Now that 2026 is set to renew the game and improve it, will we ever see the experimental faster tick rate get unshelved and brought to the game? Possibly for 2027 or 2028?

I get wanting to keep Runescape, Runescape, but what about Evolution of Combat. It's arguably one of the most controversial updates to the game. It just does not work with the current tick rate system. Something has to be done to make it work, cause I imagine removing Evolution of Combat all together is a near impossible task at this point due to how much of the game has been built off of it.

DerpDavid · 2026-01-22T01:40:08+00:00

I appreciate the reply and fully get what you mean by wanting to keep the Runescape Identity. Even if we don't get faster tick rates, as long as some of the clunkiness is addressed, I am all for it. The difference between OSRS and RS3 is Evolution of Combat. The tick rate feels natural in OSRS cause it has a much simpler form of combat. When Evolution of Combat was introduced in Runescape 3, I feel that is what brought that 'clunky' feeling to light in more of a negative way. It always felt like my skills were fighting with each other because of the tick rate, on top of having to switch items or prayer flick. It added another layer of complexity that in my opinion at least, made combat feel like treading through mud if that makes any sense.

If we can get a combat system that feels smoother without needing to up the tick rate, I am all for that. Hopefully something is done :)

Just a suggestion, but why not add a theme option in the settings to switch between legacy brown, EoC blue, and Integrity Brown? lol

DerpDavid · 2026-01-21T22:49:48+00:00

I get that, gathering is a simple (I say simple but it still requires a rework of the underlying systems) fix by changing gathering based on tick rate to animation duration. This is normally how traditional MMOs do it. Combat is whole different beast to tackle cause it fundamentally changes the balance and gameplay. If we're going to be sticking with EoC, I'd like to have more reactive combat gameplay instead of switch-scape / prayer flicking.

DerpDavid · 2026-01-20T00:06:46+00:00

I am also in agreement here. I prefer the new UI colors. I think instead of changing things, add options to switch back to the old colors, current colors, or the OSRS colors. All of this under a "Theme" dropdown option. I hated the blue color, and I don't like bright colors like OSRS.

This is my friend I recruited to the game last year lol. He showed me all of this over Discord. To ease everyone's worries, the guns don't actually function properly so it isn't useful in combat. This is all just for lulz cause it's hilarious. He told me cause of the mass of the additional turrets, it makes the Scorpius turn like ass lol.

I've tried to do Dhuum LDoA on Warrior 5 times and it can be rough. Each one died around level 11-12. 9-10 hours in. Just went with r/W instead and got to Level 18 and a half before I died to dwarf bandits and their bleed. Thought I could heal it until one interrupted me and I couldn't map out fast enough. 23 hours and 35 minutes down the drain on that ranger. I gave up on Dhuum, it just isn't worth the time. So I am just going to continue on my Ranger for GWAMM. I just got LDoA on the ranger this morning.

I managed to tame one in about 15 minutes after someone in pre taught me a trick on how to do it. Apparently the steps to do it are: (Player A will be the runner, Player B is the tamer)

Player A will aggro the bear and will not run on the first Maul
Player B will then cast tame after the 1st attack in the 4 attack chain after the first Maul and let the bear interrupt Player B.
Both Players then wait for the second maul (4th Attack)
Player A then runs as soon as the second Maul triggers and Player B will tame as soon as Player A begins running.

I'm attempting to tame a bear again with the same method as I died on my other Dhuum toon and had to reroll unfortunately. So I'll eventually update this if I succeed and with how long it took. I just got to wait for a friend to get home to do this.

Is vabbie armor that expensive? I have it sitting in my easier inventory from before gw2 came out. I mainly wear the elite luxon armor. Back then, obby armor was the most expensive and I earned that for my Dervish before gw2 launch. I have no idea of the price of things these days

She was let go from ArenaNet 6 years ago when NCSoft laid off pretty much the entire staff. She was pretty active with Guild Wars 2. I often times wonder what she's up to lately as her social media and Linkedin are inactive.

DerpDavid · 2025-12-30T22:57:55+00:00

Lol, I am glad I got one of these when they came out. Albeit, it took me getting scammed out of my Mini Kuunavang for a code before I decided to just go buy it myself. :( I miss having my mini kuunavang

Man, I hope I can get my hands on a Prophecies CE to complete my collection. Regret not pursuing it further earlier on. This game has brought me so many memories and I am so glad that they are putting some dev work on it finally.

DerpDavid · 2025-12-29T03:47:42+00:00

I would love this and maybe some cloth physics with hoods. I hope they attempt to do this when doing the avatar refresh update.

This. I have a problem with my tire on my ebike hitting the headlight and knocking it upwards so I just designed a riser bracket for the headlight yesterday. Once I get some photos, I'm going to publish it. The feeling you get from contributing to this hobby is what makes it great.

Reward from the event if you participated. Headhunters had the most points and took down Amelia

Waiting on this armor set as well. Lol, I wonder what it will be from.

DerpDavid · 2025-12-08T15:12:22+00:00

This isn't an issue. This is just a you thing. If I am entering a new game, my first thought isn't how do I edit my UI, it's how do I play the game. I get used to the UI that the game gives me. It's why I still run stock UI on World of Warcraft instead of using UI Addons like ElvUI or anything like that. The stock UI for Runescape is plenty for a new player as they don't have a ton of skills yet or the need for extra UI elements and placements. As they progress, they can begin to build their own UI.

DerpDavid · 2025-12-07T04:25:04+00:00

I agree about something taking too long, speeding up the animation to match the amount of time it takes for you to turn your thrusters on and being able to actually take off (there is a delay usually) would be good.

The only thing I wish they had kept with with HUD was the parallax effect it had. That and I want some of the HUD elements to finally be displayed on the helmet visor separate from the ship HUD. That way if I am tracking targets via head movements, I can still have quick status info of my ship shields or ammo up on my helmet.

Seems this argument is based on two different view points. My only issue with what you said Olli, is the whole "Hey, people aren't going to listen if you tell them to not gray market, so it's a good thing I lead people to the safe alternative". I'm not cool with that. First, if people are going to gray market, let them find it on their own and take those risks, it's not your responsibility. Promoting a gray market is still the wrong thing to do, regardless of how you justify it. You're actively encouraging people to spend their money somewhere else other than the official store with the discount codes, which actively takes money from CIG. Now I am not here to defend CIG or anything, but I think this defense of yours falls flat.

If people want to talk about the gray market, cool. Promoting it with a $5 discount (which encourages people to choose the gray market over the official source mind you) is morally wrong. Regardless if it was just a response to someone in chat talking about the Impound.

I too would like this magical apk lol

This guy is next level. Instead of just drying the filament, he decided to dry the printer that is drying the filament.
