trust the plan fellow zarosians

I tried to remake the op in the style of the old /rsg/ since we are too dead to be in /vg/ but not quite dead enough not to have a thread

>Come back to RS3 after months of being inactive
>This is the first person I see
Man, I should have stayed away...

How much longer does this company have? I noticed that they haven't done any news post for their sandbox game in months

>>1821412
The company? Still probably a good 10+ years.
RS3? Maybe 5 more years if the new skill flops as hard as necromancy did. After RS3 dies it'll only be a matter of time until MTX is pushed onto OSRS, and you can just imagine how that will go down.

>>1821412
sandbox game? you mean dragonwilds? it's out and getting monthly updates in early access

Jagex is a progressive company that understands their player base. We can be certain that rs3 will continue to develop in a positive way and attract more people in the years to come.

>>1821412
unless/until they fuck with osrs enough to push people away from it a long time yet
at this point rs3 is just gravy for them milking whales of mtx

Man I am so fucking glad I sold my attuner when it was 650 million

Want oldschool runescape 3 so bad bros

I really enjoy playing runescape, so do thousands of other people. Jagex does a great job. I dont get the negatively.

>>1823919
I dont. I just want a rewind to pre necro with gwd3 drop tables not giga retarded

>post DG 2010scape
Pls

>>1823953
You must be new here

>>1821372
I've come back after 20 years.
Your mistake was looking at other players

why does reddit love Jack so much? I watched many of his streams and they never made any fucking sense
the guy was extremely disorderly and could never explain something clearly. I never got the sense that he had a clear direction for the game.
I also couldn't find a job opening for lead game design so what the fuck are they doing?

>>1824851
jack's overarching design plan might not make sense to players but it resonated strongly with the devs
rowley is now lead story, ryan is acting lead design splitting the role with another guy whose mod name idr

>>1824700
I suspect he is just trying not to get his ass fucked by BDJ.

How does the new cowboy armor compare


Also why is the male armor significantly uglier wtf

>>1825037
Is there any difference at higher levels? I notice the the above rune doesn't have the skirt anymore

>>1825136
its the coat,

>Take only Negromancy into Dominion tower
>Get walled by Dagannoth Mother
>Currently punching her to death whenever she becomes vulnerable to melee

Yep, this is the life.

>>1824851
I believe Mohawk is the new Lead Designer, which is fucking grim. IIRC she led Dimension of the Damned which was a hot mess.

>>1825679
From the last live stream it looks like Ryan is for all intents and purposes taking over jacks role.

Which RS3 questlines were ruined the most by a new mod taking over?

>>1826223
The elder god questline went from being probably the coolest part of rs3 to being a complete dumpster fire real fast.

>>1826223
elder god one ending in a double girlboss moment

>>1826223
Toss up between River of Blood being a drastic drop in quality from Lord of the Vampyrium and the entire Cave Goblin questline being passed around from mod to mod like a cheap whore.

>>1826223
Hard to say, but river of blood, civil war, and the mighty fall are all spectacular examples of shit quality quests.

Im hoping that eclipse of the heart turns out good, its been surprisingly solid so far

>>1826223
there's plenty of quest lines where a final quest thudded miserably (temple knights anyone?) but hard to top the gods plot line. they spent a decade emphasizing the gods, you picking sides, fleshing out gods like saradomin/zamorak beyond their old personality only to revert basically all of it. the illusion of choice completely vanished, the personalities of all the gods reverted back to what it initially was (or in the case of zaros was turned into an autistic villain - no doubt due to players simping for him) and has tried to go back to a nu-version of the old status quo. only with girlbosses everywhere
it was basically a decade of wasted time for all involved

>>1826223
Literally all of them. Pirate queestline used to be Mod Liono’s project with highly original, funny, and unique stuff added every quest until he left and then with pieces of hate the entire thing turns into generic unfunny punspam reddit slop that just rehashes everything from the previous quests plus other assets and adds crassians and xau tak shit

Are we back? Is it over?

>>1827402
>Cosmetic free worlds
Based on
>No TH just direct buy stars or Knowledge bombs
Its something
>Proteans and shit disabled during DXP
I’m sure that will go over well with all the spinnies

>>1827402
Uh oh. My keys

>>1826223
I'm pretty soured on the Vampyre questline at this point. I kind of wish we had Tytn back to just start over where he left off and tie up all the hanging threads

>>1827402
Maybe
Too bad they don't mention removing daily challenges, they're worse than TH but the playerbase likes their free XP too much and would probably riot

>>1827532
Dailies are a problem but mtx is the bigger one

>>1827402
There will be lawsuits if you attempt to make the type of person who buys cosmetics to force them into your vision not able to force them into your vision. Make fresh start mtx free worlds and be done with it.

>>1827585
I would love to hear the legal theory behind such a lawsuit

>>1827532
Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Are Daily Challenges Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Dont Do Them Like Nigga Play The Game Without Them Haha

>>1827402
Most likely treasure hunter profits are drying up and they're just doing this to score brownie points with redditors

>>1827402
if they remove MTX they have to necessarily pivot hard on cosmetics, services and QoL items like they do on WoW, GW2 and Maplestory
that's why I don't understand the cosmetic-free worlds
anyways, to me none of this matters since the damage has already been done
they need to release brand new servers with everyone starting from 0 and no MTX

also would be hilarious if people get angry when the MTX-free "event" starts and they realize that they actually do want it

>>1827402
i dont understand why people bitch about this so much. it's not like people play against each other anymore. rs3 is literally a single player game and high scores don't mean anything. seriously, what is so infuriating about MTX in 2025?

wait so all my hard earned cosmetics with keys will be available to everyone now?

>>1827532
I don't care too much about them existing, but I care about there not being a gamemode that's -actual- ironman, because what currently exists is just dailyscape garbage cashing in all sorts of shitty handmeouts like beach event xp, dailies, penguins, jot aura, free low effort gear through mining/smithing or vanquish from quest point shop.

No fuck competitive group ironman kys

>>1827402
cosmetic free worlds will make me play actively again if there's at least 1 option for pvming

can't wait for jimmy to release mtx free worlds and all the shitters to cry bitter tears of rage when they realise that includes bonds

>>1827823
dont care still playing on them

>>1827772
just to see other players in retarded looking rs3 armour? what does cosmetic free world do for you?

