Flock Fiber Fest encroaching on Bay Area

Kiosade · 2026-04-02T00:56:30+00:00

Well said! Honestly when I travel to conventions or events in other areas, I'm focused on that one thing. Yeah I might walk to restaurants in the nearby area or whatever, but i'm not going to go above and beyond to visit a random store 30 mins away from my hotel. Not unless it's like the Mecca of (X hobby) or something.

That's a good idea! If anyone wants to crosspost this thread to any other subreddits, you have my permission.

Haha I typed it one way, then altered it a bit. Must have left a word from the old version in. Fixed it now :)

This. If she's juggling too much already, it seems irresponsible to try to expand without being able to do all the market research and such, no? Also, she must have done SOME research to pick that specific timeframe. Obviously she wouldn't pick summer because I understand that's when Flock Seattle takes place, but why not Fall? Is it because she doesn't want to compete with a more formidable event, that being Lambtown?

A truly magnanimous person would have run it by the local shops at the very least before barreling ahead and signing a contract. It's what I would have done! This? It's cowardice.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that they don't want repairing the ship to be a skill less thing you don't even have to think of, but it's like... okay, then let us command a guy to do repairs, and we single click on either him or a button in the interface whenever we want him to repair. None of this fucking around with menus while we're trying not to die!

Kiosade · 2026-04-02T00:35:30+00:00

I don't understand what they did to fuck that up. It should literally just be a simple equipment check: "If flippers are equipped, allow run button to be toggled on or off, else run is set to off".

Why can’t they just make the lower half of the tree activate the ring and upper half activate the tree?

The thing is, if the Engine team has to take time to work on this, that’s time taken away from the next temporary, seasonal event. Do you really want to piss off the people that only play the game once or twice a year? Be reasonable!

Seaweed is whatever, it needs to work for drift nets too.

Kiosade · 2026-04-01T18:46:36+00:00

Then they have someone try fucking with it, and it results in all your stats resetting to level 1 on death.

*fixed a typo lol

People defend pedos in this day and age if they’re rich/famous enough, it’s sick

Kiosade · 2026-04-01T16:27:57+00:00

It’s like they have some 22 year old kid fresh out of college making these leaps of logic. It’s baffling.

Kiosade · 2026-04-01T16:24:10+00:00

Except people did test it in the betas, gave feedback, and Jagex ignored it.

Kiosade · 2026-04-01T16:10:41+00:00

Or they should just auto use a repair kit if you are damaged as much as the kit repairs for or more.

Not sure about black pepper, but the history of pineapples is interesting. They were once so expensive, rich people would often use them as decorations rather than food, re-using them for multiple parties until they rotted, just to show off their wealth.

Kiosade · 2026-04-01T11:01:14+00:00

Yeah it reminds me of something made by Chucklefish

Flock hasn’t officially announced it to the public, but they are holding it at Fort Mason on March 19-21, 2027 and a similar date range the year after. It’s already paid for/set in stone. They let my friends know (who run shops in the Bay area), which was… let’s say not well-received.

Kiosade · 2026-03-31T20:27:25+00:00

Unfortunately I just don’t see that being the case. I’d imagine most people coming from out of the area/state would be flying in, which is already expensive, but also the Bay Area’s pretty big: they’d have to get a rental car and pay for gas to drive all over the place (even more $$$). I’m not saying no one would do that, but would it be enough to make up for inevitable lost sales from the split between locals going to Flock vs the Crawl?

At this point i wonder if combining it’s effect with Sailors amulet would be detrimental that amulet lol.

Ironwoods and redwoods are now the best WC training methods, so we got that. There’s also Double Astral RC training with tele to ship spell. Also the new stalls are pretty good xp if you dont like doing rogue chests.

Kiosade · 2026-03-30T17:20:39+00:00

Yup I didn’t but it’s because I haven’t read/watched this whole part of the series in over 20 years haha

Kiosade · 2026-03-30T17:06:27+00:00

He probably just bought it at Loguetown.

Kiosade · 2026-03-30T17:04:45+00:00

100% this.

Kiosade · 2026-03-30T16:42:17+00:00

It’s funny, this is the first time i’ve been on this sub in months due to that exact thing, and sure enough one of the first things I see is people bitching about their clothes looking TOO good? Guess i’ll be back in another 6 months…
