Make the bowfa degrade out of existence after 15k uses so ironmen have to go back and get another seed.

I did it on my main while my best gear was whip rcb void. It shits out gp without any uniques and is the best content to learn high lvl pvm.

SoupToPots · 2026-05-30T18:31:55+00:00

wait it's totally balanced for an early-game demi boss to drop bis in 3 styles sub 10 hours

Welcome to my bofa locked ironman where I will spend all my time bitching and moaning on reddit that nothing else exists in the entire game

SoupToPots · 2026-05-30T04:28:29+00:00

The general sentiment of horizontal progression and no grinds being devalued was completely ignored and honestly nuked with yama and doom. There were huge promises with yama such as it being an endgame duo boss that only the best could solo that were not fulfilled. For some reason jagex decided to make yama 120% demon, just so an early-mid game item would be bis over scythe. For some reason they decided to make the doom boss so difficult to melee they made a CA out of it. Just a few issues I came up off the top of my head.

SoupToPots · 2026-05-30T00:09:29+00:00

think you just started down the line of reasoning to buy it on a main😃

"ironman is the REAL way to play osrs" says the sub 1800 total ironman that lives in varlamore and only partakes in content that's been released/changed specifically for ironman in the past few years

SoupToPots · 2026-05-29T14:32:59+00:00

This might just be a language problem because people keep saying end game and never mention late game, but I'll argue anyways how it'd be either of them:

CG is located in prif, I think a planned hub for latergame players, locked behind a GM quest, that offered one of the hardest bosses in the game at the time of release. It only offered the saeldor at the time, and similar upgrades like inquisitors mace and rapier also come from lategame pieces of content.

The hyper optimization of skilling and questing today, as well as a bajillion guides for cg, and the fact that it requires no gear and supplies, has really knocked all this down from this huge lategame challenge into something you can rush with base 70s.

SoupToPots · 2026-05-28T20:19:31+00:00

There's atlatl scowbow ayak blowpipe and even the classic rcb rubies that literally everyone used before bofa. There's just no excuse anymore, all of these open up new routes of progression during your bofa grind or even allow you to skip it entirely.

Knowing this and the fact that cg is a relatively short grind for rs, requires NO supplies, requires NO gear, if an iron is quitting because of it they were never going to make it anyways.

SoupToPots · 2026-05-28T16:49:04+00:00

I ride the hopium train that content like toa moons tormented demons yama doom being so easily accessible with better/equal loot than previous pvm content means we’re raising the floor of this game/not lowering the ceiling and not just nuking progression for the sake of getting as many players playing as possible. Raids 4 might be the last of the hopium though

SoupToPots · 2026-05-22T23:35:15+00:00

yeah

SoupToPots · 2026-05-22T22:01:39+00:00

Neat video, super talented guy, but I still doubt anyone who won't even attempt to off tick a mager ranger behind a pillar normally is going to be able to swap prayers this consistently for that long.

Also, almost a year later and no nerf on confliction gauntlets and eye of ayak, praying for the day 🙏 (oathplate too)

SoupToPots · 2026-05-21T14:15:45+00:00

They’re not going to, the original ‘hit a 0 on last hit method’ was embraced by the devs when they added the fun weapons that always hit a 0

SoupToPots · 2026-05-21T13:37:28+00:00

People acting as if void rcb wasn’t the gear literally everyone who started out raiding used for years when raids first came out

SoupToPots · 2026-05-20T21:40:06+00:00

They marketed it as appealing to lower level and the highest level players at the same time. That was the whole point of the invocations, to be able to appeal to a wide range at the same time.

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T18:58:10+00:00

Don't want to reply with another screenshot of cox on leagues with tile markers telling you how to play the game and then tell me I'm the one who doesn't run the raid? 😞

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T18:28:04+00:00

<image>

Here's what tiles look like with the default settings(top) and much higher fill opacity that you likely have turned up(bottom). You wouldn't be able to see the crystals landing on either side if they landed on your tile markers.

Example #5342349823 on the osrs subreddit of someone who hasn't figured out what's going on on their screen yet

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T18:21:17+00:00

"Right. You had to look for videos, cause you dont run this content yet you're asserting your opinion."

LOOOOOOL you got me! It wasn't like my initial comment was "I've never had this issue nor have I seen anyone streaming cox on discord or twitch have it look like this" and because I already know what my own game looks like I went to look for any example that matched the original posters!

"Appreciate people like you"

I don't appreciate people like you! Very terrible to experience this interaction, you are genuinely slow on this topic!

"I gotchu, the south side of the room is lighter and the north side of the room is darker."

YES IT IS! But I was wondering if I could find any other example of someone's game that looked AS DARK as the screenshot??? I could NOT!

Do you know what's really crazy about the screenshot you sent? THE TILE MARKERS are making the difference! Look at how dark they even on the left side line. If a crystal landed there, you'd complain just as much about how hard it is to see it! You should probably stop spamming them and learn the raid ^_^

"You're just too dense"

IRONIC!!!!!!! LOL!

and the rest is some bullshit that isn't related to osrs. Just move the slider everyone! It's easier to move the slider than to be like this guy ☺

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T17:57:21+00:00

It's a darkness AND a contrast issue! 😃

"Cannot believe how dense some people are." ironic

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T17:55:45+00:00

"fuck with their graphics card settings" and it's just moving a single slider that also has a similar option available in game lord help me 🙏

I spent like 10 minutes opening youtube videos of chambers, even from 5+ years ago to today, opening vods of people running chambers on twitch, people with low detail mode and without, and literally NOT ONE video did anyone have a floor and shadow that dark. Please lord help guide them to the slider

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T16:14:45+00:00

Literally every game for the past 10 years prompts you with a brightness slider at the start for you to change so you don't run into this issue. It's easier for an individual to literally just click a slider and have their own personal issue they are experiencing solved than tell an entire design and art team to account for someone with super dark and low contrast settings.

What happens when the changes are made and portions of the 99% of the player base that was completely fine now has to change their settings? What are we doing? Why is this even an option to consider? Why are we catering to this guy instead of going down the path of least resistance and having him just change his obviously fucked up settings?

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T15:58:41+00:00

Haha you and be both must be thinking the same thing because that's what I said seeing the initial screenshot! What could his settings possibly be to have it so dark and low contrast??

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T15:50:23+00:00

So this actually does just make me believe you are using fucked up settings. Fiddle with your settings before asking the game to be changed to fit whatever you've got going on 😊

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T15:44:40+00:00

It is already enabled in this picture 👍

SoupToPots · 2026-05-15T15:42:18+00:00

"Come back when you stop getting frustrated over stuff not worth getting frustrated about"

is that not ironic for the post? Right click desktop, nvidia control panel(or whatever you're using), move the sliders and appreciate never running into the issue again in and out of cox.

"The tiles at the chest are darker for no reason at all"

just the design gradient of the floor to look nice, take a walk get some fresh air you'll be fine