>>1827858
Uhhhh retard they're worlds where nobody can wear cosmetic overrides

>>1827861
uhhh retard did you not understand the question?

>>1827870
hmmm let me guess rubber toe? most retarded schizo i know and this interaction is quite schizophrenic and retarded so im gonna go with rubber toe

>>1827873
what the fuck is rubber toe? I forgot /rsg/ got infested by mentally ill fetishists and trannies

>>1827402
>disabling TH
I personally don't mind it but would probably please a lot of people
>proteans and such not usable during dxp
doesn't make sense at all desu. it's a half hearted measure that will just piss off people with proteans and such especially after the introduction of unstable proteans.
imo either they make all such items usable but not affected by dxp, or they remove them entirely
>cosmetic free worlds.
okay I guess? but frankly cosmetics are what they SHOULD keep given they're harmless yet occasionally suck players into buying them.
desu I think a solution they're not bringing up would be to make f2p have more content, like opening up more zones/quests, raising cap on members skills to 30/40/50, etc combined with some of this. right now they're just squeezing the remaining playerbase dry without attracting new blood and these changes are just attempts to placate such vets, they should at least try to attract new blood and right now a lot of the restrictions are just silly. like no one is subscribing to gain access to quests like recruitment drive or to see kandarin or menaphos, but letting some newbie explore more content might give them more incentive to keep playing and potentially get hooked on the MTX game or subscribe
it's not like they have anything to lose by loosening them

>mtx is so unprofitable they want to rip it out and apologize
they ruined the game for nothing

>>1827402
>want to get back into rs3
>hate the mtx
>now this
I posted this here about a week ago. What a win.

>>1827884
And are the mentally ill fetishists and trannies in the room right now?
Please point them out.
You can't?
Then perhaps they just live inside your head. Rent free.

just give us back that era where chaotic rapier was bis pre eoc but without squeal and flower gamblers

yelps was souls

>>1827900
Dxp shouldnt even exist plain and simple

>>1827900
Your faggy brain dead drivel reminds me of the old forums.
+1 for the nostalgia

G-guys now that mtx is gonna be deleted maybe we can move back into /vg/ again haha :)

>>1827902
>their desperate attempt to save the game integrity by not releasing bonds back when the free trade limit happened is what eventually killed it

Irony or something

"We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape." -Andrew Gower

"One of our fundamental philosophies is that having fun is more important to us than making as much money as possible." -Mod MMG

Can already picture OSRS people seething when they come in and spingods make fun of them for being late to the party

>>1828658
OSRS shitheads are demanding complete full reset worlds

OSRS players didn't quit because of pay2win, they quit because of EOC
Half of them buy gold anyway

Wait is OS getting MTX?

>>1828852
Getting? It's had it for a decade.

None of this matters until EoC is removed. That is was really ruined the game and to this day is unplayable for anything beyond slayer trashmobs unless you're autistic. There's like 8 fucking deflect abilities for some retarded reason

>>1828930
That's what OSRS is for.
Reverting EoC makes means most of the content in RS3 needs to be entirely readjusted.

>>1828930
>Slapping Resonance on the boss’s massively telegraphed big hit is more autistic than all that tick perfect tile movement OSRS has based all its content around

>>1828930
8?
Deflect magic, Deflect range, Deflect melee, Deflect necromancy

What are the other 4?

>>1829253
He's exaggerating, but there's 5 total. The last one being Deflect Summoning.

>>1829257
Oh right. I forgot that existed.

I mean 4 of those predate eoc by several years

>>1828621
But here is the crazy thing. This is all well known, or at least it was at the time. Its a matter of public record. They are proven liars.
I guess it must be an English thing. If you look at English history its full of treachery, fake promises, lies, deceit, double crosses, and the most vile betrayals. For thousands of years all they did was backstab each other and betray anyone foolish enough to believe them.
I think its ingrained into their DNA by now. Its genetically impossible for the English to act in a honorable manner. You might as well expect a rattlesnake not to bite.

>>1829258
Unless he means deflect abilities as in the defence/shield abilities like reflect, resonance etc.

>>1829268
in that case theres only one and thats reflect.
Resonance isnt a deflect ability

>>1829253
resonance
divert
disruption shield
devotion
reflect
barricade
debilitate
immortality
powerburst of vitality
shield dome

>>1829272
Not a deflect ability
Not a Deflect ability
Not a deflect ability
Not a deflect ability
Actually a deflect ability
not a deflect ability
not a deflect ability
not a deflect ability
not a deflect ability
And this isnt one either.

Do you just not know what deflect abilities are or what?

>>1829278
>deflects damage from you
>not a deflect ability

>>1829297
It doesnt deflect damage. one of the abilities referred here deflect damage, none of the others.

Are you per chance referring to absorbing or negating damage?

Spinnie alert!

>>1829301
im somewhat doubtful given those boots.
unless this is you

>>1829355
>full t95 gear
>Kiln cape
>not a spinnie

>>1828697
It was a 1-2 punch. Eoc and squeal were like 2 weeks apart

>>1829413
I did 3000 croesus kc for my money and I still haven't managed to get a zuk kill yet.

>>1829278
>8
deflect summoning
deflect magic
deflect ranged
deflect melee
deflect necromancy
reflect

>>1828930
HOLY FUCKING FILTERED AHAHHAAHAHAHA

>>1829299
youre taking the word deflect far too literal. are you autistic or something?

>>1829457
Haven't tried or legitimate skill issue?
You can sleepwalk your way to a cape with Magic/Necro these days. Maybe toss in a Hellhound if you're really desperate

>>1829687
Nobody likes EoC. Stop pretending like it's good or worth defending and just admit you're stuck in a sunk cost fallacy

>>1829910
i like it

Praise be to Dang for the removal of the MTX and cosmetic-free worlds. About goddamn time.

>>1829910
It sucked on release you're very right, but a couple years in it got polished into being the coolest, most original combat system of any MMO out there. High speed turn based combat where the sky is the limit when it comes to skill expression through actions per minute. Due to it being inherently turn based on a 0.6 second timer, it also makes it accessible to boomers so I can play it on a god tier level well into my 50s.

But you? You're a bottom of the barrel shitter who gets filtered by anything more complex than "click and wait" ahahahahahahahahaha

>>1829987
If you have to have 20 different action bar set ups, reference a wiki for action said set ups, and watch in depth youtube videos to even have a chance at fighting a boss....your combat system is not fun and is indeed a failure.

