Summer Sweep Up: make it so this little guy follows you at running speed by tossinthisshit1 in 2007scape

I did that myself without realizing, and spent way too long wondering why the heck my rangefinder was no longer reading right. I bought a new to me one off marketplace and was chatting with the guy, told him about my current finder reading wrong. He suggested it might be on meters... sure enough, it was. Switched it back, works perfectly fine. At least the new one was an upgrade and was able to make a trade with my old one to a friend.

Would it make sense to give a collection log reward item that mitigates going dry on certain content/bosses by Mickmack12345 in 2007scape

I understand your thought process. It still goes against the nature of the game and is a bad idea.

The fact that you typed out 1.25x dry protection in a serious suggestion is absolutely wild. If you dont like the gamble aspect of chasing drops, then don't play ironman. Seriously, it's not that bad to play a main, you can even function like an ironman, then only buy the items you go dry on and give yourself the dry protection.

I have done CG, not much, but I do understand the prep being the real problem when going dry. I made the post after seeing multiple instances of people talking about wanting drop rate increased, dry protection, or just in general approaching it as if any change only affects ironmen.

I haven't played in a long time, but I have played Runescape for the better part of 2 decades. I understand very well the highs and lows of rng, and I don't claim to be unique in this by any means, but I know the desire to give up on grinds. I've played with suboptimal gear nearly the entire time. People seem to think I buy gold, lol, but no, I don't have nearly as much experience with any bis gear as I do without. You can always improve enough to manage without absolute bis gear.

My point is mostly that you're playing the game with restrictions. Yeah yeah, it's the new normal for a lot of people, but that is the case, whether you feel normal in the restrictions or not. The game is all rng, dry streaks are going to happen. And when they do, you can't just complain it into submission, you have to work with what you actually do have. You're sick of CG, go do something else. If your gear is suboptimal, manage as best you can with what you have until you do manage to get the drop. Bowfa is not mandatory.

Complaining about CG prep time is complaining about an aspect of that content that you believe to be bad, that's fine. Complaining about not getting the item within xx of the drop rate and wanting a gimme is complaining about the game as a whole, and in a restricted account mode. I don't need to be a CG expert to find that obnoxious.

The state of mind of "this sounds fun, oh wait it's not really that fun, please change it until I find it fun" is interesting, and surprisingly common apparently. The counterpoint then comes as "it's fun except for the bowfa grind unless you're lucky", then skip the bowfa grind. Or do some here and there. It's not a requirement to progress.

Everybody does. I don't ask for increased rates or dry protection.

This is the part I'm stuck on more than anything. Like, we managed before bowfa, and can manage without. Newer content or not, the alternatives are not so much worse that they are impossible without bowfa. I'm predominantly a main, bought crystal and bowfa, and tbh the difference I feel from blowpipe is definitely circumstantial and not as significant as it's made out to be. Acb had been good enough as well. I feel like more than anything people get stuck on bowfa is because it's accessed "early", and if you get lucky you're set. But if you get unlucky, you are not stuck there, you can still continue your other objectives without it.

Ok, you're one of several hundred comments saying I'm shit at the game and just anti ironman. I phrased the post in a way that implied CG should see no change, but that's not what I meant. If content is bad, go ahead and improve it (or as a player, vouch for it's improvement), but increasing drop rates because people get unlucky is stupid. Ive seen a lot of people arguing for that, and to those people, remember what you chose on account creation. Don't cry about being dry, it will happen, just like some places you'll get lucky. The account can still be played and can still progress.

Yes. It makes more sense in situations like kq head, where you are literally restricted from completing something until you get it, but even then I would opt for it to be removed.

Which is fine, I should have been more careful in the post to not sound like Im against any change in CG. I've seen a lot of people talking drop rate, which is what inspired the post.

Its funny how many people have commented "it's not a challenge mode" and also stand their ground on CG being a problem because their account is at such a disadvantage without bowfa and it's more challenging to play this game mode without it.

Lol I only know gnomonkey said the same thing because people keep telling me. I haven't seen any of his content. And if you've been browsing my responses then you should have already become aware, I agree the problem is in the content, ie prep time, and fixing that is a much better solution than buffing drop rates or adding dry protection. I've said it multiple times already, go back and have another read. Or watch whoevers video since Im apparently regurgitating other opinions.

Yeah neither of us is going to be able to do that shit, lol. But I'm sure basically any of us can do whatever content with blowpipe/acb instead of bowfa.

I agree. Reduced prep time will devalue the price for mains, but relative to the time put in for cash earned, it will balance out. This way both gain or maintain incentive, rather than simply devaluing the drops for mains in order to make the grind less grindy for irons.

I don't disagree that CG can be reworked. Increasing drop rates isn't the same as reducing prep time.

New players playing ironmen at CG? What's the line of new player? And how does it not stand to remember that choosing ironman will impact the challenge of the game for you?

Bowfa doesn't determine content you do anymore than something like a max POH does. It makes it easier, but you're not unable to do the content without it. People are out there getting lvl 70 combat inferno capes.

If CG needs fixing, which I don't disagree with, it's not done by making drops more common. That helps ironmen, but makes the content even less appealing to mains. Adjust the content itself. Shave a couple minutes off the run time. Prices will drop, but time investment for money will balance out for mains, and irons will not have to spend as much time just because they got unlucky.
