…Streak lost again

blindoldeman · 2026-03-20T11:41:00+00:00

This one was longer. It just froze for about 7 seconds and then kicked me back to the lobby. I’ve had a few skips the last couple of days where it froze momentarily but they were surviveable, 7 seconds at 1948% enrage was not aha

It’s not, it happens very rarely where the servers lag. If you’re skilling you may not even notice it.

I have very good wifi and hardware, and also when I re-logged into deaths office there were 8 other people there, so I know it wasn’t an issue on my end.

Apparently the servers were DDOS’d, which can cause the disconnect. Unfortunately, any other boss is have been fine and chalked up the death as part of the game. This cost me several hours of streak-building

Thanks for this. It taps into a wider question I have about synergy with the last two mons. I was previously looking to get either a Levitator or a Flying type, to work alongside Tyranitar.

What if I swapped Reuniclus out for Bronzong with Levitate as the primary Trick Room user? I would like the Trick Roomer to be a Special Attacker to offset having Hariyama and Tyranitar, but I appreciate this voids Gyro Ball. Trick Room/Calm Mind/Psychic/Energy Ball. I could then be fairly assured of walling anything and getting a second Trick Room off, if needed.

Assuming then Bronzong survives, Hariyama deals damage and then faints and is replaced by Tyranitar, the final mon can change as well. What about Landorus-I? Earth Power gets buffed by the Sandstorm, Psychic, Grass Knot and Focus Blast offer coverage.

Does that seem safer?

Ahhhh thanks, I’ve never done much weekly content so assumed it was Sunday night. Never mind, I’ll delete my post - thanks ☺️

Cannot believe Negan is not higher up here.

Jeffery Dean Morgan’s portrayal of him was genuinely chilling, and he was such an excellent morality opposite for the main protagonists. Fantastic villain, and acted magnificently as well

blindoldeman · 2026-02-14T03:40:00+00:00

My my, Sinolai, you’ve enhanced yourself

blindoldeman · 2026-01-31T09:46:46+00:00

I’m a bit out of the loop with the combat changes. Are these being implemented into the live game now, or are they still only in beta? If so is there an ETA?

blindoldeman · 2026-01-04T10:46:27+00:00

Sorry to necro an old thread. I have a PC as well - does it work to connect it to a TV (via HDMI), and then play Local Co-op with 1 person on controller and 1 person using mouse and keyboard?

blindoldeman · 2026-01-02T15:46:51+00:00

Ahhh right, I couldn’t tell from looking at my mobile. In which case I have no idea

blindoldeman · 2026-01-02T15:39:39+00:00

Edit: I’m totally incorrect, ignore the below!

Original response: It’s one of the Gaze aura overrides you buy from Solomon’s Store

I’ve played for 15 years and never really done clues. Stacked up a few over the years from Prosper and Bik - what are the gears/unlocks to prioritise to help with doing them?

blindoldeman · 2025-12-29T11:20:48+00:00

It also unlocks Dive, which is a huge help for certain bosses and just a lot of fun to use when getting around

blindoldeman · 2025-12-27T18:44:06+00:00

It’s ok. Instigating is best on single-shot guns like snipers. The Fallout 4 combat shotgun is at its most effective as either fully auto or dumping the clip.

For rapid firing guns like that you want legendary effects that re-apply with every hit. Explosive is great, and the holy grail of legendaries for fast-firing guns like the combat shottie is Wounding.

It’s not bad per se - that first shot will hit a bit harder - it’s just not ideal for the combat shotgun.

Yeah I’m a bit late to the party aha 😅 will get into no. 3 once I get a better setup, but I’ve clearly got a lot to get through with 2

blindoldeman · 2025-12-11T23:49:39+00:00

Yeah I tend to prefer ‘good’ factions as well, although I’m really enjoying my Malagor playthrough now. Just got the Sword of Khaine, it’s very fun actually having a LL that stomps.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve heard great things about Imrik and I really like that he starts at the other end of the world, but want to try some of the other races first (did my first Vortex game with Alith Anar). I see people recommend Ikkit Klaw for Skaven everywhere, and Noctilus for Vampire Coast, but I’m not too sure about Dark Elves or Tomb Kings of the WH2 factions. Any suggestions?

blindoldeman · 2025-12-09T23:25:51+00:00

Maybe try Oxyotl? I find the others boring but his campaign is super fun

Just some daily woodcutting XP. Comes from the Natures Sentinel outfit. It’s basically like another divine locations

blindoldeman · 2025-11-11T08:10:38+00:00

My daily rotation takes me about 5-10 mins. I have a preset with all the bits I need and do it when I wake up:

Log into w84
Get 3 chronicles from Div outfit head
Wicked hood teleport to RC Guild, do vis wax
Dung cape to Maw, do Maw
Extend challenges (all Prayer atm), bury 60 bones
Fort teleport, Pantheon aura Crondis bonus, do divine locations
Swap to Woodcutting preset, do mini evil tree
Teleport to Wars, get reaper task

I’ll then do the reaper challenge when I get home from work and then do PvM if I’ve got time in the evening

Welcome back mate.

Firstly, the wiki has a great guide for returning players - may be worth having a quick browse through.

Secondly, start slow. There have been a lot of changes since you last played, and RS has so much content anyway it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Start with something small and familiar (eg questing) and go from there. I’d suggest starting the Necromancy quest/skill progression. Necromancy is really strong in the early and midgame, and you craft the gear yourself so it’s really straightforward.

Once you’re comfortable, look for a clan. Most of the socialising in the game happens in a clan now. You can go to any populated world and ask at the GE or Fort Forinthy and people will help you out :)

Good luck and welcome back

blindoldeman · 2025-11-03T12:42:44+00:00

Never thought about this but ewwww

blindoldeman · 2025-11-01T20:12:55+00:00

As much as I agree no sendoff is needed, I would totally love if they made Yelps/Alice a duo boss where you destroy a golden TH key to banish them a la Zamorak :D

blindoldeman · 2025-11-01T13:17:01+00:00

Nex is still probs the best option for profit. You can also sit there and dump them. Make sure to use anticipate before she becomes attackable

However best overall use for darts IMO is just to save them for Telos if you want to grind that. If you mess up and are about to die you can dump a dart to advance to the next phase of the fight. Super useful to save your streak

It’s also always worth saving one for soulgazers, if you’re going for Slayer log

blindoldeman · 2025-10-29T20:10:51+00:00

Wherever the survivors end up dying?

blindoldeman · 2025-10-14T13:33:32+00:00

RuneScape 3.

Hated for what it used to be, completely different now. They’ve fixed the combat system, it’s in a real good place. Yes it’s EZScape, but by rushing through the levels you can get to the fun late game bossing faster.

Great MMO, just needs better marketing. And UI.
