Use a bot. Runescape was always a shit-tier grindfest it's just you were too underage to notice the first time around. Only good thing about the game was the music.

I've been doing mining, is fishing just more lucrative at the moment? And why magic?

>>16160110

trying a bit too hard there friend

>>16160135

Lol what event was this?

gay shit is irrelevant when there's GE and the economy and game is ruined

>>16160135

>that pic

That riot was the most fun I've ever had on OSRS. Shortly after the riot I sold everything of value I had and gambled all my gold on dragon impling boxes before unsubscribing my membership and stopped playing. Haven't touched it since but I imagine I haven't missed anything of value anyway

>>16160075

>magic

>powerful

Just raise melee, its cheaper and more reliable. Magic costs money and is only good for teleport and alch. Cooking is a money sink. Fishing isnt profitable, just buy food..

Also this cant be osrs because its clearly not open source, nor did membership bonds exist in classic

>>16160203

>botting your fishing to 65 before you do combat

>POWERFUL LONG RANGE ATTACKS

Magic isnt any stronger than melee unless you get barrows set and paper thin defense with ancients. Meme skill. Its only good for skilling

All things said, is there any plausible reason not to use a bot for the retarded act of running to a bank every three minutes because your inventory is full of shit? I do remember grinding woodcutting many years back. Fucking hell…

(Also and good bots? I once looked around but (((subscription model))) was all I found

>>16160196

>just buy food..

There is but one thing you should ever guy in Runescape: a gf

>>16160218

Being able to safe space melee damage > pray protecting melee.

>Meme skill

I didn't know we were talking about Firemaking.

>>16160189

Is this bait? I can't tell because the single-mother spawns on their tablets that are what's left of the runescape playerbase actually believe this. There is a clear and fundamental difference, psychologically, between the process of trading directly with someone that has human tendencies and a trading mediator algorithm that involves no 'human' interaction, and this has social implications far removed from the process of trading itself. Because of its simplicity and ease of use it becomes the path of least resistance and most players switch to using it almost exclusively to the point where even the players that are willing to actively ignore it can't play without it as there isn't enough of them to make traditional trading feasible.

Lower-mid/mid-high tier drops and produce become cheap, trivial and no longer worth killing or skilling for. It's a form of power creep, except it's sudden. Even preparing to go on a quest now involves standing at the ge and ticking off a list on the wiki.

You gullable niggers think the pride event was a failure or something? It did what it was meant to do in the first place: put runescape back into the public spotlight shortly before the mobile release with the help of the hate-click advertising machine and the reddit rioters that gave them all the ammo they needed instead of voting with their mother's wallet.

And the funny thing is the preceeding wall of text is just one problem. >>16160110 see this handy chart for more and kys.

>>16160223

After playing Haven and Hearth, I realized that Firemaking wouldve been better as a general Survival skill. As it is its too niche. Oh well,i put lots of time into RS and moved on. I wonder if I still have all my shit in the new game

Currently mining and smithing in RS3 are extremely AFK and make around 500-750k an hour, which is pretty good for being AFK. If you get the smelting gauntlets, you can just smith gold/cannonballs for 2-3 minutes of afk time, and you never have to run to the bank. Do this for a few hours every day while multitasking something else and you'll be able to sustain a bond.

>>16160189

Becausee GE lead to inflation of items. ANd don't fucking lie. a cape that can be bought for 12gp from the clothing store in varrok can be sold for 200 GP or so on the GE.

>>16160292

I thought slayer was decent money at the very least. Gave me something to do while herbs grew. Also let me stockpile summoning charms

Remember how awful and unbalanced that was? Something like 40 summon to get 10 minutes of +2 firemaking and woodcutting? Or how many extra clicks you needed for the few extra inventory slot summons and how shit they were before being buffed?

Fuck, remember dungeoneering?

>Heres this cool longsword you only need level 40 dg to use

>But you need like 85 levels in it before you have enough tokens. Well have fun!

>>16160321

You cost on the ge comes from the players time to purchase and list it. What are you going to complain that convenience stores arent selling items at manufacturer cost?

>>16160338

Dungeoneering was a neat idea regardless

>A skill that makes every other skill useful in some way or another

>A skill that isn't completely AFK shit and cannot be cheesed with dumping assloads of money into it

>A skill that actually requires you to interact with other human beings in the game, and play to their strengths and weaknesses

Outside of leveling it being incredibly slow and a garbage launch state it was a very neat idea.

JUDEN RAUS FUCK YOU MARK

GET THESE RUNE SCAPE AND WOLD UH WHOACWAAAFT THREADS OFF THIS BOARD

>>16160330

I always hear about the damage that GE did but nobody ever explains what the damage was. Can you explain? I was with Runescape during it's golden years but I was too spaghetti to ever try trading.

>>16160381

We could explain it a million times but you retards always come back in the next thread with "LOL GE IS GOOD YOU JUST HATE IT BECAUSE NOSTALGIA"

>>16160391

Just play ironman then?

>>16160391

Honestly I wonder why none of you ever say anything about trade limits because that was the breaking point for me specifically. I remember almost getting free shit from a nice guy and it didn't go through because Fagex was scared of bots or whatever.

>>16160405

I'm going to assume nobody is actually THIS retarded and you're just baiting.

>>16160409

Trade limits are a byproduct of GE-based economy.

>>16160409

I honestly forgot trade limits were a thing mainly because of how reliant the game was on the GE

>>16160341

>Can buy shit from clothing store at 12gp

>Sell on GE for 212gp

>Somehow not inflation

>>16160409

The trade limit thing was ass, Killed drop parties

>>16160426

>Can get gold ore for free

>Sell on GE for 300 gp

>OMG INFLATION

That's not how it works dumbass

>Old School Bonds are in-game items, tradable to fellow players and redeemable for membership

If you want to complain about inflation, complain about this.

