I've been playing this again for a couple months and I'm enjoying myself. It sucks about the raise in sub cost though. I play it while doing other things like studying for certs or watching YouTube vids. Is it actually a good game or is it just nostalgia goggles? I think I'm sem-enjoying myself.
>>1417292Free armor trimmingOnly 3 gold
I have no nostalgia for the game. It should be objectively the least fun game ever, but I find myself enjoying it a lot too. I play it the same as OP and, I don’t know, it’s cool to see the world slowly opening up as you progress.
>>>/vg/osg
>>1417857/vg/osg is filled with the mentally ill that spam reply to themselves, usually gibberish. I can understand the anon wanting a sane thread.>>1417292$14 or 12m for a 14 day bond kills it for me. Bonds have doubled in price in less than a year even though they only went up 12.5% IRL.I would saying paying for membership would be worth it for 3 or 4 months if you're a new player. The community is great and vast.
>>1417292i was using it as a second monitor game but eventually just stopped altogether >>1417857thats literally the worst thread on this site besides /xivg/ give op a fucking break he just wants a sane osrs thread
I played since release up until around 2022. I missed the game for a while before remembering /v/scape was a thing. It's a much more appealing game to me. Modern OS feels way more like a pserver than vscape. Despite being at a all time high I imagine your average player wouldn't even look twice at day of release OS.
I play solo and have always hated raids, then I lost my quest cape and they want me to learn ToB just to get it back. Similar situation with my music cape.The power creep since CoX/raids 1 is really, really bad too. All new bosses have to be tuned to endgame BiS so gp doesn't ruin the economy but the difference between BiS and 2nd BiS is usually over a bil gp and the clear time differences can be close to double. It's such an odd game that is now fully catering to the 0.000001% to stay alive.
>>1417857Absolutely fucking not
>>1417292I've been farming calvarion on my iron and having a great timeThe PKers are such dogshit, no scout required
>>1422148Night at the theatre is so fucking easy lmaoJust do entry mode, if you're not a retard you can do that super easily solo
>>1422168>Just do entry modeI'm aware but Verzik looked like a pain in the ass to learn and might need a few runs to actually get the kill. Felt like Jagex wanted to force others to learn ToB just to get players doing it since it's the least popular/most cancerous raid.
>>1422180You run and shoot, entry mode has almost no big mechanics to watch out forI did it first try, just dont forget to bring a poison weapon for the bug
>>1417292It's fun, but all the retarded shit Fagex keeps adding and changing has been tiring. I've considered switching over to vscape but haven't gone through the effort to make the jump yet, I'd miss all the crowds on OSRS too
>>1417292It feels good in the first half and then it just feels like a miserable grind. Not worth the price and hassle.
>>1420191>>1421231Wtf happened to /vg/osg? I don't remember it being that bad in 2019
>>1425094Zoomers and modern 4chan. They're ruined everything. Discord is the same.
runefest is over how are we feeling? interested to see what comes out of the custom gamemodes. imagine an actual 2007 server...
>>1417292osrs is lame as fuck nowall these gay updates ruined the core of what runescape truly isI'd much rather play a 2010 version now instead of this abomination
Is there any good 1x private server that plays like the original for free?
>>1426015no /v/scape is your best option
>>1426081It's fucking gay how private servers never replicate the original experience
>>1426015I think vscape has 1x if you play an ironman, else it's 2.25x. Other than that it's the most accurate rsps
>>1426015You can download 2006scape and change the XP rates to 1x.Stupid grind autist.
>>1426395>>1427406What about 2009scape
>>1427447That works too.
>>1426013Hard disagreeDT2 is the best quest in the game by far, and pretty much everything in varlamore has been top tier
>>1426081Any server that doesn't have insane trannies running everything?
>>1427588no lol
join 2004scape, it's open source and currently in alpha.when beta comes out everyone's gonna start playinghttps://2004scape.org/90% of the quests are done
>>1427720Ignoring whether something like that would actually succeed, 2004 is a bit meh. No slayer and no fight caves makes combat grinding and end goal boring. No farming and barrows is nice though.
>>1428032i don't know anon, it took those features 5 years to get implemented into rs. I imagine players had fun without them for quite some time
>>1428648No one plays mmos for fun they're all min maxing end game autists
>>1428032vscape
I've been trying to get fang for a while now, kind of burnt out on toa, I mostly run high 240-300 now, I took a break to get 2200 total and pad my stats out
>>1428032>No slayer and no fight caveswtf I love 2004scape
>>1428999filtered
>>1428648I played during those times and while fun, the lack of any endgame challenge made it unlikely you'd do much outside of quests and getting base 60s. KBD was the sole boss, d long and msb were bis. 2004scape is from May 2004 so it lacks a bunch of stuff from the second half of that year.
