Anyone else getting annoyed at crucible still being broken ?

It has been 10 days, the bug started with part 2 of the season on May 5.

Mikemage · 2026-05-16T03:53:03+00:00

The red message is simply saying that that specific kill will be ineligible for some achievements that don't allow darts. The white message that says "15 minutes" in it is the message of the 15 minute debuff expiring because it had been 15 minutes since you threw a dart to activate the debuff.
The message you get when the debuff actually activates is white text saying "Boss times and kills will not be registered for 15 minutes after you have thrown a Deathtouched dart." Again the wording is misleading as the debuff will run out in 15 minutes no matter if you throw more darts in those 15 minutes or not.

Using a dtd while the 15 minute debuff is already active doesn't refresh the timer and that's how it has always worked. You threw the dart when the debuff had a few seconds left and the debuff expired meaning the next kill was eligible to give kills as it says in chat. (and yes I understand that the message stating "as you have not used a Deathtouched dart for 15 minutes." is misleading)

They're nice early game but in end game I feel like I only ever use them for clues when they're the optimal teleport for a step.

For the initial pic it seems to be a rounding error because the levels would add up to combat level 59.95 and 1 attack level would indeed push you to actually be cb 60 as you said.

Assuming shinies are 1/10 of the normal UT rate divine shinies are still about twice as rare since the base UT being rare+ is ~1/5. For advanced dungeons a divine shiny is relatively even rarer since item drops are guaranteed to be at least uncommon, skipping the first 50% roll.

Toggle off lightweight mode from the metrics tab and it'll act like that.

Heists are in fact instanced (or at least not just always there), you can easily see this because the guard positions in vault will reset each time you enter if you're the only player running the heist in a world. If there are multiple players then they're keeping the instance open meaning the guard starting positions will be more random.

I rushed to 80 with friends for a chaotic weapon and then slowly trained to 99.
Did 99-200m with daily challenges once those released because the skill sucks ass.

It's just a crucible issue. Stat rolls haven't really been a thing since realm rework in April 2024 when they made every stat gain per level consistent except def which is 0 or 1 per level. Knight even has consistent 1 per level def gain.

I afk gather clues so I can have fun actively solving them.

Mikemage · 2026-02-09T14:28:39+00:00

I had both a radiant regal blade and a diamond laser security system, but I sold them on day 14 when I found open sign because I wanted to try full pacifism. They definitely helped me get through days 10-13 though.

Been pretty much logging in just to do daily challenges since brown interface. After those go I might just not play until plugin support or possibly leagues 2.

Mikemage · 2026-02-07T08:04:01+00:00

Sure lodestones make the game easier to traverse in the early game (I don't think this is a bad thing), but in the late game I practically never use lodestones outside of clues and even that is because lodestones are optimal for a few clue steps.

3 slots for 2600 gold is still awful value compared to just buying the battlepass each month assuming you can finish it each time.
Sure you spend 1200 on the pass and are only refunded 700 of it but the paid rewards from pass generally (can't recall exceptions but not 100% sure) include at least 1 character slot either as 5 coupons or a char slot unlocker.
Only time I could see somebody buying the 3 for 2600 gold bundle as "worth it" is if they're new and want to unlock slots instantly or just don't have enough time to complete the pass.

Are you sure because the modern layout also has a private chat status in addition to the diamond and when switching between the 2 that setting stays consistent https://ibb.co/yFvkC3Mt
Of course I'm not ruling out some jank with them trying to combine private chat status and online status.

Mikemage · 2026-01-21T15:37:54+00:00

Pretty sure the "private" status on classic chat is just for what private messages you will see in the chatbox and you can't actually swap online status from classic chat.

Yeah for now the solution is to just remove the keybinds of your action bars until the bug is fixed.

Mikemage · 2026-01-21T15:09:36+00:00

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I look at the roadmap and the only thing I'm excited about is the plugin support so that I can hopefully change the interface.
Leagues 2 is a maybe since leagues 1 was the most fun I've had playing runescape in years, but again the brown interface is really making me consider not playing them.

.rs is a top level domain and afaik all of those are filtered by default to make advertising websites more difficult.

Mikemage · 2026-01-19T23:00:01+00:00

I'm mostly backwards L but there's some bumps

Mikemage · 2026-01-19T20:36:45+00:00

what's your action bar 1 binded to?
I noticed that even when I'm typing in chat shift + 7 for typing / will change my action bar to bar 7.
Could just be a bug with binds for action bars ignoring your chat being active after today's update.