>>16160254

>Allow 3rd party clients to run your game and make money off you because Jagex is too afraid to go against r****t

What, apart from threat of legal action could be done about 3rd party clients? And wasn't osbuddy made by an ex-jagex staffer?

>Slayer turned into a meme skill

been out of the loop a while. how?

>>16160434

>selling is the same as buying

>faggot poster playing RS3, where prices on GE have heavily inflated MORE than OSRS

Minor things like capes and fishing rods sohuldn't be this heavily inflated on the GE due to shops selling an infinite supply of them and across multiple servers. They should MAYBE be 30gp (slight markup for profit). you seem to be literally retarded

>>16160707

Trees and rocks provide an infinite amount of logs and ores, when you figure out why people pay money for these maybe you'll be less retarded.

>trying to grind gold for membership bonds

>is farming

>a member's skill

Genuine thing to consider, memebershit bonds are as kiked as keys in team fortress 2 it's objectively not sustainable nor worth the time and grind to actually trade for them.

>>16160582

>Meme bracelets to reduce or increase a tasks length by 25%

>Katacombs of Kourend so every task is burstable and makes money

>Cannon spots everywhere

>Extra boss rooms so theres little to no competition

All of this has moreso doubled the average xp of slayer, before it was a hard and worthless skill to train before reaching the higher levels so less people did it, but now theres so much focus on it and practically no reason not to, which adds to another point which is the economy being utterly fucked because they refuse to revert the death mechanics making items worthless and everything riskless

>What could they do about 3rd party clients other than legal action

They could get off their arse and make a functioning client themselves to start with, its completely unacceptable that their vanilla client runs worse than a 3rd party one with 50 different plugins attached to it

>>16159841

Abso-fucking-lutely this.

quit being a faggot and play /v/scape instead

>>16161010

I thought they got hacked.

>>16161012

Yes, but think for one second about what the hackers could even do.

As long as you weren't a retard who used the same password and username that they used on other shit (on a server run by anons no less), they can't do anything to you.

Since then, security measures have been drastically changed, so a repeat of the incident should not be likely.

play OSRS F2P and level up all your combat/gathering/crafting skills to 30~40

Access the 7-day membership trial

make bond $$$ in less than 5 days

enjoy free OSRS

do the same thing but screw the free trial and gib Jagex

11 FUCKING DOLLARYDOOS

for 1 month and make the money for bonds, never pay them again

>>16161300

Priest in Peril and, afterwards, Ghosts Ahoy! , are a good pair of beginner-member quest. the first gives you access to the morytania region and the latter gives you a permanent infinite-use teleport to the Ectofuntus, which is at the north-east part of the morytania region.

honestly. im fucking done playing this game. endgame content is just powercreep bullshit for streamers.

>>16159835

i could give you a bond if you want. i dont think i want to play this zombie game anymore. you can make enough money in 2 weeks to purchase another on your own.

So how about that Recipe for Disaster?

I heard they made a sequel to it, how was it?

>>16161420

you need 13.1 million experience to 99 a skill. level 92 happens at 6.5 million exp, its the halfway-there point

>>16161420

>>16161440

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

>>16161469

dude. thats been how the game was since day 1. the final levels are supposed to be the toughest.

going from level 98 to 99 takes roughly the same exp it takes to go from lv1 to 71 roughly 1.07 million exp of course at level 98 you pretty much have all kinds of min-maxing options at your disposal to grind faster than you do at level 1, but its still tough. some skills are easier than others, cooking is probably the easiest 99 in the game, with agility, thieving, and runecrafting being the 3 hardest.

>>16161469

The Gowers never thought anyone would be crazy enough to try it. That's why the highest level shit in Classic was no more than like level 60.

>>16161469

If you think endgame is the real game and levels are just a completely pointless obstacle to it, then you could play literally any other MMO.

>>16161469

It gave it a lot of status even if the actual 99 level didn't add or change much about the skill. In fact if I recall correctly the last effective level was 95? Those skill capes were neat though.

First 99?

Firemaking.

>>16161570

>Old game

>Dragon Platebodies

>>16161575

i wasn't talking about classic specifically, more like the oldschool runescape that people remember dearly, you know, 2004-2006ish. face it most classic players are fucking dead now, RIP the MMO boomers

>>16161575

Runite armor was also added in an update. Adamant armor was the strongest melee armor when the game first launched.

>>16161583

>think dragon plates were introduced in 2012 or something

>It's 2008

>It's been nearly a decade since I last played

>>16161583

>2004-2006ish

Barrows armor would have been the strongest armor then.

>>16161603

yeah so, getting smithing to 99 to make yourself a rune would have been absolutely pointless.

making rune armor need such high smithing was a mistake. it should have been like level 70-75 smithing, tops

>>16161608

The problem is that until dungeoneering higher levels in most non combat skills were practically useless.

I think Agility was the only all around useful one because of shortcuts and stamina?

>>16161608

RS3 recently overhauled the skill, now making the entire rune set only requires level 50 smithing (and mining runite is level 50 mining).

>>16161420

>realize that after around level 30, you're only halfway to the currentlevel+7.

If you're playing RS3, mining and smithing rework came out so new ores are good profit. Especially luminite if you're F2P.

If you're members & high level smithing make elder rune +4 into +5 and sell it because double xp is on and people wanna level up smithing for stupid prices because they wanna make masterwork armour.

If you're playing OSRS, learn to use abilities and play RS3 they make combat way more interesting holy shit you nostalgia goggles wearing fuck.

>>16161901

osrs isnt subjected to the mtx cancer like rs3 and gets regular content updates unlike rs3

>>16161938

>Regular content updates unlike RS3

What are you on about? What is this video?

Meanwhile OSRS has been busy fine-tuning their lacklustre raids content for the past two months. Deleting enemies because players say they're annoying, making raid bosses weaker & removing level requirements for content, yeah good regular content updates.

I won't deny that MTX is riddled in RS3 but it's completely optional, and you can happily ignore it forever.

