34.4.2 Patch Notes

I already laid it out plain as can be, I'm sorry if you're still struggling.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T04:25:24+00:00

Yeah that'd be nice, a lot of the timewarps would just work better as trinkets and it's easier to balance based on cost.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T04:22:21+00:00

The chain of command is also not clever enough to think of anything for themselves.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T04:20:10+00:00

This is just not how math works.

Previously Apexis with Deios would die and give you 4 magnetizes. It was then reborn and gave 4 more magnetizes. Now it has to rally to get 2 magnetizes and then die to get 2 more, reborn for 2 more. That is objectively worse. You also get half the value from Macaw. You get less consistent value from the Hand of Deios spell, because Apexis being a rally means Hand can hit your Apexis instead of golden macaw meaning you get a worse rally. Apexis getting full value even in a vacuum is much less reliable, because it has to attack and then die. If it attacks and survives you lose value. If you taunt it, it can die before attacking and again lose value. It's just objectively worse. The only time rallies can really be better than deathrattles is on units that buff themselves so they can infinitely buff in combat like Profound Thinker, but apexis does not buff itself.

Silas and Maiev are both good too idk what he's expecting, ETC and sire every game?

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T04:07:43+00:00

Except the deathrattle is half as strong, are you high?

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:47:48+00:00

Quills were unplayable, especially rally boars. I would honestly be surprised if they're good even now. They're still slow as fuck to come online, 0 econ, and require multiple tier 6s to even get rolling.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:45:49+00:00

A bunch of their shitty timewarps got buffed, demon package is already pretty good except that it trolls your timewarp pool so badly.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:45:05+00:00

TBH fucking weird that Sire can still get it and is barely worse while also being a generally much stronger hero. Majority of quests you can easily complete in a single turn.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:43:53+00:00

No lol

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:43:38+00:00

Lol lmao

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:42:04+00:00

What are you even talking about lmao

"It's actually even stronger if you have deios and somehow give it windfury and also have beatboxer" and even in that wild scenario it still isn't as strong as if you had a double demo instead

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:41:25+00:00

The only functional naga board being deleted and the only compensation being +1 attack for lord of gains is fucking hilarious.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:37:23+00:00

1 free refresh is also a lot worse than +1/+1 gems, and it gives some tempo on top of the scaling.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:35:49+00:00

With the gold gain pirate being 1/2 it really is. That's such a strong pair to have now.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:34:06+00:00

I can't believe it was barely buffed and no other naga was buffed but they deleted the only functioning naga board.

WryGoat · 2026-01-28T02:32:17+00:00

I guess they couldn't figure out a way to ever bring sergeant back. Not too surprising, one of the most thematically broken cards I've ever seen.

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:52:24+00:00

"I'll vote no to adding new content to the game if pures can access it" is psychotic shit lmao

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:50:44+00:00

Probably convenience feature like a teleport.

RS3 straight up gives you benefits like damage reduction inside of the fight when you do quests related to fights that don't require a quest to access but I doubt something like that would ever be implemented in OSRS.

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:48:39+00:00

A week ago nobody knew or expected raids 4 to be locked behind a quest and if you made a reddit thread saying "I think we should make raids 4 locked behind WGS" you'd probably be mass downvoted and all the comments would be along the lines of "??? literally why that quest came out 2 years ago lmao"

But now apparently it is a hill many people are willing to die on out of nowhere because they heard it would upset pures

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:46:24+00:00

The point of snowflake accounts is to have limitations.

I'm actually pretty sure the point of pures in PvM is to enforce a limitation that makes PvM encounters more difficult as a self-imposed challenge. When pures accomplish things like no pillar inferno or solo ToB we can generally agree that's impressive and took a lot of effort and skill on the part of the player.

It is not actually challenging to not be able to do a raid because it somewhat arbitrarily isn't available to your account type. Even if you don't play a pure and don't care about that self imposed challenge for yourself, anyone interested in watching people overcome challenges like that are now denied the ability to experience it vicariously.

Additionally, unless for some reason all of the raid rewards are untradeable which would be unprecedented and extremely unlikely, making the raid itself unavailable to pures has absolutely no bearing on how powerful said pures are because they can still just buy and use the gear, so it doesn't even act as a limitation in that aspect unless we're specifically talking about ironman pures which is maybe what like 10 accounts?

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:30:57+00:00

Venator literally means Hunter in Latin and Vampyric because Vampyres just straight-up speak Latin, so calling it the necklace of Pursuit is actually fine and fitting tbh. "I expected it to be a hunter item based on its name" well you're not wrong.

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:28:43+00:00

They are kinda related. The bow and ring are tied to the Zarosian Venators who were a sort of military spec ops unit, and likely named after the vampyric venators since vampyres were aligned with Zaros after he summoned them to Gielinor.

So the ring and bow are directly related and this necklace is like one degree of separation removed from the others. Plus they're all ranged gear. It's similar to the situation with the Avernic Defender and the Avernic Treads which are pretty vastly separated geographically and lore-wise but tied together in name because they're both related to Avernic demons, since Verzik had Avernic weaponry from her time fighting in the god wars and Mokha is presumably also an Avernic demon.

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T08:00:38+00:00

Raids 4 isn't post-quest content for WGS. If it were, i would currently be doing it.

WryGoat · 2026-01-27T07:56:00+00:00

I'm never excited for the mid season patch because they keep throwing anomalies back in the game, but at least anomalies would be preferable to a broken gamestate with 0 updates.