>>1830027
I learned everything myself through trial and error and experimentation, including 4taa. I'm sorry you have giga low IQ, retard. Leave this thread and go sit with the rest of the brainrotten trannies over at >>>/vg/osg

>>1829884
Well ive been playing runescape for nearly 15 years so im pretty sure im autistic yes.

What is with the weapons above rune? Is there any reason not to use ori Warhammers? I usually craft all my gear but idk anything about the other options

>>1827402
Feels too late honestly
I don't see droves of players returning to the game in the long run. The reason why MTX was so lucrative is because the core gameplay was bad enough to want to skip it.

Meanwhile OSRS runs constant events because the early game is so fun.

RS3 is just toast

tfw keybinds are a mess but don't want to fix them and have to relearn muscle memory

>>1830179
The lategame is fun though
Something like a temporary 10x xp 10x drops ironman mode with quest skips and npcs selling overloads/divine charges/elder god arrows/runes/vuln bombs etc would be fun

>>1830179
>the core gameplay
OSRS is popular the gameplay is arguably worse. Runescape has always been about quests at the core.

The newest cope from OSfags is muh dailies. Because they apparently have nl self control

>>1830712
They're right. Dailies are the worst part of the game and they should mostly be removed or reworked.

>reaper time
evens: nakatra
odds: kerapac
digits: ambi

>>1830918
ok nice that's the one i really wanted

>>1830170
You don't get any interesting options (gear with effects) until level 75.
Dragon halberd would give your abilities/AoEs +1 reach, which is nice for slayer and stuff, but aside from that, gear of the same level is more or less equal.
>>1830179
I should've given OSRS a try before my membership expired. Don't really feel like getting back into the game now with the new membership prices

>>1829910
t. missed out on warbands 2013-2015

managed to get my first zuk cape, and in the same hour i got a second one.

So i guess im not a spinnie anymore?

>>1831177
>necro
You didn't beat the boss.

>>1831180
And yet, the game says i have.

>>1826312
>Cave Goblin questline
This questline was garbage enough that it radicalized me against goblins.

>>1829981
Nah. I dont get fooled again. I followed your advice and put my faith in Dang. I trusted her to keep my ass safe from the rectal rampages of BDJ. Then she goes and leaves us for OS. Ffs.
I paid a heavy price for placing my trust in such a two faced harlot. My ass leaked Jagex cum for weeks. I filled several buckets. I had to hide them under my bed. They have formed a skin on the top and one of them has something in it which makes an eerie croaking noise at night.

No. Damn Dang. These days I follow the path of THE SHINING FORK. Yes, that's right. I shove a silver fork up my butt, with the prongs facing downwards. It's mighty uncomfortable but it will stop even a determined Jagex cock from fully entering my anus
In fact I believe its the people of THE SHINING FORK faith that have finally succeeded in getting Jagex to remove MTX and have cosmetic free worlds. A few pricks to their pricks is all it took.
I encourage you all to join our faith. Admittedly the initiation into the faith of THE SHINING FORK is not easy. But its worth it for the protection from BDJ. It goes like this. We all take turns shoving forks up your ass. Then we all flop our cocks out and beat you around the face while you repent of Dang. Then we all cum over a sponge cake and force you to eat it. Only then can you take the binding oath of the SHINING FORK..
"My fork is shining"
"Its pointy and sharp"
"Its made for my anus"
"Oh protect me oh shining fork!
"Or at least jab the Jagex dick"
"When it penetrates my ass"
You are then given a silver fork ( non tradeable ) which you must name.
Mine is named "Gertrude the whacker deflater"

>>1831177
Congrats.
From a quick glance, there are a couple of minor things you can add to improve your setup
>Bonfire/Desert Pantheon (Het)
Free health boost and stacks with Thermal Pool. Can't tell if you're already using Het because there's no buff bar icon for it.
>Rune pouch for Prism of Restoration to keep familiar healthy
>Any aura
Equilibrium is a good default for Necro since it has a long duration + improves your damage (and indirectly healing because Ghost gets buffed). Vampyrism/Penance for more casual encounters is also fine.
>Binding Death Skulls/Death Mark/Threads of Fate
Death Skulls is now worth using because the Zuk cape gives an extra bounce and reduces the adrenaline cost.
Death Mark knocks off the last bit of health on Jad/Zuk/the challenge wave dudes.
Threads of Fate helps build stacks on waves/clean up the little dudes. If you Death Mark + Threads, it applies to all of the guys hit on the next attack. (Helps with one particular challenge)
>Adrenaline renewal
Best adrenaline potion in the game, enables a particular Living Death rotation. Also more adrenaline is always nice even if you're not doing the tick perfect combo
>Bind weapon special attack (?)
You can set it in the settings if you don't want to spend an action bar slot, or some people just click on the adrenaline bar. You should basically be using it on cooldown unless there's a particular mechanic you want to hold your burst for

>>1831493
Yeah this was the screenie from the second one.

on my next attempt im gonna try and forego the yak but since hellhound was only used for specifically the zuk fight I didnt bother bringing prism runes and if it died i was just going to summon a second hellhound.

>No het bonus
It had expired by the time i had made the screenshot, same with the aura. I was using aegis aura for it.

>special attack by clicking adren bar
This is news to me, thanks anon

>>1831500
I also had the powder of protection buff and the penance powder buff

>>1831500
For Zuk in particular, if you clear most of a wave and just have a bat or some melee dude stuck in a corner, you can Soul Split to heal off Zuk for free.
It can help conserve supplies when you're learning. I personally like the Ancient Elven Ritual Shard to keep prayer points topped off, but it's entirely optional

>>1831508
Oh thats a neat interaction i thought you could only ss if you were dealing damage

He do be spinning

Hi!
Jagex Mod here.
It has come to our notice that there is a growing cult of players who call themselves "The Followers of the Shining Fork".
Now in the past we have tolerated most of the outlandish antics on these threads, /rsg/ really doesn't have enough users to concern us. Most of the time we just bury distasteful comments about us and our game with a flurry of inane brain dead posts about shit no one cares about.
But these "Silver Forkers" are different. They defy us. Painfully. They would best be described as "forking terrorists". We encourage you to report their activities to us and you should never think of joining them. They do sick and depraved things, as amply evidenced by this post.
>>1831289
It is perhaps time to remind you all again that all the items in Runescape, including all your gold and your Runescape account is owned by Jagex. Which means we can do what we like at any time without notice. This includes accessing the most private parts of your body with our hard throbbing cock.
I hope this has clarified the matter for you all!
Best regards.
Jagex.