>>16161420

If you think about it the exp gets significantly faster when you're at that level because you can output more damage. It's still fucking horrible though.

Reminder we have a private /v/ server: https://vidyascape.org/

>Buy sara godsword for 41m

>It's lackluster and I still have to use guthans besides it

It's not useless or anything but I expected a bit more out of it, I could have spend the money on skilling but I still feel like im wasting money that way.

>>16161938

What be MTX?

What was the combat rebalance anyways? I don't think I played it before I quit.

>>16165449

mtx = microtransaction. the combat change was eoc, evolution of combat. its actually good now.

>Played as a free member on and off when I was a kid

>Recently tried to get back into it, even got a few months membership to give it a real go

>It's still just none stop grinding that puts pre-big bang Maplestory to shame

I'll never understand the appeal of this game.

>>16165705

RS3 is basically the biggest idle MMORPG right now.

>>16160156

One of the mods added in a gay pride event without putting it through a poll, like pretty much every OSRS update had to. It did not go over well and there were widespread riots with players walking around in desert robes and wielding nooses acting like KKK members. It got so bad that for a short time Jagex banned anyone just wearing the robes.

>>16160980

It's 2019 and babies have the GE

>>16159841

Always with this nigger tier thinking, I'm starting to think you idiots took up MMOs after the NCIS episodes about high scores

It's this what made Runescape die off after a while, you're playing an MMO primarily to interact with actual people and not watch your numbers go up through your bots. Fuck you and fuck everyone who used bots, the best part about Runescape was always and forever will be the interaction part and once that died down to a crawl because little babbies wanted an idle clicker and bawled their eyes out for an incredibly simple quest like Shield of Varrock the game started to go to shit. You can have all these fancy shmancy quests with garbage story lines rip Guthix but at the end of the day my fondest memories of runescapes were fucking around with people, playing Clan Wars, Wildy PvP "tactics" consisting of fucking around with people, Castle Wars, Barbarian hordes.

It breaks my heart to log in the game on dedicating minigame servers and seeing them completely deserted and empty because everyone else would rather go into their own tiny little instances to see their numbers go up. Which is why I don't doubt for a second JaGeX could break bank if they planned out a good sandbox-like singleplayer RPG, that's all people want anymore.

>>16167886

Same reason modern players defend GE to the death; it prevents that pesky player interaction from getting in the way of their grinding to 99 and killing bosses, and makes it trivial to get exact market price for all items so there's no need to trade with a real person who might be trying to haggle.

>>16167886

If you want to interact with people, join a chatroom; if you wanna grind forever, play an MMO. If you like fucking with people and minigames then, i dunno, GTA5 sounds about right. Maybe if you're lucky someone will mix GTA online with medieval fantasy open world someday, and then cram it full of pay2win because companies only exist to make money and that's an excellent cash drain for the stupid. Alternatively, play minecraft, since i'm given to understand that has multiple game-mode servers everywhere.

>>16168064

Nah, you're a modern MMO babby. You grew up seeing all the copy pasted MMOs and that is your whole idea of the genre, it's like you only played oblivion and skyrim and think you know what a RPG is. The reason why you see people talk about player interaction so much is because it's what runescape used to have and what people hoped would come back when they released oldschool runescape.

>>16168170

MMOs used to be all about interacting with people. There was lots of downtime between fights and adventures for people to sit and talk because your health didn't regen in 5 seconds flat. Hell SWG took this a few steps further and made it so you couldn't even fight your best unless you got dancer and doctor buffs first, meaning you had no choice and were forced to interact with other players. The point of all this is because MMOs were supposed to be 3D D&D.

Then hyperactive autistic faggots like you came along who wanted to eliminate all the little speedbumps in the way of their action, completely missing the point of the genre, and you turned MMOs into "shared world" trash. Together with a new generation of developers moulded by Bay Area soy, you couldn't figure out how to interact with real men so you collectively minmaxed all the interaction (read: fun) out of the game and turned it MMOs into solo games with dungeon queues.

EQ, DAoC, AC, SWG were the golden days. If you think modern MMOs are better you're a fucking chimp.

>>16167886

This anon knows what's up. Stop getting defensive about your 'tism and listen, and maybe you'll learn something.

>>16168190

End game raids are a valid focus. Getting together with 20+ other people to take on in-game challenges so difficult that less than .01% of the playerbase will ever manage to beat them at least while they are current content has both the social bit as well as a much more attractive core gameplay.

I'm not talking about the easy mode dungeons with randoms. I'm talking about the hardest of hardmode content that can only be done with groups of people who not only know what they are doing, but also know you well enough to know what you are doing as well, all with a sequence of progressively newer and even harder challenges to beat.

>>16168064

If you want to grind XP then play a JRPG or an idle game nigger. MMOs are multiplayer for a reason, and the reason isn't so you can grind XP alone.

>>16159835

Do fremmenik trials and fremminik isles as well as Royal trouble to get your kingdom going. Set it to herbs and Coal. Then get the varrock hard diary done for 60 cheap battlestaves per day and buy those from zaff's barrel and sell them or combine them with an air orb and alch them. Those two things should be able to sustain a bond. I sustain nearly two of them with a bit of slayer every two weeks

>>16168275

Make that hero's quest not fremennik isles. As well as throne of miscellania

>>16168275

Varrock hard isnt attainable that fast for someone just starting, medium is definitely easily done though.

