Will you guys be playing the successor to Runescape?
It’s certainly got a unique style to it and I’m going to give it a try but I can’t see if going far if they don’t try and catch up with all the content RS3 and OSRS has in it currently, it’s the Gowers though so there’s bound to be some really nice gameplay in there somewhere
really not a fan so far.I'll probably still try it, but i hate the claustrophobic board game aesthetic more than anything.
>>1382327why do people want more of this genre? were surely not the same species its just blatant waste your time slurry for domesticated animals
>>1387111from what I have seen, I get a sense they are washed up and their creative era is over. besides 07 Runescape was actually total ass, people just didn't know it yet. For instance, it took some time for the first 99 smithing to hit, but later down the road it became apparent just how trash the skill really was. making lvl 40 armor at lvl 99 smithing.... yeah, enough said i think. it took forever to see change to it. in rs3 Priff had to be created first and in OSRS IDR a date, but it felt like it wasn't that long ago they did a change of some sort (i dont play it much).I think Runescape did shine b/c of the nuanced gameplay details. like I think they just played their own game (extremely rare today!) and made solutions to their problems, which brought about content that made sense. An example of this would be battlestaves for gp, or miscellania as a gp dump that gave better value in recourses. as good as the smaller details were, i always felt like they needed twice as many of those smaller details that glued the game together. and again, a change of some type to a lot of the skills would have been nice as well
No. RuneScape is total shit for retards and this doesn't look any better.
Yes I will be giving it a goI've literally never given a shit about the graphics nor the tile system it has going on, people who complain about stuff like that are either women or faggotsStory, lore, and rpg chads rise up
>>1388624Because it's fun.
I'm not reassured by the lack of info. We're getting a decent ways into Q3 and there's not that many details, let alone a release date.
looks really food op
>>13823271) Pozzed or not?2) Online only?3) If yes to 2, company servers only or can I make my own?
>>1399177NotYesCompany.
>>1400634Can't have nice things for shit these days...Thanks for the answers.
https://x.com/andrewcgower/status/1827031074850984380release date nov 5 according to dev.
>>1405931>10 days before PoE2It's so ogre...
>>1382327Looks like am mix of OSRS and RS3. I'll give it a try.
I am really excited for this game. i have been playing runescape since like 2006 and honestly i am pretty sick of it by this point, but i really can't find anything that scratches the same itch.
>most active discussion rnhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/2791440/discussions/0/6194224571373130930/
>>1413338True.
>>1399136Cooking is a skill, yes.
>>1382327dunno but looks ok
>>1388741>nearly 20 year old game>"It's bad, people just don't know it yet."youre delulu bro
My only gripe with it is the tile look. Really not a fan. I also feel the style for the models and overall look of the game could be better.
>>1382327classes are uninteresting and way overdonethey could have at least went with some cool ones but the whole reason Runescape succeeded is that it was NOT trying to be like every other game on the market
>>1420934Yeah, I don't mind the sub area design, since I like that they're kinda like dioramas linked together, and I find that cute, but the individual squares of the grids kinda kills that
>>1421521It's supposed to liken to tabletop games.
>>1382327Looks absolutely horrible. I hate that it seems to not be one connected world but a series of instanced rooms.
We are going home :)
I'm already playing Melvor Idle.
>>1382327I will try it but it looks like absolute shit ngl fr frbut then again, if you show OSRS to normies they'll say the same thing (and they're right)
Really hope there's an option to blend the tiles.
>>1382327uhhhhnah i dont think so
>>1435043That's like a year 3 update.
>>1433604Xisters, our response?
>>1382327It'll flop like every other roony clone lololol
>>1382327Will I be playing a shit sequel to a trash "game"? I don't think so.
>>1388118for sure, they need to add more stroads and 10 lane highways, along with cul de sacs and "55' offset from the road" suburbsotherwise, EUROKEK GAYME
>>1388624because whats more retarded?: shitting away your time on games, or being discomforted on a regular basis forcing you to consoom another video game purchase, only to tire quickly and repeat. theres a sense of pleasance of just being in a game, absorbing what YOU find interesting within the moment of your day. not being forced to hold a controller every second, not being forced into some input archetype (ie holding a gun, holding a steering wheel)it's just a more coherent experience, you're more likely to remember playing runescape compared to almost any other game, even if you no longer play. it's frankly one of the most liberating types of games, despite attracting a ton of conservatives, or conservation enjoyers lol
>>1450918this is what political YouTube videos do to your brain
>>1451303most of that is a response to "need big" because any large vg map typically begins to start putting roads in as apart of the mapbut im not lying about 55' offsets and offsetting in general, that shit is degeneracy maximum, just like ur faggy yt obsession
>>1446040made by roony creator though.
when the fuck is this britbong gonna give us more details?
>>1382327i hope it succeeds just because i hate jagex so much it is unreal. desu premium pass sounds super fucking gay. why not just call it membership? also it better not have bonds or a grand exchange i swear. also death better be fucking punishing. also pls pls pls pls don't allow retarded cheat clients and bots too ty.
>>1433604>you can finally get a bankstanding capeI'm in
>>1465143>>1465144>>1465145>>1465146>>1465147This has me even more excited, it's a great idea to have brand new skills & mechanics that runescape/osrs would never even consider from the start. Gives everyone a reason to try it out other than "it's a runescape clone".
>>1465145Strange UI. Hopefully it feels better in game.
>>1461240Everything has to have a slightly different name or people will get upset that its too similar to runegame.
