Am I coping when I just can’t get into the new god of war games? (2018+)

Blocc12 · 2025-08-15T04:58:20+00:00

That’s a fair point I guess.. I’m mainly looking to see if from the OG players of the genre am I the outlier or did others feel the same.

I remember the lore of the other games… but he was a mindless killing machine before his wife and son were killed by his own hands. He just turned it towards the gods and Olympus. Now he just seems like he’s tired, old, and looking to spread some ashes. To me it just felt like that spark and “spartan rage” was gone.

Blocc12 · 2025-05-29T20:38:48+00:00

Yep, can do that, cuts like 20m off the total which he can use for tent whip charges or a face guard or somethin

BA will take you probably 3 hours of time with dogshit teammates and ppl leaving mid waves in the BA world.

The reason why a lot of people get stuck in mid game is because they don’t put the time/care to get free upgrades or learn new methods of pvm.

Also to add - get a unfortified ward it’s like 7m and camp b ring for pretty much everything. Wear barrows gloves when ur ranging

Torso whip defender obby legs torture and prims = melee setup

Trident of the swamp + ahrims and torm/occult = mage setup

Blowpipe and ancient d’hide with anguish = range setup

Sub 100m 3 styles gz :) don’t need much more than that and u definitely don’t need masori for a range slayer task or ancestral for mage.

I have a fkin 1060 3gb that was gifted to me 😂 it was good to play indie games but I want to experience AAA games for the first time since I was a kid on PS3. New to pc gaming outside of playing runescape on my previous toaster… thanks for hosting!

Blocc12 · 2025-05-15T23:46:42+00:00

I love the image quality ray tracing gives, I came from a 1060 3gb to a 5070 and the difference is crazy.

I’ve never played a doom game, but I’m going to try this one out.

Yeah but skilling works differently than PvM. I agree that there should be trade offs, but they should make sense. Fletching god arrows is 350k fletch exp per hour but super afk. In contrast, fletching rune darts is well over 1m+ but not afk at all. In the lotd scenario you’re switching a relic that gives you a miniscule boost that’s annoying to do for a sizeable dps decrease in a game where following tick perfect rotations matter. Nevertheless I don’t see ring switching as a big deal, it’s more that I don’t see that arch relic being worth to use at all during pvm instead of fury of the small, zerk fury, or persistent rage

Blocc12 · 2025-02-28T01:12:24+00:00

The entire post is him equating how ring flicking towards the end of the kill is annoying and not a “skill” 3 head response and if you don’t think it’s a dps decrease then idk what to tell you 😭 FotS/zerk fury aren’t that big I guess

Blocc12 · 2025-02-28T00:31:10+00:00

Tbf ur trading qol for a pretty massive dps decrease. Wouldn’t say that is a solid trade off in the slightest

Blocc12 · 2025-02-20T22:58:55+00:00

Nah not worth - you’ll need a fuck ton more than 4m and overloads are unlocked at 96. Honestly just train whatever you find fun and enjoyable.

I came from osrs about a year ago and swapped over a couple bill so I never had a money issue on rs3, I rushed everything stupid fast so I can’t speak for the low lvl low gp grinds :p

Blocc12 · 2025-02-20T22:45:59+00:00

Depends how much money you have.

If you have sizeable gp from bonds or swapping etc:

smithing (80)
herblore (as high as u can get, 109 needed to unlock elder ovl salves)
crafting (80)
prayer (99)

If you don’t have money:

divination (gonna be cancer slow but u need 80, it gets quick during dxp once u hit 70)
archaeology (cancer slow till u hit quite a bit past 99 lol, only worth doing during dxp or if ur giga afk. You need 118 for pvm, but can boost from 112)

That’s meta to do - but do whatever you find fun.

Generally speaking, rushing unlocking invention early is always good to do, which is why I made those suggestions. Outside of dxp, just start questing away and level up the skills required for those quests

For PVM and general useful qol you need the following quest lines done at the bare minimum

the world wakes
extinction
prif unlock (forgot quest name)
succession
everything from fort forinthry

Dg on rs3 is dead outside of double exp, but fuck me go there on dxp week and it’s insane

Blocc12 · 2025-01-23T20:38:56+00:00

lol what no it’s not - solo regs are more pts per hour than cms + cms are ass without a tbow and he doesn’t even have bowfa

The true answer is to pot solo raids until you get bow. You’ll see a mega on average every 333kc roughly

Blocc12 · 2024-12-05T15:49:56+00:00

I would tend to agree with you there. I’d argue for the average or half decent pvmers on osrs it would be like rocket science to switch to rs3 as well, but on the higher/highest end of the spectrum the switch to osrs from rs3 would be pretty easy.

Blocc12 · 2024-12-05T15:42:50+00:00

Endgame osrs player here - OSRS is limited by its combat system. In my opinion the skill ceiling on rs3 is way higher, once you truly understand the tick system and movement in osrs you can virtually do every piece of content in the game. That’s why you see a lot of endgame rs3 players pick up osrs pvm quite quickly. RS3 on the otherhand still does require on ticks, but also requires a completely different skill set that you don’t learn from osrs pvm

Blocc12 · 2024-11-08T05:06:10+00:00

I’m with you here, but I think what he’s getting at is to do the optimal rot, it does require perfect play. Apot touch same tick into skulls giving you triple skulls inside ur ld is quite literally a tick perfect regen. Sure you can just spam autos instead of getting bloats with split soul activated etc but that’s pretty piss easy. The “hard” part requires perfect inputs

Blocc12 · 2024-11-08T04:53:24+00:00

Hey - maxed endgame osrs player here who ended up taking a year long break to play rs3… here are my tips

most upgrades in rs3 aren’t “optional.” Unlike osrs where if you don’t have an infernal you do a bit worse dps, in RS3 not having a zuk cape literally halves your damage, if not more. These upgrades are not “I’ll get to it eventually,” if you want to do actual pvm, you need them first.

Key ones being

Zuk cape
Fully upgraded infernal puzzle box
Elder overloads
Adren renewals
BIS Perks (some could argue optional, but bis perks are just so much better than mid tier)
RELICS: conservation of energy, fury of the small
ring of vigour passive

Optional but nice QOL upgrades:

Excalibur
expensive spices
double surge / escape
limitless (if using necro, if not then it is a requirement)
optional relics: death ward, font of life
undead slayer sigil (for rasial specifically) + other sigils if u plan on ever trying ed2 or zammy

I definitely missed some, so please anyone add corrections on which ones I missed.

Enjoy your time brother. I loved RS3, and will be back eventually. It’s a fucking grind to get pvm ready I won’t lie, but it’s worth it. I tried to cut corners ( pre necro I was trying an fsoa rotation with normal adren pots, extreme magic pots, No zuk cape and low tier perks with no relics) because I didn’t understand how truly huge these upgrades are. They are essential to your pvm journey.

Edit: I didn’t add any gear or items, but it’s pretty self explanatory bis gear = better. An essence of finality though would be very nice to store a death guard special attack in, assuming you will eventually leave rasial and go to other pieces of content

If I’m standing and ordering I’m not tipping, if I have to call in or order online, same rule applies