>>16168295

That's true and the medium diary does allow for 30 battlestaves per day which isn't too bad and the reqs aren't that high either. Then as was said earlier herb runs running ranarrs is easy enough. I made my first green stack doing herb runs

>>16168190

I started MMOs with Ragnarok Online; i'm no stranger to sitting around waiting for HP and SP to refill and shooting the shit in the downtime, but the major point of the game was killing monsters, getting loot, and gaining experience. If you had the money to spam potions or an acolyte either in your pocket or just sitting outside payon caves to heal you, you ignored all that talking bullshit and got to murdering. Even then, sitting around and forming a community was just a sideline to all kinds of gains, and you can't tell me that twenty-skill runescape is any different. 'Better' is a funny word, though: do you think cars are better than horses? Faster, more efficient, less maintenance, easier to control. As much as you like the feeling of a huge sweaty beast heaving under you, most people prefer cars because they're streamlined to be what's convenient. As much community building as might happen in an inconvenient MMO, people get frustrated with it, and i guarantee you lots of people playing Runescape made an effort to do as much as they could solo even over a decade ago. It's just inevitable; if you wanna blame anyone, blame the population that fell in love with WOW, one of the most convenient games of the era, and then moved on to new hotness after that lost it's flavor like MOBAs and battle royales, both of which are, in fact, convenient because they have contained matches rather than the randomness of meeting people in an open game and trying to get a gang together to do a low instance that nobody needs anymore and can't waste the time to do for a stranger. If you wanna blame anything, blame the fact that you're playing an old, dead game (which i am too atm tbh famalam im just not fucking being wistful about it) while damning the world around you for not having the same preferences as you for timesink grindathon MMOs that you recall fondly because if was your first internet communication, having somehow skipped right past usenets and IRC. Or, you know, maybe get in on Wurm or some other recruit thread the next time you see it and join other sad bastards in some shitawful inconvenience quest instead of moping about your electronic childhood sweetheart.

Thats dirt cheap. Fuck i dont know how but if somebody wants to do this I'd pay 20 bucks a month to play osrs if i can run around calling everyone niggers. Get two more guys and youre covering costs. I feel like theres gotta be a demographic for gaming nostalgia thats not only for the games themselves but for the unsjwness of eras bygone.

>>16167886

Nostalgiafag casual, go back to playing Spyro the Dragon for the 100th time. You aren't 13 anymore, and that goes for the entire RS payerbase. The game has changed to accomadate this. You are trying to relive your childhood memories with a bunch of 20-somethings, and are shocked when they don't act like they did 10 years ago.

>>16178119

Is playing Spyro an insult?

>>16178136

being obsessed with muh childhood is the insult

>>16178037

I'd host it for free, but my network goes to shit once I start torrenting or updating a bunch of software and I'd hate to provide a trash-tier service with a lot of down times.

There's the option of hosting the server on a VPS, but I'm not sure which providers allow hosting copyrighted games.

>>16178824

You realize that's what /v/idya scape is right?

>>16181037

No, I haven't played rs since 2010. I've already planned on setting up my own server in a few months so I don't really care about the /v/ server.

holy shit on top of that it's a massive fuckup too

>>16181244

Why do you want to host your own so badly. Keep in mind /v/scape actually has more content and is more accurate than any other private server. It's not like WoW where you can just download a server off the internet and get something that is mostly working.

>>16185612

I forgot my /v/scape password a long ass time ago

>>16177924

>I thought it was dead

If you are talking about the playerbase, it is more alive than any new server will be, unless someone has a perfect replica of the servers as they were in 2007. If you are talking about the hack, that's already been addressed in the thread.

>>16185629

It's really strange to see the difference between OSRS and RS3, have you watched some of the RS3 streams? They're top tier bants.

Give this a watch, they spend a good 80% of the time just ripping into each other, it's great.

Granted the RS3 team fucked up recently, adding a forced boss mechanic because people were killing this boss too fast, but forgot a line of code so it would trigger back to back and would wipe teams but they at least fixed it without too much fuss.

>>16185629

>Brendan Fraser already paid all of his alimony

At last he can unfuck his shit, poor guy.

>>16185648

My original character is still stuck in RS3, havent played it since way before the massive changes. All the bullshit on the screen and microtransactions completely puts me off though. Looking at the vid it looks like one of those MMOs copying WoW like Allods.

>>16185612

>Why

Because of nostalgia and I want to play on my own server.

>has more content and is more accurate than any other private server.

Why didn't they publish the source code then? Are you telling me that the state of 2006-2010 version of RS servers is still as shit as it was 10 years ago?

>>16185671

>MMOs copying WoW

That's exactly what RS3 is, they're copying a lot of the popular concepts from all the other WoW-style MMOs and appealing to people who want boss raids and endgame content and have 0 patience. The entire F2P area feels like a huge bazaar of advertisements all competing for your attention at every corner, many of them being massive towers literally casting other places in their shadow and completely failing to fit into the world or leaving any breathing room between others like it, demigod-looking creatures standing in roadways, quests putting more and more focus on cutscenes, every piece of equipment is now more detailed and decorated than Armadyl armor used to be, etc. The comfiness level of the game has dropped to 0.

They recently nerfed the fuck out of mining and smithing by letting you automine ores, making each ore node infinite, and you can carry an unknown amount of ore on you (at least hundreds), plus both anvils and furnaces now function as a connected second bank that stores ore and ingots. If you go online you'll see countless "XXxfaggot_1245 reached 99 in all skills" type announcements every day because skilling has become so easy.

I wanted to try it after I heard of the mining update but it's kind of painful seeing what the game has become, there's so much cancer jammed into everything that I couldn't list it all if I wanted to. There's some neat things in there though like more equipment/weapon types and dual wielding and significantly improved game client and stuff, but the game has fundamentally lost it's soul.

>>16185710

>Are you telling me that the state of 2006-2010 version of RS servers is still as shit as it was 10 years ago?

yes

>Why didn't they publish the source code then?

Why should they so long as their server's running? /v/scape's one weakness is its low amount of users, why should they do something that would only keep players away?

>>16185470

fucking lmao, they really made the twisted bow spawn on the ground? fucking ridiculous. these stupid SJW niggers are running the game into the ground even more than they did with RS3

>>16186404

>Why should they so

Because server development has clearly not moved, releasing fixes publicly would improve the state of servers for the community as a whole. There's literally no reason to NOT release source. The way they started their own server is by taking sources from someone else and improving them. Not giving relevant patches back to the community is the equivalent of not seeding torrents, which just makes them look like trash.

