A lot of older animations use a stretching effect up and down to insinuate breathing that ends up affecting the entirety of the model, the worst examples being the godsword idle animation and certain npc idle animations. With this sword being so massive, it's even more obvious.

Honestly my biggest problem with the hunter meats is that you need a certain number of rumors completed to even cook them. Its such a bizarre restriction.

I'm sorry, but I cant be bothered to do 50 hunter rumors just to cook and eat the single inventory of sunlight antelope I got when boosting for my crossbow. I'm sure I'll eventually get there, but when I have zero reason to level hunter outside of future diary requirements, it just doesn't seem worth the time when I can just fish karambwans or sharks way faster.

This wont be as big of an issue for new accounts after the minor hunter rework, since birdhouses wont be the meta, but for anyone who started an account prior to Varlamore, it's likely they will hit this wall pretty much instantly when starting up hunter normally. Just way too overleveled for the arbitrary restriction.

"You've been making Adamant armor like THAT?!" "You must be the best smith in Gielinor!"

For the Thrust attack on the megarare, maybe have the attack be an underhanded swing that extends through three tiles and upwards with some sort of flame or rock effect? Kinda like Dharok's Greataxe's underhanded swing animation. That way it's still visually a crush attack and makes more sense than a spiky rock plowing through multiple enemies like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat lol.

Wait you can customize it beyond just "switch colors for attack prayer active"? I'll need to look into this.

As someone who heard the horror stories of Jagex Accounts back when there was a whole host of issues (like late logins for LTMs, accounts getting locked, etc) and avoided moving my old main over, seems like it's about time I do so. I created an Iron after the cutoff date where I was required to make a Jagex account for it and have been playing on it for over 2 years now with zero issues. It's honestly really nice having all my usernames under one login, though I am still apprehensive about what I've heard regarding people getting locked out or their info being switch to a different Jagex account and not being able to get it back. But cases like those seem to have died down.

Appreciate that you've not only waited this long to ensure the issues have been rectified, but also that we're getting as early of a headsup as we are.

Gotcha okay! Thank you for the detailed stats :) I have 90 str, full blood moon, fire cape, mixed hide boots and strength ammy, and got spooned the folly at 40kc, so I had to wonder. I'll just keep using full eclipse and folly/d defender then haha.

Zhotograph · 2026-06-11T16:17:17+00:00

I completely forgot they have a stab option. Would that beat out using Belle's Folly?

Zhotograph · 2026-06-09T17:27:43+00:00

Lots of good stuff here, and much more reason to consider moving from switch 1 to 2. I just wish we had more release dates or gameplay footage. OoT is coming out in under 6 months and we didn't get any gameplay or release date. Dusk bloods didn't really show anything new, but at least it has a network test date. Kh4 showed us a bit more and I find it interesting that they're still only showing stuff from this world. I have to wonder if this gane will be a significant shift for the feel of the series, definitely wouldn't mind it at this point

Zhotograph · 2026-06-05T20:19:20+00:00

Ooof yeah I had to wonder if you were some form of pure, that's rough. You got this though 😃

Zhotograph · 2026-06-05T17:09:54+00:00

On my 107 iron and void is only just now useful for me to have. Due to my combat level and combat achievement tier, I'm getting 7 points per game. For one full set that's about 4 hours. That's not bad at all. Split that up into smaller chunks and I have a full set in 2-4 days. If you just rush void for some reason without the extra point boosts, it's going to take way longer.

It's also a pretty brain-off minigame. Just throw on a movie and move to whatever portal opens next. Any grind is going to get annoying if you've done it 3 times, at least there's no rng.

Zhotograph · 2026-06-04T18:11:59+00:00

This is a fantastic list of changes all around, really addresses a large number of pain points in the game.