>>1461240Trading is locked behind premium, so that should mitigate the bot problem. Bonds aren't THAT big of a deal. I agree that the grand exchange shouldn't be there.
>>1469960there are still bots in ffvix which is a sub-based gamethe question is how easy it is to bot the best gold generating activities, in RS it's laughably easy to script bots for end game bosses
I need this shit to come out already
looks like a sims knockofflooks like zuckerberg sponsored this content for his vr universe scamlooks like a shitty mobile game with popup ads (unskippable)just looks so fucking horrible, the artists way over-done the realism and left the fantasy element to be a shitty version of modern minimalism. zero fantasy aspects, everything looks ripped out of reality. even the UI's are soulless with their micro-text autism like >>1465143fucking >buttons on all four corners for mobilecucks to missclick>>1465145>literally incapable of drawing slopes on the terrain edgessomeone needs to nuke that art team
Imagine actually writing something like this ^
Any other previews coming out? Maybe an overview video?
>check Gower's twitter for more details>apparently a while back, the game got delayedGOD DAMNIT
>>1382327no I'll be playing runescape
>2 weeks until launchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s779CTTRNhI
>>1472346Small post, smaller brain
>>1390567Disgusting game.This single screenshot kills their game.
>Brighter shoresGameplay is just a bunch of rooms. Even NWN 1 from 20 fucking years ago had bigger play areas between zones fucking lol.This game should be called brighter chores instead by the look of it. Anyone who plays this shit and gayscape can and probably do blow boat people.
It looks interesting to me. I'm definitely going to try it out.
/biz/ shook
can I toggle off the tile flooring?
new trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_PIWDd3ftwhttps://mmos.com/news/brighter-shores-new-mmorpg-from-co-creator-of-runescape-early-access-begins-nov-6sub cost is £4.99
>>1486404Damn, they're really trying to go for the throat with that price point. Already seemed like a decent deal with the whole "pay once, get everything up to that point" model, but that's low enough for a lot of people to remain actively subscribed, especially with everyone complaining about the Runescape price increase. At the very least, if they stick the landing, they'll probably scoop up a large part of the RS3 demographic.
5 days
2 days
>>1486404>6.50 subHoly
>>1490937When is the last time a mmo sub has been that cheap?
1 day left
im gonna set an alarm for 2am so i can download that shit, get in a little playtime before work
6 hours.
Fuark bros I'm getting kind of excited, if this isn't good I'm writing off the whole genre.
>>1492607Don't get your hopes too high.
>>1492614I'm TRYING bro
>>1492617Just remember, Early access + Small dev team.
90 bings
Give me a quick rundown on the faction shit. >>1383893
>>1492701>melee, ranged, mage respectively>each can use a different kind of magic>you can use some moves from other classesBeta testers said Guardian and Hammermage feel the best of the three.
45 bings
>>1492706Sir, it comes out in 1hour and 30min. Get your timing right.
>>1492703If each class/faction gets its own unique spellbook that'd be pretty based
>>1492703>have to choose and they're different>the one that looked the most interesting is the shit oneI liked what Runescape did, forcing choices right out of the gate is an outdated concept.
>>1382327I guess I'll try it but it doesn't look that fun
So I'm assuming each faction/classes magic is themed, like Cryoknight obviously uses Ice magic if I had to just look it at right?
Its up, I managed to snag 3 good names. Its crazy how fast some of them were scooped.
>chat rules>no swearingcome on man, if I can't swear I'm fucked
make sure to turn on chat in privacy settings.
Got all three names I wanted lol.
>>1492751you realise theres a tag system unique names don't matter
>>1492752You get unique names if you pay for the subscription.
>>1492752They do matter, its cooler to have the first name of a type
I'm just grinding foraging on the beach lol
It's over
>>1492765Works on my machine.
feels like a shitty mobile game
If you're leveling cooking the bounty board gives a lot of xp.
>>1492815How does it work? I needed level 9 to interact with it
>>1492821like a slayer task, but for dishes, 2-8 needed so far. You get extra $ and like 1k xp for each bounty
get a skill to 20 asap so you unlock KP and afk skillsobelisk side quest is an easy early complete an has decent rewards.you need 25 fishing for the delivery quest
>>1492814thisdropped
If I reserve a name and then get a premium pass will it remove the number after it?
I can get behind different areas having different skills but why do different areas have the same skills with different names?
>>1493021lore reasonsmore importantly fuck powerlevelers, you will suffer through the grindy content at every expansion
>>1382327hey OP how're you feeling right now that this game turned to be utterly shit?
lmfao
>>1493053This the whole game world or the f2p area?
>>1493078that's the whole world
>>1493078f2p ends at the green half
>>1493091>>1493093Gotcha
Am I stupid or is there no weapons merchant in the starting town?
I do wish there were keyboard shortcuts even though I know it's supposed to be in the spirit of RS that it's all mouse based
Where's the obelisk part?
>>1493222SW of Town Square.
>>1493109Weapons are only from monster drops so far, yeah
>>1493242That's the obelisk. I just happened to find the part while running around. It's at the pufferfish room.
>>1493392I'm grinding for 20 cooking for no reason other to unlock the offline training so I can log off. I don't like this very much.
>>1493407Oh for fuck's sake I need to get some knowledge point thing and then I don't know if I will be able to buy the fish I'll need.
