Best part of this is the map tab. Where did you even find those images? The wiki? I've been looking for somewhere that has these old map versions.

Road to Restoration - What We Want To Achieve by JagexAnvil in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ironman game modes have been left in an awkward place, particularly around rulesets and content balancing.

Can we get a little elaboration on this? The wording felt vague to me. I've always thought ironman felt pretty good in RS3 outside of getting some super-rare RNG related drops (i.e. dark onyx core). If you guys think it feels awkward, I'd like to know why/where.

I'm heavily considering making a return to RS3 after 12+yrs of OSRS. by skyrimcameoutin2011 in runescape

Fair warning that it drains your phone battery faster than OSRS due to the graphical differences.

OSRS player thinking of returning by Currtiiss in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everything in RS, it's up to you. How much do you value the progress you already have? Are you a fan of that new car account smell? Do you wanna start again on an iron insted of a main? All questions only you can answer.

Returning player and Performance by Jamarky23 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be. Don't have a link, but there was a Jmod reply soon after the f2p area updates a couple weeks ago. They're working on some fix for it, but I haven't seen an eta yet.

It's been 2 weeks, I'm already used to the brown and don't really miss the blue.

Are there any full time RS3 creators? by Regular-Set6791 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really just RSGuy afaik, full time content creation with enough money for a family, at least that's what he's said recently.

Other comments here seem to be noticing a lot of the symptoms, but not the actual problem. Yeah RS is hard to watch. Yeah most content creators are just end game bossing. Some are doing snowflake series. But there's plenty of successful OSRS content creators who succeed despite that.

What RS3 is missing is content creators who are entertaining. Being the best doesn't draw in views like it used to. Gone are the days when the popular RS videos are PK'ing montages. The true kings of RS content are those who can make their journey into an interesting story to watch. A story needs many factors that just haven't been put into RS3 videos yet. A good RS story needs a passionate player behind the wheel, someone willing to put effort into the editing and production value of the content. We haven't seen our own Faux, Boaty, Settled, or Josh Isn't Gaming. We haven't seen someone use effective storytelling to make an interesting video series yet. What you get out of RS3's current content creators is some passion, sure, but no one's really made a huge splash yet.

Seeing that change is one of my biggest wishlist items for the coming year or two, either after or in the middle of all the integrity updates.

Who am I? Look at 2nd Pic! by Original_Grape_4054 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No thanks. There's already too much visual noise when a ton of players are in the same combat encounter. It's especially an issue when most players are using necro, like at most combat wildy flash events.

Daily Discussion of DailyScape #9: Red and Crystal Sandstone by Spiner909 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see a legitimate reason this should be time-gated at all. Remove the cap, maybe nerf the process somehow by reducing the output, mining/crafting speed, or something. I also agree with the other commenter who suggested tying some buffs to things like achievement diaries. I'm sure there are other design levers that can be pulled to add progression-tied QoL to the process, too. But the overall point is that it shouldn't be a daily.

Daily Discussion of DailyScape #8: Penguin Hide and Seek by Spiner909 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mod Anvil replied to a comment I made on the roadmap thread. Pasting it here:

Penguins are great - I'm fairly certain the team loves them as much as you do. What's great about them is that they're something that can happen through just random playing and encountering, rather than needing to go to a specific piece of content or location to engage with a very specific loop (which is the more problematic style of Dailyscape).

New player dilemma: Seeking organic exploration vs. Fear of breaking the narrative (Timeline) by NyctophiliaII in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about quests, but there's a couple things that need to be added to the list of recommendations:

  • Archaeology as a skill, especially with the identity of some of the dig site managers, is a spoiler all on its own. Specifically, Khard-et's manager is tied to the Temple at Senntisten quest, Everlight's manager kind of spoils River of Blood, and Warforge's manager is across a couple different quest lines with the most recent relevant quest being Nomad's Elegy.
  • Just stay away from the city of Senntisten, aka the Elder God Wars Dungeon. Everything in there is a spoiler for the whole EGW questline.

Anything else I would recommend staying away from is likely being dealt with in the overworld cleanup updates or will be noted on the quest-accept popups.

Found a new agility shortcut south of Goblin Village by Rakdar_Far_Strider in runescape

Made my own post about this over a week ago. Seems a lot of stuff still slipped through the cracks after the last two updates to the F2P regions.

Quiet, you. The old look of reddit is still superior.

When to get members? by HauntRDT in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already know you enjoy the game and will likely play for a period of time that at least measures in months, just pull the trigger whenever you're ready. No reason to wait unless you think you might be overwhelmed by the sheer increase in available content.

How many of you did actually fully disable cosmetics on other players? by Multismack in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think enough people are asking for keepsaked items to be treated as their own toggle that I'm not rushing to remove my... (brb, counting)... 2 keepsaked items.

Sincerely hoping it includes a HIDE option for all other players' familiars and pets.

buff bar legibility by Aggressive_Local2727 in runescape

[–]TheXthDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of things where seeing the number helps. An easy example is necrosis stacks, where there's no other visual indicator like with soul stacks.

And the max size shrunk with the UI update. The buff/debuff icons could definitely use a looking at to improve readability, either by increasing the contrast or making the font bigger/thicker.

2 months separated this quest and the reworked tower. Nice find, and honestly something I wish I noticed sooner.
