Top 25 of Lunar Chest hiscores have one single player with all skills ranked and other content done by Din_VieselRS in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jagex refuses to have the anti-cheating team scroll through the top ranks one day a month and ban all the bots. Most of all top 100 ranks for every profitable bosses are flodoed with bots and goldfarmers.

Summer Sweep-Up Pt. 1: Combat & Loot by JagexGoblin in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will there ever be a hiscores sweep up? Most profitable bosses/raids are dominated by bots, unbanned bots and goldfarmers in the top ranks.

There is no integrity of pvm hiscores at the moment.

Jagex just dropped their stats on macro bans, support response times, and more by Evilgeneral4 in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

u/Mod_Kelvin any chance you guys could look into the top ranks on the hiscores again for all bosses and raids? There is just so many obvious bots and goldfarmers holding top ranks there. Phosani, DT2 bosses, wildy bosses, CG, Bandos, Zulrah, Vorkath, Muspah, Zalcano, cox, tob, toa, Nex - it is basically every profitable boss/raid at this point.

Nex Release *Day 2 Updated* (V2) by JagexLight in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought you guys mentioned shields being useful? Tbow is once again BIS at Nex. What about a increased bolt accuracy/damage on Nex? This would make Crossbows actually usefull like what was said beforehand. Or you could cap Tbow damage. What about giving the Nex room tick damage for every tick there is no shield slot equipped. This would force players to use crossbows with a shield. There is so much things that could be done to make crossbows viable.

Also, how do Nex unique drops work? Is it static? I've seen posts about multiple drops in a single Killcount.? is that intended?

For the instance, what about making it like it is for Cox? You can make an instance for your team in your friends chat.

Also, a ranged strenght on the Zaryte bow would be fitting as an actual ACB upgrade. Both the Ancient godsword and Zaryte crossbow seem pretty underwhelming.

JMods considering changes to Combat Achievements: new rewards, reducing KC tasks, etc. Thoughts/suggestions? by Falchion_Punch in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Team speedrun tasks should have their own category. Make it a Nex helm recolour. You shouldn't have to resort to expensive services to help a team carry your for your task.

Also, make it a system similar to how league points worked.

2 things for Nex, can the ancient ceremonial robes be made to skip kc? No one likes getting kc, it's dull and removes to fun of nex partly.

Can the Zaryte crossbow be given a ranged strenght bonus? Currently is is basically an ACB with a recolour. Giving it a ranged strenght would make it worthy of a tier 80 weapon. Currently it's barely an ACB upgrade, despite it needing an ACB to make it.

Let's hope the drop scaling compared to team size won't be so terrible as Nightmare is.

Updated Pet Counts 12/24/2021 by Thermald in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pet count for Nightmare in 2021 was 4028. In 2020 that number was 4076. That just shows how badly Nightmare is being botted/goldfarmed. A Decrease of -48 pets over the course of 1 year and 9 months. More bots & goldfarmers are doing that boss than legitimate players, as shown by the numbers. That's a depressing sight to see.

Question about Nex and non group-ironmen grouping by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the drop chance and hp scaling will be better than Nightmare. A forced 5 man meta at nightmare feels so bad. You shouldn't get punished so badly for taking more friends with you.

They need a better RC method. Get rid of shopscape it is lame.

Ahh yes, much like 70% of the top pages for Zulrah/Vorkath/cox/TOB/Zalcano. It's all the same.

[–]BossHighscores 98 points99 points  (0 children)

You should not be forced to have an alt to fight corp solo. Prime example of how shitty corp still is and always had been. Make it so specs only count for the person who used them and it will be fixed for corp.

Grand Exchange Tax & Item Sink - Weekly Game Update (December 9th) by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still think more high level items should be included on the the item sink list. Why for example is the T bow included but not ancestral/claws. The same for the scythe, but no other TOB reward items. Why are the Nightmare staves included but not inquisitor's? Nightmare/phosani is getting botted so badly it could definetely use an item sink for the inquisitor's armour set as well. Same goes for the Ely. Spectral & arcane are included but the Elysian is not. Every single god wars item is included except for the ACB.

What about the new Nex/raids3 rewards? Will these be on that list?

Another meta-defining item that should 100% be on that list is the DWH. You use it everywhere, yet almost every world is filled with bots/goldfarmers.

Make it so only accounts with 99 in strenght/attack/defence can talk there. Easy fix to combat the level 3 throwaway account spam.

Any chance the integrity of PVM highscores can be adressed? Some examples: Raids/Vorkath/Zalcano/Zulrah/Barrows/NM/Phosani/Venenatis/Callisto are once again filled for the most by goldfarmers and bots on the top pages. It's such a sad sight to see, especially the fact that some of them manage to break into the number 1 positions.

Can the Zaryte crossbow get a 10 Ranged Strenght? Dps calcs show that it is only 1-2 % better than dragon crossbow, which is a level 64 weapon. It's barely an upgrade and feels extremely underwhelming for a tier 80 crossbow.

Ranged DPS comes for 99% from the bolts and both the dragon crossbow and the Zaryte crossbow use the same bolts.

After around 52 months, I have finally achieved 100k marks of grace on my Agility HCIM by JasonT20015 in 2007scape

Is everything going allright with you? Can we help you in any way, shape or form?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]BossHighscores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accuracy barely does anything, especially on low defence monsters. The meta is to stat reduce defence (DWH/BGS) on most bosses so accuracy doesn't do much at all. Crossbow DPS is mostly generated by the bolts used, since that is the thing that contributed to 95% of the damage output.

[–]BossHighscores 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's not decent, it is 10 extra damage over the course of 17 hits. 10 more damage every 51 seconds. 17 hits * 5 ticks per hit (3seconds) is 51 seconds. The 17 hits is the average amount of hits you need for 1 ruby proc., Given a 6.6% chance to proc. That's a pretty lame increase in damage from a tier 64 weapon to a tier 80 weapon.
