membership.
>>741710873sell gear, buy nox halberd, do melee jad, resell halberd, rebuy gear with the help of the onyx you got from beating Jad.and done.
>>741709689Post yourself in your inferno cape with a timestamp, and more than 1 kc to show you didn't just buy it.
>Runescape when it's an online King's Quest adventure gameGreat>Runescape when it's an autistic grindan gameFine>Runescape when it actually expects you to interact with its genuinely retarded "gameplay"DogshitIf Runescape were an honest game it would force you to prayer switch, flick, gear change, safespot, and avoid missing attack ticks in the Tutorial, instead of blindsiding people 500 hours in. Save people the time they would have wasted when they find out the game they were enjoying suddenly has extremely shit, completely mandatory gameplay mechanics they're now forced to do if they want to keep playing their autistic grindan game.
>>741704385difficult? notedious, monotonous, grindy, repetitive time-wasting RNG garbage? most certainly yesmoney (or lack thereof) for gear and such has basically kept me trapped in the same few bosses and/or activities for god knows how long, and a lot of the skilling (looking at RC especially) is insanely repetitive cancer that barely even allows enough downtime to, say, get properly immersed into another game on the sidei fucking hate the game and only keep playing it because of a friend, and even then i've been lying to him as of late saying i'm skilling when i'm actually just completely afk since i really just want to play something less cancer
>>741708051>Get to a region, grab a bunch of quests, have an excuse to go explore the surroundings and kill stuff on your own terms, come back, enjoy the dopamine rush of all the rewards.based fun haverpeople play WoW for a reason, because this gameplay loop is fun
>>741711417I wish the scale of the main continent was accurate. It's supposed to be way bigger than Anachronia or the new continent.
Enough words, /v/Prove ithttps://colosim.com/
>>741712759you don't need to be a sweat to reach endgame.endgame requires switching in OSRS but not in RS3, i've killed every boss in RS3 without needing to do switches and it's easier with necromancy now because this style doesn't have switches.
>>741712759You have prayer switches at scurrius, tick perfect movement at moons and gear switches at titans. all of which you can do withing a few weeks from starting the account
>>741704385yeah I really struggle between picking body type a or body type b in this game
>>741713009>money (or lack thereof) for gear and such has basically kept me trapped in the same few bosses and/or activities for god knows how longwhich content/bosses are those? the only one I know that's infamous for jailing people is the corrupted gauntlet
>games that still have player bases after 20 years of shitting in their mouths
it's not difficult. It just takes forever to do everything. I sub every few months n play for a few weeks. I don't see how people can play it 12hrs every day it gets boring quick
>>741713009>money (or lack thereof) for gear and such has basically kept me trapped in the same few bosses and/or activities for god knows how longit's because you haven't figured out how to make money, just do slayer training and you'll get money.but the real tip most players don't do is farming, just do herb patches with ultracompost (unlock them and the teleports near them, unlocking Harmony Island herb patch requires high lvl fishing, don't bother if you can stomach the fishing grind), the two cactus patches and the farming guild bush + fruit tree patch and you'll get money crazy fast without needing to do anything hard and grindy things.you could go full autism and do all the bush/fruit tree and hops patches but this doesn't give you that much money per run compared to the time lost doing them.personally i have all the herb patches unlocked + 99 farming (easiest 99 btw) + farming cape equipped and magic secateurs, i put ranarr seeds in the normal herb patches, i put snapdragon seeds in the disease free patches, i put a coconut tree in the farming guild, i put whiteberries in the bush patch and cactus in both cactus patches.and i buy my daily discounted battlestaves from Zaff that i resell on the GE (i have elite diary so i make more money) and i get daily dynamite from the kourend diary (direct teleport to the guy with xeric talisman > inferno) and i get buckets of sand sent to my bank automatically by the sand pit guy with the diary.all these adds up to lots of money overtime, one run per day is already more than 400K, if i do two herb runs per day it's 700K+ a day.an herb run doesn't even take long, it's a really good money printer and a good one if you have a life and don't want to grind money on OSRS.just plant the stuff, it will grow by itself while logged out.just have all the necessary teleports than bring you near the farming patches and you're good.