>keep players away

It wouldn't. Anyone who wants to host a server will host it with the current shitty setups. They wouldn't lose users, they'd just save time for future server devs.

You seem to have a very childish view on development.

>>16185720

>every piece of equipment is now more detailed and decorated than Armadyl armor used to be, etc

This is what kills me the most. I gave it a free pass for dungoneering because it's all supposed to be ancient armors and the progression looked pretty decent, but there's no need for regular armors to look like chinese MMO endgame armors with how overdesigned they feel.

>>16185720

I checked out RS3 a few years ago and this is basically what I thought of it. I'm sure certain things are better, including combat, but everything from the artstyle to the MTX and focus on XP just puts me off.

>log in, stupid treasure chest icon appears each time to remind you to play the MTX minigame

>everyone's walking around in over-designed, over-the-top store outfits

There was also some summer event where you could click on sandcastles for XP, and I went from 1-70 in construction in like 20-25 hours without doing anything remotely related to the skill.

>>16186839

Sounds like you want open source solely becauseyou yourself can't program shit.

/v/idyascape would be fine if more people played, but pre-GE RS servers are going to suffer from lack of demand, mainly thanks to OSRS.

>>16187564

Implying you'd want to do anything in construction anyway. It's a shit skill and needs a rework. Houses are nigh useless thanks to lodestones. Only thing good about them is aquariums for the passive fishing boosts and lecterns for various teletabs.

>>16187672

No, because I don't want to waste time if I know that someone already fixed a thousand undisclosed bugs in a currently obscure game which already has open source servers. If (((/v/))) isn't giving back to the community then I don't give a shit about them.

>>16162953

add lunars and item packs you retards

>>16187767

There's RSCrevolution. It has custom updates like new quests and slayer and 100s of people on at any time.

But you know why? It has a GE, mobile client, exp multipliers, quests that give insane exp and makes updates based on poll results so it gets "Qol" patches on par with osrs. Oh and one of the (ex?) admins is a twink who shows off his asshole on chaturbate. If you play go ironman.

When you are doing clue scrolls, and it tells you do do X with certain items equipped, can you have OTHER things equipped along with the required items? I never thought anything of it till I just got the clue "have no jewelry equipped" implying that you may have other items besides the required ones.

if this is TRUE then im fucking retarded and have been handicapping myself for a long time.

Hey guys. Let's talk about another unique mmo : Puzzle Pirates.

>>16195531

People hate pkers and everything to do with pvp because they went into the wilderness and died. This is the state of mmo communities these days. They're so fucking stupid that they'll go into a pvp area and get butthurt about pvp.

I guarantee if they removed the wilderness again it would be praised endlessly

>>16197711

The first part of my post accidentally got deleted I meant to say

The top question in the actual AMA was about the lack of customer support in game

>>16225203

>>16225239

What are the chances they are too stupid to understand how to use Jagex's internal tools for handling customer support?

Why did they stop allowing people to sell holiday items? I remember getting the Scythe. Remember the female breast plates?

>>16225239

Funny, I wanted to contact JSupport about me being permanently muted, and guess what? I tried the one on Twitter, and I was basically told to fuck off and make a new account, then I tried to see if they had any kind of support email I can contact. They fucking don't have one, wtf.

>>16225269

>Why did they stop allowing people to sell holiday items?

Probably so every holiday doesn't just turn into an autistic hoarding game where everyone makes 700 alt accounts to get as many as possible.

>giving jagex money when you could be playing Project Gorgon

>>16235921

>project gorgon

>>16235930

Is there a better use of my time rather than money?

>>16236147

Something that isn't videogames.

>>16225255

I don't think jagex has internal tools for customer support. They've always been notoriously bad for customer support, there's people who give a shit in jagex but they're overshadowed by terrible management and support.

For example the other week one of the devs in OSRS fucked up and accidentally started spawning the best bow in the game (which goes for over a billion gold) just on the ground and so they were forced to do a rollback and a lot of people died and lost items.

Mod Ash one of the original devs of the game who now works on OSRS responded to over 800 people on twitter trying to help them out. This guy who isn't customer support but one of the core devs spent countless hours of his off work time trying to sort out player's problems and their shitty customer support instead gets praised just because they have a cunt. It's really dumb jagex's management is retarded. I think the only reason the game is a success at all is because of a few extremely dedicated and talented people who take on all the responsibility while the rest of the company jacks themselves off. You always hear about the 80/20 thing where 20 percent of people take on 80 percent of the work but at jagex I think it's 95/5 where 5 percent of people take on 95 percent of the work

Runescape is gay, play Dofus instead.

>>16236273

The only reason Runescape is relevant is because the original developers made something very good. Current Jagex is just riding on that success, both teams failing miserably at properly taking care of it which is why it seems like there's a bunch of literal monkeys running the OSRS team and why RS3 completely misses the point of what made Runescape good and drifts further and further from it every day.

>>16195531

That's because modern Slayerscape is about making life easier for PvM babies. They hate PKers and they actively vote against good updates just to spite the guy who took their addy long and mithril med eight years ago; of course if you put it to a vote "remove PKing from the game" they'd be up in arms. May as well be removed, trying to find someone in the wildy outside of a bounty hunter world is nigh impossible.

The wilderness is the only place a PvM baby will ever die and LOSE their items. If you die anywhere else you have an hour to get your shit back or if you fight a boss you just pay 100k to get it back from an NPC. There is zero risk in this game outside of PvP. The only times I see people die is from AFKing.

Maybe it's just a modern "efficiency now, fun never" videogame mindset. Back in the day I'd get a slayer task for greater demons and only knew where they were because of a time when I got lured into the wilderness. Nowadays, it's go to this specific spot, setup your cannon, and afk. Don't even get me started on the fucking Nightmare Zone, a "minigame" designed to be AFKed and it's more efficient combat exp than anything else in the entire fucking game.

