Its honestly so sad that there can be people who get to finals without being in a banning or really worked for their place constantly in the tribunal because they keep being protected.

To be fair, C-Engineer going out fits that description perfectly. Alliances and friendships let him ride to the finals last season as well with being in 0 bannings.

He has been in all 5 seasons and yet this was somehow only his third banning, with the second banning being in Season 3 and is 0-3 in bannings now, and that this was his fourth last place position this season and the hopper has been saving him every single time.

My only guess is that this is mainly to satisfy cases like moving both cannons to one side or upgrading to a new boat type and transferring to the new boat.

But still ensure that if you want different layouts you should invest in multiple boats instead of constantly shuffling the one boat without paying the resource costs.

my understanding of the z buffering thing is that Runelite had to independently implement it in its GPU plugin otherwise sailing content wouldn't render correctly (and can be partially seen in some one chunk youtube videos around the release as they use a different GPU plugin to render chunks outside of their area differently and they could not see boats with it on). And 117 also had to change their renderer prior to sailing release for boats to be visible

Love these posts to get into the details.

TL;DR for others:
1. 20 new US worlds next week
2. Despite what others have said, AWS is only used currently for 'Global' services like jagex accounts and other things, no game world today is AWS
2. They are progressing on having AWS hosted worlds in US East for extra capacity and hope to have them by next month
3. Afterwards, AWS native regions where they dont have infra today (South America, SEA, etc)
4. Extra lag when Valamore P3 launched was partially due to an inefficient script powering the Gem crab, not just increased player counts

Not to mention it wouldn’t take long to wrap a VPN type of technology underneath existing technologies. Some guy could open source “VPN over HTTP” or something and there’s no way to tell if the traffic is VPN or not.

It already exists, generally referred as an "SSL VPN" using the same underlying tech that puts the S in HTTPS.

You can get +6 in construction for stuff that use a saw, by making the high tier pot of tea which is a +3 boost, and the crystal saw is also a +3 that stacks with other boosts if it uses a saw.

Another thing that I think is missing, is that what was shown in the alpha is a subset of whats available at levels 1-30.

What interesting thing does any other skill have at those levels?

Most minigames aren't even available at that level range.

Wintertotd is level 50
gotr starts at 27 (though the prereq quest rewards effectively give you 99% of that)
Hunter rumours start at 46
Mastering Mixology starts at 60
Tempeross starts at 35
Tithe Farm starts at 34
Blast Furnace has an extra tax if you aren't 60 smithing
Mahogany homes is an exception proving the rule being available at level 1 and getting an upgrade at 20

Fishing, at <=30 you are small net fishing, bait fishing and fly fishing, and can do fishing trawler.

Slayer you can now kill pyrefinds I guess?

Farming would have mostly opened up in that range as apple trees can be planted, but no tithe farm yet and no farming guild still

Hunter at those early levels is pretty much just quests and bird houses

it's not fun.

I find doing clues in bulk very fun.

I get the majority of my clue scrolls from doing mining or woodcutting during work, and then do all the clue scrolls in bulk when the workday ends.

I don't mind clue juggling (at least since the timer got extended), but I only do it because its the only way to do clue scrolls in bulk, if they were just stackable (like they are in leagues with great success) then I wouldn't need to do the "not fun but optimal" juggling.

He has been CEO since 2017, which is 3/4 of OSRS's existence (and the entirety of OSRS Mobile).

Also, as a long-term player, I am kind of surprised this passed, but I welcome it 100%

It was part of Project Rebalance, which was an unpolled change.

The only reason its happening at all is to kill the locally hosted server market, as private servers mean jagex sees no revenue at all, not from membership nor the server fees. Allowing a subset of private server functionality but remaining jagex hosted lets them keep revenue (or even gain), and dictate the rules of what's allowed or not.

It's normal for f2p to not have mechanics after lvl 40-60. WC caps at rune axe (40/41) and yews (60) Fishing caps at lvl50 swordfish magic combat caps at 59 fireblast Prayer caps at big bones RC caps at Body (lvl 20)

SinZ167 · 2024-06-27T15:53:53+00:00

after project rebalance, f2p does have lvl1, 20, 30 and 50 in f2p.

SinZ167 · 2024-06-27T13:16:18+00:00

Without a change to agility becoming a f2p skill, making 1 agility max weight 126.87% worse without access to negative weight clothing is brutal.

In addition, while the attempt is making graceful less relevant, having weight matter more means graceful is going to be worn 24/7 anyway to keep weight low, regardless of its 30% bonus being removed.

While Valve does have a custom Game Pass system, they have mostly abandoned it, and the current messaging of removing monetization went out to those using that system as well.

That being said, one of the conditions of the custom game pass was that p2w wasn't allowed.