>no pvp>no pk>no trade>no funno play
Do you unlock spells for the other profession banks
>>1493424I grinded to 20 combat and am now logged out fighting street louses.5 hours for this
Oh man which class do I pick for my character?
Map transitions be like
>>1493470I chose hammermage, hammers and lightning magic seems cool
>>1493424>the knowledge points come from leveling your overall levelso what happens if you don't unlock any passive activities and just spent your points on XP or silver
It really slows down after 20 wtf
Uh your EXP potions?
They gotta change combat level resetting in each zone.
Okay, this is actually kind of sovl.
>>1493598it really isn't
I really really hate left click doing everything. I click to walk and accidentally click an npc. I click-and-drag to move the camera, then I click again. Nothing but left click. And can't move from the minimap.
I think I'll get 20 in each skill then move onto the next episode.
>>1493603this whole game looks like a fucking mobile gamei feel like i should be playing it on a tableti'm going to need a couple of tablets just to get through every fucking session at this ratethese devs better focus on adding some PC QoL features before any fucking thing else
>>1493598This looks fucking terrible
the game ui was literally made for mobile
>>1493659What a disaster.
>spent 72 silver on a fishing rod when it's for passive fishing>could have spent it on getting a hatchetFUCK ME
Not a good first impression, that's for sure
I've actually been enjoying it.
What's the best post 15 guard training? Crows and Thiefs are wrecking me.
>>1493708I think I went from level 15 or 16 to 20 by completing the main story quest that requires you to get a total level of 60
>>1493708idk I was doing Goblin Chiefs to 15 and then I hit 20 from completing the main quest.
>>1493709yeah what do you grind for better gear? goblins are the best bet so far. I am level 25 guard but my gear sucks ass
so which one of you assholes is this?
Gonna log off passive grinding these bugs I better come back to being like level 25.
>>1382327I didn't vote. I don’t believe in democracy. I believe in Thule, the ancient city, and I believe that Andrew is going to raise Thule, and Atlantis. I believe in global cooling, the sea levels lowering, and I believe in land rising from the bottom of the ocean with ancient ruins on it, like the ruins of Thule. I believe Andrew Gower will accomplish all of this. He’s going to prove that UFOs exist; the government has known about it for a long time. They know that UFO’s are out there and are trying to communicate with us, and that they have secrets about the origins of human consciousness. Are you familiar with the philosopher Friedrich Schelling? Have you read the Critical Historical Introduction to the Philosophy of Mythology? Schelling is a German Idealist philosopher, he was roommates with Hölderlin, and Hegel, and he talks about all of this, he predicted it a long time ago. Andrew is going to make German idealism real, He’s going to complete the system. Immanuel Kant could not complete the system of German idealism; Andrew is going to complete the system - He is going to derive the complete system of German idealism. Hegel couldn’t do it, Schelling couldn’t do it, Fichte couldn’t do it, Reinhold couldn’t do it, Maimon couldn't do it, no one could complete the system of German idealism. Andrew is a Kantian; It needs to be clear to everyone here, Andrew is a Kantian
>>1493735This is what I gained from about one day of afking the lice. Looks like you'll need a lot more than just one day if you want to reach level 25 solely through this method
>>1493815I wonder if it capsCould you just quit and come back to three years worth of XP and cash
>>1493832I have no idea but I can't see myself loading up the game again any time soon unless some new update gets added so I guess we'll see how much I get from a few weeks worth of afking
>>1493834godspeed anon let us know
>>1493834That's what I thought yesterday but I wake up and the grind calls.
This is terrible for socializing. Why even make it a MMORPG? You can only talk to people in the same map as you but there is so much running around that you'll miss any responses unless you just stand there waiting.I thought I was going to get to make some new gaming friends from this to actually sit in VC and have someone to talk to while we both grind but at least 100+ people must have seen me spamming my messages and they all wanted to play solo.
>>1493908doesn't help that chat is disabled by default
>>1493958Which is fucking weird. I wonder what UK laws or fear thereof might be influencing that.
>>1493815yeah I logged in and got like 14k xp and did gain a level but I was hoping for at least 2 levels. I get passive skilling is supposed to be less efficient to offset it being automatic but man.
>>1493966I'm not even sure if it's UK laws rather than him being overly prim. The brighter shores TOS literally has a 'no swearing' bullet point in it and the OG runescape word filter blocked out words like 'damn'
so what's the point in grinding when you have to do it all over again in a new zone? do i do the bare minimum to progress as fast as possible to a new zone, i just don't get it. whats the point of getting lvl 60 cooking and combat in the beginner zone when im lvl 1 in the next zone
>>1494019Apparently there's some carryover.
>>1494019According to some madmen who actually grinded enough to get to the third episode/region the game actually starts coming together and feeling like a proper RS game. Skills there actually need mats from prior zones. They just gotta bring that shit into the first two zones.
>>1494031What a baffling decision to not introduce this earlier then. He's stated that he didn't want players to feel overwhelmed at first which is why I assume you're dripfed four skills at a time, but instead I can't help but feel it's gonna end up having the opposite effect where people are underwhelmed and disappointed instead
>>1494019>whats the point of getting [...] combat in the beginner zone when im lvl 1 in the next zoneThere's no difference between not being able to beat a weak enemy in a new zone and not being able to beat a strong enemy in an old zone. The core gameplay of "click the interact button and wait" is the same either way. You pass the stat check or you don't.
>>1494231What is the gain from increasing guard/scout level more than what is needed to advance to the next episode?