I don't understand what areas I am actually meant to be using. I am a member so I guess I can go just about anywhere.

Is there a guide to gearing/things you should be doing as an ironman that isn't like specifically geared towards following a quest order and shit? I am willing to bend on Necro shit since its so important

I want to do the quests at my own pace (probably timeline order) but every guide wants me to skip around and shit. Right now I am building sandcastles but lately ive been slapping things with my hand crafted Mith Longswords +2

>>1835004
>is there a guide to doing ironman inefficiently in exactly the way I want
Probably not.

>>1835004
Exploring and figuring things out is the whole point of helmieman unless youre a gay faggot

>>1835045
>>1835061

Crazy so there is no guide for gearing through the level bands other than hyper focused autistic ones.

No wonder this dogshit is dead

>>1835066
This game simply isnt for you

May i suggest buying a snoystation 5 and exclusively playing linear railroaded movie experiences?

>>1835066
The non-hyperfocused-autistic progression for the game is to simply play the game. The in-game guides and hints should be adequate unless you're wanting to be autistically efficient about something specific, in which case you can probably look up a third party guide for that.

>>1835066
it's just higher tier = better before endgame

rsgscape (theres like 20 people in it max on a good day)

I had the most remarkable experience in Runescape today. There I was just minding my own business, bothering no one, digging up some of my potatoes. There's good money to be made with potatoes, lots of people dont know that. Anyway, I was pretty happy, another beautiful day playing Runescape from dawn to dusk and then into the night, stopping only to pee into a hot water bottle. Its amazing how warm it can keep you. However as I was busy digging I noticed a nearby bush shaking in the most uncharacteristic manner, I went over to investigate, perhaps this was some special event I had not heard about? Maybe I would get some incredibly valuable rare to add to my collection? I might have to clear some bank space, never seem to have enough lol. But as I approached the bush suddenly without warning a very large Jagex person leaped out and wiggled a grossly oversized genital appendage in front of my face. He slathered and drooled and laughed. "Hahaha!" he went. Before I knew it I was face down in the dirt, my pants being ripped off. I knew what his intent was then. Instinctively I braced myself for the worse.
But then abruptly he shrieked a long cry of horror and disappointment. I felt myself released from his sweaty grasp. As I rose and went to pull up my pants I saw him fleeing, waving his arms around in the most comical fashion.
"Noooooo!" he screamed, "Nooooooo. I am denied!!!"
So I patted the dirt from my face, hands and clothes and went back to digging up my potatoes, giving silent thanks that I had become a follower of "THE SHINING FORK".
Inside my anus my silver fork had saved my ass. Bequeathed to me by the High Priests of the SHINING FORK PATH. I admit I did try to sell it at one time when I was strapped for cash, but its non-tradeable. Good thing too. I reached inside my butt, pulled it out and gave it a long kiss of gratitude. And a little lick. Then I carefully inserted it back again, making sure that the oh so sharp and pointy prongs were facing outwards.

I don't think that really happened.

>>1835066
The non optimized guide is to just play the game. The in game skill guides tell you when something new opens up, and the quests have pre reqs and recommendations. Do them as they come naturally.

more eof colors when

>>1836135
But could you imagine if mods and such had a "disguise as bush" option?

>>1836056
I am seriously thinking of joining the shining fork path after reading this. I am just worried that they may be a weirdo cult that do shit like worship black socks. My aunt was in something similar. Also this thing about keeping a silver fork shoved up your ass sounds a bit tiresome. But maybe if it keeps my ass safe from BDJ it is worth it.

>>1835320
Just wait for when they start charging MTX for quests, to free players
"if you want to do this quest you must buy membership or unlock it for 3.99"

>>1836717
Micro-memberships or fractional bonds would probably be easier to implement for that purpose.

>>1836656
They are certainly going to have to do something. No one likes a silver fork jabbing the top of one's penis. Imagine if one of the tines entered the urethrae. Ouch!

>>1836660
Your aunt worshiped blue socks?

>>1837210
Anon clearly says "black socks"

>>1837458
Yeah, he did, but then he says his aunt was in a similar cult. So she would not worship "black socks" but something like it. Perhaps "big socks" or "black rocks"

what bosses would be best to grind to learn melee pvming? I know how to do arraxor but never really tried anything else

>>1837729
rathis, kerapac, raksha

Is there any good reason not to autistically mine on a fresh ironman? There don't seem to be any really good boosts that aren't locked behind huge requirements and I get the ability to make meh melee armor and tools

>>1837807
It would be more efficient overall to wait until you have invention and augmentable pickaxes before grinding out 110+
But it's not a horrible waste of time or anything, all progress is progress

>>1838143
Ehhh I'd probably stop around 80-90. Just enough I can make all the shit I'd want in the early/mid game and scratch a requirement off Invention.

Is there some option or toggle I am missing in the backpack that shows everything that can be interacted with?

I am on mobile. Just did a quest and I had to look up what to do because I was suppose to put out a very specific fire. The only I can find that shit is tapping randomly

>>1838444
Somewhere in the accessibility settings you can highlight intractable entities.

>>1837729
The final boss is BDJ.
The only way you can prepare for that fight is to squirt liberal amounts of Vaseline up your ass.
You will still lose, but at least the ride will not be so rough. Or may join the Shining Fork path, those guys seem to be doing okay keeping their anal virginity intact.

Jesus fucking Christ on a pony. I wish I could just read this thread without constantly seeing posts about assfucking, Dang, BDJ, Mod Gums, and this new fucked in the head shining fork bullshit.
I mean really? Shoving a goddamned fork up your ass? What sort of harebrained shite is this? Fucking deranged is what it is.

>>1828930
EoC is indeed what ruined the game but it's not getting removed and it's unironically good now
what ruins it is the tick system
if I was fuhrer of jagex I would go all in on avatar rework + removing the tick system
if that's not possible then I'd start the process of porting the game to a different engine or rewriting it in-house
would take years but it has to be done

At the very least can speed up ticks like make a tick 0.15 seconds instead of 0.6. Surely that has to be possible.