>>741714109mostly just gauntlet as you said (the prep time is the main cancer), and a couple other bosses that didn't end up filtering me or costing too much to trial-and-error, such as vorkath/zulrahdid some ToA with a friend at one point but the potions and whatnot are kinda pricey, plus my gear isn't too great, so i ended up abandoning italso a bit trapped into slayer since friend told me i should be using that to max out my combat stats, but it is very unpredictable in terms of getting tasks that allow for going afk>>741714687i have been slacking a bit on farming tbdesu, perhaps i'll give that a go, thanks for the tips
fine I'll redownload it n play my f2p ironman
>>741714687Herb farming is legit such a hack when it comes to daily osrs money. I do 3 runs of toadflax every day (max amount of daily teleports from the medium ardy cloak and medium lumbridge ring) and barely have to farm up money for my next bond when my 2 weeks are up
>>741714902>i have been slacking a bit on farming tbdesuthe good thing is that you'll make money even with lower lvl herbs, there's a calculator here : https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Farming/Herbsalso another tip regarding the teleports near the patches, i do it in this order :- start run at either Catherby patch or Civitas illa fortis patch (begin at either of them and end the run at the other you didn't start from) > Catherby tele from your house portal (even a basic one with the spell unlocked will do, otherwise Camelot teleport and run east), Civitas has a direct tele to the city, then take the bird transport slightly north east and go to hunting guild then run north- ectophial tele to Morytania patch- explorer's ring tele to Falador patch (near the cabbage field)- Ardougne diary cape for Ardougne patch- Weiss tele with Icy Basalt - Troll Stronghold tele with Stony Basalt (with lvl 73 agility and hard fremmink diary you can tele directly next to it)- Harmony Island tele from your POH (if patch is unlocked, requires 91 fishing for the diary, the skill is AIDS so only do it if you like it or do it via sailing maybe)- Emir Arena tele with dueling ring (equipped on me) and run south past the gate for cactus patch - Xeric's Talisman (equipped on me), tele to Glade run south for Kourend patch- Farming cape tele or skills talisman to farming guild, do herb patch first, then bush patch, then cactus and go north for fruit tree (they regrow by themselves just like the bush and cactus patch), bank whiteberries, coconuts and cactus pines, take money for Zaff staves (840k if elite diary)- tele to varrock (right click >Varrock coz i set it to the GE for first option), buy staves- Xeric's talisman tele to inferno, claim free dynamite- tele to GE (varrock tele set to GE) to sell staves and dynamite- end run by either finishing at Catherby or Civitas1/2
>>741716652>profit per run 20kAt this point I'm gonna stick to cannonballs for easy afk money
>go to do Jad>lag once>die
>>741716926Just don't have third-world internet, shrimple as that.
>>741704385Difficult to look at? Pretty much. The only thing worse would be ASCII roguelikes
>>741714902>>7417166522/2you can keep the herb seeds and noted herbs in your inventory, sell noted herbs from time to time (not every day) and rebuy new seeds at the same time.you can use any tool leprechaun (the little green guys near the patches) to note herbs, cactus, whiteberries and coconutes by clicking "use" on your products and clicking on the guy, it will note it, i do it at every patch except harmony patch where i tele directly to emir's arena and note there (coz the leprechaun is close to the cactus patch).do this and you'll get rich in no time and achieve 99 farming too, i bought tons of expensive gear this way.you can finance your 99 farming (for the cape, gives which gives the teleport and more herbs) with this, by boosting the XP rate and doing expensive tree runs (and you'll still gain money more than you spend anyway).if you really like the method, you can "invest" your time by unlocking disease free patches and teleports (like the Ardougne 4 cape for infinite tele and the explorer's ring 4) by doing diaries (and training other skills to get those diaries, remember to boost skills with spicy stew +5 boost), the only diary that is AIDS is the one that you need for 91 fishing because fishing is such a shit skill you might become insane before reaching 91, but at least the reward is very worth it for herb runs.the only thing i haven't unlocked is changing the civitas patch from normal to disease free because i didn't do the Colosseum for the glory unlock but there's barely any money difference anyway, i just put ranarr in the patch instead of snapdragon.and btw i use two types of seeds because ranarr and snapdragon gives lots of money, sell easily and if you put ranarr seeds in a normal patch and it dies, it's no big deal because it doesn't cost too much per seed but a snapdragon seed costs a lot of money, so i put it in the disease free patch so that it never dies.