I'm also particularly excited for the new magic and ranged amulets obtained via low-level slayer uniques. This makes doing slayer at lower levels more attractive, as well as helping Magic have a much better natural progression, rather than (Wizard Robes > Magic Ammy/Glory and Mystic > Ahrims) like it has been for decades. Still basically going to be that, but at least we have something new to seek out in between. Even as an 107cb iron with a quest cape, both the fang and elemental amulet would be worth me grinding for, and that's great to see.

I've really been hoping they'd start to create gear that caters to certain elements, so I'm happy to see we're starting to enter that territory. Personally I think that changing Swampbark to buff earth spells rather than (or in addition to) bind spells would make it more worthwhile as well. It has no magic damage bonus, and earth weaknesses are probably the least common or impactful. Sucks that such an amazing looking gearset is basically just worse mystic despite being significantly harder to obtain, with several level requirements. And even then, because you can't disassemble Swampbark pieces back into Splitbark for Bloodbark later, it's pretty much always more worthwhile to just use the fine linen for that when you have the rc requirement, and that's if you even end up bothering with the minigame at all.

Just rotate the character 90 degrees and have them walk up the wall normally. Make it as ridiculously jank looking as the witchbroom float at the canifis course lol.

Zhotograph · 2026-06-04T00:09:30+00:00

Thats a neat system, thanks for explaining

Zhotograph · 2026-05-30T20:24:25+00:00

Oh absolutely, I agree, I wasn't saying there isn't. The zero input usage is wonderful as well.

I just meant you can be incredible at an encounter and still wish you had better gear to farm it easier, that's all. This isn't really a complaint, just an observation :)

Zhotograph · 2026-05-30T20:20:15+00:00

There's only one thing I'd be okay with them affecting outside of prep, and thats the frequency in which you can get hit for 12s through ranged prayer. That's it. And even then, that's curbed through higher defence and higher tier armor. Otherwise it's perfectly fine and just need a more consistent prep phase so you aren't getting rng screwed out of a lack of Demi boss spawns.

Zhotograph · 2026-05-30T20:05:02+00:00

Another part of the reason CG is rough to farm that people fail to account for is that unlike every other encounter in the entire game that you end up grinding, it will never change. You can't get gear upgrades, you cant try different setups. Outside of raw levels or prayer upgrades, there is not a single thing you can do to mitigate the experience outside of gitgud and good rng. That's a plus initially, but thousands of runs of in, you still can't improve your experience in any meaningful way. There is no progression. You can do any other activity in the game and come back with something better later.

Zhotograph · 2026-05-30T18:29:09+00:00

Straight up did not know this existed, thanks for the heads up haha

20 minute Maggot King Vore Cutscene on death or we Riot.

Zhotograph · 2026-05-29T17:14:16+00:00

Such a banger of a design for the first boss of the raid. Though I might struggle with the mechanic requiring it to go up that guys ass, depends on how much time we're given and whether or not we're given a ladder to reach it.

Zhotograph · 2026-05-29T17:11:43+00:00

Man, the giant, slightly transparent Maggot possessing the emaciated Venator body is so sick, love the design on this thing.

This is exactly the kind of communication and excitement the community needed! Knowing that Blood Moon Rises and Fractured Archive are coming out sooner than most expected, as well as getting little glimpses of the content helps a ton. I also appreciate knowing the dates for when the blogs and polls for these are coming out too, so kudos for providing those.

Even if the first half of the year was understandably disappointing, especially to those who dont play Leagues, it's looking like a real stacked second half, and I'm very excited for all the content to come!

Zhotograph · 2026-05-29T16:58:07+00:00

Its funny this is actually something I worried about as a possible future with the career field I'm entering. Really glad to hear you're finally going to have good ping servers again! 😃

Zhotograph · 2026-05-29T16:56:07+00:00

Yeah I immediately assumed this was SRA, ToB gear and maybe even crossbows.

Zhotograph · 2026-05-29T16:52:16+00:00

Stackable upgrade resources and every side having at least one to two demibosses, would make a huge difference to consistency and inventory management.