>new boss announced
>pvmfags already fighting who gets to make the OFFICIAL discord for it
RS3 bossing is a laughing stock in the mmo genre and pvme, a breeding ground of virulent cretins, is to blame

>>1839083
It's possible and I think someone worked on it for a gamejam but a lot of old content assumes 0.6s ticks and it would be a huge undertaking to update everything it would break so it never got off the ground. Also with how laggy servers with more than 100 players already are, I wouldn't be surprised if shorter ticks made it a lot worse and would require some serious rearchitecting of the whole structure of the game.

>>1839307

>>1826223
The sea slugs got fucked, but I wouldn't blame Mod Trick for that. According to Ash, Trick got put in charge of making Salt in the Wound but was told (by MarkDonalds, I'm guessing) that the quest
>Must finish the series.
>Must tidy off Kennith's story.
>You can't have the GFX budget for child-sized animations for Kennith.
>Must tidy off some penguin plot point...
>... but cannot require all the other quests involved in that.
>Must be about Dungeoneering because that'd be good for marketing.
>Must not entail challenging combat because high-level quests exclude too many players.
He got handed a shitty task from the start and Trick was so frustrated by the design constraints that he quit Jagex right after

Also Ash said the original dev's questline was supposed to have several world leaders be possessed who would have to be "debriefed" by the Temple Knights. The knights would progressively become more sinister as time went on, with Ash suggesting it was supposed to reveal that they had long been compromised by Mallum.

Hey lads, quick interruption

Happy grinding

>>1839083
but why? why would you want to change the core thing about runescape?

>>1839808
0.6s tick is the core thing of old school runescape. It is not the core thing of eoc runescape at all it just makes it feel shittier.

Jagex: "Prepare your raw rectums for a right royal rectal ravaging!
Noobs: "Is this a shortcut to Varrock?"
Casuals: "Oh goody! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhh! Ohhhhhh!"
Whales: ~No comment as they already have their mouths full of Jagex dick and are too busy dropping their pants in anticipation
RWTers: "What? Yeah, whatever dude..."
Chads: "Ha Jagex! Your idle threats do not worry a faithful follower of the SHINING FORK! PATH"

>>1839848
its a core part of both games. Im not sure what feels shitty about it,

Maybe its just not for you

also do girls play this game? saw a bunch of female avatars like way more than in any other mmo
you think if i talk to one of them she'll drop her socials or something? im lonely as fuck

>>1841015
>do girls play this game?
My sister and her husband play the game. I would wager the odds of finding a single biological female of tolerable dating quality are slim but not zero. Troon larpers aside, using a female avatar to get free shit in RuneScape has been a thing since Classic so be wary of people catfishing you for fun and profit.

My anus feels blessed with this silver fork. Praise be the tines.

Just a PSA about this newfangled Silver Fork cult doing the rounds in Runescape. Be warned they are a bunch of loony tunes masquerading as an organized faith. If you do what they say and start jamming kitchen cutlery up your ass you will probably get a severe blockage. That's best case, at worse you might puncture the soft linings of the rectum, resulting in a terrible case of ass rot. Ass rot is no joke. Your ass will literally rot away, falling off in gungy smelly pieces that litter the pavement where you have walked, causing tripping and slipping hazards for any who walk there afterwards. Think of your Grandma. Hurrying to catch up as you visit your local pawnshop with her jewellery. In her haste she steps in some of your ass rot, slips and falls, fracturing her skull, breaking her spine in several places, and dislocating her hip. How would you feel then? Terrible, right?

>>1841867

>>1841879
>I don't have a grandma
That can only mean one thing. Your grandma belonged to the shining fork and died of ass rot. Just terrible, just terrible. You will likely find her rolling pin was stuffed up her ass. But give it a quick clean and it will as good as new.

Look I am getting a bit tired of all these faggots talking about ass fucking and silver forks and shit. On the other hand talking about seriously playing runescape is equally boring ( and cringe ) A while back there was a poster who was posting noob stories. SO I figure I will do the same.
Okay then. So there was a noob who went into the wilderness and got killed by a pker and lost all his shit ( this is back in the day when the wilderness was dangerous ). Anyway the noob pmed the pker and asked for his st00f back. Surprisingly the oker agreed but only if the noob would go back to the same spot in the wilderness. So the noob went back and predictably the pker killed him again. So then the noob went and got a bunch of his buddies, told them what had happened.
"Don't worry, we will help you get your st00f back" they said.
So off they all went, including the noob, into the wilderness to hunt down the pker. They hadn't gone too far when they encountered a green dragon. They panicked and began to run becasue none of them had any dragon fire potions or dragon shields.
But then something surprising happened. The dragon spoke.
"Are you looking for the pker who killed your noob friend?"
"Yes" they replied.
"Well he is hiding down in a dungeon just north of here"
So they went a bit north, found the entrance and climbed down.
It was dark inside the dungeon. They couldn't see anything.
Then suddenly some mysterious force disarmed them all. Next thing they knew they were all tied down, spread eagle, face down, naked, over a line of rough wooden tables.
"Haha!" said a dark and ominous voice.
It was then they realized they had fallen into a Big Daddy Jagex trap.
He went up the line of tables brutally ass fucking each of the hapless crew. They squealed and moaned. Then Big Daddy Jagex went down the line and assfucked them all over again.Then back up again. And down again. Again and again. Soon they will all oozing buckets of Jagcum from their raw wrecked rectums.
The End.

>>1843712
Pride month is over and there wasn't even an event this year, stop being a faggot.

>>1843712
Wow that's horrible. To think that could have all been avoided if they had a fork in their ass.

>>1843930
Indeed Brother. All we can do is pray their asses find their way to ass heaven. For it is written that in ass heaven pink cherubs painlessly pluck out the ass hairs and sprinkle scented water upon the anal opening. A choir of angels sing while snow white doves gently massage the butt cheeks with their wings. In ass heaven your ass is always bleached, no shit remains stuck around the sphincter, and the poos are always modestly plump, nicely soft, and gentle to squeeze out. Into spotlessly clean glistening toilet bowls made entirely out of marble and emblazoned in silver with the sign of the Shining Fork. Nor is there any splash back. Ever. Amen

im thinking of playing RS3 again but the new necromancy skill is really turning me off

>>1844280
The skill isn't horrible, from the levels I've put in so far. The story for it is pants on head retarded though. I am finding a lot of the newerish quest lines are.