>50 alch and 61 cooking to do this 2 star quest Jesus, that's probably like a day or two of grinding right?
>>1494231Yeah, in a solo game, retardnigger.
>>1399177Subtly pozzed. Woman leader at the starter quest, and another woman leader (this time also an afro nigger) towards the end of the quest. Blacks look to be 13% but in a medieval/whatever setting.... fucking stupid. At least it has 2 genders in character creator, though there's no "male" or "female", just 2 halfs of a little person figure to click, so it's like a half way between "male/female" and "type A/B" wokie slop.No idea what it's like past ep1.
>>1494234>What is the gain from increasing guard/scout level more than what is needed to advance to the next episode?higher guard level unlocks higher level monsters (wow this brown lion turns into a green lion yay)a level 10 enemy can only drop gear at level 10 or lowera level 33 enemy can only drop gear at level 33 or lowerrarity adds invisible levels to the gear, it seems to be +10 levels per tier (uncommon, rare, epic) so level 10 epic gear is like level 40 in power, no jokeits like fucking borderlands where your gear is going to be useless as soon as you unlock an enemy that is higher than the highest one you can fightat least gear rarity means you might be able to hold onto shit longer thoughalso enjoy having to level your "combat gear level" each time you enter a new episodeimagine levelling to 500 combat like 10+ timestheres no difference between guard, scout, minefighter, watchperson, militia, etc etcgarbage system they better fucking change it
>>1494234>>1494452I was looking at my stats from lv18-21ish and they do go up. I didn't look at HP but I assume that does. But I was also getting a .38% increase in across the entire "deflect" category. Shoulda tested differences taking off all gear and fighting with full gear.Still have no idea how fucking weapons work. My best one is still a yellow lv2 pike (pretty sure pikes are OP, all the power of a 2h halberd but hit twice as fast as anything else). Seems to be on par with my lv8 purple halberd which has 20 more attack power on it, but is still better because faster attacks for less damage is more consistent, especially how fucking inconsistent the damage numbers are (pisses me off so much).
I finally got a piece of chest armour so I don't look like some random guy casually strolling through the town, but does armour actually have any impactful stats? It's kind of hard to figure out what matters and what doesn't in combat
>>1494456If you inspect armor it has various defense values assigned to each damage type that affect how much deflect (defense) you have against those attacks. Biggerer number equals betterer but also once you lock in a class I think your class specific gear drops start to have more focused weights. My hammermage shield has a lower overall defensive rating against nature damage compared to cryo damage for example.
cooking lvl 50 skill cape. looks shit at the top of the cape
>>1494482When do you even unlock skill capes?
>>1494482sorry anon but it looks like ass.
>>1494482I hope the woodcutting cape looks good.
>>1494483cape store near the hairdressers or something50 100 200 500 i thinksomething like that anywayfinal one costs 9 gold 9 silver
this is honestly not the MMO im looking for, it's a more idle version of runescape and that's fine with me. it's tickling my dopamine receptors for a little bit.
>>1494561>it's a more idle version of runescapeThat's called Melvor
>>1494252Hahahah no. Once a stat hits 20, the curve goes WILD. 21 is half way to 22.
Excerpt from official steam post.
Got to the forest. It would be cool if levelling up forest professions unlocked resources in Hopeport, and if Hopeport professions could be used in the forest. Like if I could fish in a pond in the forest, or if levelling up gathering meant I could pick fruit from a bush located in Hopeport.I understand his reasoning for having the combat start from zero in each area, but for gathering and crafting it's a bit shit.
>>1494777>if levelling up forest professions unlocked resources in Hopeport, aGatherer ingredients are used in alchemist recipes.
>>1494650>they're interlinked how?
>>1494650kek it's DOA
>>1495038Ep2 mats are used for Ep1 crafting.Ep2 mats are used for Ep3 crafting.Ep3 crafts are used in Eps1,2,&4.
this is fucking retarded https://brightershoreswiki.org/w/Experience
>>1495119lmao what the fuck is even thatis passive XP that scary to themor do they fear people blowing through all of the early access content before they can add more shitthe +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 versions of resources better shit out like 1000 XP or something holy shit
>>1495119and the "progression" for rising XP rates as you level up skills and unlock more shitnowhere near being consistent with the sheer fucking cliff face that XP per level growth isat least for logstime to spend fifty billion gold enchanting my tools i guessalchemy 500 here i come gonna need those XP potions
>>1495119I thought the curve plateaued after 25 what the hell?
finna wypipo aint they ever experience no slavery cuh
>>1495199It just doesn't have the same feel as the flax fields.
so what's this about a spell bank for all banks with 32 carpentry? is it a quest I unlock at 32 only? where/which NPC?
>>1495229spider quest in the second episode unlocks those stone circles as new bank deposit riftsyou need 32 carpentry to make an acid resistance ash shield to kill a spider or some shit
>>1495230Oh interesting. Was picking up random slop that mentioned a spider quest that I had no idea about, and eventually saw a spider and the bdsm fag while exploring. You can make shields with carpentry huh? Cool. Where's it start though? The quest NPC that is. Or can I just click the spider the moment I have the acid shield?
>>1495232No clueQuests are fucked up in this game, like I found a marrow and it immediately opened up the spider questWhy would I know about spiders just from finding a tin of gold paintCome the fuck onI guess they want the quests to be non-linear or some shit, but the game itself is so linear that it stands at odds with the design
>>1495232Pretty sure you still gotta talk to the NPC the quest tells you to talk to if you wanna start it properly.