>>741704385osrs' entire difficulty comes from its dogshit UI and forcing the player to click everything instead of allowing him to keybind stuffit's quite literally artificial difficulty.
>>741716984I had 400mb down and 400mb up at the time which is way more than needed for runescape but every now and then, I get this little packet loss because I always end up having to use wifi. I fucking hate wifi
>>741717310just make some autohotkey scripts with a few rand calls
>>741716095yeah, just lvl farming and do this :>>741716652and you'll get way more money than your bond.and Runescape 3 has the same way of getting money but not with farming, i do daily player owned ports once per day (ports require a time investement between 6 months and 1 year to begin making money), monthly Miscellania (i use my LOTD ring to tele to miscellania and raise my approval to 100% once per week + add money in the coffer without cashing out) and player owned farm to take my fully grown crystal chins, swamp lizards and Rex dinos to sell their produce (+ get a money tree seed from time to time), just by doing these i got like 2 or 3 billion GP's in a few years and was able to buy end game gear loland you can add Reaper slayer tasks (try to farm arch glacor when you can choose the task) to get 300 points and get an Hydrix valued at 40M (it used to be 90M though).runescape is easy peazy when you know the alternate ways of making coins.like getting 95 slayer in OSRS and farming alchemical hydra (very easy, very good money but boring) or getting the cheeky araxyte task that is extremely fast to complete and drops boots valued over 1.5M rather often (used to be 3M per boots a while ago) + their common loot and venom sack gives lots of money, just need to set up a cannon and grab everything not bolted to the ground (even every venom sack since they stack and you'll end with lots of them).or the abyssal demon task with anchoring scroll, it's almost fully AFK with venator bow and drops a whip from time to time, so AFK i don't even loot anything except the really valuable stuff.only fools or ironmemes get trapped in the gauntlet jail or any boss grind.
>>741716880just train farming, it's a very fast skill that can auto-sustain itself with herb money and you'll get rich quick enough, never sleep on farming.it's a skill that snowballs at some point.
>>741721109Is the farming minigame worth grinding for exp? or should I just rotate trees?
>>741707520>can easily kill Jad>dont want to spend 65 minutes doing bullshit wavesStill dont have my fire cape just because I log out around wave 50 and go play something else. Its a boring fight.
is OSRS the most overrated game ever made?
>>741721310just do herbs and trees, get better trees with the money from herb when you can, if possible do all types of trees patches because they really give lots of XP, and do cactus asap they give expensive cactus spine.you don't need to do the most expensive trees if you don't have the money for it, while it will give slower XP you can prioritise getting money for gear or whatnot, you don't need to rush 99 farming straight away, you can stay at lvl 59 for a while because it gives you access to Snapdragon seeds, but the higher you go, the more herbs you get and the less chance of disease so more money.i think i had like lvl 70 something for a while, got millions then decided to rush 99 farming with expensive trees and got it in no time.or just set your objective to 91 farming for the falador elite diary.but seriously, farming is easy as fuck, it's not like the other skills where you grind for hours, just plant the damn things and let them grow, then click on them and you get XP.and as for the farming minigame (tithe farm), it's only worth it for the auto-weed upgrade (very fast to get) it makes it that once you rake a farming patch, weed never grows on them again and the other useful reward is the herb sack but it's only for slayer tasks, the seed box is not worth it in my opinion, i've done tons of slayer but never had an use for it.and do barbarian farming miniquest, it allows you to plant seeds without a seed dibber, one less thing in your inventory.and always use ultracompost on herbs and trees.

>>741713009just be honest and say you don't like playing the game bozo. that's what I did, played it for like four months and I just didn't like how much time and tedium there was in skilling, so I emptied my bank into my friends and canceled my sub. if anyone can understand not liking the amount of time you need to invest into a game being a deterrent, it'd be a runescape player.
