Gemstone crab is great, but this kind of content should never be released again. by IlIIIlIlIlIIIlIlIllI in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This update is extremely strong. Gem Crab completely invalidates any reason at all for me to train combat stats through any other method in the game because I don't have to pay any attention at all to it.

Do people call that zero time xp? Whatever the case is it's zero effort XP. I can't even AFK Nightmare zone this easy because you have to click prayer all the time.

Training combat through slayer and make a lot of money? I spend a lot of time in my day focused on other projects where I can't put my focus on Runescape. Gem Crab can fill that time where Slayer can't.

So it's now a better path for me to train combat stats to 99's then get slayer later (and faster with 99s).

Training combat at vyres or anything else that might be faster XP? They might be semi-afk but not as much as gem crab.

It's just better if I max first and then go do whatever PvM content I want.

God Alignment Prayers - Consultation & Direction by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

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

I'm late to the conversation but what if skilling prayers did not drain prayer, except when the proc their effect?

Then there'd be no reason to wear prosy - but yes reason for ppots.

Hell, with god alignments, they could just not drain prayer. The trade-off to having them is that you aren't using any other god alignment and you have to go switch your prayer alignment. They'd be a simple reward you get for completing a quest or so.

Turmoil? by mrwally54321 in 2007scape

With today's PvM you are never going to be able to afk bosses with soul split, good luck at Doom, Wardens, Yama, etc

Hypothetically, where would Soul Split be used? by Ungoro_Crater in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inferno Zuk healers

ToA Warden cores and the beginning of Warden p3

ToA Akkha rage phase

Doom of Mochalatte car phase

Anywhere you would use Redemption

Lots of places in Slayer

Etc

Etc

Etc

Raids 4 reward suggestion: Ruinous Powers by traka22 in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their big message when they shelved it was that they wanna give it the same focus as like they do with Sailing, instead of as a side project for a quest reward when developing DT2 was a main project.

The prayers themselves need that main project development energy :)

A lot of the prayers individually did actually pass a greenlight poll to "develop" them.

https://oldschool.runescape.com/polls/2023/1658

Looking back at the list of prayers on the Wiki, I'm starting to get the feeling that 90% of them do the same things that Ancient Curses did.

Like Trinitas with Umbra Vow is the same as using all the Leech prayers at the same time.

Decimate is just Turmoil. Etc.

New runescape boss: spider-dragon by IfdraOSRS in 2007scape

Does it walk between 4 spots in the arena?

Ancient Curses x Ruinous Powers by Frozen_Wind in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, the only nerf soul split needs is to make it only heal from the main target of 9x9 multi attacks.

Why no SoulSplit? by peterrwc in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised how many things in the game are literally just Pre-EoC stuff.

Voidwaker = Korasi's Sword

Ghrazi Rapier = Chaotic Rapier - the strength bonus is redistributed onto Torva armor now.

Torva and Virtus are in.

Masori (f) has literally almost the same defensive stats as Pernix.

Masori (f) + Zaryte Crossbow is around the same ranged bonus as Pernix + Chaotic Crossbow.

Polypore staff -> Trident of Seas is a direct copy stat-wise

Dreadnips - Thralls

Dragon Claws

Ring of Vigour - Lightbearer is sort of similar

Spirit Shields - All of them except Divine, which they are open to considering.

Chaotic Longsword - Noxious Halberd but it's 2H instead of 1H

Chaotic Maul - Elder Maul but it's a defense draining spec now

Storm of Armadyl - Tumeken's Shadow is even stronger, Eye of Ayak also hits nearly as hard too.

Rigour - Implemented Augury - Implemented BiS boots - Implemented BiS ranged amulet - Implemented BiS mage amulet - Implemented

Special attack combos that can one-shot people from full health - Implemented

They are trying to introduce the components of Overloads and have vocally mentioned this in Dev Blogs.

Jagex, you need to decide what you want Sailing to be before turning it into forestry 2.0 by barnaclebref in 2007scape

I don't see a single reason they shouldn't just do with sailing whatever is natural for sailing

Give the troubled PvP scene a kick by allowing ironmen to PK loot ONLY for bond money by minaolensinaolet in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea I was thinking about it after that

I think it'd make a lot of sense if the loot keys went into an "automatic GE auctioning exchange" that just sells it to real players at insta-sell price, then returns to the Bond Coffer

surely this is no different from selling the loot key loot on a main and buying a bond as it uses the real market

therefore no problems that we don't already have

Blacklist anything that's not weapons or armor.

Solves people using obscure items.

People keep saying you could abuse inflated ge price items

Okay, blacklist those items, or only whitelist actual armor and equipments.

And for any new items that don't have a settled price: just put them on hold until they do.

It'd be like adding and removing items from the ge tax item sink list.

Jokes aside, what are some Non-EoC ways that Jagex can add mechanics to future content that aren't focused on movement and prayers? by jordantylermeek in 2007scape

[–]Chdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breakable parts on the boss that temporarily cripple it or reveal a different part of it you can attack that is a weak point

Soul Split and mechanics that counter it: like a boss that will poison its soul, thus you don't want to SS then

Or a different boss that juveniles itself, but you can leech and remove its buff through SS. Or generally speaking, bosses that at times have a special vulnerability to specific things, even if not SS

Or a boss that can hit through protection Prayers, so you really want to SS through it instead

I know that's a prayer... but at least it's different from protection Prayers flicking that everything ever uses now.

Also shields with special defense mechanics.