>>1495239oh forgot, does it auto give you the quest in the UI? I'll check that out, thanks.
>>1495241Yeah the quest list just lists all of them
Level 12 chef - single ingredient Kevin-itemsVegetable stew: 80exp, 212copper profit. Takes slightly less than twice as long as making omelette.Omelette: 38exp, 116 copper profit. Guess I'll do vegetables actually. Stopped since it was two actions but, at least at 12 when I actually checked them, it's slightly after to execute (one Kevin run & one chef sale) and gives way more profit and slightly more exp.
where do I buy trowels fuck how else do I use these alchemy reagents fucking niggower
>>1495253There's a foraging merchant that sells the tools on Old Street East.
>>1495253trowels are sold at the gathering warehouse where you got secateurs
>>1495257the what warehouse literally what is that
>>1495259down the street from the town square, on the way to the front gatethe same place you bought secateursyou did buy secateurs, right?
>>1495260H U H you mean the fishing building? the FUCK is this building holy shit. I'm in the middle of finishing my hopeport lv60 but I'll check in a sec but Idk what the fuck this building is
>>1495263okay so i'm guessing you didn't buy secateurs thenif you're standing at the fountain in the town square, go eastthen go east againand the warehouse will be north, next to (but not connected to) pipe alley
>>1495265Oh, yeah sorry I didn't. Thanks. Though I'm already 60 so I'll do that next time if I need it.
>>1495266you got to 60 foraging without buy a single tool???
>>1495267no 60 total, just trying to get to episode 2, my foraging is like 7
>>1495119Back in the day Andrew said he was surprised by how much people grinded in RSC and that he initially hadn't expected people to even go beyond level 70 or something like that, so he presumably made some overwhelmingly massive thousands hour grind just to provide something to do for the scarce few autists who not only are willing to click on the same tree for a thousand hours, but also are willing to drop the existing game where they already do this. Of course people were expecting some level of grind, but BS currently unironically lacks a proper carrot dangling in front of you in order to encourage you to grind in the first placeHe probably thinks it makes sense for the grind to be longer when you have access to overnight skilling, but so far the only effect it's had on me was making me change my approach to the game. I can only AFK one skill at a time so I'm going to play this like an idle game where I spend 2 minutes every morning refilling/setting up the next ~24 hour AFK activity just for the sake of getting slightly more XP or money in the event that the game eventually gets unfucked, something I frankly doubt is going to happen
>>1495274a public scoreboard is all you need for autists to spend 10 thousand+ hours picking the same mushroom.
Holy shit I just got like 8 levels off of completing the Episode 2 main quest, took me right to 21 scout.
What's the efficient way to get to 32 carpentry? Right now seems best to just farm the lv0 ashwood whatever right by the NPCs to not waste time walking. Then level 10-18 do the junipers that aren't that far. Then do the lv18 also one zone away from the NPCs. Idk after that haven't seen trees after (guessing they're going to reskin after that so can't see it yet LOL fcking stupid ass system)Can I sell the planks to the carpenter NPC? Any reason to save them? Being able to save myself a trip to the plank cart nigger would be amazing for this gigagrind.
>>1495119tried posting this on LEDDIT to maybe get some traction and get Andrew to buff xp rates or reduce the grind by a small bit in the earlier levels and got downvoted to shit. do they want their game to die? do you want to grind 8+ hours to get a banking QOL? (8 hours if you're dumping all of your money into logs for lvl 32 carpentry) I don't understand how they don't see 20+ bracket being incredibly slow, dog shit, and not fun to grind. allegedly it "gets better" at level 50, then maybe we should buff rates 20-50?? HELLO?? stupid fucking retards.
>>1495286Planks only come into play when you unlock shield crafting which isn't until episode 3 so if you don't care about regrinding for planks or are f2p just sell them.
>>1495291huh isn't shield crafting needed for the bank quest? you mean I can't do it until ch3? fuck
>>1495292I think that might be the sole exception but I haven't actually completed the quest myself so I can't say. It might just be a special quest exclusive action.
>>1495292unsure about crafting shields outside of the quest, but for the quest, you make the shields in the carpentry workshop
So an anon post that exp chart somewhere, and the exp rate looks to simply be the same exact exp rate as 1-20 except just straight multiplied by like 5 or 6, anyone know more?
i almost went to bed without starting a passive activity that is going to be a hard habit to get into
Lv20 Carpenter Chopsticks (1 knowledge pt)100set (4s200c) + 100jars (2s) = 6s200c1 chopstick = 9xp & 17c & 20s100 chopstick = 1s700c & 900xp @ 2000s(33min33s)----------------4s500c & 33.33min for 900xpNot worth it unless you leveled lumberjacking off with carpentry and also do the lv20 lumberjackoff passive for free hickory, making the cost only in the 100jars (2s) for a total net less of 300c per 100set.
>>1495289I'm kind of torn on how to feel about the game in its present state, because even if I would like to see it flourish and become something better after the first batch of updates, there are so many things in the game's underlying systems and the thoughts behind them that should set off every possible alarmAndrew & Company most certainly know how to create a game, but it's rather evident that they have no clue how to design one
>>1495326Well except you need a lopoff tool which is like 40 or 70s I forget l00l (tho I figure you want all tools eventually anyways)
>>1494465The gear in this game is so shit and boring.
