Started a thread. I have some hopes for it.

I remember the Gower bros. were against MTX, but had to yield with RuneScape. I hope they keep their new game MTX and politics-free, but given the current era that might be asking for too much.
Depends on their publisher situation. Seems the only way you can get away with not having MTX/retarded current year shit is to be self-published.
 
This week:

Paedophile pride event (A)
Gross. I don't even want to talk about it. Click the link at your peril.

Edit: lol. lmao even (A)

> Noooooooo RS3 players are all paedophile degenerate gooning freaks. There's no way any of them would downvote kid grooming month. It must be outsiders. Please believe me.

Last thing on this subject. This is Mod Azanna, the faggot at the frontlines pushing this faggotry along with Mod Doom, Fowl, Zura, Jack etc:

Source (A) (the text below his name was left from the previous episode. It's not the fag Druid/Owly. So many faggot Jagex Mods, sigh.) I didn't bother watching the whole video.
Why is it always the white liberals pushing this faggotry onto everyone.

A higher level of graphics so you can see the jarring game polygons in crisper detail.

Daemonheim Archaeology may be coming next week.

Daemonheim digsite info (A)

Rewards:
Relic - Spirit Weaver: +50% XP for making pouches one at a time. A new low for uselessness.
Arch skilling off-hand - Balarak's Sash Brush: passive bonuses: +excavation success rate, +mattock precision, extra materials, 'unique' bonus to time sprites.
Hunter skilling off-hand - Skeka's Hypnowand: bonuses to whirligigs, box traps and big game hunter.

Can get DG tokens, DG wildcards and Tetracompass pieces. Presumably a passive of the hunter skilling-offhand, but unclear from the newspost. (the video may clarify but I'm not watching it)

Graphical update to the whole area.

New lore (written by ultra-woke jmods).

Would have been more useful at a lower level like say, 34-40ish Archaeology so new players and fresh Ironman accounts could get their hands on it. Based on the level ranges given in the video, it could be a reward as late as 113. No new player wants to train to levels between 73-113 just to Ectofuntus their Summoning. It'd be easier to amass charms at 0-1 mechanic Arch Glacor.

For the most part I've liked the lore and what direction Jack has taken things even if he's in the same crop as them. Ending the world and stopping it has made the stakes all fucked up but I can appreciate the storylines they've done.

That being said the archaeology mysteries are a spot for basically short stories and if there's anything about two gay dragonkins fucking instead of lore about the weirdness of Daemonheim I'm gonna be pissed.

Checked in with the old community that still plays RS3. The ironmen autists said it's dead on arrival even for irons since (like you said) it's infinitely easier to amass charms and materials these days, even for mid-level players.

The story approaching the EGW was primarily written by Raven, but he was slowly sidelined for Zura who did the entirety of the civil war arc (and probably writes the slop they churn now). Without knowing all that, I'd regularly write paragraphs to my friend about the lore heading in a crap direction and not making any logical sense, week after week. It was only afterwards that I'd learnt about Raven's replacement from someone who'd contacted him privately to ask about what the fuck was going on. I believe he said Raven had no input on the main story from around Twilight of the Gods onwards, in favour of a junior mod (Zura).

The few 'lore' folks I've talked to about it privately were unanimously disgusted with the civil war arc. I don't know how you felt about it, but I will never forgive Jack for allowing Zura to take a fat shit all over the characters whose lore was established and appreciated by the larger part of the community over a decade ago.

The new digsite lore will be written by Rowley who (along with Jack) pulled a PR stunt retconning the characters from the Feud quest. I'm cautiously pessimistic with Jack at the helm. Chaose's a well known extreme liberal. And Kitsune's a shameless weeb. Not a good look. I predict a non-binary dragonkin, since they're familiar with the formula by now: pollute the lore slowly, just barely so it doesn't spark a massive outrage among the most casual players.

I'm immensely blackpilled when it comes to the lore :S

P.S. Raven's not above criticism either. His preferred strategy's to introduce LGBT and diversity without talking about it so it doesn't draw as much attention as an in-your-face faggot couple (friend sent me a screenshot of him saying this. I'd need a while to dig through my chats to find it). If he had any amount of say in the recent lore, that tranny at the fort would've been a they/them without the quest's newspost or the logbook thing from the quest mentioning it. An example of his work is Angof, who's only disclosed as a tranny when you hand in his husband's ring as part of the master quest cape req, which a very few number of players would encounter at the time. The quest introducing Angof never makes any mention or hints at it.

I forget if the gay bird discloses his gay lore unless you go through his chat options during Sliske's Endgame, or encounter him in the maze. Similar thing really.

I did think of one potential niche use but I don't know if it's necessarily better than standard training. If a player doesn't have Shamani, the relic might be good for farming for it. The problem is that skilling pets are more likely to be dropped on larger xp drops. It would depend on how the math works out as far as quantity of xp drops versus size.

Edit:

It was from Archaeology and gave lore to the Ring of Life that Solomon used during the H.A.M. series. That specific ring was created with an enchantment that would whisk Armadyl's partner to safety should he be attacked by any enemies and all Ring of Life enchantments are based on the original ring.

Here's how my OSRS Ironman adventure is going since RS3 isn't doing it for me anymore.

