personally, i have 10+ rs3 accounts collecting dust, and while i don't think it's a bad game, eoc changed the whole system that originally made the game appealing to me and also made most of my builds novelty. i renew my osrs membership now and then but this thread seems primarily rs3 so i don't have anything to contribute myself. it's interesting to keep up with though!Byakugan249 wrote:
yea i agree , and i can understand why. Runescape isn't as the same as before for some people, especially the pk system. maybe it'd be more active with more people on osu! if there weren't any changes like the EoC. apparently a lot of people quit after that update. not saying i don't like it, but that's my personal opinion on it ;w;
EoC killed the sentimental part of the game so I can understand that many people left. Another factor that contributed to people leaving the game was the fact that many bots were active at that time, EoC just added insult to the injury.
However, let's face it: Maybe the current OSRS is okay, but the combat before EoC was incredibly imbalanced and .... it was something that was part of fun, actually. Everyone wanted to have a pure pker with a powerful weapon and no other stats. Another thing is that EoC made the game too easy. Yes this is true, especially when you look at weaker monsters like green dragons. But that was necessary so the game could progress further and the challenges we have now in RS3 are the proof. Normally you fight a boss only with your gear, luck and knowing when to eat/switch weapon (this applies for pk more), now you can/have to use proper strategy when fighting and time your actions perfectly. Sadly, RuneScape isn't really getting many new players, so most of the content is aimed for those in the top, this frustrates me a bit.
And of course you're welcome to post anything related to OSRS! the more the better.
Now, small update.
Soooo I finally managed to do the Morvran's slayer challenge even though I was at disadvantage. I forgot about the challenge and went for the reaper task (zyliana) and got the dark debuff crystal. (the more monsters you kill the more debuffing crystals you get, so you should kill the strongest first (araxxor)) Unfortunately, I got probably the worst debuff - no specials/ultimate abilities. So I had to kill araxxor without any ultimates, but slayer mask + death lotus darts did the job. Got 88 slayer yesterday and I'm also 7 points short of getting my first hydrix, and in results, my first amulet of souls
I also got an ascension members slayer task today and it made me smile
The total loot was over 4,5m, pretty nice!