>>1495326Nvm I got 1800 exp total after doing one full set. Guess each iteration is 0.005 but game just rounds it to 0.01, not bad actually and worth it since you can't burn through your silver because of how slow it is and getting 32 carp 32 hunter is utterly gamechanging after you finish that quest
>>1495346Oh and you get 3s 400c not 1s 700c for crafted+sold hickory chopsticks set.
>>1495326dunno about other anons but i did like 1000 ash trees and turned those into planks, swapping to rough when i got thereonce i got to 27 wc i swapped to rough pine and by that point i only needed like 500 logs to get to 32about a day of hard graft, not too bad for the utility you getgot a shitload of silver too, almost a gold actuallyits one of those set up things, its an investment for lateri don't give a shit about maximum efficiency or "xp waste"
>>1495356Pretty sure that's going to be maximum or close to it anyways because you're grinding right at the banks/carpenter and don't need any tools besides the first
>>1495350Nvm again im being retarded, baskets to afk get hickory are 2s per set. Also the tool to tree lop hickory is like 60s. Kinda meh trade off. Still good to level up crafts to 20 and have the tool so not a loss there, but I think I might just buy hickory sets instead of using up afk hours to save 1s400c.
>>1495374not bad, well i got 32 now so i'm fucking freefree to...grind some moreironically only did this because traversing the world was so fucking gay but now we have minimap click movement its not so badoh fucking well
>>1495392wait we do ? fuck I didn't try it recently holy fuck can we cross the entire map in one click now? I had no clue holy shit
>>1495394>can we cross the entire map in one click now?Only one room
>>1495395What the fucking hell this is some bait and pull shit, literally pointless I can already click from the end of one room to another without the map. Oyvey
>>1495394only up to the next screen sadly but someone said this was because of performance reasonsonce they figure out how to make pathfinding less intensive on server calcs or whatever we'll all be able to zoom across the entire map...probably
>>1495396yeah but it can be priceless when you're in two big rooms and you want to run from one thing to the other like pic related
>>1495399>>1495397I take it back it still makes traversing long distances easier that I can see on my map, which is pretty seamless when I zoom out max.
this made me realize the only reason i got into runescape was the awesome medieval early-2000s soul grand open world that made me want to explore that no game ever has matched. in brighter shores, it seems like the world is only created for the game mechanics to exist, while in runescape the game mechanics are added on top of the world. they've evaporated away all the soul and only set pieces where you grind remain. the original 2001 world of runescape had 1000x more soul than this game
>>1495625I firmly agree. If anything it even made me appreciate the original RS even more even though I don't play either version of the game any more. I was browsing the steam forums where I saw some guy proudly proclaiming how the game gave him the same vibes as 2004 RS and I just don't see it; even at launch RS2 was infinitely more interactible with every object in the world having an item you could examine, (almost) every tree that you could cut down, et cetera. This game feels like a tame parody in comparison
>>1495625runescape back then had a distinctly more gritty "medieval" feeling art style as well. Not a whole lot of old textures around these days, but the ones that ARE still around stick out like a sore thumb.
koot from 8 hours of sleeping peacefully. shat all over the fishing xp rate.
>>1495701Old software in general felt kind of occult-ish. Now all we get is fortnite 3.0.
I understand why they made combat skills separate for each zone but why is it the same for combat equipment?The equipment in episode 2 is literally the same as episode 1 in every way but with worse stats.Swapping items between episode is tedious and it feels awful when you are clicking to swap into inferior equipment.
>>1495918I've heard you can attune your equipment to whatever chapter you want using the obelisks in each area. Not sure how though. Might have to unlock chapter 4 though.
>>1495918>Swapping items between episode is tediousThe quartermaster interface has an "autoequip" button.
>>1495938You can only attune equipment that's unattuned. Some items will drop that way but it's rare.
>>1495918yeah having a blacksmith shop that you can buy level 0 common equipment from for each chapter would be nice.
>>1496083realistically they should start you with a set of level 0 gear. we're working for the town guard, and the captain sends us out on a scouting party completely unarmed. shit's goofy.
>>1496084maybe i just want some more money sinks for all the silver I'm making cooking stew
>>1495714yeah, i'm for sure going to focus on alchemy for my afk time, seems to have pretty good rates. (and also the cape will probably look based as fuck)
I don't like having to check Gower's personal twitter for updates why isn't there a website for this game?

>>1496412fuck you
>>1496412Guardian only looks shit early onAfterwards they turn into a mix of vikings and treebeard ents it's cool as fuck
>>1496412So what exactly do those classes actually do? Does it just change your damage type to one of the three elements?
>>1496607it changes your total level number to green, yellow or blue
>>1496607you're gonna sometimes get gear that is exclusive to either of the 3 classes.Also you gain damage vulnerability to either of the 3 corresponding elementsiirc you eventually unlock special attacks exclusive to your class , but i haven't gotten those yet
>>1496607>>1496635gear is class-specific and damage types are tied to weapon types (so e.g. a kanabo, one of the classless items from episode 1, always does tempestae) so classes affect you in that way>Also you gain damage vulnerability to either of the 3 corresponding elementsi don't think it's inherent vulnerability, i think it's just a weakness of that class's armormy hammermage gear all has low arborae resistance for example
I don't want to play any more. I just afk now.
While ash planks are probably more efficient I decided I wanted to do pine for a bit since it's only 3 rooms away from the carpentry building and you don't have to deal with hostile mobs getting there.
