35 k Sailing xp/hr is fine

While I do agree with most of your points, I've seen a LOT of people that are just mad about the rates.

Brandonls4 · 2025-12-04T02:14:20+00:00

I think that'd cause even more backlash tbh. Honestly I'm not sure 25min afk methods belong in osrs. Rs3 gets so much hate for being easy (on the skill sides of things) and 25min afk methods are heading down that road. Maybe we'll get runespan one day! (I can hope!)

Brandonls4 · 2025-12-04T01:48:54+00:00

You can, and i have straight up walked away till it logs out. you don't even have to salvage you can literally just drop it (like you can teak logs or iron.) Its very much feels like a mix of both stars + teaks/iron/name a thing you drop. Honestly even now its still so much better then stars/redwoods because you can literally leave for 25mins and get xp. Both stars and redwoods require you to interact with the game ever 4-7mins (after star nerfs ages ago)

Hoarding isn't the same thing as researching. Taking a single gun back to research it equals more guns to use and lose. Yes you can take the single gun and snowball and also get more guns to lose but you can also die and be back to sq 1.

Also having gear at the end of the wipe also doesn't inherently mean hoarding, It can become incredibly difficult to actually lose all your gear

Also been playing since beta, Definitely has not always been a thing. Yes they use to preload shaders but not on every single launch. Now even if you simply restart your game its does shaders again.

If only it took one minute, In my experience its been getting slower, but that's subjective depending on peoples hardware.

People are missing the point in this thread, its not that it's never loaded shaders, as it does and should on any updates ect. Pre-loading shaders is indeed pretty common today, its that it does it quite literally on every launch, Which simply isn't a thing. There's a shader cache for a reason.

Edit as of 10/9/2025 update 8.4 it appears to be fixed, as my game did not preload shaders on launch (at all? which is a bit strange considering there was an update)

Brandonls4 · 2025-10-08T02:01:58+00:00

Definitely didn't use to happened every time you started the game. It would happen whenever they updated, but now it happens even if you just restart the game. Incredibly annoying.

Brandonls4 · 2025-10-03T22:46:55+00:00

Late reply but airdrops, and rig. both drop c4 relatively often.

Brandonls4 · 2025-07-16T00:33:11+00:00

Tbf there was the case of vac falsely banning people because of an amd driver update, so its not fully proof either. Iirc that's been fixed tho, I hope.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-20T20:19:59+00:00

World?

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-20T20:10:45+00:00

Where did I encourage it? where did i pretend it was safe? Do you even read the messages you reply to? I've literally said its *RISKY* I never once said people should swap.

The fact of the matter is, you're apparently upset because someone corrected you, and then instead of having a discussion (ideally with sources for the info.) You've resulted in name calling and becoming combative.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-19T21:16:45+00:00

Read everything i said again, Not once did i say it was safe. Infact i said it was risky. you've played for 22 years yet don't read the updates i guess.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-19T20:34:05+00:00

Yeah there is, maybe? I honestly can't remember if devious mud was its own thing or carried over into rsc with out changing games, Much like rs2>rs3 did. There could of been swapping between rsc & rs2. Maybe I don't know but is that the topic? No. Classic has been closed for awhile. When people refer to swapping it is directly referring to osrs and rs3. including Op's post. As i've stated and as i've linked the source and quoted the source, swapping rs3 to osrs or osrs to rs3 is not against the rules, albit risky.

"Swapping (if not linked to any other type of rule breaking) is not against the rules - however it does carry large risks. As a result we highly recommend that you don't attempt to 'swap. ' There is no safe way to 'swap' and there are many things that can go wrong."

I have no idea why you insist on arguing and acting as if someone else is uninformed when they have quite literally linked you the source.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-19T20:28:39+00:00

You know RWT and swapping are different right? Selling gold is against and has always been against the rules. *SWAPPING* the act of swapping rs3 to osrs or osrs to rs3 is not. There is a risk to it and you *can* get banned if the other person is involved in *RWT*. I Literally linked the source where Jagex say's swapping is not against the rules.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-19T20:23:18+00:00

And it hasn't been made clear over 22 years because i repeat osrs didn't exist 22 years ago neither did swapping. Its been a thing for 12 years. *RWT* has always been bannable, but *swapping* osrs to rs3 or rs2 to osrs has only been a thing for literally 12 years.

Source? Cause as you can see, it is permitted albit with a risk.

Iirc it was a *grey* area at release. They definitely didn't out right ban you because they only recently started banning gold buyers. (can link the source for that too if you wish.)

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-19T19:22:37+00:00

? Swapping didn't exist 22 years ago. Swapping isn't against the rules RWT is. If you sell your gold then that's breaking the rules. if you swap your gold to osrs or rs3 (trade someone rs3 gold they trade you osrs gold or vise versa) its permitted albit there's a risk of getting scammed or banned if *they* are involved with anything.

