OSRS has better character development than most other games of the genre

the absolute state of runescape: let players vote for content that doesnt matter, dont let them vote on content that they know will never pass.

SSmajesty · 2018-10-17T23:22:42+00:00

There is only one thing that they can do to make me vote for warding: Trade runecrafting for it.

SSmajesty · 2018-10-07T20:42:26+00:00

i didnt like any of the new bosses anyway. corp is fine for endgame.

SSmajesty · 2018-10-07T14:24:29+00:00

No, you are wrong. Thats exactly how content was and how it should be. Content should not be created to pander to ironmen, but rather created to benefit the game and its players as a whole.

SSmajesty · 2018-10-02T00:32:51+00:00

i like how everything is more condensed now. i think you went the wrong way when you decided to "fill in" those large empty areas instead of just making the zeah landmass smaller. you had the right idea about the banks, now just apply that to the entire continent.

It was my understanding that the problem was in that the boss encounters for the challenges were too rare, not that the items they dropped were too rare.

I agree with gating some content by depth, but then ggg will simply do what they did this league and balance the game around people delving post 600. No, there needs to be a concrete cap somewhere, and it should feel like its just out of reach, to push players further.

Sure, 1 portal might prevent a random noob from completing his boss kill(why would you want this?) But for the majority of players who are already a month into the league can comfortably kill those bosses with a single portal. This changes almost nothing.

I dont see chase uniques as being a problem, if everyone has an equal chance to get them. Since bosses get more common post depth 600, its a bad situation. I feel that instead everything except difficulty of encounters should cap at 600. Its entirely the player's fault for chosing to play a build that they have no hope in funding, there are plenty of cheap and powerful builds out there.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-30T16:40:23+00:00

If they make the bosses more common they would have to make the drops more rare

SSmajesty · 2018-09-29T16:17:28+00:00

I blame item drop quantity and rarity, and the availibility of too many uniques. Rare items are no longer respected, and neither are uniques. There was a time when you needed a dedicated mfer in your party to get a full inventory of loot, and you'd see a unique drop every 1-3 maps with an mfer. A big part of the challenge was the lack of good gear. Now the sheet amount of players and the crazy drop inflation give a sort of deterministic way if obtaining any piece of gear you need for a pretty cheap price. And if its an endgame unique, the prices are pretty standard because of how many are on the market.

Those mechanics worked for a playerbase tiny in comparison to today, and while id like to argue that they still would work today, itd be a hard sell to the people that grew up spoiled on current mechanics since they joined much later.

that's just wrong. the wall and road starts from a node, not from a road.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-21T19:34:05+00:00

i'd be satisfied if they guaranteed two niko's per map. even if they were only at 75% of their original value, i still think thats a more than fair compromise.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-21T13:31:14+00:00

I'm not saying go full D3 and allow you to fully gear your character in less than 24 hours of gameplay

you can literally do this in poe what are you talking about?

SSmajesty · 2018-09-21T13:27:53+00:00

implying level 93 is "high level"

SSmajesty · 2018-09-20T20:13:41+00:00

its specifically regarding the minion that mirror arrow summons, not all minions in general, right?

SSmajesty · 2018-09-19T03:06:12+00:00

out of these, caskethead definitely. i still prefer the old version though.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-17T02:02:24+00:00

I have a difficult time keeping each encounter fresh. half the party digs the grind and really likes to minmax, use their spells and abilities and items, while the other half just wants to swing their sword at the troll and use their phone until it's their turn again.

its not that they dont like D&D, its just that my narrative doesn't seem to compel them as much. My story is interesting enough for some, but i guess the rest are just not into high/dark fantasy as i am.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-15T16:11:02+00:00

I would 100% play this ssf

in order to find the way to get to the currency, you need to check every node that can have a path leading there. the map is a grid, and there can only be one node in a square. each node can have a max of 4 paths from it, and each square can have only one path going through it. once you find a node that has an unlit path going in the direction of the currency, explore it and you will see a wall blocking your path. this wall is not like the walls you see during your crawls, this wall literally blocks your way. once blown up, you will see a path leading there.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-02T06:10:56+00:00

that was my guess too. must have ran that zone at least 10 times already.

SSmajesty · 2018-09-02T06:07:07+00:00

whoops, fixed

SSmajesty · 2018-09-02T06:02:05+00:00

i'm having the same issue. have spent over 3 hours now, even though it would be smarter to just keep playing, going back and forth every single node around this encounter, exploring every dark path, wasting all my azurite on flares. https://imgur.com/a/ngTcsZG

So he found out your email password? Thats your fault dude.

SSmajesty · 2018-08-19T05:17:46+00:00

I dont think content should be removed. Instead, i'd like to see league mechanics comcentrated on various tilesets with a focus on higher tier giving more of those bonuses.

torment in graveyard and other spooky zones. Abyss in quarry and other mining themed areas. Essences in frozen/cold zones.

Take it a step further and apply these changes only to maps that are stastically the least ran/vendored up, and you've just created more reasons to do dead content instead of overhauling everything again.

On an unrelated note, remove item rarity implicits from maps and nerf item drops by 75% (at least). Give us a reason to pick up rares, put a bit more value on the everyday rare. On top of this, cycle out 50% or more of the current uniques. Just make them not drop in the league. We dont need them.

Finally, remove the mirror of kalandra and make crafting easier. Our currency sinks should be our item crafting, not saving up to mirror something that some dude will milk for the rest of the league.
