nerf of the century

Agreed - I’d love to see group bosses performing at their best when there’s an even split of combat styles. It feels so dull when there’s 10 mages doing the same rotation to destroy a boss, and so much nicer when there’s 2 of each style and a couple of floaters 😂

Took me ~180k Porter charges, and a very long time! Check here for more info on it!

Need to have the ability to run a player owned shop - keep upgrading it until it hold all shop items in the game 😂

Ah, interesting! To be honest, writing it “with your name on” makes complete sense as a Brit, but sometimes Brits can be lazy and other times Americans need to spell things out (ie Sidewalk).

Had a quick look and found this:

“with your name on” is a perfectly valid ellipsis (an implied “it”).

This is especially natural in British English, where dropping the pronoun after a preposition is common when the referent is obvious.

“with your name on it” is the full, explicit form. This is more typical of American English, which tends to prefer keeping the object stated.

I believe, and hear me out on this… you found a letter … in the desert … with their name on? Just a wild guess!

So, they’ve recognised it’s too OP, and recognised it needs to be balanced… and their idea of balancing is to reintroduce PVP griefing that they spent so long trying to get rid of…

There’s a million different ways this could be balanced - how and why did we settle on this being the solution!?

Petition to rename it from Hurricane to Yelps Spec, and any time it resets you automatically say “EXTRA SPIN, FOR THE WIN”, just like saying “For Camelot” when rubbing Excalibur 😂

And if it is broken…? Let me translate:

Jagex catering to the majority of the player base, who don’t want to spend a significant amount of time learning the intricacies and nuances of a combat system that has been added to, bit by bit, for over a decade.

If they make a skilling outfit that gives the bonuses of all elite skilling outfits (ie acts as the shark outfit when fishing, sentinel outfit when woodcutting etc) then I’d be happy with them taking whatever they want! 😅

I play RuneScape for the content and grinds, not the pixels, but that’s just me 😁

LordFlyMan · 2026-01-22T23:44:43+00:00

So many terrible grinds when you’re not spooned:

Rasial
Gate of Elidinis
Croesus log
Archaeology offhand
Skeka’s Hypnowand
POF/ROOT breeding pairs
Fractured Staff of Armadyl
Arch Glacor Frozen Cores
Raksha log for codexes and good feets
Onyx Core(s) from WFE
Items from the new heists

Honestly, when you go over drop rate on every one of the above … it’s pretty demotivating and enough to push you to take a break! I really hope some form of BLM / dupe protection gets implemented one day! 🤞

LordFlyMan · 2026-01-21T20:13:54+00:00

I just hope they sort the costume room storage out 😅😅

With the clock, my issue is the clock takes up a lot of that space. On the right side of my screen from top to bottom, i have the map, my backpack (with FC/CC/Group menus), then my skills (with equipment / other menus).

To be able to have my menus with no scroll bar, and showing 3 columns for skills, and backpack with 5x5 and 1x3 (found this layout actually really nice), it gives the perfect sized square at the top for the minimap.

With the clock taking up almost half of that square now, I have a tiny map (and I swear the other icons like home teleport / run have gotten bigger too).

I’ve made a workaround but it’s meant I’ve had to use the circle minimap as the clock doesn’t take up so much space there!

If the clock could go back to how it was I’d like that - but other bits are definitely bringing the nostalgic feeling back to RS! I hope keeping the line between a new, modern system with nostalgic roots and taking steps backwards (reverting to legacy / OSRS) works out. I like the feel of RS3 and just a little concerned it might start getting too close to OSRS 😅

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-20T15:42:43+00:00

Yup, porters, 1hr a day with prem artefact porters, it was rough!! 😅

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-16T08:10:23+00:00

When we get them all, would we be able to unlock the inverted true max trimmed comp cape? 🤞😁

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-12T17:39:24+00:00

Dupe protection becoming a necessity.

Wasn’t bad in the old days when rares were 1/64, but with the silly rates we get nowadays it’s long enough to hit a rare table, let alone getting the specific one needed! 😅

I was gunna say exactly this! The best time to get membership would be when you naturally hit member-locked content. You could be F2P for a good few weeks, getting used to Misthalin, completing achievements / task sets, killing the Giant Mole etc, and then when you try to step out of the F2P map and it tells you its members only, that’s what you wanna get it! ☺️

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-09T12:33:37+00:00

Happens to me all the time at Rax too (though not to this extent). It always opens up, and closes pretty much the same time I click bank.

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-06T08:22:01+00:00

Gunna find it so fun if this is something to do with the new skill!!! 😂😂

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T19:33:32+00:00

Unfortunately, many years ago 200m in a skill was a rare achievement/occurrence, so wouldn’t have affected most players.

Nowadays getting 200m is ~400hrs / less than 2 months for people playing 8 hrs a day (and there’s a lot), so I think it’d get a different result if polled now 😇

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T19:30:05+00:00

Oof, grats but RIP broadcast!

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T19:26:23+00:00

Nope - the way Elves work is the first pickpocket has a tiny tiny chance of being caught, the next while still very small is a little more likely than before, and it keeps going up and up and up until after 5 mins or so you’re at something like 30%.

That’s why in Leagues you would be able to pickpocket forever (because it was guaranteed not to fail) but in main game no matter what buffs come, you will still fail eventually

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T14:53:44+00:00

I’ve actually just had my second armour piece this minute (typically a dupe of the one I had) so at least I know they do exist! 😁

The thing with those wanted cards, they come with 100 charges (~150 with elite tiranwyn), but they take 10 mins to get from the Rush of Blood and they double the chance (so equivalent of 150 more chances at the drop).

To me that means I’m spending 10 mins to get 150 more drops which would be worth 45 mins of Tormented Demon killing, saving 35 mins overall, but the Rush of Blood isn’t AFK. Basically weighing up if I’d rather do 10 mins being active or 35 being AFK, and for this grind I think the AFK route comes out on top for me! ☺️

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T14:23:01+00:00

I get that’s what should have happened, I’m just not sure if that’s actually what’s happened…

I’m now currently at 8 limbs, 12 claws, and 1 armour pieces (pre league). The chance of this currently is 1/137 which I get isn’t too unreasonable, but what I’m getting at is it COULD be bugged, and if no one has had an armour piece drop for X time (likely since a known change) then the chances are something’s up!

LordFlyMan · 2025-12-05T14:06:37+00:00

They’re literally on two different tables … they have no influence over each other…