>tfw did melee jad guideless in rs3, after getting jad bitchslapped back to the entrance on my first attempt because I hadn't yet figured out not to run in order to guarantee my 2 tile distance with a halberdGenuinely fun and the best part is that it took barely an hour. I do like the game a lot but I hate looking up what boss is coming next and finding a bunch of skill requirements that I cannot be fucked to do, especially archaeology or necromancy.I'm also too retarded to actively engage with the player owned farm which I think is a determent because everyone says the same thing as >>741720054 in that the produce prints money but I genuinely cannot be fucked with this facebook tier time wasting bullshit, just let me kill the big monsters

>>741724163that's like saying all WoW pvp is frost mages kiting warriors in vanilla
OSRS is a single player game you pay a monthly sub for. Everyone might as well be bots (which 90% of them are lol) at least in WoW you get funny little quips from autists. Everyone in OSRS just idly clicks away
>>741723850you should train necromancy, it's the best skill if you hate switching and it's easy to handle that's why people like it so much.>I'm also too retarded to actively engage with the player owned farm which I think is a determentfor XP, place highest lvl animal you can place in pens, feed them (if meat > raw beef, if they can eat flowers > woad leaves you can get by packs of 10 000 at the falador gardener for 25 coins each).end game POF money printer looks like : - main farm : 2 small pens of crystal chins with both parents have three traits and all traits on Studly, favorite parents (click on small star) to avoid accidentaly selling them, do the same for dinosaurs) > feed woad leaves. sell their produce.nothing else on main farm appart from crystal chins is worth it for money (except planting a money tree when you get seeds)end game dino farm :- 1 small pen with salamanders in it, sell to buyer guy nearby and buy all 6 lizards from granny, no needs for breeding and traits bullshit > feed woad leaves. sell their produce.- medium pens useless when lvl 120, ignore- 2 big pens with 2 parents with 3 traits on studly with Pavosaurus Rex dinos > feed raw beef. sell produce (the big bucks)and that's all you can reroll traits by buying trait rerolls from granny (for beans, no coins), do this for studly x3 and just on parent breeding animals that have the 3 trait slots unlocked.you can put spiders and let them elder on the main farm for extra DPS against all spides in the game including Arraxor.
>>741724236Might as well be. Every time I see "pvp" in one of these types of games its always one or a group of people in high tier gears killing randoms who are likely just gatherers / PvErs

>>741727672>>741704916The worst part is how Jagex now designs almost every boss to be fought with those bugs and prayer/gear flicking shit in mind
>>741727672except they're not bugs, just a product of the game tick based server system of runescape.>>741725838>>741726218guys, just watch odablock clips on youtube and see for yourself how hard is OSRS PVP, it's way more complicated than just click on spec bar, switch reclick on spec bar.pkers like oda can literally predict what style their enemy is going to use and when, so they can defend appropriately, it's crazy really.
>>741728463Yeah, I know, that's why I said there was lots of counterplay and was calling the guy an idiot. The top end of OSRS PvP it's literal insanity.

>>741733015>Spam buttons>winFG cucks really think their games take skill lmao
>>741704385Only if you play with this plugin
Haha, remember Zezima???I always wanted to meet him but I never did
>>741735819do you play? i have the best chance man in all of runescape guaranteed
>>741736045I once saw him fighting Dagannoths. He was wearing some very unoptimal and unusual gear like golden platelegs and dragon longsword or something and I thought it was weird.
i find it just completely surreal how there are people who have completed the entirety of the boss log and the raid log. even getting all pets is such an insanely long grind, but to complete absolutely everything else as well, and any of the raid tier 5 capes (even toa).
>>741713009people will say doing grinding in a completely different skill, in a completely different area, done in such a structured way that makes it a chore instead of a celebration, and then tell you that it's fun when they've done nothing but read guides/do the same run over and over again just to make some pitiful amounts of cash in a game with overpriced everything
>>741736045i met him and talked to him but can't find the screenshot for some reason. oh well
>>741732741food eating creates a delay before you can accomplish an action (attacking or eating for example) and it is intentional.the server works by 0.6 seconds actions, and on the side of your game client it is in milliseconds.so every attack actually has a delay of 0.6 seconds or more (1 tick =0.6s) and the game is balanced around that since the beginning, like how 2H swords have a 7 ticks attack speed (so 4.2s).food incurs a tick delay, like a shark = 3 ticks before you can attack, a sara brew = 0 ticks delay but a karambwan is a 2 ticks delay.the only way to eat more instantly is to eat a food like a shark (incurs 3 ticks delay) then a saradomin brew (potion) then a karambwan (fish that is a combo food, incurs 2 ticks delay), you can do it all in one tick if you're fast enough (triple eating) but your next attack will be delayed by 5 ticks now.and obviously if you click a second food like eating a shark then instantly trying to eat it again not only the second shark will not heal you but it will not disappear from your inventory because you tried to eat during the 3 ticks delay so it won't let you do it, this is normal.