Honestly I forgot I even did the Zamorakian Civil War quests but I'm like ambivalent about where Moia is headed. Everything else with tearing apart the Zamorakians didn't sit well with me. Bilrach now being a literal puppet to some sort of power is almost a humorous parallel to some of the newer lore. Your old favorites are now being made to be whatever suits the narrative and in this case they wanted Moia to be a Maleficent to Adrasteia's Disney Princess. So instead of this character that is a half-breed experiment whose only purpose in life was to be a servant (and quite good at it she was cunning and calculating), I don't know maybe just fucking off to live her life? Is now trying to be this megalomaniac power hungry supreme bad that is making purposely stupid decisions and messing with powers she does not understand.

Basically after we dealt with Zamorak my brain was turned off until the fort quest-wise. Twilight of the Gods was fine enough, Aftermath Daughter of Chaos, pretty much that entire length of tying up the Gods and having Adri/Moia be important didn't do it for me. I think it was supposed to be a trial run of sorts for Zura. I don't know who in particular is doing the new Moia/Bilrach stuff or if it's still primarily Zura but maybe the fact it's gonna involve Xau-Tak and some other factors will mean better hands will write it. IIRC the pirate series was by a jmod who left and a long time mod (Rowley?) came in and did Pieces of Hate and I liked the tie in to the ambassador/XT stuff since the quest line was always sorta spooky and as a finale they pulled back the curtain.

Shrike is also back after getting harassed out after Extinction and I liked the EGW so if she's involved hopefully things go well. I'm not above saying I lurk the discord but currently it's mostly Mod Fowl taking his laps because of the heckin valid pride shit he worked so hard on.

ETA I said it earlier in the thread but I don't mind Armadyl. He's such a cool character and him having had like two husbands doesn't really matter much. They made it gay for ESG or whatever reasons but ultimately the partners served to be a tragic point because one got nuked in Forinthry when he was just trying to start a life and build a home for him and Armadyl.

Speaking of lore, I remember for my character I was going for him siding with Zaros, mainly because I just found him pretty cool. So I basically did everything possible to show I was on his team, no matter how small. And then some quest comes along where, if I'm recalling right, some random Mahjarrat bitch sort of comes out of nowhere and decides I don't actually have Zaros' best interest at heart and all the goodwill built up over numerous quests went down the shitter. I know Jagex can't tailor huge questlines for every possible decision for so many players, but it just felt like a slap in the face that the chance to basically side with a particular god was given just for the god to go "Uh, nuh-uh, I don't think I like you anymore!" when my character did nothing wrong.

I'd still be willing to give the game more of a chance again if all this tranny shit wasn't in it. Side content aside, I am aware that they start shoving pronouns into things including they/them nonsense. Really makes me sad, I first started playing the game like, around eighteen years ago and now I just don't want to bother with it. Pride freaks really just ruin fucking everything.

From memory the only thing since Angof the magical tranny elf has been your butler at the fort being a they/them (and you being able to pick the gender neutral "dux" title instead of Duke/duchess). Both are fairly minor but that's the idea as mentioned above. Beyond pride which is an open display of faggotry they sneak it in via side characters like Aster being they/them. The only direct thing in a quest I can think of besides a pronouns thing in the little suspect list for Murder on the Border, was Evil Dave's Big Day Out, a quest where you do a freaky Friday wjth Evil Dave and since he's banned from Falador you hit the makeover mage to become Davina, and while that's mostly benign you talk to his mom and she says she supports the transition.
 
For bonds anyways. Grand Exchange prices have shot up for those in both RS3 and OSRS between the price increase and gradual oversaturation of gold in the market. I'm glad I just paid for membership up front and never got into the loop of constantly worrying about making enough in game gold to afford more membership.

I don't know how much longer I actually want to play the game with it becoming increasingly pozzed but some of my interactions and some of the open chat I've seen about OSRS has given me some hope for at least a sizable fraction of the playerbase.

Love to see it. 45m increase (~50%) in 3 months).

The average noob will struggle. Still dirt cheap as far as I'm concerned.
A lot of folks have been using RS3 as a bond farm to pay for their OSRS membership for years. Works like a charm.
 
Some news on the upcoming magic changes & boss dungeon. (A)
  • T95 DW Magic effect will be concept 3 (see the linked newspost or here). There will be further tweaks made to it and a better picture of the weapons overall should be coming soon
  • DW and 2H will get access to all of these abilities: Conc/Gconc, Sonic/Gsonic and Magma. There's no word on removing the shared CD.
  • The boss dungeon's death mechanic is getting tweaked to incur a limited damage penalty to players who die in normal mode. It might get further changes. Full details will be announced soon

If I ever play RS3 again, I see I won't be regretting my time investment in getting an Inquisitor's Staff. Gconc with staves will be nuts. It's probably for the best since 90+ wands are locked behind group bosses.

I think the new DW weps will outclass any existing 2H. I can't think of more than a handful of uses for staves: FSoA spec, 4taa (which may or may not be dead depending on how the new DW weps work), and DG.

But I don't really know anymore... I haven't played in a while.

I still find it funny that some BiS gear continues to come from mid level content.
 
I gave RS3 a shot again after watching Sicknerd playing it. Imo its not as bad as OSRS players make it out to be. Feels like people are still bitter over EOC (fair enough) but I feel like they're a little too harsh on it. I've been noticing more content creators giving it a shot as well.

Biggest gripe is the ugly as fuck wings cosmetics and the occasional oversized pets.