>>16238387

That's really weird that a death in OSRS costs around 100k, as a death in PvM in RS3 can be fairly frequent against higher tier bosses, talking death being about 2 seconds away at any point in time if you don't play well and death costs range from about 300-600k in cheapest budget gear to 6 mil or more if you're looking to be more efficient, and if you don't pay you have about 5 minutes at most to get back to your grave.

Generally just better to pay for it though as if you go to your grave you lose a bunch of item charges, and then you have to pay to repair your weapons/armour or it just degrades to dust.

I played way too much osrs chasing the fun of 2006 and 2011

Its not the same

Still kinda fun but such a waste of time

So many better games with less time investment

Dofus is infinitely better than Wakfu, is not dogshit at all.

>>16243118

>osrs is easier than rs3

can't make this shit up

>>16244671

the game went downhill when the first poll came out and people actually voted against the classic game tbh. i played an ironman as well though which is fun. as much as i love ironman though it ruined the game by making everyone even more antisocial.

i miss the really old osrs where people still sold stuff in west varrock. i also played the projectrs06 private server before osrs came out and i think that's where west varrock trading came from, besides proximity to where the ge used to be. there's really nothing like trying to buy items in no-ge runescape by reading tons of scrolling/flashing text from randoms until you get a good price. a unique experience that's buried in the rubble of the voting system.

>>16159835

the grind is the funnest thing.

>>16248303

Any game is fucked the moment they decide to listen to players instead of making decisions based on their own vision for the game. That said the amount of developers in the world who'd have valid visions for old school Runescape can be counted with 1 hand by an amputee.

There's only 2 solutions, either a fan effort to develop a private server, or an indie spiritual sequel.

>>16248336

minecrafta says hi cuck

>>16248344

Mods are not even remotely the same thing.

>>16248360

What are you even arguing here? Runescape 3 and OSRS are really popular, most people probably like the cancer that the developers shove in, that doesn't mean they're good decisions nor that they make the game better. Otherwise you'll have to agree that Fortnite is currently the best game in the world.

The same goes for your shitty lego game, in fact it's even worse because the only reason it's relevant in the first place is because mods, not because of what Notch or Mojang adds into it.

>>16248336

>option A

already pretty much done

>option B

I don't think something can emulate the feeling of real RS in the heyday. Any attempt at making a new MMO will have a better chance of if it focuses oon looking forward. I've had an idea for a roughly RS-inspired killer MMO for a while now but I've been keeping a lot of details secret because I know just how much potential it has. No idea how to actually go about finding some team to make it, though.

>>16248381

>Runescape 3 and OSRS are really popular

>most people probably like the cancer that the developers shove in, that doesn't mean they're good decisions

Pick one you stupid nigger. The object of a business is to make money.

>>16248303

They did this because they're too lazy/incompetent to stop botters from woodcutting yews. It's harder to write a script for Zulrah than it is to download an autoclicker for coal mining.

>>16248360

With Minecraft it's bit different since changes aren't as unilateral and permanent as an MMO. Players might love the idea of getting tons of rare runes dropped from a new slayer creature in the short term, but is that good for the long term heath of the game? With Minecraft, players can still mod out official changes they don't like or use a previous version of the game. With Runescape that's not possible, at least not with the official servers. Te best you can do is patch the game again later, but the damage has already been done, you can't take fairly acquired items out of the game without giving them something, and just like that the game's economy is permanently warped.

>>16248384

>already pretty much done

/v/scape or whatever isn't actively developed, that's the primarily reason I'm not interested personally. I already saw and did it all a decade ago during the lifetime of original RS2, along with all the things that were added afterwards that OSRS doesn't have.

>Any attempt at making a new MMO will have a better chance of if it focuses oon looking forward

Yeah that's what I meant, the spirit behind it can be translated to a new game and merged with new concepts.

>>16248409

We're not talking about business, we're talking about good games.

>>16248336

And don't you think the reason why they went with the drop table that enables algorithm whoring "1.7M per hour EXP at ZULRAH??" youtube videos because want to appeal to the LCD, in other words listen to the players.

>Becausee GE lead to inflation of items

Was there even a way to correctly value items before the GE?

Also, how does a marketplace cause inflation when it's inevitable to happen since theres going to be an endless amount of people, grinding materials, to sell them for varying prices. All it did was make it easier to get stuff without having to filter through a shit-ton of chat spam to find what you want, deal with people trying to scam, dealing with dumb asses who say they're trading something and say "offer" and you give a reasonable price and they say "No" and then log off.

Here's the real problem GE caused: It made getting various skills way too easy. Now you can just sit there, casting high alch, or fletch, or do herblore shit, sell your stuff, buy more, and just do it endlessly. That shit is fucking boring.

Also, does anyone else remember when getting herbs was a gamble? You couldn't find out what it was unless you tried cleaning it and then you'd get a "Needs X level to clean" so people would say they're selling ranarr herbs but end up being guam because there was no fucking way to check?

>>16160189

Prices are set by Jagex and Jagex are protectionist faggots who are afraid of merch clans crashing twisted bows to 1gp.

>>16160321

The GE didn't lead to the inflation of items, items not leaving the game or exchanging hands without fucking gold did.

Due to constant DDoS attacks Jagex changed the way the game functioned so that when you died your items lasted on the ground for 40 minutes and were NEVER available to other people to pick up.

Nearly every single death in game is a safe death nobody ever loses items except to pvp.

There's no more lucking out to someone dying near you due to negligence and you profiting from someone's mistake, there's no more items just disappearing on the ground due to no one claiming them.

PvMer banks NEVER lose value and only ever grow. That's leading to far more item inflation than anything else in game

>>16251623

yeah, this. exactly how I feel about it… yet, whemever I expressed those same details, I am usually (by OSRS players), to just step out of my nostalgia bubble, etc..