>>741736536Makes me wonder what they're gonna do when the servers eventually die, as all things do.
>>741706873>he didn't prod at Drezels faith in order to give the Myreque a fighting chance against the VyresShaking my ess emm aych familia
>>741737695private servers that die eventually too (see: turtle wow), gainful employment, or killing themselves are probably the big 3 paths. i'm sure when osrs dies if it doesn't coincide with the complete death of the internet something will rise up to fill its niche that most who still want to play would move to.
>>741737695wonder how expensive old school servers are. guild wars 1 is famous for being kept alive basically forever since its servers cost double digits a month
>>741711417I haven't played RS3 since Menaphos came out and sucked ass. What is>the big island to the northeast>that new continent to the east (RS3 Zeah?)>that jagged outcrop near the Vampire city>that little island near the Fishing Colony>big island near the Elf Lands (Lost Grove)
>>741738342you're asking to explain like 8 years of content lol
>>741738342bad fanfiction>>741738458there, i did it in 2 words. easy.
>>741738510people don't play mmos for the story, you're like way off from your sony threads
>>741738458>>741738510Its easy>>741738342Not-fossilized Fossil IslandLow level Zeah, the east half is going to be high levelPart of the Archaeology skillQuest zone, not supposed to be an island buttons that wayBoss arena, some other shit too
>>741738582clearly people dont play them for good gameplay either, if they did WoW wouldn't have any players and neither would ffxiv.
>>741704385Without a doubt
>>741738664this thread is not about wow or ff
>>741738947it's not about rs3 either
>>741738971It is now
No, but it has a deceptively high skill ceiling for how low the skill floor is.
>>741739036why would anyone play the single worst mmo on the marketosrs is the best, the rest all suck, but rs3 is like a cheap copy of the ability spam slop mmos + they butcher everything that made classic runescape good (visuals, story, gameplay, etc)
>>741704385Artificial difficulty purposely done by the UI as a deliberate design choice on the false pretense of being old-school (It's not) that's simultaneously ruined by (and designed around) hundreds of plugins on a 3rd party client
>>741739134What's the highest level veteran cape you got
>>741739420i would not voluntarily log into rs3, ever.it's like shaking hands with the guy who fucked your wife.
>>741739134nta i prefer 3 and i played both quite a lot.
>>741739483>touristOh ok
>>741739134>osrs is the bestno it's not, the people there are stuck in the past and every conversation ingame is either about troons or politics I had my fun with the game and I can hum most songs from memory but it's donethe best game mode is literally "3 lefts to make a right" mode where nothing is more difficult but takes x3 times the time that it should. Every incentive to play OSRS or RS3 or any other MMORPG vanished like 10 years ago
>>741734865>other people's achievementsthat LARPer didn't know about logout mechanics that existed since the start of the fight cavesthere is no achievement being downplayed here
>>741735186I think they banned purple sweets on fightcaves because people were making 1 prayer firecape accounts
>>741738870my favorite osrs youtuber
>>741704385>Is "pay 2 win" 2007 the most difficult game ever created?Also the Aqua poster is a avatarfag, for those of you who don't know what an avatarfag is, it's the official 4chan term for someone who posts pictures of the same character every time they post such as to identify themselves. This is banned on 4chan site rules and the mods haven't banned this person yet even though they are breaking the rules lol.
>>741741667inferno
>>741741784that's because he's some recent indian janitor or a janitor dickrider, if you don't get banned for avatarfagging its because you are a janitor, no other way about it.
>>741738870Is that supposed to be Yama?
>>741715887What even is there to do after doing all the quests
>>741738870>don't need to think, just click on the thing every .6 seconds, sometimes don't need to click at all>difficulty
>>741710403its not just possible, its trivially easy. just camp pray melee, only switch if he telegraphs range/mage, and switch back to melee as soon as you see a projectile
>>741738870at what point do you just not bother with videogames anymoreif you dissect them to this point, why even play videogames? everything is just tiles and timers
>>741710594>>741710658>>741743264can you do it with guthans?