>>1497018you'll grow to love the aggressive mobs in chapter 1/2. there are some in chapter 3 that instantly engage you the moment you step on any adjacent tile. you'll be using the escape spell a lot.
>>1497019Sounds awful, can't wait
>>1497019if you mean the tentacles, those rooms are laid out so that you can avoid getting near them if you walk carefully
>>1496308isn't cryo the only one with smithing?
>>1497269in episode 3 you get access to 3 different weapon crafting skillsone makes gear for each of the three classes

Can you afk combat with aggressive mobs? or do they just not aggro if you go afk

New Gower Patch Notes DropBrighter Shores Patch notes 11th Nov 2024Mostly small bugfixes in today's update. More QOL improvements coming tomorrow! - Make "Prepare for battle" interface indicate the exact reward penalty for fighting low level foes, rather than just saying "less XP".- Slight combat balancing adjustment so fighting low level foes isn't so overpowered.- Make crime den raids require handcuffs, such that upgrading your handcuffs gives the expected XP boost. - Remove bogus stats from passive combat npc cards. - Fix bug with combat toad drops.- Fix 'divide by zero' error showing up during combat.- Fix detective investigation XP bug (the amount of XP was fixed on Saturday, this update only updates the notification to match).- Fix spelling mistake on one of the adathril cards.- Fix various places where we had accidentally written 'is is'.- Minor chat filter improvements.- Fix appearance of map interface for "mine road east". - Fix co-op woodcutting XP (we actually fixed this last Friday but forgot to mention it :)

Brighter Shores is either somebody described Runescape to another person who had never seen anything about it and tried to replicate the game. Or an experiment in making the most boring game possible.
>>1498384Feels good to not sweat the grind efficiency so much. Got 30 WC to go along with my 32 Carp.
more like brighter snores!
>>1498362in runescape i had a stack of 100k rune arrowshere i've got 4 rocks that hit 1 damage
Game is shit and bad. Literally 0 reason to play this over osrs.
This game is full blown GRIDS.
This game is unironically trash. People only lap it up because they're desperate + a former Runecuck dev made it. (Oh he's gotta be a genius!)
>>>/v/694040037wait, there are GOBLINS in this game?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxtxIVRiOZk
holy FUCK this thread is deadlast reply was mine
>>1502412i think most people moved to the vg thread>>>/vg/bsg
Brighter Snore players be like >yo this gameplay is fire
I honestly don't remember RS combat and skilling being this boring but I guess I forgave it since it felt like it was in service of the world design and questing. While I don't mind the world design there's really nothing to look forward to right now in terms of questing. It just feels pointless.
>>1503823People have spent decades saying that the quests were what made RS feel unique among its peers. Similarly the Gower brows have talked about how they liked making quests reminding them of the point and click adventure games they grew up with.Despite this they somehow thought it'd be a good idea to not only make nothing more than a tiny amount of quests for this game's first areas, but to also lock half of them behind obscene requirements that most players in the beta likely won't ever reach. Not really sure if they're genuinely stupid or if they've just lost their passion for quests
>>1504122The few quests we do have feel very much like old school RS quests. They're just behind such obscene skill reqs that no one can play them.
>>1502947>>1503100you could spend 5 years in a coma and somehow make better use of your time than this

>>1502426>no threadrip
Well I don't blame anyone for not making at least a second /vg/ thread, there's really not much at all to talk about right now. Game is basically a really competent Free Alpha, arguably a Beta if you want to be generous. This board is at least slow enough that this thread will stick around for a while.
>>1504999yeah the game needs a lot of work. ill check back in when the dwarf area is released
why are these crime den guys wearing black and white prison stripes? are they escapees? why not change out of their easily identifiable clothing?
the minefighter grind is hell
>>1493598Those modern emotes look so sterile
Any word on if skill reqs will be lowered or new quests coming out? Do we have a roadmap towards episode 5?
>>1505962nopei got the impression that andrew is doing most of the development work himself
Game is totally dead and there's no coming back. The v and vg threads died off so fast. No posts here anymore.
Nothing to actually talk about.
im glad shit mmos like this one die
Giant fucking wall when you hit 20 fishing or what? the lemon pufferfish give barely any XP.
>>1506386XP to the next level quintuples at level 20 because that's when you get access to KP.
>>1506400I was under the impression the AFK activites were really bad but I guess after reading the thread I should AFK fish to 25 so I can do this quest.
>>1506403AFK activities are better than nothing but definitely not good XP compared to active training.What you use the KP for is to convert it directly to XP. You always get 1/4 of a level, until you hit 200.
>>1506403Afk activities seem hit or miss. This was a level 100 activity with zero material use.
>>1506565How did you get to 100 alchemy already? It seems like such a slow grind.
>>1506599Focused it for a few days because I hated how small the 50 cape looked. It really picks up once you unlock the level 30 potion, but potent potions are pretty tedious at first. You eventually get into a pretty good flow state.
>peak is already under 10kIt's over isn't it?
>>1506865>It's over isn't it?Of course it is, the game kinda sucks shit and is basically just an engine demo without a game. Most discussion in and out of game are morons saying 'but its early access' or 'Runescape took 20 years to get good' are ignoring that this has been in development for supposedly 10 years and was just a couple of months away from being Andrew Gower's idea of launch ready which is including special attacks, player trading and leaderboards. None of those things would change the fact that there is basically 0 content other than doing the grind you do at level 1 all the way to 500 without any change. I honestly don't know how people convince themselves that the game is magically going to get better when the dogshit you're playing is what the creator thought was good; it might be time to wake up and realize that maybe Runescape was a lucky time/place for the Gowers and they aren't actually good at making what people think is fun without 10+ years of being dragged around by fans and being told what to do, but at that point other games are also 10 years ahead.
