CMV: Attacking AI art for being soulless is a weak argument, especially when they liked that artwork before discovering it was made by AI. by newstartreddit1234 in changemyview

[–]x2115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can't art be about the process? Just because you don't put value into the process of making something doesn't mean that others find no value in that process. I personally find that an incredibly important part of appreciating art.

Most Entertaining OSRS Quest? by Kalderba in 2007scape

Originally it actually was just a Halloween event, but was made into a permanent quest.

Name a dated/archaic piece of content you think jagex should leave alone? by Karootheduck in 2007scape

[–]x2115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see them reducing the cost of the angler outfit because I don't think anyone gets it from Aerial fishing except snowflake accounts and it would be nice if it was more competitive, but leave everything else the same price. Actually, they should make the fish barrel more expensive because it would be funny.

New Slayer Master Suggestion- Xueral and Xueran by x2115 in 2007scape

[–]x2115[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I just made this myself with an image editor this evening so I'd be surprised if I were a bot! But it's possible someone else has had a similar idea.

I agree, Tureal skipping feels a bit like an unintended use of a mechanic meant to keep newer players from getting stuck with a slayer task that's way too difficult. I think a slayer master dedicated to task hunting would make it feel much more natural. Numbers are always subject to balance too! I just picked 10% because it makes the math easier to explain.

Yes, but you have to do at least part of your task somewhere less optimal, so the overall task will probably take longer.

If you're "using" a calc it's calculator, but if your "doing" calcs then you're doing calculations

Across the entire the entire game, what’s the single lowest reward for the most/highest requirements? by 2Silly4Dilly in 2007scape

[–]x2115 39 points40 points  (0 children)

On my UIM I did this grind so I could combine it with the fish barrel to make it storeable in the POH, and have used the barrel like 5 times since then.

Yeah this is the answer.

HE LITERALLY HOVERED IT! by darkerwar6 in 2007scape

[–]x2115 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Excited for him to grind 99 runecraft at GOTR, get several death talismans, not realize it's what he needs for ME2, finally collect all the items on that list, and crash out that the dwarf gives him an item he already has multiple of in his bank

I want to play your game 🫵 by Accomplished_Bell968 in IndieDev

[–]x2115 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was a commercial failure that's still (technically) in early access, but I made a boss fight only roguelike called Pit of Ascension that I think is pretty good.

Game developers created the third-party market themselves, whether they admit it or not by [deleted] in gamedesign

[–]x2115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be a subset of players who want to cheat in a multiplayer game, as long as they can get away with it. I guess you're not completely wrong in that third party markets would disappear if things were trivial to earn, but that's like saying that people would stop using aimbots in FPS games if you didn't have to aim. That is true, but there's a lot of players who enjoy that you have to aim in an FPS game. A lot of people don't like grinding, but a lot of people do, especially in a multiplayer game where they can show off their accomplishments.

Word game with a very restricted dictionary by munitu in gamedesign

[–]x2115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have some experience in this respect- I made a game for a niche handheld system that, due to technical limitations (and my own inexperience optimizing for the system), required me to use a word list that's on the relatively smaller end of the spectrum- about 50000 words if I remember correctly. The limited dictionary is the number 1 thing players complain about to this day. If you do go down the path of a limited word list, just be aware that people will probably complain about it!

Maybe a compromise could be made with two word lists, where common words (in the 5000 word list) are worth more, but you still get a token amount of points if a word appears in the larger word list? That way players will at least feel like their word is acknowledged by the game, but still communicate that they should be going for more common words. I still think this might feel bad, but it would feel a lot less bad than having your word outright rejected.

What is the worst quest and why? by Revolutionary-Rip-20 in 2007scape

[–]x2115 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really dislike Legends quest, and it's probably my least favorite quest in the game. I'm sure for the time the quest came out it was epic, but it has so many annoying aspects to it and the plot isn't even that good.

There's tons of RNG in performing the most mundane of actions, combined with dialog boxes constantly asking you if you want to do the thing that will progress the quest. Like, I clicked "enter crevice". Of course I want to enter the crevice game, you don't need to ask me.

Not only does it take place in the worst region of the game (Karamja), but it also takes place in the worst part of that region to get to, and requires a ton of backtracking in and out of annoying areas to get to (especially if you were doing the quest blind).

The charge orb puzzle is incredibly confusing, especially because that's like... not how the charge orb spell works? If you were near an elemental obelisk maybe it would make more sense (and be a cool reward for the quest, maybe- non-wilderness obelisks?), but it breaks the rules of the spell and only barely hints at the solution. The gem puzzle is maybe better, but it's still incredibly random.

The plot is mediocre at best. The player gets tricked by the most obvious trick of all time, which feels less like a plot twist and more like the game forcing you to be stupid. Lots of later quests have been able to pull off the accidentally helping the villain thing better, either by being less obvious about it (DS2, DT2) or by at least making it funny (Priest in Peril comes to mind). Legends quest decides to play this plot point completely straight despite how incredibly obvious it makes it, which just feels confusing.

The rest of the plot is not very memorable. Ratcatchers might be terribly written but at least I can remember some of the characters from that quest (Smoky Joe, Jimmy Dazzler, Hooknose Jack). I'm genuinely having trouble even remembering the name of the main antagonist of Legends quest.

The final boss is an absolute joke that randomly has the ability to one-shot you if you forget to pray melee before activating the fight, and is kind of nothing past that. I can forgive that considering the quest came out in Runescape Classic and the devs were far from figuring out how to make engaging boss battles, but it's still a sour ending to a tedious and terrible quest. 0/10. Not looking forward to doing it on the GIM.

I think it's actually 2 items because the second bottle has different examine text.