>>741743570you can technically do it with a bronze dagger, as long as you pray correctly and kill the healers you should never get hit
>>741743570why would you need guthans you shouldnt take damagekilling jad faster will reduce the damage you take from healers more than slowing down to heal off the damage they deal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyJJAAYT82YLMAOOOOO what the fuck is this dogshit ass combatbasedllennials really wasted their lives on this it looks like SS13 yeah i'll stick to melty blood aacc and 3rd strike
>>741739134Yeah, that's why the RS3 population has been on an eternal decline outside of a short period during COVID lockdown
>>741735328>spam swaps>winosrs cucks really think their games take skill lmao
>>741741614don't reply to my posts you smelly fucking indianif you reply to this post you're foregoing 50 izzat, you've been warned
I failed to kill Jad at combat level 110 :(
>>741745034the combat is plain but quite intricate actually. Both players can protect against one combat style at a time, so its all about hitting your opponent with a style he isn't protecting against (as shown with the symbol over his head). You change your attack style by switching to the relative gear set which in itself is actually quite difficult. As a pro pker you want to switch within one tick (0.666 seconds) that means you are clicking 3-4 items in your inventory in that short amount of time and perfectly timing it so not give away what you are about to hit him with.Fundamentally its a rock-paper-scissors but fast pace & if you cant keep up your opponent can tell what youre about to do. There is a bunch of other complexity to it as well, like offensive prayers (adding to the difficulty of clicking within a single game tick), predicting your oppoent (even when he isn't slow) and fakying (intentionally switching to a gearset 1 tick before you can actually hit to make him believe you are about to hit him with that), KO opportunities with special attack weapons, freezing (which allows you to step under & take breaks when you lose momentum), combo eating mechanics, pidwapping, and more.Its legit more difficult than traditional fighting games. Just because the characters aren't flying around and doing kicking & punching animations all the time doesn't mean there isn't alot going on, its just very difficult to see if you've never played before.
>>7417383421. Anachronia, which is a dinosaur island larger than the Wilderness and the equivalent to Fossil Island featuring "Big Game Hunter", Orthen Dig Site (Dragonkin) and the Time Altar.

>>741714267>shitting in their mouthsthey kind of stopped doing that with OSRS, and since its been growing. Who would have thought.
>>741704741>That would be WoW.WoW doesn't even have a Jad, let alone a Zuk.
>>741750862A lot of non-overworld areas got updated, and a lot of small changes wouldn't appear on a map unless you saw it in-game yourself, such as:20. Graphical updates to Kandarin (Eagles' Peak, West & East Ardougne, Yanille), Lunar Isle, Waterbirth Island. Many changes to ground textures.21. Ourania Altar area was fixed after being unchanged since RSHD. 22. The entire Free-to-play Area has been updated to appeal to the OSRS crowd.

>>741735186I'll get fire cape in this setup in honor of you anon
>>741728141No boss requires 1 tick flicking nor is it even very commonly used because you need to be standing still doing nothing else to do itIf you didn't have to swap prayers or gear during a fight you would just be standing there afk and the game would have zero combat depth
>>741707520>beat Jad>died and lost the Fire Cape months laterFuck wasting my time doing that bullshit again
>>741704385Any retail WoW mythic boss mogs anything runescape puts out like infernoThe only "hard" thing about runescape is the laggy netcodeThere is no way in a million years a runescape player could kill mythic L'ura or Kil'Jaeden
>>741707631I'd hate to be the first person who reached Jad and not knowing which attack causes which type of damage
>>741757157>my game is basically cookie clicker and has no actual gameplay outside of abusing what basically amounts to a glitch to be immortalSo why play it?
>>741726379This but Zanik
>>741704385No.But it has a lot of design problems that make it more difficult than it should be on top of them making content around third party plugins doing the heavy lifting.Nothing relying on an internet connection should be difficult especially when jagex keeps shitting the bed.
>>741750862>Removal of lumbridge craterDidn't they already fill it in with water and soil to make a park? I thought that was a good compromise.