>>1420191someone bought jamflex for 1 billion dollars so pay up PIGGY
>>1425094>2019its been bad since before it was /osg/ and was caravan general
>>1434165true but it's worse now objectively
>>1421231>picrelJudging by what Zezima is wearing and the private message, I'd guess this screenshot is from December 2006.
>>1428678>work hard physical labour job all day>come home and gym with gf>cook dinner and make tomorrows lunch>eat dinner with gf and watch show> chill on osrs doing whatever i feel like while listening to music I just love the graphics and its janky old charm. Guardians of the rift has been fun lately and I am working on getting the full outfit. I am working towards 2100 total, game is fun maybe you’re burnt out
>>1437830fuck you normalfag
>>1437847Osrs is a normalfag gameEveryone who plays it has a wife and kidsWhat are you? Some kind of IRL loner?
Died on Jad because of a disconnect.It's not even like fight cave is hard, it's just that I wasted the time doing it for a disconnect to ruin it all.
>>1443576Actually tragic
Give me something to work towards, bored at the moment and dunno what to aim for next, was thinking of learning ToA or something.
>>1444554are you maxed
>>1444577Nah base 85 for combats and base 70s for skills.
Varlamore soon.
New boss is underwhelming. feel one of those things where it's too easy in a group and tedious solo.
>>1444554Quest cape nigga
>>1452033Already working on that but burnt out on grinding for quests.
>>1452055Levelling for song of the elves?
>>1452059Nah, need to get combat up for DT2.
>>1452068Iron or main?
>>1452096Main.
>>1452147DT2 isnt super difficult, but yeah 80s - 90s in combat stats would helpThe only one i struggled with was vardorvis
Goading potions are so good
>>1425094It's literally filled with trannies and I'm not joking
>>1426013I agree as a whole. Way too much attention given to raids rather than world group content, quests, distractions and diversions, and minigames, but at the same time the playerbase has changed too. Way too sweaty and efficiency focused that they forget it's a game. >>1427575I actually really like DT2 as a quest and bosses are fun but I always lean towards group content since that's the draw of an mmo. However I cannot stand the forced gay pride parades, and now we're forced into a new skill that I didn't even like. I'm not coming back to osrs until project zanaris delivers a true 2007 runescape or maybe even a true 2011 runescape.
>>1429037base 60s is peak rs, change my mind
easyscape babs
When i get all elite diaries done i'm done with the game. Diaries are the best thing of this whole game.
>>1465085What about combat diary?
>>1465094it doesn't give the same level feelings of accomplishment
just got membership after playing F2P since 2006ish. working on waterfall, tree gnome village, and fairytale quests. what are good goals to work toward?
>>146552780+ agility asap
>>1465527Recipe for Disaster is a good early game goal.
vscape is full of schizos and annoying attention whores with extremely unfunny jokes, also its fucking dead for trading anythingits sad that its literally the best alternative to osrs
Can't wait for next june so I can get my tranny cape :3
is questing fun in this game? do you use quest guides or do them blind?
>>1468885yesi use the wiki since ive already done all the quests multiple times. whatever you do, do not use the quest helper plugin
>>1468885Questing is fun yeah.The quest helper plugin has different levels of "guiding" but really there's the bare minimum information or it telling you everything.I usually just check what stats/items I need for a quest.
>>1468885Questing is the only good part.
>>1468886>>1468890>>1468966what about using no guides at all? are they too cryptic
>>1469041No guides is fine. Some might be a bit weird for things like item locations if you have no idea.
>>1469041there is a somewhat entertaining youtube series about this going on rnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nCSYzdLPEk&list=PLZ1r83HxniSXUcxA2uRNHNWqyMDDRtUtZ
>>1469671It's an enjoyable series but gets annoying when he doesn't read things and gets upset at the game
>>1465527RFDFighter torsoFire capeNeitznot helmBarrowsPerilous moons
Raaaaaaaa!
>>1470244>>1470246I never bothered to get a torso because playing BA with randoms is torture and I don't wanna pay some fags to do it
>>1470249I got level 5 in every role solely with randoms and had a good time, but then again, I really enjoy the minigameAlternatively, you could ask clan mates to help out
>>1470249based and true
>>1470249If it weren’t for the diary requirements I wouldn’t even consider it myself, especially when you can just buy the new blood moon armour which has the same strength bonuses as the torso. The only real downside is the 1m+ repair cost and it does look kind of ugly imo. It’d be really nice if jamgex would just do away with the diary task all together so those of us that want nothing to do with that aids infested mini game can continue to keep our sanity for a while longer.
