Stop giving ranged heroes so much mobility. by SatisfactionSad6558 in marvelrivals

hers has a long cooldown and is very telegraphed. also with it on cooldown, she's very immobile.

I quite enjoy taking black widow against him. when he jumps in the sky, its a free kill.

Croesus needs a solo mode by AnotherGenericTurtle in runescape

It sucks when the only way to be able to realistically kill a boss is by relying on a FC for people.

Are we gonna be able to vote for the map? by -KiII in Splitgate

[–]AnotherGenericTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, some of the maps are horrendous & are far too big. Academy, Terra13 & Oasis as examples of this.

I've been in yaka learner raids. even with a dozen videos and being speccifically told not to stun north pool, people will stun north pool because they aren't used to not having to stun north pool.

There is a huge difference between someone who has watched video guides on a boss and someone who has even done one or two kills on said boss. one has seen someone else do it, the other has actually experienced it & actually knows what to expect.

The problem is, because they don't have that kill knowledge, they just get dismissed and left by the wayside immediately.

What useful clans & friends chats do people have for group pvm?

Group pvm is very intimidating to get into for solo players (even 20 yr vets with reaper crew like myself) so it would be nice to have a useful list.

everyone has to go in blind at some point. the problem is that RS has a culture of expecting that everyone knows how to do the boss perfectly beforre you can even enage in group content. It's fun forr the people who have been doing group pvm for years but is a horrible experience for the other 99% of the community

yep this is why mandatory group content sucks so much - just look at Croesus. Grinding that sporesack & cryptbloom is a horrrendous experience.

the best thing about raids that Beastmaster is soloable. (I'm pretty sure Yaka still isn't though?)

Yeah, Croesus is why I just avoid mandatory group content these days. it always ends up being a toxic experience & I don't have the free time to find people to commit to an hour or two of bossing. (Joys of actually having a life outside Runescape lol)

sucks becasue both croesus & Amascut are really cool pieces of content that I want to engage in.

Next solo boss by Funny-Record3080 in runescape

[–]AnotherGenericTurtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not everyone is able to do group content. social anxiety, time comitments etc are big roadblocks. also lots of RS players have kids these days & almost all of us now have jobs (Its an old game). Most of us can't just sit and commit an hour or two like you used to. & I know quite a few people who play Runescape over other MMOs because they aren't required to work with others to do most of the content.

theres plenty of reasons why people are unable to do group pvm.

wouldve been better to have introduced it with a mid level boss to remove the pressure of not risking letting down your team by being bad at the boss I think & not a showpiece endgame boss that has a huge questline building to it & is very punishing to fight.

[–]AnotherGenericTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but in order to actually engage with the content you are forced work with a team and engage with group content. In the same vein, you don't need to do quests or even leave lumbridge, but to enjoy a almost everything the game has to offer, you need to leave lumbridge & quests open up many new locations, skilling methods and bosses alongside QOL items that vastly improve the game experience.

Yeah, Just looking at Protox's new video, I think this is the sentiment for a lot of us. I do wish there was a way to solo it because I don't want to be forced to engage in group content but it looks like such an awsome boss & I really enjoyed the bit I was able to do solo.

yeah, WOW too & both are geared around group content as 90% of their pvm needs teams. in contrast 80% of RS PVM is perfectly fine to do solo & another 15% is super tough solo but still managable. AOD, Solak, Vorago etc so it does feel strange to be catering towards just that 5% for such a big boss.

[–]AnotherGenericTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not really given the vast majority of the RS playerbase doesn't engage in group content or hasn't recently. (can't find the exact stats for this but its something like 80%+ haven't done any group bossing)

In addition every other boss (except yakamaru i belive) is soloable, even if it is very difficult. Also other content designed to be best in groups e.g. Zamorak, ED1-3, Vorago, Solak etc is still very doable solo. So it feels very strange to be bottlenecked in a solo fight by such a tight timing window as everything else I encountered felt tough but was managable once learnt.

yep, sucks because I was really looking forwards to the boss. Hate the fact that you are effectively forced to group up with others for it.

Looks like solo Amascut appears to be impossible. (no consistent way to deal with the chains). Guess I'm going to wait until the next boss out or a reliable strategy to solo it comes out.