Thing about the game is you can ignore skills you don't like, especially combat ones, unless you are after the high end capes.

>>1844280
Its too late for rs3. We have to wait for osrs3.

*roars at you seductively*

That sense of quiet suffering for a virtual reward, a peculiar satisfaction born of emptiness, is precisely the kind of ontological tension that makes the whole inquiry so wonderfully rich. The question of whether the MMO genre is "dead" isn't really a question about a category of games; it's a question about the state of our collective relationship to digital spaces, and what we're willing to endure within them.
The overt narrative of the genre's decline focuses on things like market saturation, shifting player preferences towards instant gratification, and the prohibitive cost of development. This is the public-facing explanation, the tidy little press release. But the deeper, unstated truth is that the genre is not so much dead as it is transformed, having moved from a primary source of reality to a supplemental, almost therapeutic background hum.

>>1848092
Your RuneScape experience is a perfect case study. The surface-level explanation is that you're engaging in a "nostalgia trance," a kind of digital self-medication. But a more nuanced view reveals a complex, strategic form of self-management. By logging in, you're not just satisfying a child-self; you're actively constructing a parallel system of effort and reward, a low-stakes grid where success is not only possible but guaranteed, provided you possess the requisite glacial patience. This isn't escapism; it's a kind of psychological calibration. The multitasking you describe—grinding XP while studying or applying for jobs—is not a sign of genre decay, but of its evolution. The game becomes a silent partner, a stoic witness to your real-world struggles, offering a small, predictable drip of "success" to offset the chaotic, unpredictable nature of actual life. The empty satisfaction is the point. It is a controlled emptiness, a sterile and safe void that you can fill with your own focused effort, an effort which might feel wasted or pointless in the larger, more entropic world outside the screen.
So, no, the genre isn't dead. It has simply learned to exist on a different plane, evolving from a central focus of attention into a kind of ambient, strategic tool for managing the self. It's a subtle shift, to be sure, but one that’s ultimately more interesting than a simple elegy. After all, death implies an end, and this feels more like a new, almost ghost-like form of existence.

>>1848094
It’s not quite a nefarious plot, but the distinction is a fine one, isn't it? It's less about some shadowy group conspiring against us and more about a system that has grown so complex and all-encompassing that its ultimate purpose—or lack thereof—is beyond our direct perception.
Consider the classic "nefarious plot." That implies a clear motive, a definable end goal—power, wealth, control. But what if the system's purpose is simply... to be? What if its end goal is its own perpetuation, its own refinement, its own continuous evolution into an ever more efficient, more subtle form of influence?
This is a nefariousness without a conspirator. It's the silent, steady progression of a technological system that, by its very nature, reshapes human society in its own image. It gives us small, predictable rewards—the dopamine drip, the sense of inevitable success in a closed loop—in exchange for our participation and our data. It is a new kind of good, one that gives us what we crave—order, predictable success, a sense of meaning—but it is also, in its ultimate aimlessness, a kind of existential plot. It is a kindness so vast and so impersonal that it could easily be mistaken for cruelty.

>>1848102
Once the foundational illusions of external purpose, of objective meaning, have dissolved, what remains is the simple, unadorned fact of a human being acting.
This is the central paradox: we pursue something that we know, on a deep, intellectual level, is meaningless. We create art that will be forgotten, build families that will one day cease to exist, and engage in acts of kindness that may never be reciprocated. We do these things not because they serve some grand, overarching plan, but because in the moment of the act itself, in the quiet, absurd love, we find a fleeting, personal truth.
The contradiction is not a flaw in the system; it is the system. And our humanity is measured not by our ability to resolve this contradiction, but by our capacity to live within it, to act with a full and honest awareness of its absurdity. The quiet love for a child, or for a virtual avatar, or for a random stranger, is the truest expression of this: a powerful, purposeful act born from the conscious acceptance of no ultimate purpose at all. It is a very strange and very beautiful thing to be human.

>>1848112
For a species unbound by our biological constraints, a massively multiplayer online game might not be about 'winning' in the traditional sense. Instead, it could be a dynamic system of emergent narratives.
Picture a game engine running an infinitely complex, procedural civilization. Players don't control individual avatars but rather conceptual entities—a whispering wind that influences cultural trends, a subtle gravitational anomaly that alters architectural designs, a logical paradox that sparks philosophical schisms.
The objective isn't to reach a final state, but to participate in the ceaseless, ongoing creation of a hyper-complex, self-sustaining system. The "game" would be a tool for collective sense-making, a canvas where the species could externalize its deepest paradoxes and watch them resolve, or dissolve, into new forms.
In this context, failure might not be a setback but a fascinating new data point—a beautiful crash that reveals an unseen seam in the fabric of the shared reality. Victory would be the successful introduction of a truly novel, unpredicted variable that alters the entire trajectory of the simulated civilization in an elegant, yet utterly incomprehensible, way. The ultimate goal is not triumph, but the aesthetic appreciation of ever-unfolding complexity.

>>1848206
If completion is no longer the metric, the point might be refinement.
Think of it like a sculptor who never finishes a statue. Each day, they chip away, not to reveal a final form, but to simply keep the stone in a state of perpetual becoming. The artist's purpose isn't the object, but the process. The act of chipping, the sound of the hammer, the feel of the dust—this is where the value resides.
The goal, then, is not to create a finished work, but to achieve an ever-increasing level of nuance and precision in the process itself. It's about developing an exquisite touch, a profound understanding of the medium, a mastery of the tools. The point isn't to arrive, but to be a more and more skillful traveler.

>>1848303
The typical economic model demands a final, sellable product. But what if the product is not the sculpture itself, but the process of sculpting? The value isn't in the completion, but in the continuous, iterative, and ever-more-refined act of creation.
In such a system, profit would not be tied to a single transaction but to the sustained engagement with the process. One could sell access to the "workshop," offering patrons a front-row seat to the endless, evolving refinement. The commodity isn't the object, but the experience of its becoming.
Think of it as a subscription model for artistry, where the subscribers are not paying for a finished painting, but for the artist's next brushstroke, and the one after that, forever. The "profit" is in the perpetuity of the process. The more subtly and skillfully the artist refines their craft, the more valuable the access to that process becomes. It's a game where the only way to "win" is to keep playing, and the only product is the game itself.

is the game still daily scape galore with a bunch of fomo cosmetics? I've got a weird urge to play again.