>>1455074>"way too much attention given to raids"in the same post"but i always lean towards group content since that's the draw of an mmo"raids were literally the 1st piece of group content ever added to this game that isnt a minigame
Slowly inching closer to quest cape just got DT2 to go
I need someone to think for meIs it better to use spirit seeds to get the high tier packs or just use those for xp?1 hespori seed in 63 packs so just thinking about trying to the bottomless bucket for qol
>>1477986Do tree runs for hespori seeds, I have like 100 spare seeds and did hespori every time it was up on the way to 99
>>1479820Awwww somebody wanted heckin (you)s
>>1479820that's RSC (the better game)
Where should I put my second spirit tree? Went with Brimhaven first since there's not a lot of direct teles and helps with farming run.
https://youtu.be/kxxE5VFS2yU
>>1481064I like etcetria for access to a bush patch and nearby kingdom weeds
>>1481174Good point, I keep forgetting to do kingdom stuff.
How do you get off the gp/h tradmill?Barrows/random clues is more fun but feels like I'm wasting time not doing vorkath or something...
>>1482323Just do what you feel like?
>all these illegal versions of osrsJagex just had to make it just between the fally riots when PK was removed(just put the thing back) and when GodWars was added or when that first big ass grand quest was put in the game,why all this voting shit?
>>1482384I still miss trading in world 2 falador. Even when I didn't need anything, just looking out for good dealsFeels kinda strange now most people live inside instances but modern players love that shit
i am here to vaguepost
>>1482323>How do you get off the gp/h tradmill?That's basically what all of late-game devolves into.Start an ironman.
https://youtu.be/g_oa0Xz5PgY
Jesus christ its so uglyI hate the HDOS look so much
>>1483913Plenty of Irons deiron late-game as they get burnt out going dry on some essential item
Any particular goals for leagues? I wanna use it to learn GWD and ToA.
>>1486977yeah i fucking hate all the hd shit i wish jagex never allowed it and never updated the game past release honestly
Is there a way to not take damage at tormented demons? Or is it always just guess the 50/50 on attack style?
anyone tried brighter shores?
>>1493531it's pretty mid
>>1482323Do you bond your account with GP? If not - then don't fucking look at it, just do whatever is fun.>>1487524You can literally do that right now if you have base 70 stats or something. It will be too easy on leagues and you wont learn much.
I'm starting hunter rumors at 75 hunterIs there a tier list of the rumors so that I can adapt my soft block list?Haven't done Eagle's Peak or Fossil Island so my list looks differentOr would are chins actually a good task and I should do Eagle's Peak since I will have to for master rumors anyways?
>>1497096Block Teco, run Aco
>>1497096Red chins are a good task to have since they're relatively simple.
>>1497110Ah fug I've been doing TecoRan them when rumors first came out and didn't scroll down far enough on the rumor pageI was using the list of rumors to try and figure out what to block but wasn't sure if chins were worth unlocking nowLike are they good xp/hr or just for getting pets?
The dogsword sounds really fun.
>>1417292never played RS but considering giving OSRS a try. my MMO background is in Ragnarok, FFXI and Eve Online, plus a little Aeon and FFXIV. Will I like OSRS?It looks like a comfy skill leveling simulator
>>1500768Just play F2P and see what you think.
>>1500768Similar to my MMO background, the only difference being RuneScape was my first MMO. I still enjoy it. But yeah, play F2P. I wouldn't even look at a "what to do" guide at first. Just hop in and mess around. Do quests to get a good feel for the world.
minin some barronite it feels so good to be a f2p uim skiller
I have died to Zulrah 30+ times this weekend.I don't even know why my brain can't understand this fight, it's not that hard.
>>1500768definitely give f2p a try and if you like it maybe sub. though the "skill leveling" part does become significantly slower by the midgame so keep that in mind.
>>1506026stupid bitch git gud
>>1500768idk anon i never played as a kid either and i'm currently multilogging skilling on 2 character so yeah i would say i'm having fun i'm gonna sub soon probably
>>1506068I know I am stupid.
sorry I didn't mean it keep practicing you got this
>>1506026use leagues to practice if you really need it.thats what I did to learn the fire cape fight
>>1417292osrs is for trannies and moslems
>>1506026There isa very nice rotation plugin that will help if you want to learn that first. Also be ready to guzzle food in mage phase as he is just as likely to chuck range attack during it.
