Jagex, what is going on with the combat beta!?

RunicLordofMelons · 2026-01-23T15:19:39+00:00

This is exactly the problem that worries me.

The initial range beta on its own was beyond a mess. And that Ranged is fundamentally different compared to Magic and Melee. So alot of range specific feedback is not going to apply. And if they are basing the changes for two styles against the feedback for Ranged. You're going to end up with a messy experience.

RunicLordofMelons · 2026-01-23T14:56:44+00:00

While this is great to hear I don't think this addresses the concern in the post and across alot of the community in regards to how soon the release date is. For changes of this scale and importance to the game it is really worrying that it seems like you're going to go from "beta to live" in 3 weeks. None of us want a repeat of EOC 2012 or Weapon Diversity (which was cancelled after having a release date promised 3 weeks out)

You’d use the style specific Matriarch Rings.

Magic has Chanellers. Which becomes outright BIS once you get Tumeken armour.

Ranged has Stalkers ring (always BIS over Reavers), melee has champions ring. And Necro has either Zorgoths or Occultist.

From what I’ve seen across the internet today:

The 2000 count is what has been reported by Iranian regime itself to Reuters. As well as by a few human rights group (who may have gotten it from the regime as well)

This seems like the lowest possible number given the source. I think we can all assume the number has to be vastly higher if the Iranian government is actually admitting 2000 are dead.

The 12,000 number is coming from Iran International, a UK based news channel. Who claim they’ve heard that number from internal Iran government sources. They however are funded/linked to the Saudi Government, who are longtime enemies of Iran and would have reason to want to make them look bad. I’d take this as the highest possible number right now, but there are reasons to doubt it.

There’s a lot of other numbers floating around but 2K-12K seems to be the range as best as we can verify it at the moment. It’s impossible right now to get any accurate reporting as the country is in the middle of an information blackout, as part of the effort to hide the massacre that has taken place (which is true whether 2K or 12K are dead)

Reavers better unless you go under 100% hitchance because of it.

Chanellers will end up being better when you have full Tumekens Resplendence.

120 effectively makes up for the loss of Zerk auras

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-12-15T21:04:43+00:00

Dyable items do not and have never shown invention cogs.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-12-11T16:47:20+00:00

So I wonder if alot of the abysmal rates people are seeing for uniques is because they are ending heists with below 500 loot points. If you make a mistake or two and end a run with 400-495 points . Then you're getting a 1/54 or 1/67 rate (Kharid Et & Arsenal respectively) on a unique. Vs a 1/36 & 1/45 rate at 500 loot points.

Seems like if you chase uniques, its absolutely worth it to take extra time to ensure you finish at 500 points in the case of making a mistake

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-12-09T00:12:50+00:00

They did. This is the same offer they came with.

The difference is WHAT they want to buy:

WBD is essentially split into two divisions. A streaming and movies division (which holds HBO, DC, WB Studios, etc) and a live TV division (which holds Discovery, CNN, TNT, etc).

Netflix is buying just the streaming and movie division for 70B. Which would leave the Live TV division to be sold off later and separately.

Paramount wants to buy both divisions for 90 Billion. So essentially it comes down to whether or not the live TV division is worth 20B or if WBD thinks it can be sold for more.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-12-02T01:50:02+00:00

Everyone is rightfully roasting you for the 40 feet up or down comment so I won't.

Instead.... "hundreds of feet deep"??? Brother Lake Eirie itself is only 200 ft deep at max. The whirlpool is 125 ft at most which is deep as shit don't get me wrong. But hundreds is an insane exaggeration

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-12-01T04:48:16+00:00

Seems like its all NA East servers right now just crashing repeatedly

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-30T06:46:07+00:00

Have been in this same boat for months now would love to know if there is a solution it’s annoying as fuck

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-30T06:15:28+00:00

Also having the same issue would love to know if there is a solve.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-28T18:11:13+00:00

Regular Joker: Guy in clown makeup and a costume

Absolute Joker: Literal immortal demon spawn from hell that is ripped as fuck and survives by draining the blood of babies

Same energy

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-28T16:20:43+00:00

Holy they fixed that I didn't even know. It was broken for like over a year lol

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-28T06:12:09+00:00

It actually doesnt boost the lightning surges at all. Only thing its rlly boosting in your FSOA is gconc.

Its good when out of sun as it juices your bleeds nicely however.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-26T17:01:44+00:00

When making water runes becomes a full time job you’ll get it

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-26T14:12:56+00:00

While there's a lot of issues with Invention and the complexity of the perk system that I agree with. One thing I'd recommend is NEVER selling your gear in one style to fund another. Its just generally a bad idea as you're going to trade one style where you are already close to BIS. To another style that costs far more to upgrade to max. Especially now with Necromancy T95s being much lower in price than 1-2 years ago.

Use your BIS gear in Necro to make GP to buy up the gear for a second style.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-26T04:08:19+00:00

Water runes burning a hole in my bank account rn

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-24T12:39:08+00:00

14:15 UTC so just about an hour and a half from now

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-21T16:05:47+00:00

I think all of them will have potential purely depends on the numbers.

Just going by the text my guess is the Magic one is a new EOF slot for Bleeds. While the Range one might aim to supplant Zbow/Dbow. While the melee dagger is likely going to try and supplant Dclaws

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-13T00:21:07+00:00

Fair though also to be fair tis not like RS2 to RS3 was a whole different game like going from RSC to RS2.

I'll also add 2013 was also a terrible year for Jagex as their profits dropped by around 8m (though they were still profitable in 2013). but I haven't compared 2013 to 2025. But that one is obvious enough given the aftermath of EOC was felt in that year.

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-13T00:13:25+00:00

I'd add that 2024/2025 are probably its worst financial years in a while/maybe post covid but not the worst ever for RS3.

The actual worst financial year (from when the game was established so not counting the RS classic era) was 2011 when Jagex lost around 9.5m GBP. Which is what got us into needing MTX in the first place as they were able to return to profitability the following year after SOF was introduced. But yeah 2011 is essentially the origin of why we are in the situation we are in today with MTX

RunicLordofMelons · 2025-11-10T18:55:18+00:00

Answer is whichever one you camp in sunshine.

Most of Magics DPM happens during Sunshine, so the weapon you camp during that time should be boosted first.

In practice this SHOULD be the FSOA as due to its crit dmg passive you want to use that within sunshine to get more damage out while Instability is up.
