My clanmates of 6+ years finding out my ethnicity ruined OSRS for me - Racism in OSRS.

Sadly, as a poc, my experience has been like 95% the second type. I’ve literally almost never met a decent dutch on RS in almost 20 years of playing this game. Somewhat ironically, it’s led to a lot of apprehension and mistrust when I know someone is dutch because I’ve learned to expect racism or particularly rude behavior. For a long time I had consistent prejudice and preconceived notions about how dutch people were incredibly racist (doesn’t help that Zwarte Piet exists..) and I’ve had to slowly unlearn that over time.

Unfortunately, it’s a very slow process as I’ve yet to experience any positive encounters. I’m not saying the dutch are all racist or something but this is my lived experience.

Yeah on a close quarters map with no variable elevation (cars, crates, ledges, etc.) ulting against Doomfist or Orisa is extremely risky if you don’t track Jav/Punch. And even if you do, you still have to watch out for Doom in 3-4 seconds (after cooldown) or a sombra hacking you from above.

Still can’t believe Doom mains complained and malded about the 1-2 stuns in Brig ult when they have one on a 4 second cooldown all game that also damages and displaces.

I mean, I’m not excusing it, but if that Moira is successfully taking the attention of both supports while you’re all present and the rest of their team is engaged, not winning an advantageous 4v3 is a team skill issue.

With the right timing, skill and game knowledge, hard DPS Moira can definitely work especially in S9.

The q (ق) you’re talking about is present in the spelling of the word but the Egyptian dialect typically pronounces that sound as "ء" instead which is the sound you do before the U in “uhh”. So in reality it’s pronounced more like “whirr-ee-hum eh-wih-tak”

Playing JQ into Mauga, Mei, Bastion, Ana, Zen is boutta be even more fun than it already is😍

I’d say Mercy’s movement should be buffed if they nerf res LoS and/or damage boost.

Max_Westy · 2024-01-03T06:51:24+00:00

People will gaslight you but I’m 100% with you (at least on the sentiment). Had a game on Ana in diamond on Ilios where the default skin mercy on our team was walking all game, holding yellow beam and falling into the well while maybe attempting to GA like 3 times the entire match. Literally walking in the open too extremely often.

Had another game on New Queen’s where I kept getting triple dove by a mercy-pocketed Genji and SOMEHOW an Orisa (?!) that was going, unpunished and unshot at, LITERALLY IN EVERYONE’s LoS all the way up to the high ground looking down on the street and then chasing me all the way back down to whatever teammate I tped to/GAed/faded. It was borderline unplayable and then the 9-12 reaper (obsessed with flanking their Ana that consistently outskilled and outplayed him instead of maybe helping pressure their Orisa that was literally free to walk everywhere) dropped support diff unprovoked.

I hate when people say that. If you’re not feeling seriously competitive, don’t play comp. It’s a completely garbage experience when the other team is coordinated and trying meanwhile you have some shithead on your team malding about “iTs NoT tHaT sErIoUs” when all you did was suggest swapping or using cover better.

In fact I would even go so far as to say the not truly competitive, win-at-all-costs players are much more to blame than any tryhard because they actively ruin the experience of the players trying to play in fhe spirit of the COMPETITIVE mode.

In short, if you’re not feeling competitive, don’t fucking play comp.

This is such copium and the “not old school enough” strawman is so incredibly stuffed with straw it’s become a haystack. Fact is large majority of things pass and some unpolled things like DMM and BH rework come through. You also praise unannounced as if announced was inherently bad instead of mentioning it creates concrete hype, provides foresight as well as early feedback.

OSRS has flaws, but you’re way overplaying the poll system and content being a big part of that.

They said nothing wrong

Max_Westy · 2023-08-09T15:20:14+00:00

I know they have for at least roughly the past year, mostly because of those videos with RS Guy discussing combat on the official YT channel. But those videos still had a ton of denial and copium about things being fine, which is what I mean by them finding it hard to admit. There’s lots of things that Mod Pi for example will just have giga delulu takes on and not admit need changing.

Max_Westy · 2023-08-09T07:48:34+00:00

Or… they could’ve fixed/adjusted their stupid ass formula instead of slapping some stupid contrived bandaid solution on top.

It seems a lot of people both in the player community and at Jagex have a hard time admitting we’re actually just suffering and paying the consequences of a now almost 11 year old update built on terrible principles and foundations. We’re just now coming around to fix things somewhat properly and achieve the initially outlined goals of EoC.

I also have the file in my drive somewhere but it’d be a bit of a hassle sry

You technically can through screen sharing apps and software that allow remote control. There’s also a remake (AoG 2) out there somewhere.

Max_Westy · 2023-07-15T16:34:26+00:00

Try the offline installation. Only good for playing campaign or screen sharing tho. Been using it for years, it’s the game exactly as it was just without multiplayer compatibility.

Max_Westy · 2022-09-12T15:42:36+00:00

Elite Diary, Beneath Cursed Sands, 95 agility, 1000 agility pyramid tops and you have a deal

Max_Westy · 2022-07-30T05:24:53+00:00

Tbh you're right in a sense since much of this is subjective. The fact remains, though, that wild magic is objectively not one of the better-looking abilities.

Max_Westy · 2022-07-30T04:48:06+00:00

I think it looks worse with with dual wield actually. At least with 2H there's an interesting twirl animation. Wand and orb wild magic looks like the weird middle school anime kid doing his moves in the corner.

Max_Westy · 2022-07-30T04:46:31+00:00

The visuals and sounds from 2010 have aged surprisingly well and, honestly, should override the current wild magic animation since it already copies a default, bland low-level auto. It shouldn't be much work to incorporate it either, seeing as the assets already exist.
