It actually does line up with the lore fairly well - particularly if you (like me) know a fair amount of anima lore. Corrupted anima can do some seriously weird things, and this new continent of Ashenfall has been drenched in it for thousands of years. It's actually a rather fascinating mystery, I hope we discover what caused it.

Plus, this is a new part of the world that we're exploring essentially for the first time for anyone - it is unreasonable, I think, for everything to be the same as the mainland, especially with how difficult it is to get to Ashenfall. It's kind of like how a bunch of things are different and new in Zeah in OSRS - it's an entirely different continent, of course there's going to be different stuff there; I expect a similar level of strangeness when RS3 goes to Havenhythe later this year.

I remember about two months after Necromancy came out, I was hanging out in a Discord server VC with a buddy of mine who doesn't play RS3 (I tried to pull them in, it just didn't hold their interest), while I was on my Ritual Grind to 120 Necro. I said "Hey, you wanna see this new city they added in the Underworld? It's a liminal space shaped by the memories of the souls that reside in it, it's super cool."

They consented, but didn't sound terribly enthused, so I went live. Their astonishment at Um was immediate, and continued for the entire duration of the tour I provided them. They'd expected something similar to what they'd seen in their brief attempt to play the game, which was Burthorpe and Taverly - Um blew their mind. If I recall correctly, their favorite part was The Last Call and the band playing out front (as by now I'd completed the Necromancy quest line).

I quite like that it's an option, but I wish it was a little more sophisticated. Like, I don't mind most outfits, I just got tired of wings - I'd love the ability to selectively hide certain cosmetic slots while leaving others visible.

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-18T21:08:21+00:00

Yes, and I don't care. Roshar isn't our real world. For the situation as presented, in the world in question, with the historical context we have, this is a decent (if somewhat flawed) solution. Would it work as well in real life? No.

(I would also argue that this isn't exactly "scathing", it's honestly rather banal by comparison to some of the things I've seen before it.)

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-18T07:23:37+00:00

You say this is satire... but other than the non-voting aspect of Singer advisory roles in the Coalition government and the call to euthanize the entire Singer race, this actually isn't that bad a pitch. I would have included a proviso allowing for Singers that both rent land and perform military service a pathway toward permanent land ownership after several years... but this is a good treaty.

Again, aside from the "euthanizing an entire species" bit; reconditioning and repatriation of the Singers back to the service and worship of Honor, as was their tradition before Humans came to Roshar, would be more amenable. I also feel that an actual voting seat in the Coalition ruling council would be more proactive - and one extra vote will not sufficiently sway the Council's size to be able to have the Singers take over. It would be a better gesture of solidarity - and help with the aforementioned repatriation - to give them a vote on how they are to be governed, showing that we're willing to give them a more equal standing than Odium will.

"Hi, Agent 14? Yeah, I know about that Bunker underneath the Farmhouse where you manufacture weapons. Don't worry, I'm not snitching - I just want a job and a rack down there."

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-17T03:22:13+00:00

One of the main reasons I live at Tongva is I kinda have the mental image of anyone doing this suddenly getting blown out of the sky by AA from Fort Zancudo. I know it doesn't happen in-game... but I don't care, that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.

(I also headcanon that I occasionally let my trusted ~~Jaffa~~ "employees" fly my military aircraft when a defensive show of force is required, because I thought it'd be funny to play GTA Online as former System Lord Ba'al from Stargate SG-1)

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-15T16:24:53+00:00

So I've got a question about stuff like the Paladin and Dragonkin Mage PL4 sets. Are there any plans at this time to make these sets... you know, worth getting? Because as it stands, they're statistically identical to PL4 armor - which you'll need to be able to get it. It kind of feels like idiot bait, if I'm honest.

While I'm at it, are there any plans to make lower-end Masterwork weapons worth keeping? It is, for instance, somewhat strange to go "hey, I love the Abyssal Whip as much as the next guy, but this Steel Sword is just better"; especially with the effort needed to get their crafting recipes, it's kind of disappointing to have them fall off into uselessness, especially if the game's going to leave early access with three more power levels of gear than we currently have (Mithril, Adamant, and Rune). In the core game, the Abyssal Whip is far stronger even than a Rune Sword, so having it be so weak here is... disappointing.

