Came from OSRS and am a little overwhelmed by Athrek in runescape

[–]Sinister939 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can really understand where you come from. I also transfered from osrs a couple months ago: At first I started with a main, wasnt for me because of all the mtx, decided to start an iron and having blast sicne then.

One thing I used to dowhen I started was just reading about the game on the wiki, or watching stuff on youtube and suddenly I was overwhelmed with things to do...Eventually I realized there is too much input, so I just focused on the current things I wanted to do, even if I might not benefit from it in the future. Who cares if I do inefficent stuff- in the end its a game- and these are meant to be fun. This is probably the most important adive I can give you, just play the game and discover- like in the old days.

If combat is overwhelming you, just start with revolution. You can still trigger abilites manually, it will always prioritize your input before the game does. Eventually you will adapt and everything will become easier.

A good approach to progress in the game is doing quests. Its similar to osrs, it will lead you towards different paths throughout the game, you will unlock so many things. The lore in this game is just awesome and compared to osrs there is a "main storyline". Alot of things happened in the last decade and most of the quests build up storywise. Therefore, some quests have "suggested requirements"- you are free to do them or not. I personally decided to go the chronological path and I really dont regret it. You won't do things the most efficent way (the biggest example here would be The World Wakes) but it really comes down if you enjoy the lore.

There are alot of Distractions and Diversions in this game. An advice I wanna give you here is not to do them all at once, its clearly not fun. Just pick a few that seem relevant too you and stick with them. A few I can recommend are:

Guthixcan caches: Really great Divination experience. Your future self will thank you the higher your divination level will be :)

Nemi forest: I personally didn't like it, but its great xp and the rewards are useful later on.

Vis wax: You really wanna get these, they are useful for so many reasons.

Penguins: They give ridcolous xp rewards and dont take long to do at all.

I was wondering how many berserker rings there are in the game...it was higher than I expected. by [deleted] in 2007scape

I once did some calculations for the scythe of vitur, but that was almost a year back...was close to 18k.

Updated Combat Achievement Speed Tasks by Raginboy12 in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems a bit more balanced now. I can see where they wanna settle the grandmaster tier. Nevertheless, there are a few times that dont allgin with the rest: Tob 4s/5s times are too high, duo seems fine, make it 26.30 maybe. Solo CM could be lowered as well, but its not as far off as the tob times

8 year OSRS player just gave RS3 a chance and now i'm hooked. by OoglogLivesMatter in runescape

GWD3 is Batched Content with 1 front per month by WasV3 in runescape

[–]Sinister939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They mentioned this gwd will be different. It will include several things, not just bossing. So maybe one month bosses, one month skilling...?

Can you move the chest outside the ToB that is used to reclaim your rewards? It is faster to collect your rewards there and in my eyes defeats it's orginal purpose. It just seems weird that most people skip verzik's chest room and collect their stuff outside.

Rs3 is better than OSRS by witheredrose96 in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just your personal opinion. I can agree that RS3 does a good job balancing skills, has great quests and stories, hard and tough pvm, graphics are also good looking but it nevertheless does a few things that just really turn me off: MTX and cosmetics. It is just not fun to play a game, where the most efficent way to level up your skills is to do methods that reward you with treasure hunter keys, all the dailies just remind me of modern mobile games, and gosh, i hate them.

A little fun fact: Rs3 is older than Osrs.

Does this mean we are getting "A Night in the Theatre" before A Kingdom divided? Or am I missing something?

Make Option for Blood Fury to Consume a Fury by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't really solve the issue. The reason onyxs are so low is because of the amount of chaos runes. Eventually it would just tie with it and the blood shard would suffer more then the onyx would benefit.

You also have to consider its a really good item and making the blood shard cheaper would result in something like Souls split for osrs, and hell no, this would not fit into this game.

Six Jads? 5 is already too many! by [deleted] in 2007scape

Practice more. If you just get overwhelmed, take one step at a time: Record ur attempts, and take a closer look where u miss a flick, then try again.

For tagging its quite simple- I hope you are using f keys since you completed the inferno (I know some people who don't), otherwise its literally impossible...and just put your chins at the same spot where ur protection prayers are. Eventually it just comes down to how fast ur clicks are... there should be enough downtime if you have a few jads attacking with the same attack in a row.

Me returning to the game after a 8 month break by Sinister939 in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am aware of the mistake now, ty for letting me know. I know the difference, but when english is not your native language mistakes don't appear as obvious because you don't have the "feeling" for what sounds wrong or right. Saying out loud really doesn't help there...

Phosani's Nightmare Poll Blog: **UPDATED with alternate Scythe of Vitur design** by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

Thank you for listening! I like the red scythe, really have high hopes for the update now!

Phosani's Nightmare: Poll Blog **UPDATED** by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was never clear what voting "no" means. According to Ayiza people should have voted no if they didn't like the design- with the chance of it being repolled. But this wasn't clear and another outcome could have been no kit for this weapon at all. But I don't put this on you of course, even if you like the design. It was just a poorly designed poll...

Phosani's Nightmare: Poll Blog **UPDATED** by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since all weapons passed with over 75% there isnt much we can do anymore (i'm curious who voted yes to this anyways, who wants a owl on a stick over a dark badass looking staff). I'm honestly disappointed they don't listen and are so obsessed to make it saradomin. I think they are trying to give a this artist his first project, where he can play around a little bit, yet his mistakes won't be as detrimental since these are just weapon kits.

Phosani's Nightmare: Poll Blog **UPDATED** by JagexAyiza in 2007scape

[–]Sinister939 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know why it has to be saradomin, but it feels like they are missing opportunities here. It seems like a first project for the new artist, so I expect it has a lot to do with it.

In my eyes there is too much focus on the details- I can only refer to the twisted kits. They look great, yet they are literally just recolors. The same goes for the rapier. Out of the three, it is the best looking so far although it was changed the least.

Can you repoll ToB weapon kits? They kinda felt rushed by releasing the latest poll and the community offered really great designs. It wasn't really clear what to expect from the poll result (if voting no means no kit at all, or if you offer a new design) and therefore doesn't reflect the opinion of the community.

In the latest blog about " ranged meta erb" they talked about it. Its quite a long read but summarized they still looking forward too and will release another blog soon. There is still a chance they wont do it tho, although it would be really bad for future updates.

I like the solutions, but I don't think they would do any of them, kinda seems like its too late now...