>>741724054DAoC pvp is better however
Is the RS3 necromancy storyline gay as shit with the focus on being friendly with the ghosts and undead you raise and match making their literally homosexual marital troubles or do you finally get to go full evil power lich mode
>>741760613I dropped a word, the question was meant to be>Is the storyline still gay as shitAlso the gayest part of necromancy is having a skill called Animate Undead and it's nothing more than a defense buff
>>741706380rs3 does not exist
afriend was playing rs3 a little while back and it actually looked fun
Reading this thread has been extremely cathartic. I feel an even higher sense of confirmation bias because the people I've seen complain are mains and I have been playing an iron for about 50 days; this shit is so much worse but until now I could only really say that I imposed the misery upon myself by going ironman.
>>741761665>this shit is so much worseMidgame iron is great though, the game only becomes sucky as you get past 80s and you go 2k dry for a bp, enter red prison or whatever else, needing to keep up with herb runs
>>741706873Filtered
>>741708051Concession accepted
>>741707520Spending 3 hours to get to Jad just to panick and die before you can even see him blowsThe only way I was able to beat him was popping benzos
>>741761665iron is the only real way to play the game seeing as how the GE instantly invalidates all difficulty and exploration
>>741704385OSRS isn’t difficult it’s just not intuitive, like most older games. A quick YouTube guide trivializes pretty much everything about the game.
>>741735146OSRS players pretending they never used guides or runelite to complete quest is always extremely funny to me.
>>741704741>fighting games are harderThis is how you let everyone know that you are 76IQ. Literally only niggers think fighting games are hard.
>>741704385I legit don't think I've gotten more of an adrenaline rush from any game besides beating Jad for a firecape. Either that or getting my rank 50 in Halo 3.
>>741704916based
>>741763775ive finished a couple quests without guides or runelite but they are all extremely simple ones, like cook's assistant
>>741704385>OSRSchuds think reacting to something in .6 seconds at the absolute minimum is hard
>>741706380>fagex saysdon't care
>>741724228When will you esl retards learn the difference between "duel" and "dual" ?
>>741764314you'd be surprised.
>>741750862>It features a laggy village larger than the city of Varrock (Wendlewick). Featuring the Moonrise Dig Site (Guthixian)it doesn't lag for me and you forgot east of Wendlewick there's Amberfell now and there will be a bigger land east(?) of that soon.
>>741760295it looked like shit and was used for events like the summer beach and whatnot, it didn't fit the theme of the game (medieval game) and was right near the starting area for noobs, so they removed it because they're currently cleaning up the decade of MTX content and weird shit like this.they're trying to revive RS3.>>741751381isn't the colosseum harder than Zuk now ?or the awakened DS2 bosses than are harder than the above ?
>>741764985It's a doggy dog world
>>741738342Lost grove is home to Solak, one of the hardest boss in the game and (imo) the hardest boss if you ignore bosses with enrage mechanics.>>741754938i think Wendlewick music is better, it's a really cozy village you'd want to live in if you were isekai'd in runescape.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fu2VReHTZ0&list=RDwblCKdazVuA&index=3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblCKdazVuA&list=RDwblCKdazVuA&start_radio=1
Is rs3 now worth playing?Im bored of osrs after maxing combat and slayer
>>741766327it depends, it costs you nothing to start RS3 because you can play on the same account.i'd just try the game and do quests if i were you, and reach the newish areas like Wendlewick and do necromancy because it's the easiest combat style to use and feels more rewarding.i wish we had sailing in RS3 though.
>>741706873>In practice everyone does quests with a guideProjection. Spoiling your own experience then calling it shit lol.
>>741766530>Same accountYou dont need another membership?On osrs, alts dont share membership
>>741766530>Wish we had sailingLmao, you dontIts a fucking dogshit worthless ass skillIts really soul crushing to do it
>>741760040 Zanik canonically thirsts for the PC https://litter.catbox.moe/9csutt.jpg
>>741766914Every account you make can play both games, oldfags who have been playing since the old days had their main progress transferred to RS3 and had to start over from the beginning in OSRS.
