Runescape V8 - I don't know, I just wanted a runescape thread that wasn't about the 2007 version - Games

Isn't that against some kind of rule, or at least in poor taste?

What do you mean? How is it wrong?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;51606622]Isn't that against some kind of rule, or at least in poor taste?[/QUOTE] As long as he's not using one to benefit the other (or botting), multiple logging like that is within reason. (according to a Mod on reddit some months back)

let us never forget this intrepid hero [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XGkeF2s.png[/IMG] I've been unable to find him ever since

ur hacked now im sorry

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;51606622]Isn't that against some kind of rule, or at least in poor taste?[/QUOTE] No. Previously it used to be against the rules to log in on multiple accounts at once. But a couple of years back they removed that rule, now you're allowed to play any amount of accounts at once and do anything that isn't considered boosting/exploiting(such as boosting castle wars) the system. Most people play multiple accounts, especially at the top end, where people play 2-3 accounts at once, making money on 1-2 to fund their main account.

I finally got void today. never again

did you get all the headgear?

nah fuck that only need the range one. Also found this gem in blue dragons [t]http://i.imgur.com/0N9bgO9.png[/t]

Well apparently one of the bows is op as fuck hitting constant 70-80s on general grandor so I'd say item wise pretty bad

the raids prove that EOC was needed for any hard, effective pve content. People are already farming them (first rs3 raid was finished 9 afters after it came out, with osrs it was an hour), theres barely anything that the players have to do (outside of attack a crystal or feed grubs) since each boss has a gimmick, but thats about it. Drops are also hilariously unbalanced where one of the bows 4 shots dag prime.

osrs > easyscape 3

It's just people learn the best ways to do things fast, word spreads and soon you have people doing things in the most optimal fashion, the very same thing happens in RS3 even [I]with[/I] the EOC and in regards to the whole drops thing, well yeah, balances must be met, changes may be made, but they'll take what the players have to say into account in that regard and balance accordingly, just like they did with the Wintertotd.

Optimal anything has nothing to do with it, the raids in osrs are bad. Even reddit agrees with that.

Give them RS3's engine upgrades and they'd be cooking with fire, that's all they need, the EOC has nothing to do with "good content" RS3 was chock full of content rich updates before the EOC that was tough as nails, hell I'd say the EOC made a lot of that content [I]easier[/I]. [QUOTE=Naught;51629328]Even reddit agrees with that.[/QUOTE] Reddit bitches about everything, what else is new.

Since that first dungeon run kill took 1hr to complete; 3hrs after it was released. Atleast osrs raid dungeons are more in-line with other mmo raids unlike rs3 which is just a arena battle. You can't really say the drops are "hilariously unbalanced" cause people don't know the full mechanics to not die, which heavily weighs on what rewards you get, also that bow hasn't been fully tested ingame other than a dev showing it off onstream with max gear/prayer with god mode on.

You mean that World of Warcraft clone of a combat system with a built in .4 second delay making the entire experience feel clunky. Yeah, ok! :goodjob:

I have done barrows like 20 times and already gotten 3 barrows item worth about 4 mil. Am I lucky or is that average?

[QUOTE=gastyne;51635864]I have done barrows like 20 times and already gotten 3 barrows item worth about 4 mil. Am I lucky or is that average?[/QUOTE] Lucky. I did about 15 the other day and with a ring of wealth and all brothers killed, got 0 barrows pieces and maybe made 20k after food expenses and my time wasted.

[QUOTE=gastyne;51635864]I have done barrows like 20 times and already gotten 3 barrows item worth about 4 mil. Am I lucky or is that average?[/QUOTE] Lucky, average drop rate is 1/16. You should do the Morytania hard diaries for double runes if you haven't already, not really worth doing barrows without that bonus.

Thing is, RS3's population has been on a steady decline while osrs's population has always been flourishing since 2014. Our subreddit is 10x more popular than rs3's The main, and most popular runescape youtubers revolve around osrs content OSRS streamers easily compose of around 90-95% of the viewers for the Runescape twitch channel

If I want to play a point and click adventure, I wouldn't play RS

Honestly the whole release with osrs shows how terrible rs3 has become. If you need to release an older version of your game to get more players you have done something wrong.

I don't think that has to be true, they're almost different games now and different people enjoy different games. But the playercount doesn't lie, despite osrs existing for a shorter time the playercount is now pretty much always a few thousand people higher than rs3.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51640899]Rs3 will always be stunted because of microtransactions. They will always, always take away from your game directly or indirectly.[/QUOTE] That's one of the reasons I stopped playing. I could honestly handle the EOC, despite not being a fan of it, but the constant never ending microtransactions are what really made me stop playing, especially when they started [I]really[/I] shilling the P2W aspects and all of the overpowered promo items, or rare items you can sell for tons of gold, all of this and more you can get if you pay money through our gambling system! Another thing, I fucking hate key based crate systems. [editline]edit[/editline] Also not a fan of a lot of the cosmetic items that I feel took away from the art style. [editline]edit[/editline] Just realized it's basically the same problem I have with TF2, expect TF2 didn't get a total overhaul gameplay wise that also put me off playing.

Osrs hit 70k players today, beating the 69k record back in 2013. Lets go boys

In modern runescape, you can get a Guthixian Butterfly pet from Diango if you talk to him normally, then enter the code 0800488449. there were lots of people standing at him hours earlier wondering why the code didn't work, when it turned out that they right clicked him for the code menu, instead of talking to him about forgotten memories. Shame it isn't an override. i wonder what the Guthixian Temple's perks would be, the video mentioned something about divination wisps. but im kinda hoping that they'd at least enhance the amount of divine spots you can create a day, or maybe even some new types of porters...or just letting the player use Porters from the inventory, but filter the drops. Also it seems like Xau-Tak is getting his event. if the BTS means anything for the year. should be similar to the Birth of Fire event to the Queen of Ashes. Vic is coming back...better hoard up that bonus xp for whatever he has, and bonus xp weekend is in feb.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51640899]Rs3 will always be stunted because of microtransactions. They will always, always take away from your game directly or indirectly.[/QUOTE] I don't really mind microtransactions, it's just the shady P2W methods that Jagex employ to grab money from it's playerbase which is pretty disgusting. If you want to compete on any level, you're pretty much forced to spend thousands of dollars on the game [U][B]just to be on par with everyone else.[/B][/U] It goes against the spirit of Runescape, in my opinion, and it's not weird that the Gowers have pretty much denounced Runescape 3.