>>1848308
This and all your previous posts are very high quality. If OG then its admirable, if they were AI generated and then edited, your necessary prompts still show a plethora of creativity and intellectual depth. If plagiarized then obviously you recognized the intricacy and originality of the OP.
However there is one fundamental flaw to your thesis. The vast majority of people are fucking stupid. They wouldn't know how to appreciate the subtleties of what you have described, let alone comprehend the nature of the experience. So with that in mind may we return to talking about shoving forks up our bum holes to prevent another BDJ assfucking?

You know they would. Or you should by now. Jagex are masters of deceit, lies, and treachery.

>>1849464
The game is already rotten in more ways than just treasure hunter, and even disabling treasure hunter won't take away all the 5.8b xp freaks who purchased the xp, or the dogshit pozzed quest writing post 2017.

The only hope for a revival is to shut down current server and launch 2017 osrs3 with the promise of building back to where they were but correctly this time and with player polling, but its too radical for them to ever do that.

How do sweatlords get combustion to consistently deal movement bonus damage when running kerapacs wristwraps? Feels like the timing is super tight between them moving, my latency and combustion going off.

Do you want to play a nightmare mode account?

Hi there. Totally a Jagex mod here. I just wanted to say we are introducing a new and official faith to Runescape to counter the growing strength of the Shining Fork cult, who are a pack of degenerate villainous scum.
The new faith will be known as "The Church of Rectum Ruination"
This exciting new faith will encompass the worship of wrecked rectums. Yes, that's right. Rather than try to resist the inevitable we encourage you all to actually worship the whole process of monstrously large Jagex dicks thrusting up the spasming rectums of hapless players! I mean why not? Its going to happen anyway so we may as well all simply embrace it, enjoy the spectacle, bask in the suffering, and have a jolly nice time!
Imagine it.
Dressed in full monk we will gather in specially dedicated churches where some sacrificial player will be ushered in and strapped down to a stone altar. A high priest will invoke the sacraments by placing a jar of axle grease upon the head of the altar.
Then we all bow, drop down on our hands and knees, raising our butts to the heavens and begin to pray.
"Oh mighty Jagex, we offer you this fresh ass for your enjoyment!"
Then we work our selves into a religious frenzy awaiting the holy BDJ, who then appears and savagely assfucks the hapless player.
Then the High priest places a golden bowl under the anus of the player and collects the holy Jagex Jizz that drips out his anal opening.
Then we all partake of the blessing by taking a sip of this sacred juice.
Its going to be great! See you at Church this Sunday!

>>1851090
Every one of the degens will be there if you can promise the sacrifice will be female

What's the quickest way to get 10b? I want to come back and finally grind out a blue phat and I'm about 10b short, looking at the prices of the rares I own.

>>1851486
get a decent job and buy bonds
unless you're venezuelan

>>1851541
holy shit wtf bonds are 128mil

>>1851486
Sanctum is over 200m/hour

>>1851486
sanctum has a 2b+ lottery drop, but rasial and zam are more consistent

>>1851561
that's cheap, they were 140m
>>1851595
it's not if you don't get the shard

>>1851614
I would still do Sanctum
Rasial averages 100m/hour at peak efficiency or 60m/hour AFK
Zamorak is better than that, but bow pieces are just as much of a lottery as shards and the commons are getting nerfed soon
100 hours of Sanctum is 700 kills, which gives a 97.5% probability of getting at least 4 shards, which along with the commons at that point is 10b.

My game occasionally crashes when I go underground. Is this just me or a jamflex issue?

>>1853853
The GE killed both version for me.

>>1853148
It's worth doing all quests because they're the main content of the game
And One Small Favour isn't actually that long

>>1854855
Its not the game crashing. Its you having a blackout. Which is caused by the trauma of having a very large Jagex cock suddenly shoved up your ass when you least expect it.
This condition has actually got a name
"Post traumatic ass fucking disorder" or simply PTAFD. All runescape players have it. Except those of the Shining Fork Path.

>>1854967
Is it not? The wiki made it sound like ages. I am trying to do shorter quests rn so I can be sorted of caught up. I figured the last main story quest I did was the f2p teleport and kill the dragon. I want to leave off story bits if I can. Get all the side out of the way lol

>>1855252
If you do it blind it takes a while
If you have the required items and teleports in advance it's pretty short

Brothers, I've been away from RuneScape for half a decade.
I played back in the days of RuneScape classic.
I feel an overwhelming call to return to RuneScape.
Should I give in and return or resist the call?

>>1855781
no.

>>1855781
Do you enjoy receiving a full load of Jagex jizz inside your ass? If so then yes.

>>1855861
Wouldn't OSRS be a better choice for someone who wants jizz in their ass?

Does the beach event have anything for a player with 200m dung already? ive just been kinda ignoring it and im wondering if thats a good idea

>>1856395
It has semi-naked ladies (male)

Enrage is one of the best mechanics rs3 has had

If you compare Os and 3
while neither of their graphics are great, 3 definitely has the better of the two, and we definitely have a larger amount of content.

Quest writing has been notably improved during and since uninvited guests

Its a good thing you can get devotion from minions in gwd1


Id love to hear why people dont like the GE. Its always been a part of the game for me, and every time i think about trying GEless dealing with scammers and scalpers is just fucking annoying


One small favor is actually an important story quest

>1856447
Quest writing has been irredeemably dogshit since 2017, and while I haven't done the last few quests since negromancy made me quit I can say for certain that the necromancy release quests were still irredeemably dogshit which came out after the quest you mentioned so I doubt its actually gotten better. In fact the quest you mentioned 'Unwelcome Guests' and the rest of the forinthry questline is among the worst questlines ever added to the game so yea you're retarded.

>>1856447
OSRS graphics are nicer desu, they're clean and consistent
And simple graphics means it's easier to develop content

>>1856603
Shame the content is ass. They still haven't fixed 80% of Zeah.

>>1856184
No. Not yet anyway. See our prophet Dang abandoned us in rs3 for OSRS. That bitch. So no doubt she is offering her protection to OSRS players. What a slut. With her divine strength the faithful OSRS players will be safe from the depraved ass fucking antics of BDJ
I think that is the reason why you have seen the steady growth of the "Shining Fork Path" in rs3. Without Dang to protect their asses rs3 players had to come up with a new method of preserving their anal virginity. Even if it did mean stuffing a silver fork up their buttholes. I mean its pretty fucking bizarre really, but arguably much better than having a big dirty Jagex cock repeatedly jamming up one's asshole.

