Agreed, I just got tier 7 relic last night so I'm excited to try out Fight Caves (again because I died like a dumbass the first time around).

I'm so bad at fight cave lol Doesn't help that I took the mage relic and magic is the worst combat style for it, I guess.

I am also super bad at Fight Caves lol With Soul Stealer relic I can get to Jad without using any supplies at least, but last night I hosed it up at that point twice. First time I was trying to get the "survive a hit from Jad without prayer on" task but he just hit me for max, second time I misread a move and he blasted me into the ground. The really annoying thing is that now everything before Jad is really easy so I have to sit through 50 minutes of stuff before Jad just to get more practice on him.

 Leagues complete. Soul stealer + the archery relic made it an absolute breeze. Jad in HDOS was a bit jarring because his animations were a little different, so I took a hit but that was fine because there's a task and a cheev for it.

Do we still pay out for maxing out guild jobs? Yearly membership worth buying? Played around to 65 Combat, didn't do much quests, mostly did slayer tower. Helluva fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Dec 29, 2023 |

How do the two versions of this play on Mobile? After playing some of the idle clicker companion game I felt the urge to pick up RS again but I would like it as a tablet game I can play on the couch if I can. I'm leaning towards RS3 for the content but it seems like it might have a bad android client from the bit that I have tried

I'd say the mobile app for OSRS is better purely for the fact that the UI is easier to come to terms with. It also seems to have a quite a few quality of life settings in-line with third-party apps like Runelite. The RS3 mobile app is viable for afk tasks, I've gotten use out of it for skilling primarily. Combat on a mobile or tablet UI for RS3 seems unmanageable to me, but maybe others with more experience can speak to that. I'd say overall, you'll only run into limitations with the mobile app for OSRS with very high level endgame PVM and any PVP, while for RS3 you'll run into limitations for any combat content. I used to play OSRS primarily on an iPad at work for a couple years, and it worked just as well on my android phone app, I think it has the more polished mobile experience at the moment overall.

you can AFK very easily on mobile but for anything else from combat to active skilling the screen has to be pretty big to not always misclick. even doing dailies is a pain there. if your phone supports stuff like picture-in-picture or locking the screen while active (Samsung Game Booster) you can pretty much AFK mine in RS3 for the duration of the logout timer. I can just go jogging or watch shows on my phone while keeping track of notifications with headphones

My phone has a pen in it so I can click accurately pretty well, but it sounds like my assumption about the UI is accurate as far as RS3A goes. I'll give it a shot still to see how the client works, maybe it was just janky and unstable because it needs to download all the textures still, but OSRS seems like the way to go

Yeah the OSRS clients are behind clients like Runelite in terms of list of features, but they made DRASTIC improvements compared to what the game used to be. Hard to know if it will ever reach Runelite parity (because RL will probably keep adding and fine tweaking feature, outside the scope of needing it to fit in the game's code), but a lot of stuff has been integrated, so it is a much better experience - even on the vanilla PC client - than it used to be.

I have been playing a bit of RS3 on my PC just because I found OSRS to be a bit, well, old school for sit down and play for hours kind of stuff, and it's been fun aside from runecrafting being an absolute wiki-hell clusterfuck. However I tried the android apps on my tablet and unfortunately they both suck. OSRS is stable but the game loads in a very small box around you with giant black walls more than 20 feet away, to the point where navigation becomes a problem. On RS3 the game is a lot better, and I almost like the UI more than PC, but the thing has a lot of slowdown and crashes every five minutes even on a midrange tablet. I'm going to see if I can tank the graphics on RS3 somehow or if there is some sort of processor setting I can change but wowee

This may sound silly, but was your zoom set to a super-far distance on OSRS mobile? I agree that it's tiny to an unplayable extent if you're zoomed way out, but you can adjust it so it's pretty much the same between the two versions of the game on mobile apps for world navigation. Pretty much what I'd expect for performance feedback on the RS3 mobile app. The PC client makes my GPU wind up like crazy sometimes too, just not very well optimized. You can crank the graphics settings down super low on mobile but then you're playing with basically OSRS graphics with muddy textures slapped on

It may be due to using a large tablet and the screen being far larger than the client would expect, leading to seeing a lot of stuff off the screen. I can see if I can bump the view distance, but even if I zoom in more I find that it's too small of an area to really be able to navigate, since you can't see landmarks in the distance and have to go by the map instead. It's not undoable but it's not really good for a primary mode of play. I'll fiddle with it later but I am still enjoying Melvor Idle because let's face it, afk skilling is most of what I like about runescape lmao

If the new combat system in RS3 gives you rune-less spells when equipping a magical weapon then is there any reason for Air Strike to even exist? Or am I missing something? I guess I don't understand how magic works in RS3 because in OSRS it's simple, you use runes to cast spells out of your spellbook. But now that everything has a combat bar I pick up a mind spike from the mage tower quest, select Air Strike, kill a cow with it, and I don't get any magic XP. E. Okay, it's XP per kill, not per cast now. But it's still confusing where the actual spells come in during the wiz bang animations.

Runes are used when you use an auto attack with magic (which happens much less in EoC with a complete revolution bar). If you are using legacy mode, each spell cast costs runes like before. The basic Ancient Magicks have their effect be a 5% proc chance on abilities, and when it procs it uses runes. Legacy mode has them function like Old School. The advanced Ancient Magicks have unique functions and tend to cost a high amount of runes depending on their consumption effect. The original combat spells are incredibly outdated, but for the most part just cast a monster's weakness (this only affects accuracy) and keep in mind that a staff's level caps spell damage, so using a T99 combat spell with a T80 staff only does T80 damage and wastes extra runes for no reason. Use necromancy. Putty fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Jan 13, 2024 |

Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense for what I have seen. So if you are casting a spell then the damage of that spell will scale with the selected spell through the auto-revolution, but it only uses a rune when the "real" auto-cast comes around again?

Yep. Even though this is a thing you still can't use magic abilities if you don't have any runes for the auto attack regardless of what gets cast first.

https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/news/2M9sXk/cvc-capital-partners-and-haveli-investments-agree-to-acquire-jagexquote:Friday 9th February 2024, Cambridge, UK. Global private equity and investment advisory firm CVC Capital Partners (CVC Funds) and Haveli Investments today announced it has agreed to acquire Jagex, a leading developer and publisher of video games. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Reportedly sold for 900m. What do you think the future of RuneScape is under new management? Cross-promotions with other games, new games with the IP, or somehow finding a way to crank up MTX to 11 to wring the last few pennies from whales?

Afaik they are a long term holder of companies so it’s not a quick pump and dump.

Checked and you're pretty much on the money there, this will be the sixth owner. Years below for anyone who wants to compare updates/eras of the game against ownership interests.

Honestly if anything changes I feel like it would be related to RS3, with how unhappy the playerbase is and how the numbers are dwindling - everything I hear about it is... not great in terms of how stuff is going. I feel like you'd have to be insane to touch OSRS at this point, but investing groups are not known to be rational ( see : Embracer ) so who knows!!

Having worked for a company owned by the Carlyle Group this new owner has got to be an improvement. Carlyle did a bunch of scum fuckery and ruined the company I worked for and caused massive brain drain.