>>741766914you can play OSRS and RS3 on the same account and same membership.you don't need to create a new account or pay a new membership to play RS3.just know that you can't simultaneously play OSRS and RS3 on the same account with the two game clients open (but you can play on separate accounts with both clients open), the reason being that both games share the same account login data so it's not possible if it's on the same account.>>741766950meh, i really liked it, i'm lvl 88 right now and i've done all the exploration (really liked this), all the marlin rank course (without grinding, altough the crystal course was harder for marlin rank) and i've done lots of salvaging for the museum kudos rare items.otherwise i've done some combat with the cannons, desu they really messed this up but they did try to fix it, the real problem currently is that there's no good gameplay loot for ship combat, it doesn't give good loot and doesn't give good XP, it's slow and it's just firing at the same mob again and again with no variation.once they truly fix ship combat, sailing will be more interesting.i'v killed tons of frost dragons too during the gold rush, made 100M with them lolbut the skill has tons of potential, huge exploration, maybe new mini-adventures gameplay loops or something, there's so much potential.but i guess getting to 99 is soul crushing with the barracuda trials, personally i'd just do it with salvaging if i wanted 99, it's a bit like RS3 archaeology but simpler and less interesting.
>>741766327I have comped iron in rs3 and it's fun
>>741764985Its EFL that's most likely to make mistakes like that.
The ancient tickrate is the biggest problem for me, i'm too used to modern tickrates and things responding near instantly
>>741728141or with retarded gear checks locked behind minmax activities, good luck farming leviathan with a rcb, gagex made bowfa mandatory
>>741772182levianthan is easy if you are not bad with prayer flicks, it's a baby boss compared to the whisperer.
>>741733139Same anon here, wow the thread is still up. Yeah I know about it but I usually log out for weeks at a time and the rare times I come back I actually want to play the game instead of grinding waves. Its just not fun. Ive done it across 3 accounts but doing it again for the group iron man is just not fun. Always hated the fight. Its easy but tedious. Zulrah is a better item gate boss for elite void. Actually challenging (at least before melee and power creep) without the tedious shit.
>>741704385Will it ever be surpassed?
>>741772332I much prefer whisperer than leviathan because everything is telegraphed and self-explanatory whereas leviathan goes from easy guitar hero to speed 10 expert for no reason fuck that nigger snake
>>741764314>boss shoots fireball>switch to mage pray within .6 seconds>still die because you should have switched before he even started the animation> OSRS players defend this :-)
>>741704385>>741704741>OSRS is not even the hardest MMO. That would be WoW.EVE online
>>741757157I've been learning bosses and you're wrong. Every boss past your beginner level entries that are over a decade old all require prayer flicking and heavy recommendations for gear switches, meaning my runs without gear switches don't ever succeed. Btw, the gear you need to switch to requires around 1000 boss kills for 10-15 bosses so like 500ish hours of click click click click click idk man I'm kinda thinking of leaving osrs. It was a fun nostalgia trip but they truly do only cater to this new rhythm game feel and pvp which is pure ass cancer
>>741780513>Every boss past your beginner level entries that are over a decade old all require prayer flickingprayer flicking is not the same as prayer switching
>>741716984This happened to me with starlink
>>741780513make an rs3 main we don't have prayer shit like that
>>741725169That's literally the gayest shit in the world of gaming. Pvp in osrs is possibly one of the worst communities, worst scenes, worst implementation ever. It's 100% but abuse or you lose. That is not fun or even funny like Skyrim but abuse or something. It's gay. It's faggit
I enjoyed playing rs3 quests before I stopped playing soon after dinoland
>>741780858When you switch to the other block prayer, you're going to have to start flicking that one. Mate, face it, you don't have room in the inventory for full prayer on all the time in any capacity for these boss fights. You must prayer swimming ch AND prayer flick. The bosses are designed around this, it's even stated as such in each of their fucking releases, the guides, the wiki. They leaned into the niche community that found interesting bugs that allowed the depth of bosses and gameplay to be expanded. You can deny it all you want, but it's how jagex is actively developing. Gonna go cancel my account today, this thread convinced me. You'll see that jagex has been and is ever increasingly running away a core player ase for autistic and obsessive types. Beyond all this bs shit takes too long and I'm over 1750 total. Not worth playing if you're an adult.
I really do pine for a game that looks and feels like dota2 but is runescape. Kind of like Kenshi or something you know?
>>741783035>Mate, face it, you don't have room in the inventory for full prayer on all the time in any capacity for these boss fightsYou must be doing something wrong. Most people don't prayer flick bosses because you risk getting 1 shot if you miss it.