Yea I try to watch the legs since my hearing is shit anyway but I was too focused on the healers and not that familiar with the blowpipe range so I ran into his melee trying to get the last one. Ill get it next time, just have to bring myself to sit through the waves without falling asleep. I also cant believe how good the blowpipe is, back then all we had was the crystal bow.

>>16254040

Same shit here man, put on my ranged gear and brought guthans, sara godsword, couple of sharks and the rest prayer pots. I always end up postponing stuff like the lava cape and the fighter torso.

>>16254112

I just can't bring myself to grind hard like others do. I mean, I've gotten a pretty skilled up account with everything above 70 but nothing above 87. It's just such a hassle to do, and I've got no one to do it with anyways. The last thing I was roll my two free chests and get a lucky arma godsword and lucky chaotic off hand claws. RS3 if it wasn't obvious by now.

>>16254342

My original character is still stuck in RS3, never bothered to play it after I quit so many years ago. It's almost a different game now so I might give it a try sometime in the future, how "dead" is RS3?

>I just can't bring myself to grind hard like others do

I have the same thing, I see people do their entire agility grind to full graceful outfit/70 agility and I cant even be bothered to do more than 20 laps even though levelling everything is now so much easier than I was used to. I always go back to slayer and even that isnt "high" for someone with my playtime. It just feels weird in this game, normally im always one of those faggots who maxes characters and grinds obscene amounts of shit but I somehow lost that spark in runescape. I still enjoy playing it but I feel like a casual.

>>16267189

It really bothers me how badly everything fits together. It's something I've noticed in pretty much all of RS3, it's as if they give some interns projects like "make a ship" or "make a tower", then they make it as detailed and cool looking as possible while having no context of where in the world it is and what's around it.

I mean look at that wizard's tower, you have a very detailed and elaborate and posh marble tower with futuristic diagonal support pillars and mystical alien-like lamps… in the middle of a swamp with a shitty ass molding tree in front of it.

This is a large part of why the world feels so soulless.

>cooked items more expensive than raw

What the fuck is this shit?

>>16276877

More like why is it the other way around in modern Runescape, when it's normal for processed items to be worth more than raw goods in any economy.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ever came to light that cooked food being less expensive than raw food helps contribute to the exclusive focus on PvM and raiding content at the expense of everything else. As PvM requires the lowest amount of startup capital by far and has very low upkeep costs which would all be the partial result of undervalued cooked food items.

>>16160321

>GE.

>Not the “Print Money” spell.

The Runescape economy became permanent shenanigans at the moment High Alchemy became profitable.

>>16267239

They aren't building a world anymore. Everything has to be big, everything has to be EPIC. Of course it doesn't fit together, everything is designed as one grand set piece to be the next WoWkiller or whatever gets their investors moist. I could ramble on for hours about the removal of highs and lows into endless visual noise or soulless assembly line design, but it's true of the whole game industry, and industrialized media as a whole. It has been for some time. You can blame it on a team size too big for everyone to understand the world or the bigger corporate structure of the new Jagex, but either way it all comes down to blasting the player with as much shiny garbage as possible in the hopes that it opens up their wallet.

>>16277194

>Also it would make the most sense to put the Grand Exchange into Ardougne Market.

You're forgetting non-members exist and wouldn't have a grand exchange if that happened.

The fact of the matter is the map isn't going to see a rework on these scales because it's too much effort.

Jagex have got their hands full patching up all the shoddy holes still left behind from eoc.

There's a swamp directly to the east of al karid, not sure irl logic was what the gowers had in mind when making the map?

>>16282980

to be fair, Zanaris was meant to be an underground kingdom in RSC and not the otherworldly realm between realms that it was in RS2 (or the dumbass moon retcon in RS3). That's why the exit in the market leads to Al-Kharid, it geographically matches where the location would be underground

nevermind the fact that every input in rs3 takes 0.6 seconds to register, due to the almost 20 year old game engine. devs refuse to fix it because "it would mean rewriting the entire game", which apparently is too much for the imported bangalore pajeet "programmers" to do

tl;dr fuck rs3

osrs isnt much better

>>16304529

> takes 0.6 seconds to register

why did they make it that way anyway?

>>16304529

Runescape needs a reboot that doesn't carry any of the baggage of RS3 nor old school Runescape nor the current developers. I wish there was a private server that developed the game into a new direction.

>>16304716

Doing it that way is much easier both in terms of development and in terms of network traffic, you don't need to track movement/aiming nor adjust for differences between what the player sees and what the server sees. Gotta remember that Runescape was started by 2 guys from their mom's house.

>I wish there was a private server that developed the game into a new direction.

Darkscape was fun for a while, too bad is was unpolished and never got the backing it so well deserved. The game would have been perfect if the combat was balanced better.

>Doing it that way is much easier both in terms of development and in terms of network traffic, you don't need to track movement/aiming nor adjust for differences between what the player sees and what the server sees.

I'm fairly new into game dev, moreso when it comes to networking but isn't doing it the other way basically updating and rendering certain things client side and then checking with the server to see if the action was legal else revert?

>>16307112

Basically yes, but it can get complicated in certain situations. The server should ideally be a little bit flexible and try to determine whether your given action is within a range of possibility, otherwise you'll get a lot more rubberbanding. For example if you spam your movement keys and use abilities and stuff and maybe there's even a lag spike mixed in, the server needs to be able to figure out if the location you claim to be in is possible and if you weren't in the middle of some animation during each given action. And that's not yet accounting how players see other players because that adds another layer of disconnection.

In any case the way Runescape does it is just significantly simpler, the client just requests the action from the server and then applies it when/if successful, the server has absolute rule in regards to what happens and what players see. It also has an advantage in that everything is in sync and things happen in the same order for everyone.

