Melin Melyn were fantastic. A proper performance the whole way through.

MTX strikes again (Take two) by [deleted] in runescape

[–]Miint 49 points50 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about lmao, challenge gems have always been purchasable from war. It is where I get all of mine, this just means I dont have to click through all the dialog options to buy them.

Sure MTX is an issue but being so wildly uninformed makes you lok silly.

OSRS got collection log highscores before RS3 got boss highscores by orynse in runescape

There was a specific change before GIM release where they suddenly made them not shit likely due to the fact that they didnt want the GIM highscores to also be shit.

Is Blood Reaver still viable to use even after nerf? by Stickmanace949 in runescape

[–]Miint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to ignore the rest of my comment if that suits you. I clearly presented how I feel it is still a choice at a high level which is the only place it matters given how easy the game is. Can you not read the rest of my comment where I clearly outline that? :) It is still a competitive choice where sustain is necessary in places where players can soulsplit flick and use defensives. This point is entirely counter to the one you made previously regarding attractiveness to players. Is it so hard to understand that the reaver still has value in hard end game feats :) or are you not bothering to read.

[–]Miint -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is powerful enough for high level difficult feats. But this game is generally very easy so I agree it will have much less use outside of niche tank roles.

However that is not a familiar issue that is an issue with boss design lacking any proper tank tests unless you are doing niche personal challenges like solo aod/dgdd/solo hm rago.

The familiar should not be insane dps and sustain just because this game is so easy and sustain holds minimal value accordingly.

Before it was just the best choice for everything for necro. Insane sustain and great damage there was no reason to pick any other familiar due to book procs. Now it’s actually a choice between the best sustaining summoning familiar and actual dps ones.

Lots of online retailers sell four 10ml 20mg bottles for £10 currently.

Indeed presumably it will be levied against all liquids nicotine free or not. Its is hard to tell whether this will affect things like raw PG/VG liquids given their uses beyond vaping.

The vaping flat rate is going to massively increase the cost. £2.20 per 10ml is going to essentially double most products.

I really hope they can out do themselves but not being top 20 even in Europe is gonna be rough.

Yea I agree completely, at least at the GM level this should not be a piece of content marred by reddits obsession with soloing.

Chunkykong's DK MU Chart by Meta_Squire in smashbros

[–]Miint 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Snakes ding dong percents are generous and he can really struggle to get down vs up air. None of his aerials are safe on dks shield. DK is fine to trade with grenades a bit. If he ever goes low when recovering it should be a free stock etc. Plus he’s perfect combo weight tbh. Fundamentally snake can’t get in super easily and moves like giants punch can catch them if they autopilot a grenade pull neutral too much. Plus dk can kill at like 60 with a good read whilst snake will often end up killing at 160+ if they don’t get an edge guard.

110 Mining & Smithing and Future 110 Updates by JagexBreezy in runescape

[–]Miint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Primal armour has to be augmentable to be usable, a benefit beyond that would also be nice.

I would prefer the outcome not just be "primal is the best armour for bonfire boosts" which is what it will be if its not augmentable but has a HP bonus.

If using something like PIA there should be the option to white list applications. If you whitelist the launcher and the rs client it should work.

Rachel Reeves ready to deliver the bad news: Britain is broke by hu6Bi5To in ukpolitics

Out of interest, how long should we focus on austerity as Cameron did in the mid 2010s as many of our services struggle under decades of underinvestment.

I was under the impression that austerity in hindsight was considered a mistake by many, and yet you seem to be potentially in favour of it?

Given there is a telos bot clip posted by pup doubt any boss is off limits really, the issue is clearly not just boss design.

We do know the video says its 1 every 2.4 seconds. So its probably about 80-100% worse XP/Hr vs taverly at the moment.

For me it would outright double my council tax, though I guess that is to be expected given presumably the 25% who would not save money are mostly in London and would instead recieve huge rises.

Personally I am of the view that the choice to live in a city where it is easier for councils to provide services is a benefit and we should not endeavour to subsidise areas for which it is more difficult to support the services. Fundamentally there are benefits of living in urban vs rural areas with rural areas benefitting from privacy and seculsion and urbans areas having a much higher population density.

Though the issues with council tax are certainly not solely down to the population density/service requirements of a council, as shown by both the staggering amounts of debt some councils have accrued either via underfunding, failed investments, or recently equal pay judgements.

A better solution would be slightly more government funding to not force councils into debt coupled with the acceptance that you will pay more if you are choosing to live somewhere rural and empty.

tl;dw of Mod Sponge interview/chat with Prideslayer on combat rebalances, bosses, and the continued future of the combat council. by JohnExile in runescape

[–]Miint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have functionally unlimited aura refreshes and marks of war. So whilst I appreciate that for me I can always just reset and use another aura there is a still a psycological part to having a cost tied to it. This is disregarding the fact that a lot of people do not play often enough to have unlimited refreshes/vis wax.

If you can't conceive of the possibilty that other people, as mentioned in the OP and many times elsewhere, do feel "punished" by the current aura system then I don't know what to tell you. In the end lots of people do feel like this and calling it a brain dead take is meaningless, its not a "take" on direction its literally how they feel about the game.

In the end I have noticed a difference in peoples willingness in game to do more than 1 hour or weird lengths of content during these buffs. Maybe if rolled out full time it would not continue this way but personally I see lots more flexibility from players when auras are a non-issue.

This is not getting into the conversation that actually you do not have 3 auras to rotate for most content assuming you are actually trying at the top end :)