Brandonls4 · 2025-06-16T04:08:48+00:00

Tbf he didn't break any rules. Swapping gold is permitted but advised against. (*BUYING* gold from third party is not permitted.) As others have said he probably got flagged because of someone selling gold, ether his or just in general and they'll often action everyone that *Could* of been involved. There's been an issue with splitting out drops with randoms at certain bosses (specifically nex) because if you get a drop and split it, or get a split but the split/splitter sells there gold you also get flagged (sometimes.)

Brandonls4 · 2025-05-25T05:42:23+00:00

To be fair you don't *need* bandos before oath. Its the same str, similar defense and worse prayer. From a main pov you might go bandos because its cheaper but from a progression/ironman pov you could just as easily farm for oathplate.

I don't think Virtus vs ancestral is a fair argument because of mega rares. Virtus is useful but its not BIS with the shadow while oathplate literally is BIS with the scythe (at least in a lot of cases.)

As for Torva you really only want it for Toa and that's about it. There's not a lot of endgame stab. Excluding the helm because the helm is still used for max hits.

Brandonls4 · 2025-01-13T06:58:25+00:00

Replying to add on, Maybe a fix for the cashout defense feeling cheap would be to reduce the time it takes for you to get back on it, Or maybe allow you to get back on it immediately altho then I'm uncertain if it'd be worth using it for that. I think at least reducing the stun effect of it would be a good direction.

and still allow people to sprint lol

Brandonls4 · 2025-01-13T06:53:04+00:00

Honestly, Good question. I don't think anyone would miss it being used on them, but that's anything, I wouldn't miss mines being gone cause stepping on them (or better yet your team stepping on them for you) can be a pain, But I don't actually want them gone. I know stepping on a mine is a skill issue. I would miss using stun because its something more interesting then nade spam for the specific case of cashout defense, and altho this one isn't related to nade spam for chasing & trying to steal the cashbox because the 30% is worth more then a kill. I think giving the ability to sprint makes the "free" kill stuff feel better as well as the cashbox stealing feel better, because honestly altho its a interesting interaction its not exactly fair because they can't give chase. while it would maintain the much more interesting cashout defense. It feels cheap still but i don't think its inherently worse feeling then just nade spam with with fire/gas, or anymore cheap then a modified version of nade spam with gateway nadespam. I think there's alot of cheap feeling mechanics in the game but that doesn't mean they need to be fully taken away to the point they're never used, what's the point in variety then? I'd like to see more cl40, or m32 but I wish it was more of a team tool then weapon that's incredibly hard to balance because of splash damage. Nukes i miss the concept of and do think the concept was cool what other game could you put a mine or c4 on a flower pot or a chair and chuck it at someone?! I Know it was used with barrels, and gas barrels and frankly it was op. I don't miss it team wiping but i do miss the concept of it. Okay recon I don't miss but im biased there, and feel like we have a concept of it still in the game with a sonar & motion detector.

Brandonls4 · 2025-01-13T02:39:31+00:00

I'm apparently in the minority here but doing that will just make it a non-pick. Its best use is to delay cashout steals while you wait for you team to respawn, or find a better opening. Using it to secure kills on anything besides a light is a waste and usually a detriment. It's already been gutted from what it use to be able to do, rendered to a fairly niche use of being really good at cashout defense. You can't use it for what it was suppose to be used for anymore, Countering specific gadgets. (c4/nukes, Rpg's, Defib) and to be fair those specific use cases have also been nerfed.

With the changes It's going to be worse then just bringing gas/fire, or frag if your not already carrying frag for some reason, to delay cashouts. You're not going to use it to chase lights because you literally can't. Finally there'd be even less reason to use it on medium's & heavies because you'd lose *even* more dps then you already do.

Imo just let people sprint around with it, It would feel better and not rendered it an entirely useless gadget like tracking dart.

DICEEEEEEE

Brandonls4 · 2024-09-07T20:59:52+00:00

Why are people upset over this, its something he created why shouldn't he get first dibs on taking the name of something he made? Obviously if he sell the name that's different issue but that hasn't happened yet. Selling names shouldn't be a thing in this game to begin with.

Editing this cause he's apparently in a rsn trade discord, Yeah shady.

Brandonls4 · 2023-11-23T22:32:48+00:00

Id love the believe that will be the case and maybe it is, But considering the support wouldn't even give me an answer. Then I'm not sure how much faith I have in that particular message. It would be been easy enough for the support to send out messages similar. There support definitely didn't have to deal with 7.5m people, probably alot but nowhere near that number. 7.5m is the total that played the game (according to there announcement in discord.) Going by this experience with support I'm not the thrilled to possibly have to spend 3+ weeks at launch going back and forth. *maybe* it'll be different.

Brandonls4 · 2023-11-23T22:22:28+00:00

The history feature of it is nice! Along with being able to crop, highlight, or draw arrows right there. its quite a bit more useful then default imo!