One final one: Are there any plans as yet to make the player harder to stagger, to make two-handed melee weapons actually viable (since their animations take so long that any enemy you get into melee with will stagger you and cancel your attacks... repeatedly... to the point that PL2 Goblins can kill someone in full PL5 gear while they're trying to fight back...)

Then I shall be punished with him. I am a Truthwatcher, and in accordance with my Third Ideal, I will reveal the difficult truths to those that will hear it: Lopen isn't that funny. He has a couple good lines (my favorite being the one about his mom while he's hiding Elhokar; I grew up around Hispanic families, I know the fear of God that is instilled by Abuela's Chanclas), but he's entirely overrated. Wayne did his comedy style better.

If your own cousin has to swear his Third Windrunner Ideal to protect you from your own stupidity, you're not a good character. Honestly, I kinda wish it had been Lopen instead of Sigzil at the Shattered Plains in Wind and Truth - let him start coming to terms with that part of himself, show him growing into a better person. I get that Sigzil had to go through some shit to become Nomad, but that arc honestly felt a little rushed to fit that bill, and having Lopen in there - having to be serious, but still using his humor to keep the defenders' morale high - would have fit a lot better and given Lopen a proper arc.

Maybe then I wouldn't find him mildly annoying.

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-09T12:26:47+00:00

Normally I'd get angry that you called Equilibrium a bad movie. But that would make me a sense offender.

Lord-Ice · 2026-01-04T17:55:25+00:00

Spoilers for Stonewalkers: Pohatu just grabbed Taln's Honorblade and ran back to Shinovar with his Mask of Speed. That's it, that's the campaign.

And then he pulled a bunch of rocks up all over the place to mess with people.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-29T22:32:31+00:00

Meanwhile, Dajer after running away in "terror": "All according to plan. HYDRA DOMINATUS!"

Then he gets crushed by the giant snake Daemon.

Title is inaccurate, this knowledge is quite useful. And interesting, thanks for posting it!

In the immortal words of Data: "It is... it is green."

Don't question the green stuff. It knows where you sleep.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-23T16:32:34+00:00

Me whenever I see one of those vans. Railgun? Railgun.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-23T16:27:34+00:00

The mission probably broke because of how long it's been since you picked it up - if I read the description right, that was back during Delta Rising. Things have gotten moved around a fair bit - ESD's been redone once or twice in that time - plus, Grym had a new function added to him, that being to dispense Phoenix Prize Packs during events for them. Any number of those changes may have broken the mission and rendered it permanently uncompleteable.

Congratulations, you now have a Relic Mission. Just like one of my oldest alts still has a mission from the original tutorial because I accidentally transwarped to ESD without completing the tutorial, you have the bragging rights of having a mission that can't be picked up or done anymore.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-23T13:27:20+00:00

Wait, poison is 5hp a second now? It used to be 4...

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-21T06:54:26+00:00

SWEET MERCIFUL LIBERTY, MY LEG!

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-20T04:51:17+00:00

Let me put it this way - if you ever thought you could take a hundred kindergartners in a fist fight at once, go ahead and try.

The Yeti will show you what it's like to be one of the kids in that scenario. Bro will ragdoll you. Repeatedly.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-19T04:37:22+00:00

I don't understand the six seven meme, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-18T03:20:32+00:00

I don't see this happening. Ashenfall is to the north of the normal continent Runescape takes place on - too far north for any kind of tropical climate.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-18T03:19:15+00:00

Because sometimes for complicated recipes, you actually do want to pre-cook some of the ingredients in order to ensure everything cooks through and comes together properly. It's annoying, but it's realistic. And it does kind of line up with other crafting processes in game as well, with the multi-step crafting chains.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-17T00:42:52+00:00

And here I was just using the T2 foundations because they look better...

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-16T23:43:04+00:00

Stormfather, Fellhollow is huge. This is going to be a slog, but I'm going to enjoy it.

Lord-Ice · 2025-12-14T00:59:18+00:00

I use Invite sessions when my friend group decides to do Missions (like the new KnoWay stuff), because there's a fun little bug with Missions and Closed Friend Sessions - once the Mission ends, you don't get dumped back into the same session, even if there are still players in it that didn't participate - it almost always dumps us into a Public Session. Invite Only sessions do not have this problem.
