Yes, he did. Mod Dean is a 30 something manbaby who lost his poo poo at Sheep Herder, and also smashed a keyboard because he got mad at some other thing, so this is not really surprising.

If he smashed his keyboard over something involving ratcatchers, then that was a 100% reasonable response.

Otherwise :lol:

Ratcatchers can be broken so hard that you have to wait for weekly reset, Sheep herder pre-fix could turn you mad.

The new sheep herder isn't too bad, they got rid of the shroom, a bunch of obstacles and made the sheep reset not terrible.

So considering there is zero incentive to keep doing the world event (other than decent multiskill xp every hour) we are so totally going to get hosed by Tuska.

They mentioned three outcomes. I guess if Tuska wins the majority she'll ram the planet and do the Deathwing. If we win (lol week 1 is already lost) Tuska will be killed, but according to the Astromancer we have to deal with a huge dead god striking down somewhere. Third outcome is most likely kill Tuska and the winning god faction destroys/deflects the body and nothing interesting happens.

To answer my own question it started on the 1st. You tele to some lodestone, do a minigame (solo, group w/ friends or queue), get rewards.

Warpriest (chance to maxhit), some ability for slayer, some neat sounding overrides and exp.

Seems worth it, guess I'm playin' again.

I haven't played this game in years, but I just downloaded Oldschool Runescape.

I also have Windows Movie Maker and Breaking Benjamin mp3s, so I can make sick montages.

They added an item that gives you freeform control over the camera so you can do some awesome movie making, but I'd hazard a guess that it's not available in the old game.

We have a friendchat, Scapegoons, but nobody uses it because few of us play OSRS. Cross game clan chat support is supposedly in the works.

In OSRS News:
Resizable mode has been released!
Watch your character's dead black eyes and unchanging polygonal features stare into the void as you bankstand in glorious 4k!

The OSRS staff has also expanded, bringing the total OSRS staff to 11, new hires include the return of a graphic designer who interned for Jagex last year, a new QA tester, and a content developer transferring over from the RS3 team previously known for her work with the SoF/TH system.

I look forward to the Throw Darts at a Gnome Child on a Spinning Plank for Prizes minigame that's likely to come along soon! Maim to Claim!

Finally, there's a slayer update in the works, including an Abyssal Demon boss (Abyssal Sire), a Hellhound boss (Cerberus), and Boss Slayer similar to the Death slayer tasks on RS3. Other changes planned/polling include drop table reworks and slayer cave expansions. See the full devblog for details.

Haha no, OSRS' point appears to be "make a halfassed version of modern Runescape in mostly the 2007 version's limitations". It hasn't been real old school since a couple months after it came out.

OSRS is more like a professionally developed private server with like maybe 10% more game design knowledge than a 12 year old in his basement. I play it just because RS3 honestly seems clunkier to me at this point with the extreme accumulation of cruft and bad design decisions over the last 8 years. They're both bad games but OSRS captures a sort of "charming quirky british indie grindfest" feel better than RS3 which comes across as just a bad MMO at this point.
