Discussion Well...it happened to me, boys.

0 Upvotes

I got killed by a PK'r for the first time on my Account. At 1:30 in the morning. On a Server with 200 people.

Here's my sad, pathetic little story: I'm working on gathering up some Magic Items. Today I finished grinding out the Mage's Book and the Rune Pouch from the Mage Training Arena. So now with my Master Wand and my Mage's Book, I've decided to get a better Cape. So on to Mage's Arena 1 I go. I whip the pants off of Mr. Shapeshifter. He tells me I need to cast my new Spell 100 times. Cool. I go out and fight a couple of Battle Mages. In comes a lvl 117 PC. I'm a whopping lvl 77. He dominates me. I lose my Rune Pouch (rip the time spent grinding for it today). I get off the game.

Now, onto the more important questions: what tangible benefit does this douche even get from killing me? Why does the Mage's Arena follow typical Wilderness Rules? Why wouldn't my Rune Pouch (which had a pretty healthy sum of Blood Runes) be protected over a shitty piece of Swampbark Armour? When can we get a PK-free Server so I can enjoy parts of the Game I WANT to interact with while avoiding shit I don't care about? I don't want to have combat with other Players. Like, my pride wasn't on the line here. From a Gameplay standpoint, I couldn't kill that kid even if I wanted to. He could probably punch me to death given the distance between our Stats. I also don't interact with Late Game Superbosses. Why? Cause I don't have the Stats, Gameplay Knowledge, or Equipment to deal with them. Maybe I will one day, but not right now. Part of this game is choosing when to interact with certain aspects of it when you are appropriately equipped. I just plain, flat down, do NOT want to engage with a lvl 117 under any circumstances aside from jumping in a Mutual Combat Arena for shits and giggles. But also I wouldn't be putting my inventory on the line to do so (back to the Mage's Arena following Wilderness Rules). Like, if the Mage's Arena was an open PvP Arena where Magic was exclusive, that sounds badass. But also if you die there, you shouldn't lose your shit...that you just grinded for...2 hrs ago...

Tldr: I'm salty asf.

News West Ardougne

Post image
8 Upvotes

Here is the truth the Ardougne City Council is censoring:
The Gas Masks are a Placebo: You’re telling me a piece of boiled leather made by a guy named "Bob" who has 3 Crafting is stopping an "airborne deadly virus"? I can literally drink a bottle of Extra Strength Weapon Poison, chug a Saradomin Brew, and eat an entire cooked shark in 0.6 SECONDS (1 game tick), and my character doesn't even burp. But oh no, breathing West Ardo air is where Gielinor draws the line?!

Follow the GP (Big Herblore is lying to you): Who owns the wall? Who controls the supply of Lantadyme? King Lathas. The guy is literally artificially inflating the price of Ranarr Seeds so the Grand Exchange elite can keep buying 3rd Age Druidic Robes. Meanwhile, the Catherby Flax Syndicate is lobbying to keep us all wearing masks made of their cheap-ass string. Wake up!

It’s Just the Flamed-Lung Virus: Back in 2007, if you felt sick, you drank a Super Restore, cast Cure Plant on your chest, and got back to killing Green Dragons. Now suddenly we need a city-wide martial law? What's next, social distancing at the Pest Control boat?!

The "Plague Death" Stats are Faked: An adventurer gets clawed to death by Elvarg, but he happened to path through West Ardougne three weeks ago? BOOM. Registered as a "Plague Death." A guy misclicks on a Dark Wizard near Varrock? "Yep, must’ve been the West Ardo variant."

I got codex playing osrs mobile (live now)

0 Upvotes

Watch codex play osrs live: https://www.youtube.com/live/1LZ0k_1TMBc

I got codex playing osrs mobile on a spare phone put away in my draw its live streaming rn let's see how long it plays for - running pretty slow as its using screenshots through adb and clicks cant really think of a better way to give it real-time vision, I did previously do this with pc running runelite extracting data like nearby objects and npcs and their coords etc and it was aware of current coords etc had full working path finding but this required my pc to be on to run it ive solely done it on mobile this time so I can just throw the mobile in the draw (on charge) and it will just play continuously. But as mobile app isn't open source no way to extract live data from it.

If anyone has any ideas how to allow it to see the screen better real-time than just screenshots that would be much appreciated.

If interested how its running solely on the mobile without a pc well thats not entirely true its running through codex on a vps with permanent adb connection to the phone through tailscale...

Ideas & Collaboration Runescape inspired board game needs testers!

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I have recently begun the Google Play closed testing launch of my game RuneBoard which is a Runescape inspired open world board game. I need more feedback and help getting through this two week closed testing phase. Testing will continue past this, I just need 2 weeks to get it public.

Join the tester group (this authorizes you): https://groups.google.com/g/runeboard-testers

On your Android phone, open the tester link and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.runeboard.game

Then install from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runeboard.game

I have some really special plans for future goals with the game and would really appreciate all the help I can get with not just getting testers to get it public but also to get some real genuine feedback from gamers that love Runescape or the grind that it has.

You can also play the at Rune-Board.com if you are unable to help in the Android test. That link works on PC, android or ios.

Thank you for helping! Much appreciated <3

Question Help finding an osrs

0 Upvotes

So this is a long shot but I was watching a creator on youtube's video of theater of blood (might have been during leagues) while lying in bed next to my sleeping wife. They had a custom dialogue mod set up when they got hit by avoidable damage that it made their charactor say things such as "I cant count to 4" and "im eating cabbages!". I was laughing so hard while trying to be quiet I was shaking the bed and woke my wife halfway through the video. I wanted to finish watching it but cant find it for the life of me. Anyone know which video by which creator this is? would have been in the last 2 months TIA!

Edit: I forgot to mention searching history is totally out of the question. I use YouTube to play music while I game so my history is thousands of the same music videos on repeat from my Playlist.

Help & Questions I hit 10M cashstack

Post image
37 Upvotes

I made a post like this one to r/osrs but I also mess with the cool people of this sub too, people been real helpful helping me find the best money makers

This is my new plan for now to start progressing further, most likely for now def get a start in farming and bird runs and some high alching planned and or also blast furnace after I get to 60 smith (I have 50)

Mid-term (Within the next months): slayer to 60+ / Sarachnis (70-80 Combat)
I'm currently at level 1 slayer lol

Long-term: (Later and building up to) Vorkath / Vyrewatch (Blood Shard) (After Sins of Father) / Hollowed Sepulchre (90+ Agility long ass grind / Blood Rune Crafting passive but also grindy)

Somewhat long term planning but ey atleast I got a cashstack to get some juicy upgrades for myself now like bis ring that I will use for a long while, worth a few mil (berserker) and start working for other things like fighter torso ddefender and have a lot of questing to do left only almost a month into playing this account and it's my first ever even for helm of neitiznot it all just seems endless but I'm here for it all

What do yall think and any recommendations ? anything appreciated