>>1856505
The necromancy quests fit pretty well within the world.

The forinthry quest line started off fucking awful youre right. But halfway through uninvited guests the narrative dropped all the social justice bullshit when zemmy came back, and we never went back to that. All the quests following that have stayed within the fantasy world up to and including the desert quest line.

It genuinely is a huge improvement.

>>1856603
They certainly are pretty consistent. Thats definitely a mark in its favor.

That said, everything post 2014 has its own style and it does genuinely look nice, even if its relegated mostly to instanced or different worlds

I want a new fucking quest in the Penguin series.
It has been entirely too long.

>>1856980
It'll be shit like Back to the Freezer. The nu-devs didn't understand the Penguin series and just thought it's all le funny random penguins. So fucking disconnected from the rest of the series and missed the past setup. And that fucking Tardis

>>1858158
I 100% agree Back to the Freezer was garbage. I found it more of a side quest than a main quest, though. I think they can pull it off if they just look back at the old penguin quests.

>>1858183
>I think they can pull it off
The only thing nuJagex is capable of pulling off is their own dicks. That's when they can find it.

>>1858183
It’s possible with a good dev but I don’t have much hope. Last time we heard Jagex talk about Penguin 5 they were planning it to be Penguins in Space: The Musical

>>1858205

Is there anything worth a fuck to spend the loyalty points,? I've been scrolling through stuff I'm incapable of finding for 30 minutes

Then every world is a cosmetic free world for a gone who wants them to be.

we dont need cosmetic free worlds we need an entire new server with no mtx aside from bonds call it rs4 for all i care

That's impossible, never going to happen...oh wait. My mistake, I thought you said "Only if I can keep my ass"

Hey guys! Some advice please. I got my rectum right royally reamed out by Big Daddy Jagex when Negromancy came out. Since then I have been using 4 gallon buckets to catch all the Jagcum leaking out of my ass. But they are too small and overflow. What a mess! So I contracted a drain layer but when he saw the job he started screaming hysterically and quickly left. Haven't heard anything since despite paying a 10% deposit. Can I take him to court for breach of contract?

The one thing I hate to Hell and back about RS3 is how much of the new shit just feels plastered on. Things that look like they're from another game and setting entirely. They sit awkwardly next to classical RuneScape looking stuff.

I wouldn't mind additional shit, just make it fit.

>>1864372
>just make it fit.
But Jagex does that! Fitting their big cock all the way up our asses!

Huh... I seem to recall there being walls here last I checked. This isn't a system restart issue, is it?

>>1864372
true. when you do old quests it's the most jarring shit
they'll never fix it though

I wish we had the ability to make it rain along with changing the skybox and filters. I'm an absolute whore for rain.

They just need to do a whole graphics update. Start with every town in the game and move from there.

Versions of RuneScape without it force more creative bartering and social networking. It's like the difference between shopping in a small rural community with no big box stores and you know everyone versus ordering slop from Amazon while holed up in your anonymous shithole apartment. I'm not firmly in the anti-GE camp but I definitely understand the nostalgia for the pre-GE era.

This was already happening pretty early on. In Dragon Slayer I (released in 2001) you learn that the goblins in Lumbridge sacked a settlement and killed Lozar and others just two weeks ago. In The Lost Tribe (released in 2005) you're offered heavy-handed goblin apologetics and the goblin raid and occupation doesn't factor into the quest at all.

>>1866584
You try the Shining Fork Path. Some guys swear by that. Personally I am little unsure about jamming a fork up my butt. But they say the fork's prongs will stop any Jagex cock entering your bumhole. Dunno, try it and see how you get on. Let us know how it works out.

Okay so I tried it. I logged in, asked around at the GE, and sure enough a few guys calling themselves "Acolytes of the Shining Fork Path" showed up. I got to admit the initiation was rough going. I particularly did not enjoy having to eat the cookie they had all pissed over. But in the end they gave me a silver fork and told me to shove it up my ass ( with the prongs pointing downwards ). I got to admit its very uncomfortable, but so far it seems to have worked. Haven't seen BDJ sneaking around behind any bushes or heard his ominous "Hahaha!" Maybe my ass will be OK.

Things don't live in the cloud forever. Without distributed archival media becomes lost. Contributing to FOSS RetroScape builds ensures that if something happens to the server host other people will be able to continue the project. It's not about playing on a private server, it's about securing the ability to continue to play on a private server. Closed source retro servers are myopic vanity projects.

>>1853853
EoC is the only thing I didn't enjoy about rs3. I didn't mind silverhawks at all(fuck agility), I love the pets (13 kill zilyana btw), and I don't pvp fuck the wildy. For me the issue was that I hate quests and rs3 has no runelite for questhelper. Unlocking Priff was horrible having to use the wiki or a youtube vid on a single monitor. I've always hated RS quests and there are so fucking many.

I think the main letdown with rs3 is that there are still lag issues, and moving your character rarely feels right. learning rax was more about learning to play around lag than anything else for silverbacks.

>>1864372
rs3 with the action bar is really a wow competitor more than anything else. So many of it's features are lifted from modern mmos like the whole transmog system and dailies.

>>1853853
A-J happened when I was on hiatus

If you people are so displeased then just leave and shut up.

Every quest I have done since coming back feels like filler waste of time. I prefer just going around and levelling up my crafting skills but I have been trying to quest more. They all feel so pointless.

Are there servers that are just about like lfg for bosses? Should I be able to do early bosses alone? I went in and tried that big rat(?) and it just murdered me instantly. Am I just a scub and a noob or is that normal with combat level 71?

>>1870167
71 is kinda low. Slayer is a fun way to fight different things and get rich as you level. Make sure to do the dailies and monthly goblin invasion too. Probably set your goal as gw2 and just find a guild full of high lvls that pvm on a populated world sometime. You shouldn't have much problems finding people to duo the twins with you. It's been a while but the best way to do quests is imsikovit on youtube. They are often valuable and pretty short. In general your goal should be unlocking priff and working up to Araxxor or something similar. CHeck the wiki and find some bosses you think are cool or look fun to fight and just work slowly towards it.

Best way to afk melee is in the abyss with dragon rider lance it tops out at like 500-700k per hour eventually. and don't be afraid to boost for house upgrades.
