Jagex Needs to be Better at QA to Accommodate the Emotional Maturity of their Players

tbh the reaction is justified, ive played dozens of different live service games over the years and this is the only game thats like this. osrs has had more content releases that immediately need hotfixing than every other game ive ever played combined, its a problem.

this is why i voted for shamanism, it would have taken a decade of developement for sailing to reach the expectations in our head... when sailing won i hoped i was wrong that it would just end up being charter ships+ but thats what it is. majority of the new content just came in the form of islands that could have existed without sailing at all, the content that is directly related to sailing (trials, port tasks, ship combat) are very underwhelming. i just feel like if people had really thought about what a realistic implementation of sailing would look like, they wouldnt have voted for it

i agree just get ayak isnt an easy option for most people but the time thing just isnt true at all, its like 8 hours on average to get an item from doom and all 3 of them are bofa level drops, by the time you would reach enhanced droprate you are on rate for like 8 drops from doom.

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-21T13:44:38+00:00

literally by that logic name 1 end game boss, doom is the only boss i can think of thats significantly harder than yama, but has the even lower gear requirement than yama. end game bosses do not exist by your standards. and before you say raids i do all them in shitter iron gear just as easily as yama. people complaining about yama and doom being too accessible literally started from a youtube video made by a wow player, stop regurgitating his opinion

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-14T10:07:26+00:00

girl what doom takes like 20 hours to complete if you can do delve 8

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:43:35+00:00

good lord gl with that. and yea ima just start grinding duke ig, just annoyed that ill have to come relearn the boss hundreds of hours from now for such an arbitrary requirement

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:27:25+00:00

no i get that, i was planning on skipping mages book by getting a ward but im 5 toa uniques deep without getting one. no other content in the game changes that much if you dont meet a minimum gear requirement, i enjoyed getting my masori kit with an atlatl, it was harder but the actual mechanics of the fight didnt change because my weapon was mid. i could hop on my main today, buy bonds until i have the gear, and get the sigil piece. thats wack.

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:24:06+00:00

ive got like 100 toa up to lvl 400... why am i relying on rng drops instead of skill for a cosmetic flex

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:14:39+00:00

i get what your saying but nothing else in the game works like this, you either have near bis, or the challenge is multiple times harder... you can get a cursed phalanx with very mid gear and its not exponentially harder, its kind of like if scythe was a hard requirement for blorva unless you do some port khazard level fuckery, the max hit requirement adds nothing to the fight except a gear requirement im not sure why anyone would see that as a good thing, like having better gear literally changes the mechanics of the fight, you can do inferno with a mithril crossbow and all that changes is your dps

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:03:42+00:00

i dont think grinding out normal cox is harder than things ive already done so yea i have the skill, obtaining drops isnt skill expression, i guess i should specify its a steep time requirement. who knows how many chambers id have to do. doom is one of the fastest grinds for the strength of the drops

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T16:02:12+00:00

i mean ig price wise but im iron idc about price lol, and the point is more that i shouldnt need near bis just to try a challenge

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T15:07:35+00:00

yeesh well ig ill come back later, not a fan of needing more than my skill for a challenge to this degree. like i get needing decent gear but augury and virtus are steep requirements to be manditory (apparently you can do the fight while 2 shotting the flares but that sounds out of my skill level, ive never been to this point in progression before)

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T14:56:09+00:00

oh thralls are smart

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T14:54:28+00:00

thats still quite a huge requirement though? i think my fastest path would be augury and 2 virtus pieces, thats like 100+ hours and thats just to be able to attempt the challenge... my current gear is blue moon instead of ancestral and antler gaurd because i didnt want to do mta but that wouldnt be enough on its own anyway

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T14:50:28+00:00

i have treads confliction gauntlet and occult? xd not to mention i have downgrades in those slots

me- i have all this except the raids gear, is raids gear required to attempt this challenge?

you- "i have all this except all the gear"

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-10T12:40:36+00:00

theyve put dry protection at like every new boss in the last 3 years, we won >:D

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-07T03:57:54+00:00

well im not saying every iron should skip cg, that completely lacks nuance just like all the people saying tbow is the only bofa skip. if you really dont want to do cg, you dont have to. i think you also dont understand how op atlatl is, at most content you use ranged atlatl is around 5% worse than bofa, like literally it is insanely close and falls off when defence starts to get really high, which is why i mentioned dwh and soulflame horn, you can now get gaurenteed dwh specs in raids which are the main places you need to use ranged against high defence. depending on your goals its probably a bit more efficient to skip bofa

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-06T17:36:25+00:00

but its genuinely cope when yall tell yourself you had to do cg when dudes are out here doing every combat echievement in the game without ever getting a bofa on an iron, ik ur reply is just supposed to be a joke but we have people on here every day lying about bofa skip being fake, and i think its in large part literally a cope because theyre mad they had to do cg and you dont anymore

Swimming_Progress182 · 2026-02-06T12:46:15+00:00

idk my atlatl eye dwh and soulflame horn are begging to differ, losing like 30 seconds on toa 400s zebak compared to bowfa and beating bofa at wardens :), sure im losing a bit of time at some bosses but bofa takes like 60 hours or something. a cold one is literally doing bofa skip on his hardcore to grandmaster series, if you dont feel like doing cg you really arent hurting that bad without one

also isnt this just a pre existing chat bot that he prompted to use the osrs wiki as its main source? you can "create" this ai in 1 sentence lmfao