If anyone's like me and bought a one month sub on the first day, don't forget that the cheapest sub plan also auto renews it. Just cancelled mine since I figured there's not much of a reason to play the game right now; in the past week I've only logged in for like twenty seconds per day to set my character to AFK combat for the next 24 hours
I plan on doing all the quests then checking out
Leaderboards finally dropped
>>1507446you faggots have no control huh?
how the fuck is there already someone at 475 guard

I am the brighter shores whore.
I just levelled 41 mine combat and 27 blacksmith. I like blacksmithing and hoping for gear drops. I got a level 34 epic leg piece. I compared the "deflection" stats before and after upgrading from a level 18 rare leg piece:>from 27.70% for the regular damage type>to 28.84%(1 - 0.2770) / (1 - 0.2884) = I take 0.9842 damage now whereas I would have taken 1 previously. That's a 1.60% reduction in damage.My max hp is 174. A 1.60% damage reduction is like having an extra 3 hp (rounded up). Epic!>>1507446I cancelled it the minute I bought it. No need to remember to unsub. I'd rather remember to resub.
This game is unfinished. What was andrew thinking?
>>1517540Quite frankly I don't think he was thinking

>>1525889genuinely curious why you chose to grind guard past 200 before even setting foot in crenopolisif you didn't have membership i'd understand...
>>1525894I wanted my unique name before anyone could take it and then I have the determination to reach level 500 even though I know I won't make Top 200. But being Top 50 will suffice.
>>1525896i respect the grind but if you want a high spot on the leaderboard and you're willing to grind to 500 i feel like any other combat skill would be better
>>1525899I wanted to compete where the entry was at the lowest. Since everyone starts at Episode 1, the grind there would have the most competition. That's my logic anyways.
>>1525912>Since everyone starts at Episode 1, the grind there would have the most competition.see, that's exactly why i personally wouldn't grind guardbut more power to you bro, good luck on the quest

A couple of answers from a recent Q&A with Andrew and his team>"we are thinking of rethinking combat professions quite dramatically, to not have a separate combat profession per episode.">I didn't expect the community to care so much about reducing how many times they need to click the mouse, even for relatively infrequent actions.>In the long run we will probably avoid changing professions in already released episodes>We are not planning on doing noted items
>>1531972>We are not planning on doing noted itemsThis one blows. Clearing excess storage for quicker navigation is a pain in the ass. Either give us a trash bin, or give us notes.
>>1531988Or give us the ARPG treatment and free teleports back to a main city hub to salvage/bank shit. At least with this you have a small chance of socializing with people vs a function that straight up lets you salvage/bank on the spot then back to afk grind.
What's the drop rate on these hats? How terrible is it to collect all 20?

>>1382327Never played runescape before. Tried this, got to crenopolis and level 20+ on most skills in there. I have no idea how anyone can be so mind numbingly dull that they would find it interesting getting a skill up to level 500. It's literally just a minigame... that you do a hundred thousand times.
>>1551991based retard
somehow the saddest thread on the boardyou can see how the game died in real time by scrolling through the posts
the only reason i played at release was FOMObut after experiencing it for hours it's just not it, the combat system itself is absolutely horrendous and so is the enemy design.OH YOURE LVL 20 IN X FIGHTING SKILLHERES THE SAME MONSTER BUTTTTT A DIFFERENT COLOR .. AND YOU CAN ALSO KILL THE LOWER LEVEL ONE ON THE SAME LOCATION!

>>1552608Combat is fun if you fight enemies that require you to abuse terrain to get all four shots out before going in for melee. This is assuming you are drunk or stoned, of course.
>>1552960>This is assuming you are drunk or stoned, of course.Coincidentally this happens to be a major demographic of the OSRS playerbase so maybe they were onto something
>>1382327When I get burned out on pantheon ill probably check it out. Been playing that shit all week. I expect I'll get tired of it soon but right now its all i want to do. In the meantime, how is this game? I missed out on runescape so it would be cool to get in on this one. Are the servers alive and all that? Is soloing an option if i cant find groups? Tell me what you like about it because its definitely on my list.
>>1388624Modern games are soulless dogshit. Why there is this new push to go back to the old days. I'm all for it, honestly.
My professions.
Latest news from Andrew
Combat professions are being merged. Andrew actually caved.
>>1572154It's for the best, the existing combat leveling is fundamentally retarded in every aspect no matter how you slice it. I completely understand where Andrew states how every new episode everyone would start from scratch in combat levels, but the average joe would utterly despise going from looking epic to a peasant every new episode.You simply have to keep the lowest common denominator in mind and its people who chase the glamour.
never played runescape and am looking for a mmo to play, should I start this? does it have a bright future?
>>1572266No.
>>1572266With all sincerity, no. In the unlikely event that it does become a good game somewhere in the future (it won't) it will take at least a year to get there and until then you'll have fuck all to actually do in the game. If you can get past the outdated graphics and clunky gameplay I'd honestly encourage you to try out either version of runescape instead since at least those are here to stay.
>>1572373Rs3 is dying. OSRS is in a good place though, I agree
>>1572373Kill yourself, runetranny.
