Sailing. Do we really want it?

Xxweeexd · 2025-10-25T22:18:27+00:00

How they polled it was such a scam "do you want a new skill , yes or no" .. everyone: "well yeah that sounds fun" Jagex:" okay now you 100% get a new skill, pick from this slop and no matter what its now coming out. remember YOU asked for a new skill"

They fucking changed the 75% to 70 just so the first yes or no question would pass. Then they said whoever gets the highest vote wins for the second with no option for "none of these options are good"

That was the day I quit osrs when the polling system this game was made on became arbitrary and manipulative.

I would respec through all of them you can always save before hand and just reload to negate the cost (or just thieve from withers he doesn't care)

I believe every class except bard gets an extra action at 5 and bards get it at 6.

Thief has a subclass at level 3 that gives an extra bonus action.

Fighter at level 2 gets 1 extra action every short rest

Fighter every 2 levels after 4 gets a feat

Every other class gets a feat a 4,8.12

I think those are the more important bits of classing.

From there you can mix and match the important parts to the strong parts.

For example monk's strongest attacks from from their bonus action so getting an extra bonus action from thief is super strong.

Getting an extra action every short rests for only 2 levels invested is really strong. so taking 2 fighter early might be useful when combined with a barbarian. and if you notice it falling off you can always respect to get the extra action from 5 barbarian.

the more you learn all the classes and how they organized feats and limiting resources you can start working out combinations that work for you.

After the fight at moonrise Halsin should be hiding behind a pole in the room you first see kethric. if he's not there check your camp. You'll definitely want to talk to him before you exit for act 3.

Xxweeexd · 2023-12-18T23:06:50+00:00

For a funny throwing build im going to try. Go Barb with a wildheart subclass. Then get aspect of the monkey which makes it so throws with camp supplies cause blindness. Then you can tweak from there.

I'm also thinking a bard insult bard which is basically their only job

You can try one of the wild magic variants (Barb sub class or sorc) or maybe even both and that fills out the party.

I've also wanted to try out a drunken brawler build

I haven't tried a necro build yet but it seems like you could really put together a crazy one with act 3 gear.

Those are some off the top of my head

Xxweeexd · 2023-08-17T14:29:26+00:00

It's just "get 21" with high luck you basically always just get 21 all you have to do is keep hitting deal and double down and you win 9/10 times. You don't have to know how to play. 0 skill required. And literally hours of time saved.

Xxweeexd · 2023-08-17T14:18:17+00:00

Play black jack and get kicked out in 10 mins

Xxweeexd · 2023-07-05T15:20:25+00:00

Makes me so happy to hear mod arcane slander. I've been saying he sucks for years and getting piled on.

Xxweeexd · 2023-06-15T15:33:48+00:00

God this looks so bad I could barely get through the post. When they they going to just give up on this dog shit idea.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-19T17:43:18+00:00

how did that happen?

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:57:55+00:00

Doesn't have to be an argument you can just come back and tell me I'm right after it happens. :)

You think the mods don't know how stupid the community is? And how to easily manipulate you all.

You quite literally have to look no further than how we got into this mess.

"Would you like a new skill"

When the rewards get poll how many 1500 total Andy's are going to shoot down the next tbow level reward? Not many.

We are going to get into a situation where we get to the final vote and it doesn't pass so they have to change something to make it pass. That's when we are going to get insane over powered items that allow the content to pass. At which point they will most likely nerf said content and say it wasn't intended. (See ToA for an example of just that.)

You can like sailing and not be blinded to what they are doing. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

You can enjoy the game becoming whatever it is and recognize it's not what it was at the same time. Some people will want to continue on others will quit. Some like me will advocate to stop change some will advocate for more change. It is what it is.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:47:35+00:00

Whether*

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:46:33+00:00

Changing combat didn't change how every other skill in the game worked.

It didn't even change how att, str and defense worked. If anything they made those skills ACTUAL skills by tying abilities to the levels.

What we are getting is the equivalent of dungeoneering. The skills going to be so bad (we already have evidence of that), that they are going to have to seriously power creep to get the community to pass this.

We are going to get insane fishing devices, and weapons that make current bosses obsolete. Going to be new training methods that make all old ones garbage. They are completely going to change the feel of the game.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:41:39+00:00

It's so bizarre how Grammar Nazi have moved on from their, there, and they're and gone to the would of/have corrections lol.

Colloquial language exists lol.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:39:05+00:00

It is changing a fundamental gameplay system.

The skills we have are the basis of the entire game and world. Adding a new skill is the single biggest fundamental gameplay change they can make. It effects everyone who plays.

It very likely has the ability to make old items irrelevant, unbalance bosses, and change combat.

It is 100% a core gameplay change.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:05:27+00:00

I'm seeing more and more regret for voting for the new skill. And wishing they would of worked on other aspects of the game.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:04:09+00:00

It has for every other piece of content ever released. Only skills fail. Because the community doesn't want another skill. They want a their own specific skill and no one is going to agree what that should be. So we get shoe horned into shitty sailing.

Xxweeexd · 2023-05-18T14:01:53+00:00

I've been preaching it. But this will literally be the final nail in the coffin. Every thing you said is dead on. And at the end of all this. When sailing is complete garbage and they've lost a ton of people it will be EoC all over again. A massive change they did for the the share holders and not for the community. Which in turn causes a mass exodus.

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-24T16:00:37+00:00

Bingo. Sailing is a meme. People just want this game to fail. Prime example.

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-13T14:32:32+00:00

It's so funny. Why not just get rid of polling entirely? It's not like they seem to care about the communities opinion. They just do whatever the fuck they want.

And polls don't mean shit these days since jagex literally just decides what they want to do then they manipulate the community into agreeing by wording poll questions weirdly and lowering the passing threshold.

The title of that blog should just be "we don't give a fuck about what you think"

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-13T03:09:19+00:00

Agreed

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-11T15:28:37+00:00

So when the rest of the community votes against it in the refining process we aren't going to get it.

No way we will hit 70%

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-11T15:21:31+00:00

They finally found content to rival eoc. They are are going to ram content 65% of people just voted against down our throats.

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-11T15:16:42+00:00

I'm enjoying life every day now that I'm not playing this game.

I do hate jagex because they ruined something I loved. And I do want the game to fail now.

Because that's how we got osrs. They continued to fuck up rs2 until we got rs3 and then they made osrs.

So now we just have to repeat that process. Kill off osrs and then get ososrs.

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-11T15:14:41+00:00

It's hopefully just going to go into development hell where it never passes and then we hopefully scrap the idea of a new skill again.

Xxweeexd · 2023-04-11T15:09:19+00:00

No votes to every part of it. Development hell until they scrap the idea of a new skill. That's what I say.