Why do faggots like you even use 8/v/? Like what's the point? Do you think you're going to convince people that degeneracy and pozz in video games is a good thing? That it shouldn't be avoided and derided like the plague?

>>16180986

>butthurt about a rainbow colored scarf

I can't wait to dump you fags out of a helicopter. See how butthurt you are about a bit of water.

>>16309115

wew. I thought their worst fuckup yet had been that gay pride bullshit they tried to shove down everyone's throats.

>>16309129

The password system has been defunct since the day it came out. Special characters are disallowed, and the passwords aren't actually case sensitive. You can log in using either one.

>>16309129

I remember thinking back in the day how slayer was such a missed opportinuty but regardless I still loved the skill, at least I did back in 07. How did they fuck up slayer in os?

>>16309240

It's too OP and basically the number one money making method and completely devalues any sort of skilling because high level slayer tasks and slayer bosses drop tons of resources

>>16309129

>spicy fuckup stories

you got it chief. these are rs3 stories though

>Mod Pi, responsible for designing most, if not all of the EoC combat system, develops Bounty Hunter for RS3

>no real problem with how it worked

>decent rewards (upgrade sets for armor sets that actually make them relevant, okay weapons. rune pouches (that function exactly as the osrs equivalent) etc)

>releases in 2016

>devs fail to realize that nobody pvps in rs3 anymore, 99 percent of it was killed after the release of eoc

>absolutely nobody plays the game

>players just farm emblem tiers for points for rewards off of eachother

>devs make it so the chance of an emblem upgrade on a kill is significantly lowered

>players just make bots that farm the rewards instead

>supply of bounty hunter rewards is massively inflated as a result

>this shit continues until march 2019 when they finally shut bounty hunter down and redistribute the rewards across shitty pvm content

>months prior to this, redditors write long bawposts about getting skulltricked for money/other expensive shit in the wilderness

>they are so pathetic that they start collective upvote-fueled efforts to literally remove pvp in the wilderness

only time can tell where that will lead

fuckup number 2:

>elven clan cape dupe bug

>worked exactly like the crucible dupe

>though not as destructive as the crucible dupe, it was still bad

>dupe 28 elven clan capes worth 1m each

>die in the wilderness to an alt

>wow 28m

>repeat

fuckup number 3:

>rs3 looks at deadman mode and sees the viewercount that it pulls

>not wanting to be outdone, they create their own event

>Dimension of the Damned

>create your own weapons, armor and food and survive against a zombie horde while "the miasma" gets closer and closer to a chokepoint

>barely anyone gives a shit

>a handful of players participate because why the fuck not

>finals get delayed by a week

>when it starts, the game is already put in an "endgame state"

>miasma in a place where it wasnt supposed to be

>tons of players immediately die

>devs admit their screwup

>as a consolation, devs give the top 1000 players an in game pet that was only supposed to go to the top 50

>>16309383

what the FUCK is THAT?

>>16309438

you can swap between the old model and the new model

Another fuckup:

>jagex accidentally give people def exp, ruining 1 def pures

>promises to give it back

>only advertises it on twitter, not ingame or officially, so many players miss out on it

>they reset some defense levels

>fucks up reset the def level of the wrong accounts

>later fix it

>accidentally give someone 70 million exp instead of 7 million

>shoots up to the top of the leaderboards

>they fix that too

My favorite fuckup

>guy dies to a glitch in RS3

>manually give him his items back

>instead of giving him a one (1) archer ring, they give him several million archer rings instead

>he dumps them all on the market

>best ring in the game is suddenly dirt cheap

>5 years pass

>archer ring still hasn't slightly recovered

>jagex made a new policy of not returning items because of their fuckup

There's a similar fuckup where they massively buffed a useless item for no particular reason, and one of their devs happened to have tons of them stockpiled. Not nearly as bad as that other mod that stole billions of GP from users and probably leaked credit card info, but still bad.

>>16310009

they also had to delay the "final hour" multiple times to the point where it lasted four hours total, and the guy who won the final ended up winning through a glitch that restored his health and prayer back to full before the fight ended

>>16310009

Wtf? How, why, what?

>>16310000 (checked)

>the archer ring dupe

fuck, how could I forget about that?

something similar happened to the mages book.

>supplies of mages book somehow explodes in quantity

>price drops from 500k to 30k

>devs claim that its not caused by a glitch or a dupe

>manually removes mages books from players that bought mages books in bulk

>>16309129

The biggest fuckup you'll ever need is the amazing launch day of dungeoneering.

I will never see a game glitch out so badly as much as that day.

>>16310000

>There's a similar fuckup where they massively buffed a useless item for no particular reason, and one of their devs happened to have tons of them stockpiled

Oh yeah, the rock gloves or something? I remember that shitstorm

>>16311185

the rock climbing boots that shot from 500gp to 76k each

i dont know anything about a dev having a stockpile of them but i wouldnt doubt it for a second

>>16311412

I'm fairly sure the devs, or a friend of theirs had a stockpile of at least 1k boots.

>>16310776

The gear itself was nothing special, but because the guy left the main tournament area he had to be taken out as that was against the rules

>>16311871

Human Trafficking confirmed

>>16309312

addendum to number 2: the bug was introduced with the release of prifddinas in late 2014 and the bug remained in the game for a couple of months or so. for a fucking DUPE BUG to remain in a MMORPG for "a couple of months" is absolutely fucking horrendous

>>16309115

>They have no customer support,

their "customer support" works as such that you post your issue on plebbit, and depending on whether it gets upboated or not, you may or may not get help with your issue.

Tweeting your issue to a mod may work, assuming you have sucked his dick first. Don't bother if you're tweeting a female jmod, theyre not going to care about you since there are too many beta orbiters trying to get to their pussy by telling them how brave and amazing they are.

forget about using the actual ticket submission system, if you by some miracle actually find it in the first place; your ticket with either be dismissed by the most retarded bot, read by a quality assurance monkey that most likely does not know english, or just be completely ignored.
